36 A Little Payback (2/2)

”Screw that. I'm more curious about the producer. If I can get his attention, I can be like Halle Berry. You know they didn't bother to audition her for the role in Speed?”

”Yes, I know about that. I went for the audition for Speed last week. They said that the main casts are chosen already. I could only get a supporting role.”

”Huh? Why are you here if you already got casted? Are you trying to do multiple movies? Please don't steal our meal, damn it.”

”Those people at the back. This is the last warning. If you don't pip down, we will have to remove you from the premise.”

That shuts everyone up. They remains quiet for the rest of the audition.

As for English actress, Naomi Watts, her acting is only subpar. Her self esteem seems to plummet after witnessing both Sandra Bullock and Sharon Stone.

It is a gamble to go first or go last in audition.

Creating the first impression is usually better, such is the case with Sandra Bullock.

Even so, it is still a risk.

Sandra must be damn sure that her skills is impressive to take such a risk.

Several more actresses proceed to have their audition. None of them can outshine the current reigning queens, not even the original actress who played the main character – Meg Ryan.

It is unfortunate, but no one can say that I didn't give her a chance.

Once it is noon, everyone takes a break.

Foods and drinks are provided completely in house by my company, working in conjunction with my one and only favourite restaurant. I think they open several more branches around Hollywood.

If Jimmy ever wants to quit the mafia and go into hospitality industry, I will definitely support him. He knows what people wants when they are having their meal.

The foods are made specifically to request if needed be. It is also free of charge no matter what kind of dishes are ordered. Of course, exotic requests are not allowed except from certain people.

This is the norm with any of my productions, as a happy employee is a hard working employee.

”Say ah, Anti. Here comes the airplane.”

I feed my daughter with the soup available on the menu. It is made to standard of Heinz baby food, so my daughter can enjoy her lunch.

I have a tuna sandwich afterwards. It is quiet juicy – delicious.

A lot of people actually come for the food after attending the audition for Speed previously. They didn't expect to have such a wonderful meal for free.

Bunch of lechers.

Many people congratulate Sandra Bullock and Sharon Stone. It seems that the role belongs to either of them.

No one else wants to compete for the main cast anymore. They are all aiming for supporting cast instead.

The audition continues at exactly 1pm. Everything must be on time. If there is a delay, announcement must be made.

Giving each people around 5 minutes each, the audition concluded around 5pm. There is just a lot of people to go through.

Most people left once they have their audition, knowing full well they won't be casted. They did it for the experience only.

”Is there a mistake? I haven't audition yet.”

Jennifer asks when the director has left the auditorium with Sharon Stone.

Sandra Bullock is still there, talking to the managers and team leaders as well as a couple of production and filming crew.

”Miss Jennifer Joanna Aniston. Date of birth, February 11, 1969?”

The organizer asks once he looks through his scheduling book.

Jennifer nods and confirms that is her name. She has waited the whole time for her turn, but it never comes up despite not withdrawing from the audition. Everyone else already has their turn.

”I'm sorry, but you should talk to the producer about this. It appears that you have been blacklisted from all our productions. You don't need to attend tomorrow audition for the Fugitive either.”

The organizer responses flatly.

”What? There must be some kind of mistake. Can I please talk to the producer?”

Jennifer is shocked. Being blacklisted will affect her acting career immensely.

Even without knowing the actual reason, other film companies would be hesitant to audition her and cast her in any of their movie.

The organizer points Jennifer towards me, who is playing with Antigone.

I haven't left my seat since I can see all I need to see through Shield Surveillance Network.

The damn director and Sharon Stone have gone off to conclude their little business transaction.

I will have to teach them both the dire consequences of ignoring my stern warning – well, the director will since Sharon Stone is not really at fault.

”The producer has been sitting behind you the whole time with his daughter. What did you say to him to get yourself blacklisted?”

The organizer questions.

Jennifer probably didn't hear him, on the account of being utterly shocked.
