Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 126 - Interview ( 3 )

When Xie Ming was told to do the self-introduction, she felt nervous. Her palms got sweaty.

She took a deep breath and smiled at the judges.

Then she started, " Hello everyone, I am Xie Ming. I have studied business abroad and I don't have any experience in acting. But recently someone told me that I should try in acting as I will suit this industry better." she said with a subtle smile on her face. She doesn't want to lie that she wanted to become an actor or it's her dream whatsoever.

She continued, " At that time, I was told that there was an audition for Mr. Han's movie and the script was given to me to try for this role. At first, I was not interested but..." she paused in her words.

Mr. Han felt bad as she was not an actress but he wants to hear the whole story of her for some odd reason. The expression on her face while speaking, enchanted him. he felt like he was looking at the Empress, which is in the movie.

Though she was speaking normally but the way she stood there, her hands in front of her in an elegant manner, her posture was straight and elegant. She looked like a royalty standing there.

Then she continued, " At first I was not interested but...when I read the script, I felt like I want to perform in this movie. I don't know about acting but I am sure I fit this role better than anyone in this world." she smiled as she completed her words.

Everyone was stunned hearing her words. No one has shown this kind of confidence when coming for an interview.

It was a very bold statement. If she didn't perform well, she will be utterly humiliated as she made such big statements before.

Hearing her boasting. Mr Han's eyebrows raised. He wanted to see how good she could act. historical

On the other side, Xie Ming was thinking, ' If I am not fit to be an Empress, then who is fit to be an Empress? She was the real Empress. They should be happy that the real Empress came to them for the role of an Empress. Now the real Empress has to act as an Empress.'

How ironic!!

Mr. Su looked at Xie Ming and said, " Then Ms. Xie Ming, please show us something. We will give you a scene and then you can perform. We will decide if you fit to be an Empress or not after seeing your performance." he said calmly.

Xie Ming smiled at him and nodded.

Mr. Han started giving the scenario to Xie Ming, " So Ms. Xie Ming here the scene.

' You're waiting at the Palace gate, to welcome the Emperor who was coming back after three months long from a war. They won the battle and everyone was waiting for him to welcome him.'

' You already got the news of his arrival that he was near to the palace. You were waiting for him. When you saw him from afar, you were happy and excited but then you noticed a girl sitting on the same horse with him as well.

' You realized that the girl was wearing the locket of the Emperor. The locket was very dear to him, even you never touched it but the girl was wearing it. You realized that they were very close'

Now show me how will you act this scene. If you need anything to act this scene than please tell me." Mr Han said to Xie Ming.

Hearing the scenario, even the director Su was stunned. This was the most difficult and complicated scene of the whole movie. It needs to show emotions through their expressions only. It has no dialogues.

He had given this scene to a few A-grade actresses, but they all failed. They either throw daggers from their eyes or starts crying. But the scene was not that simple.

And Xie Ming was just an inexperienced newcomer, so it's too cruel for her. Everyone felt this, but no one spoke.

..

Xie Ming heard the scenario and she nodded. She not only heard the scenario, she even compare it to her situation in the past. She looked at the judges and took a deep breath.

She closed her eyes when he heard Mr Han saying," Ready, 1..2...and action." he said while gesturing his hands to her to start.

When Xie Ming closed her eyes, she remembered the scene when she was waiting for the Ji Cheng to come back after winning the battle. She was happy and eagerly waiting for him.

When they went to the Palace gate to welcome him, there were other people from the village as well.

Everyone was gathered to welcome the Emperor and to celebrate their victory over the enemies.

She stood at the entrance to get a glimpse of the Emperor, then she saw his horse in the mid of the crowd. Her smile grew wider.

She waited for him for this whole while. After their marriage, he went on the battle only after a few days. She lived in the palace without him, bearing the scolding from her mother in law.

But now he is back.

When she was looking at him, her eyes went on the side, she saw few soldiers were carrying a royal carrier. Someone was sitting inside it. Few maids and other people were also following it.

She don't know who was sitting in the carrier, but she understood that it was a carrier for a bride.

Her face fell because of it. They married only a few months back but now he brought his consort. Though she knows that this day will come someday but she never thought that it would come this early.

And the scenario given to her was similar to it. She closed her eyes to feel the same feeling that she felt at that time.
