Early November.
After over a month of hard work, Athena finally left Surban and prepared to return home.
While resting at the camp, she opened her laptop and browsed domestic news online.
With just one glance, she stumbled upon some juicy gossip about Zayn.
The headline read, "Zayn Donovan acts like a boss on set, refuses to follow the script, leading to production shutdown."
The content roughly said that while filming The King of Military Dogs. Zayn refused to act in an explosion scene, claiming it was too dangerous. He demanded that the explosion be done with special effects, even though the crew had hired professionals to ensure safety. Despite these precautions, Zayn still refused to perform the scene and got into an argument with the director on set, causing the crew to stop working.
There was even a photo attached to the news.
The background of the picture looked like an outdoor shooting location. Zayn was dressed in military uniform, speaking to the director. Based on their facial expressions and body language, it indeed seemed like they were arguing.
The comments were overwhelmingly critical of Zayn.
[Those bastards are like this. Once they get famous, they become arrogant and start acting like big bosses. Zayn is no exception.]
[So what if he's ex-military? So what if he's won the Hero Medal? He's not a soldier now, but an actor. He's already different from ordinary people. Of course, he has to put on airs.]
[This movie has a low budget and is almost finished filming, but he's acting like a tyrant on set. Every day the crew stops working, more money gets burned. I feel sorry for the staff…]
[There are many explosive scenes in movies and television shows, but no one has been killed by the explosion. He's still a soldier. Why is he so afraid? Isn't his family quite rich? He might as well stay at home and live off his old age…]
Athena knew that there must be something going on.
This movie did not feature any big-name stars, and the investment was not high, with a budget of only around 6 million dollars.
Zayn accepted a modest newcomer's fee and took on the movie out of his deep passion for the military. There was no way he would refuse to do a scene out of fear of danger.
In any case, she firmly supported Zayn.
Two days later.
The plane carrying Athena landed in Kitmore City.
She turned on her phone and saw the news reporting that Zayn had decided to terminate his contract with the production team after failing to reach an agreement. Now, he would have to pay them a hefty termination fee.
She thought for a moment and called Zayn. "Zayn, I'm back in Kitmore City. I saw on the news that you had a conflict with the crew, and they accused you of acting like a boss. What's going on?"
Zayn's voice was calm. "This movie tells the story of a military dog and special forces soldiers working together to hunt down terrorists. One very important scene in the film features the king of military dogs spotting a bomb dropped by the enemy. The dog grabs the bomb and races away from the team, sacrificing itself."
He went on, "The director chose an old, distinguished military dog to film this scene, making it carry a real bomb to its death. I couldn't accept such an arrangement, so I immediately stopped the director and insisted that the crew use special effects or props to depict the dog's sacrifice instead. But the director insisted on absolute realism and demanded that Bello, the name of the military dog, be sacrificed. He even mentioned that Bello had cancer and didn't have long to live, suggesting that if the dog could die in this film, it would touch more audiences and die for a worthy cause."
He sighed. "We were unable to convince each other, so the scene couldn't be filmed."
Athena said without hesitation, "Zayn, you did the right thing. I firmly support you. But isn't anyone concerned that a real military dog, one that has earned honors, was killed just for a movie shoot?"
