"Hello, this is Emilia Clarke, right?"
"Yes, sir. That''s me." She recognized the voice. It was the average guy.
"You pass. You can go to the Grey Pictures building tomorrow and ask for an inquiry. They''ll tell you what to do."
"E- Excuse me, sir? I passed the audition." She was surprised as she wiped her soup glistening lips.
"Yes."
"T- Thank you, sir! Thank you so much."
"I like the enthusiasm. By the way, stop calling me sir. Just call me Kazir or Director instead."
"Huh?"
The call ended with that, leaving Emilia speechless and stunned.

Franklin Maxwell got out of his car after parking it. He looked around and saw a lot of people wearing swim trunks, bathing suits and bikinis.
He was at Paradise Cove, a famous beach in Los Angeles. He wiped off his sweat and went to where the movie was being shot.
Franklin was Orlando Bloom''s agent. He was also the agent who tried to convince Kazir to change his agency back to WMA. Franklin went to great lengths, even going so far as to use sexy actresses and handsome actors to convince the director.
Unfortunately, his plan didn''t work. He thought everything was going well until news broke that Kazir Grey had renewed his contract with CAA.
Franklin received a lot of backlash from management. Almost a decade passed, but the WMA was still bitter about losing someone like Kazir.
Now the director was recognized as the best director in the industry. No one could deny Kazir''s talent in making blockbuster movies. The profit he brought to many studios was a huge amount.
On top of that, Kazir had a project every year! He was the most efficient and profitable director in the industry for a reason. Everyone would love to work with a guy like that.
"Cut! Ten minute break!"
Kazir announced, and the people dispersed and went about their business.
Orlando Bloom saw his agent and approached him.
The final part of the Lord of the Rings trilogy was to be released this year and Orlando had already finished all his scenes a few months ago. He was concentrating all his time on Pirates Of The Caribbean.
"Frank, what are you doing here? I thought you were meeting one of your clients today."
"You''re my biggest client, of course I should take care of you first. Warner Brothers contacted me, they want you to star in one of their big projects."
"Can I know the title? Have they given you the script?"
"It''s here." The agent handed the script to Orlando.
"Troy? You mean the Trojan War?"
"Epic war movies are becoming increasingly popular. Gladiator, Lord of the Rings, Saving Private Ryan, and even The Revenant. All of them have been successful at the box office. You can read the script and tell me what you think. Just don''t tell anyone for now... Well, you can ask Kazir for his opinion on the script. Don''t worry, that''s one of the reasons I''m here. Warner Brothers wants to know Kazir''s opinion on this epic movie".
Franklin was too shy to talk to Kazir, so he decided to use Orlando instead.
"I understand."
Clueless, Orlando easily agreed and started reading the script.
"Whose character am I playing?"
"It''s Prince Paris. Prince of Troy, Prince Hector''s younger brother."
Orlando had no idea who they were, but he nodded. This was a Warner Bros. project, they would probably spend at least $70 million on this project. That meant Orlando could get a huge salary.
After all, money was one of the main reasons why actors and actresses did this job.

[I saw Troy a few years and I liked it. I still remember the opening scene when Brad Pitt defeated a tall warrior with one attack. Anyway, I posted three chapters today. If you want to read more, you can wait for the three chapters tomorrow or subscribe to my Patreon or Ko-fi].
