‘Sacrifice for art?’
Nina was taken aback by his question. She was here for an audition, but what did it have to do with sacrificing for art?
“To tell the truth, our project is an essential one. We’ll spend at least 200 million dollars on it. It’ll become a blockbuster,” said Kyle.
He broke off and asked, “You should know the movie ‘What Love Can Do’.”
“I know ‘What Love Can Do’. This is a movie based on a famous online novel. Its marketing alone had cost several million dollars.”
Nina was more excited.
She knew the movie. It was supposed to a real blockbuster. Although the filming hadn’t started, it had become the most influential one in the entertainment business.
It was because the legendary director of this movie, Alastair Angelo.
Once he directed his first movie, he became famous. Later, he filmed another six movies, which all became blockbusters with several hundred million dollars of profits.
“Exactly. I’m glad you’ve heard of it. If you check online, you’ll see I’m the deputy director of this movie. I’m here to choose a supporting role for this movie.”
Kyle continued after a pause, “For this role, I’ve traveled to 12 cities. Unfortunately, I still haven’t found the ideal candidate. It’s too difficult.”
“Too difficult? Why is it?” Nina asked.
“None of the actresses wants to sacrifice for art.”
Kyle sighed, “The supporting role is a stripper in the movie. According to the plot, she needed to get naked in some scenes. None of the actresses was willing to do it. I didn’t try to convince them, though. After all, it was their own choice. However, once selected, the actress will have a promising future in the entertainment business.”
He looked faithful when explaining as if he did everything for the movie’s sake.
However, he emphasized “a promising future” as all his other words were the foundation for it.
Once a girl wished to become famous, she would think this was an excellent chance and want to grasp it.
People always dreamed of being lucky, and this chance was once in a blue moon.
The girl who rushed downstairs earlier was one of them. Earlier, she solemnly refused. However, after hearing the movie’s name and “a promising future”, she accepted the condition.
In the end, Kyle let her go home and wait for the future notification.
That was why she shed tears.
“What exactly shall I do during the audition?” Nina asked curiously.
“First, we must know if you can bear the mental pressure. Take off your clothes. Let’s see if you can feel natural in our presence.”
Kyle flicked his hand. “Please don’t worry. We won’t take advantage of you. We’re professional.”
Although he said so, his eyes were full of lust. Like the doctor just now, he also thought Nina was the most beautiful girl he had seen. Her charm had aroused him.
“What? Take off my clothes?”
Nina gaped.
“Exactly. Strip yourself. You are an actress, so you should know how to deal with your mental pressure. Take it easy. No actress that has failed to do that can play that role well. It’s your test. If you pass, you’ll have a promising future,” Kyle added as if he was really a professional director.
In fact, there were two cameras in this room. Once Nina started it, the cameras would film the scene. Her charming face could make a considerable profit.
Besides, Kyle believed Nina would agree as she should dream of making a fame.
“Sorry, but I refuse.”
However, Nina stood up, shaking her head. “My family education forbids me to do such a thing. Sorry for that.”
“Robin, let’s go,” she reminded Robin.
“Sure.”
Only then did Robin breathe a sigh of relief. He was worried Nina would do it to make a fame. Fortunately, she refused.
The other three men didn’t expect her to refuse, gaping at them.
They had spent so much effort but were still rejected.
Their tricks worked for more than a dozen girls previously.
Therefore, they were reluctant to let go of such a beautiful girl.
Suddenly, a man’s voice sounded at the door, “You know what, Kyle? I met a bastard. Somehow, I missed the target. They even called the police. If I hadn’t had a friend at the police station, I wouldn’t have left there. You just don’t know how good-looking that chick was…”
After entering, the man saw Robin and became furious, “Son of bitch! It’s you!”
He was Simon, the pervert on the bus earlier.
“What a coincidence.”
Robin gazed at him.
“Are you here for an audition? Passed? I can’t wait to watch your videos. Let me see how this innocent-looking girl plays the coquette.”
Simon looked at them up and down evilly.
Kyle coughed. “No, she refused.”
“Refused? Don’t you want a promising future? It’s alright. I don’t mind filming something myself.”
A murderous look flashed through Simon’s eyes.
As soon as he finished his words, more than ten men swaggered into the room. They were all bruisers, blocking the way.
“They all work for me. Are you scared?” Simon snorted.
Then he ordered those men, “After I’ve had enough from her, I’ll let you guys have some fun. Let’s share happiness together. However, we need to get rid of this bastard first.”
He pointed at Robin.
“Him? I’m afraid I can knock him out with just a punch.”
“A punch? I can deal with him with a finger. If we just approach him, he’ll be scared to death. Probably he can’t barely walk.”
“That girl is awesome indeed.”
All the bruisers gazed at Nina in arousal. As Simon told them, they could have their ways with her afterward.
Their gazes sickened Nina. Dodging behind Robin, she asked, “Robin, can you handle them? They look pretty tough.”
Her attitude was excellent now. That was what Nina always did.
However, Robin didn’t mind as she was still young. He replied, “All junk. Fighting with them will dirt my hands.”
