“Why don’t… we let Miss Charlotte give it a try?” The director’s gaze stopped on Charlotte.

Everyone looked at Charlotte curiously.

“Huh? Me?” Charlotte looked at the director in shock.

“Yes, you,” the director said.

The staff at the side could not help but look at Evans awkwardly.

When he was preparing for this short drama, Evans had spent a lot of effort. Almost all the casting was handled by Evans, especially the female lead—Evans had personally contacted Audrey.

Evans’s face was expressionless as he glanced at Audrey. Without waiting for Audrey to speak, he smiled. “Alright, let Miss Charlotte try.”

The director immediately beamed.

Taking advantage of the time when Charlotte and Feldnan were auditioning, Evans walked to Audrey’s side.

“You won’t blame me for acting on my own, right?” Evans asked half-jokingly.

However, Audrey looked at Charlotte’s figure not far away with approval. “Evans, you and I are practically telepathic. The decision you make happens to be what I want to make.”

Evans could not help but smile.

Audrey and Evans walked over. The two of them quietly watched the scene between Charlotte and Feldnan.

Just as the director had requested, the female lead of the short drama needed a clear-eyed and ignorant person to act.

Charlotte had never acted before. It was undeniable that she was a little clumsy when acting—but according to the setting of the drama, when the female lead first met the male lead, didn’t she look clear and clumsy?

Under such circumstances, Audrey’s overly exquisite acting skills might not be able to portray the original feeling of the female lead.

Audrey’s lips curled up slightly.

Audrey didn’t have to play the role of the female lead in this short drama.

If Charlotte was suitable for the role of Mary, it wouldn’t be a problem for Audrey to give up the female lead role.

As long as Charlotte was happy, Audrey was willing to do anything for her.

“Okay, let’s do this for now!” The director asked the two people who were rehearsing to stop. Then, he said to Evans, “Boss, I think Charlotte is really suitable for the role of the female lead. Do you think…”

The director’s meaning was obvious.

However, because the decision of this short drama was in Evans’ hands, the director still had to ask for his opinion.

Evans smiled and glanced at Audrey before saying to the director, “Since Charlotte is more suitable for the role of the female lead, let Charlotte play it.”

Charlotte was overwhelmed by this sudden surprise.

She looked at the crowd in disbelief.

“Sister, you have to act well!” Audrey said. “I have high hopes for you!”

Charlotte finally reacted and hurriedly said, “But Audrey, you…”

“Don’t worry about me.” Audrey blinked at Charlotte. “I’m more suitable to play your role. The male lead’s sister is a ruthless person to begin with. It’s more convenient for me to act as a vicious supporting actress. Hahaha…”

Everyone couldn’t help but think of the first movie that Audrey had filmed. She had played a vicious supporting role in it.

“Alright, that’s it then.” The director was obviously very happy. “Everyone, get into position. Let’s continue filming!”

Soon, the director asked everyone to film the scene of the male and female leads meeting for the first time.

Feldnan, who had already put on makeup, pretended to be weak as he lay by the roadside. At this moment, Charlotte, who was wearing a plain dress, walked over from the side path.

According to the setting of the drama, Charlotte was now carrying a flower basket and heading to the market.

The cute and innocent Mary hummed a ballad as she continued to walk forward with light footsteps. Soon, the few men in black surrounding the male lead hid in the forest warily.

Seeing that it was a young girl, a few men in black were about to draw their swords to kill her. Unexpectedly, a group of people walked over from not far away.

They were all villagers from the nearby village who went to the town to market.

The men in black looked at each other and finally decided to leave the scene.

Soon, Mary was tripped by a hand that came from the side of the road.

“Ouch!” Charlotte fell to the ground and let out a cry of surprise. When she saw the man with blood all over his face in the grass, she screamed in fright.

Not far away, the villagers ran over.

“Aiya… Whose child is this? Why is he lying here?” An actress playing the role of a village woman said.

An uncle beside her said, “I don’t know whose family he belongs to… Why don’t we send him to the hospital first? He looks like he’s seriously injured.”
