If possible, Mark would certainly prefer to stay outside for a longer period of time.

And the opportunity he had been waiting for soon arrived.

That evening, Rosalie's eyes lit up as she sat in front of her computer taking orders.

"Lisa Milk Powder Company is preparing to shoot a milk powder advertisement and needs a mother and a baby boy under one year old. Those who are interested, please come to Tengda Advertising Company for an audition within three days!"

"The actress playing the mother will be paid $1000 and must be beautiful and gentle; the baby boy will be paid $2000 and must be chubby, lively and cute, and able to cooperate with the director during filming."

Rosalie turned her head and glanced at Mark sitting on the ground behind her, his eyes fixed on the computer, and was immediately captivated.

She usually works as an extra on film sets, earning only $200 to $500 per scene, and she has to work non-stop from morning till night.

However, she could earn $3000 for filming an advertisement with Mark!

This was a considerable temptation for Rosalie, who was desperately short of money.

Moreover, compared to other competitors, she has a huge advantage, which is Mark!

Mark is no longer the wrinkled baby he was when he was born.

Now his chubby cheeks are incredibly pink, and his deep blue eyes are like the starry sky; he has completely inherited the physical genes of Rosalie and Tony Stark.

Such cubs are extremely dangerous to any adult.

Rosalie was absolutely certain that she could seize this opportunity with Mark's help.

Her only worry was that Mark was still too young.

"Mark, would you like to go shoot a commercial with Mom?"

Rosalie stared into Mark's eyes and asked softly.

She hadn't expected Mark to understand or respond.

But Mark's eyes lit up instantly when he heard her words: "Go! Go with Mom!"

This was undoubtedly a rare opportunity for Mark, who was looking forward to going out, and he naturally wouldn't refuse.

The next morning, Rosalie told Daphne about her plan to take Mark to shoot an advertisement and asked for her opinion.

Daphne is, after all, a professional infant caregiver, so if she doesn't agree, Rosalie will have to abandon her original plan.

"Hmm... Mark is eight months old, and he has always been very healthy, so he can definitely be taken out."

"But we must be careful to protect ourselves from the sun and wind and keep warm. We must not let strangers touch Mark or speak to him at close range."

After a moment's thought, Daphne offered her advice.

Chapter Six Auditions

After receiving Daphne's permission, Rosalie no longer hesitated and decided to take Mark to the audition.

However, before that, Rosalie first went through a series of procedures for Mark, including registering a social security number, obtaining a physical examination certificate, and a permit for minors to work in entertainment venues.

After a whole day of running around, Rosalie and Daphne, along with Mark, finally completed all the procedures.

Sunlight index: 28

Looking at the increase in sunlight value that day, Mark was very satisfied: "Sure enough, going outside to gain sunlight value is much more efficient than staying at home!"

Although Rosalie and Daphne took good care of him, the stroller had a sunshade that blocked most of the sun for him.

But as long as any part of Mark's body is exposed to sunlight, even through his clothes, he can collect sunlight.

The next morning, Rosalie and Daphne took Mark by taxi to Tengda Advertising Company.

The advertising agency is not far away, near Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood.

Half an hour later, the three arrived at their destination and entered the Tengda Advertising Company building.

At this time, a long queue of nearly a hundred people had formed inside the building.

These people were mostly women, and some of them were pushing strollers like the others.

"Wow, there are so many people! Are they all here to audition for this baby formula commercial?"

Daphne looked surprised.

"That should be the case, let's hurry and join the queue!"

Rosalie, however, was unfazed and pushed her stroller to the back of the line.

Competition in Hollywood is fierce.

Even for a minor role that allows a brief appearance in a film or television drama, countless people will compete for it.

The pay for this milk powder commercial was comparable to that of a minor role, and the filming was easier, which naturally attracted competition.

Of course, only extras like Rosalie are interested in this small amount of pay; there are no official actors competing for it.

"Hi Rosalie, I didn't expect to see you here!"

While Rosalie was in line, a Latina woman with elaborate makeup and revealing clothing walked up to her and greeted her arrogantly.

"Emily?"

Upon seeing this woman, Rosalie's face immediately darkened: "You're here to audition for this baby formula commercial too?"

Emily and Rosalie are old rivals.

The two arrived in Hollywood around the same time, and because of their similar age and appearance, they inevitably competed for the same roles frequently.

Both sides had their victories and defeats, and their resentment deepened.

Later, Emily, along with a group of her fellow Mexicans, spread rumors and slandered Rosalie, claiming that she had a relationship with a third-rate director named Andrew, which was how she got so many minor roles.

This led to the other party's wife, Una, coming to find Rosalie, and they got into an argument and a fight.

Forced by circumstances, Rosalie had no choice but to move out of her original residence and into her current cheap apartment.

With such a grudge between them, Rosalie naturally didn't give Emily a friendly look.

"Of course! The pay for this ad is so high, of course I have to give it a try."

Emily chuckled and deliberately raised her voice, "You didn't sleep with the director of this commercial and secretly snag the role, did you?"

Upon hearing Emily's words, the people who had come to audition all turned to look at Rosalie.

Upon seeing Rosalie's appearance, they clearly showed signs of wariness and worry.

"If you dare to spout nonsense in front of my son again, I'll tear your filthy mouth apart!"

Rosalie's face darkened, and she took a step forward, ready to make a move.

She might not have reacted so strongly in the past.

But now that she was a mother, she found it extremely difficult to tolerate the other party slandering her in front of Mark!

"Are you crazy?"

Emily was startled by Rosalie's strong reaction and hurriedly took two steps back.

She clearly hadn't expected Rosalie to be so irritable now, ready to resort to violence at the slightest provocation.

If the two of them make a scene here, they'll probably be kicked out by security immediately, and neither of them will be able to continue the audition.

"You're a madman!"

Emily cursed angrily and moved away from Rosalie.

Rosalie took two deep breaths before her anger gradually subsided.

Mark, lying in the stroller, squinted at Emily, who was standing behind him in line, and memorized her appearance.

After more than half a year of Rosalie's meticulous care and love, Mark has now truly accepted her as his mother.

Emily dared to slander Rosalie like that; Mark will remember this grudge!

After waiting in line for an hour, it was finally Rosalie's turn to audition.

Rosalie and Daphne, who was pushing a stroller, entered the audition room and saw two men and two women sitting behind a long table, along with some staff members around them.

Rosalie glanced at the identity plaques on the long table and quickly figured out the identities of the four people.

They were, respectively, the manager of an advertising company, the director of a filming company, and a child welfare worker.

According to US law, this milk powder advertisement requires the infant to be out of the country, and in addition to the guardian, a child welfare officer must be present.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Rosalie Payne, a professional actress who has appeared in..."

Rosalie wanted to start by introducing her resume.

"Ms. Payne! Are you auditioning for the mother role in the baby formula commercial?"

Director Caleb Bell, sitting in the middle, impatiently interrupted her self-introduction and asked directly.

"Yes, sir, I would like to audition for this role!"

Rosalie glanced at Mark in the stroller next to her and continued, "I also brought my son, hoping he could audition for the baby in the advertisement."

"Oh? You actually want to take both of these roles at once?"

Kellerb showed some interest: "Could you bring your child out so we can see him?"

Among those who came to audition, some were auditioning for the role of a mother, while others brought their children to audition for the role of an infant in the advertisement.

Rosalie is the only one who wanted to take on both roles at the same time.

Rosalie nodded and had Daphne take Mark out of the stroller.

If it were any other baby, suddenly being brought to such an unfamiliar environment, they would probably be crying loudly.

But Mark simply stayed quietly in Daphne's arms, his azure eyes surveying everyone in the room.

"Oh my goodness, this child is so beautiful!"

"So cute, he's like an angel!"

"This is truly a masterpiece of God!"

"..."

Upon seeing Mark's flawless and exquisitely handsome appearance, the staff around him immediately gasped in amazement.

The four members of the Keller group, who had been listless due to too many auditions, immediately sat up straight.

Julia Harrington, the manager of the baby formula company, looked at Mark with a gleam in her eyes: "Ms. Payne, what's your child's name? How old is he?"

Chapter Seven: Obtaining the Contract

“Ms. Harrington, his name is Mark, and he is 8 months old.”

Hearing everyone praise her son, Rosalie wore a proud expression.

She felt that she had accomplished nothing in her life, and had not made a name for herself in Hollywood for so long. The only thing she was proud of was having such a smart and lovely child as Mark.

"That's him! This angelic child is exactly what our company wants!"

Julia said with a delighted expression.

As the manager of Lisa Milk Powder Company, Julia was in charge of this advertising project, and she had the most say in it.

"Well... according to the procedure, we need to do an audition first to see if the child can cooperate with the filming."

Kellerb nodded and did not object.

He was also very satisfied with Mark's appearance.

Kellerb then checked the various documents Rosalie had brought, and then had the script handed to her.

“Ms. Payne, here is the script for the advertisement. Please take a look.”

The content of this advertisement is very simple.

Rosalie, playing the mother, prepares formula for the child and feeds it to the child.

After finishing the formula, the child clapped his hands and laughed happily.

Finally, Rosalie simply picked up the milk powder can, faced the camera, and read the advertising slogan.

What should have been a simple advertisement became more complicated to film because it required the baby to appear in the scene.

The dozens of children who auditioned before either didn't meet the requirements for appearance or simply didn't cooperate during filming.
