1578 Words
“Deanna, are you still alive, or are you already dead due to a car crash? Do you want to quit or what? The audition for the Ode to the Wonderland is about to start, and you’re not even here yet!” The one who called Deanna was Skylar. She was Deanna’s agent who had been receiving money from Ronnie for a long time. Skylar had been mean to Deanna to show her loyalty to Ronnie since she became Deana’s agent. For six whole years, Skylar never recommended Deanna any good role. Instead, Skylar had been busy introducing Deanna to some men who wanted to sleep with Deanna. In Deanna’s previous life, when she was trying to hide from the bullying, Skylar found her and sent her to Ronnie. Since then, Skylar had lived a rich life. In showbiz, it was normal for actresses to drink or even sleep with influential people. After all, the agents were too weak to break these hidden rules. Sometimes the situation would force them to do what they didn’t want to do. Normally, agents would try their best to get the maximum benefit for their celebrities. But Skylar was an exception. She never really cared about Deanna and always tried her best to please Ronnie. That was quite ridiculous. Deanna smiled wickedly, but she still said gently, “Come on Skylar, how would I forget about that? I’m on my way and I’ll be there very soon.” The TV series of Ode to the Wonderland would be shot according to the famous novel of the same name. This novel had millions of fans. When the news that the movie about this novel was going to be shot, the fans of the original novel and the fans who were looking forward to the movie had had angry arguements on the Internet, which attracted a lot of attention. More importantly, the writer of this book was really good, for even the bad guys in the novel were also quite likable. As long as one could play one role in this TV series well, it would make him or her famous. Deanna wanted to play a role in this TV series because it was quite popular among fans. Besides, the audition for this TV series was very fair, because the whole process would be recorded, which meant that acting skills alone would decide the results. Ronnie had bullied Deanna for a long time. She had few chances to fight back, and this audition was one of them. So she must pass this audition. As soon as she got off the taxi, Skylar started to talk to Deanna sarcastically. “Deanna Shaw, you’re not thinking of yourself as a member of the Shaw family just because you get the same last name, right? Be sober-minded, okay? You’re just a nameless actress! You should follow the schedule I have arranged for you! Look, if you want to quit showbiz, just tell me at any time. I thought you would have a bright future in showbiz. But after knowing how incapable you are, I’ve regretted countless times being your agent.” Skylar intentionally mentioned the Shaw family to humiliate Deanna. Her loud scolding amused the people around them. Yep, this was like a kind of a daily routine for Deanna who was reminded that she was nothing compared to Ronnie Shaw. Everyone knew that Deanna and Ronnie hated each other. Deanna was extremely beautiful, while Ronnie was from a rich family. They had the same last name, they were born on the same day, and they even chose the same major at the same university! All these coincidences intensified their hatred for each other, as they started to hate each other since they met for the first time. However, the entertainment circle never lacked pretty faces. Beauty was quite cheap in this circle. Ronnie, who was from a rich family, was quite popular in this circle, while Deanna was just a clown in most people’s eyes. Deanna simply ignored sarcasm in Ronnie’s words. She smiled and replied calmly, “Thank you for your kind reminder, Skylar. I won’t let you down.” Well, from now on, I’m going to start to impress Skylar with my capability. “You won’t let me down? The entertainment circle is not a place for your big talk,” Skylar said sarcastically. Skylar knew well about how incapable Deanna was. Deanna had not played any role with lines in the past two years. If Deanna passed this audition, she might still get a role with no lines. “I’m tired of your bragging. A lot of people want to play Rachel Hoff, a popular maid in the novel. Your face is just not beautiful enough to get that role.” Deanna directly ignored Skylar, because she thought that it was just a waste of time to talk to an i***t. Playing the role of a maid was way too simple for her because even the top actresses could never beat her in terms of acting. She had experienced all kinds of lives in her previous life, from a beggar to a noblewoman. She impersonated Ronnie to help her to get the Academy Award because of the threat from Ronnie. She was also forced to impersonate all kinds of women, such as innocent, sexy, glamorous, or cruel women. Her acting skills had been unrivaled. As long as she got a chance, she could be more successful even than she was in her previous life. Skylar glanced at Deanna with disdain and shouted coldly, “Just take out your script and think about how you can play the role of Rachel Hoff well. You’ve been an actress for two years, but you never even played one role with lines.” “Hey, Skylar, about that, I think I need some help. I forgot to take my script here. Could you give me another copy?” Deanna lowered her head and pretended to talk timidly. “What? Did you forget to take your script here? Deanna Shaw, are you an i***t?” Skylar intentionally shouted. “I don’t have any copy of the script.” Wow, how could she ever compete with Ronnie Shaw while she is so stupid! Skylar’s shouting attracted many people’s attention. Some of them were glancing at Deanna with disdain. “This is so funny! She came for this audition without the script!” “Yeah, she should not be an actress. She should be the lady of some rich family!” “Ha, she is a lady from a rich family... In her dreams.” Deanna ignored all the comments. She sipped some water and started to relax with her eyes closed. She had long gotten used to sarcasm and scorn. The medicine from Mr. Godfrey was really good. She didn’t feel a little bit of pain in her body after being drugged. Instead, she felt great. As for the script, she could only recall what she could remember. With her excellent acting skills, she should pass this audition easily. When the other people who came for this audition saw that Deanna simply ignored them, they stopped talking and continued to focus on the script. “Hey, so you forget to take your script here?” After hearing this, Deanna opened her eyes and saw a girl who was handing her a script. “Just get ready for this audition.” That girl left quickly after saying this. Deanna felt the tough cover of the script. A smile appeared on her face while she was looking at the departing figure of that girl. She didn’t expect that someone from her company would help her. That girl seemed to be Penny Murray. “Ronnie Shaw is here! She must have brought us the mineral water from French again! Let’s go and get them!” Someone suddenly yelled. After hearing this, Skylar became excited. She couldn’t help glancing at Ronnie, the one who offered her money. Deanna seemed to hear nothing. She was now totally a different person. In the past, she would either feel mad or dare not to look up due to self-abasement. But now, she was quite calm. She just casually held the script with one hand and her purse with the other. Though she looked calm, she clenched her fists hard, and she was screaming crazily in her heart. Her mother, her family, her boyfriend, and even her life were deprived by this woman. All the blood of Deanna was boiling, the pain had filled all the cells in her body and her soul was screaming as Ronnie was walking toward her. Ronnie walked slowly, followed by a group of people. She wore the latest Chanel and she looked quite charming. But when Ronnie saw Deanna, she was shocked. Why the hell is she here for this audition? Shouldn’t she be on the bed with Charles? If Wilson didn’t sleep with her, does that mean I’m not going to get the leading role? Why didn’t Eva tell me about this? “Wow, Ronnie, you’re finally here! We’ve waited for you here for a long time! I think you would get the leading role, right? That is why you look so relaxed!” Deanna said at this very moment. She glared at Ronnie and attacked first. The other people looked at them and expected an excellent fight. Congratulations, Ronnie. Your sworn enemy is here already. Let’s start the fight!
