Chapter 239
Chapter 239
The character she played was Melanie Warren, a down-and-out former heiress of a wealthy family. Melanie was meeting her father for the first time after six years, but he didn't even know she existed, let alone her identity.
As she had been through a similar experience herself, Denise was able to immerse herself into the role by recalling her first encounter with Kenneth.
She then stood up straight and lifted her head slightly as she imagined Kenneth standing in front of her.
“Hello, mister! If you were to have a child, would you prefer a son or a daughter?” Denise said with a hint of cautiousness in her tone.
The director frowned slightly when he noticed her deviating slightly from the script, but he watched on without interrupting her.
“I've tried imagining what my daddy would look like. You look quite similar to the person in my imagination!”
As if she actually got a response from her imaginary father, Denise said with a disappointed look on her face, “Ah, so you prefer a son...” Seconds later, she broke into a smile as she continued, “In that case, I wish you all the best in having a handsome-looking son!”
She then finished her scene by waving as she said, “Goodbye, mister!”
Despite it being a very short scene, the three of them were still touched to tears after watching her performance.
Denise's acting skills and her ability to deliver those lines naturally made the scene incredibly emotional.
“Amazing!” The director started clapping his hands all of a sudden.
Having been snapped out of her daze, Sharon turned around to wipe her tears dry before asking with a smile, “Well? What do you think, sir?”
The director was clearly excited. “Are you sure this is her first time acting in a show?”
Sharon nodded. “I believe so.”
“She changed the lines on her own, but I think she pulled it off a lot better. Not only did she deliver the lines more naturally, but she's also comfortable with performing in front of an audience! It's almost as if she's meant to be an actress! With a little bit of training, she'll be able to make a
name for herself in no time! You've been a tremendous help, Sharon! This little girl is absolutely perfect for the role! Thanks to you, we can finally start the filming process!” said the director.
Sharon was shocked when she heard that.
This director is among the best in the entertainment industry! Every single show he directed has become a hit, so he's super picky when it comes to selecting the right actors. I never expected him to praise Denise so much!
After taking a moment to regain her composure, Sharon said, “I'm just glad she didn't cause you any problems.”
“All right, it's decided. We'll go with her. Someone arrange for the signing of the contract! I want her ready for the photo shoot as soon as possible!” the director shouted at the assistant director. He was actually in a rush to start shooting but insisted on finding the right actress for the role.
“Wait! I need to give her family a call about it and have them sign the contract in person. This isn't my decision to make,” Sharon said after giving it some thought.
The director frowned upon hearing that but agreed to it anyway. “Fine, you can make the arrangements with Lewis.”
Lewis was the assistant director.
“All right.” Sharon nodded.
“I'll go make a phone call!” the director said as he walked away.
Sharon then waved at Denise, prompting her to get off the stage.
“I think I've found that feeling just now, Ms. Sharon...” “How was it? Was it fun?” Sharon asked with a smile.
Denise nodded. “Yeah, it was pretty fun!”
“The director said you're a natural and that you'd be able to make a name for yourself with a little bit of training!” Sharon mumbled with a jealous pout.
Denise's eyes lit up when she heard that. “Really?”
Sharon nodded. “Of course. This director has a very keen eye for talented individuals. Ninety-nine percent of his predictions have come true.
“Does that mean I'll become a celebrity in the future?” Denise asked.
“Yup! Do you like being a celebrity?”
“I don't really know how I feel about it, but I did enjoy the acting I did earlier. It was pretty fun!”
Wow... She really is a natural... Still, I'm curious... Does a talented child like her not crave a life offame and fortune?
With that in mind, Sharon said, “You'll be liked by a lot of people if you become a celebrity. You get to wear pretty clothes every day, and you'll even earn a lot of money! People are going to scream in excitement and take pictures of you whenever they see you. You'll also have personal bodyguards escorting you everywhere you go. Do you not look forward to any of that?”
“But I've already got tons of pretty clothes, and I don't think I've ever been in desperate need of money. Daddy said he'd pass Hamilton
Corporation down to me in the future, so I don't think I'd ever run out of money...” Denise replied with a frown.
Sharon was utterly shocked when she heard that. “Pass Hamilton Corporation down to you?”
“Yup!” Denise nodded.
“Don't you have two brothers? What about them?”
“Daddy said they'll have to make their own money. If they fail to do so, I am to provide them with just enough money to survive. Given how capable they are, they're definitely going to make a lot of money in the future. I don't think I'll have to worry about them at all. Also, they promised to keep Mommy and me safe from harm, so I'll be just fine!”
Sharon felt speechless as she realized how successful Denise was compared to her.
This girl has already reached the finish line while everyone else is still at the starting line... Who knows? I might even end up working for her one day! Man, the power of having a strong family background sure is terrifying!
Her train of thought was interrupted when Denise said, “As for being liked by lots of people... Nat told me that money is the only thing that is liked by every single person in the world. There will be those who like me as well as those who hate me. I looked you up while reading the news onlineExclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
yesterday, and I saw that you have both fans and haters. Being a celebrity doesn't mean everyone is going to like you.
Sharon froze in shock after hearing that.
How does a child like her have such mature thoughts? There's definitely more to her than meets the eye! I have a feeling that she'll be incredibly successful in the future, regardless of what she does. Given her education and family background, she'll outshine every other celebrity if she becomes one! Honestly, seeing her like this reminds me of myself when I first started my career...
With that in mind, Sharon smiled and nodded at her. “Yeah, you're right. Make sure to always remember what you said today. You should always remain the way you are no matter what becomes of this world. Do not let others change you so easily.”
“I'll be sure to remember that,” Denise said as she gladly accepted her advice.
“Also, please don't tell me about the people criticizing me. Just hearing about it is enough to get me angry.”
Denise chuckled. “I even helped you insult them back!”
Sharon's eyes lit up as she exclaimed with a smile, “Nice!”
