At lunchtime, Amber Heard didn’t send her assistant. Instead, she walked over to the catering cart herself. She took her lunch box and deliberately sought out the person who had brought the food. "Excuse me, do you have garlic here?" Amber Heard asked. The person looked at her curiously, seemingly unable to understand why such a beautiful girl would want such a terrible food like garlic. Seeing that he was just staring at her, Amber Heard couldn’t help but ask again, "Excuse me, do you have garlic?" "Of course," the man snapped back to his senses and took a few cloves of garlic from the cart, handing them to Amber Heard. "Is this enough?" Amber Heard took them and glanced at them. "Can I have a bit more?" Hearing such a request, the man’s expression became even more peculiar, but he recognized her as the film’s lead actress, so he didn’t refuse. Instead, he simply handed over a whole bulb of garlic to Amber Heard. Putting the garlic away and carrying her lunch box, Amber Heard returned to her trailer. After a quick lunch, she sat in her chair and took off her flat shoes, gently massaging the blisters caused by the props department’s high heels. These types of injuries didn’t hurt when left alone, but touching them was quite painful. These were her feet, after all and there was another scene to shoot this afternoon. How could she not touch them? Thinking of this, Amber Heard couldn’t help but grit her teeth. Andrew Garfield had done it on purpose clearly retaliating out of jealousy. Things couldn’t just end , but Amber Heard wouldn’t stoop to his level. Andrew Garfield had been far too obvious it had already drawn the attention of the director, Duke Rosenberg. If she retaliated in a similar way this afternoon, sure, Andrew Garfield would suffer, but she wouldn’t come out unscathed either. Amber Heard knew Charlize Theron, one of ICM’s top actresses. The two had even had dinner together. Before joining the production, she had specially consulted Charlize Theron and learned that even if filming had already started, director Duke Rosenberg wouldn’t hesitate to replace an actor if necessary. Sure enough, as soon as the afternoon’s work began, the director called both her and Andrew Garfield over. "I don’t care what kind of issues you two have between you I’m not interested in that." Looking at the young man and woman, Duke’s tone was flat but brooked no resistance. "If something happens again, you can both leave the production." Amber Heard didn’t say anything, only putting on a very aggrieved expression. Andrew Garfield also remained silent. Anything said at this point would only make things worse. Duke didn’t bother speaking further, waving his hand instead. "Go get ready. And remember what I just said." As time went on, actors born after ’85 and even after ’90 were starting to become the new blood in Hollywood. These young people were far more difficult to manage than the rule-abiding older actors. Of course, he wasn’t joking. If Amber Heard and Andrew Garfield didn’t get their act together, he could absolutely replace them. Duke would only tolerate this kind of thing once. In his production, competition was acceptable, even personal grudges were fine this was Hollywood, after all but once it affected filming, it crossed his line. After warning Amber Heard and Andrew Garfield, Duke got into a vehicle and led the crew away from the Second Unit Market to a rural shooting location. Here, they would film the final scene where the male and female leads kiss. The crew busied themselves setting up the location and adjusting the equipment. After finishing her makeup, Amber Heard cleared everyone out of the makeup trailer, pulled out the garlic she had prepared during lunch from her bag, and tossed it into her mouth... Ten minutes later, a production assistant came to inform her. Amber Heard stepped out of the trailer and went to the filming location. This scene wasn’t difficult—just a hood-roll shot. Once it was done, today’s work would be finished, and they could head back to Los Angeles for the Warner Bros. celebration party for The Dark Knight. She walked to the yellow Camaro sports car and sat on the hood. After waiting less than half a minute, the freshly made-up Andrew Garfield walked over. He came directly in front of the car, glanced at Amber Heard, and suppressed his disgust as he lowered his voice. "Let’s make sure nothing else ’accidentally’ happens. Unless you want to get kicked off the set." Amber Heard snorted lightly through her nose, turning her gaze away. Andrew Garfield shrugged. If it weren’t for the sake of his future, how could he possibly put up with this? The director’s words had been calm, but he knew very well they were not empty threats. "All departments, on standby!" An assistant director shouted into a megaphone, "All departments on standby. We begin filming in five minutes!" Andrew Garfield walked over to the front of the Camaro, suppressing all other emotions and quickly adjusting his state. Amber Heard kept her mouth shut tight, as if she had no intention of speaking to him at all. However, once the clapper board signaled "Action," their expressions changed immediately. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩 This was the male and female leads’ happy ending scene. As Andrew Garfield leaned in, Amber Heard cooperated perfectly, opening her mouth and then a strong, unusual odor shot straight into Andrew Garfield’s throat. The stench was overpowering, so strong it nearly made Andrew Garfield vomit up his lunch... But he struggled to hold himself together. The director’s warning still echoed in his ears, and he believed that Duke meant what he said. This was clearly Amber Heard’s revenge but who would believe him if he complained? Not only was that a real possibility—it was a very likely one. Andrew Garfield had heard rumors about Hollywood. Beneath Duke Rosenberg’s calm face hid a heart of stone! No one liked that kind of smell, but Andrew Garfield endured it. Compared to the little tricks he had pulled, Amber Heard’s subtle, trace-free tactics were truly brilliant! "Cut! That one’s good." Duke’s voice calling the scene a pass was like heavenly music to Andrew Garfield’s ears. He broke away from Amber Heard at lightning speed and took several deep breaths, but the smell not only didn’t dissipate—if anything, it seemed to have seeped into every corner of his stomach with each breath. Andrew Garfield couldn’t hold it in any longer. He quickly left the set, found a spot on the outskirts where no one was around, opened his mouth, and his lunch poured out like a waterfall... Through the gaps between the crowd, Amber Heard looked at the vomiting Andrew Garfield, and a faint smile curled on her lips. The morning’s frustration was finally released. The day’s work was now over. Duke returned to his trailer to watch the footage shot that day. Many dramatic scenes had been filmed near Los Angeles. Starting next week, once the studio construction was finished, they would move into the soundstage to shoot scenes requiring added CG effects. There was a knock on the door. Anna Prinz came in and asked, "No problem with today’s footage?" Duke nodded and gestured outside. "How’s the packing going?" "Almost done." Anna Prinz sat across from Duke, picked up a cup, poured herself some water, took a sip, and said, "We should be ready to leave in about half an hour." "Anna, don’t forget," Duke reminded her, "there’s a party tonight." "Don’t worry." Anna Prince finished the water in her cup. "I definitely won’t miss it this time. My dress is already prepared." Unlike others, Anna Prinz led a relatively low-key life. After Anna Prinz left, Duke quickly tidied up, exited the trailer, looked around at the crew still packing up the gear, and got into his car. The sun had just started to dip westward in the sky as the crew left the outskirts of the small town of Valencia and headed onto the highway to Los Angeles. Back at the Warner Bros. studio in Burbank, Duke finished the rest of the day’s business. By the time he returned to his estate in Malibu, the sun was setting on the horizon. At the villa, Scarlett had already prepared his tuxedo. Though she wasn’t happy about Duke’s preference for conservative attire, she still laid out a traditional blue-black tuxedo. As people get older, they naturally become more conservative in thought and Duke was never one for flashiness to begin with. "I thought you’d be back earlier." After helping Duke change clothes, Scarlett stood in front of the dressing mirror and began changing into her own evening gown. Duke adjusted his bow tie in the mirror and said, "No choice I have to make sure there’s enough time for post-production, so we need to finish filming as fast as possible." A single year was too tight for preparing, shooting, and producing a film like Transformers. To stay on schedule, Duke had even canceled some of the crew’s weekend breaks. For example, this weekend—originally, Warner Bros. scheduled the celebration party for the weekend evening so it wouldn’t interfere with Duke’s work. But Duke didn’t give the crew time off and just rearranged the filming schedule a few days ago, with only a relatively simple scene planned for the afternoon. A $200 million production budget, plus a confirmed $130 million promotional budget, meant no one could afford to be sloppy. Even with Duke’s wealth of successful experience, he still felt the pressure. The pressure came not only from having to deliver returns on the investment, but also from the anticipation and passion of countless Transformers fans. Though a live-action adaptation would inevitably be seen by some hardcore "steel fans" as ruining their childhood, Duke still didn’t want to disappoint the majority of fans like himself who loved Transformers. Once Scarlett finished dressing and packed her bag, Duke took her by the hand, and they left the villa. They got into a Rolls-Royce and left Malibu, heading for Burbank. After The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Duke had another movie that crossed the $1 billion box office mark, which was one of the main reasons Warner Bros. was throwing this celebratory party after several years. Of course, another big reason was to attract media attention and promote the heavily-invested Transformers.
