Chapter 315 - Script reading ( 2 ) (1/2)

Yuan Lei was glad that he complimented her. She smiled and gave Xie Ming a smug look as she was challenging her.

She wanted to see her acting as well because she hated the way Xie Ming tried to look perfect all the time. She wanted to see how good she acts that she surpassed other actresses and grab this role without any support or underhanded activities.

” Now Xie Ming, it's your turn. Look at the script and act out the scene. You just need to relax and don't be nervous okay. Also, imagine yourself as the Empress and perform it as you would perform in front of the camera.” he looked at Xie Ming while saying this.

He was talking to her in a low gentle voice because he does not want to scare her and it was her first time acting and reading her script with everyone. He does not want to feel nervous and wanted to see the same incredible performance that he has seen at the auditions.

Xie Ming straightened her back and nodded while listening to his instructions. She looked down at her dialogues with serious expressions while Yuan Lei was smiling mockingly seeing Xie Ming looking all serious.

For her, Xie Ming was a girl with no talent and has got this role with someone's support only. So she was waiting for her to make a joke of herself in front of everyone. And she is not magnanimous enough to leave her like this.

She wanted to show her that she can't act better than her.

….

” So in this scene, you will argue with you and Wu Sheng. In this scene, you need to portray your anger and pain at the same time. You can do it right?” Mr. Han looked at Xie Ming seriously and asked her in a low voice.

Xie Ming looked at him without smiling and nodded her head.

Mr. Han smiled seeing her stern expressions. She has already prepared herself to act in this scene.

' Very good.' he always liked people who are serious towards their work and always take the script readings seriously. Because it shows how they will going to act during the shooting and how he as a director can help them improve their acting and talent.

” Action. ” he signaled her with his hand for her to start.

Her expressions suddenly changed as she turned to look at Wu Sheng and stared at him for a while with her stern expressions with her eyes watery, ” Does his highness think that I am cruel?”

” His Highness, why do you think that I would be fine when you brought that bitch into the palace? You married so many princesses earlier and I didn't say anything but why she?” she shouted as she looked at Wu Sheng by her side.

” Meng Huang, mind your language. How can you speak so crudely? You're the Empress, can't you behave like one?” he lashed out at her listening to her foul words. Wu Sheng also got into the character because of her Xie Ming's incredible acting which made him feel like he is truly an Emperor.

Moreover, he is an experienced actor, so it's not a big deal for him. But he was surprised to see Xie Ming in this light.

Xie Ming stared at him and didn't care about his shouting and continued, ” She was not even a princess. You said that you only love me. You said that I will be your only love. You said that you will not love anyone as you do me. Was that all a lie?” her voice started trembling as her eyes welled up with tears.

Wu Sheng who was looking at Xie Ming was startled seeing the change in her expressions. He has never expected her to start crying for real.

Generally, actresses used glycerine for crying but she was crying without it.

But he kept his composure and continued,”  Meng Huang aren't you being childish. You know that I care about you. We were childhood friends when our marriage got fixed, I was so happy back then. I always treated you well and let you do whatever you wanted”

” You're my closest friend and my first wife. You will always be the Empress. Nobody can take your position as Empress so don't be this way. Duan Lan is a very pitiful girl. She lost her family and has no one except me. So stop being so cruel to that little girl. ” he tried to reason out with her.

Director Han was surprised to see Xie Ming act this way. He loved the way they both were acting. He can finally be seeing his characters coming into life.

' It was right for me to choose her.'

Xie Ming scoffed in ridicule while wiping her tears from her eyes.
