Chapter 55 Hit Evelyn
As she said that, she swung the whip fiercely in the air.
A crisp sound sounded and Lola was startled.
Maybe she was really scared, and maybe she was nervous, but she actually stuttered and forgot the lines.
"If you dare hurt them, I..."
She forgot what to say next.
Lola's face was a little pale, and Freddie frowned in the audience seat.
Lara's looked a little unhappy.
She had spent a lot of effort to persuade Freddie to let Lola play the role. But they had a contender, and Lola let her down!
The reason why she helped Lola was not because she waned to treat her well. It was just because she had been working in the entertainment circle alone all these years, and she was more or less isolated and helpless.
Lola was not only her cousin, but she also signed with her studio. Even if Lola became famous, she was under her control.
Moreover, Lola was able to deal with many things that she was inconvenient to do. To Lara, Lola was a really good tool.
Thinking of this, Lara turned her head to Freddie and said with a smile, "Lola has always treated acting seriously. It is the first time for her to act in your play and she is too nervous."
Freddie's face was a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything.
He showed respect for Lara.
Behind them, Clarissa smiled silently.
She knew that Evelyn had defeated Lola before she performed.
This was because of the difference in their strength.
Finally, Lola remembered the lines and stammered to finish the last half of the play.
But as for whether she was suitable for this character or not, everyone had their own answers.
Next, it was Evelyn's turn.
Lara lowered her head slightly and suddenly said as if she had thought of something, "Director Jordan, I've been acting for so long, but I've never experienced of acting as a nanny! How about letting me be her partner?"
Freddie frowned. Subconsciously, he didn't think it was a good idea.
However, he had no way to refuse Lara, and he could only look up at Evelyn.
"What do you think?"
Evelyn was also a little surprised.
However, even Freddie couldn't refuse Lara, not to mention her. She was just a junior.
She could only nod, "Okay."
Lara smiled.
After changing her clothes, she sat on the chair.
Erica, played by Evelyn, was also taken up by several strong men.
Compared to Lola's exaggerated and unnatural performance, she was more reserved and calmer.
With a pair of resentful eyes, she stared at the nanny who was sitting there. Although she did not speak, her furious eyes showed that she was very angry.
The nanny said coldly, "I heard that you don't want to learn to dance?"
Erica knelt on the ground. Although her hands were tied up, she raised her head high.
She said coldly word by word, "I'm the princess of my country. I would definitely not dance for anyone? You can kill me, but you can never let me give in!"
She gritted her teeth in anger when she said the last four words.
She said with the courage and determination to die.
Crack!
She was struck with a whip.
With a muffled sound, Erica was so painful that she trembled all over.
In the audience, Clarissa's face suddenly changed.
Just now, when Lola was performing, although she was also struck with the whip, the whip hit the ground.
Therefore, although the voice sounded very loud, she was not hit.
However, Lara struck Evelyn with the whip!
Evelyn didn't expect that Lara would suddenly hit her. She looked at Lara in surprise, but Lara was saying the following lines.
She felt a burning pain on her arm and her expression changed, but she quickly came to sense and calmed down.
Gritting her teeth, she glared at the nanny with resentment and blew a raspberry at her, "Bah!"
"Ha! I can't teach you a lesson, but I can teach someone else a lesson! Bring them here!"
Still, no one came up.
Compared to Lola's panicky expression, Evelyn was obviously well prepared.
Even if she had no partner, she performed with emotions.
She looked at the air with her face full of anger and distress. Her mad eyes were filled with endless pain and determination, but there was also a trace of helplessness to be controlled by others.
"Since you treat my people like this, if I free myself one day, I would definitely cut you into pieces to repay your sin!"
Her angry roar sounded on the stage, and Erica was taken away by a group of strong men.
The audition was over.
There was a burst of applause from the audience.
Clarissa stood up and smiled at Freddie, "Director Jordan, what do you think? Does Evelyn let you down?"
There was a smile on Freddie's face as he nodded with approval.
"Well, very good. Her acting skill is very flexible. Even in the face of emergencies, she can quickly respond. She is very potential."
Clarissa blinked her eyes and looked at Lara, who was walking back from the stage.
"I'm sorry, Director Jordan. I was too immersed in my acting just now and I hit Evelyn by accident."
Freddie waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, but you have to be careful in the future. Although we need to generate real empathy, we have to be sensible and protect the safety of the actors."
Lara smiled, "Director Jordan, you're right."
As she said this, she turned to look at Clarissa.
"Congratulations, Clarissa. You get this role for your actress."
Clarissa looked at her and smiled with sarcasm.
"I heard that you won the award last year and I always thought that your acting has improved! But you even forgot what you were doing when you were acting with a junior actress. It seems that your acting skill is just so so."
Lara's face froze.
At this time, Lola and Evelyn had changed their clothes and came out.
Lara took a deep breath and said with a smile, "I understand that you care about your actress so much. But in fact, what I did made her generate real empathy better. Evelyn, am I right?"
As she spoke, she turned to look at Evelyn.
Evelyn glanced at Lara and then looked at Clarissa next to her.
Although she felt wronged in her heart, she was just an infamous actress. If she said too much, Clarissa would be in trouble.
She could only nod, "You're right."
Only then did Lara smile with satisfaction.
Seeing that Clarissa looked a little mad, Freddie eased the situation with a smile in a hurry.
"Well, since this matter has been settled, Clarissa, take her to my office to confirm the details of the contract when you're free. Lara, you need to spend more time on studying the play. The shooting will start next month, and we will try our best to shoot smoothly!"
Lara nodded, "Alright."
Clarissa rolled her eyes and suddenly said, "Director Jordan, I like the character Ava Lee so much. I've seen a scene of her fighting with her sister before. Can you let me have a try?"
Lola was not convinced because she couldn't play the role.
When she heard that Clarissa also wanted to perform, she said with disdain immediately, "You are not an actor. Why do you want to perform?"
"Can't I have a try? Lara has always been so kind to me. She won't mind being my partner! Lara, what do you think?"
Clarissa looked at Lara with a playful face.
