Chapter 1173 Shoot A Film
"I want to shoot a film," Nina excitedly replied.
Emelia almost spat out the coffee she had just drunk. She quickly put down the coffee in her hand and
said seriously, "Are you crazy? You're pregnant and it's too tiring for you to shoot a film. Besides, you
have decided to stop filming and to live a slow life so as to have a child."
There were numerous film scripts waiting for Nina, an excellent actress.
In fact, Nina got bored with her job after successfully challenging a variety of roles in movies.
Emelia was startled by Nina's sudden proposal.
Nina turned speechless. "You misunderstand. I want to be a director of a film."
These words rendered Emelia surprised. "Director?"
Nina looked calm. "Right. A good actor wants to be a director. I'm interested in it. It's challenging."
Emelia collected herself and persuaded Nina solemnly, "I definitely support your dream. But you have
to think twice. Can you be a director when you're pregnant? Directing is no easier than acting."
Emelia had worked in many production teams and knew that the voices of directors often became
hoarse because of constant communication with actors during the busy and hard work.
Nina asked for a favor. "Thus, I need you to help me convince my husband."
Emelia jumped from the sofa. "Cameron? Are you crazy? He never changes his mind once he decides
it. I quit and you would better stay at home during your pregnancy. If I were your husband, I will be
against your idea. More exactly, I am strongly opposed to your proposal now. Seriously, we all hope
you are safe and sound."
Depression was written on Nina's face. "I know. But I'm bored at home. In addition to my physical
condition, you should also care about my mental condition. I'm worried that I'll get depressed during
pregnancy if I stay idle."
Then, Emelia frowned and pondered if Nina would suffer serious mental problems under such
circumstances when staying at home without anything to do.
Nina quickly added, "You know what movie I want to make? I intend to make a movie of the novel you
wrote for me and Cameron, a romantic campus love story. Films on this subject are very popular these
days. When you first wrote the novel, I decided to play the heroine myself. But now I'm not at the right
age for this movie."
"These days, I was thinking that I would direct and choose the right young actress for the film. I
understand the needs of the audience."
Emelia immediately excitedly echoed, "I changed my mind just now. I want to see this novel adapted
into a movie more than anyone else. It is all about your love story with Cameron. I am deeply moved by
it."
Emelia was moved to tears by their story.
Nina beamed. "I know you will help me. Now, you have to persuade Cameron."
Then, she shook her hands. "In fact, your words are enough to change his mind. I will retell your words
to him when I come back home."
She held Emelia's hands. "You have to do me a favor"
Emelia was confused. "Anything else?"
She shook Emelia's hands. "I can muster my courage when you are my scriptwriter."© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Emelia replied, "Of course. I witnessed your wonderful love story and wrote the novel myself. Besides,
I'm a professional scriptwriter."
"It's very kind of you to help." She brushed her long hair. "With your help, I'm sure I can make this
movie."
Their heated discussion about the script lasted for a whole afternoon.
Cameron came back home from his company early and called Nina after finding she was not at home.
Nina told him that she stayed with Emelia and at the thought of the film plan, she added, "Let's have
dinner outside. We can discuss it with you."
"You two?" Cameron was confused about why Emelia would join in their dinner and even discuss
something with him.
But he agreed. "OK. Where are you? I'll pick you up as soon as I make a reservation."
After Nina hung up, Emelia got nervous. "Discuss with him about the film tonight? It might be too hasty.
I have made no preparations."
Emelia supported Nina's plan and could provide professional assistance. In addition, Emelia didn't
need to look after her children all day long who went to kindergarten.
Cameron would be the biggest hindrance as he may not allow his pregnant wife to do such a tiring job.
Though the filming of a love story may not be challenging, the director still had to stay in a studio and
spent energy and time communicating with actors and staff.
Nina and Emelia felt it was highly difficult to persuade Cameron.
In their plan, during the first three months of Nina's pregnancy, Emelia finished the script and they
started to choose the actors and actresses.
Later, they could finish the film shooting before Nina was in the third trimester so that she could have
more time to get ready for child delivery.
