2024-11-15 07:00:38The lead actress widened her eyes and puffed out her cheeks as she said, “Do you think pretending to fall...”
“CUT!” the director interrupted again.
“Cynthia, no wide-eyed expressions. Do it again...”
“Cut!”
“Puffing your cheeks doesn’t convey anger. Try again...”
Cynthia went through the same routine, using her one and only expression—wide eyes and puffed cheeks—to portray surprise, sadness, and anger. They shot that one scene dozens of times.
Meanwhile, Isabella stood silently in the background, holding a fan at the ready, playing the part of an unnoticed servant.
With each take Cynthia flubbed, Isabella had to repeat her role as well. Her legs had grown stiff from standing, and her arm was sore from holding the fan, but she maintained her poise, staying fully immersed in the scene, giving her best performance every second.
Director Martez, after countless failed takes, was finally at his wit's end. He was on the verge of tea

The young man at the reception was exceptionally enthusiastic when he saw someone come to sign up.He immediately listed the benefits of joining the production team: “Generous pay, comprehensive insurance, paid vacations, and bonuses during holidays.”Isabella couldn’t help but feel a bit hesitant as she listened to his enthusiastic pitch.The difference in treatment between this production and the previous one was striking.She thought about the 11 dollars she earned from the whole day’s hard work in the previous crew and stared blankly.Now, this new crew promised a commission that was more than 100 times her previous earnings. What kind of golden crew was this, offering such excellent benefits for temporary actors?Seeing Isabella’s silent contemplation, the young man assumed she was impressed by the generous offer and quickly seized the opportunity, saying, “Miss, you clearly have the potential to be a

When Isabella appeared on set again, the most surprised were Cynthia and Director Martez.Seeing Isabella’s serene expression, Cynthia felt a bit uneasy and quickly forced a smile. “Sister, you finished the shoot so soon?”Isabella remained composed. “Yes, it’s done. Unlike you, who always seems to be acting.”The remark was sharp, and Cynthia immediately sensed the underlying tone.Cynthia pondered over Isabella’s reaction.Logically, she should have been upset after being scammed. But her calm and neutral demeanor made it hard to guess what had really happened.Director Martez watched as Isabella returned and felt a wave of anxiety. He knew that the announcement was definitely a fake scam ad. Perhaps this young lady had already been scammed, was in tears with nowhere to turn, and was coming back to blame him?Thinking this

Isabella’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Of course, I’d love to. If the director gives me the opportunity, I’ll definitely perform well.”The assistant director was charmed by her enthusiasm and laughed heartily, “So confident! I like your drive. Alright, come on over and we’ll do the audition.”Isabella eagerly followed the assistant director.Her excited demeanor immediately caught Cynthia’s attention.When Cynthia learned that Isabella was auditioning for a special role, she was relieved.Although a special role was a step up from a temporary background actor, it was still quite demanding and tough, often involving dirty and strenuous work.Special roles, especially those requiring dangerous stunts, were usually assigned to tough individuals, so it seemed odd for a delicate girl like Isabella to be called for a special role.Curious about what role Isabella might play, Cynthia decided to follow along.Isabella followed the a

In the heavy armor, Isabella felt as if her legs were filled with lead, making each step laborious.She took a deep breath, using her core strength to try and maintain a valiant appearance.After numerous adjustments and attempts, her steps began to look more confident and graceful. The armor, instead of seeming cumbersome, added a substantial and authentic feel to her portrayal.Unlike many productions that use lightweight, superficial props, this armor, crafted from real iron, was heavy and lent a genuine sense of the historical battlefield.The weight of the armor, though exhausting, contributed to the realism of her performance, making the historical context feel palpable.Every step she took was a struggle, but she carried herself with unwavering determination, her feet steady and resolute.The armored general she portrayed wasn’t grandiose like a mythical hero but had a commendable presence, showcasing the strength and dignity of a wom

Isabella almost thought she’d misheard. She stared at the director in disbelief and asked again, “I can play the second female lead?”The assistant director, with a smile in his eyes, confirmed, “Yes, you’re cast as the second female lead.”Then he shifted his tone, “Although the second female lead plays a villain, it’s a highly challenging role and one of the key pillars of this drama. If performed well, it will shine brightly and win the audience's sympathy, gaining you countless fans. But if performed poorly, it will become a one-dimensional, uninteresting character, leading to criticism and affecting your reputation, which could hinder your future prospects. So, are you up for the challenge?”The assistant director’s gaze was intense and full of anticipation.Isabella nodded vigorously, confidently replying, “Director, trust me.”“Good. I’ll announce the final casting list soon. The role of the second female lead is yours.” The assistant direct

If Isabella tries to clear her name now, it'll only make things worse—who would believe her anyway?Cynthia is probably stirring up more trouble behind the scenes, and it seems like most of the crew has already bought into her lies.The only way to stop the rumors is to force Cynthia to confess, to make everyone see her ugly true nature.With that in mind, Isabella started thinking about how to expose Cynthia.Despite everything, she acted as if nothing was wrong, carrying on as usual, completely unfazed by the stares and mockery around her.But Cynthia was running out of patience. She wanted to deliver a fatal blow to Isabella, to get her kicked out of the production—and maybe even out of the entire industry. It was time to make a bigger move.That evening, just as the crew was wrapping up, Amy approached Isabella with a file and said, "Isabella, the director wants to discuss the script for Lady Lucia. He needs to go over the lines with you.”Isabel

The assistant director remained composed, standing firm as he gave Hailey a calm, steady look. “So, what you’re suggesting is that I’m having an affair with Ms. Isabella?”Hailey raised an eyebrow, her lips curling in a sneer. She stared at Isabella with contempt. “Exactly. I like to call things as they are. You two were alone in your office—what else could it be but an affair?”“Who said they were alone?” A cold, sharp voice suddenly interrupted from behind the assistant director.Everyone turned toward the source of the voice, and a woman stepped out of the office.It was none other than the assistant director’s wife, Producer Aileen, who also worked on the project.The onlookers were stunned.What was going on? Why was the assistant director’s wife here too?Producer Aileen looked calmly at Hailey, her expression unreadable. She asked coolly, “Isabella was in the office for less than a minute, and you’re claiming she and the assist

Faced with overwhelming evidence, Cynthia had no way to defend herself. Every trick she wanted to pull unraveled before she could even speak.Someone shouted, “Cynthia, you brought us all here to the assistant director’s office to slander Isabella, didn’t you?”The onlookers, who had been dragged into this mess by Cynthia, were now desperate to distance themselves from her. That shout was clearly directed at the assistant director, pleading for forgiveness and hoping he wouldn’t hold a grudge.The director and Producer Aileen remained silent, as the truth was already crystal clear. There was no need for them to say more. Cynthia was caught, with no escape.Panicked, Cynthia tried to bluff her way out. "That love letter was just a prank between my sister and me. Nothing actually happened, you're all overreacting—”“Slap!”Before she could finish her sentence, Isabella delivered a hard slap across her face, causing Cynthia to see stars and nea

Among the trainees who had just performed, there were certainly those who sang foreign songs, but these choices often didn’t hold much advantage.Due to copyright concerns, they usually selected lesser-known tracks that weren’t widely recognized, which meant their performances had to be exceptionally outstanding to truly impress the audience.Just like with the song Isabella chose, many had never even heard of it.However, as soon as Isabella finished speaking, the judges flipped open her introduction sheet and discovered that this song was actually an original composition by her!While some trainees had tried the original route, none had been bold enough to challenge themselves with an original song in a singing and dancing performance.After all, most original songs are simply a combination of two or three instruments playing melodies with common lyrical chord progres

Cynthia, like Masha, followed a sweet style. Her outfit today was a noticeably improved version of her usual attire—a lovely pink short skirt that gave her a sweet, youthful vibe.As soon as she appeared, the other trainees in the audience couldn’t help but praise her. Singing a sweet song while smiling brightly, she performed a simple yet charming dance. The overall atmosphere was incredibly cute, and the crowd was in awe.“Oh my gosh, she’s so adorable!”“This Cynthia seems to be an individual trainee, and she’s the first to perform! Her skills are amazing!”“At this level, she should be able to score at least a B grade.”During the initial stage of *Next Girls*, trainees were graded by the mentors into five levels: A, B, C, D, and E, with A being the best. Only seven positions were available for debut.Isabella felt indifferent to Cynthia’s per

However, just as Isabella finished speaking, the manager who had just expelled Cynthia and Samuel approached again. This time, his face was beaming with smiles, completely different from the nervous, sweaty demeanor he had earlier. He cheerfully said to Isabella, “You’re a student from the Aetheron Film Academy, aren’t you?”“Yes,” Isabella nodded, unsure of what the manager wanted. Did he intend to say she didn’t comply with some rule and throw her and Lucius out as well?“What’s the matter?” Isabella asked warily, frowning at the manager.“Well, since it’s exam day, we have a special event going on. We’re holding a lottery for students from the Aetheron Film Academy who dine here, and the prizes are quite generous. Would you like to participate?” The manager said, placing a large lottery box in front of Isabella.

After bidding farewell to Derek, Isabella returned home. During her exam preparations, Lucius, as a family member of a candidate, had also put in a lot of effort. Today, they must celebrate properly—dinner at a restaurant!Isabella had already mentioned this to Lucius; as soon as she got home, she would take him out to eat.Who would have thought that when she opened her phone, she found a message from Lucius saying he had already driven to the school gate to wait for her to go eat together.“Your car seems quite expensive, doesn’t it?” Isabella didn’t know much about car brands, but the emblem on Lucius’s car depicted two little figures holding up a small fork, looking quite noble.So, she guessed that Lucius was probably driving a pretty nice car.“I’m not sure about the specifics; it’s just arranged by the company,” Lucius replied. He had been busy with some matters la

However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Isabella's cold laugh, her eyes filled with complex emotions. “If you had just told me what you wanted, I would have given it to you. So if you really like him, just say it, and I won’t hesitate to let you have him. Why bother tarnishing your reputation as a mistress by doing such a disgraceful thing? My dear sister, you’ve truly disappointed me.”“Anyone who can be seduced by a mere glance from you, do you think he’s worth anything? Thank you for helping me identify trash!”“Isabella, don’t say that! He... he’s not trash. We just got caught up in the moment.” Cynthia was at a loss, completely unsure of how to perform. Although she was supposed to be the supporting actress, she felt like she was being led around by Isabella.“You mean you were momentarily confused, right? In front of so many people, you can openly hold hands. What about when I'm not

Time flew by in the training camp, and in a month, Isabella will take her exams for the Aetheron Film Academy, including an interview test. Therefore, she didn’t visit the Knight’s training camp as often and returned to school to study.The entrance interview for the Aetheron Film Academy typically involves three teachers and two senior students as assistants. However, when Isabella arrived at the venue, she was surprised to find that the seniors assisting this year were familiar faces.Samuel and Cynthia stood beside the three interview teachers, looking like a perfect match with their impressive looks.Generally, the performing arts program at the film academy has multiple phases, including a first and second round for elements like dialogue, performance, and vocal skills. All these stages are completed in a single day to prevent any potential interference, such as bribing the teachers.Aft

“Uncle, I need you to help me check on someone. There’s a trainee named Cecilia at the Knight training camp.” Lucius’s voice grew angry as he mentioned her name, and he instructed Lysander coldly.“Is something wrong? Did that little wife of yours get bullied again?” Without needing much context, Lysander immediately guessed that Lucius’s anger and attention to detail must be due to something happening to his wife.“She withdrew at the last moment before the competition. Cecilia schemed to make her give up. People like her, who play dirty, don’t deserve to stay at the Knight training camp. She’ll only bring chaos,” Lucius stated, believing Lysander would understand that Cecilia could not remain there.Meanwhile, Cecilia successfully secured first place in the afternoon competition, guaranteeing her a spot in Bryan’s film.However, Bryan himself was not present at the finals that afternoon.

After Isabella left, Cecilia wasted no time stepping forward. "Director Wade, it was our fault. Karrie was on the phone with a friend, and he happens to be called Lucius too. Isabella thought it was her boyfriend, and that’s why she ran off. She got jealous and left the competition in a hurry."While Bryan had been speaking with Isabella, Cecilia and Karrie had been eavesdropping the whole time. So, as soon as Isabella left without an explanation, Cecilia seized the chance to pretend to defend her. In reality, she only made the situation worse.Cecilia assumed that Bryan would be displeased to hear that Isabella abandoned such a golden opportunity for a man. But to her surprise, Bryan saw right through the situation.Unlike Cecilia, Bryan knew that Isabella’s boyfriend was indeed Lucius from the Knight Group. Their relationship was well-known, and her concern was understandable. When Bryan recalled Isabella’s words

Bryan had already made up his mind to cast Isabella as the lead in his new movie. But who would have thought that halfway through the competition, Isabella would suddenly withdraw, running off the stage without a word?Bryan felt as if his heart had left with her. After all, she was the actress he had chosen!Frowning, he watched Isabella's retreating figure and found himself instinctively following her to find out what was going on.Previously, he had heard that Isabella couldn't swim, which was why he had set the rules as he did. Yet, not only could she swim, but she swam exceptionally well, securing the first place.This showed that she must have put in a lot of effort behind the scenes.She seemed like someone who would work hard for her dreams, and Bryan admired that.So what could have caused Isabella to withdraw at the last moment?
