Chapter 855
The fact that Richard was going to play a part as a male lead in her script made Elizabeth extremely surprised his beautiful eyes and his handsome profile, both of which got herself addicted to admiring such a beautiful figure.
"But you ... Wasn't you about to stop acting? Why do you still want to perform?" It took Elizabeth a long time to find her reasonable mind and normal voice, but there was still a hint of happiness and surprise in her voice.
"I don't want other men to take part in your first play. All of your first scenes must be given to me!" Richard said arrogantly.
Elizabeth trembled slightly, but then, she could not help but laugh out loudly: "Alright, as long as it can solve the company's current predicament. I will cooperate with you no matter what you want."
As expected, the entire internet was abuzz with people's gossips and excitement.
Everyone was looking forward to the male lead, even going so far as to put up a poll on the internet for Richard Hughes, whose name had far surpassed the second position. At this moment, when they heard that Richard was the most perfect candidate in their hearts, many people were extremely excited, and expressed that they would always support him.
As Richard's only publicly acknowledged girlfriend, playing opposite him on screen was to make people much more interested in it and look forward to it even more. Of course, most of them were worried that Elizabeth Jones, as a new actress, would ruin the image of the role in the public's mind as such an important role first, just because of her poor acting skills.
The shares of the company were already showing a trend of recovery. At 3 PM, they directly rose to high point. As we can see, the effect of this method was still visible and useful.
Richard going back on his word had also affected the interests of some people.
As the only vice president of the company, Eric Marum was extremely infuriated.
Initially, he could have made use of this opportunity to destroy the company, but he didn't expect that Richard's counter attack would catch him off guard.
Richard was already suspecting Eric Marum. There were many problems with the accounts of the company's finance department, but because Richard had always trusted Eric and did not pursue the matter further, adding the fact that the company was doing well, and the benefits were considerable, Richard often let him get away with it.
But now, when the company started to meet the problem of poaching, Eric did not take it seriously. Hence, he started to doubt his management ability.
Thus, after Richard agreed to act as the male lead, an important meeting was held in the afternoon. Furthermore, an important appointment was made, and he directly announced to recruit an experienced Vice President to work with Eric Marum on the daily affairs of the company.
This acceptance of fate was simply a huge blow to Eric Marum, it directly divided his power between the two of them, causing him to be extremely unhappy, but as for Richard's personality, he knew clearly, he didn't dare to argue with him, but he felt extremely resentful towards him from his heart. Initially, he had planned to destroy the company step by step, but from the looks of it, he wanted to
speed up his actions.
Elizabeth went to the audition today and this ancient costume drama called "Phoenix World" had already been popular on the internet for a few years, so the topic of discussion was good. The director that was hired was also extremely famous, so it could be seen just how high his expectations for this movie were.
Elizabeth put on makeup, made a set of ancient clothes with her hair style, and put on a set of bright red ancient clothes with a long skirt. The fabric was fine, and the exquisite dress made Elizabeth instantly transform into an ancient female princess.
The director was quite pleased with her style and kept praising her, "Hmm, you have the temperament of an ancient young girl. Your face looks very suitable for ancient costumes. Let's have a try first.."
"Director, I wonder which part you want me to try?" Elizabeth was a little nervous because this was her first time acting.
Although Angus had continuously comforted her before she came and taught her many unique skills, such as how to shed tears when she was angry or hurt, etc. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
"The scene where she was annulled, right? That scene was the best at embodying a person's acting skills." In reality, the director also wanted to make things difficult for Elizabeth. After all, she was a newbie but with someone powerful to protect her, so the coaches wanted to do something bad to her, but now, it seemed like they did not have a chance at all. This made him angry, so he wanted to make things difficult for Elizabeth.
Hearing the words about breaking off with someone, Elizabeth some sad expression in her eyes. She
felt that she had already experienced that period of time.
Elizabeth's mood had always been suppressed today. When she displayed the kind of despair and sadness a young girl had after breaking off, it unexpectedly burst forth with a great deal of strength, and even the moment her tears fell, it acted out without the slightest trace. It was completely caused by the depths of her heart, causing one to be moved.
The director had a look of disbelief on his face. He stared down at the beautiful face that was filled with emotions and was immediately captivated by it and was unable to shift his gaze away.
It looks like it wasn't an accident that Richard had picked up this woman. She still had some acting skills.
After finishing this part, Elizabeth was still squatting on the ground, crying non-stop.
"Alright, alright. You have finished. You have done it really well. Don't cry anymore!" Angus ran over and comforted her.
Elizabeth stood up, her expression still somewhat sorrowful, she took a tissue and wiped her tears, then walked towards the makeup room.
Suddenly, when she was about to go outside the dressing room, her footsteps paused, and she saw Richard dressed in a suit with leather shoes standing there.
"You…"
"Why are you here?" Elizabeth never thought that she would run into him, she did not even have time
to hide the tears in her eyes, she was panicking.
Richard walked towards her step by step. His gloomy eyes were tightly locked onto her blinking eyes.
"What show did you try?" Richard was curious, why was this woman crying so hard, it could be seen how sad this was.
Angus immediately shouted, "The scene where the Little Princess is annulled!"
Richard was startled, and looked at Elizabeth with an unknown look.
However, Elizabeth acted as if she had received a shock, and immediately said softly: "Let's go in and chat."
"Elizabeth did very well, and the director also praised her." Angus said proudly at the side.
Richard squinted his eyes, took a step forward with his long legs, and followed her into the dressing room.
"You seem to be stuck in the play!" Behind her, the man's low voice sounded.
Elizabeth hurriedly took out a tissue and continued to wipe the tears at the corner of her eyes, laughing at herself: "I didn't, I just felt something different. A woman who was annulled must have felt really hopeless and sad, so naturally I cried along with her."
"Are you blaming me?" Richard suddenly went closer, her thin lips almost touching her earlobe: "You're blaming me for cancelling our engagement?"
