Chapter 647
She wasn’t familiar with Director Javier, who had made arthouse and commercial films and won numerous awards This kind of director would hate it even more if an actor were late for an audition
As soon as Celeste finished speaking, Isabel and Sydney exited the private room
Upon seeing Celeste, Isabel immediately stepped forward to block her, “We couldn’t find you during the audition. Now you show up, causing a scene with no sense of time! Mr. Javier has already chosen Sydney for the lead role”
Javier turned to his assistant Who is this actress?”
The assistant quickly found Celeste’s information and said in a low voice, ‘She’s a new signee with Skyline Media Group She hasn’t had any work yet She just finished shooting a drama recently, it hasn’t been released yet. She also appeared in a short film and gained a little fame
The assistant continued. “Sydney, that big star arrived for the audition an hour early This one has no concept of time it’s laughable that Skyline Media Group would rank these two together in his view, there was no companson between them
Sydney was superior in all aspects, whether in popularity, public image, or existing works.
Isabel kept pushing Celeste Annoyed, Celeste grabbed her hand and said in a low voice, “You know damn well why I was later
Isabel sneered. “Blaming others for your lack of time management?”
Celeste didn’t want to waste her breath with her and shook off her hand, walking straight towards the director and his team
“Mr Director, the audition ends at nine, and it’s eight fifty–two now I still have eight minutes, enough for me to perform. Please give me a chance”
Javier examined her from head to toe
After a long pause he finally said. “As you just heard, we’ve already chosen the lead actress.”
Sydney’s mouth curved into a smug smile.
The character Kathie, a poor and innocent girl, in Javier’s film was tailor–made for her. That was Sydney’s forte. The moment she saw the script, she knew the role
was hers
With Celeste’s somewhat strange face, she wouldn’t even pass the image screening.
She was waiting to see Celeste’s crushed expression, but to her surprise, Celeste didn’t show any change of expression. She even gave a small smile
Tm not here to audition for Kathie. I’m here for Nannie”
Nannie, the second female lead and Kathie’s roommate, is a wealthy heiress. Despite her privileged background, she often lost to Kathie in professional courses, and their relationship was almost hostile
Later, when Kathie was drugged and her lower body paralyzed, the investigation team came. Nannie was the prime suspect.
But the case was eventually left unsolved due to lack of evidence.
Paralyzed from the waist down, Kathie could no longer stand on stage. Meanwhile, Nannie managed to step onto the international stage, becoming a big shot in the industry at home and abroad
Nannie’s character in the play was the most complex, second only to the female lead in screen time–the character ages from twenty to forty, a vital role
However, the character was so dark Javier couldn’t decide who should play it.
Now that Celeste had mentioned the role, he gave her a second look.
The arrogance in Celeste’s eyes and her natural grace fit Nannie’s image perfectly
Javier became interested.
“Can you dance?”
Celeste answered cautiously. “I’ve had a few years of training”
Javier turned to his assistant. “Give her a script from the training room scene”
Then he looked at Celeste again. “Let me see your basics.”
The pressure in Celeste’s heart cased a little As long as she got a chance, that was all that mattered
Sydney looked displeased. As Celeste walked past her, she said coldly. “Celeste, the entertainment industry is about talent, not about hooking up
