Out of respect for Marcus, and also because it was a rule in the industry, Roderick had to ask for Marcus' opinion in terms of casting. Marcus declined right there and then.
Roderick saw that Marcus was truly very dejected at that time, so he wanted to find something for him to do. Therefore, at that time, Roderick did his best to advise him," Marcus, Yvonne is very passionate about this industry. Maybe she would even come to fight for a role? What if you meet Yvonne at the casting venue? Wouldn't you be able to find her without any effort at all?"
His remark instantly woke Marcus up.
Marcus' spirits were also lifted. "Yes, that’s very good. I'll participate!"
His spirits immediately improved. The process of auditioning a huge crowd of people was very boring. They were looking at beautiful women every day so much that the directors were numbed. Marcus, however, was always very serious. In fact, he was not casting for the movie. He was looking for Yvonne.
However, after auditioning for more than a month, Marcus did not even see the shadow of Yvonne at all. There was not even a woman that looked like Yvonne at all. None of them was similar to Yvonne in terms of height, voice, and the walk she walks. In the end, Marcus already gradually lost interest in casting for the movie. He was prepared not to participate in the casting process anymore. At that moment, Mila came.
That was already at the end of the casting
process for the production team. Out of all of the characters, they only needed one more person for everybody to be in place. However, this character was very difficult to cast.
That was because not only was the character’s appearance ugly, but the character was cunning and vicious, and at the same time, she also had a pitiful side. This character was once forcefully taken advantage of by a few men in the early stages of the story. After that, one of the men was sick, so she was also infected. She was originally a victim, but the victim chose to harm others. She wanted more innocent people to be harmed to make herself feel better.
Not only that, but she even deliberately destroyed other people's marriages and families. If she saw a woman living a happy life and dressed very beautifully, she would exhaust all the ways to seduce the woman's husband, get the woman's husband infected with the dirty disease that she got, and then let the husband infect his wife. Such a character was indeed too wicked. Also, because the character's appearance was ugly, actresses who usually wanted to grow with a good image were not willing to play this character.
However, if they got an extra to play the character, she would not be able to portray the depth of the character. Also, this character has very few scenes and was considered the epitome of a supporting role. The character has such few scenes, but the actress has to portray so many things and also such a vicious side of the character. Therefore, this character was very difficult to cast. The good actress that the director wanted was not willing to damage her image. There were people who were willing to play the character, but they were all people who had no acting experience at all, people who were old and ugly, and people who only wanted to become more popular. For a moment, this character truly became a problem for the director.
Even Marcus, who was indifferent toward this matter, also poked fun at Roderick with a miserable smile. "Roderick, it turns out that when shooting a movie, just casting characters alone was enough to be worried about."
Roderick shot a glance at Marcus with annoyance. "That's right! Do you think it's so easy to do everything? Let me tell you something, I'm lucky that you invested in my movie without hesitating at all. If I were to look for others for funding, I may not even be able to find any for years. A good script would have been ruined just like that. I've finally gotten the money from you, but I can't find a suitable actor.
Marcus, do you know how much blood, sweat, and tears I've poured into the pre-production to prepare for this script and this movie? I just wanted to seriously shoot a movie that would be widely known. I have confidence in this movie! As long as I do every part right, I have the confidence that I can make this movie so well that she'll be famous around the world!"
Marcus smiled. "I believe in you."
Right at that moment, another woman who came to audition arrived. It was a woman that they had never met before. The woman entered the door and asked submissively, "Is this the place looking for the last supporting actress? I would like to try. May I?"
As soon as she asked that, the woman said Marcus. She was shocked for a moment and then she called out, "Master...Marcus, you’re...here too?"
