Mr. Fairchild's Rose: She is Wild and Proud Chapter 329 - 219: Southern Mountain Script - Ms. Roland (2)

"Hello Ms. Roland, Director, and fellow producers. I’m Maeve Lane."

She gave a brief greeting, and the people in the audience nodded slightly.

"Let’s begin the audition, then. You can draw a lot; each one represents a segnt from the book." Director Osborne smiled and said, "After drawing a lot, you’ll have five minutes to prepare, and then your performance will start."

"Alright."

"Southern Mountain" is a family cody film focused on familial love, viewed through the lens of two families.

It tells the story of—

Ruby Reed is the only daughter of the Reed Family’s third generation, but went missing due to an accident. They’ve never given up on finding her, yet no news about Ruby ever ca.

After disappearing, Ruby was adopted by foster parents by chance. Her foster parents are kind-hearted; despite their frequent little squabbles, the family has always been happy. Reed is very loved, with an affectionate brother who always indulges her.

In a chance encounter at an art exhibition, her biological mother Yvonne Chaucer t Reed, who was working part-ti as a guide. Feeling a strong affinity, Yvonne invited her to be a guest at her ho, growing increasingly fond of her and eventually adopting her as a goddaughter.

During an outing, Yvonne and Ruby were in a car accident, requiring a blood transfusion. Ruby decisively got her blood type tested in preparation to donate, only to discover Yvonne is her biological mother, leading to a family reunion.

At the end, Ruby enjoys the love from both families, who move together and live harmoniously.

Ruby is undeniably the main female character, while Director Osborne ntioned veteran actors would play other roles like Mr. and Mrs. Reed.

Maeve drew the segnt where Reed ets her mother.

In the gallery, she was working a holiday side job to help with household expenses, and at that ti she didn’t know that the woman in front of her, Yvonne Chaucer, was her biological mother.

Actually, there aren’t many words, and more emotions need to be expressed through eye contact.

"Maeve, are you ready?" Director Osborne said, "It’s already been five minutes."

"I’m ready, let’s begin."

"Alright, photographer, in position."

Maeve stood on stage, opened her eyes, and seed to transform instantly, trying to recall the youthful energy from her college days.

Her rosy lips curled up, holding a small gaphone, talking to the air.

Her gaze expressed sincerity with just the right amount of distance.

...

After the segnt ended, Mrs. Roland remained silent for a long ti.

Maeve stood on stage calmly, not feeling embarrassed.

Director Osborne reminded, "Ms. Roland, what do you think of Maeve’s performance?"

After a pause, Ms. Roland finally spoke, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Is this your performance?"

"Yes."

"Can you explain why you portrayed Reed as so distant? She should feel close when seeing her mother due to their blood connection." Ms. Roland seed a bit disappointed. "Didn’t you read my book? It’s clearly written in the original."

Director Osborne thought this might bode ill, perhaps indicating dissatisfaction with Maeve’s performance.

But the two previous candidates had already been eliminated. Now what should he do?!

He quickly looked at Maeve, hoping she might provide a better explanation.

Maeve was silent for a mont, then said, "Actually, I think your description in the original isn’t quite suitable."

The audience was in an uproar, surprisedly looking at Maeve, then whispering among themselves.

"Maeve, what are you saying?" Director Osborne frowned.

"Let her speak." Ms. Roland leaned back in her chair, arms crossed.

"In the original, Reed is characterized as being cheerful. I rember you once wrote about how Ruby Reed was accustod to keeping a distance from people since her school days. This invisible, abstract blood connection wouldn’t make soone accustod to distance act beyond their social boundaries."

Ms. Roland’s frown deepened as she listened, "So, according to you, if Reed doesn’t develop a good impression of Yvonne upon their first encounter, wouldn’t the subsequent plot collapse? If Ruby stays on guard against Yvonne, then how could Yvonne beco her godmother later?"

Faced with Ms. Roland’s increasingly impatient tone, Maeve replied without losing composure, "Therefore, I believe it needs revision."

"Oh? How would you revise it?"

Director Osborne had already given up; it seed he would have to look for new actors. Though Maeve fit the character well, her directness was too much; the madam probably never expected to be made so uncomfortable.
