Chapter 1024
Joanne gulped. Feeling pressured, she gave a thumbs up weakly and said," Don't worry, I'll do my best in my act, and I won't hold you back."
"Well, let's start then," said Patrick as he nodded lightly and asked his assistant to bring his script.
Patrick's script was so clean! There were no notes or scribbling on it, like a brand-new sheet of paper.
Joanne looked at his script and looked down at her own, instantly feeling ashamed.
What a brilliant actor! Patrick could just act by just reading the script alone!
It turned out Joanne still had a long way to go to stardom...
In the scene with Patrick, Joanne was given the role of the daughter of a medicinal sorcerer. She was rescued by the male lead, played by Patrick. From there, she fell in love at first sight. However, it turned out that the male lead already had a sweetheart.
Therefore, Joanne's character eventually goes into a downward spiral and ends up doing many unconscionable acts.
Fortunately, she finally came to her senses in the end and sacrificed herself in order to be with the male lead.
Initially, the director did not want to use Joanne. However, she was perfect in the audition and played her role flawlessly, which landed her in the role of the character.
At the moment, Joanne was fully focused on her lines with Patrick...
He thought she was playing hard to get and wanted to expose her.
However, Joanne was concentrating so much on the rehearsal that she did not even pay attention to Patrick, as if his charm as the male lead had no effect on her whatsoever.
Patrick looked at Joanne intently as he held his chin with one hand.
As Joanne finished her part, there was no response after that. She raised her head and said, "Mister... Mister Patrick, it's your turn to speak the lines."
"Am I not popular anymore?" asked Patrick all of a sudden, looking very worried.
Joanne shook her head like a rattle. "There is no male celebrity in the whole country which is more popular than you!"
"Then why don't you look at me?"
"Because I have a poor memory. If I keep looking at you, I won't be able to remember my lines," explained Joanne solemnly. She sighed. "Anyway, superstars like you wouldn't understand the sufferings and sadness of ordinary people like me..."
Patrick was amused. "So, are you saying that I have a strong influence on you? Since you said that you would lose concentration when you look at me?"
Joanne was about to nod, but she suddenly remembered that this man was a relative of Edwin and quickly shook her head frantically.
She pointed to the lines in her script, which were circled with various colored pens in her hand. "I have too many lines..." she said with a sad face.
Patrick glanced at her script, and there were indeed quite a lot of lines in it.
