30 Chapter 30: Put A Good Word

When Edie was led into the office, she was shocked. The producer, Director Lane, Mrs. Hue-kung, and her translator were sitting in a row, looking at her with different looks, which was like a joint hearing.

Edie had seen this numerous times. She was perfectly calm and collected. "Good afternoon, everyone. I am Edie Lara." They were all studying her. Her skin was as delicate as a porcelain doll. Her eyes were bright, and her nose was firm and upright.

Most importantly, her temperament was graceful and stylish. In the entertainment industry, pretty women were not rare, but beautiful women with both elegant and innocent characters were extraordinary. Edie was the type.

Director Lane cried out in his heart, "awesome." But he revealed nothing on his face."Well, Miss Lara, take some makeup photos first," Edie agreed and left.

At the very beginning, the center of the dispute was the quality of the new actress. After they all saw her, the producer was finally relieved and even felt proud. "Hey, Mrs. Hue-kung, how is she?" The translator helped, but Mrs. Hue-kung didn't answer.

She's the gold screenwriter in South Korea, and she has a high demand for the actors and actresses. At first, she chose Zoe as the supporting actress because she watched her previous work and recognized her acting skills.

She supported her just because Zoe cried to her on the phone, and she thought it was unfair. She had to admit that she had a prejudice against Edie. She began to wobble.

Susan Wilson, in theWhite-Love Song, was an innocent and pure girl. The moment Mrs. Hue-kung saw Edie, she felt something similar in her clean, pure, and unthreatening manner. Especially her shining eyes. They were so genuine and sparkling as if they were a spring.

"After the styling, let her try a few shots." Mrs. Hue-kung finally responded. The producer almost jumped in a thrill. He knew it was nearly done. He started to think about how to make full use of the extra capital.

Edie's style was not complicated because this was a modern drama, especially since her hair was long and straight, just like the role required. After half an hour, she finished hairstyling and looked at herself in the mirror; Edie was extraordinarily beautiful.

The acting was hard. Susan Wilson was a born mute. She was the mayor's daughter, but she was brought to an asylum when she was taken by mistake. At the age of fourteen, she was found by her parents.

Since then, the heroine went back to her own life and had to part with her beloved boyfriend, the hero. Susan felt guilty. What was worse, she had a crush on the hero, but she had to conceal her feelings. In the end, she died in an accident and donated her heart to the heroine, who had heart disease.

Edie cried when she read the script. Susan was so kind, innocent, and also brave. She was like an angel. All her giving was for love. Edie believed she could win more fans if she performed well, and her career would definitely take a step to the next level. She was determined to get it.

When Edie walked into the office again, everyone was shocked. She just changed her style, but her temperament was very different. She had on an elegant white dress, subtle hair, with a shy smile. Especially her big deer-like eyes were fascinating, as clean as if not polluted by the earthly world. For about ten seconds, the office was quiet.

"How… how about giving it a try?" Director Lane tried hard to keep calm. He was shocked by her quick change. Edie was already getting inside the character. She gestured in the air, indicating she couldn't speak. They didn't expect she would enter into it so naturally.

Mrs. Hue-kung stood up suddenly, her chair was pushed far away from making a harsh sound. She ignored it and blurted out of a bunch of Korean words. Director Lane and the producer looked at the translator helplessly. "Mrs. Hue-kung said the girl is Susan Wilson, and that's who she wants." The translator helped.

Mrs. Hue-kung ignored everything around her, just rushed over to Edie, saying something no one could understand except the translator. "Mrs. Hue-kung said your feeling was right. You were the Susan Wilson- the kindness and innocence are from the bottom of your heart, like an angel, always thinking for others. Miss Lara, you are also an angel."

Edie thanked both Miss Kim and the translator. The producer chuckled and whispered in the ear of DirectorLane. "She changes rapidly. She would rather cut off the cooperation than replace Zoe. But now…"

"You should be happy. The artists pay more attention to feeling and not your money. Now she likes Edie. Everybody is happy, right?"

"Right, right, you are artists. Let me deal with the earthly matters." Director Lane touched his chin. "Edie Lara is excellent. Why hasn't she come for an audition before? She doesn't have to bribe with money."

"Audition? Would you have given her a chance? She's an unknown star with no representative work. You wouldn't have given her resume a glance if she came in."

"Well, the rules. Who's behind her?"

"We'd better not discuss it. I just heard he's from the top, not the seniors." A name flashed in Director Lane's head, and he stopped the discussion instantly.

Edie went to the studio to take a set of makeup photos and promotional photos and then signed the contract. The producer greeted her at the door. "Miss Lara, please give us more support and help us put in a good word…"

"Put in a good word?" Edie felt confused. The producer was experienced in this industry. He instantly recognized that she might want to conceal the secret, which was normal in their circle. He immediately gave her a thoughtful look and changed the conversation. "I know. I mean, we hope to work with the Star Entertainment. Please put in a good word for us."

"Of course, my pleasure." Edie nodded. After saying goodbye to the producer, Edie couldn't hold back her excitement any longer. She wanted to share it with someone. She didn't expect the first name that would appear in her mind would be Stuart.

Edie bit her lips and thought if she should give him a call. Stuart looked down upon her career, Edie figured. He wouldn't understand her feelings if she were to tell him that she got the supporting actress in the White-Love Song. He would probably mock her.

Her phone rang in time to interrupt her growing depression. It's Melissa Yvette. "Hey, Edie, let's have dinner together tonight. I am so excited." Melissa exclaimed on the phone. She was in an excellent mood. Edie could feel her blood was full of smiles even through the phone.

Edie was also infected and responded. "Okay, I'll pick you up at your company later." She went to the underground parking lot and drove straight to Melissa's company.

When Melissa got out of the car, she couldn't stop laughing. "I'm so happy today. Our chief editor, the mean Grande, actually gave me a bonus today. You know how stingy he used to be, right? My goodness, I finally got my bonus. I'll give you a big treat tonight."
