Chapter 114: Crazy Director (2)
"Cut! Cut! Cut! Somebody in the back messed up! Let’s start again from the top!" Director Cooper Braggs yelled out, causing everybody from the contestants to the staff members to freeze in place before quiet groans sounded out everywhere as people moved to rearrange themselves.
"Huff, huff."
Personally, Ari felt like he was dying as he was slumped over with his hands on his knees.
Because he was used to wearing his Otterly Adorable tracksuit all the time, which automatically regulated his body temperature and caused him not to overheat and sweat, he felt like he was in h*ll right now.
The studio lights were bright and hot, causing the school uniform to stick to his sweaty body, sweat ran down his face, stinging his eyes, and his knees, back, and feet hurt.
Badly.
The contestants surrounding him didn’t look much better.
Everyone’s face was slightly red and sweaty from exertion because this crazy director had made them sing and dance to the signal song live for several hours without even a water break or opportunity to sit on the floor, since there was not a single chair in sight.
Ari had no way to know the exact amount of time that had passed because there wasn’t a single clock on set, and his only indication was the hunger that was slowly creeping on him.
After each take, the director, Cooper Braggs, was completely dissatisfied and spent time moving people around, complaining about their live vocals, and even the messed-up transitions before making them go all out with the signal song again and again.
Considering the fact that all the contestants were still standing on the same level ground and the platforms hadn’t even started rising and moving around, it was clear that it was going to be an extremely long day.
