Accidental love

Chapter 5 Superb acting

The small theater was full of people. As the director entered, all actors and actresses were getting ready and started to try out the roles one by one on the stage.

Anna wore a mask and quietly sat on the left side of the stage with Tom. She didn’t say a word and people could only see her eyes with false eyelashes. But if you knew her better, you would be aware that she had immersed herself in the play.

Tom whispered in Anna's ear, "Pretend to read the script and say some lines on the stage. Then pretend to faint. Later, I send you back to the room. When we finish this, your task is completed."

"That’s it? Alice will get the role so easily?" Anna pretended to be surprised.

Other actors had to work so hard to get the role while Alice could steal it by shameless means.

"That’s it. You just need to play 'faint' well. Don’t try to play tricks." Tom got up and answered his phone. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

‘Play tricks?’ Well, on the contrary, Tom's warning had inspired Anna. She read the script and smiled. She just came up with a great idea. As she raised her head, her eyes were full of tears because she sympathized with Jane’s miserable life.

The staff came to her, "Alice, you are next."

Anna nodded and stood up. She even pretended to cough before Tom to show that she was playing Alice well and hid her plan in secret.

Tom heard her cough and took this opportunity to explain, "Alice got sick because she’s working so hard on her play. She’s even having a high fever. I tried to persuade her out of this audition. But she attached great importance to the role and insisted on attending."

After saying this, he looked at Anna in worry and shook his head slightly.

Hearing Tom’s words, Anna noticed that surrounding people started to look at her with respect.

They admired her hard work even if they were her competitors.

Anna sneered in secret. Tom and black were taking every chance to build a perfect public image for Alice. Let's wait and see, she wouldn’t let them succeed and must destroy Alice’s fake image today.

Anna stepped on the stage, still wearing her mask and hat. Director Bush wasn’t happy with her look. But since Tom said that she was sick, he didn’t stop her and just sighed.

Anna took off her hat and gently let down her long hair tucked behind her ears. But she still wore that mask.

She turned around slowly and got familiar with the stage quickly. And the next moment, she became Jane. Tom was focused on Anna in order to catch her as soon as she fainted as planned.

But when Anna turned around, she didn’t faint as scheduled. Instead, she kneeled on the stage and cried. She was sobbing at first. Then she started to cry and her shoulders were also slightly trembling.

"How can you leave me alone?" she asked and begged in sorrow. This simple sentence seemed to cost her last strength.

Later, she raised her head and tears were full of her eyes.

What she performed was superb acting!

Everyone present was moved by her strong emotion, including the directors and staff.

This scene was very important to shape Jane’s character and show her miserable life. Anna’s acting was just perfect. Compared with other actresses who just tried out this role, her acting was more touching and real. The audience could actually empathize with her and feel her pain.

According to the script, Jane had been overwhelmed with sorrow and cried all day long since she was abandoned. But Anna’s performance did more than simply showing her inner pain. She also tried to be strong and tough, which led to the nirvana of phoenix.

Sitting on the floor, she wrapped her knees with her hands and uttered another line. Everyone couldn't help applauding for her performance.

This was superb acting instead of an audition. She played Jane so well that for a moment the audience believed that Anna was Jane.

Director Bush took a deep breath and stood up in respect. His eyes were full of surprise, "I want her! She's Jane I'm looking for!"

The assistant director immediately announced, “Alice will play Jane, the third female role."

Anna slowly stood up on the stage. She noticed the excitement in Tom's eyes. ‘Don’t get excited too early. This show isn’t over.’ Anna smiled under the mask.

In the last row of the small theater, a man as noble as a king focused his eyes on Anna. He was impressed by her acting.

He was rarely moved by in his life. But he had to admit he was truly touched by her excellent acting. She deserved the honor of the best actress. What’s more, unlike others, he didn’t miss the mixed feelings she tried to hide.
