Xie Ming closed her eyes to get the same feeling she felt at that time.
Seeing her closed eyes, all the judges looked at her in surprise. They noticed how her expressions changed while her eyes were closed.
Then Mr Han, gave her the queue, " Okay, ready. 1.. 2... and action"
With Mr. Han's queue, Xie Ming's opened her eyes and her expressions changed.
Her were filled with the emotion of happiness and excitement to see the Emperor. But one could also see the longing in her eyes.
Her eyes were glistening with the brightness and there was a subtle smile on her face. She was nervous to see him after so long. She slightly clutched her dress in nervousness.
She was looking straight in the direction, towards the camera she was asked to look at.
The same scenario was playing in her mind when she was waiting for the emperor. Seeing her expression, Mr Han and Su was pleased. Her expressions were exactly like they had wanted.
And? Wu sheng was also looking at her in surprise. It's very hard for a newcomer to act like that. The writer was also looking at Xie Ming with amusement.
Then Mr Han said, " Now you noticed the Emperor but also saw the girl on the same horse with him".
Hearing this Xie Ming's expressions changed. The light shone in her eyes dimmed when she imagined the scenario.
It was the same expression when she saw Ji Cheng coming from afar. But her expressions changed when she imagined Xiao Li coming with him as well. They feeling of sadness was apparent on her face.
As the name of the consort is also Xiao Li she felt more real in this scenario.
Her smile faded away, she pursed her lips tightly. Her palms turned into a fist. Her eyes were cold and aloof. But there was no anger in them instead it was filled with sadness and dejection in it.
She waited for him for so long, she wanted his attention, his love but he gave everything to someone else.
The directors looked at Xie Ming's expressions and smiled slightly.
But Wu Sheng was quite worried. Seeing Xie Ming's expression, he didn't see anger in her eyes. Instead, it was blank but somewhat sad.
He thought that she would fail as the anger in this scene is the key point.
...
At this moment, Mr Han said, " Cut. Very well." he said while clapping.
Mr Su and the writer followed the suit and clapped while smiling.
Wu Sheng looked at them in bewilderment. He didn't expect this reaction.
Xie Ming came out of her imagination by Mr Han's voice. She looked at him and tried to calm her emotions.
She took a deep breath and then showed her perfect smile on her face.
Then she heard Mr Han saying, " Ms. Xie Ming, how did you act this scene. I mean generally, people would show anger in their expressions when they were told to notice Xiao Li.
But your face was blank. There were no emotions. Instead, there was only sadness in your eyes. Will you please tell us what were you thinking while performing this scene. ? " he asked Xie Ming.
Xie Ming looked at him and smiled.
' What she was thinking? She had experienced all this first handed. How can she not act this out. ' she snickered inwardly.
She then said, " Ahm, nothing much. I just imagined myself in place of the Empress. I acted out what would I feel if I was in the position of the Empress." she said casually.
It's true though.
Both directors looked at her nonchalant behavior and chuckled.
The most important thing in the acting is to place themselves at the place of the role they are playing. That is the most difficult thing to do, to be into the character.
But she said it as it was very casual.
Impressed by her words and acting, Mr Han said, " Very well. Ms Xie, I liked your thoughts and your performance. We will be glad to work with you."
He stood up from his chair walked up to her and said, " Ms. Xie, congratulations. You're selected." he said while stretching his hand for a handshake.
Xie Ming looked at Mr. Han and she hesitated for a minute. Then she smiled and shook his hand politely.
Then Mr Su also stood up smiling and walked to Mr Han and patted on his shoulder and said, " So you finally got your Empress." he said while smiling.
Mr Han looked at Xie Ming and smiled, " Yes. Finally." he said gleefully.
Wu Sheng also walked up to them and asked Xie Ming, " Ms Xie, are you under any company yet. Do you have a manager to talk about the contract and stuff?" he asked politely.
They know that she is a newbie so she might not be under any company.
But Xie Ming said, " Ahh, about that. I may sign under a company soon. So till then, you can talk with me about the formalities." she said smiling awkwardly.
She doesn't know if she is under the Global world or not. Tang Nian promised her to take her in after she passed the audition but right now it was not sure, so she can't say anything carelessly.
Director Han nodded and said, " Okay. So I have your form and will contact you about the signing of the contract. My assistant will give you a call, so relax till then" he said while smiling.
Xie Ming nodded and went outside.
Before she could come out, the girl from the staff has already told other contestants that the auditions were over.
Outside the room, Qin Jia was waiting with her manager.
She just came up as her manager told her that it was her turn soon. She didn't know that Xie Ming was inside.
When he heard that the auditions were over, she scowled. She was an A grade actress. ?They should be glad that she came for an audition. But she didn't even get a chance to give an audition.
She angrily walked up to the girl in black and shouted, " The auditions over? How could that be? I didn't even get to perform yet and you're saying that auditions are over?" she snickered.
She always thought that she is the best actress and no one can perform this role better than her.
And moreover, it's just a second lead role, nothing too complicated. It was very easy for her. She was giving them face by coming to the audition for this small role but now she was informed that auditions are over.
Hah. What a crappy situation is.
