Daisie lowered her head. “Yeah. I’m nervous.”Amy walked up to her and put her hand on her shoulder. “Don’t be nervous. Just treat it as your normal practice session. When you're in there, don't always think that you want to succeed. The higher expectations you have, the more pressure you'll feel, and having pressure will affect your performance.”Daisie looked at her.Amy was indeed a very experienced actress. Daisie had calmed down a bit after listening to what she said.She smiled and said, “Thank you so much, Ames.”Amy smiled. “We’re from the same company, and we both are working under Charlie. You don’t have to thank me.”Soon, it was Daisie’s turn for the audition. Daisie bade her goodbye and left with the staff.The audition was held in a studio the size of a basketball court. Many artists' profiles were on the table, including some of their photos. Daisie presumed that the man who seemed to be over 50 years old sitting in front of the machine was Benny.After changing
“In my opinion, the Dragon Lady is a sad character. Everyone thinks that she's evil because she's killing people. So does it mean justice when the heavens take the life of the demons?”…When Daisie came out of the building after she had finished with her audition, the roaring sound of a car engine erupted in the distance. She looked toward the source of the sound and saw a purple sports car coming in her direction. She took two steps back, and the car stopped in front of her.The window on the top opened up, and the one sitting in the driving seat was none other than James.After all, Daisie couldn't think of anyone else who would change the exterior of his sports car to this fancy bright color.James looked around and asked, “Ms. Vanderbilt, are you serious? You’re the daughter of the Goldmanns, and you don’t even have a car?”Daisie crossed her hands in front of her chest and said, “It’s none of your business.”James walked toward her, removed his sunglasses, grinned at her,
Daisie forced a smile. “Congratulations, Ames.”“You acted well too. It’s said that Benny had to choose between you and me in the end.” Amy let off a faint sigh. “Benny actually likes you very much.”Daisie lowered her head. She did not know where she had made a mistake.‘Is it because I’m really not suitable for the role?’“You don’t have to feel discouraged.” Amy raised her hand, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her, “You still have a long way to go in the entertainment industry and will run across loads of opportunities ahead. After all, it’s normal in the industry to miss out on a role. It’d be a real shame if you were to lose confidence after only encountering such situations once.”Daisie took a deep breath, lifted her head, and said with a smile, “Thanks for the advice. I’ve learned so much, and I still have a lot to learn from you in the future.”At the Goldmann mansion…Daisie sat in her room, looking at the script of “The Lady of the Dragons” and some notes th
Nolalce got up in a hurry and straightened his shirt. “No matter what’s the reason, I should go and meet this senior of mine.”At the Santa Diego Hotel…In the restaurant, two people were sitting by the window.It was Nollace and Naphtali.Naphtali tasted the coffee in the cup and raised his gaze. “I don’t know much about my father's business with Mr. Matthews. After all, I’ve now established a perfume company myself, so I rarely intervene in the Lewis Group’s affairs.”Nollace smiled and rubbed his thumb against the face of his watch. “Mr. Lewis, you’re such a talented man. Haven’t you considered getting married?”Naphtali paused for a bit, put down the coffee cup, and gave off a smile. “I don’t have plans for that for the time being. Could it be that you have a lady that you’d like to introduce to me?”“What type of woman do you prefer, Mr. Naphtali?”“I’m not picky when it comes to that, as long as it’s a lady.”Nollace’s gaze was fixed on the time displayed on his watch un
Daisie was momentarily stunned before she stepped forward. “Mr. Johnson, but I didn’t get the role of Dragon Lady…”“I didn’t really expect you to get it.” Charlie crossed his arms and leaned against the back of the chair. “The reason you lost that role is that on the day of the audition, you looked at the role from a bystander’s perspective and didn’t put yourself into the shoes of the Dragon Lady.“The Dragon Lady isn’t as sad of a character as you think she is. Even if the heavens have done something wrong, the Dragon Lady shouldn’t have indiscriminately killed innocent people because she’s against the destiny that was arranged for her by the heavens.”Daisie paused.‘In the plot, when the Dragon Lady eradicated the sect, many disciples of the sect, who were innocent, were dragged into the catastrophic tragedy.‘The disciples of the sect believed in the way of the heavens, and they killed demons. It was the heavens that had done the Dragon Lady wrong, but in the end, it was the
After saying that, he added, “Besides, it’s a good thing that you’ve lost the role in Benny’s movie.”She wondered, “Why are you saying that as well?”Helios smiled. “All the actors that were chosen to participate in Benny’s project are veteran actors with very strong acting skills. Hence, working with them doesn’t only demand a great attitude but a lot of skills too. That’s quite a challenging spot to be in for someone as new as you.“The journey of any actor that starts at the peak but develops very slowly will attract the most public opinion, and let’s not forget that you’re the daughter of the Goldmanns. This will attract even more unnecessary attention to Benny’s project. Once you start this high but are found to be a little lacking in the future, you’ll have to take on a lot of criticism, which will create huge pressure. That’s why Charlie says that losing out on that role is a good thing for you. It really isn’t a bad thing.”Daisie had an epiphany.‘It turns out that Mr. J
Colton leaned against the head of the bed and said nonchalantly, “That’s true. After all, when we were on the island, you didn’t feel ashamed when you were making that sound.”Freyja turned around, glared at him, and laughed out of anger. “Colton Goldmann, how are you so impressed by what happened that night? Have you been thinking about it every night when you can’t sleep in the middle of the night?”He frowned. “What horse cr*p do you think you’re blabbering about?”“Then why would you bring that night up?” Freyja leaned over and glanced at him with an indifferent smirk on her face. “If it’s to humiliate me for having no sense of shame, then I’ll admit to that. Believe it or not, I‘ll even pull your pants off if I have to.”‘Doesn’t he think I am shameless? Then I’ll show him just how shameless I can be.‘It’ll be best if he drives me away and never wants to see me again in his life. In short, I’ve had enough!’Colton grasped her hand abruptly, and she was startled.He then pl
“It’s not like I need the money.”“She’s the reason that you were in pain. You would usually make her pay.” Waylon’s eyes were filled with purpose.Colton turned away. “There’s no need for me to be petty.”Waylon chuckled and said, “It’s not like you’re not usually petty.”Colton was rendered speechless. “Freyja is a good person.”Colton suddenly looked at him. “That’s your opinion about her?”Waylon smiled but didn’t answer.After being quiet for a moment, Colton looked away and said, “What do you think about her?”Waylon squinted and asked back, “What do you think?”Colton said in a low voice, “I won’t agree if you want to make her my sister-in-law.”Waylon’s eyes darted before he suddenly laughed. “I’m not going to steal my brother’s girl.”Colton was startled and explained, “I didn’t say that she was mine. I just think that she’s not good enough for you. She doesn't have the potential to become my sister-in-law.”Waylon’s smile grew wider. He could see what was going
