Behind The Spotlight Chapter 116
Just like that, March arrived.
Within the past few months, Collin's clients had been busy with their respective projects, each of them diving deeper into their careers.
Lawrence was working on Bride Runaway. So far, the project was already three-fourths done with its filming, and the production team was pushing hard to meet deadlines, juggling multiple sets, costumes, and late-night shoots. Being the lead actor of this romance movie, Lawrence had at least 80% of the total screentime. It was both a blessing and a curse since every expression, every misstep, would be scrutinized more than anyone else's. It also meant that he had to attend every single filming session, just like Jolyne Robs who, like him, barely had time to sleep and lived off endless cups of coffee just to keep her energy steady.
By the way, Collin still had no idea what was going on between Jolyne Robs and Arnold Johnson, though he occasionally caught subtle glances and unspoken tension between the two. Arnold kept quiet about it and never spoke of his clients, maintaining the professional conduct the industry demanded. An agent should never discuss the personal lives of clients with strangers, because one careless slip could ruin reputations and careers overnight.
Aside from Lawrence, Axel was also doing well. Even though his salary had dropped to $250,000 after the scandal, he was satisfied that he had landed another movie. In his heart, he knew that simply staying relevant after such a scandal was already a victory. Actually, his last film, Week On A Cruise Ship, had paid him $250,000 as well, and now his salary for Frightening Movie was the same, which gave him a strange sense of déjà vu. He felt like he had gone back to the time when he was still a nobody auditioning for Week On A Cruise Ship. He attended script readings and rehearsals without fail, notebook in hand and determination in his eyes. He never missed a session, even when he was exhausted, he dragged himself there, unwilling to risk missing a single chance to prove himself. He treated this opportunity as if the role itself were his lifeline in a ruthless industry.
As for Wyatt, the director of Frightening Movie, he was working closely with both Axel and Henry. He often stayed up until dawn fine-tuning details and discussing scenes over take-out meals. Being the director, he had to be present all the time and oversee the progress of pre-production, from costume fittings to location scouting. His schedule was packed to the brim. Thankfully, Henry Greyson's last project with Director Esteban had ended a few weeks ago, giving him some space to breathe. For now, he didn't have too many responsibilities, which was a rare relief.
As for Jennifer...
"My job is done at last, fuck yeah."
