The Whole World Seems To Be Falling For My Wife

Chapter 24

Chapter 24 The Director Is Very Upset

The auditions were held in a dance studio inside the company that was over a thousand square feet in size.The laminated wooden floor was smooth and flat.

The panel of judges sat at the end of the room, in front of the wall.The other three walls of the studio were completely 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 award last 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 recommended 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 by coming up to him and requesting for an audition in a flattering tone.

Unfortunately, Maria did no such thing.

Every now and then, Francis stole a glance 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.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм

Aside from occasionally whispering comments 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 play 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 play 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 newcomer 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 glancing 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 young lady 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 other companies, and the rest were newcomers 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 play the distinct supporting roles.

Every time Maria mentioned an actor's name and their possible corresponding role in the play, 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!"novelbin
