Chapter 290 Too Smooth

Having getting along with Eliza for so long, Summer knew who she was.

Eliza was the only child from a very good family.

Perhaps because she knew too much about this industry, she was not assimilated.

Eliza was an upright woman who took her work seriously.

Seeing Eliza believe it, Summer said seriously, "This is unavoidable. Once you enter this industry, you
will have to stand in front of the public and let them judge."

Eliza did not try to persuade her, "Alright, it's good that you know."

Lost City began shooting on August 6.

It was still very hot in August.

For convenience, Summer wore a plain shirt and black trousers instead of skirt.

She was beautiful even without wearing make-up, and the simple black-and-white outfit made her very
attractive.

She and Eliza agreed to meet at the downtown and then went to the shooting place together.

Eliza shook her head and said, "Though you are no longer one of the Emersons, you don't have to
abandon yourself like this. You came out without makeup? Can you show a little respect to our crew?"

"I'm wearing light makeup." Summer explained as she pulled open the door and sat inside.

She was wearing makeup, but it was thin and simple.

She just drew on her eyebrows and put on some lipstick.



"Even without makeup, you're going to beat our heroine." Eliza was teasing her.

Summer smiled and did not say anything.

The opening ceremony was held at the first location, an abandoned high school in the old city site.

It took about an hour to drive from the downtown.

As the producer, Eliza was the most authoritative person in the crew.

Therefore, by the time Eliza arrived, the crew had basically arrived.

The heroine was a student chosen from the Hoover Film Academy. The male actor in a leading role
was said to be famous. Eliza had only mentioned it to Summer once, but Summer did not know who he
was.

After Eliza arrived, she asked immediately, "Has Bowen come?"

Summer, who was following behind her, was dumbfounded when she heard the name "Bowen."

She had some impression of the name "Bowen''.

It was mainly because when Eliza pretended to be a maid and sneaked into Leonardo's villa, she
fought against Alisa as Alisa mentioned this name.

The fight was fierce.

Because of the fight, Eliza asked to quit.

Bowen was a veteran actor with a good reputation in the entertainment industry. He was very popular
and had a lot of fans.



There were not many of his works that went viral, but each of them had excellent reviews. He had
worked with many big-name directors, and was an undoubted A-list actor.

Therefore, he was not cheap.

Today was the day that ‘Lost City’ started shooting. Eliza asked about Bowen as soon as she arrived,
which made Summer puzzled.

Were they not preparing an online drama?

Online dramas pursued clicks, and they were not made into big-budget dramas. They would use actors
who are not so famous, or the new.

And Bowen was a high-paid actor....

Summer touched Eliza and asked her, "You asked Bowen to be the male actor in a leading role?"

"Right." Eliza was a little bit embarrassed. She looked around and brought Summer to a corner. She
said, "Don't let Bowen know about the fight between me and Alisa."

Summer was stunned for a moment, "Alright."

"Ms. Austin."

"I'm here."

Summer still wanted to ask more, but Eliza was called away.

Summer was curious about how much Eliza had invested to ‘Lost City’.

Eliza's assistant poured a glass of water for Summer, "Ms. Summer, have some water."



"Thank you." Summer took the glass.

After a while, Eliza finished her work and came back to Summer.

"It's too hot." Eliza drank some water before she turned to Summer and said, "But the drama must be
finished before winter. Then, it could be on air during the winter vacation."

Summer pondered for a moment and asked, "How much investment did you get? What's the budget?"

Eliza didn't hide anything from her and directly said, "Fifty million yuan."

"Fifty million?" Summer was shocked by the figure.

Fifty million was a huge budget for an online drama.

"If fifty million isn't enough, I can get more investment." Eliza said in an easy tone.

Summer plucked her hair off the forehead and asked softly, "Aren't you afraid that you might not earn it
back?"

Eliza seemed to think for a moment and said, "So what? At most, I won't cooperate with you anymore."

She reached out to pat Summer's shoulder, "I'm joking. The shooting hasn't started yet. I don't care if I
make money or not. If I have to think about the results before I do everything, how tired would I be?"

Summer nodded, "That's right."

Eliza stood up and said, "Let's go. Let me introduce you to the crew."

There were a lot of staff on the crew, and Summer couldn't recognize them all at a time.



However, it could be seen that Eliza had the say in the crew. Because it was Eliza who introduced
Summer to them, they were all very polite to Summer.

When some of them heard her name, their eyes told the curiosity, but they didn't ask any further.

After she had got acquaintance with the crew, Bowen finally showed up.

Bowen was tall and strong, with short hair and slight stubble. He was handsome, and the wheat-
colored skin made him masculine.

As he was a different type from the popular young male actors, Bowen could only depend on his acting.
His acting range was not wide, and most of the characters he had played were masculine males.

When Eliza saw him, she shouted, "Bowen."

"Hi, Eliza." Bowen walked over and glanced at Eliza.

Eliza put her hand on Summer's shoulder and said, "Listen, this is the screenwriter of ‘Lost City’,
Summer."

Bowen looked at Summer with surprise in his eyes, but he quickly moved his gaze away and said
politely, "Hello, Ms. Sumer."

Summer smiled, "Nice to meet you! I've seen your movies."

Bowen was the male actor in the leading role, and he was even busier. After a few words with them, he
was called away by the director.

The opening ceremony went better than expected.

It went so well that after Summer returned home, she found she was not pursued by the media.



It went exceptionally well.

Summer thought for a moment and called Leonardo.

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to have been waiting for her call, and it was picked
up with a single ring.

"Summer."
