"Cut." The female auditioner on Selina's right shouted quickly. She looked at Su Lingxi with a strange look, "You performed well, but you shouldn't..."

Selina, who had rearranged her shirt and tie, immediately interrupted her, "It's okay, Catherine, it's just for the supporting role."

After that, she turned her head and looked straight at Su Lingxi, "You did very well, very well. No matter who the opponent actor is, it can't affect your good state. Honey, Betty is definitely the role that belongs to you."

"If I don't choose you, I'm afraid I'll have sleepless nights for the next few days, regretting my stupid decision."

After hearing Selina's words, the four auditioners were stunned for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

"Congratulations, Miss Su. Please wait outside for a moment. I will bring you to sign the performance contract later." The blonde woman called Catherine smiled softly at Su Lingxi, no longer with the serious expression just now.

Selina waved her hand and said, "Don't bother. Ask everyone waiting outside to leave. I've already chosen the heroine I want. There's no need to waste time here."

Katherine nodded, obviously used to Selina's unconventional thinking.

She is both a screenwriter and a director, and has absolute say in film projects. No one will object to her decisions.

Su Lingxi smiled at the right time, "I can't believe it, Mia. I thought you would be torn between me and Verina for a long time."

She boldly called out her Christian name.

After the experience of traveling together in Paris last night, Su Lingxi didn’t think Selina would be dissatisfied with her because of a name.

This was indeed the case. Selina's upturned lips never dropped from beginning to end, and she seemed to accept the new title well.

"Her temperament is too melancholy, maybe because she has played too many tragic roles—" Selina shrugged, "Anyway, she doesn't really fit in with my movie."

"But then again, we should hurry up and try this part," Selina smiled and raised the script. Her bright smile dispelled the sharpness brought by her deep facial features. "Well, take a look, it's the scene where Betty and Grenouille first met..."

……

In this way, Su Lingxi was kept in the audition office by Selina, who was full of inspiration, to audition five scenes in a row until dusk fell.

"I'm really looking forward to our next meeting." Before leaving, Selina looked back at Su Lingxi reluctantly, "Remember to wear a blue dress to see me next time, okay? Preferably peacock blue, you know, that kind of vibrant color always makes people fascinated."

This request may sound a bit nonsensical at first, but Su Lingxi remembered that Betty in the script wore a blue dress in several scenes - it was indeed a vibrant color that suited the character's characteristics.

"Of course, blue is the color that best fits the essence of life, and I like it too," she said with a smile.

Ignoring Catherine's subtle gaze, Su Lingxi walked up to Selina and gave her a gentle hug before waving goodbye.

"She's a powerful and surprising girl, isn't she?" Selina stretched and turned to Katherine. "I don't understand, you seem to have some indescribable hostility towards her?"

Katherine pursed her lips and said, "Selina, you misunderstood. I just still have doubts about your choice of Su."

"Because of her nationality? Or her oriental face?" Selina raised her eyebrows.

Catherine hesitated for a moment. "She is an Asian actress. She is very different from us. I am worried..."

Although this statement may sound a bit discriminatory, Catherine does not actually discriminate against Asians or other ethnic groups.

She was just naturally worried about Su Lingxi's face, which was so different from that of Europeans.

Indeed, this girl's features are already three-dimensional and deep among Asians: higher brow ridges, more upturned nose tip, and sharp facial lines...

But after all, they look quite different from the actors that European audiences are used to seeing.

Selina initially threatened to find a unique foreign actress to play the heroine, and she thought she would look for someone in Germany, Italy or other countries.

Unexpectedly, Selina picked this oriental girl at first sight.

Despite Talia's success, it was still difficult for Catherine to feel completely at ease.

After all, not every oriental girl has Talia's strength and good luck.

"Opportunities and challenges always coexist, Catherine. I never seek stability when making movies." Selina's eyes were wanton and conceited at the moment. "What I want is a breakthrough, an unexpected ending that no one can predict."

"Believe me, we have lived a peaceful life for too long. The audience also needs surprises and unexpected excitement."

Catherine nodded slightly in silence.

She knew that if she had not been her deputy who had followed her for a long time, if it had been anyone else, Selina would not have bothered to explain so much.

"Selina, this is Verina's agent calling. Do you want to answer it?" Lusha handed the phone to Selina and suddenly joined the conversation, "This is the third time..."

Selina glanced at it casually and turned off her phone.

She doesn't have the energy to deal with boring people and boring things.

With this extra time, I might as well revise the script.

Ah, when she thought of the script, she thought of Betty... I hope Nicole can give her a more stunning Betty in two months...

Don't let her down.

"Bad news. Selina is no longer answering our calls." Putting down the phone, Phoebe sighed and turned to look at the person beside her. "It's at least 90% likely that Nicole has snatched the role we wanted."

"Is the news accurate?" Verina's face was extremely ugly. "I remember that Selina's auditions used to last most of the day. How come it was so fast this time?"

She had been busy doing post-dubbing for a completed movie these days, so after coming out of the audition office she went straight to the recording studio and was unaware of the series of events that followed.

Phoebe snorted. "There's no doubt that she loves that oriental girl so much that all the other actors put together are not as good as she is."

"They spent the entire afternoon discussing the script in the casting office, as if the film was going to start shooting tomorrow." Phoebe rubbed her brows. "I really don't understand. She's just an Asian actress. Why would Selina be so crazy about her?"

Verina, on the other hand, regained her composure before her - she had a vague feeling that she would not be chosen even after the audition.

Because Selena's reaction to her performance was very calm throughout, even indifferent.
