My Rich Hot and Infertile Husband (Celeste and Liam) novel Chapter 165

The challenge of this scene was that the queen still appeared gentle and well-mannered in front of everyone. She couldn't be too exaggerated in her performance, or her true identity would be revealed too soon. At the same time, she needed to leave subtle hints for the audience to feel a sense of horror when her true intentions were later revealed.

The queen was one of the most brilliant characters in the play. On one hand, she endured the pain of sharing her husband with other women. On the other hand, she had to show the grace of a queen, not losing her composure even when facing the pain of losing a child.

Always mindful of her duty as a mother to the kingdom, the queen numbed herself with the king's emotionless love, carefully restraining her own feelings. However, when she discovered that the king had fallen in love with the heroine, her long-held beliefs crumbled, and hatred born from betrayal surged in her heart.

This love-hate relationship was the greatest charm of the character.

Celeste took a deep breath and instantly got into character.

As soon as she began, those who had been playing with their phones suddenly stopped and looked at her.

Celeste was completely immersed in the role. Her every move was so natural that, even without props, you could tell what she was doing.

Her lines were clear and her emotions were just right. Particularly in the details, her smile while coaxing the prince to sleep was increasingly chilling.

However, until knowing she was the antagonist, her smile seemed perfectly normal.

After her performance, the room was silent.

Zach said, "Let's hear your thoughts."

Everyone exchanged glances before letting the assistant director share his opinion.

The assistant director said, "Her performance was not bad, but the actress might be a bit too young to handle such a role."

Zach rested his thumb on his chin, deep in thought.

Celeste's lines were nearly flawless, from pronunciation and intonation to the handling of emotional intensity. She even showed greater depth in the details than the original actress.

But obviously, Celeste wasn't the ideal candidate in these people's minds.

Someone said, "I just checked her resume, and there's no work experience at all. It's a bit risky to let a newbie with no experience play such an important role, isn't it?"

At this point, Lorinda also chimed in, "Mr. Miller, this role is almost as important as the female lead. I don't think it's quite right to have someone so green play this crucial role."

Zach glanced at her and asked, "So do you have a better suggestion?"

Lorinda immediately replied, "Sydney. We've worked together before, and she's got decent acting chops, plus a decent fan base. She's also really interested in the role. Maybe we could give her a shot?"
