Chapter: 40
Finally, her name was called.
Vivian's dress was indeed attention-grabbing.
She wore a gorgeous purple court dress that would make heads turn wherever she passed by.
This dress was actually above the company’s standards for auditioning costumes. But since Vivian paid the rental fee herself, the director of the clothing department made an exception to lend it to her.
In addition to the stunning dress, Vivian wore a turquoise necklace and an exquisite pair of diamond earrings. She spent more than two hundred thousand dollars for these jewelries just for this audition.
Compared with Vivian, the other actresses who came looked like they were auditioning for minor roles. The difference in extravagance was huge.
As her gaze swept among the crowd, Vivian felt more confident. She felt that she really deserved to become the heroine.
She then raised her head and walked proudly toward the judges.
The scene she was going to reenact was from a classic episode of the show.
The king, Richard, had just made an engagement with Anne, who was a commoner. After Learning this, Paul, who coveted the throne for a long time, accused Richard of violating the Royal ban and proposed to depose Richard.
In the process of doing so, Paul accused and ridiculed Richard in front of everyone. Just because Anne came from a humble family, he didn't take her seriously at all.
However, Paul underestimated Anne. She then proceeded to beat him up in front of all the royalties.
Then, Richard stood and defended Anne with his sheer eloquence. After skillfully justifying her behavior for beating Paul, she was absolved from any punishment.
This specific scene truly had an extremely cheerful and breath-taking mood.
In particular, Anne's forthrightness and strength, and Richard's eloquence and astuteness were the sole essences of the whole play.
Now, Vivian would have to act this scene alone. She had to convince the directors that she could give justice in showing Anne's anger and frankness. She should deliver a few short Lines ad Lib and then exhibit her fighting skills to prove that she could play the role of this powerful girl.
In fact, Vivian didn't have prior knowledge of any martial arts or fighting skills, but she took a few lessons in dancing before. And just recently, she hired a teacher to train her for fighting scenes. It seemed she was well prepared for this audition.
However, when she was about to start her performance, she suddenly saw a girl, who looked a lot like Maria, standing in the corner of the studio.
At the same time, a seemingly handsome young man stood next to her.
Was that really Maria? But what was she doing here? She shouldn't have any qualifications to be where the staff and the directors were. Vivian furrowed her brows in confusion.
Maria was only standing a few meters away from Francis Jackson, the main director who judged those who were auditioning.
How long had she been standing there, and what was she doing in this place to begin with?
More importantly, who allowed her to stay there? Was she actually working for Yeez Entertainment? It couldn't be!
But that wasn't the only reason why Vivian was perplexed.
Since she signed with the Yeez Entertainment, she hadn't even said a word to Francis Jackson. However, the director kept stealing glances at Maria from time to time, as if he was very concerned about her.
