Chapter 125 - Interview (2)
The way Xie Ming made her way to the center of the room, all four people in the room were staring at her in a daze.
Even the veteran director Mr. Su raised his eyebrows seeing the way Xie Ming walked.
He has seen many actresses who are beautiful and elegant. It was not too surprising.
But the way she walked and behaved, looked like it was all-natural for her. She does not look like, she was forcing to be elegant or what.
She was looking just the way she is.
...
When Xie Ming has read the script, she realized that this movie was based in an ancient time.
This was the reason that she was interested to work in this movie. Though she has adjusted quite well in this world, but she still feels uncomfortable in this unfamiliar place.
She misses her ancient vibes. And this movie will make her feel the same vibes, be it fake or for only some time but she could get the same feel like before.
And moreover, the role of the second female lead in the movie is of the Empress. Yes. The Empress.
And who could play the role of the Empress better than the real Empress.
The story is about the love story between the Emperor and the girl named Xiao Li, whom he married against his mother\'s choice. The new consort of the Emperor belongs from the low background that\'s why Empress Dowgar opposed this marriage.
Otherwise, having consorts and many wives was very common in ancient times. They will get married for matrimonial alliance purposes or others.
But the fact that this marriage didn\'t benefit the Emperor, was the reason that Empress Dowager was against it. This was also the same reason why the Ji Cheng\'s mother never liked Zhao Ming.
In the movie, the role of the second female lead was of the Empress and the first wife of the Emperor. She was favored by the Empress Dowager and she even treats her like her daughter.
She has loved the Emperor for her whole life. She managed the harem and every duty of being the Empress.
But once when the Emperor went on a war, he met the girl named Xiao Li, she was hardworking, beautiful and she was the daughter of a farmer.
Emperor met her when they were returning from the war, he fell in love with her when he saw her for the first time. He saved her from being sold to a rich fat merchant as a slave. He saved her and brought her with him to the palace.
When he came back from the war, he brought Xiao Li with her to the palace.
He loved her, he wanted to protect her and care for her. And Empress Dowgar rejects this marriage but he doesn\'t care about her opinion.
On the other side, the Empress who was eagerly waiting for the Emperor to come back, her face fell seeing another girl with him.
Though there were other consorts too of the Emperor but she never felt the same as before.
Because the way he looks at Xiao Li was different from the way he looks at her.
He looked at Xiao Li with love in his eyes, but when he looks at the Empress, he looked as he respects her or admire her, but there was no love in his eyes.
In the first half of the movie the role of the second female lead, the Empress was supportive and loving.
But with the entry of the Xiao Li in the palace, her character became negative. She played many tricks on the poor and weak girl. She humiliated her in front of many people.
The Emperor fought with her for being unreasonable. In the end, he took Xiao Li as his consort.
Whenever he spent time with Xiao Li, the Empress felt jealous and anger fuming in her. She tried to frame Xiao Li many times. She humiliated her, made her life hell.
When the Emperor got to know all the tricks that the Empress has played, he punished her by sending her to the cold Palace.
There she took the poison and killed herself. After that, the Emperor and Xiao Li lived happily.
...
This was the story of the movie. That\'s why when Xie Ming read the script she felt that it was too similar to her own story.
The only different thing was that she was the antagonist here. She wanted to play this role because she wanted to also feel the feeling of being a Villain.
In her past life, she was only being framed and bullied now she wants to experience the same. Though it\'s an act only.
It may feel creepy to many, but to her, it\'s a way to empty her grievances. She wants to remove all the grudges from the past and want to live a new life with Liwei.
And to do that, she needs to remove the hatred towards Xiao Li from her heart too.
The story was very similar to her past life. She was the Empress, the person she loved the most was the Emperor who got married to a girl named Xiao Li. Even the name of the consort was the same.
She died to let them enjoy their life happily.
The only difference was that the Empress Dowager loved and supported her while loathed the new consort Xiao Li.?And in this story, she will get a chance to get even with Xiao Li. She can torture her as she was playing the antagonist.
This role needs much attention and concentration. The emotions are very complex.?The actress needs to have a grasp of their emotions so that they could deliver the best scene.
....
Seeing the elegant and well mannered Xie Ming, the directors nodded as they were pleased by her.
Then Mr Han, said, " please introduce yourself." he said politely.
At this behavior of his, the other three people looked at him with their amused gazes.
Through the whole audition, this was the first time he was asking someone to introduce themselves. And that too with such gentleness in his voice.
The director Mr. Su chuckled seeing the childish behavior of Mr. Han.
Xie Ming looked at Mr. Han and smiled.
Seeing Xie Ming\'s bright smile, Mr Han. thought, \' This is it. If she could act well then she is perfect for the second lead role.\'
