Chapter 238


    Meanwhile, Denise and Sharon had just arrived at the set.


    Upon getting out of the car, they saw a bunch of kids about the same age as Denise leaving the


    building.


    Every one of them looked incredibly cute and pretty.


    “Ms. Sharon, are they here to audition for the role as well?” Denise asked.


    Sharon adjusted her sunsses like a celebrity and nced at them. “Yeah, that''s right. What''s the


    matter? Are you nervous?”


    Denise didn''t seem to mind, though. “I''m all right, I guess,” she said with a smile.


    As expected of a child from a wealthy


    family! She''s so calm andposed!


    With that in mind, Sharon smiled as she said, “That''s good to hear. You have nothing to be nervous


    about, Denise. In fact, this role was tailored for you. The director had decided to let you have it after


    seeing your


    ? X. ”


    picture.


    “If that''s the case, why would he have all these other peoplee audition for it?” Denise asked.


    “Um... Well, there are certain procedures that he needs to follow. Besides, he also needs to make


    sure you can adapt to your role. Most importantly, there''s a possibility that your picture was edited,”


    Sharon replied.


    Denise nodded even though she didn''t really understand what she said.


    There were quite a lot of people inside the building. Despite being busy carrying the props and


    equipment around, they all greeted Sharon upon seeing her. “Hello, Ms. Saunders!”


    Sharon simply nodded at them in response as she led Denise into a room in the back.

    They saw the director sitting in that spacious room with his legs crossed as he went through a stack


    of photographs. “What the heck is this? None of these are suitable! Get me another batch! I need to


    find one that suits this role perfectly!”


    “We''ve already gone through a few batches, sir. I''ve looked everywhere, and this is thest batch


    we have. You need to make a decision now, or we won''t be able to start shooting on schedule. The


    sponsors won''t be happy—”


    “That''s your problem! If you want me to direct your film, then you''ll do things my way. I''d rather give


    up on this film if I couldn''t find a suitable candidate!”


    Realizing that the director had gotten angry, the assistant director quickly calmed him down by


    saying, “Yes, sir! I''ll start looking right away!”


    “What''s the matter? Are you still struggling to find a suitable candidate?” Sharon asked with a smile


    as she entered the room.


    The director calmed down when he saw that it was Sharon.


    “Hi, Ms. Saunders! I''ll leave you two be while I go look for more candidates!” said the assistant


    director.


    He had just taken a few steps toward the door when he bumped into


    Denise, who was wearing a fancy hat thatplemented her short bangs and shiny eyes.


    The assistant director''s eyes were glued to Denise after seeing how pretty she looked.


    This girl is beautiful! Wait, why does she look so familiar? She looks like... Oh, my goodness! She''s


    the one the director has been looking for! She looks just like the character from the show!


    “Sir! Sir!” the assistant director shouted excitedly.


    The director looked up in annoyance. “What is it this time?”


    The assistant director pointed at Denise. “L-Look!”


    The director shifted his gaze toward Denise impatiently, only to freeze in shock when he got a closer


    look at


    her.


    Everything about her outfit and her appearance matched his requirements for the role perfectly.


    The director then ran up to Denise and eyed her from head to toe.


    “Yes, she''s the one! The search is over! She''s exactly what I''m looking for!” he eximed excitedly.


    Denise frowned slightly in confusion as she eyed him from head to toe.


    Feeling relieved that he wouldn''t have to dy the filming process, the director asked, “What''s your


    name, little girl?”


    “Denise Watson!”


    “Who brought you here, Denise?”


    Denise shifted her gaze toward


    Sharon, who was standing behind her.


    “Are you satisfied with her, sir?” Sharon asked as she made her way over.


    “You''re the one who brought her over?” the director asked.


    Sharon nodded. “I showed you her picture a while back, remember?”


    “The one you showed me was a side view of her face. How do you expect me to recognize her with


    that? Now that I have seen her in person, I can confirm that she''s the ideal candidate for this role!”


    the director said after a brief pause.


    I knew it. Even my manager thought Denise looked a lot like the character, so I figured the director


    would feel the same.


    With that in mind, Sharon said, “There is one problem, though. She has no experience in acting, nor


    has she done any form of roleying.”


    “It''s fine. Kids are natural actors and actresses anyway! It won''t be an issue as long as she loves


    acting. We can teach her everything she needs to know.” The director then turned toward Denise as


    he continued, “Denise, do you like acting?”


    Denise nodded with a smile. “I''ve never tried it, but I am quite interested and would love to give it a


    shot!”


    The director arched an eyebrow at her in response. “How about we let you try acting out a scene?”


    Denise nodded. “Sure! What do I have to do?”


    As the theme of the show was about urban teenagers, Denise''s outfit matched her character''s quite


    well, so there was no need for her to change into a costume.


    “Can you read?” the director asked.


    “Yes, I can!” Denise replied with a nod.


    “Here, take a look at this. All I need you to do is act this scene out based on your understanding of


    the script,” the director said while handing her a script.


    Denise took it over from him and began reading through it.


    “Feel free to ask any of us here if youe across words that you don''t understand,” the director


    added.


    Denise simply smiled at him before continuing to read the script. Although they were raised


    overseas, Natasha had hired someone to teach them Chanaean as soon as they were able to talk.


    For some reason, the three of them developed a strong interest in it and were able to pick it up


    really quickly.


    As such, the words written on the script were a piece of cake for her.


    After memorizing the script, Denise nodded and said, "I''m ready! Where do I act this scene out?”


    Whoa, that was fast! Is she pulling my leg?


    The director shot Sharon a doubtful nce as he replied, “Um... You can just do it on the stage!”


    Denise nodded and went up the stage while the director, assistant director, and Sharon took their


    seats.


    Being the one who vouched for Denise, Sharon felt incredibly nervous as Denise''s performance


    would affect her reputation.


    “Try to rx, Denise! You don''t have any experience in acting, so it''s perfectly understandable if you


    don''t get everything perfect!” Sharon had deliberately said that in front of the director, but he simply


    kept his eyes on the stage and ignored herpletely.


    Denise shed them a smile in response before channeling her emotions.
