The Acting Chief Director
Right now, the whole crew was in a state of total mess.
Everyone knew that losing Francis even for a few days would be a heavy blow.
They wouldn't be able to fully function without a chief director.
Meanwhile, thanks to the emergency treatment that the doctor had applied to Francis, he was still able
to barely keep his consciousness.
As the medical staff prepared to transfer Francis to the ambulance, Jeremy finally asked the question
that everyone was concerned about.
Although he knew that Francis’ health was of utmost concern, this matter needed to be settled as well.
"Francis, the doctor said you have to rest for at least five days while undergoing treatment.That means
you can't work during that time.The filming still needs to proceed.Who do you think can take over your
job while you're away?"
It was a very crucial decision.
Who would become the acting chief director? Hearing this, the surrounding actors and actresses could
not help but look at some of the more obvious choices.
The assistant director, the action director, Jay, and even Jeremy had the background and skills to
somehow fill the said role.
However, both the action director and the assistant director took the initiative to say that they couldn't
do it.
After all, the show only started shooting for about a week.
They hadn't thoroughly studied the script, so they could only assist the chief director.
But being the one solely in charge was out of the question.
Although Jeremy had a great reputation for directing films in the past, it had been so long since he
personally handled this role.
When the business started to take off and several big directors like Francis joined the company, he had
mostly been in charge of growing the business.
Hence, he had to admit that he was already rusty when it came to directing.
"Maybe I can try..."
Without anyone stepping up for the job, Jay frowned and hesitantly offered to take on the task.
Although he had always been responsible, he also had a clear estimation of himself.
Directing such a big-budgeted series like the Legend of Anne, even Jay, who was known as a top talent
in the entertainment industry, didn't have enough confidence to properly fulfill this important role.
Francis was already mounted inside the ambulance, lying down on a gurney.
But after hearing Jeremy's question, he slowly stretched out his right hand and pointed in a certain
direction.
Looking where Francis was pointing his finger, Jeremy and the others saw Lyndsey and Maria standing
there.
"She...She can do it."
Although his voice was weak and low, everyone heard what he said.
Of the two people standing there, everyone thought of the obvious.
Francis must have been thinking that Lyndsey could become the acting chief director.
No one seemed to have a problem with it, thinking that Lyndsey could make it work.
After all, Lyndsey graduated from the best film and television school in the country.
Aside from earning a double degree in filming and performance, she had also won a full scholarship.
When she made her debut, her acting career easily advanced by leaps and bounds and had become
one of the most popular actresses both at home and abroad in no time.
If there was going to be an issue, it was that Lyndsey had yet to personally direct any shows or films.
For that reason, no one actually knew her capacity for directing.
Now, as everyone looked at her under the assumption that she was the one Francis was endorsing,
they were utterly surprised by what she did.
All of a sudden, Lyndsey playfully stuck out her tongue and hopped aside.
At this point, they couldn't help but furrow their brows when they noticed that Francis still pointed in that
direction.
Of course, in their disbelief, everyone fixed their eyes on Maria.
Maria? She was going to be the acting chief director? Was Francis serious? "I see."
While everyone was still in daze, wondering if this was really happening, Jeremy nodded seriously.
From his expression, there was no doubt that he and Francis understood each other.
At this time, Francis, who was still having a hard time breathing because of his allergy, was able to
somehow heave a sigh of relief.
He lay down on the stretcher much more comfortably and was quickly sent to the hospital by the
ambulance.
"Everyone, listen up.Due to Mr.Jackson's absence, Maria Jenkins, the script supervisor, shall
temporarily serve as the chief director until Mr.Jackson is discharged from the hospital," Jeremy
announced firmly and loudly.
As expected, the crew burst into an uproar.
Most of them were convinced that Maria was just beauty and no brains.
Therefore, they couldn't fathom how she could even lead the crew as the acting chief director.
What did they see in Maria for them to entrust her such a crucial role? However, despite their
reluctance and inward protest, Jeremy had already made the final decision.
At the end of the day, they were just employees, and they wouldn't dare have any objection with what
the boss had decided.
In fact, maybe Jay and Lyndsey were the only ones qualified to express their disagreement.
Therefore, the actors and actresses turned to the duo, hoping that they could persuade Jeremy to
change his mind.
Otherwise, The Legend of Anne was basically doomed.
"Isn't that great?! Maria, I'll be sure to cooperate with you!"
Unexpectedly, Lyndsey cheerfully approved Maria's appointment as the acting chief director.
She even held the latter's arm with a flattering smile on her face.It was not until they saw it with their
own eyes that the crew recalled the rumor about Lyndsey sucking up to Maria.
It turned out that it wasn't just a mere rumor.
But the big question was still left unanswered —why? Jay was one of the most dissatisfied people
regarding Jeremy's decision.
However, as a well-educated man, he knew his place and didn't dare speak out against his boss.
Instead, he quietly walked towards Maria and whispered, "It's not easy to be chief director.I assume
you know that.Now, if you yourself know that you aren't capable or qualified for this task, I advise you to
refuse politely before it's too late.Every member of this crew is putting their painstaking efforts into the
show.I hope you don't treat this as agame."
