Despite not having a formal education in acting. Veronica had studied acting for three months, so she had some basic acting skills. “Yes, you can.” The director, Sam Symons, nodded and showed great confidence in Veronica.
“Thank you, teacher.” Veronica bowed and followed an assistant to the next room, where she received the script and contract.
While she was reading the contract, in the audition room, Sam received a phone call. “Sam, Hello, I’m Eviette Robins. I heard that you’re shooting a period drama and need a female actress?”
“E… Evie?” Sam was puzzled as he held the phone in front of him and glanced at the unfamiliar number. He was overjoyed. “Ah, yes, we are, we are. We’re currently auditioning for the female lead in the period drama.”
“I know that you’re a very dedicated director, and I’ve watched the dramas you’ve directed before. I really liked them. I wonder if I have a chance to audition for your female lead?”
After hearing that Veronica was auditioning for Sam’s drama, Evie immediately found Sam’s contact information. She was confident that she could win over Matthew.
However, she had doubts about Veronica and Matthew’s sudden divorce, so she also wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Veronica and assess the situation. If they were really divorced, Evie would have an even greater advantage over Matthew.
“Hahaha, of course, of course. Whenever you have time, you can come over anytime.” Sam nodded eagerly. Everyone in the entertainment industry knew about Evie.
She was one of the few actresses who possessed both luck and talent. Despite only acting in three period dramas, she had won the Best Female Lead and Best Actress awards.
Moreover, each of her three period dramas had consistently topped the ratings charts and became classics, earning her the title of “Classical Goddess.”
However, Evie had disappeared from the screen for quite a while after that. Sam even thought she had retired, so he was pleasantly surprised when she suddenly contacted him, wanting to audition for the female lead in his period drama. This good news came too quickly. “What’s going on?” Larry Freeman, the investor of this TV series, asked as he looked at Sam.
Sam pointed at his phone, excitedly said, “It’s Evie. She wants to audition for the female lead in this drama.” “Didn’t she retire?” someone else asked.
Sam shook his head. “I’m not sure. But this drama has a big female lead role, which is very suitable for Evie. With her presence and the fact that Veronica Murphy is Matthew Kings’ ex- wife, it’s like getting free publicity and attention for our drama. It’s like getting free exposure, Hahaha…”
“That makes sense.”
Larry didn’t object. Although he felt a little uncomfortable with Sam’s statement about “Veronica Murphy being Matthew Kings’ ex-wife is a way to attract attention,” it wasn’t a bad thing for Veronica right now. Besides, Veronica and Matthew were only pseudo-divorced.
Afterward, Sam signed a contract with Veronica. Although the remuneration wasn’t high, Veronica was more interested in acting rather than the pay.
Veronica left the media company satisfied with Shirley. Shortly after their departure, Evie arrived at the media company for her audition.
Sam and Larry Freeman had no objections to her acting skills and discussed the remuneration with her before readily signing the contract.
Thus, the female lead and the supporting role of the female bodyguard in this major period drama were finally decided.
