Veronica glanced at Larry. She hesitated for a moment before speaking directly to the director. “Teacher, I don’t have much acting experience, but I shouldn’t have any problems with action scenes.”
“If you are fine with action scenes then I don’t think there will be an issue.” The director was very confident, adding, “What do you say if you spar with my martial arts actor and I’ll see how you do.”
After all, the ancient drama he worked on needed a supporting actress to play some roles. Ordinary actors with poor skills and no experience are not appealing to him; top-tier actors might have experience but they would not be interested.
He always valued the quality of the script and didn’t like to use special effects. He remembered Veronica after some consideration. “No problem.”
Veronica readily agreed. The director turned around and called a man standing in the distance. The man nodded slightly and walked over.
The man dressed in black casual clothes, had a sturdy muscular figure, giving a demeanor that indicated he had a certain level of martial arts proficiency.
“Let’s begin,” the director said. Veronica stood face to face with the sturdy man and said politely, “Let’s take it easy.”
“No need to hold back. Use any moves you have.” The sturdy man seemed to look down on Veronica. Perhaps he thought that she only knew some showy fighting techniques.
“Alright.” Veronica remained calm and composed. She took a step back before delivering a left hook aimed at the man’s chest. However, she deliberately slowed down her strike so that she could control her strength.
The sturdy man let out a scoff and smirked arrogantly as he stepped to the side. “Just as I thought, all show and no practical skills.”
Eleanor, who was sitting beside, shook her head. She felt that the man was ignorant and arrogant. Even she did not dare say such things to Veronica. This man was overconfident and truly ignorant of what was coming.
The sturdy man started to attack by kicking Veronica. She easily blocked it with her right arm and lifted her left leg to kick the man.
She used sixty percent of her strength in that kick. The man fell backwards and rolled over twice on the ground before he stopped when he crashed into a chair.
“Ouch, that hurts…” the sturdy man groaned in pain. He pointed at Veronica and complained to the director. “Although she can fight, she can’t control her strength. She’s not suitable to be an actress.”
Veronica’s gaze turned cold as she turned to the director and said, “I’m sorry director, I restrained my strength just now but he accused me of being all show and no practical skills. If I didn’t go all out, I was afraid I wouldn’t pass the audition.”
She despised this kind of self-righteous man. “Good Job!” Larry gave her a thumbs up. Then, he took out his phone and played a video for the director. “This video was taken during her visit to the ‘Interstellar’ set where she had a private sparring with Stephan. Here, have a look.”
The director and the judges gathered around to watch the video. They couldn’t help but nod in agreement and exchanged a glance before making the final decision. “Alright, this role is hers without a doubt.”
After Veronica heard the news, her mood instantly brightened, and she felt relieved from the bottom of her heart.
Suddenly, she felt grateful to Crayson. If he hadn’t been training her all this time, she probably wouldn’t have had the opportunity to become an actress. It was also because of this advantage that she had the chance to secure a role in the cast.
“I’ll have my assistant bring you the script. We’ll sign the contract later. Take this time to read the script carefully and I’ll notify you once we start filming,” the bald director told her.
“Should I enroll in an acting class during this time?” Veronica asked. During her previous performance in ‘Interstellar,’ she was still working as a model at Sean Ludwig’s Starshine Media Agency. During her employment there, Sean Ludwig saw her potential and hired a professional teacher from Horizon Theatre Academy to teach her acting.
