Chapter 679
Estelle nodded, 1 can give it a try
“No way!” Mayfield frowned and scolded, “Didn’t Mr. Malcom tell you that the scene requires you to jump off from the second floor? You’re just a little girl, what are you thinking? Go back to work!”
Estelle remained calm, 1 made a deal with Mr. Malcom and I really can give it a try!”
Mayfield’s eyebrows furrowed even more, Think about it, jumping off the second floor, even with cushions below, it’s not a joke. It’s easy to get injured, and because of the action involved. you can’t use wires‘
Estelle’s eyes were clear, “Yes, Mr Malcom has already told me
Mayfield hesitated, ‘Do you know the skills?”

This scene had indeed taken a lot of time, and Mayfield was getting anxious. Seeing that Estelle was confident and couldn’t find a better stand– in, he let her try.
The makeup artist took Estelle to get her makeup and costume done.
Soon, Estelle came back. She was about the same height as Nanette, and with the costume on, she indeed looked more like the character than the male stand–ins.
The action instructor came over and explained the scene and actions to Estelle.
Nanette’s character, a special agent, discovers the identity of a spy, follows him, and then jumps off the second–floor balcony with one hand on the railing, firing a gun at the fleeing spy
Of course, at that point, the real spy would be replaced by a prop, and the shot effects would be added in post–production. All Estelle had to do was the action.
Estelle listened carefully, and after hearing it once, nodded, “Okay I got it!”
The action instructor saw that Estelle was like a student, with a good attitude, but clearly naive and fearless
He knew she probably wouldn’t get in one go, so he didn’t say much and let her try
Nanette knew that Estelle was her stand–in and looked at her with cold eyes
She’d rather do the stand–in job than work as her assistant, huh? Let her fall to her death here!
Estelle went upstairs, hid behind a door, and all departments were ready to shoot
Malcom was watching the second floor with unwavering eyes, more nervous than anyone else. He really liked this girl, please no accidents!
Craig heard the news and hurried over, looking up worriedly but also a bit excited when he recalled Estelle’s action in the previous fight.
He was confident in her, just hoping she wouldn’t get hurt.

Hallie scoffed. Does Estelle want to be an actress?”
Yvonne smirked. “She’s pretty, and if she seizes the opportunity, maybe Mr. Mayfield will take notice.”
Hattie raised an eyebrow, Well, she’s good at seizing opportunities, even daring to be a stand–in. She’s got guts!”
Yvonne knew Estelle did know some martial arts but didn’t say anything, just looked up at her.
Mayfield looked at the screen and gave a gesture to start.
Estelle, wearing a black mask on her face, emerged from the second–floor door, propped herself up with one arm on the railing, and jumped off gracefully. Her body was light, landing silently She looked up and saw the man she was chasing about to turn into an alley, fired a shot, and leaped after him
The whole process was smooth and seamless, and all the actions were natural and fluid because they were real. Mayfield forgot to call “Cut” until Estelle stopped, turned her head, and looked at him with a puzzled expression
Mayfield finally came back to his senses and shouted, “Cut”
