This woman did it on purpose.
Su Rao's professional ethics told her that as an actress, she had to accept whatever role she was given and whatever situation she was in.
However, as an enemy, Su Rao was able to keenly sense the hostility emanating from Linghu Lan.
This woman is clearly trying to take advantage of her.
She struggled to control her expression and nodded.
Linghu Lan smiled.
"Let's begin!"
"good!"
Linghu Lan immediately hunched over, as if leaning on a cane, and walked forward step by step.
Her expression was solemn, sorrowful but not painful, her eyes sharp, and a hint of weariness at the corner of her mouth.
He exuded the aura of someone who had long held a high position, yet also carried the weariness of an old man in his twilight years.
Su Rao's heart couldn't help but tremble.
For a moment, she was overwhelmed by Linghu Lan's imposing aura.
Although the person in front of me was playing an elderly man, he seemed like a butterfly about to emerge from its cocoon and be reborn.
She couldn't stop her.
The crowd gasped in surprise.
"They look so alike!"
"That's real acting!"
"How did you do that? Even though you don't have a cane, you can still feel a sense of heaviness."
"I want to become a fan."
"Don't talk, just watch!"
Linghu Lan walked to the chair, as if slowly climbing steps, her turn carrying the weight of time.
She sat down and glanced at Su Rao.
Su Rao feigned nervousness, knelt down and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects."
Linghu Lan glanced at him indifferently, without saying anything about rising.
Su Rao dared not get up and remained kneeling on the ground with her head down.
Linghu Lan glanced indifferently at her, then pretended to slowly pick up a cup of tea and drink it.
How is His Majesty's health?
"Your Majesty, His Majesty is in good health. He eats a small bowl of bird's nest porridge every morning to maintain his health, and he often thinks of Your Majesty while eating."
Linghu Lan put down her teacup, a smile playing on her lips. "You're quite thoughtful; you even remembered me when His Majesty ate."
Su Rao trembled and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty's concern for the Empress Dowager is known to everyone in the harem. I also miss the Empress Dowager and dare not forget her teachings."
Linghu Lan smiled, then snorted. "Admonition? Humph!"
Su Rao couldn't figure out what this meant for a moment, so she didn't dare to reply and muttered under her breath: "Old hag."
After criticizing her, I realized something was off. Wasn't this just praising Wei Ran's acting skills?
That's absolutely infuriating.
After another moment of silence, Linghu Lan, having gained enough leverage, calmly said, "Get up. After all, you are pregnant. Back then, Consort Lin knelt on this cold ground and lost her child. Don't follow her example."
Su Rao got up cautiously, her brows furrowed, yet her expression remained resolute. Her hand involuntarily went to her lower abdomen, as if there really was a little life there.
"stop!"
The casting director called a halt.
A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted from the crowd.
Damn it!
The acting was superb.
Linghu Lan breathed a sigh of relief, her aura as an old woman dissipated, and she transformed back into a young girl.
The casting director received a phone call and immediately made a decision: "Ms. Su has been confirmed for the role of the second female lead. Ms. Wei... please go back and wait for further notice!"
Linghu Lan: "..."
wipe!
So all that effort from the older sister was just to highlight the female lead.
I'm not convinced.
Su Rao smiled smugly, never expecting that she would actually defeat Wei Ran, the former Best Actress.
She succeeded; Wei Ran has no chance of turning things around.
There was a lot of noise around.
"Holy crap! They actually kept Su Rao? I think Wei Ran's acting was better!"
"Su Rao is more famous. If you were the director, who would you choose?"
