Hamlin’s new project had been started for a month, and Zoe learned about the news not long ago.
Hamlin was the most prestigious A-list director with guaranteed box office. Naturally, a role in his movie was undoubtedly sought-after by numerous.
Not only ordinary actors, but also A-list actors and actresses were vying for a role in his work.
But Hamlin was a director of principles. He never paid attention to the celebrity’s status, but only cared about whether he or she fit for the role.
He was particularly fond of using newbies, as the veteran actors had painted colorfully with their unique personal styles, while the newbies
were easier to be taught and moulded in the way he envisioned in his work.
Because of this, he was well-known for his preference for new actors.
Hamlin was one of the reasons why Zoe had attended the party tonight.
As she was smiling, Hamlin glanced at her and frowned.
“Why are you asking it for?”
“Mr. Hall, you know, I have taken over Start Entertainment. I ask you this question just because I want to recommend the suitable candidate to you.”
Hamlin smirked lightly.
“Does Star Entertainment have any capable actors at all?”
It was no secret that Star Entertainment was at the verge of bankruptcy. Any promising actors would have left the company long ago. Who would stay behind anyway?
Zoe, however, remained a smiling face.
“Almost all the roles in your new film ‘Chase the Wind’ have been confirmed, except the supporting female role, Rhea. I know you always pursue perfection in art, and even if the shooting schedule is postponed, you will not give it up.”
“I have an actress at hand. She is quite suitable for the role. If you could give me a chance, I would like to take her to the audition. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.”
Zoe’s words sounded just like she was exaggerating in the ears of others.
As the people around began to whisper something, Hamlin merely frowned, staring at her without a word.
“Who does she think she is? How can she ask
for such an important part like this?”
“Yes, Star Entertainment is a shabby company, how dare she come to Mr. Hall and ask for the role? Does she have any idea about her own status?”
“Even Annie failed to claim that role. If she has artists under her, they must be newbies! How can a newbie get that role?”
“SHH! Mr. Hall always likes to give opportunities to new actress…”
Someone said that, and soon there was no sound around.
Hamlin sized up the woman in front of him. The aloof and calm nature amid her communicated to him and inexplicably he trusted her.
There was nothing to lose for him, as it was just an audition.
With this thought, he nodded and was about to give his word.
At that moment, there was a burst of merry laughter from the door.
“Annie, your performance tonight is amazing, better than anyone else! Did you see how those boys looked at you? Just like a pack of hungry wolves!”
“Annie is charming. Your looks and talent are all first-class, they love her of course!”
“It is a pity that Annie is no longer available. Even if they love her, they dare not get close to her!”
“Ha-ha, if your words are heard by Mr. Anderson, be careful, you might get beaten up.”
“Mr. Anderson is a gentleman. He won’t do that to me!”
“Alright, don’t talk nonsense. Everyone was good tonight. I just took a long time to learn the act, and it was not a big deal.”
“Annie is really modest.”
Perhaps it was because she was standing so close to the door that almost all the people on this side heard her remarks, even if it was not too loud.
At a glance, Zoe saw Annie come in with a group of people.
Annie was in the middle, surrounded by Marie Witt and Tammy Stein. Annie’s white gown accented her noble aura and delicacy, just like a princess in need of protection.
She found Hamlin was standing not far away. She was surprised and walked over, lifting her dress.
“Mr. Hall, you are here.”
Hamlin nodded faintly.
Marie and Tammy were pleased to see Hamlin and followed to greet him as well. The group behind them also forced their way up to pay formalities.
“Hello, Mr. Hall, I’m Marie Witt. I’ve seen your film and really like them.”
“Mr. Hall, I’m Iona, I am your fan!”
A group of women flocked in, and soon surrounded Hamlin.
They scrambled to introduce themselves, hoping to leave a good impression on him.
In this way, Hamlin might remember them should there be a suitable role available someday.
However, Hamlin did not like the hustle and bustle. He attended the event for the sake of the principal. How could he possibly bear being besieged by a group of noisy women?
His brows furrowed.
Considering the occasion, it was not appropriate for him to turn around and leave as he wished.
Seeing this, Zoe said with a smile, “Mr. Hall, didn’t you just say you had something to do? In that case, we shouldn’t bother you. Please go ahead.”
Hamlin glanced at her, and his eyes spoke of abstruseness.
A moment later, he nodded his head and turned to leave.
After taking two steps, he paused before turning to her, and said, “Contact my assistant tomorrow and he’ll tell you the time.”
Zoe’s eyes brightened.
She nodded with a smile, “Ok, thanks, Mr. Hall.”
Hamlin walked out.
Marie and the group were fuming.
“Zoe! What do you mean? You did it on purpose, right? Ask Hamlin to leave as soon as we come in! Are you afraid he’ll chat with us for a little longer?”
Zoe folded her arms and said faintly, “Who am I? Can I ask him to leave? You think too highly of me.”
Marie choked but unwilling to back down. Then she retorted, “Just now you reminded Mr. Hall of going first for something?”
“Yes! Don’t think we can’t see that. You are afraid that Mr. Hall might find us adorable, and you just cannot take it!”
“Yeah! What a scheming b*tch!”
Zoe smiled and did not take their indignant accusations to heart.
Her eyes fell on Annie.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
“You think so too?”
Annie let out a faint smile.
“Mr. Hall dislikes commotions, and Marie had no idea that she might annoy Mr. Hall. Sister, you stopped her in time, I should thank you.”
Zoe showed a mockery smile.
“Mr. Hall asked you to contact his assistant tomorrow, may I know why?”
Zoe raised her eyebrows.
“What do you think?”
Annie secretly clenched her fingers.
She forced a smile reluctantly, “Don’t tell me it is for the role Rhea in Chase The Wind?”
