Chapter 205: Princess Jin’an Should Be Just Like This

Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Princess Jin’an Should Be Just Like This

"It’s out!"

The door of the changing room was pulled open from the inside, attracting the attention of everyone standing outside as they turned their heads in unison to look over.

First, they saw a bright dress adorned with orchid patterns, in a light blue green color, with a dark green waistband embroidered with silver cursive script that exuded elegance.

Only the bird hairpin on her head, vibrant and lifelike, revealed a hint of the girl’s lively nature.

But what left the deepest impression on everyone was not these external decorations, but her eyes, as pure and serene as a young deer’s, clear and gentle.

As if they could cleanse the soul.

It was Xu Ling’an’s first time being stared at so intently by everyone. After barely adjusting to her new attire, she quietly shuffled, bit by bit, behind Jiang Lingxi.

Until half of her body was blocked, the onlookers finally let out good-natured laughter, "Stop looking, stop looking, you’re making her shy!"

Wei Minmin also withdrew her gaze with a smile, then turned to look at Wei Xiao, whom she had just been questioning earlier.

"Uncle..."

Wei Xiao raised an eyebrow, "Well?"

Seeing his smug expression, Wei Minmin said sincerely, "I will never doubt your eye for choosing actors again."

She had read the script of "Empress Yuan Zhao" countless times by now, and she had a vague image of each character in her mind. In summary, this character should be more or less like that, as far as history goes.

To date, she felt the actor who fits the character best was Jiang Lingxi as the Emperor Yuan Zhao.

The majestic imperial aura, the inner strength, the flamboyance during her princess years, and the restraint during her time as the Imperial Princess — she had seen it all in recent days.

Every time she watched Jiang Lingxi act, to be honest, she felt exhilarated.

It’s just that when acting together with her, the pressure was quite high. Of course, that’s her own problem.

The second one that fits well was Shen Yunqing as Prime Minister Shen, mainly because this actor barely showed up on set since filming began, but his efficiency overshadowed those of them who stayed at the set daily — even the director automatically adjusted to his schedule!

Then there was Pei Xinyuan, introduced by Jiang Lingxi to play Qing Yuan. The steady and dignified image of the chief palace maid left an impression too.

And now, she felt she should also add Xu Ling’an as Princess Jin’an to the list.

Even though the girl was just setting her costume and hadn’t officially started filming, when she stood there earlier, the historical image of Princess Jin’an, innately delicate, gentle and understanding, with outstanding literary talent, suddenly came to life vividly.

If one could travel through time, the little girl who received endless love without any arrogance should be just like this.

The official account of the "Empress Yuan Zhao" crew introduced their fourth female lead in a playful tone.

"The darling of Yinhe Palace — Princess Jin’an has arrived!"

The promo photo showed the girl standing quietly in front of a desk, her profile lean and delicate, with her sleeves rolled up, holding a brush to paint.

It’s a profile shot, the camera was very close, almost capturing the bit of baby fat still lingering on her young face, her skin fair and clear with no visible pores.

At a glance, one could tell she was very young, uncertain if she’s even an adult.

But this promotion, like the lead male star’s promo, lacked a tag.

[What’s the person managing the account doing, how could they forget to tag again?]

[Considering the same lack of profile tags, I have a bold guess. Could it be that both the actress playing Princess Jin’an and the lead actor don’t have an account?]

[Wasn’t Lin Xuefei rumored to play Princess Jin’an? Did they change her?]

[The person above must have had internet issues recently. Lin Xuefei had a live breakdown on a show, her image is now shattered. The "Empress" crew must have decisively cut ties with her.]

[Perhaps there will be staunch fans of Lin Xuefei who’ll see this, but I still feel the newly replaced actress for Princess Jin’an fits the role better than Lin Xuefei, she resonates with me.]

[The actress seems young, quite fitting for the part.]

[A talented princess who died young, could the writer change Princess Jin’an’s ending?]

[To the one above, historical dramas should respect historical facts. Especially with Director Wei, your wish is unlikely to come true.]

[The profile shot is really nice, give us a full-face photo, please!]

...

Yesterday, after seeing the preview on Wei Xiao’s moments, a group of agents and artists clicked in, momentarily left speechless.

They had no impression of the actor in the promo photo, indicating that she was either a complete newcomer or an amateur.

Yet, for Wei Xiao, such matters hardly came as a surprise.

This person could pull out a male lead from among a staged crowd and refused proactive recommendations from recently crowned major stars. Now it’s completely plausible for a young amateur girl to play a leading role in his drama.

Who knows where he found this girl from.

Debuting right in a drama by Wei Xiao, one must say it’s sheer luck.

As long as she doesn’t forcibly create a persona and then ruin it herself like Lin Xuefei did, her future in stardom seems promising.

While others might just be surprised and regretful that their own talents didn’t make the cut, Lin Xuefei upon seeing this promo shot couldn’t suppress her frenzy.

She had been out of contract for a total of two whole days, and not only had her replacement been found, but even the promo photo was already out.

This led her to suspect that perhaps Wei Xiao had long found her replacement, using this opportunity to oust her from the crew.

The more she thought, the likelier it seemed.

"Find out for me where this person came from!"

The agent beside her wanted to advise otherwise but seeing Lin Xuefei’s contorted expression, swallowed the words and simply nodded in agreement.

Judging by this photo alone, she wasn’t sure if she’d find anything, perhaps putting on a show would suffice.

Even though Lin Xuefei’s popularity faded, this incident inadvertently put her on Chen Shao’s radar. If Chen Shao was willing to invest heavily in relaunching her, revival wouldn’t be impossible.

As the door clicked shut, a shattering noise of a cup falling to the ground was heard from the room behind. The agent paused, sighed, and glanced at her phone screen with the promo photo. Even she couldn’t help but admit that the new actress indeed suited the role better than her own artist.

Truly, Wei Xiao is remarkable!

However, not everyone failed to recognize the person in the promo shot.

With the end of exams, a large number of students were freed up. Coupled with the heat, many chose to stay indoors with air conditioning, sodas, and smartphones.

Lin Chan was one of them. Her parents went to work, leaving her to sleep until midday and then picked up her new phone to play around.

As she scrolled, she stumbled upon a familiar side profile. Though dressed in ancient attire, after three years at the same school, she couldn’t possibly mistake her classmate’s appearance.

Not to mention, she secretly envied that face.

Checking the account posting the photo, the chip in her hand fell noisily into her lap.
