Enchanted Nightfall: Falling for Destiny

Manny sneaked a glance at Tyrone, muttering to himself, "Mr. York, you must be bubbling with joy inside, huh?"

Tyrone glanced at the time; it was past 10 a.m., and the temperature was steadily rising. Sitting in the shade, he could still feel the warmth.

He looked towards Quintessa who was standing under the blazing sun. A makeup artist was touching up her makeup while she held the script, cramming her lines.

Dressed heavily under the scorching sun, Quintessa seemed oblivious to the heat. Tyrone sighed; she didn't need to push herself so hard, yet she seemed never to learn to rely on others.

Tyrone peeked into Quintessa's bag, finding only a portable mini fan. He turned to Manny, "Go buy a few more fans." Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Manny paused, "Alright."

Cynthia approached Quintessa.

Quintessa raised an eyebrow, "Yes?"

Cynthia's eyes flickered with hesitation before she said, "Nothing."

Director Frost called the actors to their marks. It was a scene set at a garden party involving many actors and actresses. The director wanted to do a trial run, knowing group scenes were typically challenging to nail in one take.

Quintessa glanced at Cynthia, curious about her earlier hesitation but had no time to ponder as they were about to start filming. She left her script and positioned herself for the scene.

They were portraying a garden party, with the Queen and her ladies-in-waiting touring the royal gardens. With so many women together, the undercurrents of rivalry and hidden agendas were palpable, yet on the surface, everyone had to appear friendly and congenial.

A few minutes into filming, Leona messed up her lines, causing Director Frost to call "cut".

Leona apologized profusely, bowing to everyone, "Sorry, sorry, I'm really sorry, everyone. I got nervous and flubbed my lines. I'm truly sorry."

Her apology seemed utterly genuine,

and looked like she was really self-accusatory. Since it was common for mistakes to happen in group scenes, no one was too bothered, not even the director.

Standing near Queen, Quintessa fanned herself with her sleeve, ē feeling a bit heavy-headed, possibly from not covering herself properly overnight. She just hoped they could wrap up this scene quickly

After adjusting the camera angles, the director had everyone restart.

Somehow, a few of the ladies tripped over each other's long dresses, causing a minor commotion.

Director Frost immediately called "cut", "What's going on with you?"

"Sorry, sorry, the dresses are too long. We didn't pay attention and stumbled. Sorry, everyone; sorry, Director Frost. We'll be more careful."

This mishap was taken in stride, the director didn't get peeved, and they attempted the take for the third time.

Quintessa wiped the sweat from her forehead; the sun made her head feel even heavier, and her steps unsteady.

On the third attempt, Crystal's sleeve got caught on a branch, tearing her costume, cut. The fourth attempt was interrupted by an actress sneezing loudly during her lines, cut.

The group scene, which started just after 10 a.m., dragged on past noon without conclusion. Except for Quintessa, Cynthia, and the actress playing the Queen, everyone had faced mishaps.

Director Frost was furious. He had

warned that anyone who messed up three times in a scene would be sent packing. But today, with over a dozemactors, each had only faltered twice at most. No one crossed the three-strike mark.
