Chapter 97 (Part Two)
"What do you think of her?" Junia asked in a light and disapproving tone.
Melissa held her breath and started to listen carefully.
After thinking for a while, director Li replied, "She looks good in the shape. She is tall and full with oval face and thick eyebrows. She should look very handsome after makeup." "But she has no experience on martial arts. I'm afraid she can't stand it."
After listening to Director Li's words, Melissa's hands clasped into fists nervously. It seemed that director Li didn't think highly of her. This was the first big shot she got from Zack. If she missed it, it would be a pity. After all, it was not easy to find the female supporting role. Moreover, she had the chance to cooperate with so many famous actors.
Suddenly, Junia gave an arrogant smile and said casually, "It seems that director Li doesn't like her very much. Do you want me to tell you something?" "This new actress has offended me in the company. If I cooperate with her, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for me to control my own emotions. If my shoot can't make me happy, does director Li think I can act well?"
Hearing that, director Li was stunned for a while. "Oh," he said and then muttered, "I see."
Junia continued to say, "Or why didn't director Li ask Mr. Colin about it?" "He is an investor. Director Li, you can ask him if he likes the newcomer."
Standing outside the room, Melissa listened to what the director said. She thought that Junia was really insidious. She told the director that she didn't like her and asked him to hesitate to hire her. What's more, she also mentioned Colin. If Colin had said something bad on her, the director would directly fire her without considering. Therefore, Melissa held her breath and waited for Colin's reply.
But after a long time, she heard Colin's replay smilingly, "I don't care. You can make your own decisions."
His tone was very indifferent. Although it did not show that he hated her, he did not help her to do anything. She was afraid that it would be difficult for her to shoot the movie with Junia's obstruction?
It was a blow to her. Melissa lost all her confidence and left the lounge in silence. She felt that life was so difficult for her. It seemed that she had to go against all the things. She got little resource from Zack, but it would be destroyed by Junia. Now she realized that it was no use giving her commercial contract to Anna. She made Anna become the best actress, but she didn't get anything from her. She probably got nothing from this audition. With Junia and Colin's words, she didn't have to dream about it.
But if she couldn't get the role, she had no money source and no money to pay for his father's medical bills of more than 40 thousand. It was Friday today and there were less than three days left. How could she find so much money?
There was a trace of frustration on Melissa's face. She was not as enthusiastic as she had imagined. She felt that she was caught in a dark world where she had no hope. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
She walked quietly out of the studio and saw many actors putting on makeup and wearing clothes for the audition. Because there were too many people attending the audition, many of them were even waiting in line outside. Many stars were put on airs, with help and broker in their hands, except those who had just graduated from the film academy and had no assistant to accompany them. She was the only one who was so down and out. She had been working for 5 years, but the agent didn't care about her and she also had the assistant. She was alone no matter where she went.
The more Melissa saw, the sadder she became. Then she hid herself in the bathroom to calm down. She slowly washed her hands and looked up at herself in the mirror. She was wearing light makeup. Suddenly, she laughed out. But her smile was so bitter and sarcastic. Why did she always meet those
people who bullied her? She had no intentions provoke these people, but Anna, Sophia, and even Junia, they were always against her. Why did things always go wrong for her? Why did she have to be bullied even when she had to save money for her father to shoot a movie?
Melissa couldn't accept being bullied by them. Thinking of these sad things, she was unwilling to be an actress who was not famous anymore. She must become famous! In the future, she would be even more famous than these people and these people could only be her foil wherever they went! Asking Zack to please her carefully and make those directors ask her to take their plays, so that no arrogant stars dared to compete with her!
Suddenly, Melissa made a drop of water fall on the mirror opposite to her, which blurred her vision. After that, she turned off the water, walked over to the drying machine and dried up her hands. Then she walked out of the bathroom.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw a man. Startled, she stepped back. After taking a good look at him, she asked in surprise and doubt, "Colin?"
Colin turned around and looked at her with a playful smile on his face. "Well, are you surprised to see me?"
Melissa was still in shock. She didn't know why he had come to the entrance of the ladies' room and blocked her way, or that he had come just in time. But how did he know she was there after she had been in the ladies' room for so long?
But no matter what had happened, she still blamed him for what he had done with Junia. So Melissa replied in a cold voice, "What's the matter?"
