Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 27

Starry's seat was right beside Wyatt's. As the owner of Shining Stars Entertainment and the investor of this TV series, he was sitting on the central position.

On the left of him was the chief director of the TV series and on the right of him was Starry, the lead screenwriter.

Even the two actresses who had laughed at Starry started to get nervous as they saw Starry on the chief screenwriter's seat.

The actresses and actors of the four protagonists of the show had already been determined. Today's casting was for some important female and male supporting roles.

Chief director Jackson Adams was known to be a strict director who was famous for his period dramas. But these days he turned to focus on romantic series.

It soon turned out that he was also adept at directing romantic series. With good actors and actresses, the two former romantic TV series directed by Jackson Adams had become massive hits.

The requirement of Jackson's casting audition was always that the actor or actress did a scene with no makeup.

And today made no exception. All the actors and actress on the stage were not made up and in uniformed jeans and sweaters. What could distinguish them from others was only their acting skill.

They were only allowed to wear a number on their chest. So, the judges didn't know their names and their agents were asked to sit on a certain position.

It was quiet in this room. Jackson turned to Wyatt and said, "Shall we begin, Mr. Matthews?"

Jackson didn't like to be controlled by sponsors. But Wyatt respected him and he had invited him to direct this TV series for several times. And Wyatt didn't intervene with his casting. He only gave advice, and that's why Jackson didn't feel unsatisfied with the presence of Wyatt here at today's casting.

Wyatt smiled, "It's up to you, Director Adams. You're in charge today."

These words did make Jackson happy. He squinted smilingly and then waved to his assistant.

Then the lights were turned off. When the room was lit up again, actress number one was already on the stage.

Each was given only eight minutes. The actress who was quite unfriendly to Starry was Number 3. She was competing for the role of the heroine's bestie.

The role was a typical domineering lady who appeared to be aloof to others; but actually, she was a kind and gentle person to the ones she cared about.

The scene Number 3 did was the bestie trying to defend the heroine. After she finished her performance, Starry frowned.

While acting, she always fixed her worried eyes on Starry. And as a result, she was so distracted that she misread the lines. Her overall performance was not so good.

Jackson was not satisfied with her and gave her a scene of another character for her to try.

Obviously, she didn't prepare that scene and it was a disaster. Starry put a low score on the marking form.

Then Number 3 was led out of the room and soon there was another actress on the stage.

The casting lasted for about two hours and when it ended, it was already 11 a.m.

Starry handed the marking form in. To ensure fairness, the names of those who passed would be disclosed ten minutes later.

But the actors or actresses might not get the characters they wanted. The director would assign the roles to them based on their performance at the casting.

The result soon came out and Starry had a look at it. The result was just as she expected. Then she put down her pen and had a sip of bottled water put before her.
