Chen Duo transmigrates to a parallel world. The once...
Chapter 64: The Capitalist
After Xia Dan returned, she learned about Sister Hua from her assistant.
She was fired by the company for dating an artist, and that artist seemed to have stabbed her in the back to show his loyalty to the company.
Sister Hua was hired back by the boss and given a super high annual salary. She wanted to do a great job, but when she took over, she found out that this was actually a shell company set up by a rich second-generation to support his internet celebrity girlfriend.
There are no serious artists at all, only internet celebrities who are the second generation of rich people.
She was the only one who came here for the filming. Furthermore, she was a professionally trained actress, and finally, she had a place to use her talents. How could Sister Hua not be happy? After all, before that incident, Sister Hua was a well-known gold medal agent in the industry.
The assistant whispered, "Sister Hua really values you and is even very grateful to the friend who recommended you in."
Xia Dan finally figured it out. She was the only artist in the company, and the rest were all relatives of the artist.
But looking at the extra two million in the card, who could say she wasn't the biggest relative?
All this happened because she met a soft-hearted God.
Xia Dan secretly made up her mind. Chen Duo was her benefactor, and she would do her best to repay her whenever she needed her.
Xia Dan still remembered Chen Duo saying she wanted to see her act the most. So she stayed up all night reading the script for the next day's audition until three in the morning.
She must get this notebook!
The next day, she woke up early and found Sister Hua at the bottom of her apartment building. Seeing Xia Dan coming down with no makeup on, Sister Hua frowned: "No makeup? You're going to an audition, not an art exam."
Xia Dan said, "But I saw that the script is a period drama. I thought a simpler look might be more suitable for the character."
Sister Hua sneered and didn't bother to talk nonsense with her. She directly dragged her to the styling studio and spent two hours applying light makeup with plain water, making her look like she had no makeup on.
There are so many good-looking girls in the entertainment industry that everyone on the set is very picky. If she goes without clothes, no one will like her at all.
Soon she arrived at the set. Many people were holding badges to get their numbers. Although she had no idea what was being filmed, after running through so many groups, Xia Dan knew at a glance that this was a big production.
Everyone was outside nervously holding a few thin scripts, making their own preparations.
"Which role are you going to try out for later?" A girl thought Xia Dan looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who she was, so she took the initiative to step forward and ask.
"Third female lead," Xia Dan said, handing her only two pages. With a general background and several characters with distinct personalities, she immediately fell in love with the third female lead, a shrew. This kind of role was something most beautiful women wouldn't be able to bring themselves to play, so this was her best opportunity.
Little did she know that when she said this, Sister Hua looked at her.
The girl breathed a sigh of relief. "I auditioned for the second female lead. I heard the lead role has already been chosen." She had originally wanted to audition for the lead role. What if? Even if it didn't work out, there were other roles for her if the director took a fancy to her. It was a shame she was already chosen internally.
She wanted to talk more, but Sister Hua said to Xia Dan, "Hurry up and prepare for the show."
The other party was abruptly interrupted and left in embarrassment.
Sister Hua said, "You can try out for the female lead role later."
"But she said the investors have already inserted some people." How can this be compared?
Sister Hua looked at her, her brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly: "Is it possible that she's talking about us?"
"ah?"
Sister Hua looked at her and said word by word, "You think Chen Duo and our boss are childhood friends. The boss values the people she recommends. Our boss has mines abroad... You'll find out later. In short, your goal is to win the female lead."
Xia Dan was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time. Then she said, "She has helped me so much. I really don't know how to repay her."
"Then stand at the highest point and make yourself useful." Sister Hua's voice was somewhat seductive.
Xia Dan fell into a trance for a second, and then her eyes gradually became firm. She couldn't let Chen Duo down.
She wants to win the leading female role.
Hua Jie was indeed a top-tier agent; she knew most of these actors, even if some were just 18th-tier stars or special guest actors. In her opinion, if it came down to acting, they couldn't compare to Xia Dan.
Xia Dan was only 19 when she filmed Camellia. Her performance was very much like a documentary, with no trace of acting at all.
If nothing unexpected happens, this role will be hers.
But I didn't want an accident to happen, and in the end, it happened anyway.
These people came in surrounded by a popular actor. She recognized the agent who was leading the group. He was the colleague who had reported her and caused her to lose her job. After she was disgraced, this man started dating the little star.
The two are both rivals in love and enemies.
The other person noticed her now. "Hey, Sister Hua, are you interviewing an artist?" She glanced at Xia Dan and said, "Are you also interviewing the female lead?" Her words were filled with a strong sense of sarcasm, making her feel uncomfortable.
