Chapter 540 Zoren Film Festival And Oscars?
"Well, the good news is that we’ve received an audition request from the director you asked me to keep an eye on."
"He’s finally starting the casting for the Zombie Apocalypse movie he’s been planning, and it’s for submission to the annual Zoren Film Festival!" Betty shared the exciting news with enthusiasm, her voice brimming with energy as she spoke to Hera.
She paused for a moment, a soft smile curling on her lips before she continued. "It seems the director himself noticed your presence. He said your image—calm, collected, with just the right hint of a heroic vibe—struck him, and he felt you’d be perfect for the heroine in his film."
"At first, he didn’t know you were an actress, but luckily, with the online buzz still swirling around you, your name kept coming up. One of his close friends mentioned that you’re an artist, and that’s when he came to find me."
"Seeing how unwavering you are and how you don’t easily get scared, he wanted me to enroll you in a martial arts class first, just to see if you could learn a move or two and meet the physical demands he had for his heroine."
"He must not have seen the footage from when you fought back against the mafia syndicate the other day. So instead of answering him right away, I sent him that specific footage. Only then did he eagerly send the invitation."
"But the bad news is, you’ll have to attend the interview this afternoon, and I don’t think you’ll have much time to prepare. That might affect your audition." Betty’s tone shifted, becoming more serious.
"But the bad news," Betty continued, her tone turning grim, "is that you have to attend the interview this afternoon. That doesn’t give you much time to prepare, and it might affect your audition."
"The reason the director wants you to attend is that he’s already sent invitations to some of the most popular action actresses in the industry, as well as a few well-selected newcomers."
"Since you don’t have any acting experience—no dramas, no films—you weren’t even considered initially. This invitation was only extended at the very last minute after he saw your footage."
"Unlike the others, who received their scripts three days ago and have had time to review and rehearse, you’re going in completely blind. It’s a tough position, and I hate that it feels unfair."
