Chapter 27: Will I give up?
-Look at this crappy design, so cheesy and inferior. Is your professional ability so mediocre?
-And this design is already outdated. Do you know it or not?
-This dress appeared in another movie, do I have to wear it again for my job?
On the set, the director's angry voice came from time to time from the dressing room.
Mariana looked at the clothes scattered on the floor and didn't know what to say for a moment.
He had worked tirelessly, night and day, to design these dresses, but the director was not satisfied,
saying that the design of these clothes was too old-fashioned.
"What is the key problem?"
-What about this dress? What do you think?
Mariana pulled out another dress, but the director didn't even look at it and threw it on the floor.
-I paid you so much money and your team gives me such a mediocre design? With such a tight
schedule for shooting the film, can you afford to waste so much of my time? If you're not up to the job,
get off the set as soon as possible.
The director cursed, without giving Mariana any opportunity to refute in the slightest.
The whole set instantly fell silent. Everyone was looking at Mariana. So many people were staring at
her, she felt very embarrassed.
She clenched her hands and trembled slightly, trying to suppress the emotion of wanting to be angry.
-Director, don't get angry. Please give Miss Ortiz another chance.
At that moment, Andrea said with mock concern, but a flash of pleasure shone in her eyes, which
disappeared in an instant.
-After all, Ms. Ortiz was appointed directly by the company, and her superiors probably don't know
much about her strengths.
Andrea murmured quietly in the director's ear. Mariana couldn't hear what they were talking about, but
it couldn't be good.
-Mariana, don't think I'm going to be afraid of you just because the company backs you. I'm warning
you that if you delay the shoot, I can still kick you off the set!
The director's meaning was quite clear: Mariana had some protection in the company that helped her
to work on the set.
-Ugh, I thought this Mariana was an expert in design, but it seems she's not. Turns out she relies on the
company's personal relationships to get on our set.
-When she first showed up on the set, Ms. Solis said she was very professional, but now it seems it's
all a lie.
-I've never heard of her before, turns out she's just a clown who relies on her personal contacts.
-That's right, look at these dresses she has designed, with a very cheesy style. She has delayed us for
a long time and we haven't even started the test shoot yet.
Crew personnel were talking outside the door. With so much commotion inside, anyone could sense
the seriousness of the matter.
In the room.
Mariana lowered her head and said nothing.
His body was shaking and he didn't know what to do.
He admitted that his work was not very creative, but at least it was not as bad as this director had said.
Did she rely on her contacts to get on the set? Only she knew that she herself had nothing and nothing.
"Should I give up?"
Mariana asked herself.
"No, I can't give up that easily. At this point, there's no way I can give up. I have to prove to all those
people that I'm a professional in the costume design field and that I haven't taken advantage of any
relationships to work on set."
-I don't have any backing in the company, I'm just an ordinary designer. Director, I'm sorry for wasting a
lot of the team's time this time.
-Can you give me another chance? Give me a few more days and I will give you a satisfactory answer.
Mariana took a deep breath, slowly raised her head and met the director's eyes, saying firmly and
incomparably.
-I've given you enough time.
The director did not want to accept his request:
-Maybe I can look for a more professional designer.
Hearing these words, Mariana did not give up and continued to insist:
-Mr. Director, please give me another chance. In three days, I will give you a satisfactory answer.
Please believe me.
"I can't let this opportunity slip away."
Andrea secretly rolled her eyes, finally seeing Mariana's miserable side.
"Look at his poor appearance. He was really humble."
A flash of cruelty flashed through Andrea's eyes.
"Why didn't I use all my strength to push her the last time? It would have been better to let her stay in
the hospital for six months."
After a while, the director nodded. Shooting would start very soon and he didn't have time to find
another professional designer, so he decided to give her another chance.
-Three days, I only give you three days, if your design is still as mediocre as it is now, you will leave the
set immediately! -The director waved his hand, turned around and left.
-Mari, you can definitely do it, I believe in you," Ana held her best friend's hand tightly and encouraged
her.
-This director has gone too far, and that Andrea was just spouting nonsense. In my opinion, she's the
one taking advantage of the endorsement to get the lead role!
Thinking about Andrea's smug and arrogant look a moment ago, Ana became even angrier. Wasn't
what she said to the director like adding fuel to the fire!
-It's okay, maybe my work is still not creative enough," Mariana said wearily.
Her pale face had not a trace of blood on it, and she really wanted to get some rest.
Off to the side, Andrea clenched her fists tightly, she was very unhappy that she had not managed to
kick Mariana off the set today. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
"But that's okay - as long as she stays on the set one day, I'll have ways of ruining that bitch Mariana's
reputation!"
In the evening, Mariana returned home tired.
She returned to the small studio. These days she spent almost every night in this small room, and
Leopoldo did not return.
In three days she would have to deliver a satisfactory paper to the director, which was a great
challenge for her.
Mariana lightly squeezed her temples and closed her eyes to rest for a while.
A moment later, he opened his eyes, reopened the book, and resumed his design work.
Inspiration always came at night, but for her it was not easy.
