Joanna Lawrence pursed her lips, falling silent for a moment.
"Baby, you need to fight back!" Aria Rowlett gritted her teeth, "Since she’s determined to make your life miserable, you have to take real action to prove you’re not only living well, but also 100 times better than her."
"What does stealing David Benington mean? The heartthrob is 1,000 times better than David. If she wants to suppress your career, you have to show her your talent. Besides, with the heartthrob as your backstage supporter, what do you have to be afraid of? Isn’t she so unscrupulous because David has her back?"
"Even if you’re not proving yourself to her, for your own sake, you should try your best, right?"
Joanna remained silent.
"Baby?" Her continuous silence made Aria extremely anxious, "Come on, say something. What are you thinking of?"
Joanna was silent for another moment before she finally spoke up, "Aria, do you have any audition slots available?"
"Have you come to your senses?!"
Aria was stunned for a moment, then her excitement returned, "I do! I have slots for both movie and TV series auditions - which one do you want?"
Joanna thought for a moment, "TV series."
She’s not even a D-list celebrity right now, so doing well in the TV series field would be no small feat.
As for the big screen, she didn’t dare to think about it for now.
Even many A-list actresses who gained fame through TV dramas still didn’t get film roles.
"Okay!" Aria immediately said, "There’s an available audition for the Female Lead 3 role. Do you want to give it a shot?"
"Absolutely." Joanna didn’t even think twice before answering, "It’s still way better than doing minor roles."
"Great, I’ll send you the details later. The director is a close older male friend who I know personally. He and the rest of the film crew are straightforward and don’t engage in shady stuff, so you can be at ease when auditioning."
"I’ll give him a heads up to pay extra attention to you."
"Thank you, Aria." Joanna said sincerely.
Aria entered the industry earlier than Joanna and naturally knew more people.
Moreover, Aria had a friendly personality and had no shortage of friends, both male and female. Many directors and producers in the circle liked her.
The close older male friend she mentioned was someone she truly considered a brother.
And he, too, treated her like a little sister.
Although Aria and Joanna were in the same Performance Major, Aria wasn’t planning to pursue acting as a career.
So whenever she had any audition opportunities, she handed them over to Joanna.
Strangely enough, despite Joanna’s talent, she always failed at auditions. Either they thought she performed well but tried to take advantage of her and got rejected or they said she wasn’t suitable for the role.
In a few instances, Aria accompanied Joanna to the auditions and objectively thought Joanna’s performances were really good.
"Baby, don’t be so formal with me. I wish you success in the audition! Honestly, even though it’s the Female Lead 3 role, the character is rich and full of charm. If played well, there’s still a chance to gain some fame."
"I got it. I’ll try my best to succeed in the audition."
"Oh, let me subtly reveal something to you." Aria suddenly said mysteriously, "The Male Lead 1 is Maddox Allenson."
