Chapter ４

[Alex's perspective]

"This dance is too difficult."

I watched the dance video again and couldn't help sighing.

"Forget it, I need to keep practicing for the audition."

The phone call a few days ago caught me off guard.

"I have no experience at all, what can I do?"

A week's practice and weight loss filled me with confidence.

"When I arrive, I must grab this opportunity to prove myself!"

When I went to the audition place, I saw my brother, Mike.

"Brother, it’s nice seeing you.I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you recently?"

"Mind your own business and stay away from me."

"I ..."

Watching him drift away, I felt that I couldn't catch up with him more and more.

"It's my turn."

"Hello director, hello everyone, I am Alex, the audition actor no. 25."

"Let's start."

"OK."

I was well prepared, but because I couldn't focus, I made many mistakes.

"My career is over."

"Sorry, we can't see your talent and abilities."

"OK, I see."

After coming out, I met him again.

"I am really a waste. It's really not enough."

"I ... I have prepared well, but I just failed."

"I can't do anything well, and I also screwed up such a precious opportunity."

I received a phone call

"Hey, aunt landlady, what's the matter?"

"Huh?"

"I will definitely pay my rent to you next month, OK?"

"How can I fail like this?"

I cried even in public; I don't care.

After eating the last baked wheat cake and pickled mustard tuber, I gave a long sigh.

After returning home, I threw myself on the bed, took a hot bath, and was about to go to sleep when I received a phone call that seemed to save my fate.

"Hello, hello, looking for me?"

"Assistant, right?"

"OK, I'll go to Kohl Building tomorrow, right? OK, I see. "

"Can my future be so bright?"

"I always feel cheated."

The next day, I packed my bags and entered the cast, and met a familiar face.

"Charlie? You are also in this crew? Long time no see."

"Long time no see, Alex."

"Hey, how do you know my name?"

"Ah! I’ll be your assistant?"

"You know I like acting. Why do you want to do this? "

"Because I know you're cornered now."

"Do you have no conscience? Is it fun to take advantage of someone's weakness?"

"You calm down first, I won't do anything to you."

“I can let you act, and I can arrange a part for you, provided that you listen to me, just listen to me."

"I don't want to live a life of being supported."

I still felt uncomfortable in my heart, but I had to admit that his conditions are attractive.

"Agree?"

"I will keep my promise."

"Deal!"
