Genius Manager: I Can Make All Girls Talented!

Chapter 57: Chapter 57 - Clara's Audition

Darius was now accompanying Clara to one of the castings she had managed to obtain for herself. After all, Clara wasn't a complete newbie when it came to the entertainment industry, as she had already appeared in a few movies.

None of them had been great hits, but she knew some of the workarounds of the industry. She even had a few contacts with some of the directors she had worked with in the past.

The movie she was currently casting for was a small-time movie that Darius had never even heard of in the past, which meant that it wouldn't amount to much. However, appearing in a kind of movie was great for new actresses since it would grow their acting portfolio, making them more attractive to directors.

"What's the role you're auditioning for again?" Darius asked.

Clara had told him a few minutes ago, but he still couldn't quite remember what it was.

"I'm auditioning for the role of the main heroine of the story. It's still a side character since she only shows up at the end, saving everyone. However, if I play this right, I could make a huge impact on the movie, and people should remember my face."

Darius nodded. "What was the name of that movie again? Whispers of the Abyss?"

"Yeah. Exactly…"

They were currently both sat next to one another as Clara was practically the only actress in the waiting room with a manager with her. The rest of them almost looked lost for some reason.

"And what about the director? Do you know him?"

"Uh…actually. It's a girl, so it should be a directress. I've worked with her once in the past; she's really good, in my opinion."

Darius was interested in knowing her name as she might actually have some talent just like Clara was implying right at this moment.

"What's her name?"

"Chloe Amber. As far as I know, she's new to the industry. I was part of her first movie, after all."

'Chloe Amber?' Darius thought as he rubbed his chin for some time. Nothing came up to him right away. However, she might have done a few movies that he had liked. If possible, he would need to talk to her and see if she had some scripts that she could give him.

Darius only knew the very big directors in the industry as he was a lot more focused on the actresses and the actors in general. After all, those were his clients.

"Do you think it would be possible for me to meet her?" Darius asked with a smile, causing a slight blush to appear on Clara's face.

"Uh…maybe, if I get the role. You'll have a lot of time to talk with her. That's for sure." Still, Clara had a slight frown on her face as if she had a question on her mind, and sure enough, she did. "But why do you want to talk to her?"

"I want to read some of her future scripts and see if there are some with potential…"

The frown on Clara's face deepened. "That won't be possible unless you're very close to her. Directors don't give out their scripts like candy. It's a really secretive business."

Darius obviously knew that much. However, he had his way with a woman recently, and with some 'convincing', he might be able to get what he wanted.

He patted Clara's back with a smile. "Don't worry, I'll only talk to her for a bit. If she doesn't want to, then I won't insist at all."

"Well, I'll do my audition, and maybe you'll be able to. I can't promise you anything."

Darius nodded as he had noticed for the few days he had spent with Clara that it was quite hard to make her open up to him. She hadn't once tried to get closer to her as she kept her relationship with him purely professional.

While it would be a good thing in general with other managers. Darius wasn't exactly a normal manager, now was he?

His recruits needed to get intimate with him to become more talented. It wasn't exactly normal at all. In fact, it was the complete opposite. That's why he needed Clara to open up to him for her best interests.

It was also for his own, but he already had both Yuna and Avery, who were doing very good for the time being.

Avery has started streaming quite consistently over the past few days and has amassed a total of 1000 followers on Twitchy. Her social media was also growing extremely fast, just like Yuna's. One thing was certain: those two had their career paths already set for them. It was only a question of time before they started to become international stars.

'Yuna's first single will be the turning point for sure,' Darius thought. He knew of her increase in her capabilities, and there was not a single doubt in his mind that she wouldn't fail in getting popular.

Nevertheless, right now, Darius needed to charm Clara. He had tried to give her a few massages, but she would always refuse him out of politeness from the looks of it.

Even his increased Charm Stat hadn't made a difference at all. Nonetheless, Darius looked at the number on her chest and noticed that it was extremely high.

It was 292, and they were currently starting to go through the hundreds, which meant that he had at the very least one hour to charm her, and he had a great plan. He would practice acting with her. After all, he remembered in her scenes that she had to be quite touchy with her co-star, which would give a lot of opportunities for Darius to touch her and seduce her.

He only needed one last thing: For Clara to agree to his offer.

"Since you're one of the last people to audition, what about we practice with one another. I'll play the role of the main character, while you play the role of the heroine. What about it?"

Clara seemed hesitant as she didn't answer right away. However, she finally succumbed and nodded her head, agreeing to his proposition.
