Chapter 184 Let Me Have This Chance
Sofia Schneider felt like she had dug a hole for herself, and on the other side, Sylvia Grant felt the same way.
Sylvia had joined the film crew.
Thanks to Sofia, Davian Sanders took care of her in every possible way.
Yet, Sylvia was still troubled.
She had made a lot of unreasonable demands to Curtis Hart to portray a difficult and proud actress perfectly.
But, in reality, she wasn’t hard to get along with. When she actually started working, she was very dedicated.
Her role involved quite a few action scenes which could have been done by a stunt double. Chapter unlocked!
However, after kicked in.

She couldn’t stand the idea of her action scenes having any flaws.

So, she decided to do all her stunts herself.
This wasn’t difficult for her, but like Sofia, she had her own fighting habits that led to unconscious moves.
Davian was initially impressed by Sylvia’s action scenes, praising her as a natural–born.
actress.
But when Sylvia watched the playback, she was furious.
She was in a historical drama, but her moves were modern, which was a glaring error.
“Davian, let’s do it again,” she said.
“Why? Sylvia, you perfect,” Davian said.

He was already casually calling her Sylvia, as if they were family.
Sylvia pointed to the screen. “Davian, that move is out of place.”

Davian hadn’t noticed it until Sylvia pointed it out. He was surprised that she caught it.
But then he remembered she was recommended by Sofia, so it made sense.
Davian said, “Sylvia, we can fix it in post–production. Don’t worry too much.”
Sylvia knew that post–production could hide the flaw, but her perfectionism wouldn’t let it
- go.
If the scene wasn’t perfect, she’d keep thinking about it and be unhappy, affecting the rest of the shoot.

Davian finally realized this and agreed to reshoot.
However, Sylvia’s action habits, honed over ten years, were hard to change.
After seventy takes, she finally got it to her satisfaction.
When she was finally happy, the crew nearly collapsed in relief.
They had worked with many dedicated actresses, but none to this extent.
Usually, unless an actress had a martial arts background, stunt doubles did all the action
scenes.
No crew would waste so much time on a stunt double’s scenes.
This was the first time an action scene took over seventy takes.
Though Sylvia’s stunts were flawless and elegant like a work of art, watching them seventy times was exhausting.
Davian, drained from the shoot, visibly relaxed when Sylvia was finally satisfied.
Sylvia laughed at his reaction.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, “Davian, everyone worked hard today. I’ll treat everyone to dinner.”

“Davian, you don’t have to do this. It’s my insistence that made everyone work so hard. Let me have this chance,” Sylvia said.
Davian, wary of offending Sylvia and through her, Sofia, didn’t argue further.
He stood up and announced, “Sylvia is treating us to dinner tonight. Everyone worked hard, so pack up, and we’ll go together.”
Sylvia had already booked the best restaurant in the film city.
Although the options were limited, she chose the best one, which won her a lot of goodwill.
In fact, not every film crew booked this restaurant because it was expensive to treat the entire crew there.
Most would choose a more affordable option.
However, splitting the crew into different restaurants felt uncomfortable.
Thus, it was an unwritten rule that if someone was treating, they would choose one of the mid–range places.
The best restaurant thrived on occasional high–spending customers.
Sylvia’s choice made everyone cheer.
Many staff members couldn’t afford to eat there even after working in the film city for a year, so they were genuinely appreciative and forgave her for the seventy retakes.
Davian was surprised that Sylvia booked this place and felt a bit pained.
“Sylvia, your paycheck for this role isn’t that high. Spending like this, you won’t make much,” he said.
Sylvia, not caring about her paycheck, asked, “Davian, do you think my pay is too low?”
