Chapter 359: Chapter 222: Henry Chapman to the Rescue, Luna Causes Trouble (Part 4)
"Are you very familiar with him?"
"Not really."
"Has he accepted any new scripts recently?" Katherine Collins asked curiously.
Nora Scott thought for a moment, then mentioned to Katherine about the series Henry Chapman was about to film, where each episode was a standalone story, and casually revealed she would also be participating.
When it came up that Henry Chapman was teaching Nora Scott how to act, Katherine Collins suddenly turned serious and observed Nora closely.
After a moment, Katherine said earnestly, "Actor Chapman can’t teach you anything."
"Huh?"
"He’s the type who is naturally gifted at acting. He gets a role, studies it a bit, and just immerses himself naturally without any technique," Katherine said regretfully, shaking her head at Nora, "You can’t do it, you need skills and experience."
Nora Scott: "..."
Oh, she’s someone without talent.
Switching the subject, Katherine continued, "But he does have techniques, like blocking, pronunciation, and expression. He has mastered the basics. If you follow him, you can learn these things."
Nora nodded slightly, showing she got the point.
...
Before noon, they began filming the scenes of the King and Queen.
Before shooting started, Henry Chapman, who didn’t have a part, somehow found a chair and comfortably positioned himself near the monitor, scaring everyone except Katherine Collins into standing farther away.
Behind the monitor, Katherine supported her chin with her hands, staring intently at the screen. When Nora Scott and the King appeared, she even held her breath.
– Mainly because they were stunning.
The most beautiful woman in a costume drama, truly well-deserved.
This morning, thanks to the presence of Nora Scott and Henry Chapman, all the staff were full of energy.
For Henry Chapman, it was admiration for a great talent.
For Nora Scott, it was... purely amazing to behold.
"Did you teach her?"
As the scene neared its end, Henry Chapman, who had been sitting quietly nearby, suddenly spoke.
"Yes." Katherine nodded, "She has a strong presence, quite close to the Queen’s role. Her character is set as someone from a martial arts family background, just lacking the ’grace of a queen’. That’s why I emphasized it to her..."
After explaining, Katherine blinked and asked Henry, "How was it?"
"Hmm."
Without much comment, Henry merely uttered one word, indicating approval.
And that single word made Katherine beam with joy.
For an acting fanatic like Henry Chapman, if Nora’s performance had any flaws, he would definitely point them out. But since even he gave his approval—
Nora Scott could finally "restore her reputation"!

Evening Street.
This is a relatively unique street in town, not as busy as the tourist-frequented ones, and because of the rain, there were barely any pedestrians.
This street is known for a variety of food stalls, with some stores featuring local specialties, like those selling souvenir puppets and shadow puppetry, as well as clay sculptures and paper cuts, full of artistic flair.
"Searching for the City’s Secret" is currently being filmed on this street.
The current segment requires each guest to act independently, following clues received at task points to find matching shops and then complete designated tasks in the shop.
Luna Durant’s task is to make a snack.
As a lady from the Durant Family who never touched any household chores, Luna Durant had nearly zero experience in the kitchen. With the help of the chefs, she barely completed the initial preparations, and when she picked up the frying part, she directly tossed the items inside out of fear of oil splattering, causing oil to splash everywhere.
Luna Durant did not expect such a powerful impact, getting splashed with several oil spots.
The chefs and staff stood there, stunned.
They immediately paused filming to perform emergency treatment, checking Luna Durant’s injuries, and only when they determined she was fine did everyone relax slightly.
Luna Durant, having brought this upon herself, though inwardly blaming the show for its ridiculous task demands, couldn’t say much and after applying ointment, requested a break citing "shock."
Almost causing an accident made the show’s team jittery, and with the director’s approval, they agreed.
"Have them edit this part out; it absolutely can’t be broadcast."
As she extended her oil-stained hand for her assistant to apply ointment, Luna Durant frowned and reminded.
"Okay."
The assistant quickly responded, then lowered her eyelids and continued applying the ointment.
"How’s Katherine Collins’ damn production going, did they not film today?" During the wait, Luna Durant suddenly thought of this.
The assistant paused a bit, pursed her lips, and did not immediately reply.
Sensing something was amiss, Luna Durant instantly frowned, "What?"
"I heard they found a new actor to replace." The assistant lowered her eyes and said cautiously.
"Heard?"
"I’ve been following the show’s team..."
As Luna Durant’s assistant, during filming, she was always with the team to respond to any of Luna Durant’s needs.
She couldn’t be in two places at once and couldn’t keep track of Katherine Collins’ situation.
"Who did you hear it from?" Luna Durant asked, displeased.
"The news came from Isabella Hart." The assistant said in a low voice, "It’s said that she met Nora Scott while coming to Evening Street, right as Nora was bringing in a new actor."
"You don’t have to follow me in the afternoon, go and see who’s bold enough to take on this mess."
After instructing, Luna Durant snorted coldly, "Also, check their filming locations for the next few days, let’s see what they’re up to."
"Yes."
The assistant promptly nodded.
Unlike with a purely business relationship manager, Luna Durant’s assistant was cultivated by the Durant Family. Since Luna started her career, this assistant had always been taking care of her, handling many things for Luna Durant.
