Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 304 - It Was My Luck. (EDITED)

Xie Ming looked at Zhang Wei with displeased expressions.

She felt that Zhang Wei's question was out of the line.

Though she laughed after saying such words, making it look like a harmful joke, however, Xie Ming could see her thinking behind these words.

Zhang Wei thought that Xie Ming had entered the industry with some immoral relations or maybe the casting couch, that's why she thought that Xie Ming would panic when she would ask this question in front of others and would not be able to retort her words properly.

If she shouted at her, then she was planning to make her look crazy and thinking too much. Moreover, if she started overreacting, then it will be proved if she came from a casting couch.

Xie Ming was unaware of his thought and looked at her with displeased expression and said, " Ms. Zhang, I do have some skills that's why I got this role. Otherwise, how can I get selected in my very first audition?" Xie Ming looked at her with an expression saying, ' Isn't it obvious?'

" If I was not especially then I wouldn't be in his movie. In this movie, every single role is equally important like this one. Mine role isn't even of the female lead. I am just a second female lead and that too antagonist in the movie. Maybe Mr. Han thought I could play this role better than others and that's why I selected me." she shrugged her shoulders casually.

" Ms. Zhang, not everyone needs to struggle to get casted in Mr. Han's movie. I am just lucky to get selected after my first audition. Maybe he finds something in me that he didn't get in others. " she said calmly.

She didn't say anything wrong. She was really lucky that Mr. Han cast her as the second female lead.

She didn't have any intention to work in the entertainment industry and if Tang Nian hadn't encouraged her to take this audition, then she wouldn't be sitting here.

Zhang Wei was taken back when she heard Xie Ming's words. She thought that she would panic and deny that she came here because of her efforts and she has also struggled to reach here.

But she outrightly said that she was lucky and Mr. Han might have seen something in her that she got this role which other actresses didn't get.

And she was also one of those actresses.

' Is she saying that she got this role because she is more talented than me and Mr. Han chose her not me?' Zhang Wei misinterpreted her words and started thinking unreasonably.

Whereas, Xu Lan was impressed with Xie Ming's words. If she hasn't given an appropriate answer to Zhang Wei's question then other actors may think that she came from the back door and has some relationship with Mr. Han.

Though it's not the first time that directors were named with actresses and the newspapers are filled with this news these days.

But Mr. Han has never got into any scandal with any actresses because people know about his personality and talent and no one dares to mess with him.

Xu Lan didn't like the way Zhang Wei asked her this question. She is her senior and she has no sense and asking her this question in front of everyone.

What if someone misunderstands and because of this Xie Ming has to face problems?

She wanted to speak up but before she could say anything, a male raspy voice could be heard.

Wu Sheng also looked at Zhang Wei with displeased expressions. He didn't like the way Zhang Wei asked Xie Ming this question.

" Xie Ming is wrong ." Wu Sheng turned to Xie Ming with firm expressions and his brows were frowning.

Everyone turned to look at him when he said these words. Even Xu Lan was also speechless.

' What is he trying to say?' Xu Lan furrowed her brows seeing him like this.

Zhang Wei's smile grew wider seeing him supporting her and saying Xie Ming wrong.

" Xie Ming, you're wrong to say that you got this role because you were lucky. You didn't get this role just because of your luck or any other thing but because you are talented," he said with affirmation.

Zhang Wei looked at him with displeased expressions. Her lips twitched when she heard his words.

" Wu Sheng is right. How can you be just lucky and get this role? You must be talented enough that your acting moved Mr. Han's heart." she pursed her lips as she said to Xie Ming.

" Because many actresses auditioned for this role and got rejected. Maybe they were not good enough and were surpassed by a newbie. "

" They should learn from the new generation as they can do anything to get the role and reach heights in their career," she said with a forced smile.

Though her words do not seem like she was saying anything wrong but Xie Ming and Wu Sheng understood the meaning behind her words clearly.

Even Xu Lan also frowned when she heard her words. She doesn't understand why Zhang Wei was doing all this.

She is a senior to Xie Ming and Xie Ming has never seen her before then why she keeps picking on her.

"I know why Mr. Han cast Xie Ming for the role of Empress. I was also present at her audition." Wu Sheng couldn't take it anymore and speak in support of Xie Ming.

"I had seen many actresses even the experienced actresses couldn't grasp the character well." he looked into Zhang Wei's eyes with a glint of mocking in them.

" They didn't have the elegance and aura that our Empress should have. Moreover, the role of Empress is very complicated because she is the antagonist in the movie but if her character and emotions portrayed right, then people would feel pity and have sympathy for her. "

" Only Xie Ming understood this part and portrayed the emotions very well. I was equally shocked when I figured out that Xie Ming is a newbie. "

" How can she understand the character well? Everyone portrayed anger and crazy behavior while auditioning. But it was only Xie Ming who showed the helplessness and sorrow of the Empress. "

" The Empress was not a bad person but circumstances make her into a bad one. Xie Ming is perfect to show the growth of the character. That's why Mr. Han cast her. " he said with confidence in his words.

Everyone nodded his head hearing his words.

" Seeing her audition, I couldn't believe she never studied or had done acting before. It seems that she is naturally talented. " he smiled at Xie Ming after saying his words.

He was indeed surprised and shocked to know that Xie Ming has never acted before and it was her first audition.

He has never seen acted before that too without any experience and learning. She has even surpassed all the actresses who have passed the acting universities and was acting from years.

She managed to pass? Mr. Han's audition in a single chance.

…..

Zhang Wei's expressions turned sour seeing Wu Sheng praising her so much.

She has never seen him praising anyone like this before. She bit her lower lip and tried to hide her displeasure.

" You're right. Xie Ming, I am sorry, I didn't mean to say it like this. I was just saying that you must be talented, that's why Mr. Han cast you. Please don't take my words otherwise." she pursed her lips and forced a smile.

Xie Ming pursed her lips and looked at Zheng Wei. She felt that she was not sincere and just apologizing on the surface.

She forced a smile as well and said politely," It's okay. I didn't mind your words. And it was true indeed. I didn't struggle either, it was not my dream to become an actress from the start. It was just my luck that I stumbled onto this role. It must be all fate." she said with a genuine smile.

She believed it was her fate that brought her to act into this role. This role was of the Empress and with this role, she can also learn to grow as a person and will become financially independent of herself. historical

Though she is not short of anything but the feeling of being financially self-dependent is something else. This gives one a sense of pride and confidence, which she didn't get to experience in her last life.
