Chapter 283 Watching People Shoot a Horror Movie
Hollywood was in Luke and Selina’s area, but they rarely dropped by.
Mostly, it was because Luke had been on too many vacations or work trips.
Selina had always dreamed of working in this place.
She was quite keen on meeting celebrities in person.
Very soon, they followed Jennifer’s car to a film set.
With Jennifer’s car leading the way, the guards at the gate simply gave Luke a temporary pass and let him in.
Luke parked the car, but it wasn’t until five minutes later that the star finally got out of her own car.
Luke was confused when he saw Jennifer wearing a hat and a pair of big sunglasses. Nobody can see your makeup at all, and you’ll have to put on makeup again before you start shooting, so what were you doing in your car for the last five minutes?
Of course, he didn’t really intend to ask the silly question out loud.
He simply waited five meters away with Selina for Jennifer to enter the set.
The star, however, waved her hand at Luke, and he had to go over.
He didn’t have a choice. After all, he was being paid.
“Miss Perry, how can I help you?” asked Luke.
Jennifer raised her hand. “Call me Jennifer. You too, Selina. You don’t mind me calling you by your names, do you?” They shook their heads.
“Can you stay by my side later except for when I’m filming?” she asked in an extremely low voice.
Luke and Selina naturally nodded again. It was good to be in closer proximity to Jennifer since their mission was to protect her.
The trickiest mission was trying to protect a client who forbade the guards from remaining close by, in which case the guards might not arrive in time when there was an emergency.

After walking a hundred meters, they entered the set. Selina almost exclaimed in amazement at the scene.
It was a big forest set. At first sight, it was almost like a real forest.
Of course, that was only in Selina’s case. Luke had already detected the smell of modern electronic equipment which didn’t feel like the air of a forest at all the moment he entered.
Also, some fans and unknown equipment nearby were humming softly, so the place wasn’t half as quiet as a real forest would be.
Quite a few people greeted Jennifer when she entered.
Jennifer simply nodded and barely said anything back to them.
When she reached a camera, two men raised their heads from where they were sitting and looked at her. “Jenny, you’re here.”
“Hey, Jenny. Do you feel any better?”
Jennifer nodded at them. “I’m fine now. It was just a little cold.”
The two men suddenly noticed Luke and Selina behind her. One of them, who was slim and had a beard, found it strange. “You changed bodyguards?”
Jennifer chuckled. “They’re only temporary.”
The director was silent for a moment, but he said in a low voice, “Okay, if that’s what you want.”
Luke and Selina clearly saw the director’s face. It was obvious that he too was aware of the rumor that it wasn’t safe in his crew.
Done with making small talk, Jennifer sat down not far away.
Many people immediately surrounded her.
While they put makeup on Jennifer and got her into her costume, an assistant director gave her notes on the scenes to be shot next.
Naturally, the assistant director wasn’t teaching Jennifer how to act. He wasn’t qualified to do so.
He was simply telling her where the cameras would be and how the lights would be arranged so as not to waste Jennifer’s precious time.

Jennifer merely nodded now and then without saying anything. The staff nearby had to cater to her whims, and didn’t dare ask her to be more cooperative at all.
Selina clicked her tongue, amazed by the big star’s demeanor.
Unlike Selina, who was curious about Jennifer, Luke focused on the set.
He didn’t activate Sharp Nose fully, because the place didn’t smell great.
However, there weren’t many dangerous objects here. The only smell of gunpowder was from the props department.
Certain crimson bags didn’t reek of blood, but of ketchup and honey.
This explained why actors in horror movies could run so fast when they were bleeding all over; clearly, their “blood” gave them too much sugar. Since Jennifer was still getting ready, the director shot other scenes first.
It wasn’t because Jennifer wasn’t famous enough, but because the director wanted the other actors to adjust their mindsets first, in case they lost their cool when Jennifer started shooting
Jennifer was only appearing as a guest star in the movie.
The director of this movie was also the one who picked Jennifer as the lead in the movie which made her famous.
So, Jennifer was here to return the favor and take part in the director’s new movie as a guest star without being paid.
Luke knew this partly because Jennifer had told him earlier and partly because he had gotten Selina to look at the file.
It might or might not be very helpful for his temporary bodyguard gig.
In any case, without the information, he would’ve found it hard to understand why Jennifer would star in a low-budget horror flick.
Luke had actually watched the movie which shot Jennifer Perry to fame before. He never thought that he would personally watch her shoot a horror movie one day.
It did feel rather strange.
In a quiet forest, a woman in a thin dress stumbled along and looked back every now and then, fear written all over her face.
As she ran, her breasts almost bounced out of her dress.
Suddenly, her face changed, and she screamed loudly.
