The Son-In-Law Shot to Fame novel Chapter 772

At his words, Evelyn actually put down her fork and dared not eat more.

Having carefully gone through the script Xaiden gave her, she knew the scene involved a few parts where she had to tumble onto the ground. He's right. I might throw up if I get too full.

Meanwhile, Donald did not appear the least bit fazed. As he ate, he said to Xaiden, “You're Mr. Stone, right? I don't know much about making movies. As I recall, however, there are usually stunt doubles for fight scenes. Are you sure about having one of Dragon Fide Corporation's artists perform their own stunts?”

Xaiden snorted coldly. “Who does Evelyn think she is? Why would she expect to have a stunt double for these kinds of action scenes? Since you don't know much about moviemaking, you should zip your mouth. Terminate the contract if she doesn't want to do it. There's a steep penalty for terminating the contract, and I'd like to see whether you can cough up that sum.”

Donald knew what he should do after seeing Xaiden behave so arrogantly.

When everyone had finished eating lunch, he asked Nikita to get him a chair. Then, he sat in a corner, ready to spend the afternoon watching Evelyn on set.

The scene was a chance to showcase how deeply infatuated Evelyn's character was. While pursuing the male lead, some thugs hired by another supporting female character would corner her in an alleyway and beat her up.

Evelyn stood in position according to the script. Then, on Xaiden's instructions, three thugs immediately started rushing toward her.

By right, these sorts of action sequences did not involve actual fighting. That was because if the actors got hurt, they would be unable to film anything after that.

Donald noticed that whenever the three thugs were supposed to strike Evelyn's face, they used the film technique of faking it while still making it sound realistic. However, the trio would secretly exert more force when hitting her abdomen or back.

Every time that happened, she would scrunch up her face in pain. Her expressions were not acting but because it actually hurt!

The action sequence ended with the three men pushing Evelyn to the ground. However, there was nothing to cushion her fall when they did so, and they shoved her down just like that.
