Ariana leaned back, assessing her work for a moment. Then she nodded in satisfaction. “Makeup gives you the look of the character, which is a big plus. The rest is up to you. You better give it your best later.”
“Don’t worry. | will try my best.” Tyler looked at her obediently as he spoke. He was so adorable like a cute puppy. Ariana patted him on the head and said, “Well, if you are a good boy, I'll buy you dinner when we get back.”
“Can | have some spaghetti? | haven't had carbs in too long. I’m craving it.” Since Tyler joined the crew, his diet was strictly controlled so that he would maintain his physique.
As the two people were talking, footsteps were heard from behind them. It was none other than Jayson.
Ariana immediately put on a smile and greeted the director. “I’m glad you finally came, Mr. Spears. This is the actor I recommended to you, Tyler Brewer.”
After saying that, she cast a gaze at Tyler, hinting him to greet the director.
Tyler bowed politely. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Spears. It’s my honor to learn from someone like you.”
Tyler kept in mind what Ariana had said and didn’t smile. He didn’t show many expressions either as he looked at Jayson. For some reason, a tight frown appeared on Jayson’s face the moment he saw Tyler.
Ariana’s heart began to race. Something seemed off about Jayson. She wondered if he was displeased with Tyler.
On second thought, it was normal for a director to have his own standards while selecting an actor.
“Have you read the script?” Jayson asked in a dull voice, making it difficult to discern his emotions.
Before Tyler could respond, Ariana stepped in. “He hasn't. You told me not to show it to him beforehand. I’ve always kept that in mind.”
Jayson nodded and handed Tyler a page from the script. “Prepare yourself. Return to me in five minutes to give it a try.”
Five minutes was hardly enough time for anyone to prepare adequately. Confused, Ariana glanced at the page, realizing it was a scene where Jaxen Carter, the lead role, dug a hole in an abandoned building to bury a body. The role had no lines; it was a solitary performance of digging.
The atmosphere of the abandoned factory matched the scene, but the play seemed too simplistic, leaving no room for Tyler to display his talent. The paper offered only a brief introduction to the role and a couple of introductory sentences.
Without reading the rest of the script, it was impossible to convey the character’s personality.
Ariana looked at Tyler with concern. As she was about to speak, Jayson asked, “Is there any problem?”
Tyler shook his head and replied, “No, there isn’t.”
With that, he retreated to the side with the paper, examining it intently.
Ariana had considered asking Jayson to add more story or context but decided against it. At this point, the outcome of the performance hinged on Tyler’s interpretation.
