Chapter 94 (Part One)
Melissa kept frozen with her eyes almost popping out of surprise. Because she had heard director Li's words that he said Mr. Colin was here. Did Colin come here? Was Colin in? She didn't know what to do at that moment. If Colin was here, how would she face him after she walked in? What was the relationship between Colin and director Li?
Just when Melissa was hoping that she misheard, the God didn't take pity on her. Instead, she heard that Colin spoke seriously, "Director Li, you're welcome. Our company cooperated with you in a TV series last time and it was really a big deal. You rarely filmed a large-scale swordsmanship this time, so we should support you. I hope our cooperation can succeed here!" "We can lead a win-win cooperation. Ha-ha!" She clearly heard Colin's sexy and pleasant voice. It seemed that he was in a good mood today.
Director Li, of course, kept laughing. It was rare to meet such a wealthy man today and Colin was well- known for his generosity. With his investment, was he still afraid that his crew would lack funds? Then director Li asked Colin, "Mr. Colin, what's your request for the investment on my movies?" "Which star do you want to be paid attention?"
It was a common case for the entertainment circle's investors to let their actors or actresses work for them. In particular, Colin, such a wealthy man, would have to support one or two artists each time he invested in a movie. Director Li was accustomed to it, so he took the initiative to ask him about that. Although director Li had a name in his mind, he would agree if Colin wanted to change another leading actor. Because everyone had to bow before money, not to mention the "Prince of the underworld".

Colin slightly smiled and said, "Yes, there is a candidate who will take part in a movie invested by our company. We have to help her win the audience's attention before the movie starts. What do you think?"
"Then what role does Mr. Colin has chosen?" Director Li asked.
Just then, a staff member who brought Melissa here knocked on the door. Seeing the staff knocking the door, Melissa quickly uttered a "No" in a low voice. But it was late for her to remind the staff. He didn't turn to Melissa until he knocked on the door with asking, "What's up?"
In the lounge, when director Li heard someone knocking on the door, he answered loudly, "Come in!"
It was too late. Melissa had to put down her hand and lower her head. She really didn't want to meet Colin, but she had no choice.
The staff opened the door and walked in when he didn't hear any response from Melissa. He told director Li that she had arrived. Director Li asked Melissa to come in.
Melissa had no choice but to get in. As soon as she walked into the lounge, there were only two of them in the room, the fat director Li and Colin, who were sitting respectively on the sofa and talking. As soon as she walked in, she felt stressful as Colin's scorching gaze fell on her, which seemed so stressful that she couldn't breathe as that she didn't even dare to look up.
Director Li took a look at her from head to toe and asked, "Are you the famous star under the charge of Zack, Melissa?"
Trying her best to compose herself, Melissa raised her head and said to Director Li, "Yes!"
Director Li stared at her for a while and said: "Good. You are tall and have an oval face. You in men's clothes should be a little heroic."
Hearing director Li's words, Melissa felt relieved. At least, her first impression was good. But what worried her most was that if the director thought she was too weak for men's wear, then everything would be over. So she couldn't help but laugh facing director Li.
But after that, she found that Colin had been staring at her. She looked at him and found that he was still sitting on the sofa sluggishly, with his legs crossed and his hand on the armrest of the sofa. He was still that handsome. He smiled meaningfully and his eyes were enchanting. No one knew what he was thinking about. So Melissa was nervous and didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, director Li asked again, "What kind of movie did you shoot before?"
Melissa tried to avoid eye contact with Colin, ignoring his aggressive gaze on her. Then she calmly replied to the director, "I once played the heroine of The Empress Woman, Ice Hua, and the supporting roles of several ancient fashion play……" Melissa told the director her experience, which would be as complicated as possible. After all, she didn't shoot many scenes, so she was afraid that the director might think that she wasn't experienced enough. Then she added, "And the director Li, I graduated from the Acting Department of Harvey Film and Television School! "I ranked first when I graduated!"
Director Li couldn't help laughing and he was almost choked by the tea. Then he looked up at Melissa and said, "But judging from your experience, you still have little experience, except that you acted in an ancient costume drama five years ago." Besides, you'd better not tell people that you graduated from the Acting Department of Harvey Film and Television School at your interview in the future, because it may make people think that you don't have any qualifications. You can only take advantage of your school. "Experienced people don't even talk about school, because they have starred in some big film. Besides, in this circle, we don't care if you graduated from a film academy. What we value more is your acting skill and qualifications."
Melissa didn't know whether director Li was laughing at her or he was just giving her advice. It sounded uncomfortable and it seemed that he didn't accept her. But it was understandable for him to think about that. She was not an experienced actress. Director Li was a great director and he had seen a lot of stars. It was understandable for him to dislike her. So she lowered her head and said sincerely, "Director, I really don't have any experience, but my acting skills are guaranteed. Anyway, you give me a chance first in an effort to let me try on my acting. At that time, can't you see it?"
Hearing that, Colin chuckled. Melissa had a look at him. He was playing with the shining platinum diamond ring in his hand. The laughter seemed to laugh at her, but it was not.
