19 (Chapter 19) Breaking And Rebuilding Hearts 4
Stella watched the celebration from outside a window. She looked inside to lip-read what was being said.
"Yuon and Zou are at suitable age of marriage... So in 3 months, they will be having a ceremony at the newly built leisure center the Fude family will be constructing." Ryan announced which earned flashes of the camera.
It seems this was the real reason for the happy occasion. Instead of directly celebrating Housekeeper We's birthday... They announced this. Smart...
Stella watched as Housekeeper We's gaze was on Zou. It was full of love. "This man doesn't hide it well." Stella mumbled as a guard stumbled into the hall...
Stella smiled and turned away, her job was now done...
Stella walked over to the homeless shelter. While Miss Fia was surprised to see Stella in the state he was in, she didn't ask about it and just offered a space.
..........
"Wow. I never expected you would be on time." Tracy mumbled as she watched Stella play games.
*Snort* "This Master loathes tardiness. When will the audition start?" Stella asked as she put down her phone.
This was true. Stella hated people being late. It might be a small thing to others but to her, it could be crucial. She hated the idea of people being late to important situations...
"Alright, do you have a vehicle? I noticed you don't drive." Tracy then asked an important question.
Stella shrugged her shoulders. "Doesn't matter when Sis Tracy can drive. Why should I? Stella fired back.
'Forget I asked.' Tracy thought as she left to drive Stella to the audition.
..........
"That man... Am I in heaven?"
"Jesus! Isn't that Tracy? Since when did she take a new artist?"
"That man has a godly face... Even if his acting his terrible he will be considered."
Some men mumbled, they weren't happy that some incredible looking guy turned up and made some handsome guys look like dirt to him.
"Just ignore the comments, have you memorized the script?" Tracy asked as they sat down at the back.
Stella didn't reply but instead closed her eyes!
Tracy just wanted to dig a hole. Why did she think taking this guy was a good idea?
The auditions normally lasted 30 seconds. Some not even 10 seconds. As one after another left, they eventually reached Stella...
*Cough* Tracy lightly coughed and Stella awoke immediately. "Number 67, it's your turn." An assistant said with a tired voice.
"Good luck," Tracy said in worry, she didn't know the acting skills of the man but his looks could get him by...
"Hmph, this Master doesn't need any luck." Stella chuckled as she walked toward the room.
Stella walked on to a stage and looked at the people watching her. She saw the Screenwriter, Producer, and Director Guzou.
"What's your name." The Producer asked with a forced smile.
"Zhou." Stella replied with a lazy tone.
They all suddenly became angry. "Do you think this is a game? Show some more effort here." The Producer shouts at Stella.
"Mmm, what scene?" Stella rode it like a swan and didn't care.
Director Guzou's eyes narrowed. 'This man isn't normal.' He thought.
The others were all tested this way. Some got scared immediately, that wasn't what they wanted. While some were shaken with having the Producer shout at them...
"How dare you ask? We will tell you when we are finished addressing the issue here! Are you taking this as a joke!?" The producer seemed to be extremely angry.
Stella just yawned. Making their faces crack. "Your acting is lousy, what scene will I be playing?" Stella commented as they all blanked.
'What? He didn't seem to be interested at all? It was perfect!'
The Second Male lead was someone incredibly talented in the story. He fancied the female lead but was too lazy to get stronger and become the holder of 'The Golden Sword' so he just gave up. Stella's apathetic tone was making him perfect in their minds...
"Scene 12." Director Guzou called out. Making the Screenwriter look at him strangely.
This was a scene where the Second Male Lead was confessing his love for the Female Lead. However, the Male lead cuts in and steals the show.
It was a difficult scene. Stella would have to pull off multiple emotions in just 10 seconds. While not having anybody to act with!
Stella nodded. "You have 10 seconds to be in character." Director Gozou said with a stern face.
Almost immediately Stella's aura and expression changed into a lovelorn youth. Someone with his first crush in his grasp. All he cared about was her. She was his life.
The Director was so surprised at the sudden shift. Even the best actors couldn't instantly change like that... 'This guy is a gem' He inwardly thought as he watched the show.
"E-Emma... I-I love you... I a-always have!" Stella looked like a lovelorn youth nervously confessing his love.
But then suddenly the Female Lead turns around and rejects him... Then the Male Lead comes along... Confesses in front of his good friend and the Female Lead says yes...
Stella's emotions were depression, love, sadness, he wanted answers. 'Why? Was he not good enough?' Then a hatred came 'Friend? Didn't he say he was going to support him? Why was he doing this? Did you only accept his confession because he owns the Golden Sword?'
They didn't dare breathe loudly. They were watching a genius! They could feel his emotions through his eyes. They could feel his thoughts! They even sympathized with the man who ends up a villain.
Then Stella suddenly changes back to a laid back attitude, looking at the group of three men with a smile.
The silence was deafening.
"Yes! That's perfect! It's better than what I was imagining! The way you could feel the emotions and feelings... It was like you were right next to him!" Gozou jumped up out of the seat and praised Stella.
The Producer and Screenwriter nodded their heads enthusiastically. "Agreed. It was beyond what we were expecting. Would you be interested in the Male Lead instead?" The Producer asked, it was a rumor who they had settled on... But rumors can always be wrong.
"No need," Stella said, she needed to be the Second Male Lead.
The SML ended up being the villain. He ended up defeating the ML and professing his love for the FL! The ML had ended up over his head when he gained the Golden Sword. So the FL lead wasn't treated well. But the story ends happily with the SML to get with the FL!
"Yes, yes. Invite your manager in quick. We need to discuss contracts." Gozou was shaking from so much excitement. He thought he would need to settle for average this time! He didn't care if he had never heard of this guy before... His acting was perfect!
Gozou's rumor of not picking new actors wasn't entirely true. He just normally made films that required some more emotional maturity. And older actors were more natural at picking up problems with life. Despite that, he would love to know who this guy is...
Tracy was surprised to be invited inside. She came in to see Stella sitting on the chair playing games... "He's your artist Tracy!? You've hit a gold mine! This guy has some superior acting skills!" Gozou could barely keep his excitement inside him.
Tracy was shocked. *Cough* "Of course, the Second Master would never assign poor artists." She said with a weird tone of voice. If Gozou was literally shaking from excitement... The man should be a godly actor.
The contract was settled. Since Gozou wanted to keep Stella in his movie the contract was changed slightly for more bonuses. Stella didn't care but it was Tracy's livelihood after all... She was quite the savvy negotiator.
