Chapter 5 Act like a film queen

Gradually, the small theater is full of people. As the director enters the stage, all actors and actresses go to the stage to prepare for the play. Anna wears a mask, and her hair is scattered, only showing a pair of eyes decorated with false eyelashes. She sits on the left side of the stage with Tom, and she quietly looks at the direction of the stage. Those people who are familiar with her, will know that now she has entered the state of audition. Tom whispers in Anna’s ear, "Pretend to read the script, perform casually on stage, pretend to faint. Then I send you back to the room, and your task is completed." "Then, is the character Alice’s?" Anna pretends to be surprised and asks. Everyone relies on the strength, but Alice relies on Black’s shameless means. "Of course, you just need to play ’faint’ well, and don’t add action by yourself at random." Tom gets up and answers a phone. Tom’s warning, on the contrary it has woken up Anna. She looks at the script, the red lips under her mask slightly arouse, which means she has an idea in her heart. As she looks up again, her eyes are full of tears because she sympathizes with the life of Jane. The staff goes up to her, "Alice, the next one is you." Anna nods up, in order not to let Tom know her plan, she also deliberately pretends to cough two times. Tom takes this opportunity to explain, "Alice is ill because of the play these days and now she has a high fever. But she attaches great importance to the character, despite my opposition, she still insists on coming to the audition." After saying this, he also deliberately looks at Anna with worry and smiles sadly, shaking his head. After Tom said that, Anna notices that people around her change their look to her. They are envy and jealous, but at the same time, suddenly there is more admire. Anna sneers in her heart, in order to package Alice as a kind and dedicated person, Black is really doing his best. Let’s wait and see, she will not let them succeed. Alice must be defeated today. Anna goes on the stage step by step, although she wears a hat and mask, because of Tom’s explanation just now, Director Bush just looks at her and sighs, without saying much. She gently loosens her hat, lowers her long hair, tucks behind her ears, and covers her face with only a mask. She slowly turns around and goes around the stage three times. It seems to be unconscious action, but she is already in the status of performing. Tom is quickly adjusting mood under the stage, and ready to pretend to panicly rush up to hold the faint Anna. But it is unexpected that Anna suddenly turns around, she not only does not faint, but also knees on the stage to cry. Her voice changed from weak strong, her shoulders are also slightly trembling, from the throat choking out a line, "How can you leave me alone?" Her voice just falls and she raises her head, the tears that blindfold her eyes, just fall down from her canthus. That’s real acting skill! All the directors and staff present are moved by the scene. The most important of the role of Jane is the crying scene, which was played by Anna very well! Compared with the actresses who just performed the crying scene, her expression is more realistic and accurate, so that the audience can empathize with her. According to the description on the script, Jane will be abandoned after the pain, and tears bath her cheeks all day. But the performance of Anna not only shows that Jane represses the inner pain, but also a kind of rebirth feeling. When she sits on the floor of the stage, clasps her hands around her knees and utters the second line, everyone couldn’t help clapping for her performance. This is not a simple audition, it is completely an acting skill of top level. She performs the role of Jane excellently, which lets everyone who has watched it will never forget it! Director Bush sits in his chair and takes a deep breath. His eyes are full of surprise. "That’s her! She’s the Jane whom I’m looking for!" The assistant director immediately announces, Tthe third female role Jane is played by Alice." Anna slowly stands up from the stage, and she sees excited light in Tom’s eyes. Her thin lips slightly rise up under the mask. Don’t worry, my performance is not finished. In the last row of the small theater, the man who is as noble as a king, folds his hands on the trousers, and his cool and proud eyes stay on the face of Anna. So cold he is, he was also shocked by her acting skill just now. The previous grand slam film queen is really extraordinary, and he does not ignore the mood that the woman hide.
