Chapter 59: This Is Ridiculous
As Cathryn watched her awestruck admiration show on her face, she then Cathryn started to think about Keith and how much she missed him. A flash of excitement shocked her body.
All the cast and staff of the film crew joined a group chat, and all the notifications were to be sent directly to their phones. After Cathryn joined the group chat, one of the staff members sent a message to only Cathryn.
"We'll gather at the hotel gate at seven o'clock tomorrow morning and then go by bus to the filming site, do not be late."
As soon as Cathryn received the message, she immediately became excited. After sending a reply, Cathryn read the screenplay nervously for a long time and fell asleep with the screenplay in her arms. The next day, the alarm went off at six o'clock, Cathryn immediately got up and went to the bathroom to vomit.
She knew they would be taking the bus to the filming site, so Cathryn only ate a piece of dry bread for breakfast. She didn't dare to drink any water. When Cathryn was finished, she went to the bus and waited for the others to arrive.
Just as Cathryn had gotten on the bus, her cell phone rang. Taking out the phone, Cathryn noticed that it was Keith calling her. She was getting used to his morning greetings. Even though there were so many people that took care of her on Flower Island, Keith still insisted on calling her after she woke up every day.
What Cathryn was unaware of is that the expression on her face when she talked to Keith on the phone was the same as Alice's when she called her boyfriend.
When Jordan got on the bus, he saw Cathryn, her eyes were sparkling with happiness. She was sweetly telling the person on the other end of the phone about what she was going to shoot today. She was full of excitement and indescribable charm.
Sensing that someone was looking at her, Cathryn looked up and found it was Jordan. The smile instantly fled from her face. She turned her head around so she wouldn't have to look at him. Cathryn became cautious and lowered her voice.
Jordan's eyes were dark pits, and she thought she could see the deep, magmatic anger buried behind them. Jason, who walked behind Jordan, hastened to talk with Jordan and discreetly shoved him to take a seat at the back of the bus.
After arriving at the filming site, the film crew took a short break and then started working. The first scene that needed to be shot today was Cathryn's part. She went to greet Sampson before the filming began, and Sampson nodded with a smile.
In The Alert movie, Cathryn played the poor, rural cousin of the heroine, who was lazy and unwilling to learn. The heroine was a white-collar worker in a big city and arranged a job for her cousin.
This scene was filmed to coincide with when she got off the couch and took the bus to visit the heroine. While reading the screenplay, Cathryn thought this scene was a bit meaningless. As a cameo role, her most important part was arguing with the conductor on the bus.
'This is ridiculous,' thought Cathryn. However, she had to act according to the screenplay. As long as she acted as the rude, unreasonable, selfish, and greedy personality of the heroine's cousin, this scene could almost pass.
After getting changed and putting on her makeup, Cathryn waited on a dusty sidewalk for the bus.
Nearby, the director called out instructions through a megaphone. Because the bus was driving from the coach station to the city center, there were a lot of people waiting outside the bus.
Cathryn stood in the middle of a crowd waiting for the bus driver to open the door. Surrounded by the people, Cathryn carefully protected her belly and waited for the filming to start.
When everything was ready, Sampson sat behind the camera and shouted, "Action!"
As soon as the door of the bus opened, Cathryn tried her best to squeeze in. The conductor was a woman in her early forties and had on white gloves. She was kind and patiently directed everyone to get on the bus in an orderly manner.
Seeing Cathryn was delicate and weak, the female conductor told the people behind Cathryn not to push and then reached out to pull Cathryn up.
Cathryn didn't even say thank you to the conductor. Instead, she quickly found an empty seat and sat down. After finishing this scene, more than half of the people in front of the bus sat down in their seats, and the lens was focused on Cathryn. 'I hate being this person! I really don't like being impolite and rude,' thought Cathryn.
Cathryn's camera was aimed at a woman standing beside her. The lady was holding a baby who was about seven or eight months old in her arms. She had so many things to carry, so she didn't have a free hand to grab the railing.
The conductor came over to Cathryn and looked at her. Then, trying to be as polite as possible, she said, "Would you mind giving your seat to this lady, Miss?"
"There are many other seats at the back. That woman and her baby can go sit over there. Or why don't you ask someone else to give up their seat?" Cathryn points at all the other people sitting on the bus. "Why don't you just mind your own business, bitch!" Cathryn said rudely. She quickly turned her head around, unwilling to talk to the conductor anymore.
The smile fled from the conductor's face. "Hey! You can refuse my request, but how dare you call me names?" said the conductor.
Then, ignoring the conductor totally, she took out her cell phone. Shortly after, a man, who was sitting in the back of the bus, took the initiative to offer his seat to the woman. Then the conductor came over to Cathryn again, and because of her professional manner, she asked, "Could you please pay for your ticket, Miss?"
Cathryn took out a large bill from her purse and calmly handed it to the conductor without raising her head. Unfortunately, having such a large bill, the conductor didn't have enough change to give back to her. So the conductor asked, "Do you have any smaller bills, Miss?"
