So, she scratched her head awkwardly, “I’m not quite used to this…”
Emma let out a gentle laugh, lowered her head and returned to her script. At this time, Yadanar walked over and knelt down beside her. “Are you in need of a stunt double?” she asked.
“Xing Er!” Lithika warned.
Yadanar had never considered herself as a lowly person and simply viewed Emma as an industry senior. So, Emma did not feel like it was difficult to converse with her. In fact, she felt quite comfortable as she also asked a question, “You don’t like following Zephaniah?”
Yadanar did not say a word. She simply stared at Emma, but she obviously looked like she had been treated unfairly.
“Xing Er, get up first.”
“It’s fine, Auntie Bai. Actually, I’ve liked your daughter from the start,” Emma said straightforwardly. She had a good eye for people and believed that people were drawn to each other if they were destined to be friends. So, Emma did not feel that Yadanar had to follow any particular rules.
Yadanar did not respond. She instead stood up and sat down on the sofa.
Seeing this, Emma did not ask any further, she simply replied, “I don’t need a stunt double.”
“Why?”
“I’ve always done everything myself.”
“But, that’s very dangerous!” Yadanar looked at Emma confusedly. Was it because she had to protect her pride in front of people?
“Firstly, you know better than I do that the job of a stunt double is very dangerous. There is no guarantee for neither your body nor your life. I don’t care whether other people use stunt doubles or not. But, I am certain that I do not need one,” Emma replied in seriousness. “Plus, the film is mine and the script is mine. Only when I do every scene myself, will I be able to understand how to react and how the character feels. There are some things that can’t rely purely on imagination. If a character is not portrayed by one person, don’t you feel that it isn’t complete?”
Yadanar thought to herself for a moment. Although she felt that Emma was being too serious, she also liked this seriousness.
“I don’t like sticking to the rules!”
“So, can you tell me why you suddenly wanted to be my stunt double?”
Yadanar hesitated for a moment. She was used to being shameless and thin-skinned, so there was no reason for her to protect the jerk’s pride. As a result, Yadanar explained everything that Zephaniah had done to Emma and Lithika. Including how he had broken her video game console and how he had brought a new artist into the apartment to bully her. She explained the entire thing in detail!
After hearing Yadanar’s story, Emma couldn’t believe that Zephaniah would act like that, but at the same time, she couldn’t ignore it. She did not like seeing people she knew being bullied. Even though, the bully was also her friend.
“Since you can’t stand it there anymore, then just quit,” Lithika comforted.
“But, the jerk wrote on the contract that if I was to break it, I would have to pay him $20 million.”
“Are you worse than that girl named Annie?” Emma asked with no regard to whether it was $20 or $20 million.
“Are you joking? I started in the industry when I was 7…” Yadanar was obviously unwilling to accept defeat. Especially since, Annie only specialized in free combat, when she was skilled in all forms of martial arts. If she really wanted to do something, she would not accept defeat.
“Then why are you enduring it?” Emma directly pointed out, “If you really have nothing to fear, then you shouldn’t let others look down on you.”
“As bad as it sounds, I never let others take what belongs to me.”
“Even if I don’t like it, they will need to ask for my permission.”
“If I was in your position, and I didn’t want to go overseas, then I simply wouldn’t go. However, I’m sorry, even though I don’t want the opportunity, it doesn’t mean anyone can just take it,” Emma paused for a moment and looked at Yadanar, “This industry has always been one where people s**k up to the powerful and trample the weak. Even if you are just a stunt double, you need to be the best stunt double to deserve the right to say no.”
“At that time, even if you don’t agree with Zephaniah and don’t want to follow his arrangements, you won’t care even if he hires someone else to annoy you.”
Yadanar listened intently to Emma’s words. She had always viewed Emma as a quiet person who got to where she was because of her righteous attitude. When Emma first started explaining her views on stunt doubles, Yadanar assumed she was a person that stuck to the rules.
But, the more she spoke….
…the more she felt that Emma was cool.
Plus, Emma’s words ignited the fire in her heart.
“In the entertainment industry, winning an unknown battle is exciting.”
Yadanar understood what Emma meant. If she wanted to be defiant against something, she needed to first get Zephaniah’s acknowledgment.
Seeing that Yadanar was now enlightened, Emma did not say any more. She simply asked, “Did you mention that Zephaniah broke your game console? I have the newest version of a German one here. There are only two in the entire world. One is used as a sample and the other one is here in my home. You can take it home later as a gift.”
Yadanar looked at Emma and smiled, “Is it fun?”
“I don’t know if it’s fun, but it’s definitely not bad.”
“Then I’ll be glad to accept it,” Yadanar said without any modesty.
Seeing the two women get along well, Lithika felt her worries disappear. She originally thought that Yadanar would anger Emma, but she had been too paranoid. Emma was skilled at reading people’s minds; in front of her, people would only show respect.
Yadanar wasn’t stupid, she was actually very smart. So, she knew why Emma had given her the game console.
So, as Zephaniah arrived home with Annie, Yadanar was sitting in the living room playing her game.
Zephaniah choked, “You got another one?”
“It’s none of your business,” Yadanar replied.
“It looks fun,” Annie was envious, but she also wanted to fight for favoritism to prove her status in front of Yadanar. As a result, she pretended to be weak and acted like she wanted the game console as well.
“I’ll get you one in a couple days,” Zephaniah was accustomed to the competition bet**en artists, so he naturally understood what Annie wanted.
However…Yadanar crossed her arms and said, “I’m sorry, but this is the only one available for private use in the whole world. Miss An wouldn’t want my one would she?”
“Mr An…”
Seeing that Zephaniah actually considered it, Yadanar quickly responded, “I’m sorry, Emma gave this to me. If you want, you can ask her if you can have it.”
Hearing this, Zephaniah clenched his teeth. This brat!
She finally learned how to throw her weight around.
But, why was Emma getting involved?
“Emma? Do you know Emma?” Annie’s eyes ignited with envy.
“Go get some rest, it’s getting late,” Zephaniah reminded. It was time for this childish game to end.
However, just as the two turned to leave, Yadanar suddenly called out, “Wait!”
“What?” Zephaniah had already reached the doorway when he heard Yadanar’s call and turned around.
“I’ll accept the offer from ‘The Savage Wars’,” Yadanar lifted an eyebrow at Annie as she spoke. Seeing the exp**ssion on Annie’s face turn sour, she added, “Emma was right. If something belongs to me, I shouldn’t give it away…”
“Yadanar…you already rejected it before…isn’t it bad to accept it again?” Annie acted extremely helpless in front of Zephaniah. In fact, she even stuttered as she spoke.
When someone acted helpless, especially when it was a beautiful woman, most men wouldn’t be able to handle the pitiful look in their eyes and give up. But, when it came to men like Zephaniah and Eric, they knew inside how hateful these women truly were.
Especially when Annie thought that Yadanar would tolerate her for the sake of her own pride.
However Yadanar never cared about pride; she was reckless and wild. If she wanted to do something, she simply did it. She barely ever considered her pride when doing anything. With the added bonus of witnessing Annie’s act, Yadanar was extra pleased with the outcome. Emma’s advice was indeed effective.
“What’s so bad about it? If I have ten cents and I decide that it is taking up too much space, I might leave it somewhere. But, does that mean it doesn’t belong to me anymore?” Yadanar made a relatively uneducated comparison. Of course, Zephaniah was not convinced by this.
“But…Mr An has already discussed swapping actresses with them.”
“He can also tell them to swap it back. The producers originally wanted me anyway. If he can’t do such a small task, what kind of manager is he? Why not let me do his job instead?” Yadanar rolled her eyes.
As soon as these words left Yadanar’s mouth, even Zephaniah was deemed speechless. This brat……
was ruthless when dealing with her enemies.
