Chapter 541 Maybe I Have An Average Face
Corrine looked in Eliza's direction and smiled provocatively at her.
Graciana was so angry that she stared at her with red eyes.
Corrine, on the other hand, did not care about her at all. She turned around and sat down in the most eye-catching position.
Eliza commented, "There's no need to be angry. It seems that she regained her confidence again after what had happened."
She didn't know the embarassment she was going to face.
However, Roseane frowned and said, "There's something wrong with Corrine. Why does she suddenly look like she's determined to win?"
With a ding-dong sound, Eliza's phone rang.
Eliza picked it up and looked at it with a smile in her eyes.
"It doesn't matter. Beau has cleared the obstacles for us. We just need to show off our acting skills."
With Eliza's words, everyone relaxed.
Three minutes later, a staff member came over and announced that the audition would begin in ten minutes. He asked everyone to draw lots and they went for their audition accordingly.
Eliza and Roseane went forward to get their numbers. One of them got number eleven while the other got number fifteen.
They didn't have to wait for long before they could go back for a rest.
They had to go for the audition in a group of five this time. Eliza and Roseane were in the second group.
Coincidentally, Corrine was also in the second group. She was behind Eliza, No. 12.
When she learned of the results of the draw, Eliza began to doubt if this order had been arranged in advance. Otherwise, how could it have been so coincidental?
Corrine and Alyssa looked at each other secretly.
They had arranged this in advance. They asked the producer to arrange for her and Eliza to be in the same group and made sure that she would get the number behind Eliza.
Only after a precise comparison could the audience know the gap between their acting skills.
Corrine wanted to watch Eliza's performance so that she could adjust her own way of acting.
She believed that she would definitely be able to defeat Eliza. She hoped that the director and screenwriter would not be able to side with Eliza and that she could obtain the role of Ingrid.
The first group of people entered the room for an audition. Eliza and the others sat on the chair at the door in order.
Corrine sat next to Eliza. Seeing that Eliza was calm, she couldn't help but sneer. "Look at how calm you are. Do you think that you'll surely get the female lead role?"
Eliza replied, "How can I be as calm as you? You should be more confident, right?"
Corrine snorted and said, "We have our own means."
Eliza smiled kindly. "Then let's wait and see who will win."
Seeing her annoying smile, Corrine couldn't help sneering in her heart.
Let's see how long you can be proud of yourself!
Twenty minutes later, the first group of actors and actresses all came out with pale faces.
As soon as they came out, Graciana went over and asked, "How is it? Was it difficult?"
The actress, whose arm was grabbed by Graciana, smiled bitterly. "What do you think?"
How easy could it be when Mr. Jones was there?
Graciana knew the answer to her own question. She turned her head and made a gesture of encouragement to Eliza and the others, then watched them enter the room for the audition.
She was too focused, and she accidentally stepped on the foot of the person behind her.
She turned around and saw that it was Haya. Her eyes widened. "You're also in group two?"
Haya shook her head. "I'm in group three."
Graciana nodded and said casually, "All the best."
Haya sneered and shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks. "Thank you."
For some reason, Graciana suddenly felt a sense of familiarity from Haya. But when she looked at her carefully, she found that her face was completely strange.
Haya looked innocent and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Graciana shook her head. "Have we seen each other before?"
"Have we?" Haya touched her face and smiled embarrassedly. "Maybe I have an average face, or maybe we really met somewhere before."
Eliza knew nothing about what had happened outside.
After they came in, they saw six mahogany tables in the middle of the room. There were five people sitting upright behind the tables, and one of the seats was empty.
The five people sitting in front of them were Emanuel, Mr. Jones, Noah, and the other two middle-aged men and women whom she was not familiar with. The cards in front of them showed their identities: The executive producer—Sienna, the producer—Johnson.
In addition to the five judges, there were two huge screens behind them. The cameras were aimed at the position where they were going to perform later. There were also bullet screens on the screens, indicating that the live broadcast had started.
Besides, there were dozens of media reporters around the scene. They were holding all kinds of shooting tools and shooting scenes from different angles for netizens at all times.
Hudson was wearing a pair of black glasses. When he saw them coming in, he nodded slightly.
"You will choose the scenario of the audition according to your number, and then I will give you five minutes to prepare. After the preparation, you will act directly, and try to finish acting in three minutes."
Eliza and the others had no objections, but No. 13 and No. 14 were newcomers. Compared to the calmness of the others, they were very nervous.
"Director, five... five minutes of preparation time, isn't it too little?"
They had to memorize all the lines in a short time, analyze the character, and then present it in the most appropriate way. It would take at least ten minutes to prepare.
Hudson's face fell instantly. "For an excellent actor, five minutes is sufficient to perform a short play which only lasts three minutes. If you don't think you can do it, I advise you to go back and practice again."
No. 13 and No. 14 looked pale.
They all knew that Mr. Jones was strict, but they didn't expect him to be this strict.
When Mr. Jones saw that they were silent, he stared straight at Eliza.
"Do you have any problem?"
Eliza shook her head. "No."
"Well, let's begin."
Eliza went to draw her scenario first. After three minutes, it was Corrine's turn.
She stepped forward calmly and took a random piece of paper from a transparent box. What was written on the note was: Ingrid was wrongly accused of killing her master and was expelled from the sect.
The specific lines and plot were not provided on the note.
However, Hudson had sent the actors and the actresses who signed up for the audition today the lines of the script before and specifically highlighted a lot of dialogues and plots.
For those who had read the script carefully, they would not find it difficult.
Eliza took a deep breath and suddenly raised her hand to tear off the left sleeve of her red dress.
Under everyone's astonished gazes, Eliza rubbed her face again to make herself look miserable and exceptionally strong. She was like a beauty who had lost a battle.
There were no props on the scene, but Eliza pulled out a soft sword from her waist.
This sword was something that Beau had specially prepared for her when she participated in "Treasures 101" last time. It was also this sword that caused Eliza to become famous after her sword dance.
Now that she pulled out her soft sword again, her temperament was much more indifferent than before.
