Sheng Yu raised an eyebrow. "What? It's not allowed?"
"Alright, alright, it's not easy for a top actor like Shengda to take the initiative to perform, and we're actually lucky to have this opportunity today!" Director Li teased.
Sheng Yu got up and walked over to Su Chen, patting her on the shoulder. But to his surprise, Su Chen turned around to see a face covered in tears. Sheng Yu was taken aback and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Su Chen slowly knelt down, "Your Majesty, please allow me to leave the palace!" She bowed down while crying.
Sheng Yu then realized that Su Chen was acting, and his expression instantly changed, turning into a heartbroken look. "Fu Rong, are you really that unwilling to stay by my side?"
Su Chen slowly raised her head, her eyes red and her body trembling, and stubbornly said, "I don't want to!"
"Fine! Fine, fine... I've misplaced my affection! Do you know how difficult it is for the royal family to have such a heart! Yet you've crushed it, thrown it on the ground, and trampled it under your feet!" Sheng Yu's voice was perfectly controlled, vividly portraying the image of a heartbroken and humiliated emperor.
Everyone present was stunned, as if they were witnessing a true farewell scene.
“Your Majesty, I love you, but… but I love freedom even more…” Su Chen’s eyes turned from sorrow to blankness, even giving off a feeling of being trapped in a cage.
"No! You don't love me at all!" Sheng Yu gradually descended into madness. "You know nothing! You understand nothing! Leave! I grant your permission! Go! Get out!"
"Thank you for granting my request, Your Majesty." Su Chen knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times before leaning against the wall and staggering to her feet and walking away.
Sheng Yu watched her retreating figure, tears welling in his eyes. He turned his back to her, and only then did a single tear fall.
Everyone was stunned, and it took them almost a minute to snap out of the scene.
"Great! Excellent!" Director Li stood up and clapped, and the people around him joined in.
"The Best Actor award goes without saying, his performance was superb. I didn't expect this little girl to be so confident in front of him, and to perform so well! You really can't tell she's never acted before!" Director Li rarely praises people, but this young girl really made him look at her in a new light.
"Director Li, you flatter me." Su Chen took the tissue Sheng Yu handed her and wiped away her tears.
"But didn't you say you were going to act out 'Hibiscus's' death? Why did you actually act out the 'Farewell to My Beloved' scene?" Director Li didn't understand.
Su Chen explained respectfully, "Director Li, it's like this. My understanding is that this scene determines that 'Fu Rong' will definitely die, or rather, her heart is already dead at this moment. That's why I said that I was acting out the death of 'Fu Rong'."
"Hmm, not bad, this actor has thoroughly grasped the character." Director Li nodded in satisfaction. "Tell the people who came for the interviews to call it a day, 'Hibiscus' is the one."
Su Chen quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Director."
Director Li smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's wait for the notification before the fitting. It should be fine; it's quite similar to 'Hibiscus's' style."
Su Chen left happily after receiving the offer.
Sheng Yu also seemed rather uninterested as he bid farewell to the director and his group, then went outside, covering himself up completely, to catch up with Su Chen.
"You did a great job today, you scared me," Sheng Yu said as he caught up with Su Chen.
"Scared?" Su Chen heard this in a completely different light. "Was my acting that bad? Didn't Director Li say it was good?"
"No, you acted so well. When you turned your head, I thought you were really crying because you were anxious. I didn't expect you to be so into the role." Sheng Yu said that Su Chen really gave him a surprise today.
