America: Child stars start with The Shining

The actors were getting impatient waiting in the hallway outside.

What exactly is going on?

The time it took Charles to get inside far exceeded their expectations.

Normally, when an actor goes in for an audition, they should come out in about ten minutes.

If you perform poorly, like some actor before you, you might be politely asked to leave by the audition director within minutes.

But what about Charles?

He's been inside for over half an hour!

As a result, there was still no movement in the audition room; the door remained unopened.

This is just too strange.

What exactly happened inside?

The actors waiting for their auditions looked at each other, their curiosity piqued.

If there weren't staff members on site, they would have loved to push the door open right now and see what was going on inside.

"Could it be that he was kept in there by the director because he performed too well?"

One of the boys couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

As soon as he said that, someone next to him immediately glanced at him.

"How is that possible? Even if they perform exceptionally well, how could they stay this long?"

"Moreover, none of the actors who had already acted in many dramas stayed in the audition room for this long."

"I think... something's probably wrong with that guy."

The man pursed his lips, seemingly unconcerned, but his tone still carried a hint of unease.

After all, this was the first time he had encountered such an unusual situation during an audition, and he was somewhat uneasy.

He came specifically for the male lead role!

Time passed second by second, and the group looked at the clock on the wall.

"No way..."

The blond boy standing at the front muttered something under his breath.

His expression was rather unpleasant.

He had been preparing for this audition for a long time.

From the moment he received the audition clip, he practiced singing every day, and even asked a teacher to help him adjust his vocal technique.

Before coming here, he always thought he was one of the most competitive candidates for the male lead.

But now, before he even had a chance to enter the door, his mind had already been thrown off balance by Charles.

This feeling is absolutely awful.

Another child actor nearby comforted him:

"Maybe it's because he had too many questions that the director kept correcting him, which delayed things a bit..."

None of them responded.

Because they all knew in their hearts that this was just self-deception; if their performance was really bad, the director would have asked them to leave long ago.

What chance would they possibly give us?

Sudden.

Just as the atmosphere in the corridor was becoming increasingly oppressive, the door to the audition room was finally opened from the inside.

Almost everyone's eyes turned to that direction at the same time.

Charles came out of the room.

His expression was calm.

There was neither obvious excitement nor disappointment on his face.

For some reason, seeing each other like this, they both breathed a sigh of relief and felt less pressured.

Charles looked at the group of people standing in the corridor with a puzzled expression.

What's wrong with them?

But he didn't pay any attention and walked directly down the corridor toward the door.

Since he had already achieved his goal, he had no time to comfort the remaining actors who had come to audition.

As for those who competed with him for the male lead role?

Charles could only wish them good luck.

He needs to go back as soon as possible to discuss the upcoming schedule with Ovitz.

It's worth noting that if a musical on Broadway becomes a huge hit, it's very likely to go on a global tour.

Although the so-called global tour is mostly concentrated in a few major countries, it still takes up a lot of time for Charles.

Moreover, it's a heavyweight traditional musical like "Oliver Twist," which is sure to attract a large audience.

He reckoned he'd be busy with this for a while.

Charles quickly walked to the door, and then he immediately saw Jennifer Aniston standing outside.

He stepped forward and greeted them.

Jennifer Aniston saw Charles, smiled, and asked:

"Hey, we meet again. How did the audition go?"

Charles shrugged:

"It's alright, I think there shouldn't be any problems."

After all, the director had already hinted at it to that extent...

Upon hearing this, Jennifer Aniston couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Then congratulations in advance, little child star."

"And you?"

Aniston hesitated for a moment:

"I'm not sure. None of the directors who interviewed me seemed to have a very clear attitude. It looks like I can only go back and wait for their notification."

As she spoke, she sighed softly, and couldn't help but recall her performance during the audition.

If she could have performed more naturally, it would have been better; unfortunately, she was still a bit too nervous.

Charles glanced at Jennifer Aniston's expression and said:

"It's okay, I believe in you, good luck."

After all, she's the future queen of American TV series, and Shirley has a lot of confidence in her.

Jennifer Aniston nodded, taking it as Charles trying to comfort her.

Soon, a black van pulled up in front of the door. Charles said goodbye to the van driver and got into the car.

Jennifer Aniston stood there, watching with envy as the van slowly drove away from her sight.

That's great...

No wonder he's a somewhat famous child star in Hollywood; he even got a chauffeur-driven car to his Broadway audition, unlike her...

Thinking of this, Jennifer Aniston suddenly paused.

She then realized that she seemed to have forgotten to ask Charles what role he was interviewing for.

However, she felt that it should be a minor supporting role.

After all, the other person's main job is making movies in Hollywood. Coming to Broadway for an audition is probably just something to do on the side.

Moreover, judging from Charles's confident demeanor just now, he must have already decided on his outcome.

If he auditioned for a role of the male lead caliber, how could the director have decided on the actor so quickly?

Thinking about this, Jennifer Aniston couldn't help but shake her head.

Why does she have to think so much about others?

She herself is still unsure whether she will get the role she deserves, so she should worry about herself more first.

Just then.

Several actors also came out of the theater, and they all looked dejected, their faces looking worse than the last.

"Fuck, what exactly does the director mean? What do you mean the male lead has been decided?!"

"This is a complete cover-up! This is absolutely a blatant cover-up!"

"Otherwise, why would we be told that guy named Ciel has already won the male lead role before we even went in for the audition?"

As they walked out, they discussed what had just happened through gritted teeth.

Jennifer Aniston, who was standing to the side, was stunned when she heard these words.

She blinked.

so......

Ciel auditioned for the male lead role?!
