Chapter 125 - Interview (2) (2/2)
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.'
