Although a lot of big shots come to audition for Director Morrisâs show, heâs not the type who prioritizes their status or popularity.
And his show has no need for these.
âFall of the Quinceâ, directed by Director Nash, does not usually employ popular celebrities or seasoned artists. This is because his budget is limited, and the money mostly goes into production, not into paying actors. So, there are many newcomers.
As for Director Morris himself as a producer, heâs never stingy.
He always cares if the actors fit the characters.
As long as they fit the roles, no matter how eminent they are, heâd do whatever it takes to get them. And if anyone is obscure, he wouldnât mind promoting them to popularity.
So, there are many industry big shots coming, butâ¦it also hosts many newcomers.
If luck is on your side and you truly match the characterâs design, overnight success might be within reach.
Upon spotting Amelia Miles and Clarissa Mason, Hill Dawson immediately rolled her eyes: âWhy are they everywhere? Itâs so annoying. Like lost souls that wonât leave.â
Daisy Zane chuckled at her reaction.
Hill Dawson then looked around and took out her cell phone: âBest Actor Dunn said to wait here for a while. Heâll take us directly to meet Director Morris. I wonder if Catherine God will come today? Meeting a diva like that is always good, to familiarize ourselves. What if a suitable role comes up in the future?â Daisy Zane looked at her for a moment and said, âShe will come.â
âReally?â Hill Dawson suddenly looked up at her, âHow do you know? Who told you? I had no idea.â
Daisy Zane just gave her a cryptic look, saying nothing.
âOh, you guys are here too?â Olivia Chester suddenly walked over and asked.
Hill Dawson, hearing this voice, rolled her eyes again before turning to look at her. She threw back in the same tone: âOh, you guys are here too?â
Olivia Chester scornfully replied, âI think youâre really getting old. Your judgment of people is getting poorer and poorer. You dare bring anyone.â
âBetter than you.â
âIâll give you a heads up.â Olivia Chester looked at Daisy Zane and said with a smirk: âWhile audition hasnât started, hurry and take her away. You know how Director Morris dislikes useless display pieces. If you get scolded later, you two will lose massive face.â
âThat advice goes to you as well.â Hill Dawson shot a glance at Clarissa Mason: âAnd, hereâs another piece of advice for you. This one you brought, she canât even compare to a display piece. You should stop parading her around and making a fool of yourself.â
âYouâ¦â Clarissa Mason wanted to say something, but was silenced by a look from Olivia Chester.
âYou can only have a sharp tongue for now.â Olivia Chester sneered: âJust wait until itâs your turn to lose face. Oh, right, the director of the next show you aim to work is also here today. If you lose face there, you probably could lose the next show as well.â
Director Morris is known to be a bit eccentric within the industry, he does not hesitate in berating anyone if things donât go his way.
If theyâre really going to get scolded in there, or if he maybe says something mean.
The other directors are likely going to judge based on Director Morrisâs opinion.
Then⦠the next show could indeed be done for.
âAnd this is a script from Catherine God. You even have the audacity to bring her. Do you know Catherine Godâs status in the industry? What were you thinking? Did you think good looks alone would suffice? Catherine God, even if she were blind, wouldnât notice her.â
Daisy Zane: .
Hill Dawson was still dwelling on her last words and hadnât heard a thing she said.
Seeing her silent, Olivia Chester turned towards Daisy Zane and said: âI heard the Miles family wants to acknowledge you.â
Daisy Zane simply looked at her, not replying.
Olivia Chester and Charles Hobson have known each other since they were kids. Their relationship has always been close, and they share everything. Sheâs also always treated Amelia Miles like a daughter. Now that Charles is miserable all day because of Daisy Zane, even losing his smile.
Seeing Daisy now, Olivia Chester wanted to kill her: âDonât think that being acknowledged by the Miles family can erase your illegitimate-daughter status.
Lower class is forever lower class.â
Daisy Zane continued to silently look at her.
âIf I were you, I wouldnât be flaunting my status in the industry, letting everyone know.â
âEveryone knows, isnât it all because of you?â As Daisy Zane spoke, she glanced at Clarissa Mason.
Clarissa Mason seemed to feel her heart stop for a moment under her gaze.
âYouâ¦â Olivia Chester said, âitâs not your turn to make a move yet.â
Daisy Zane let out a light laugh.
Just as she said this, there was a commotion at the entrance. George Dunn arrived, dressed in sportswear, looking fresh and neat, just like a college student.
Everyone envied and admired the favorite male lead of Catherine God and Edward Monk.
Even all the big shots present there went to greet him.
The path George had to follow to enter was right where they were standing. So, nobody moved; they simply watched George exchange polite conversation with the people around him.
Olivia Chester intentionally waved Amelia Miles over.
Amelia Miles walked over, looked at Daisy Zane, and nodded politely to her. Then, she turned her gaze to George Dunn.
Everyone knew, if they could get a referral from George Dunn, that could mean double the result with half the effort.
George Dunn soon came over.
Olivia Chester went up to him to greet him: âBest Actor Dunn, itâs been quite a while.â
George Dunn first looked at Daisy Zane and others, then smiled and said, âSister Chester, itâs indeed been a quite a while. Youâre getting younger by the day.â
âBest Actor Dunn surely knows how to flatter.â
âIâm just being honest.â George Dunn spoke, glancing at Amelia Miles behind Olivia Chester, âSister Chester, youâve brought a newcomer with you? Sheâs really attractive. Your eye for talent never falters.â
âWhat newcomer?â Olivia Chester pulled Amelia Miles to her side, âSheâs my goddaughter. A dancer from the Truro Dance Theatre. Doesnât the call for actors this time ask for a background in dance? So I brought her here. Her name is Amelia Miles.â
George Dunn, of course, understood their intentions. But he said, âSo itâs Sister
Chesterâs goddaughter, no wonder she is so excellent. Nice to meet you, Miss
Miles.â
âNice to meet you, Best Actor Dunn, â Amelia Miles shook hands with him.
âConsidering Miss Milesâs qualifications, Director Morris will definitely notice her.â George Dunn kindly said, âTheyâre about to start inside, I need to go and have a look.â
âAlright, go ahead with your work,â Olivia Chester said in a familiar tone.
George Dunn nodded at the two of them, and under their watchful gaze, walked over to Daisy Zane and her group.
âDaisy, I was starting to think you wouldnât come.â George Dunnâs tone was noticeably less polite, more like a casual conversation between friends.
He genuinely enjoyed performing opposite Daisy Zane, not just because of her voice, but also because the two of them worked extremely well together.
In all these years, he had never come across an actor with such a rapport. âHow could I dare not come when Best Actor Dunn personally invites me?â
âYouâre flattering me again,â George Dunn said, âCome on, let me introduce you to Director Morris.â
Although their voices were not loud, Olivia Chester and her group heard them.
Olivia Chesterâs face immediately fell.
Clarissa Mason tugged at her sleeve, swearing under her breath, âWhat a vixen. She only had a show with George Dunn, and already hooked him. I bet she got this role by spreading her legs.â
Amelia Miles lowered her gaze, squeezing her own hand tightly, but remained silent.
âShut your mouth!â Olivia Chester glared at Clarissa Mason, directing her anger at her, âYouâve been sleeping with that producer for so long, and got nothing out of it. Youâre the last person who should talk.â
âShut it!â
Clarissa Mason closed her mouth in frustration..
