Chapter 9: Is this world good?

Next, choosing the female lead of the film made the whole film crew a headache. Eg…

  The first actor, she came in and was very confident, Mia asked a few questions and saw that she answered very well, so she gave a scene, asking the actor to act. At first she was confused, her acting was rough but then she couldn't act anymore so she cried.

  The second actor was defiant, arrogant, and did not answer Mia's interview questions. Mia's voice grew colder, she even glared at her: "I know you're a genius in the world of screenwriting, but you should have a little better attitude, don't offend me. Do you know who I am?” An actor is raised by a giant.

  Mia focused on the list and then ticked an X on it, softly: “I don't know. Next person…"

  In a highly anticipated drama, actors who don't have a serious attitude and weak abilities will be eliminated immediately.

  Director William silently wiped his sweat. He knows that Mia is very strict at work, more serious than him, she may choose actors who are not good at acting, but she will eliminate those who have a bad attitude at work.

  As for the third actress, her acting is pretty good, but her attitude isn't serious. In particular, as soon as she stepped inside, seeing William immediately called out a very sweet voice.

  The director immediately coughed, he saw Mia not saying anything, she looked at him quietly, and he immediately waved his hand to explain: "No, I don't know her."

  Mia lowered her eyes: "You don't have to explain to me."

  Have you ever seen a director afraid of a scriptwriter? Now you have seen it.

  Fortunately, the next is only talented actors, although they are famous, they are very serious and humble.

  The people around breathed a sigh of relief. As for Peter, he still kept a loving smile on the person sitting next to him, sometimes he pretended not to know that she was angry and patted her head, saying: "Mia, you are so cute."

  “Mia, when you frown, my heart beats faster.”

  “Mia, the way you work makes me love you even more.”

  “Mia, stop frowning…”

   Mia sat away to keep her distance: “Don't touch me.” Every time there was physical contact between the two of them, it felt like an electric shock.

   Peter was as miserable as an abandoned cat.

   An author doesn't stare at the actor, from beginning to end, he just stares at the scriptwriter. Mia treats the person sitting next to her like air, his words like the sound of the wind.

   Bella sat behind watching him bother Mia, she was very itchy, what painter is not indecent. She jumps up, and slams: "Shut up."

   Peter frowned: "Kid, sit still. Who let you meddle in adult affairs?"

   If Bella's gaze could kill, Peter would surely die.

   …

   Bella Kay, because of her strong voice, was assigned the task of calling the actor into the room, this was the last one: "Next one, Lia Jones." The voice was still not critical, reverberating an entire floor.

   “…” As expected, the assistant of a non-ordinary person is also an unusual person. Calling out almost 200 names, her voice still didn't weaken at all.

   Five minutes later, the door to the study was flung open, and a woman swaggered in, treating the people inside as spectators watching her fashion show.

   Before she sat down, she said something like, “Wow, this chair is dirty. Respecting everyone, I reluctantly sat down.”

   Until she sat down on the opposite chair, greeting everyone was just a nod. Director William immediately frowned, although he was afraid of Mia, let's not forget that he was also very scary, very fond of not showing respect to those who were arrogant and contemptuous of others.

   Mia was still very focused on looking at the documents on the table, the strong scent of perfume hit her nose and made her raise her head, it seemed that this smell she had smelled just now. Her eyebrows furrowed again.

  The two are spiritually connected, Peter also has the same thoughts as her, he snorts and mutters: "Every time she uses it, does she spray a whole bottle of perfume? This smell is disgusting.”

  Mia secretly agreed with his opinion.

  Before it was director William who spoke first, so now it was Mia's turn to speak first, still repeating clichés and emotionless tone: "Hello. You're Lia Jones, right?"

  She raised her fingernail to look, pretending not to notice: "Yes."

  Mia nodded, her voice still flat and emotionless: "Here, we have a question to ask you."

   At this moment, the beautiful woman raised her head to see who was talking to her so coldly, but when her eyes wandered to the position near the middle of the interview table, she immediately panicked, unhesitating hand pointed straight at Mia's face: "You, you..."

  Peter immediately turned his sharp gaze to the opposite side: "Hey, do you respect others? Put your hand down, don't let me break it."

  Mia didn't care, continuing to ask: "Do you think you were serious about the movie?"

  She withdrew her gaze, her face cocked: "Of course, do you have to ask me this question too?"

  “Then tell me about the main plot of the movie. Her assessment of the script, about the characters built in the film. And give me some information about the character you will play shortly.”

  Having three questions in a row, Lia turned pale. She only reads the heroine's dialogue, but only reads the scenes she considers important, even though the original work hasn't looked at it yet. Damn, it's the woman who is taking revenge on her, Lia gritted her teeth and said: “I… I don't see how normally film crews ask questions like this.”

  Mia suddenly found it ridiculous: "So our movies are similar to theirs?"

  That woman completely gave up her arrogant, luxurious appearance. She began to show her lady character as a sharp, sour woman and stood up, rushing straight in front of Mia: “Is it because of my actions earlier that you think of revenge? me, right?"

  Peter immediately stood in front of Mia, his broad back shielding her. Cold eyes: "Can you try touching Mia?"

  Everyone was surprised at this action, Mia gently leaned back on the chair, quietly looking at Lia as if watching a joke.

  Mia: “Sit down, Peter.”

  Director William suddenly said: "Lia Jones, when Mr. Jones - your father sent you to me, hoping you could participate in this casting, your attitude made me very disappointed."

  Lia: "She did it on purpose, you still blame me?"

  Director William sighed: "It seems you don't know anything about this movie. Information from the film crew spread out, unlike other film crews. We attach great importance to the scriptwriter, so the actor is forced to meet the strict requirements of the scriptwriter."

  The people sitting next to them added, "It took a lot of work to get her the chance to write the script for that movie."

  William nodded: "Not wrong..."

  Mia raised her hand to signal to stop, she didn't want the director to have to explain to anyone.

  He pretended not to see Mia's actions, asking Lia: "Do you know the screenwriter Mia Joan?"

  Lia was bewildered, a few seconds later she nodded rapidly: "I know, I know. I even know that any actress who can play a script written by her will be famous as a kite."

  Peter's eyes looking at Mia with pampering and love are now more proud, proud of her talent, proud that his comic met the right good writer.

  This time the director just smiled, Lia widened her eyes: "Mia... Mia could not be her."

  Peter on the floor: “It's her, Mia Joan, my Mia. Can you go out now?"

  Mia's voice seemed to grow even colder: "Don't talk nonsense."

  Lia couldn't believe it: "Isn't she rarely seen? Why is she here?"

  Peter turns on cynical mode: “You're stupid, aren't you? She rarely appears, but that doesn't mean she doesn't appear. Or do you think casting isn't important? Miss Jones?"

  Bella couldn't hold it any longer, adding: "In the film crew, she only appeared when casting the lead actress. During the making of the film, Mia came here on one finger.” She hasn't worked with Mia too much yet, but the information about Mia Joan on the internet is almost completely memorized by Bella, a huge fan.

  Because she's an avid fan, if it wasn't for Mia's eyes to stop her, Bella would have rushed in, bitten, or beaten Lia.

  Mia felt her heart warm as she saw everyone trying to protect her. She tapped her finger on the table: “Sorry, your answers are enough to let us know that you don't know anything about your role. But I'm looking forward to seeing her rehearse a short segment. "

  Lia nodded: "Okay, okay." A wayward lady becomes obedient under Mia's hand.

  But the audition did not convince the people in front of them.

  Peter also frowned, he shook his head. This person is very unsuitable for the female character he has built in the comics, with his chipped acting technique not good at all.

  …

  Mia and everyone discussed it already an hour later. She went outside, listening to Bella as she gurgled like a mouse: "Mia, I see how you work."

  Mia began to rearrange the words in her mind, trying to figure out which word to use: "It's okay."

  This is not exactly a compliment, but it also makes the young girl jump: "I know, I will try harder."

  But the two were stopped by Lia: “Mia, we need to talk.'

  Mia said faintly: "You can say it here."

  Lia: “You follow me.”

  Mia shakes her head: "No, you and I have nothing to talk about."

  Lia: “Do you know who I am? Just one word from me is enough to make you paralyzed for the rest of your life, why do you dare not respect me, dare to be bossy?"

  Mia frowned, thinking over whether her actions just now were as overbearing as Lia just said. Peter did not know when to stand behind her, saying: “She relies on me to not respect her, I allow her to do that? I wonder what's wrong with Miss Jones - the favorite daughter of the Jones family?"

  Lia was bewildered, pointing to her nose: "You know me?"

  Normally, she was supported by her family to enter the entertainment industry. But when answering reporters, she insisted that to achieve success like today is due to her strength.

  Peter raised an eyebrow, pulling Mia away despite her struggling: "Do you mind, Miss Jones, asking your father if he knows Professor Wayne? Don't forget to tell Professor Wayne's son to say hi to him." Then, he put his arm around Mia's waist and took her with him.

  Mia before leaving said a sentence: "I rely on my strength, on my serious attitude, and me as the screenwriter Mia Joan. Goodbye, I hope you and I will never see each other again.”

  Lia stood still with a stiff expression because she was being watched by everyone around her. This is the only person who doesn't know Mia and still confidently auditions.

  …

  After taking two steps, Mia became aware that a hot arm was wrapping around her small waist. Mia immediately pushed her body away, her eyes still calm: "I repeat, don't touch me."

  The calm outside was masking Mia's panic, she felt the place where he had just touched it burning hot. His masculine breath seemed to invade her brain, causing her to panic.

  Peter looked straight into her eyes as if searching for a different emotion, but those eyes remained as calm as a river with little wind. There was a flash of disappointment in his heart as he felt his hands go blank.

  Bella passed by so she could see Peter's expression, she stuck out her tongue like a child: "Lewlew, you're being shunned by her, it's worth it."

  But as soon as Mia left, this person pulled back his sarcastic expression, the person in front of her was looking at Bella with cold eyes that sent chills down her spine and then he simply turned away.

  Bella: “…” Making faces so fast?

  …

  Mia returned to her workplace, she seemed to have lost all her strength and sat down on the chair, her small fingers raised to gently rub her temples, her eyes were extremely tired. Last night she had trouble sleeping plus the fact that she had to strain herself to talk, and interact with people made her spirit extremely stressed.

  Bella came, she brought a cup of coffee and a box: “Mia, I bought you coffee and lunch, hurry up and eat. My coffee has given milk to reduce bitterness, lunch is also very frugal, you can rest assured to eat, I cooked it myself, I just warmed it up for you."

  Mia silently looks at the things in front of her, why recently two more people been so interested in her, Mia feels unreal.

  Mia raised her head, her voice also tired: “How do you know my habits? And make your food?”

  Bella replied without thinking: "Because I like you so much."

  Mia whispered, "Really?"

  Bella has a bright smile, which contains the innocence and optimism of the young girl: “Mia, you have to believe, there are many people who like and love you. So please smile more."

  There was a glint of surprise in Mia's eyes. So in this life, there are still many people who love her? Can she believe this?

  Perhaps she did not know that, after having the other man by her side, she noticed that the world around her had a little more color, no longer just black and white.

  …
