Chapter 1858
When Amy was leaving, she reminded Daisie, “Also, don‘t try to take any shortcuts. Mr. Crawford hates it the most when actors or actresses get into his project through the back door. You‘ll have to fight for the role if you really want it.”
Daisie had been learning from Amy for the next couple of days, and Amy was willing to pass on some acting experience to her as well.
For Daisie, Amy was her senior. Besides, she was five years older than her, and she treated her like her own sister.
Charlie was standing in front of the mirror in his office. There was a cigarette between his fingers, and when someone knocked on the door, he flicked the ashes into the ashtray and said without turning his head. “Come in.”
Amy pushed the door and walked into his office. She stopped behind him and said respectfully, “You‘re looking for me, Chuck?”
“I heard that you‘ve been helping Daisie lately, and you also passed on some of your acting experience to her as well?”
Charlie turned around and looked at her.
She smiled and replied, “Yeah. She‘s my junior, after all. Besides, she’s pretty dead serious when it comes to becoming an actress.”
Charlie took a draw from his cigarette before crushing the butt out in the ashtray. “Both of you are going to audition for the same role. Are you not worried that she will get it first?”
Amy lowered her head and replied, “If she could get the role, it means she‘s good enough for it. Just because I‘m guiding her doesn‘t mean that I‘m giving up on that role.”
Charlie chuckled and said, “Well, it‘s good that you understand. She does have more potential than James and other newcomers. However, both of you are actresses under the same company. It‘s necessary to help each other, but it‘s important for you to fight for what you want without pulling any punches.”
Amy raised her head and looked at him. “But I don’t understand why are you telling me this?”
He sat on the couch and continued. “She has been acting since she was a child, so she thinks that she can make it if she has confidence in herself. However, one won‘t be able to train their willpower if they can get everything they want. They need some setbacks. “This is the first time she entered the working society after graduating. Although she has ambition and perseverance , if she doesn‘t want to rely on her family,
she must shed her innocence in a place like the entertainment industry, which is filled with vicious and greedy people.”
