    Chapter 24 The Director Is Very Upset


    The auditions were held in a dance studio inside thepany that was over a thousand square feet in


    size.Theminated wooden floor was smooth and t.


    The panel of judges sat at the end of the room, in front of the wall.The other three walls of the studio


    werepletely covered with mirrors.


    Francis was watching the auditions with a long face.


    Actors walked up to the center of the room one after another and gave it their best shot, but none of


    their performances seemed to move the director.


    Francis''s face was so gloomy that some of the actors waiting in line wanted to quit right there and then.


    "I''ve heard that Mr.Jackson is the strictest director in the industry, but I didn''t expect him to be so


    scary..."


    "I know, right? The actress who just auditioned, Rita, won the Best Supporting Actress awardst year.I


    mean, to me it looked like she did a good job, but Mr.Jackson didn''t seem pleased at all.How could he


    not be impressed with her performance?"


    "Exactly! I''m still a student, and my acting skills are nowhere near Rita''s.I definitely have no hope.I''d


    better quit..."


    Tensions were on edge, and the actors in line whispered worriedly among themselves.


    Some of the more timid ones quietly decided to quit.


    By this time, Francis was quite vexed.He was waiting to see the audition of the actress rmended


    by Jeremy.


    Usually, people who wanted to get in through the back door would take the initiative to make a good


    impression on the director bying up to him and requesting for an audition in a ttering tone.


    Unfortunately, Maria did no such thing.


    Every now and then, Francis stole a nce at her out of the corner of his eye and found that she was


    just appreciating the performance of the other actors, as if she was a serious audience member or a


    professional judge.


    It was the same for the handsome young man standing next to her.иσν???вσσк.￠σм


    Aside from asionally whisperingments on the performance of the actors, he didn''t take any


    action.


    "Why hasn''t she asked me for a chance to audition yet?" Francis murmured moodily.


    He had watched countless actors audition since morning, but he still hadn''t found a suitable actress for


    the lead role.


    In fact, Jeremy had already hinted to Francis long ago that he should cast Lyndsey again for the lead


    role, which was not a bad idea.


    However, as a director who constantly pursued perfection, Francis still nursed hope that he could find


    an actress who was born to y the part of Anne Hade.It was only when Maria walked in that Francis


    found the woman who matched his expectations, at least in terms of appearance and temperament, to


    y the part of Anne.


    "If her acting skill is better than her appearance...No...As long as she has been trained in professional


    acting...No...As long as she has the willingness to learn, I can teach her slowly..."


    As the auditions droned on and Francis grew increasingly dissatisfied with the actors in front of him, he


    lowered his requirements for Maria again and again.

    In the end, Francis decided that as long as Maria worked hard and wanted to learn, then even if she


    was a neer who had never been trained in acting before, he would cast her for the lead role and


    personally teach her everything she needed to know about acting.


    While Francis was burning with anxiety, Maria seemed to be blissfully unaware of it.


    There were even several times when Francis noticed Maria ncing at the door with her toes pointed


    towards it.


    In order to improve his craft, Francis had studied a bit of psychology.


    Judging by Maria''s stance, he knew that she wanted to leave already.


    But how could she leave? No way! She hadn''t even changed into a costume and given her audition yet!


    Francis was really frustrated.


    When was this youngdy going to begin her performance? Didn''t she want to get in through the back


    door? What was she waiting for? Did she perhaps get scared after hearing Francis’ phone call with


    Jeremy just now?


    "Lyndsey, there are many actors who did a good job just now.I think they''re suitable for some of the


    supporting roles in the show.Please give this name list to Jeremy and Mr.Jackson for their reference."


    After stepping into the studio, Maria had watched the auditions of more than a hundred actors.


    Some of them were actors signed to Yeez Entertainment, some of them were experienced actors from


    otherpanies, and the rest were neers with great potential.


    Although none of them were good enough to be cast as the protagonists, Maria found a lot of them to


    be suitable to y the distinct supporting roles.


    Every time Maria mentioned an actor''s name and their possible corresponding role in the y, Lyndsey


    immediately made a note of it on her phone.


    While listening to Maria''s judgment, Lyndsey was secretly ecstatic.


    In her heart, she couldn''t help but squeal, "Mia is awesome!"
