Chapter 148
Carlos fired up the computer next to him, and spotted a contract from ForgeFire Games. When he saw
the investment amount on the contract, his eyes lit up, “Chad, we’re stoked to cooperate with your
company, you can send someone over to sign the contract immediately.”
Chad replied, “Our branch office employees are already on their way!”
“Branch office?” Carlos asked surprised, “Can someone from the branch office sign this contract?”
Chad explained, “Investing in your movie is just a kind of entertainment for our CEO. This kind of small
investment of tens of
millions can be signed by people in the branch. I have a meeting. I wish you a happy cooperation.
Goodbye.”
Actually, the investment decision was all Chad’s call, because the Chief couldn’t be bothered with

He knew, any movie with the Chief in it was bound to be a hit, and he could make a tidy profit off of it.
“I…” Carlos was cut off mid–sentence, Chad had already hung up.
A few tens of millions is small change?
Although Carlos saw the investment news on ForgeFire Games’s official Twitter, he still had his doubts.
Was this investment just falling out of the sky?
With a skeptical mind, Carlos called for a break on set, planning to wait a few hours.
Three hours later, the branch office staff arrived on set, signing the investment contract with Carlos.
When Helena heard big shots were coming, she immediately prepared to greet them. Upon seeing the
branch office’s boss, she enthusiastically greeted, “Oh my, Mr. Hector, I heard you were coming, I
couldn’t believe it. Are you here to invest in Mr. Carlos’s movie?”
Mr. Hector and Helena knew each other from before; Helena had tried to become a spokeswoman for
Forge Fire Games, but failed due to image issues.
Mr. Hector looked at the woman in front of him, chuckled and said, “Yes, I’m here to invest in this
movie, and to pay a visit to the,
set.”
“Visiting class?” Helena smiled and said, “Are you here to see me?”
“That’s none of your business.” After Mr. Hector finished speaking, then politely nodded to Carlos and
left.
Helena stomped her foot in frustration, cursing as she left.
In the afternoon, they continued shooting the scene from the morning.
The set was ready, everyone was waiting for Helena, but she was still sleeping, taking forever to arrive.
And she wasn’t even in costume when she did.
Carlos was fuming when he saw her, “Helena, didn’t we agree to start shooting at 2:30? Everyone’s
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbeen waiting for you, you’re not even picking up your phone, it’s 3:30 now!”
Helena yawned, and arrogantly said, “Director, I can’t play this scene, I need a stand–in.”
“And from now on, I need a stand–in for sunbathing scenes, I am afraid of getting sunburned.”
“I also need a stand–in for water scenes, the water is too dirty.”
“Oh, and scenes where it’s windy outside, I’d rather shoot them indoors. After shooting, you can cut out
the image and give it to the post–production team. That’s all I can think of for now, if you have any
issues, you can talk to Mr. Dalton about it.”
Helena sat leisurely, legs crossed, holding a cigarette in her hand, “I’ve already arranged for the stand–
in, you guys can take your time shooting. I didn’t get a good night’s sleep last night, I need to go back
and catch up on some z’s.”
With that, Helena got up and left, completely disregarding the director.
Carlos was getting increasingly dissatisfied with Helena’s behavior, so he said, “Helena, you want to
use a stand–in for all your scenes, yet you still want the pay of the second lead. Do you really think
there is such a good thing in the world?”
