Chapter 377
Spoiled by the President
With that in mind, she politely answered, âHello, Iâm here for an audition. My name is Lucy Katz.â
Lucy was not that big in the industry, albeit she was not unknown either. In general, she was an actress somewhere between the B to C list.
Nevertheless, she kept a low profile and mostly accepted shows that were internal resources of Anning International. Hence, outsiders within the entertainment industry knew little of her.
Sitting on a chair, a plump man lifted his head and gave her the side glance before vaguely nodding.
âOkay, take a seat! Itâll soon be your turn.â
âSure.â
As Lucy took a seat within reach, she noticed two girls following the director into a bedroom inside, leaving her alone with the cameraman.
There was a hint of awkwardness in the air.
For some reason, Lucy felt uneasy since coming into this room.
She had a weird hunch.
She took a glance at the cameraman who was smoking. The latter blew a smoke ring and smiled at her.
âAre you scared?â
Lucy was taken aback. âHuh?â
The cameraman grinned. âI know you. You were great in the dramas.â
âOh, haha, thanks for the compliment.â
Lucy did not know what to say, even her smile seemed rather unnatural. After a pause, she asked out of curiosity, âAre they auditioning in there?â
âYeah.â
âWhy arenât you in there? Donât you need to film it?â
âNope.â
The manâs brief answers implied his unwillingness to engage in further conversation.
All the more Lucy was left unsettled and curious. Although she had sensed something amiss, she was too embarrassed to enquire.
About ten minutes later, the two girls finally came out.
As it was summer, these girls only had a simple T-shirt or blouse on but they appeared disheveled when they emerged out of the room.
One of the girls, red in the face, straightened up her clothes in a scurry. The pair looked shy and flustered as they left in a hurry.
Just as Lucy watched in doubt, the directorâs voice was heard from the bedroom.
âYou, come in!â
Throwing a glance at the cameraman, Lucy was able to ascertain from his eyes that she was called. She then hummed in expression and entered the room.
With the curtains down, the bedroom was dimmed with only a faint table lamp lit.
The director leaned back against a sofa in the corner with his legs crossed, puffing a cigarette.
He waved his hand and squinted his eyes as she came in, and said, âTake off your clothes!â
âHuh?â
Lucy froze there.
The director frowned unhappily.
âWhat are you standing there for? Take it off! How would I know your figure is up to standard if you donât take off your clothes? The female lead role being auditioned today has a lot of scenes in a bikini so the body figure is most crucial.â
Having snapped out of it, Lucy realized the reason why the two girls came out red in the face.
She too, blushed and stammered, âI-I... Canât I...â
The furrow between the directorâs brows deepened.
Lucy was put on a spot, not because the female lead had to put on a bikini but because Susan had never told her this beforehand.
Normally, if the shoot had this type of scene as an audition, several people would be auditioned together to avoid arousing suspicion. By doing so, everyone would not feel awkward and secondly, it ensured the safety of actresses.
However, apart from the cameraman outside, the director was the only one present in the room.
Seeing that she remained motionless, the director chided in disgruntlement, âAre you taking your clothes off or not? Donât bother auditioning if you arenât. There are still other candidates after your turn.â
Lucy bit her lip. Unwilling to disgrace her company, she gritted her teeth. âCan I change into a bodysuit? The figure can be seen from a bodysuit.â
The director smirked in annoyance.
âWhy donât you say youâll wear thermal clothing to shoot then? Is this your first day in the industry? How can you be an actress being this self-
conscious? Donât waste my time if you donât want to audition, get lost!â
With that, he flipped through the name list and shouted, âNext.â
Soon, a young and beautiful girl walked into the room.
With Lucy shoved aside, the girl flat-out removed her clothes, leaving only her underwear on. All smiles, she twirled around in the front of the director as though Lucy and the director were invisible.
Lucy stood there blushing while the director narrowed his eyes, ogling her body and nodding.
âNot bad, you stay! Come join the shoot three days later.â
âReally? Thank you, director!â
Overjoyed, the girl complied. The director waved her over. âCome here!â
She approached and soon the director replied in satisfaction, âOkay, done. You can leave now!â
That girl thought nothing of it. She put on her clothes and enthusiastically left.
Lucy had a clear view of the director pinching his fingertips and mumbled to himself after she was gone.
She was in shock!
It had turned her world upside down!
That lecherous eyes and tone of voice seemed to disregard her presence in the room.
As color drained from her face, Lucy felt sick to her stomach.
âSorry, Iâm not going to audition. Iâll be leaving now.â
She informed and departed in a rush. The director did not stop her and instead, snorted in disdain.
Nowadays, some people were delusional to think that they could remain virtuous just because they were a little popular.
Sure, she was blessed with good luck this time but she would know what was reality when she hit a wall one too many times.
With many beautiful girls dying to get into entertainment, the industry was not short of her alone. Hence why the director had never resorted to violence.
Without adopting any means, there were already countless girls trying to get into his bed for a fighting chance, much less those that he expressed interest in.
His eyes alighted with a glint at that thought. He then glanced through the name list for that girlâs information and gave a call to his assistant.
âHello, thereâs a girl named Lulu who auditioned today. Have her come to my room tonight.â
...
After Lucy had left the hotel, she went straight back to the shoot.
When Susan called her to ask about the situation in the afternoon, Lucy told her the truth.
Susan was unaware that it would end up like this.
She apologetically said, âSorry, a friend of mine recommended this job. I didnât know it'd be like this. I heard that you needed the money so I thought you should try out since the pay is good. Itâs best not to go if thatâs the case.â
Lucy nodded. Struck by a thought, she quickly added. âDid you tell anyone that Iâm strapped for cash?â
Susan seemed occupied as her voice was faint. âIâm not nosy. Why would I tell anyone else?â
Lucy finally let out a sigh of relief.
