Mr. Finnegan raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Well, aren't you a sweet talker? So, how's my crew treating you?"
"Of course, they're great. But, Mr. Finnegan, was my scene okay?"
Mr. Finnegan raised an eyebrow and said, "How could it be okay? There were so many problems... Your acting was still a bit immature, and your emotions felt too forced. You tried too hard to be natural..."
"Uh...anything else?"
"Too much. Let's not talk about this right now. Makeup artist, come here!"
A makeup artist in the crew hurried over and asked, "Director, what's up?"
"Take this girl and give her a makeover. Keep it light... This girl is too pretty, so tone it down a notch... Then let's see how she looks."
Everyone was surprised and said, "Director, are you...going to let her audition? She's a newbie! Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"We're already halfway through filming this movie and this role has been dragging us down. It's so frustrating! Finally, we found someone who seems suitable, so of course we have to give it a try."
Seeing his impatience, no one dared to say anything else.
Maddie and Gillian were almost over the moon for Stephanie.
Good luck came so suddenly!
Stephanie was a bit confused and said, "Mr. Finnegan, you can't just throw me to the wolves and expect me to improvise. If you don't give me a script, I'm not going to audition."
Otherwise, she wouldn't know what to act, and then they'd criticize her performance.
This character was a crucial element in the protagonist's past...related to a major plot twist in the protagonist's background.
She was playing the protagonist's mother...
Three scenes, but three different personas... Stephanie felt all three were challenging, and she was a bit unsure.
So, after choosing the scene where she plays the beggar, Stephanie, under the pretense of going to the bathroom, called Ashley.
Ashley was shocked to hear that Stephanie was going to audition for Mr. Finnegan's movie.
"Steph...what kind of luck are you walking into?"
Stephanie chuckled, "Is this considered good luck?"
