"Princess, please take His Majesty away! We can't resist for long." A staff member on the side helped recite other people's lines, and there was no emotion in his voice.

But Ning Chaoyan was not affected at all and was still immersed in Jiang Xiao's world.

Jiang Xiao swung his sword again and again, as if he was killing an invading enemy. His movements were decisive and without any hesitation.

Her eyes were firm and her voice was cold, "There are no deserters in the royal family of the Jiang Dynasty."

There were more and more enemies. Jiang Xiao swung her sword mechanically and blocked the attacks. Her expression gradually became cold, her eyes became numb, and her strength was consumed bit by bit.

Her movements became slower and slower, and there were several wounds on her body, bleeding profusely, but she was still trying to hold on.

It was as if there was an invisible force supporting her and preventing her from falling.

However, there are not so many miracles in the world. Her body was pierced by a spear and she was surrounded by the enemy.

Jiang Xiao used the spear that pierced her body and the sword in her hand to support herself and prevent herself from falling.

She used her last bit of strength to turn around and look at the towering palace where she was born and raised.

There is her home, her family, and all the happiness and joy in her memory.

At this moment, she opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't have the strength to say it.

Her eyes carried so much: anger, reluctance, sadness, helplessness, and a bit of relief.

She was a princess of the Jiang Dynasty who was born at dawn, but ultimately she failed to lead the Jiang Dynasty out of darkness and fell before dawn.

A tear rolled down her cheek, as if taking away her last bit of life.

Her body still did not fall, but there was no light in her eyes, just like this ancient dynasty, which, although unwilling, finally came to an end.

............

"Not bad." Director Zou nodded with satisfaction and was the first to lead the applause.

Unexpectedly, the first actor who made him feel the vitality of this role was an idol who had never acted before.

Although still a bit immature, he was able to show the changes in emotions and plot with subtle facial expressions and body language.

Of course, what is most touching is the look in his eyes when he looked back at the end. It is complex yet clear, as if all the words are in that look.

Sure enough, inertial thinking is not advisable.

Not every idol treats acting like a joke.

There are also people like Ning Chaoyan who are smart and talented.

Xu Huizhou and several other judges also applauded.

Ning Chaoyan came back to her senses when she heard the applause, and there was light in her eyes again.

"What is your understanding of the character of Jiang Xiao?" Director Zou asked suddenly.

Ning Chaoyan pondered for a moment and answered seriously, "I think Jiang Xiao is actually a bit contradictory.

On the one hand, because of her innate mission, the environment she grew up in, the teachings of those around her, and the love and expectations that Emperor Jiang gave her, she was willing to devote her life to the declining Jiang Dynasty.

But on the other hand, I think she actually longs for freedom. Every step of her life is bound by her identity as the only princess of the Jiang Dynasty. She has never been able to decide her own life. She would release injured birds within the palace walls, and would appreciate the mountains and lakes of nature when resting during the march.

However, morality and sense of responsibility suppressed her desire for freedom.

So at the last moment of her life, in addition to the sadness and anger of her country’s destruction and her family’s demise, she actually felt a sense of relief from the shackles of fate. This is my superficial understanding of this character.”

Director Zou and the middle-aged woman next to him looked at each other and saw satisfaction in each other's eyes.

Director Zou's eyes were filled with appreciation, and his tone became softer than the initial coldness. "Thank you for your thinking and interpretation of this role. The audition result will be sent to your agent's email within 24 hours. Please tell her to check it."

Pay attention, does this mean there is hope? Ning Chaoyan couldn't help but secretly look at Xu Huizhou.

Xu Huizhou nodded at her gently.

After receiving the signal, Ning Chaoyan couldn't help but let out a silly smile, bowed 90 degrees and said in thanks, "Thank you, teachers."

Then, unable to contain his excitement, he skipped out of the audition room.

When Gu Wei saw Ning Chaoyan jumping up and down and laughing foolishly, he knew that she must have performed well today, at least she did not get scolded.

When the other auditionees saw this scene, they felt a jolt in their hearts and had a bad feeling.

In the audition room, the middle-aged woman sitting next to Director Zou, Zhou Miao, the screenwriter of Imperial Power, watched Ning Chaoyan leave happily with a smile in her eyes, and then teased Xu Huizhou, "This girl looks a bit like you back then, full of spirit."

"That's right, why didn't you tell me about such a good seedling earlier?" Director Zou also said.

If you had told him earlier, you wouldn't have to go through the trouble of terminating the contract and auditioning again. You could have decided on the candidate in one go.

Xu Huizhou replied with a smile, "When we were casting for this drama, my junior sister was still in a talent show. It was a completely closed-door filming. I haven't even seen her formally yet, so how can I recommend her to you?"

Director Zou disagreed and said, "Why is such a talented actor participating in a talent show? Why don't you persuade Gu Wei? Although every profession is equal, idols are young after all, and actors are different. As long as you are good at acting, you can still act at the age of 70."

Xu Huizhou: "That's the truth, so I recommended people to you as soon as I had the chance. Learning in your crew is better than taking a hundred classes outside."

"That is."

Director Zou was somewhat proud, as few people who left his crew failed to praise him.

Xu Huizhou was secretly shocked. Given your pickiness, anyone who could successfully graduate from your hands must have made great progress.

Even when he first worked with Director Zou, he suffered a lot.

Director Zou called out “Cut” so many times that Xu Huizhou started to doubt himself and wondered if he was suited to this path.

However, Director Zou is only nitpicking on the set, but that is for the quality of the work and is definitely not directed at any particular person.

In private, Director Zou is a very caring person.

If he thinks an actor is good, he will recommend the actor to a director he is familiar with and speak well of him.

Including the subsequent resources Xu Huizhou received after filming Director Zou's movie, many of them were also due to Director Zou's strong recommendation.

It can be said that Director Zou has made an indispensable contribution to Xu Huizhou’s current achievements.

So when such an opportunity came, Xu Huizhou immediately thought of his own Ning Chaoyan, who believed that good things should be kept within the family.

It will be of great help to a newcomer's future growth if he can act in his first play in a crew with such high requirements but without any mess.
