Chapter 3348 Judges Are Impressed
The audition was divided into three parts and lasted for three minutes in total. In other words, Megan only had one minute for each script. She recomposed her emotions quickly as she entered the second phase with the second script.
Compared to the first part, the character wasn’t as innocent and naive. Instead, she looked like a royal concubine who was nonchalant and aloof.
Megan understood that the character had such feelings because not only she couldn’t be with her loved one, but the emperor didn’t love her as well.
Reeling in her innocent look, her face darkened while the atmosphere became sullen.
The judges downstage were shocked to see how Megan changed her emotions quickly but smoothly. Even some of the judges, who initially looked down on her, were now paying attention so they would not miss any of her performance.
Meanwhile, Megan seemed to have completely immersed herself in the female character. She cared no more about her performance and fully committed herself to the process.
Recalling the scenes, she subconsciously put her hands near her waist; her gaze turning cold. Tears seemed to have begun to well up in her eyes, yet she tried her best to keep her composure, leaving only a minuscule of emotions to seep through.
After a while, she said calmly, “To me, love exists no more.”
It was a simple line, and yet, the judges were stunned by the layers of emotions expressed by Megan.
She was standing on a modern stage without any props—there were neither traditional houses with carved beams nor gorgeous silk dresses. Yet, the moment Megan sighed, everyone felt they had traveled back in time.
It was as though a royal concubine, who was cold but pretended to be strong, stood right in front of them. Gazing at the birds on the wall, she resisted the sorrow and loneliness and convinced herself that love was nothing but nihility.
Everyone was at a loss, for they didn’t expect to witness such a superb performance by a new actress who came here through connections.
Instantly, one of the judges stood up and asked Megan to stop acting. After all, they had already decided on the new female lead.
Once her acting was interrupted, Megan stood still on the stage and felt confused. Some said that she didn’t have to carry on, whereas others wanted to continue watching it.
It appeared that the judges had some disagreement among themselves about her act.
As for Megan, she wasn’t sure what she had to do on stage. Since the judges were arguing with one another, she said helplessly, “Should I go on?”
The judges fell silent upon hearing it. The next moment, one of them grabbed the microphone and stood up. Her expression was serious and she flashed Megan a piercing gaze before instructing, “Go on. We treat every participant as equal. Be quick as you’ve already wasted a few minutes of the following participants.”
Megan couldn’t understand what was on their minds. Nevertheless, she had to carry on because they permitted it.
“Alright, I’ll start with the third part, then.”
Gazing at the judges who were still arguing, she nodded slightly and smiled. Immediately, she recalled the third script and immersed herself in the scene.
The third part was entirely different. The story tells of how the female character gave up on romance and became the queen.
She had the happiest and most carefree life after becoming the royal concubine. Hence, the historians recorded her biographical history with the title “The Royal Wife,” which became the title of the TV series today.
Megan’s acting was still as impressive, while the sense of mercilessness exuded from her eyes was extremely menacing. Seeing that, all of the judges downstage felt that she was the best compared to those who auditioned earlier.
“Is your name Megan?”
One of the judges picked up her resume. Apparently, the name didn’t ring a bell to the judge at all.
