Chapter 6 Who were you
Chapter 6 Who were you
Director Bush was surprised. He didn't expect Alice's acting had improved so much. At the beginning, he invited Alice just because he was forced under the pressure of Brilliant Entertainment Co., Ltd..
But Alice's performance was completely beyond his imagination. With such excellent acting, she was capable of playing the heroine.
Director Bush was pleased with Alice who was going to step down. He hinted the assistant to continue the audition.
But just at the moment, a sound came from the backstage, "Alice’s good at acting? You must be kidding me."
Who was speaking? Everyone was curious and found that Helen, the heroine, came out and pointed at Anna standing in the center of the stage.
"I am sure you can’t be Alice. You must be her substitute. Take off your mask and show your face. I really want to know who you are."
"Helen, you are talking nonsense. Stop it or I will sue you for slander!" Tom was afraid people found her identity and ran to Anna quickly. He wouldn’t let anyone near her.
“Sue me for slander? Welcome. But first, let her take off her mask. And we will know if this woman is Alice.”
"Alice is ill heavily. If she takes off her mask, you will get infected with her disease. We can’t allow this happen. After all, we are not as selfish as you!" Tom was still trying to refute.
"Just admit you are afraid and stop finding such a bad excuse." Helen said with disdain, "You really think you can fool us with this bad excuse? We have basic medical knowledge."
"You..." Tom didn’t know how to talk back. He could only hint Anna under no circumstances should she take off her mask.
"Director Bush, what do we do next?" asked the assistant director. This discussion was getting heated. "There are a lot of reporters. I’m afraid..."
Director Bush frowned and looked at Anna in the stage.
"Alice, are you doing this to surprise us? Have you been improving your acting in secret recently?" A reporter asked her first. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Other reporters followed up. Tom was pushed away from Anna in chaos.
"Alice, are you really sick heavily? Why don't you take off your mask?"
"Are you Alice or not?"
Anna slowly lowered her head and glanced at anxious Tom far away. This was exactly what she wanted. She would destroy Alice. She took a deep breath and seemed to make up her mind. Then she took off her mask in public
She bowed to Director Bush, "Director Bush, I'm sorry. I'm not Alice."
“She’s Anna.” some reporter recognized her and shouted her name. Anna? How could Alice, the popular star good at hype, turn out to be Anna, the best actress? Everyone was confused. Anna hadn’t acted for two years and lost many fans. But nobody would expect her to perform an audition for others. She deserved better.
"What's going on? Where's Alice?"
"Anna, you have quit acting more than two years ago. How comes you appear here today?"
"Why do you audition for Alice? Do you aim to take this opportunity to make a drama and return to the showbiz?"
"We all know that after you quit acting, Brilliant Entertainment Company only not has boomed Alice's popularity with all resources, but also tries to make her an international movie star. Why do you choose to show up now? Do you deliberately plan this to replace Alice?"
Too many questions were pouring over. Anna didn’t know which to answer first. Nor did she know how to respond.
"People already forgot you..."
"You are good at acting, so what? You can do nothing if you don’t have resources!"
All the staff on the scene felt that they were cheated, including Director Bush. He sighed deeply. If Anna had told him in advance, he would be much honored and glad to have her in his movie. But now, she lied to everyone.
Anna was besieged by reporters in the middle of the stage and couldn’t find her way out. At this time, investors of this movie heard the news and came here immediately. One of them shouted angrily to Anna," Who do you think you are! How dare you audition for Alice! You are just nobody!"
Those words were so harsh and kept echoing in this small theater. Anna didn’t say anything and endured silently.
Though she had expected such a circumstance in advance, when it did occur, the humiliation was still too much for her. She couldn’t breathe now
All of sudden, the door opened and Jack walked in.
"How pathetic..."
His voice was as intoxicating as wine. Seeing him approaching, those reporters spontaneously stepped backward and made way for him...They all had heard of him, Jack, the president of Dahua Entertainment Company and the big shot in the showbiz.
