Chapter 201: Chapter 201
Chapter 202
Dana Roosevelt lowered her head apologetically. She felt as embarrassed as if she was stripped off her clothes in public. However, someone helped her end her current predicament.
"I provided her with cosmetics alone because she was the only one without makeup. She was provided with clothes because what she's wearing were not suitable, so she was asked to go to the fitting room to change to the most common unbranded costumes."
"If you really mind that, you can completely remove the makeup on your face, take off your luxurious dress, then use the cosmetics and wear the clothes provided here."
After Fort Favila finished speaking, his sharp eyes looked over the faces of all the women present.
The female actors immediately bowed their heads one by one. No one dared to oppose him.
The man smiled contemptuously and finally, Fort Favila stared at the woman with the pink dress. "So, do you want to remove your makeup now and change?"
"I do not!" The female star was terrified that she quickly refused. Asking her to remove her makeup in public would damage her image.
After the woman refused, she was embarrassed for another second, and then immediately lowered her head. Everyone bowed their heads, and no one dared to object.
Of course, they were not willing. Today was the audition, no one called their own stylist to paint themselves with the most professional makeup and the most expensive clothes.
The cosmetics and clothes provided by the entertainment company were decent but no matter how good, it was impossible to have a professional image consultant carefully and personally customize it to suit the actor.
Therefore, the reason why Dana Roosevelt just now was being picked on by the group of women who are striving for beauty. If they see and unfamiliar woman with an unknown background, they'd instinctively want to suppress and bully her.
Fort Favila watched their reaction and snorted disdainfully.
Dana Roosevelt lowered her head now, only seeing her black hair and white forehead, she didn't know what kind of expression she was now.
"In addition," Just when everyone thought Fort had finished speaking, he spoke again. The atmosphere was tenser than before. "She is a newcomer that Director Lucas personally discovered. It seems that someone in a circle reminds you."
"The take away, don't reckless poke a hornet's nest." After speaking, he left without looking back.
There was no doubt that he was the top of this circle, and no one knows its secrets better than him.
He was annoyed as he looked at these people like they were mere animals. If it weren't for Dana Roosevelt, he wouldn't even bother to come.
...
So the audition began.
Dana Roosevelt took her number plate and the team went very fast. Everyone only had a few minutes or even tens of seconds. It can be said that it was not easy to express oneself in such a short period of time.
She followed the team and saw one person enter and another person came out. After putting on her makeup and changing her clothes, she looked more energetic and beautiful.
According to Fort Favila, the most fundamental thing here was being beautiful. He also added that if she can't pass the audition, she will be "returned" to Walker Herbert. Therefore, she was really pressured.
Finally, her turn came. Dana Roosevelt had never participated in this kind of audition, of course, she was not as accustomed as those female stars or models.
The girl was holding the number card and playing, even though she has tried her best to be natural, she can't conceal a kind of uneasiness in her bones.
But the uneasy, put in the lens, was a kind of embarrassment and entanglement and immaturity during the transformation of a young girl into a woman. The girl's lips were red with white teeth and her waist-long black hair. Such a strong color couldn't diminish her beauty and depravity.
Dana Roosevelt just stood there quietly, like a girl who was lost in an enchanted forest. She was like a fairy that despite her innocence, still captivated the audience. They were all at a loss for words.
"You..."
Alfred Lucas who had watched a group of "rotten tomatoes" previously, almost fell. Unexpectedly, he suddenly saw this face that was completely accidental.
Until he spoke, the assistant director, screenwriter, and producer came to their senses, as if they were in a trance.
It's really surprising that all the people who come to the audition are either dancing or looking at the camera with various expressions, wishing to pile up all their expressive power.
Only the girl in front of him, with her hands folded and doing nothing, just stood there quietly, looking at the camera seriously. But her timidity, the strength in her bones, and the faint arrogance in her heart, all showed clearly and vividly.
Despite the lack of technique, people instead focused on the matching of her appearance and temperament.
Several persons in charge exchanged glances, and immediately knew it.
"How in the world?"
"Very clean, she's perfect!"
"Fort Favila, what do you think?" The assistant director asked, considering the degree of running-in between the hero and the heroine.
Fort Favila stood silently in the shadow on the side, did not speak, did not leave, and said lightly.
"I recommended this person to Director Lucas. Of course, I see no problem choosing her."
"Then her." It was the author of the original novel who said this. The author was a very capable woman in her thirties. Looking at the camera, she was quite satisfied with the girl's face on the screen. She deemed her the most similar to her heroine.
"You," The announcement came from Director Lucas, "The female lead is you, and you will be given the details and schedule later."
"Thank you, director! I will do my best!"
Hearing everyone's affirmation, Dana Roosevelt almost shed tears with excitement.
She has not received recognize from other before and never thought that she'd pass today's audition but now that it was successful, she can't help but feel moved.
But the most important was that she was saved.
...
Entertainment company office.
This is the top office. From today, Dana Roosevelt was a member of the entertainment company. She has to sign a contract, make an agreement, and then participate in shoots.
Because of this, she was also very worried. First, she really has no experience in acting, and she is afraid of causing trouble for the crew. On the other hand, the world is vast and Walker Herbert influence was far-reaching.
Now that she was going to be a star and will make her public appearance, wouldn't that mean revealing herself to Walker Herbert?
The girl was puzzled and went back and forth to find Fort Favila several times.
Mr. Favila was a little patient at first, telling her not to worry, but later got annoyed by her frequent questions. "As long as you prepare to boot up, I will arrange everything else, ok?"
The man was condescending and looked down at the young lady in front of him. The woman was immediately intimidated by his presence and took a step back. "OK."
Fort took a deep breath, lifted his steps, and walked straight toward the internal meeting room with his long legs.
This meeting room belonged to Director Lucas and only him, Fort Favila, and other important personnel can get in.
Alfred Lucas was smoking a pipe, and when he saw the man coming in, he lit the tobacco and frowned.
"You said Dana Roosevelt has a difficulty in participating in the show, what is it?"
Fort closed the door, his expression was calm, and walked over. "Walker Herbert."
"Oh?" Alfred Lucas held a pipe in his mouth.
"Walker Herbert and Dana Roosevelt had a conflict. I don't know the specifics, but she gave me a condition, that is if she was allowed to participate in the performance, then I must help her avoid Walker Herbert."
Alfred Lucas, "...How long do you intend hide?"
Fort looked at him for a moment without speaking.
"Why are you staring at me? So how long? One day? Three days? One week?"
Fort Favila, "Three years."
This time, Alfred Lucas couldn't hold back, and he coughed out a mouthful of water. "Three, three years? Are you kidding me?!"
Fort Favila didn't change his face, the tall and stern man remained silent.
"She is talking about three years now."
"Do you think of me as a priest or magician who can make people out of thin air? Or do you think Walker Herbert is stupid?"
He actually wanted to hide a person for three years. The person in question had a contract. Was it even possible?
"Is this the fucking plausible, Fort Favila?"
Fort Favila was too lazy to reply, he just casually turned the watch in his hand, his tone was also incredibly weak. "I don't know if it's like a good thing, but it's a requirement of others. Why don't we continue to interview others?"
Alfred Lucas, "..."
In the first place, if the interview can push through, he did not have to delay the boot until now.
Damn it. This brat, he had thought of everything.
Alfred Lucas slumped his shoulder and started smoking and waving his hands.
"Yes, just keep your word, okay?"
"There's a way, go to Vancouver and let the crew cooperate on my side. I'll just do my part in investment, okay?"
He was called an artist director who places his art over money. But even with his judgment, he really couldn't think of a way to get money to solve this problem.
"No need."
Alfred Lucas was about to break his head, but the young man just slowly dropped his hand back into his pocket.
"I will pay the money and will think of a way. I'll make the arrangements for Dana Roosevelt."
Alfred Lucas, "Why are you?" The handsome middle-aged man looked at incredulously at the young man who could only be described as an overwhelming beauty. His face was full of shock and disbelief.
"You, have you taken a fancy to her?"
Fort Favila's face went stern. "I haven't said anything yet, and I'm dealing with married women right now."
"Then why do you bother? Have too much spare money to burn?"
If you want to help Dana Roosevelt conceal her whereabouts, that is something the entire crew had to follow, and even find a remote place for the shoot. The cost will be astronomical.
"Ok."
"You're so fucking panicking that you forgot how to deposit it in the bank?" Alfred Lucas almost threw up blood.
"Well," Fort Favila pondered, then said, "Maybe because I have so much money that I need a woman to help spend it."
Alfred Lucas was at a loss for words. There were actually such people in this world.
"Then what are you going to do now? You messed up with Walker Herbert. I'm afraid something bad will happen."
