Chapter 58 Change The Actress
She thought, "No way!"
"This play needs the investment of 400 million dollars! How can he let Clarissa play the leading role? She has no experience in acting!"
"Freddie won't do it unless he is crazy!"
Lara thought that it was possible. Although Clarissa's performance just now was really good, she thought that it was all because of her.
So, she didn't think much.
Instead, she said to Freddie in a coquettish tone, "Director Jordan, you keep praising Clarissa and forget me."
It was only then that Freddie noticed her. He smiled and said, "Your performance is also good. Oh, what's wrong with your face?"
Seeing that he finally noticed her face, Lara forced a smile.
"Nothing. Clarissa slapped me just now. I'm... fine."
Clarissa looked at her and said with a smile, "I'm sorry. I was too immersed in my acting just now and I slapped you by accident. But in fact, what I did made you generate real empathy better. Lara, am I right?"
Clarissa said the words that Lara had just said to Evelyn word by word.
Lara's face was a bit stiff.
By this time, Freddie finally sensed that there was something wrong with the two of them.
Their conversation... was full of hostility!
However, they were sisters. Even if there was a grudge between them, it had nothing to do with him.
Therefore, he eased the situation and said with a smile, "This is the first time for Clarissa to act, so she's inexperienced. Lara, please don't mind it. The audition is over, and let's go back first. Clarissa, when are you free to take her to sign the contract?"
Clarissa smiled and said, "Anytime."
"Then I'll call you this afternoon."
"Okay."
After that, Clarissa left with Evelyn.
At the same time, Lara was a little suspicious in her heart when she looked at Freddie's happy face.
She asked uneasily, "Director Jordan, you asked Clarissa about this play just now. Do you have any idea about it?"
Freddie glanced at her.
To be honest, if Clarissa didn't perform just now, Lara was indeed the only person in the entertainment circle who was suitable for the role Ava.
But it seemed that she had done a very good job in playing Myra!
Ava was indifferent and calm, and Lara was more suitable for playing Myra, because Myra looked weak and was scheming in her heart.
However, the matter had not been settled yet. Freddie did not dare say anything else, in case that he would not be able to get anything in the end.
Therefore, he smiled and said, "No, don't think too much. Go home and study the play more. Don't always focus on one role and spend more time analyzing the minds of other people. It will be helpful to you."
Lara thought Freddie meant that analyzing other people would be helpful for her to play Ava more well.
She did not think too much and nodded in agreement.
As soon as the audition was over and everyone left, Freddie went to Jordan Group with his computer.
The biggest investor of this play was Energence International Crop.
In other words, it was Anderson.
When Freddie came to find Anderson with his computer, Anderson happened to be having lunch.
He was so busy with work. When there were no outsiders, Anderson usually asked David to order takeout and he would eat in the office.
Therefore, when Freddie arrived, he happened to see Anderson sitting on the sofa and eating takeout.
He walked over in a hurry and said with a smile, "Hi, Uncle Anderson, are you having your lunch?"
Anderson looked up at him and continued to eat.
"What's the matter?"
"Let's talk about it after you finish eating. It's no hurry."
As he spoke, he sat down on the single sofa in front of Anderson with the computer in his arms.
Anderson was picky about food. After coming to Visstead, apart from the meals made by Pattie, he only ate the food cooked by Historic Mountain Resort.
So, David would send someone to get the food at noon every day.
People in the restaurant would pack the food with a thermal insulation box. When the food was delivered, the color and taste wouldn't change.
Freddie looked at the delicious food in front of him and swallowed hungrily.
Her stomach growled.
He had been busy since early in the morning. He had several auditions in the morning. It was already 12:30 p.m., and he hadn't had lunch yet!
However, he did not dare act recklessly in front of Anderson.
Anderson looked at him again and saw that he was staring at the dishes on the table, and his saliva almost flowed out of the corner of his mouth.
He was amused in his heart, but his expression didn't change. He just raised his hand and called David.
"David, get someone to bring in another set of tableware."
Freddie was stunned. Realizing that Anderson wanted to eat with him, he waved his hand in a hurry.
"No... Uncle Anderson, I... have eaten my lunch!"
"Oh, David, put the tableware back! There's no need."
Freddie was speechless.
He didn't really mean that.
He didn't expect that Anderson would take his word seriously.
Freddie felt really helpless.
A minute later, when David came in with a brand new set of tableware, he suddenly understood.
He turned to look at Anderson, and Anderson smiled mischievously.
Freddie took the tableware and said with some embarrassment, "Uncle Anderson, thank you so much."
In fact, Anderson had almost finished his meal. Freddie was his distant nephew. Although Freddie was nearly 20 years older than him, he couldn't let Freddie wait for him hungrily.
He put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a tissue and said, "Take out the trash after eating. I'm going to take a nap."
As he spoke, he walked to the lounge inside.
Seeing this, Freddie quickly got up.
"Wait... a minute."
Anderson turned around.
Freddie swallowed the food in his mouth in a hurry. He didn't even want to eat. He walked to Anderson hurriedly with his computer.
"Uncle Anderson, I have something to discuss with you."
Anderson frowned, "What is it?"
"I want to change an actor!"
......
Then, Freddie put the computer on the table, clicked on the recording of the scene this morning and then turned the screen to Anderson.
"I swear that I am serious. This actress is really amazing! She is not only powerful, but also very beautiful! The most important thing is that she is exactly the same as Ava in my mind!
"She has everything I need and she only needs a chance. If you can let her sign with Energence International Crop and let her play the leading role, I promise that she will definitely become famous! In the future, she will definitely become the most valuable money-spinner!"
Anderson did not speak, and his eyes were fixed on the screen motionlessly.
On the screen, the woman in the black armor looked indifferent. Her movements were nimble and her eyes were determined, as if Ava really existed in this world. Her performance was shocking and touching!
At the end of the video, Ava was walking out of the palace door.
Under the sunset glow, she looked so lonely and strong, and her back was like a straight green pine tree. She had lost her family, but she had become so powerful!
After the video was finished, Freddie looked at Anderson expectantly, "What do you think?"
