She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

Su Lingxi is now very skilled in "commanding" Kevin, but Yang Qian is still a little hesitant. "After all, he is now a senior executive in Columbia. Wouldn't it be unreliable to leave this matter to him?"

"Sunrise has his shares, and Joey is helping him. I don't think there's anything wrong with this arrangement." Su Lingxi took a sip of water and said calmly, "I understand your concerns. The shares we gave him are indeed not worth mentioning to him, but his relationship with Joey is the most profitable thing for us, isn't it?"

"Joey wants to make a career and prove himself, and Kevin knows this as well as I do. His relationship with Joey has finally warmed up a little because of work, and I don't think he would be stupid enough to betray Sunrise at this time."

It is said that businessmen are cruel and ruthless, but at this stage Su Lingxi is still quite confident in Kevin Cowan. On the one hand, it is because of Joey, he is one of the most useful cards in her hand; on the other hand, it is because Sunrise is now no different from the countless shell companies established in California.

Everyone thought that she and Joey started this company just as a spur-of-the-moment idea, and no one regarded them as serious competitors at all.

Even the top executives of Columbia Pictures turned a blind eye to Kevin Cowan's private investment in Sunrise and did not take it seriously at all.

Kevin's attitude is no exception - he admits that Nicole is indeed charming as an actress, but when it comes to doing business, she is still far from it.

Su Lingxi was aware of their inner contempt, and also knew that verbal rebuttal would not change anything.

If we want to make them change their minds, we must first make the "Death of Romanticism" project a success.

After deciding on the actors, the topic turned back to the audition.

"Has Kevin made any progress on Li Shuo's new film?" Su Lingxi asked Yang Qian, "Did you hear any gossip about the background, character settings, or plot outline?"

In fact, Su Lingxi would receive her audition script in less than 24 hours, but because she didn't want to fall behind, she couldn't help but ask.

"It's a road movie. The character you want is one of the two female protagonists. She's a rebellious and bold waitress at a coffee shop who thinks she understands human nature. She's tired of her ordinary and boring life so she embarks on a journey." Yang Qian glanced at the maximized page information on the laptop screen. "That's all the information we have now, and it's not much different from what we learned before."

Su Lingxi let out a sigh of relief. "Well, as expected of a big Hollywood director, he even did such a good job of keeping the news confidential..."

Seriously speaking, this was probably the most mysterious audition she had ever participated in - except for the gender of the character, she knew almost nothing before receiving the audition script.

*

Midtown Manhattan, New York.

The audition location chosen by Li Shuo was a very large photography studio with four floors in total, and the decoration style was very modern and futuristic.

Following the staff's instructions, Su Lingxi took the elevator directly to the top floor.

Apart from the various dark decorations, there is no difference between the top floor and the first floor, except that the area is more spacious and there are more people rushing around.

Unexpectedly, although there were many beautiful and elegant blondes here, Su Lingxi did not see many famous celebrities along the way. Instead, there were many unfamiliar faces.

This reminded her of a rumor - many big directors actually prefer new actors who have just entered the industry to famous actors. Not only because of the unpolished simplicity of newcomers, but also because they can be guided by the director and can more easily perform the feeling the director wants.

If you think about it carefully, Li Shuo has directed more than a dozen films, and only a very few actors have the opportunity to work with him for a second time, which shows that the rumors do have some truth.

Su Lingxi suppressed her uneasy thoughts and stopped thinking about the rumor that was very unfavorable to her. She picked up the audition script, turned around quietly and walked to the waiting area to sit down.

The tentative title on the script header is "Evelyn and Charlotte", and the dual female lead format is obvious from the name.

While reading the script, Su Lingxi was trying to figure out the setting for the character of Charlotte.

Compared with the other protagonist Evelyn, Charlotte is undoubtedly the more decisive and more temperamental of the two. When her friend feels that life is boring, she will take the initiative to make plans to take her out for a trip to relax. When Evelyn is indecisive and can't make a decision, she will also make a decision quickly.

——Just like this scene written in the audition script.

[Night, in front of the restaurant]

Evelyn was dizzy due to drunkenness and was being harassed by Jeff, who occasionally made indecent gestures to her.

Evelyn: No, please stop! I'm married.

Jeff: So what? I'm married too.

Evelyn struggled, and Jeff slapped her in the face and roughly pushed her onto the hood of the car, intending to lift up her skirt.

Evelyn screamed.

Evelyn: Please, Jeff, please, don't do this, okay?

Jeff: I won't hurt you. Oh, you have such a great figure!

Evelyn: Stop it, please stop it right now! Charlotte will be here soon.

Jeff: Be quiet, bitch! To hell with you and your Charlotte! Shut up right now!

Charlotte walked out of the restaurant and happened to see this scene. Her face suddenly changed and she immediately put the gun to Jeff's head.

Charlotte: Damn it, let her go!

Jeff: You're the one who should get out of here.

Charlotte: I told you to let her go or I'll shoot you through the temple right now.

Jeff reluctantly let Evelyn go, allowing her to climb down from the hood of the car and hide next to Charlotte sobbing.

Charlotte: A woman crying like that means she doesn't want to be treated like that by you, you know?

Charlotte took Evelyn two steps back, keeping the gun aimed at Jeff.

……

Judging from the script that Su Lingxi got, this scene is very long and can be considered a major scene for Charlotte. The confrontation between the characters’ lines, eyes and actions is full of dramatic tension. While it tests the acting skills, it also leaves a lot of room for the actors to perform.

It can be seen that Li Shuo takes this audition very seriously - in other words, he values ​​the role of Charlotte very much.
