Chapter 285: Sign The New Contract
Nick introduced the four actors to Briena. She had expected well-known and famous actors for such crucial scenes at a turning point in the female lead’s character arc, but instead, she was greeted by unfamiliar faces. The only notable thing about them was that all four were tall, handsome, and well-built men.
"Ms. Briena, if you’re not too tired, you can discuss the script with these four and plan before we start shooting the scenes tomorrow," Nick said. "Discussing with your co-actors will make it easier for you to act with them, ease any tension, and help you get familiar with them."
Briena glanced at Ana, who quickly responded, "Mr. Nick, Ms. Briena has been shooting for a long time today. We’ll take this revised script with us and read it tonight. Afterward, we can discuss it with the actors. Is that alright?"
"Of course, I don’t mind," Nick replied, though his tone carried a hint of skepticism. "Ms. Briena, I hope you’re not looking down on these new actors. If they were famous, you would have agreed right away."
"Ah... no, no, it’s not like that," Briena said quickly, glancing at the four actors, who looked slightly displeased by Nick’s comment. "I’m genuinely tired. Let’s go over the script tomorrow, alright?"
The actors remained silent while Nick said, "Alright. Rest well, Ms. Briena. See you soon." He then left with the four actors.
Once they were gone, Briena frowned and muttered, "When Dwen said they weren’t famous actors, I was at least expecting some recognizable faces. But these? Who are these actors?"
"They’re... porn actors," Ana replied hesitantly.
Briena’s eyes widened in shock. "What? Why didn’t you tell me before?"
"I didn’t know either," Ana said.
"What should we do now?" Briena asked anxiously. "I can’t possibly work with porn actors. The scenes are about sexual abuse and the hardships the female lead faces... it won’t look good."
