Chapter 172

“Me?” Stella did not even realize he was talking to her.

After she snapped back to attention, she said in disbelief, “I’m just here to accompany Ruby for the

audition, and don’t have any prior experience. I definitely don’t belong to associated professions either”

The director cut her off mid-sentence, “I know, I heard about your background from the assistant. You are

a dance teacher, aren’t you?”

Stella nodded as the director went on, “The barriers to entry in acting is considered low. Many

outstanding actors began from nothing. I was the one who groomed last year’s best male actor from

scratch. He started out with zero acting experience, too.”

Bradley Lane was known to be an eccentric, albeit famous director. However, having been in the industry

for long, he had long learned how to sweet-talk and be persuasive. He said as convincingly as he could,

“As much as the entertainment circle isn’t as aggressive as it was before, many people find a lot more

things from it than from elsewhere. Be it reputation, status, or money, it will far exceed what you can ever

imagine earning as a dance teacher.”

Stella understood his point perfectly well.

However, she did not think that she had to run heedlessly toward any attractive opportunity that fell from

the sky.

Not everyone is suited for the industry, and she knew herself too well.

“I’m sorry, director. I do not think that I have talent in this area.”

Seeing her insistence, Bradley didn’t push further. With a wave of his hand, he said, “This is my contact

details. Contact me anytime after you think things through.”

He was rather disappointed, with the supporting female role still nowhere in sight and Guinevere being

so tough to manage. Now that he finally managed to find someone suitable for the role, the person in

question was unwilling.

That way, the entire schedule had to be pushed back, and what he needed to do next was framing

He made sure to find actual scenes and not reproduce them through post-production, which would only

be less impressive on the big screen.

The season was about to be over. If he was still unable to find a candidate for the supporting female role

that was to Guinevere’s satisfaction, he would have no way of framing the scene during this season.

He would be left with two options: Wait another year or rely on post-production. Bradley had always

pursued realistic scenes ever since he entered the industry, and naturally would hate to tarnish his own

reputation. This movie was a mega production. He would never choose to do shoddy work which would

be clear in the viewers’ eyes. At the sight of Stella taking her leave with Ruby in tow, Bradley decided

that he would not give up and shot his assistant director a look.

The assistant director immediately caught the hint and after walking Stella to the door, he asked, “Do you

want to try it one more time? Are you in a hurry to get home?” Stella glanced at her watch, hesitating at

his question.

The assistant director, having been in the entertainment circle for a while, was good at reading people.

He immediately caught on her hesitation and said, “The audition won’t take you much time, so why don’t

you just give it a go? Sometimes, you can’t tell an actor’s potential until he stands right before the

camera.”

Ruby didn’t really understand what his words meant, but the moment she heard about the possibility of

Stella auditioning, she tugged at Stella’s sleeves and said, “Ms. Steele, why don’t you give it a try? That

way, both of us can report to the crew together after our class!

Stella wasn’t exactly enthusiastic to try out for the audition, but it sounded like a great excuse for

returning late.

She exhaled and said, “Alright, then. I’ll give it a go.”

The assistant director’s eyes lit up and he immediately ran to the director to inform him.

The director looked extremely pleased as he waved at Stella, “Come over. Let me tell you how you

should act the scene out.”

Stella nodded and walked to his side as she listened seriously to his explanation.
