Chapter 937:
“Yes… Miss Hewitt!” Margo had been reciting her lines when she heard Annabel’s voice. She turned around and nodded, looking a little embarrassed. “I’ve memorized my lines and rehearsed at home many times, but… I’m still a little nervous p>
Annabel patted her shoulder and reassured her. “Take it easy for now. As long as you perform normally when it counts, you’ll be fine. You’ve endorsed a lot of products, so I have faith in you p>
“Thank you, Miss Hewitt!” Margo nodded firmly and smiled at Annabel. She wouldn’t let the company down.
Once all the staff had arrived, the script supervisor clapped the slate to signal the start of filming, and the entire crew sprang into action.
The first scene was a dialogue-heavy one: Margo’s character ran backstage at the opera house and confronted Rory’s character. It was also the prelude to the climax of the film, so it carried great weight.
Rory was a seasoned actor, equally adept at television and film. Compared to him, Margo was less experienced, but she concentrated on conveying the right emotions. As a result, the two worked together smoothly.
“Stop! Stop! Stop p>
The director sat behind the camera, watching their performance closely. When they reached the final confrontation, he suddenly shouted.
He rose from his chair and said earnestly to Margo, “Margo, you can’t just shed tears at this moment. You need to show perseverance first. Do you understand? Let’s do it again—one more time p>
This was the third time the director had halted filming.
Margo felt discouraged under the pressure of being the lead actress. After being stopped three times in a row, she was at a loss. “Well p>
Noticing her distracted expression, Rory smiled and suggested to the director, “Director, we’ve been filming for a while. Why don’t we take a break and regroup p>

After the director agreed, Rory and Margo headed back to the rest area. Rory picked up the script and walked over to her on his own.
“Feeling a bit down earlier?” Rory asked.
Margo glanced at him, forced a smile, and shook her head.
Rory smiled, then showed her the script with several lines underlined. “The part we just acted isn’t as difficult as you think. The heroine is a calm, independent rural girl. Even when she quarrels with the hero, she wouldn’t be overly emotional. Think about a time you argued with someone you cared about. Do you have a boyfriend, or have you had one in the past p>
After a long silence, Margo nodded. “Yes p>
“Good. Then imagine I’m your ex-boyfriend, and we’re having a fight. You’re angry, but you’re trying to hold back your tears while still making your point clear. Remember that feeling—the one where you’re swallowing your grievance.” Rory’s tone stayed gentle but focused. “Later, I’ll give you a little push to bring it out. If you really can’t cry, then as a last resort, use the lights or anything else you can as a stimulus p>
As Rory spoke, his expression was vivid and sincere. Margo could tell how hard he was trying to help her.
Her gloom gradually lifted, and Rory nodded at her with a smile.
