Chapter 22


    Chapter 22 The Chief Director


    In the president''s office, Maria began to walk them through the script.She articted the story clearly in


    an unhurried tone.


    Through her narration, every character in the script seemed toe alive, turning from words on a


    page to real people with flesh and blood.


    When she finally finished her words, she grabbed the mug in front of her and took a sip of coffee.


    Only then did she notice that the usually stone-faced Lyndsey was dabbing at her tears with a tissue.


    After crying for a long time, Lyndsey spoke in a solemn tone as if she was making a sacred vow.


    "Don''t worry, Mia.I''ll y the role of Anne well and won''t let you down."


    Jeremy, who was standing aside, couldn''t help but roll his eyes secretly.


    Didn''t Lyndsey just tell him that she wanted to y the role of the leading man? How could she change


    her mind so soon? Unbothered by Jeremy''s reaction, Lyndsey sat upright like a primary school student


    and raised her hand to ask Maria questions about the script and the characters.


    Meanwhile, Jeremy carefully took notes, sighing appreciatively every once in a while at how deep and


    detailed Maria''s exnations were.иσν???вσσк.￠σмHer storytelling was so immersive that Jeremy


    even believed that he could now personally direct this y.


    "Transfer the payment for the script to my designated bank ount within three days.If there is nothing


    else, I''ll take my leave now," Maria said indifferently.


    "Okay, no problem!" Jeremy replied.


    Then, after a moment, he added, "How about I send you a list of promising candidates after today''s


    audition? You can have a look first and then we can decide the actors for each role together."


    Jeremy had the final say on Yeez Entertainment''s affairs.No one in thepany dared to question his


    authority.


    But if he had the opportunity, he would dly hand over thepany to Maria and be her loyal


    follower.


    Jeremy''s words ignited Lyndsey''s excitement in an instant.


    Nodding fervently, she suggested, "The auditions are on the first floor.Why don''t you go and take a look


    now? It''s better to watch them in person than read thementster."


    Maria had never interfered in the management of Yeez Entertainment before.


    The casting of The Legend of Anne had never even registered in her mind as an important event.


    However, it just so happened that her schedule for today waspletely free, apart from the "date"


    with Anthony.иσν???вσσк.￠σм


    Since the engagement with Anthony was maintained, she was more or less idle now.


    "Okay, why not? I just so happen to be free," Maria agreed.


    Shoving his surprise aside, Jeremy hurriedly said, "Please wait a moment.I will inform the audition staff


    to arrange the main seat for you!"


    The author of the story was personally going to the casting spot.Who was more qualified to sit in the


    main seat other than her? Even Jeremy wasn''t more qualified, let alone the director of the crew.


    "Don''t bother.I''ll just stand in a corner and watch," Maria said firmly, shaking her head.


    Only then did it ur to Jeremy that Mia always kept a low profile.He med himself for being so


    careless.


    "Got it.Please wait a moment.I''ll call the director and ask him to let you in."


    The director of The Legend of Anne, Francis Jackson, was the most experienced director in Yeez


    Entertainment.


    Many film and television schools around the country had appointed him as a lifelong honorary


    professor.


    Francis was sixty years old already.He used to be an obscure director of avant-garde films.It was not


    until he signed a contract with Yeez Entertainment and directed The Mountains, the novel adaptation of


    Maria''s first novel, that he had be a household name.


    However, Francis had no idea who the legendary Mia really was or how she looked.


    "Hello, Francis.Are you at the audition?" Jeremy asked on the phone.


    "I''m sending someone over there.She wants to observe the casting process.Just let her in and do


    whatever she wants.Don''t disturb her, understand?"


    A flicker of unhappiness crossed Francis''s eyes.He was a stubborn man.His pursuit of the art of filming


    bordered on madness.


    And there was nothing Francis hated more than the hidden rules of the entertainment industry.


    When he directed a movie, he would make every decision from an artistic perspective.


    Words like favoritism and nepotism were not in his dictionary.


    When he heard Jeremy''s ambiguous words on the phone, he immediately assumed that there was


    some actress who wanted to bypass the audition and get a role in The Legend of Anne.

    "Fine, send her over," Francis said coldly.


    "However, Mr.Bradley, I have to let you know in advance that I have my own standards of casting for


    each role.Don''t think of forcing me to cast any Dick and Harry you want.You''d have to fire me before


    you do that!"
