Nell quickly typed another reply. [Take a look at the second supporting female, I think the role suits you well. She doesn’t have as many parts as the first supporting female and the female lead, but she has a bright character, and her role is an eye-catching one. If you act well, the effect won’t be bad as compared to the first two roles.]
It was then that Lucy took a more detailed look at the parts for the second supporting female.
She replied to Nell’s message after about ten minutes.
[Elder Sister Nelly, I looked at it, and I like this character, but can I secure a spot given that it’s such a big production?]
Nell curled her lips into a smile.
[You only have to study the script intensively. Leave the rest to me.]
[Okay, thanks, Elder Sister Nelly.]
Once Nell was done communicating with Lucy, she put down her phone and pondered on the couch.
After a brief moment, she retrieved her laptop and entered Gareth Leith’s name.
She was not very familiar with him, and her understanding of him was only limited to his work as a director.
Although it did not seem reliable to gather information about a person from the internet, Nell was left with no choice.
Fortunately, Gareth was so famous that plenty of information about him could be found. As Nell filtered the information that she needed, her understanding of the director was at 70 to 80%.
While Nell was looking through the details, her phone suddenly rang.
She casually answered the call, which was from Janet.
“Nelly, are you free tomorrow night? Can you go somewhere with me?”
Nell grinned. “Don’t you have a shooting? Where are you going?”
Janet paused for two seconds before she answered in guilt, “I asked for leave tomorrow; there’s a car-racing competition in the eastern suburbs tomorrow, and I want to take a look at it.”
Nell’s finger stopped on the touchpad.
“Car-racing?”
“Mm.”
Nell looked at the column about Gareth’s hobbies, then she smiled and responded, “Okay!”
......
The next day.
Nell got off work as soon as she finished her tasks at hand.
Janet had already arrived, and she was waiting for her in the car.
Nell went to the basement to retrieve her car, and when she drove her car out, Janet got off a black sedan car and hurried over like a thief.
Even after Janet entered Nell’s car, she kept checking their surroundings to ensure that nobody noticed her, then she waved her hand at her assistant, who was outside the car.
“Sis, if you’re so afraid, why are you going to watch the car race? Wouldn’t it be better if you carry on with the shooting with the cast and crew?” Nell could not help but laugh.
Janet took a small mirror out of her bag, and she commented unhappily while she checked her make-up, “Who said I’m afraid? Am I not avoiding the paparazzi so they won’t say that I’m not being dedicated enough? Your younger sister — a typical white lotus — is on the hot-search list almost every day either because she enters cold water for a shooting regardless of her body condition or because she passed out due to exhaustion from work. Ugh —!”
She made a disgusted face and added, “The standard for a dedicated actress has already been set like that, and given that I’m her opponent, how can I not protect my image?”
Nell could not help but laugh.
Nonetheless, Celine had always been like that. No matter how she was on the inside, she always showed the gentle, beautiful, and dedicated side of her to the public.
Nell was already used to it.
Following that, she drove straight to the suburbs.
When they were almost at the car race venue, Janet suddenly tugged her sleeve.
“Nelly, take a quick look at me. Is my make-up okay? Is my outfit today pretty?”
Nell stared at her dumbfoundedly.
“Did you… Take the wrong medicine?”
Janet. “...”
A few seconds later, Nell finally understood what was wrong with Janet.
From the moment Janet called her today, Nell could tell that she was very eager and anxious.
