Chapter 27 The Audition Of Maria
"You are...Waiting for me?"
Maria looked at the director in confusion, not really knowing what was going on.
Hearing this, Francis could only sigh and pull a long face.He had a reputation in the industry as a
known veteran and a multi-awarded director.
Now that he already swallowed his pride just to take the initiative to invite this girl to audition, why did
she still try to act dumb? "Fine.Yes, I am.Now, there''s a dressing room right next door.There are a total
of thirty-two sets of costumes for Anne.I want you to wear all of them and show me how they fit on you,
okay?"
With a solemn face, Francis added, "I know performing Anne''s part means a lot of pressure.Put your
game face onter.Don''t make the efforts of my other colleagues be in vain!"
In ys like this, the first ones who could achieve great sess were granted the lead parts.
Since the Legend of Anne had a wonderful script, major investment and a world-famous director, this
was the perfect stepping stone for an aspiring actress to rise to fame.
Upon hearing his demands, Maria furrowed her brows and thought about it seriously.However, it turned
out that she got it all wrong.

Obviously, she was being asked to do an audition, but she actually assumed that Francis wanted her to
demonstrate how Anne''s part should be portrayed.She supposed that since she was yet to hand over
the entire script to him, he might be having a hard time visualizing each character''s role.
Therefore, Francis must be asking for her help to get some pointers.
Thinking that his request was necessary for the sess of the show, Maria had a hard time refusing
him.
"Alright.Let me change into the costumes first," Maria said calmly and innocently.
On the other hand, Lyndsey blinked her eyes repeatedly, noticing that Francis and Maria didn''t realize
that they had fallen into a big misunderstanding.
However, she didn''t say anything to clear things up.
After all, she imagined that things should get much more interesting this way.
This was such a rare opportunity.
Maria herself would perform the heroine''s part, wearing those enchanting costumes.
How exciting this must be! The crew of the show spent a fortune to meticulously design thirty-two sets
of costumes for Anne''s role.
Once the actress who would y the character was finally selected, they would tailor them ording to
her actual build and figure.
It was said that the designs of these costumes were intricately based and patterned to the description
of the heroine''s clothes in the novel.
Therefore, Lyndsey could already imagine how stunning Maria would appear the moment she went on
stage wearing them.
The more she thought about it, the giddier she became.
She didn''t care if this was a mere misunderstanding.
The important thing was she could witness this breathtaking scene with her very own eyes.
Lyndsey was so fascinated with Maria to the point that she actually wanted to act as the main hero,
Richard, and y as her lover.
"Please wait a moment.I''ll be back soon."
Maria left for the dressing room without any suspicions at all.
"Yes! Yes! Take your time.We''ll be waiting for you!"
Francis nodded eagerly, showing a very satisfied smile.
At the same time, he asked a professional female dresser to assist Maria.
After all, those costumes were tooplicated for someone who had not seen them before to wear
them on their own.
However, when Maria saw the woman following her, she gently shook her head.
"It''s okay.I''m familiar with those clothes, so I can put them on myself." Maria spoke steadily.
There was no arrogance in her tone, but her confidence was genuine.
Overhearing this, Francis’ smile became bigger, crossing his arms over his chest.He was right about
this girl.
Not only was her appearance perfect, but it seemed that she had also done some preparations for this
audition.
"Excellent!"
With such a fine attitude and dedication, Francis was sure that she would be a splendid actress in
no time.He was so thrilled to see how she would look in the costumes that he felt she had been gone
for so long, but in reality it had only been a few minutes.
All of a sudden, an uproar reverberated in the studio.
When he turned his head, Francis felt as though he was dreaming that the Anne he had envisioned in
his head hade to life and was slowly walking toward him.
The moment Maria reached the center of the studio, everyone fell silent.
They couldn''t help but admire the magnificence that stood before them.She had absolutely embodied
the enchanting character of Anne.
In fact, the costume that Maria donned only appeared in the first scene—the birthday banquet.
It revolved around Richard''s birthday banquet where Anne would perform a dance for him.
Indeed, the costume designers seemed to have done a really good job since they perfectly reproduced
the outfit as they were described in the script.It was sublime.
However, the script didn''t mention anything about the shoes that Anne wore in the scene, so the
costume designers came up with several options.
The only problem left was that none of them satisfied Francis.
At this point, everyone''s eyes gravitated towards her shoes, only to find that she apparently paired her
perfect costume with bare feet.
Every time she moved around and touched the ground on her tiptoe, her lissome bearing ended up
charming everyone.It was actually much more befitting for Anne''s character since Maria really wrote
this scene with a vision that she danced at the banquet with bare feet.
"That''s it! Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!" Francis shouted as if he had a light- bulb moment.
What kind of shoes did Anne wear when she danced in this scene? This was a mystery that bothered
him for along time.
The script didn''t mention anything about it, but it also didn''t specify that she wore nothing.
But when he saw how Maria interpreted this scene, he didn''t expect that the issue could be instantly
solved this way.
Now, everything fell right into ce.It was perfect.
As a matter of fact, Francis had never been so satisfied before.
At the same time, the other actresses, who were yet to audition, immediately saw Maria as the biggest
hindrance for them in getting cast for the role.
But nheless, they stared at her, marveling at her gracefulness.
Most of them were dumbfounded by her charm, while some focused on the fear that they might lose to
her.
Then, there were also some who instantly thought of taking their phones out to secretly take a photo of
Maria.
However, their positions didn''t allow them to capture her photo from a good angle.
In the end, they could only get a shot of Maria’s back and the side of her face.
