With the lead actress for "High School Musical" selected, Wang Yang was in a great mood, and he continued with the casting of the other roles over the next few days. What he did not know was that Jessica had been refusing Miranda's persuasion every day and finally lost her temper, which made Miranda feel both helpless and disappointed, eventually stopping her attempts to persuade.
A few days later, the lead actress for "Idle Hands" was determined, and Eliza Dushku was chosen. As for several important roles in "High School Musical," the selections came out one after another. "Sharpay Evans" was played by Rachel who was very fitting in appearance, and even more so in her mature performances. Unlike the naturalistic acting in "Paranormal Activity," "Sharpay Evans" required a slightly exaggerated theatrical performance. Being a drama student, this was exactly what Rachel wanted. In front of the camera, she was in her element and fully captured the essence of the character.
