Soon, Natalie realized what Adrian's cold laugh meant. Today's shoot involved Matilda and Leon discussing love, and one of the lines was exactly what she had performed when she initially approached Adrian, which had earned her praise and laid the foundation for her to land this role.
However, no matter how hard she tried, Adrian was never satisfied once they started filming, and he insisted on doing almost ten takes for each shot before calling it quits. Natalie quickly understood why, but she couldn't possibly retaliate, because after each NG, Adrian would seriously and sincerely explain what he wanted from the shoot, leaving her completely unsure what to say. What was most infuriating, there was a shot of her walking out of a room that should have been simple but took almost four takes. When she questioned it, Adrian innocently claimed that he had forgotten to turn on the camera for the first three takes!
