Chapter 191 Audition
Female stars would never compromise to become old. What they most wanted was youth film.
It was no exaggeration to say that as long as she played the role of Youth, she would not have to worry about being regarded as an older artist for two years. Therefore, all the actresses were very concerned about the audition.
All the actresses had brought their make-up artists. Only Kristen was waiting for the make-up artist of the crew.
Yvette walked up to her and asked with a smile, “Miss Healey, you’re late. Why didn’t you bring a personal make-up artist? Mr. Wharton has been engaged. Is it the reason why you are in such a difficult situation? Do you want me to lend you mine?”
“No need. If your acting is not good enough, no matter how good your makeup is, it will be useless.”
Kristen held her phone with a relaxed expression. Now that everyone in the industry thought Ethan was engaged. She was too lazy, to tell the truth.
In fact, she had long felt that she had been relying too much on Ethan, which had hidden her talent. Now was the perfect time to prove herself.
Anna was angry. The make-up artist that Mr. Wharton hired for Kristen was top-notch in the industry, but she had not come back yet after studying abroad.
Kristen was born good-looking, and she was beautiful even without makeup. No one had the qualification to mock her here!
After a while, the make-up artist arrived at Kristen’s place. She usually puts on make-up for supporting roles. She didn’t expect to apply makeup for Kristen Healey. She asked excitedly, “What kind of makeup do you want, Miss Healey?”
“I don’t need makeup. Just help me comb my hair.”
Kristen had never intended to put on makeup. The role was a cute student, who was not suitable for makeup.
The makeup artist instantly understood what she meant and adjusted her hair and clothes as she wished.
The makeup artist was late. Kristen only took five minutes to finish and went straight out.
She didn’t pay any attention to Yvette’s gloomy face.
When they arrived at the audition venue, they saw that the assistants of other stars had occupied the seats.
Anna slapped her forehead and said regretfully, “I should have come to occupy some seats.”
“It’s alright. A good actor is not concerned about order.”
Kristen yawned and sit on a chair with Anna to wait.
Yvette hurried to arrive. Seeing that Kristen was still out, She breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the room with her chin lifted.
Kristen looked at Yvette’s outfit and express her opinion. “You know, her proud temperament is very suitable for playing the second female lead.”
Anna nodded repeatedly and said, “Yes. You are the only one who can act as the first female lead.”
“Miss Healey.”
Someone greeted her from the back. Kristen turned and saw that it was Nana Lee, a member of Star Detective.
“Are you also here for this audition?”
Kristen greeted her with a smile. Perhaps it was because they had been in the same team, so she had a good impression of Nana.
” Miss Lee, please sit.” Anna hurriedly moved aside. She took her things and stood aside.
“Thank you.”
Nana smiled and sat down. “Yes, I’m here to audition for the third female lead.”
Kristen had an impression of the third female lead, who was the sister of the first female lead. Although her parts are few, she was still a very important role.
The character of a third female character was lively and cute, which was very suitable for Nana.
Kristen encouraged her. “Go for it.”
“Thank you, Miss Healey. Hope you succeed.”
Nana blushed. She hadn’t been in the entertainment industry for long, so she didn’t have much of a presence in Star Detective.
She didn’t expect that Miss Healey was willing to talk to her and cheer for her.
She suddenly felt a lot closer and began to gossip. “The door of the dressing room is broken. Someone was trapped in the dressing room just now. It will take half an hour for the firefighter to arrive. When the person comes out, the audition may have ended.”
Kristen remembered that Yvette was unusually helpful in the dressing room, and her expression changed a little.
If she put on makeup, she might be trapped inside.
An assistant came out to inform her. “Miss Healey, it’s your turn.”
“Okay.”
Kristen stood up and walked into the audition room.
She was wearing canvas shoes, jeans, and a white T-shirt. As for the hairstyle, she only had a high ponytail.
She dressed just like a real female student. There was no makeup on her face, but she looked very pure and beautiful.
As soon as she appeared, she attracted the attention of all the people present.
The director, Mr. Gulliver’s face lit up and he put down the teacup. “Try to introduce yourself in the class.”
Kristen straightened her back and smiled shyly. “Hello, everyone, I was just transferred here. My name is Marina…”
Kristen recited the lines word by word, perfectly depicting the heroine’s depression, self-abasement, and pretending to be confident.
After the audition was over, Mr. Gulliver took a deep look at Kristen.
“Go back and wait for the notice.”
He had watched her acting before. Kristen’s acting skills had improved, but she was too gorgeous. He had thought that she was not suitable for playing a student.
He didn’t expect that when she didn’t put on any makeup at all, she would look exactly like a school goddess.
This was what a good actress should look like.
Mr. Gulliver was pleased but also felt conflicted.
He had decided that Yvette would play the first female lead. What’s more, he was a friend of her mother. However, he was having a hard time making up his mind.
As Kristen walked out, Anna nervously followed her steps. “So that’s it? Now we have to go back and wait for notice? What does Mr. Gulliver mean?”
“He told me to wait, then let’s wait.”
Kristen had always been in a good mood. She nodded at Nana and was ready to leave.
However, she had only taken two steps when she was stopped by Yvette. “Miss Healey, the first female lead has already been decided, so it’s useless for you to waste your time. Why don’t you try playing a supporting role? It’s better than you getting nothing!”
Mr. Gulliver had praised her just now, and he was her mother’s close friend as well.
Arguably, this role was hers. The audition was just a show.
Because of the shame of that day, the image that she had been building had collapsed.
She just wanted to target Kristen. The woman who only relied on a man to develop did not have the right to think that she was capable.
“Please move aside.”
Kristen gave her a cold look. She didn’t like Yvette, either, and just didn’t want to waste time arguing with her.
Yvette gritted her teeth and was unwilling to pretend to be friendly.
“Miss Healey, you don’t think you can still rely on a man now, do you? Mr. Wharton has been engaged. Have you found a new backer so soon?”
Kristen asked with a smile, “Have you made up your mind to make trouble for yourself?”
Yvette’s face stiffened. “What do you mean?”
Kristen looked at Yvette’s assistant, who looked guilty.
“I haven’t held your assistant responsible for taking my photos without permission. Do you want me to send you a lawyer’s letter? Although there is no physical evidence, there are witnesses.”
Yvette’s face turned pale. Then she seemed to remember something and questioned Kristen.
“Don’t blame me. Tell me, were you the one who took the video on the Internet? I just wonder why there is no you on the video. Did you do it?”
Yvette tugged on Kristen’s sleeve uncontrollably. That damned video had nearly destroyed her.
If her mother hadn’t suppressed it with public relations means, it would have been hard to imagine how things would have developed.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Kristen shook her off and sneered. “If you doubt me, sue me. And let your fans know your real personality by the way.”
“Does she dare to sue me? If she sues me, it proves that the video is true.” Kristen was not afraid at all.
She couldn’t wait to end this matter as soon as possible. How could she accuse her instead?
