Chapter 1085 A Sense of Familiarity
"No! In my opinion, the most beautiful one would of course be you," Larry replied sincerely.
Eleanor frowned when she saw him. "Why do you look so familiar? I felt like I've seen you before
somewhere."
Eleanor was very certain that she had indeed met Larry before.
"Him?" Veronica Murphy pointed at Larry. "He's a popular actor, of course, you've seen him before, but
probably only on TV."
"Oh," Eleanor had an epiphany and nodded. "You're right. That's probably why you look so familiar."
"Now that you've met me, you'll be able to recognize me in the future." Larry put his arm around
Veronica's shoulder and opened the door to the audition hall while telling Eleanor, "Miss Eleanor, come.
Let me show you around."
The three of them entered the audition hall together. They saw a slender and beautiful girl performing a
scene of extreme hunger.

"You two can sit here and rest for a while. We'll call you later." Larry patted Veronica's shoulder and
whispered, "Don't be nervous. With me around, I guarantee you'll be fine."
"Thank you," Veronica said.
"No need to thank me. You thanking me will shorten your life," he replied jokingly.
After saying that, Larry turned and walked to the judging panel. He sat down and started to watch
attentively.
At this moment, the actress finished the scene and stood in front of the judges. She bowed and waited
for their comments.
"Finished? What kind of acting was that?" A bald man sitting in the center of the judging panel adjusted
his glasses and pointed at her, reprimanding her in a deep voice. "You were supposed to portray a poor
child who hadn't eaten for two days. Although it was a non-physical performance, as a professional
actor, how could you fail to do the basics?"
"It was overacted and lacked nuance." Larry summed it up concisely.
Another judge shook his head. "I only have three words—out of character."
As the actress listened to the judges' comments, her eyes turned red, and tears welled up in them.
The bald man immediately pointed at her. "Now, your current state is much more realistic. It can evoke
emotions and stir our emotions."
The actress, feeling unjustly treated, pursed her lips. She felt that the director was humiliating her so
she retorted, "But I've never experienced being hungry for two days without anything to eat. I've tried
my best."
"What is acting? Acting is a form of performance. You said you couldn't portray the feeling because you
have never experienced hunger. Do those actors who act as murderers really have to kill someone to
portray that kind of sensation?" The director was displeased, and he waved his hand. "Next!"
At this moment, the actress finished the scene and stood in front of the judges. She bowed and waited
for their comments.

The actress covered her face in grievance and ran out of the audition hall crying.
After witnessing this scene, Veronica became anxious.
She was an actor with zero experience. Would she even have a chance?
Even that professional actress just failed the audition. Veronica felt that she might not have a chance
either.
"You are Veronica Murphy, right?"
The director in the middle beckoned to Veronica. "Come here."
Veronica became nervous for no reason. Eleanor, who was beside her, made a 'good luck' gesture.
"Don't be nervous, you'll definitely make it."
"I hope so." After she breathed a sigh of relief, she stood up and walked in front of the judges. "Hello
everyone, I'm Veronica."
The bald director leaned back in his chair and pointed at her. "You're Matthew Kings's ex-wife, right?"
When it came to her personal life, Veronica's expression was obviously displeased, but she still nodded
politely. "Yes."
"I've seen your scenes with Stephan in 'Interstellar.' Although you don't have acting skills, your
physicality is good. We need a supporting actress in this ancient drama to play the female lead's
personal female guard and there are a lot of action scenes."
