I am the Entertainment Tycoon-Chapter 184 Annie And A Genius

9 AM.

The Tulip Coffee Shop had several people coming with excited faces.

But the most curious thing was that it seemed that they were not interested in buying anything from the shop.

They all crowded around a person who seemed to be taking their names.

But even though they were doing that, the employees of the shop seemed to not move to take control of the crowd.

That was expected.?

After all, Ayia called the owner of the shop and asked for permission to do the auditions in the shop.

The owner readily agreed when he heard that, this was an opportunity to increase the earnings.

Because even though the candidates were not interested in buying anything at the moment, they still could order something later.

"Guys, please give your resum??s and we will you call in a bit." Arabella declared out loud to the ten actors in front of her.

As the associate producer, it was her job to take care of things like these.

The actors calmed a little when they heard.

But there was one girl who was calm from the beginning, Helena had a calm face but her eyes were burning with determination.

She almost missed the time of the audition because she couldn't sleep last night, she wanted to be one of the first to audition.

And she came even more determined when she saw Kanna on the production crew.

If someone like Kanna could be in the production crew, she also could be hired for the role.

Helena handed her resum?? to Arabella and waited patiently for her turn.

When Arabella took all their resum??s, she went back to the crew and started checking their veracity.

10 minutes later, Arthur stood up from his seat to talk with candidates after he received the ok from Arabella.

"Hey, guys." Arthur greeted the 4 girls and 6 boys who were waiting.

"I'm Arthur, and I am the director of the project. We will interview each one of you alone. So, it may take a while." He explained with a calm face.

The candidates nodded in understanding, they were used to waiting when they auditioned for a role.

"We will start with the ladies." He said with a light tone.?

"These are your lines, you girls have 15 minutes to memorize them." Arthur added as he gave each of the girls the script of the audition.

"But you guys can still see your script too." He said as he also gave the guys their script.

"If any of you feel ready to start just tell us." Arthur declared with a calm smile as he went back to their table and waited for them to memorize their lines.

While he gave the scripts, he saw new candidates arriving.

So, Arabella had to give them the instructions and scripts for them to prepare.

The candidates had serious faces as they read the script over and over.

The process of memorizing may sound simple, but the actors had to also memorize other things. f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

For example, the audition script for the female role had an instruction that the actress had to appear nervous and with a shy smile.

The actresses had to demonstrate these emotions as they recited their lines.

Therefore, the process of acting was much more than just memorizing lines.

A good actor/actress makes the audience firmly believe in their emotions.

That's why it is so noticeable when a talented actor performs, even for the people who don't know acting.

Actors on the big screen, small screen, and theatre stage have the power to influence audiences all over the world.

Acting involves a broad range of skills, including a well-developed imagination, emotional facility, physical expressivity, vocal projection, clarity of speech, and the ability to interpret drama.?

Acting also demands an ability to employ dialects, accents, improvisation, observation and emulation, mime, and stage combat.

A talented actor knows all these skills as if it is an instinct.

15 minutes after Arthur gave the candidates the scripts, a blonde stood up.

"Billie Lane, right?" Arabella asked as she saw the girl coming to them.

"Yes, that's me." The blonde girl replied with a confident voice.

All actors and actresses had confident hearts, they all thought that they were the best actors.

And that was not different with Billie, she was certain that she could get the role.

Arthur and the rest observed her resume before so they knew her past jobs.

"Then you can start when you're ready." Kanna said with a calm voice.

Billie nodded and took a position before closing her eyes.

She needed to get into character.

Five seconds later, she was not Billie anymore, she was Annie, the character in the script.

Annie was a young and shy girl, but she was also brave and someone who would not regret her decisions.

There were two scenes in that Billie had to act.

In the first one, she was meeting her lover for the first time.?

And in the second, it was Annie crying as she broke up with her lover.

Annie was crying because she really loved him before, but she would not go back to him even then.

Billie played Annie in the two scenes.

,m And she was a good actress.

She portrayed Annie with great skill, Arthur and the others were happy that there were good actors in Elffire City.

And when Billie finished the scenes, Arthur thought that he already found the female actress for the video.

The others also had the same impression.

But they were cautious, after all., there were still other girls to audition.

Even though they thought it was unlikely for a better actress to show up.

"Thank you, Billie." Arthur said with a smile when he saw her finish the scene.

"Yes, thank you, we will give you a call tomorrow if you get chosen for the part." Kanna declared as she noted down Brianna's name.

"Thank you. I will be waiting then." Billie replied with a confident smile as she walked away.

She was brimming with confidence that she would get the role.

Most of the other girls had nervous when they saw Billie performing.

They knew Billie Lane, she was one of the talented newcomers in the theatre scene of Elffire City.

She had just finished her last project and she was looking for a new play to perform when she saw the notice for this audition.

She decided that it would be interesting to act in front of cameras, so she came for the audition.

But there was one girl who didn't even notice Billie's performance.

She looked at the script with focused eyes.

Eyes full of determination.

Helena closed her eyes and tried to find Annie in her mind.

While she was doing that, the other candidates gave it a try.

And as expected, as girl after girl performed, Billie was still the best.

But what worried the crew was they still did not find a good actor to play the male role even after most of the boys performed.

A boy had just finished his audition when Helena opened her eyes.

Eyes that were clear as a crystalline lake.

She stood up and walked toward the crew.

She walked at a calm and lively pace as if she was not walking for her last chance to realize her dream.

That was because she was not Helena anymore, she became Annie as soon as she opened her eyes.

"Helena Lobo, right?" Arabella asked as she looked at the beautiful girl.

Helena just nodded, but she still did not break character.

"You can start anytime." Arthur said with curious eyes.

The whole crew noticed something different about Helena, but they could not figure it out what.

They noticed that she spent a long time with closed eyes, and they were curious about what she would bring. f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎

As soon as Arthur said that, Helena started the first scene immediately.

She did not need to prepare.

Helena exuded magnetic energy that made all their eyes look at her.

The energy of someone who is a genius.

And as soon as she started, they all could feel as though she was indeed Annie.

Helena was shy and lively as she said the lines to her lover.

Helena was crying rivers, tears rolling down her cheeks, with eyes full of a love, that ended, but also the determination to break up.

Her words were powerful.

And when she finished the last scene, the whole coffee shop was in silence.

Some of the employees of the shop, who were having fun observing the candidates, cried when they saw Helena's performance.

And it was one of them who started clapping.

Everyone also clapped when they heard the first clap.

A clap that sounded natural for the genius performance they had just witnessed.

Helena Lobo was made known for the first time that day.
