Behind The Spotlight Chapter 41
Both Collin and Lawrence wore disappointed expressions when the production crew ended the audition and announced that the cast had already been finalized. It meant Lawrence didn't pass the audition despite all his efforts.
Collin encouraged the actor with a firm voice and a supportive pat on the back. He knew this was just a minor setback. Lawrence's career wasn't over, not by a long shot.
"You don't have to worry. You're going to make it big, just trust me. As long as you believe in yourself, it will happen. Besides, many actors only became famous in their 40s after decades of perseverance. You're still in your early 20s with a long road ahead. Don't lose hope."
Collin spoke with genuine belief in every word, and Lawrence was convinced. Honestly, he wasn't too affected by this rejection. It wasn't his first, and it likely wouldn't be his last. Before landing a role in Wyatt's movie, Lawrence had auditioned for many projects and was rejected most of the time, often without even reaching the second round. Back then, passing the second round was already a small miracle.
"Wyatt is a director now. He has experience filming a movie. As long as he has a project, I'll make sure you're part of the cast in one way or another."
"Thanks, Collin." Lawrence offered a weak smile filled with gratitude and renewed motivation. His blonde hair bounced slightly as he looked ahead, toward a future he still believed in. A single rejection from one studio wasn't going to end his journey.
This was the advantage of having a director as a client. Collin could talk to Wyatt about giving Lawrence a role whenever the opportunity arose.
He was also friends with many agents in the company, and in this business, networking was everything. Some of those agents had director clients, and Collin could call in favors when needed.
