Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 44

“Director Woods! At least give me a chance. Seven minutes, no, five minutes! Five minutes is fine, Director Daniel Woods!”

The door to the inner room opened when both sides were in a heated dispute. Daniel stuck half of his body out and asked with furrowed brows, “What’s with all the ruckus out here?”

The staff was about to explain, but Stella suddenly broke loose from the two men. She got ahead of the men and said, “Director Woods, I am the seventeenth actor to audition, Stella Jewell. Please give me a chance to audition.”

Daniel scanned her up and down and asked, “There is no information about you from the resume sent.”

“I’m Stella Jewell, 25 years old this year. I’m a graduate of the theater department of Trinity Film Academy’s nineteenth session.”

“What works have you done?” Daniel asked.

Stella tightened her grip and said in a low voice, “None.”

“None.” Daniel was slightly surprised. “Did you change careers after graduating?”

“No…” Stella paused and then proceeded to say, “After I graduated, I haven’t been working due to personal reasons. I have only acted in a few school plays.” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Then, it means there is no acting experience,” Daniel said.

Stella did not speak, which counted as agreeing by default.

“Since your graduation three years ago, you have never pursued this career. So, Why do you want to do it now?”

To speak of nostalgia in front of a director who had seen grander events like Daniel Woods was a joke. The people he had seen were more than the food she had ingested, so Stella spoke truthfully. “I need money.”

Daniel glanced at her, as he was astonished. Stella continued, “I also need a job that could be recognized to prove my worth. Director Woods, I beg you to give me a chance to audition and also give this role a chance to choose its actor.”

Daniel smiled lightly. “You’re a young lady, yet your ego is enormous. Who gave you the confidence even though you don’t have any experience in acting?”

Stella shook her head. “I am merely betting on your cautiousness in choosing roles.”

Daniel did not say anything. A flurry of sound came from inside the room. Then, she saw Daniel enter the room and emerge from inside a moment later.

The instant the door closed, Stella saw the legs of a pair of jeans gleaming in the room. The legs were long and curvy but disappeared in a blink of an eye.

“Alright, I’ll give you this chance. Mr. Sheperd, give her the lines.” Daniel looked at the time and added, “I will give you five minutes to remember your lines which will include your performance. When you’re ready, we will start”

Stella immediately steeled her nerves and quickly dipped her head to read her lines. They were competing for the role of the fourth female main character, a consort who had entered the palace together with the main female lead. In the beginning, they were very good friends and had always

helped each other. However, as both were bestowed titles, a rift occurred in their relationship. In the end, the

best friends turned on each other.

Daniel had given her the scene where the main female lead found out that the one who had poisoned her was actually her best friend. It was the climax of the story where the best friends became enemies. There were three pages of the script, and the emotions switching was extremely quick. Doing it in a single take would test the actor’s skill to the extreme.

The room was silent, with only the sound of Stella flipping through the pages. After two minutes, Stella lifted her head and said, “I can do it now.”

Daniel nodded his head and then said, “Begin.”

Stella then lifted her gaze. The calm expression from earlier was no more. She immediately changed into a frail state and said, “My Lord, I entered the palace with Delilah at the young age of sixteen, and I have a strong friendship with her. When she was punished by Lady Alcott, it was I who braved the dangers to save her. Due to that, I have suffered from chronic coughing. Every night, I am unable to sleep peacefully. I treated her like a sister, so why would I have the heart to harm her?”

Once her lines were said, everyone present was stunned. Stella’s lines were delivered spectacularly to the point of being horrifying. Once she had opened her mouth, her emotions were focused on the character. Her previously hard–edged face was able to make a delicate yet aggrieved expression. Yet, there was no feeling of contradiction. One could even feel that what she had said was the truth, and she was the one who was actually being falsely accused.
