Chapter 571\u00a0<\/p>\n
Unsure why Gustave was suddenly asking, Larissa replied, \u201cOf course. He was one of the candidates for the male lead in Gale Entertainment\u2019s show.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had, however, arranged for Livia to have him rejected. Otherwise, Gale Entertainment might have actually cast him, which would have ruined her plan to sabotage their series.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRight. Well, probably because he was rejected by them, Rigby called me yesterday,\u201d Gustave explained. \u201cHe said he wants to audition for the role of the main villain in\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Heaven\u2019s Will\u2018.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
So that was it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Larissa felt a pang of guilt. Rigby was, in a way, a casualty of her battle with Lucius. She had already been considering casting him as the lead in Starlight Media\u2019s next project, if he was interested.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTo be honest, Rigby is relatively new, he\u2019s only been in the business for two years. But I\u2019ve seen his work. Compared to Fulbright, who Gale ultimately chose, Rigby\u2019s acting has more raw talent and isn\u2019t so formulaic. So I gave him an audition slot for today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
So that was Gustave\u2019s plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa smiled. \u201cGustave, I\u2019ve told you before, casting decisions are entirely up to you. As long as you\u2019re happy with the choice, that\u2019s all that matters.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI appreciate you saying that, Larissa,\u201d Gustave replied, \u201cbut I have some concerns. Like Wynn, he has a lot of scandals attached to his name. I know Wynn personally, but I don\u2019t know much about Rigby. Plus, he auditioned for \u2018Soaring High\u2018 and only considered our project after being rejected.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry, Gustave,\u201d Larissa assured him. \u201cI\u2019ve already had Rigby looked into. Those scandals were fabricated to smear him. He\u2019s clean. Even if you choose him, it won\u2019t negatively affect the show. I trust your judgment. Don\u2019t let anything else hold you back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright. If he passes the audition, I\u2019ll cast him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just as Larissa was about to hang up, Gustave asked, \u201cBy the way, Larissa, do you want to come watch his audition?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa had been about to decline, but the villain in \u201cHeaven\u2019s Will\u201d was just as compelling as the hero. With no urgent work on her plate, she changed her mind. \u201cWhat time is his audition?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI scheduled him for eleven this morning.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa checked the time. It was half\u2013past nine giving her an hour and a half.\u00a0<\/p>\n
115\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 571\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, I\u2019ll be there.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Larissa arrived at the hotel where Gustave was holding auditions, it was ten\u2013thirty. The hallway benches were filled with handsome young men, many of whom were recognizable faces in the industry, waiting for their turn.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They didn\u2019t notice her at first. Three actors sitting nearest to her were whispering among themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what Rigby is thinking, coming here to audition for \u2018Heaven\u2019s Will\u2018. There\u2019s no way Starlight Media will hire him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, he\u2019s got so many scandals, and he even assaulted a director on set. I heard he\u2019s basically blacklisted.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe got rejected by Gale Entertainment, and now he thinks Starlight will take him? Doesn\u2019t he know the two companies are at war?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa\u2019s gaze settled on a young man sitting quietly in the middle of the hallway, alone and seemingly detached from the surrounding chatter. Though it was snowing in Regal City, he wore a simple, crisp white down jacket and black pants.\u00a0<\/p>\n
