Chapter 356 - 222: Henry Chapman to the Rescue, Luna Durant Stirs Up Trouble

"Ah, we’re still missing an actor..."

Katherine Collins leaned back against the wall, feeling a bit of a headache.

The actors were all contacted in advance, not something that could be found just like that.

Moreover, even if she could find an actor from Anchel nearby, it would take at least two hours to get from Anchel to Greenhill Town... either way, time would definitely be delayed.

Among the remaining staff, there wasn’t a suitable candidate either.

You couldn’t even find someone to "make up the numbers."

With one hand in her pocket, Nora Scott said leisurely, "I do have an actor here, he can make up the numbers."

"Oh? Is he in Greenhill Town?"

Katherine Collins straightened up, suddenly energized.

Glancing at the time, Nora Scott said, "He should arrive around eight o’clock."

She had booked the earliest bus for Henry Chapman, and he had already set off by now. The filming location was close to the bus station, so Henry Chapman could make it.

Although, Henry Chapman catching an early bus would surely display a grumpy face all morning due to lack of sleep.

But that’s not something she needed to worry about.

"Then there’s still time." Katherine Collins beamed with joy, "Who is he, does he look very different from the character, how’s his acting?"

"Henry Chapman."

Nora Scott said just two words.

Those two words meant that there wouldn’t be any problems with "character likeness" and "acting skills."

"..."

Katherine Collins didn’t say anything, her eyes wide open, a bit incredulous.

Oh...

Actually, she had seen several Film Kings and even worked with them.

But this Actor Chapman, with his unique style, wasn’t someone you would often get a chance to see unless you were in the same crew, let alone work with him.

Even though she had a husband in the entertainment company and a childhood friend also in the entertainment company, plus a good reputation in the circle, yet—

Katherine Collins had never met Henry Chapman.

Not even once.

*

The news of Henry Chapman’s arrival instantly dissipated Katherine Collins’s bad mood influenced by José.

She busied herself around.

She notified the staff staying in nearby hotels, then drove a rented car with Nora Scott and two others to the filming location first.

The costumes, props, and other items were all prepared by Katherine Collins the previous day. Upon arrival, she handed clothing to Nora Scott to change into and then had her put on makeup.

She played multiple roles: makeup artist, props master, photographer, lighting director... she could dabble in everything and do anything.

However, her body wasn’t allowing her to do much now; after working for a bit, she was covered in sweat and had to rest on the sofa in the makeup room, while staring blankly at Nora Scott putting on makeup.

"What’s wrong?"

Feeling her gaze for a while, Nora Scott suddenly asked.

Katherine Collins grinned, "Nothing, I just like your looks..."

Just about to praise her, Katherine Collins heard her phone vibrate, picked it up, "The other lead’s here, I’ll go get him!"

"Okay."

No sooner had Nora Scott uttered a syllable than Katherine Collins had already dashed out the door.

Nora Scott: "..."

The makeup artist next to her chuckled, "Mr. Collins is meticulous and considerate, and she’s capable, but because she’s young and married well, others assume she’s relying on her background. When seeking other investors, no one believed in her abilities, didn’t believe she could film well. And the documentary type she chose had no market."

"Oh."

That’s understandable.

Young, with little experience. — A consensus in most people’s eyes.

When she ventured into the Martial World a few years ago, she often received "unfair treatment" due to her young age, so she had a slightly harsh approach.

— As for her current reputation in the industry, it’s hard to say if it’s good or bad.

The actor playing the King was a young man in his thirties, reportedly a local from Anchel, who acted in stage plays.

He didn’t say much. After being led in and greeting Nora Scott, he quietly went to get his styling done.

It was just past eight.

Nora Scott had just finished her styling when she received a call from Henry Chapman.

"Arrived."

Henry Chapman, severely sleep-deprived, uttered just two words gloomily.

Nora Scott stood up, "I’ll come get you."

"Back door."

As soon as he finished speaking, Henry Chapman hung up the phone.

Although his personal image was quite different from his screen persona, you couldn’t resist the fact that his popularity was so high that the chances of being recognized in crowded places were significant, so he habitually avoided crowds to prevent unnecessary trouble.

Nora Scott asked for the location of the back door, then carried her phone to pick him up.

Unexpectedly—

She stumbled upon the recording of "Searching for the City’s Secret."

Katherine Collins had contacts in that show’s crew, and it was said that this episode would be recorded over several days in Greenhill Town, with both indoor and outdoor parts.
