Chapter 8 Sign a Contract Unexpectedly
Bella pursed her lips.
She had nothing to do with Sherry's failure.
"You, start now." With an impatient wave of his hand, Director Chandler said to Bella, "Hurry up, I have limited time."
If his boss hadn't suddenly given such an inexplicable order, he wouldn't be wasting his time here.
Sherry's acting was so bad that he wanted to see her for an extra second. He guessed that the girl named Bella would not be better.
"Okay."
Bella received the simple script yesterday. Not getting her hopes up, she began her performance.
The film's name was Blind Heart. Some people in this world were blind in their eyes but not in their hearts while some were blind in their eyes but not in their hearts.
She was supposed to audition for the role of the heroine's daughter, a blind girl.
She didn't even have a few lines in the whole story. The most frequent words she said was - Mom, don't leave me behind. Mom, don't cry. I'll be fine.
A normal person had to play a blind person. That would be undeniably hard.
In an instant, Bella's entire aura changed abruptly.
She stood still, raising her clear eyes.
Andy Chandler, who was originally impatient, was attracted by her instantly after unintentionally glancing at her. He stared at without turning away his eyes.
The others couldn't help looking at her as well.
As for Sherry, her disdain on her face was replaced by disbelief.
How amazing Bella's eyes were! They seemed despairing, but they were full of hope and expectation for the light.
"Mom, don't cry."
She smiled faintly. Although her pupils were unfocused, they didn't look empty. Her smile was pure and beautiful.
"Awesome!"
The next second, Andy roared with excitement, "My blind girl, this is the blind girl I'm looking for!"
"......."
Bella was directly scared out of the play by him.
"What's your name? Which school did you graduate from? No, that does not matter. I'm just asking you if you can start acting the day after tomorrow." Andy ran over, no longer as lazy and proud as just now. He held her hand with his eyes lighting up!
"The role of this blind daughter is yours and yours alone! Come on, let's sign a contract now!"
"......."
It all came so fast like a tornado.
Before Bella came to her senses, Sherry suddenly opened her mouth with a look of displeasure, ''Director Chandler, I'm not convinced! Bella is just a graduate of a bad school without qualifications or good education. And I don't think she has a better performance than me."
"Qualifications? Good education? Are these things edible?"
Andy gave her a sidelong glance, his tone disdainful, ''As for acting, she is way much better than you! I'm looking for a blind girl of sincerity, goodness and beauty, not a coquettish woman who pretends to be innocent!"
"......."
Being so demeaned by Andy in front of so many people, Sherry could not help bursting into tears.
Thinking of her contempt for Bella earlier, she only felt her cheeks burning with shame, and the whispers coming from all around her made her feel even worse!
"Sherry is also pitiful. Why does she make a fool of herself? She should know clearly that Director Chandler is so mean."
"She is beaten by a newcomer. It's no wonder that she could not accept the fact."
"Who is this newcomer? I feel she's going to be a hit."
"......."
In the end, Sherry could not stand any more of their mockery. She resentfully glared at Bella, covered her face, and stumbled out.
Since the result of the audition was announced, the other candidates had to leave successively though feeling disappointed.
Soon, the only people left in the hall were Andy and his staff together with Bella.
The Shawn upstairs yawned with a faint smile curving his thin red lips. He gave her a significant look.
Seeing her excited smile, he couldn't help laughing along with her, and then he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
"Carl, give her the gift I've prepared and let her have some more fun."
"OK."
Shawn smiled with a slight hint of evilness. His eagle eye fixed on Bella aggressively like a hunter had seen his favorite prey and could not wait to catch it.
Bella was very excited about the success of the audition.
A million dollars!
As long as her scenes were done, she would get paid a million dollars!
Andy was also excited and anxious to sign a contract with her.
Just as Bella was about to agree, a cold voice sounded from far to near.
"Excuse me. Let me negotiate the contract thing with Miss Jones."
Bella followed the sound and turned around.
She saw a handsome young man in a white casual suit gracefully walked over, with an aura of nobility.
He firstly glanced at Andy, gesturing for him to be quiet. Afterwards, he turned to Bella who was puzzled and gave her a leisure smile.
"Hello, Miss Jones. My name is Carl Evans. I'm in charge of signing contracts in this company."
"Hello." Bella responded politely, "I'd love to sign up."
Carl smiled and made a polite gesture, "Follow me please."
Following him, Bella made her way to an office upstairs.
"It's the contract."
Receiving the thick stack of documents handed over by Carl, Bella cautiously began to read them.
Having just read the first page, she frowned. "That's not right. I only agree to sign a contract for this film instead of making a contract with your company."
Carl's face did not change. His gentle and unhurried smile on the corner of his mouth made people unconsciously have a good impression on him.
"Miss Jones, our company has an unwritten rule: any big film that Sky Entertainment Group makes must be starred by internal entertainers. If you want to get this role, you must sign up with us."
Bella frowned. "How is that possible? I don't believe it!"
There was no such rule!
Carl didn't refute her either, and he said a few words that put her in a dilemma. "You can choose to sign up or not."
He made a gesture towards her as if he was not forcing her and it was up to her, making Bella grind her teeth!
How could she be willing to give up when she saw a million dollars at her fingertips?
In fact, she originally wanted to sign up with a company. As the top one entertainment company in show business across the country, Bella found it flattering that Sky Entertainment Group offered to sign up with such a newcomer like her.
However, there was a problem.
This was Shawn's company!
She didn't want to have anything to do with that demon at all!
"Can I ask why you guys would want to sign a contract with me? I know your company sets the bar very high. I also heard that some time ago you rejected an A-list female star who wanted to sign up with you. I'm just a newcomer to show business. I do not understand."
She was as wary as Young Master had guessed.
"It's simple."
With a flash of light in his eyes, Carl repeated Shawn's reply word by word, "Because I believe that one day in the future, you will be a big hit and become a superstar in the show business."
"......."
Bella was shocked in her heart.
At this moment, she was surprisingly somewhat moved.
