Chapter 5: On Set Shooting
Sienna was dragged all the way to the studio by Floyd, then forcibly pressed to sit on a chair. Floyd instructed her not to run around and then went backstage to shower and change clothes.
Sienna had no friends at the headquarters of the group, and she felt uncomfortable sitting on the chair. Several passing staff members cast curious glances at her, but because she was brought by Floyd, no one came over to ask who she was.
The large-scale drama being filmed this time was the flagship film of the season. Due to the success of the female-oriented film in the previous season, this season continued the same storyline, focusing on several male actors as the main characters.
Based on a modern background close to real life, the film showcased the decadent life of the upper class and the love-hate relationships between generations.
Each male actor's role also included several subplots, leading to multi-threaded filming. The subsidiary company and the headquarters were working together to finish the film before this year's "Golden Melon" film awards ceremony, aiming to compete for the best drama film of the year.
However, Sienna privately felt that they probably wouldn't stand a chance. Although the quality of the male actors was unmatched in the industry, the storyline might not be able to compete with the Sexual Entertainment Group.
Sienna looked around, feeling very bored. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a camera shutter behind her. She thought it might be a female actor shooting a cover, but when she turned around, she saw a man.
A very refined man.
The man had blonde hair, a tall figure, broad shoulders, and long legs. He sat quietly on a single sofa in front of a white backdrop, allowing the photographer to take pictures from various angles.
Although he wasn't smiling, his expression was gentle, as if being in front of the camera was something that truly relaxed him. He was dressed neatly, and Sienna suddenly realized that she hadn't seen anyone dressed so neatly in the studio for a long time. Black fabric covered him from neck to ankle, with only a glimpse of his slender ankles as he moved.
Sienna was almost mesmerized.
The man with blonde hair looked up and met Sienna's gaze, causing her to startle and quickly look away.
Sienna was almost certain that this man was one of the six resident male actors. She had no idea who he was.
Sienna didn't have a habit of collecting films, and she had been working in a remote branch office, so besides being somewhat familiar with Floyd due to a few work interactions, she didn't know much about the other actors.
At that moment, Floyd, dressed in a sharp suit, came out from backstage. He followed Sienna's gaze and felt a bit annoyed. Wasn't that Matthew, the dark horse of the season, who was overshadowing him this quarter?
"Isn't that Matthew? Do you want to get to know him?" Floyd bent down, teasing Sienna in her ear.
"No, I just think he's good-looking." Sienna shook her head.
"Am I ugly then?" Floyd raised an eyebrow.
"No, you have a different kind of charm." Sienna earnestly classified them while looking at Floyd in his suit.
"You're quite the flirt," Floyd chuckled and patted Sienna's head. "If you get bored later, you can go out for a walk. I already have a feeling that this shoot is going to be boring."
"No way, Abigail has a big chest."
"What's the use of being big? They look like inverted cones when lying down. I dare not suck too hard, afraid of being poisoned by the silicone inside."
Sienna chuckled, surprised by how sharp-tongued Floyd could be despite his indifferent appearance.
Just then, Abigail came out after changing clothes. She played the role of a secretary, holding a prop "folder" in her hands.
Sienna had just glanced at the script; it was a scene where the woman seduces the man. To add drama, there was a scene where Abigail drugged Floyd and blindfolded him for some touch-and-feel action. Since it wasn't the main storyline, the director didn't put much effort into it, and the variety was limited, with a runtime of only about twenty minutes.
Floyd adjusted his suit collar, his tall figure standing out even more in the stiff formal wear. Abigail's eyes immediately locked onto Floyd, her gaze seeming too overt, making Floyd uncomfortable. He coldly stared back.
The director clapped his hands, the camera was set up, and the actors were signaled to take their positions. Floyd stepped onto the stage, ready to work.
The preceding scenes progressed quickly. When Floyd finally kissed Abigail, Sienna stood up and left. Although she was also an actress, she had never witnessed a scene being shot so directly before, and it felt strange for a moment. Thinking that there was nothing more to see, she turned to go to her own set to shower and prepare.
She briefly observed the man named Matthew, but to her surprise, he seemed to be there just for a quick cover shoot. In a short few minutes, Matthew had already left, leaving only a photographer packing up.
Yet Matthew's image lingered in Sienna's mind.
Sienna's photography set wasn't far. The headquarters had countless small rooms with vastly different styles prepared for various indoor scenes. Sienna pressed the elevator button and went straight to her floor, unaware of what was happening in the room behind her.
The photographer adjusted the equipment, slowly setting up the shooting angle.
"Oh, it's so big, it feels so good." Abigail enthusiastically exclaimed, but Floyd seemed distracted. When Floyd saw Sienna leaving, he felt somewhat uneasy. This unease manifested in his actions, unintentionally using more force, causing Abigail to soften and climax on the office desk with a scream.
After Abigail climaxed, she was in a daze, her eyes unfocused and her body almost melting. Usually, some care would be given to the female actor during such moments, pausing the shoot to let the actress catch her breath.
The photographer gestured that the shoot was over, and Floyd immediately moved to withdraw. However, Abigail, still not fully aware, instinctively wrapped her legs around Floyd's waist and moaned involuntarily, "Don't pull out, it feels so good."
Floyd remained unmoved, directly pushing Abigail's legs aside and coldly saying, "The shoot is paused, take a break."
He pulled away and casually discarded the condom, not even sparing a glance at Abigail.
For some reason, once Sienna left, Floyd felt like most of the enjoyment in his work had dissipated.
