Chapter 6 Acting Skill

Because Director Zedd has spoken, Mia has to follow suit no matter how unwilling she is, she is not willing to lose to Ashley on this occasion. Ashley got what she wanted, originally, she had thought of several plans, but she never expected that everything would go so smoothly. "Director, can we make some preparations?" After all, this is a costume drama, Ashley felt that it is necessary to create a little atmosphere, not to mention that the role she auditioned for also needs some external force to add luster. "I'll give you ten minutes." There is a small changing room in the audition studio, the time is limited, so Ashley and Mia can only change clothes together. After changing her clothes, Mia took out her cosmetics from her bag and applied them to her face. Frankly speaking, Mia is also a beauty, after all, she inherited Sally's facial features. When she was young, Sally beat several people to marry Bobby Sanchez. It's just that Mia has made up her mind and wanted the role of the heroine, even if it would definitely not be suitable for her. Her eyes are too sharp, and her facial features are not of the pure type, which contrasts too much with the innocent and kind-hearted heroine in the play. In fact, she is more suitable to play the role of the second female lead. She is a little savage and quite scheming, which is the reason for her success in her previous life. In comparison, Ashley knows that her own image is not dominant. But fortunately, she is a more malleable type, and more importantly, she is confident enough in her acting skills. Ashley took out the lipstick, and in front of the mirror, dotted the corners of the eyes, forehead, and cheeks respectively, instantly making the original pretty appearance become unparalleled charming. Lily was also a delicate girl with a pure heart. It was love and interest that blinded her eyes, causing her to gradually blacken and lose her original self. Ashley has the confidence to act well in such a process of change. For the director, the darkened Lily is the most difficult point, and if she can be recognized through this scene, then she will have a lot of weight in getting this role increased. "Don't go..." Ashley was stopped by Mia as soon as she turned around. "What's wrong? The director is still waiting for us outside!" Ashley looked at her in confusion. "Ashley, the role of the heroine is mine, don't try to steal it from me!" Mia said almost commandingly. Ashley looked at her, then smiled brightly, "Don't worry, sister, I will never snatch it from you!" After speaking, Ashley walked out. In the center of the audition booth, Mia was dressed in white, her makeup was charming and coquettish, her big eyes seemed to be soaked in water, and she said resentfully, "Lily, why did you betray me? You know that the person I love the most is him, why do you want to take him away?" Ashley, who was dressed in a blue shirt, had waist-length hair, except for the embellishments she made before, she deliberately wiped off her lip makeup, and her pair of jet-black eyes were particularly deep, looking haggard but without losing the aura. A smile slowly bloomed at the corner of her mouth, and then she laughed out loud, "Haha... haha..." When she looked up to the sky and smiled, tears rolled down the corners of her eyes, leaving faint watermarks on her cheeks. When Ashley looked at Mia again, her tears had already stopped, and she smiled more and more heart-wrenchingly, "Sister, do you know that once... how desperately I wanted to be your good sister. I never had the idea of betraying you, but... I also have feelings! You love Yohannes, and I love Yohannes, so why can't I take him away?" "You..." Mia clutched her chest and staggered sadly, "But he is my lover." "Haha... your lover?" Ashley's pale lips did not have a trace of blood, and her eyes were shining desperately, "My love for him is no less than yours. My dear sister, are you willing to exchange your life for his?" "..." Mia's eyes narrowed. ."Sister, don't worry. Yohannes is yours. He is yours from the beginning to the end." Ashley raised her head slightly, looking at the sky with a blurred gaze. Suddenly, a strange light bloomed in her eyes, As if living towards death, the next second, she swung the sword in her hand and wiped it towards her neck, her soft and light body fluttered down like a fallen leaf... " "Lily, you..." "Sister ..." Ashley's face was as white as a piece of paper, and her lips moved, "Although I love him, he only loves you." "Lily, why are you doing this? You...." Ashley shook her head, and smiled desolately, "Even if I don't do this, my life will not be long!" "What? What do you mean?" "I have been poisoned, and there is no cure for it." Ashley tore in pain, twitching the corners of her mouth, "I don't want... to die with all my internal organs ripped apart and extremely ugly." "You... have been poisoned? Could it be that..." Ashley smiled the most beautifully, "From the moment I decided to exchange his drink from the Duke, I have no intention of regretting it. Yes, in this life, he loves you, but his life is exchanged for mine. Even if you can be together, in this life, He is destined to never forget me. Sister, don't blame me, you have too much in this life, but I... can only be your shadow forever." "Lily, that's not the case!" Ashley shook her head, " Sister, in the next life, I don't want to know you again! I just want to be Lily, not your shadow." After finishing speaking, Ashley's hand slipped down slowly, while closing her eyes, a tear flowed from the corner of her eyes. A long time after a scene ended, the audition booth was silent, and almost everyone was brought into a sad and unable to extricate themselves mood. Ashley's performance was sensational and full of tension, instantly catching the heartstrings of the onlookers, and even Director Zedd was amazed. He looked at the nineteen-year-old girl in front of him and didn't speak for a while. "Legend of the Flower" is the first mythological and fantasy drama he has cast, and he attaches great importance to casting. In his opinion, the most difficult role in this film is not the female lead, but the second female lead who has a lot of rivalry with the female lead and the male lead. This is a character with a complex and changeable personality. If you don't have certain acting skills, it is difficult to be able to control this role. It's not that he didn't consider using some well-known actors, but the gap in the image is too big. It's hard for those old fritters with profound acting skills to show the innocence of Lily's first foray into the world, while actors who are too young lack acting skills. Therefore, he thought of using audition to try his luck, but he didn't expect it, what a surprise. Whether it is Ashley's appearance or acting skills, he is very satisfied. On the other side, Ashley and Mia had already stood up, but compared to Mia who had put away her tears and put on a smile, Ashley was still immersed in the role, unable to restrain her emotions. "Miss Sanchez, welcome to the crew of "Legend of the Flower." Director Zedd stepped forward and directly announced Ashley's joining. Even with such confidence, Ashley never thought that Director Zedd would immediately and personally announce that she would play the role of the second female lead. "Director Zedd, thank you!" "Hey... Director Zedd..." Seeing this situation, Mia became impatient, "I..." "Miss Sanchez, you did a good job, go back and wait for the announcement!" Compared to the enthusiasm towards Ashley, the attitude towards Mia is much more formulaic. "Hey... Director Zedd, I..." Director Zedd stopped talking to her and continued talking to Ashley. Mia walked out of the audition booth boringly, but she was unwilling to leave, and Ashley did not come out until 20 minutes later. When Ashley come out, she rushed forward without thinking, "Ashley, what did Director Zedd tell you?" Ashley glanced at her lightly, then smiled and said, "I'm really sorry, I can't tell you what Director Zedd told me." "You... what did you say?" Mia grabbed Ashley, "Tell me, why did Director Zedd choose you as the second female lead so suddenly? Have you... did something shameful behind your back?" In one sentence, it was like a thorn that pierced her heart. The past of the previous life was like a tide rushing into Ashley's heart, she clenched her hands secretly, and her eyes froze. Mia was stunned, and she couldn't help taking a step back, Ashley's expression made her feel scared, but she still gritted her teeth, glared at her, and said, "What? Don't you dare say so?" "Hmph... Mia!" Ashley sneered, "It doesn't matter how I got this role, you should worry about yourself If you can’t play the heroine, aren’t your thoughts in vain?” “You…” Mia didn’t even say a word when she was bullied. Ashley has taken advantage of the current situation, and she really can't bear this tone. She must get the heroin role, even if it uses any means. After successfully teasing Mia, Ashley only felt comfortable physically and mentally. Her steps were brisk walking, but she didn't expect when she turns a corner, she bumps into someone. ***
