“Ms. Harrington, his name is Mark, and he’s eight months old now.”
Hearing everyone praise her son, Rosalie had a look of pride on her face.
She felt that she had accomplished nothing in her life, having made no name for herself despite being in Hollywood for so long.
The only thing she was proud of was having such a smart and adorable child like Mark.
“He’s the one! Such an adorable child, like an Angel—he’s exactly what our company wants!”
Julia said with a look of delight.
As the manager of Lisa Milk Powder Company, Julia was in charge of this commercial project, and she had the final say.
“Hmm… according to procedure, we still need to do an audition first to see if the child can cooperate during the shoot.”
Caleb nodded without raising any objections.
He was also very satisfied with Mark’s appearance.
Caleb then checked the various documents Rosalie had brought, and then had someone hand her the script.
“Ms. Payne, this is the script for the commercial. Please take a look first.”
The content of the commercial was very simple this time.
Rosalie, playing the mother, makes the formula for the child and hands it to him to drink.
After drinking the formula, the child claps his hands and laughs happily.
Finally, Rosalie picks up the formula can and recites the commercial tagline to the camera, and that’s it.
What was originally a simple commercial wasn’t so easy to shoot because it required an infant on camera.
Of the dozens of children who auditioned before, either their appearance wasn’t satisfactory, or they simply wouldn’t cooperate during filming.
Some kept crying loudly, some refused to drink the formula given to them, and others would just crawl around aimlessly on the floor.
Caleb now only hoped that Mark would be a bit more cooperative.
101 Books, 101kks.com is awesome, all hand-typed error-free chapters.
“Director, I’ve finished reading it.”
After memorizing the lines, Rosalie handed the script back.
“Alright, let me prepare for the audition now!”
Once the staff set up the props and positioned the actors, Caleb nodded and gave the command, “Action!”
The camera nearby immediately focused on Rosalie and Mark, who was sitting on the floor beside her.
Rosalie picked up the bottle from the dining table nearby and expertly prepared the formula.
Just this alone made her better than many actors who had never raised a child before.
After making the formula, Rosalie squatted down and handed it to Mark.
“Baby, time for milk!”
However, she quickly saw Mark naturally take the bottle, put it in his mouth, and begin to drink.
“Great!”
Caleb and everyone around breathed a sigh of relief.
In this scene alone, many of the previous children hadn’t cooperated, giving them huge headaches!
Once Mark finished drinking the formula, Rosalie reached out and took the bottle.
The final scene was the baby clapping and laughing aloud, which was also the most difficult scene to shoot in this commercial.
Previously, many parents had tried everything to guide their children, but the results were disappointing.
Rosalie squatted outside the camera frame, clapping her hands to guide Mark.
Mark didn’t want to act too unusual; after all, he was only an eight-month-old infant right now, and it would be bad if people thought he was a monster.
Faced with Rosalie’s prompting, he initially just giggled and ignored her actions.
Rosalie was very patient and continued to clap to prompt him.
After she repeated the gesture three times, Mark acted as if he had discovered something fun and mimicked her by clapping his hands.
“Wonderful! The baby is so amazing!”
“He’s the smartest baby I’ve ever seen!”
“…”
Seeing this scene, Julia immediately cheered.
Everyone else around also began clapping joyfully.
“Lisa Milk Powder: Optimal nutrition for worry-free growth!”
After the applause quieted down, Rosalie picked up the formula can and recited the final tagline to the camera.
“Excellent!”
Caleb nodded in satisfaction and said to Julia and the other two beside him, “For this commercial shoot, let’s use her and little Mark!”
“Great, I agree!”
“This child is full of spirit; when the commercial airs, it’ll definitely be a hit!”
“…”
The other three also nodded in agreement.
Darian Horton, manager of Tenda Advertising Agency, pulled out two contracts prepared in advance and handed them to Rosalie.
“Ms. Payne, if you have no objections to the terms, please sign these two contracts!”
Rosalie took the two contracts, looked them over, and signed her name on them.
“Here’s to a successful partnership!”
Darian smiled and shook hands with Rosalie, advising her, “Please come back to our company in three days for the official shoot.” This chapter is updated first at g.com.
“Alright, I’ll keep that in mind.”
Rosalie nodded, bade everyone farewell, and left.
As she and Daphne pushed the stroller out of the audition room, they ran into Emily waiting outside.
Emily gave Rosalie a provocative look and walked into the audition room with her head held high.
“Sorry, ma’am, the two roles for this commercial have already been decided. I hope we can work together again in the future.”
Darian’s apologetic voice came from inside the audition room.
This was followed by Emily’s furious cursing: “What? That’s impossible! Damn it…”
Rosalie and Daphne looked at each other and smiled, quickly stepping out of the company building.
To celebrate landing the roles in this commercial, Rosalie later treated Daphne to a big meal at KFC.
After eating and drinking their fill, the two brought Mark back home.
Looking at his sunlight value, which had increased by 20 points, Mark was also very satisfied after returning home.
Not only did he help Rosalie get the commercial role to improve their living conditions, but he also gained more sunlight value—a total win-win situation!
Three days later, Rosalie and Daphne took Mark once again to Tenda Advertising Agency.
“Ms. Payne, please follow me.”
An employee led them into the elevator and took them up to the top floor.
This was the official shooting location for the commercial.
The original office had been converted into a cozy kitchen setting.
Sunlight spilled through the massive floor-to-ceiling windows, filling the entire room.
Mark sat up from inside the stroller.
Through the huge floor-to-ceiling window, he could look out over most of Hollywood.
“Now this is living! When I have money in the future, I must buy a penthouse mansion with huge floor-to-ceiling windows, so I can soak in the Sun almost all day long!”
Watching his sunlight value rapidly increase, Mark silently vowed to himself.
Here, he could enjoy sunlight almost all day long, which was way better than their beat-up apartment!
“Ms. Payne, welcome!”
Darian stepped forward with a smile and shook hands with Rosalie.
Caleb, who was setting up the scene with the crew, turned to look at Rosalie and Mark as they walked in.
In particular, after noticing Mark’s fair and tender skin, quite a few people gasped in amazement.
“Oh my god! I heard before that our little actor was as gorgeous as if he’d been kissed by God, but I didn’t expect it to be true!”
“Little Mark is so cute! Once our commercial airs, it might really become a hit!”
