5 minute later.

Sam fired the casting director with one sentence, and announced that he had found his favorite protagonist, which almost turned the entire Times Theater upside down.But no matter how chaotic it was outside, only Rosalind and chief director Sam Williams had an exceptionally peaceful indoor atmosphere.

His eyes kept falling on Rosalin and never left.But this kind of gaze didn't make Rosailin feel uncomfortable: there was no desire () in his gaze, and the chief director, who was dressed exaggeratedly and had a greasy tone, looked at Rosailin like a pure child.

The middle-aged man finally stood still. He stared blankly at Rosalin, and raised his hand almost instinctively: "Oh my god——"

Rosalind: "Please don't touch my face with your hands."

Sam: "Uh, how do you know I want to... well, sorry."

He raised his hand a third of the way and put it back again.But this embarrassment didn't last long, and Sam became happy because of Rosalin's straightforward refusal: "Even such an arrogant gesture is so similar to Edith! Tell me, child, what kind of reward do you want? What do you want?" I can give you as much as you want!"

That's it?

As early as when she decided to quarrel with the casting director, Rosalin had already begun to think about how to enter the theater in other ways.Unexpectedly, her words were not polite at all, but they attracted the favor of the chief director.

Before Rosalin could speak, the door finally opened.

A middle-aged lady with an elegant figure and simple clothes walked in.As soon as she opened the door, she glared at Sam Williams: "Sam, are you crazy? The casting director is chosen by the management, and you just tell him to go, how can I talk to the management?"

Sam snorted coldly: "Anyone who doesn't listen to the chief director should get out, have you seen how that bastard works? He just intends to reject all the interviewed actors, so that I promise the management to invite that damned Michelle Decker Mori will play the heroine."

Woman: "Michelle Dirksen is the best!"

Sam: "Of course, of course, being a bank tycoon's lover, throwing tens of thousands of dollars into it, even a goat can be praised as a 'pawn'--as far as her voice is concerned, I might as well find A goat for the female lead!"

The elegant middle-aged lady let out a long sigh.

She supported her forehead, rubbed the center of her brows with a headache, and simply gave up talking with Sam Williams, and turned to look at Rosalind.

"Sorry, boy, I think I'm obliged to say..."

The lady's words came to an abrupt end as she raised her head.While the words were stuck, her eyes were glued to Rosalin's body like glue: "My Christ Jesus!"

Rosalind: "..."

is this necessary!

"Good day, Ms. Miranda Williams." Rosalin nodded politely.

"How do you know I'm—forget it." The elegant middle-aged lady waved her hand: "What's your name, kid?"

Rosalind can't think of anyone other than his wife, Miranda Williams, who could argue with Sam Williams about firing the casting director.

Behind every legendary director is an excellent producer. It is none other than his wife who handles accounts, secures investment, and arranges all the running matters outside of the repertoire for Sam Williams.For decades, the cooperation of the husband and wife has pushed one play after another to the top.

Unlike the slightly exaggerated Sam, Miranda's clothes are very low-key. She wears cheap brands that can be bought in shopping malls, except that the silk scarf tied around her neck comes from high-end French luxury.

"Rosalind Rosakova," replied Rosalind.

"You're laughing, Rosaleen," Miranda said softly, "how about I show you around the theater?"

Rosalin made up her mind: "Okay."

"This way." Miranda pointed the way for Rosalind.

The Times Theater was once brilliant, and its scale is not small.The theater has a total of two large theaters and three small theaters, in addition to offices, rehearsal rooms and other logistics departments.Miranda dutifully introduced everything to Rosalin, and finally brought her to her office.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rosalin quickly noted down the layout of the theater.

Miranda's office is the same as hers: simple, rustic, without any expensive antiques, the only decoration is the flowers in the office.She closed the door, and then her elegant face inevitably showed traces of thought.

"I don't have to play Edith Poirot." Rosalind said suddenly.

Miranda looked up in surprise.

"The management asked Michelle Dirksen to be the lead actress," Rosalind explained, "I can play a supporting role, or other small roles."

A few words of argument between the Williamses were enough for Rosalind to understand the inner situation of "Angel Voices".

In name, the chief director has absolute control over the repertoire, but in fact, just like the future Hollywood film industry, there is still a number one person on top of the director, that is, the investor.The reason why the casting director is so difficult is probably because the general director Sam hopes to audition a suitable newcomer, while the investor intends to invite a popular female singer to play the leading role.

When there was a disagreement between the director and the management, the employee naturally listened to the latter.So the casting director's job is to go through the motions, and of course he doesn't respect the girl who is interviewing.

However, some directors will choose to make concessions, and geniuses such as Sam Williams will never lower their figures.I'm afraid he has long wanted to fire the casting director. The quarrel between Rosailin and the other party today was just a trigger.

However, Roseline didn't really come to Broadway to pursue her dreams.

She just hopes to get a suitable identity to enter and exit the theater, so that she can investigate what relic Gatsby and the "behind the scenes" want to get.

Rosalin thought for a while, and added: "But the script is really flawed."

Miranda's silence proved that Rosalin once again hit the crew's question.

Such a script, of course, is a modified script!The Williams couple are old friends of their mother. Even Rosalind, who has no memory of her mother, felt that the script was OOC. How could the couple not notice it?

"Rosalind, you are a clever boy."

Miranda sighed: "Almost as smart as Edith...God, you are so similar to her. The first time I saw you, I even thought it was Edith's ghost returning to the world from heaven."

"Thank you." Rosalin quickly smiled.There aren't many girls in the world who wouldn't be happy to hear someone compliment them on being like a mother.

"I know that Sam has a reputation for being willful and reckless. If he hadn't really taken a fancy to you, he would never have turned against the people placed by the investor at this juncture," Miranda added, "I believe in his choice. Sam thinks you can If you can do it, then you will definitely be able to do it.”

Rosalin quietly waited for Miranda's next turn.

"but……"

Sure enough, there is a "but" behind it.

"Sam's persistence in art often makes him ignore the reality. The reason why I talk to you alone is that I am afraid that he will give you too much hope after he agrees." Miranda said sincerely, "Son, I will do my best If you can convince the investors, if not, then the second most important role in "Angel Voice" is yours, can you accept it?"

As a repertory coordinator, Miranda has done a good job in terms of attitude and way of doing things.

She was willing to explain the situation to a young girl with no experience and fight for a role for her, which is enough to show that the Williams couple's fame is not only based on talent, but also the respect for art.

However, at the end of Rosalin's thoughts, there was also a "but".

Miranda Williams is elegant and beautiful.Even though she was nearly fifty years old, her wrinkled face was still so noble, and her long legs were still as straight as her back.She was a dancer, and only from this proper standing posture, Rosalin could tell that Miranda was also an excellent dancer.

"Aren't you unwilling?" Roseline asked.

"what?"

"If you don't do things for Sam," said Rosalind, "you may be just as successful as he is."

Rosalin didn't know what Miranda was doing before, but she knew that after marrying Sam Williams, Miranda Williams has been an effective coordinator for escorting talented directors for 30 years.

Miss Marple always asked Rosalind to be considerate when asking questions, and if she herself felt unhappy being asked a question, she should not ask it.But this time, Rosalin really couldn't hold back.

Would a dancer not be reconciled to gaining achievements after giving up his career?

Comparing her heart with her heart, Rosalin is absolutely not reconciled.It was precisely because she felt unwilling that she wanted to ask.

When the question landed, Miranda was stunned for a moment, and then some rippling light appeared in the eyes with wrinkles.

"Do you know," she laughed, but did not directly answer Rosalind's question, "When Edith first saw me, she asked me the same question."

Rosalin opened her mouth, but Miranda took the first step and stopped her question: "Leave your contact information, Rosalin. I will notify you personally when there is a result."

…………

……

the next afternoon.

After receiving the call, Rosalin came to the Times Theater again.

During the interview the day before yesterday, she had to wait for two full hours in an airtight corridor with countless imitators of Edith Poirot; today, as soon as Rosalin got off the car, the chief director Sam burst into excitement. He came out and opened the taxi door for her personally.

Such a situation startled the taxi driver, thinking that he was pulling some rich business lady.

"My dear Rosalind!!"

Sam raised his hand, but just as he showed his intention to open his arms, Rosalin took a quick step back.

The director's hug was in vain, but he was not angry at all, instead he beamed with a "please" gesture: "You are finally here, I have been waiting for you all morning!"

Rosalin was a little surprised: "The investor gave in?"

Originally, she thought that she could only get a supporting role, but seeing Sam's undisguised happiness, the willful director should get his wish.

"Miranda, the omnipotent Miranda," Sam covered his heart, "She can always surprise me—if it doesn't make sense for the investor, then we will change the investment!"

I've heard of investors firing directors, but I haven't heard of directors firing investors!

Among other things, these business tycoons themselves are an alliance.Isn't it a matter of minutes to block a director after offending a certain giant?In just two days, Miranda was able to find a new investor regardless of offending the management?

Even if the Williams couple are not afraid of "power", then the new investors don't weigh it?

Rosalind was a little dazed.

"The new investor not only agreed to you to be the heroine," Sam didn't notice Rosalin's strangeness at all, "they also immediately fired the screenwriter who was stuffed in by the previous investor, we can use the original script!"

After speaking, he opened the door of the office for Rosalin.

"Rosalin, come and meet our new benefactor!"

The man standing at the desk turned around hearing the sound.

A tall gentleman in a suit and leather shoes, he met Rosalin's sight, took off his stylishly designed light-colored flat cap, and placed it casually on the table.When he raised his head again, the man's slender eyelashes were lifted like a curtain, and when he looked over with clear and light blue eyes, a slight smile overflowed his eyes.

Rosalind: "..."

She knew she would meet Jay Gatsby soon, but not even Rosalind expected it to be so soon.

Mr. Gatsby, the new investor of "Singing Angels", raises his perfect smile that always makes people feel good.But this smile was not for Rosalin, he looked at director Sam with a nice smile.

"Won't you introduce our leading lady for me, Oldsport?" said Gatsby.
