Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Portia finished a day of filming.

Much smoother than yesterday.

She seems to be getting into the mood more easily.

But as soon as she got into the mood, all her shots were completed.

Portia rested on the set and watched other actors filming.

The main thing is to have a learning attitude.

Portia's acting skills and abilities are at a new low for the entire cast.

This is a recognized fact.

But who allowed her to have James as her backer.

In fact, Portia didn't even know it.

James is considered her supporter.

In the past two days, there were rumors on the set that Portia had slept with James.

Portia knew it was a rumor.

But there was nothing she could do about it.

No one would believe her even if she explained.

She also knew who spread the rumor.

Nothing less than Anlisa’s masterpiece.

Snapped--

At this moment, Portia was tapped heavily on the shoulder.

Portia was originally watching the shooting in front of her, but she was caught off guard and was photographed, which almost frightened her.

"Hey, Portia, you're actually here."

Portia turned around and realized it was Gaia.

"Gaia...why are you here?"

"I should be asking you this, right? Why did you come here? Did Chen send you to feel uncomfortable?" Gaia asked doubtfully.

At this time, Anlisa saw Gaia's face, and immediately went up and said: "Portia, you brought irrelevant people to the crew again, and you are still here to disturb the filming progress. Do you really think that no one cares about it?" Got you?"

Anlisa deliberately raised her voice, as if she was afraid that the crew wouldn't know.

Portia suppressed her blush and whispered: "Gaia, let's go and talk over there."

"You go over first, I have something to do." Gaia said.

"Is something wrong?"

"You don't think I'm here to find you, do you?"

"Forehead……"

Gaia glanced at Anlisa: "Who is this idiot woman?"

"Who are you calling an idiot woman? Do you know where this place is?" Anlisa's tone was higher.

She really affected the filming schedule this time.

"Hey, let's take a ten-minute break." James stood up from the director's chair and walked over.

"Hello, Miss Gaia, you are here."

"Hello, Mr. James." Gaia went up and shook hands with James.

Gaia and James are not familiar with each other. When filming "Kidnapping", James came over to help shoot several scenes, including Gaia's shots. In addition, Gaia was the action director of "Kidnapping", so they also had through communication.

This time James also needs some support in action. He had a very good impression of Gaia before.

Gaia is a very thoughtful person when it comes to action guidance.

That's why I asked for Gaia's contact information through Steven.

Anlisa's face couldn't help but change when she saw that Gaia actually knew James, and that it was James who called her here.

Portia was also a little surprised that Gaia actually knew James.

"Miss Gaia is the action director I hired. Your name is Anlisa, right? You'd better keep a low profile on the set. Don't think that I don't know about your little moves on the set." James glanced at Anlisa. .

Just because he didn't bother to ask about Anlisa's little actions didn't mean that he didn't know about it at all.

James has been an assistant director for more than 20 years, and he knows all about the dirty work within a crew.

If it weren't for the overall situation, he would even want to drive Anlisa away directly.

James would rather be a low-key actor like Portia, who knows nothing.

It's not a woman like Anlisa, who has a little qualification but is lawless in the crew.

Gaia came here purely for the sake of friendship.

No payment was made, it was completely voluntary.

Who is Gaia?

She may not have had any fame in the past.

But she is not completely unknown now.

"Kidnapped" is a box office record crusher.

One box office record after another was shattered.

For example, yesterday's first-day box office, "Kidnapping" has already broken the first-day box office.

It has reached 150 million US dollars, and the ratings of "Kidnapping" on major media platforms are also high.

Now no one can guess where "Kidnapping" will end.

Several movies have quietly revised their release schedules.

It’s all about avoiding the edge of “Kidnapping.”

Gaia, as an important role and action director, also received a lot of attention.

To put it bluntly, Gaia's current status is higher than most of the actors in this crew.

"Gaia, I'm sorry for the offense I just caused to the cast and crew."

Gaia shrugged: "It's okay, let's talk about the shooting issues."

"Portia, I'm going over first. We'll talk when we have time."

"Oh okay..." Portia nodded dully.

After James and Gaia left, Portia looked at Anlisa mockingly.

As much as you dance happily, you won’t be the one who suffers in the end.

Anlisa was even more furious.

She found that she always suffered a disadvantage in front of Portia.

It seems that from the day of the audition, he has been unable to take advantage of Portia.

Portia did not leave, but stayed on the set.

Only then did she learn that Gaia was the action director invited by James.

Their movie "Apocalypse" is not an action movie, so they did not specifically invite an action director.

Gaia's work content is not much, just a few ordinary fighting scenes.

Portia waited until the crew finished work and then approached Gaia.

"Gaia, let's have dinner together."

"Yeah, okay." Gaia nodded: "By the way, do you want to go see the movie I participated in?"

"Okay." Since Gaia took the initiative to invite, Portia certainly wouldn't refuse.

In fact, she also wanted to see what movies Gaia was involved in.

But she also knew that all the movies released at the same time as "Kidnapping" had become cannon fodder.

The box office of movies released in the week before "Kidnapping" all halved and then halved again, with single-day box office sales falling by more than 80%.

If it were a small, unknown production, the end would be even more tragic.

Maybe it won’t even reach a single-day box office of $100,000.

You may even not be able to get the film.

This is the scary thing about "Kidnapping".

The media is all singing its praises, and even its competitors at the box office have stopped showing up.

Now is the time when Steven is in the spotlight, and no one wants to be at odds with Steven.

Even the Big Six in Hollywood want to work with Steven.

Although they are sniping at Steven's movie, it does not mean that they are enemies.

It is a Hollywood tradition to snipe other movies. After all, everyone is in the same industry, and they also want to prevent Steven's studio from becoming bigger.
