110 BEING LUCKY

"THAT'S it!  That one was simply perfect," Director Trevane exclaimed.  "Good job everyone!"

Astrid was about to stand up from where he was lying when a hand appeared in front of him.  He raised his head and saw that it was Lauren.  He smiled and took his hand.  The other pulled him up. 

"That was great, Astrid!  If it was any other newcomer, I'm sure such a scene would take hundreds of takes before the Director passed it," the other said exaggeratedly.

Astrid only chuckled.  "I don't think it would take a hundred.  Besides, I was only able to do my best because everyone was great."

He didn't say that just so the people around him could have a good impression of him.  It was what he truly felt.  A good scene could only be called good if all the actors in it were able to perform well.  If at least one wasn't up to par, then that scene would be as good ruined.  The only way to save it was through the director's skill.
