Wanting to use money to bribe their way into his film crew was barking up the wrong tree.
This was also one of the things that Joanna Lawrence admired about Gary White.
Finally seeing the rumored talented director in person, Joanna tried to suppress her nervous emotions, slowly lifting her head and meeting his gaze.
When she saw Gary White, a touch of surprise flashed in her eyes.
He looked much younger and more handsome than on television.
Even though he had a scruffy beard and looked unkempt, one could still see that his features were profound and attractive.
Especially those long, slender phoenix eyes, which were slightly narrowed, giving off an enticing charm.
It was said that he was only thirty years old this year.
He was a renowned director, good-looking, and allegedly from a distinguished family background. There were countless female stars in the industry who wanted to get close to him, but he seemed to have some sort of emotional cleanliness, so he remained single and was listed as one of the top three wealthy bachelors in Closia that every woman wanted to marry.
As her gaze met those captivating phoenix eyes, Joanna hesitated for a moment, then lowered her eyes, responding with both politeness and some reverence, "Yes."
Although Gary White was young, he had a great reputation in the industry.
Joanna couldn’t take him lightly.
Joanna could feel that Gary White had been sizing her up.
His gaze lingered on her for quite some time.
After a while, he finally asked, "Are you here to audition for Female Lead 3?"
Gary White lightly hooked the corner of his lips, "Oh? Have you done any research on this role before?"
Joanna had prepared thoroughly and answered smoothly. She nodded with a smile, "I’m a huge fan of the original novel. I’ve read it no less than five times, Director White. To sound a little conceited, I believe I’m very suitable for the role of Nova Brinley."
"If I were to play Female Lead 3, I definitely won’t let you down."
As soon as her words fell, she could feel someone in the audition room frowning.
As if they were discontent with her arrogance.
Joanna ignored that person and only looked at Gary White, maintaining her confidence and composure under his inscrutable gaze.
Even though her heart was actually already a bundle of nerves.
Gary White looked at her with a hint of a smile.
In Joanna’s tense anticipation, he finally spoke, "Well, go home and wait for the signing notice."
Joanna first blinked, then widened her eyes in disbelief.
She hadn’t even started acting yet.
The other audition staff members were also stunned, as if shocked by Gary White’s approach.
Okay, they admitted that the young girl auditioning was indeed very pretty and spirited, with a face that was perfect for an actress.
But just being pretty wasn’t enough.
They still needed to see if she had any acting skills.
Compared to acting skills, being pretty was secondary.
If someone only had a pretty face but no real strength, wouldn’t she just be a vase?
There could be no vases in Gary White’s TV series.
Moreover, Female Lead 3 played a very important role with substantial screen time.
How could they so casually settle on her?
Someone disagreed and called out, "Director White, but..."
However, Gary White waved his hand at that person, signaling for them not to say more.
"You all take note, Female Lead 3 will be played by her. No need to let others audition for this role later."
