Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 370 - 369: Watching Her from Beginning to End
Until she walked out of sight, Tiana Thorne asked, "Who was that?"
May Sloane also withdrew her gaze, "That’s the leading actress, Iris Sterling."
"Oh."
She is a woman with a commanding presence, with black curly hair and a bright red dress. Her assertive strides seemed to come with a natural halo as soon as she appeared on the scene.
Tiana Thorne remembered, the character of the Ninth Princess she was to play was lively, adorable, innocent, and romantic.
It seems this woman’s acting skills are quite remarkable; she can switch between various personalities effortlessly.
"Tiana, Iris Sterling’s aura can make others feel small. Do you feel pressured?"
Tiana Thorne smiled, "Maybe she does create a significant gap in confidence for ordinary people, but darling, do I seem like an ordinary person?"
May Sloane: "..."
Indeed, she is nothing like an ordinary person.
Shortly after, an assistant came over and called out, "Miss Thorne, it’s your turn. Are you ready?"
"Yes."
"This way, please."
Along the way, May Sloane’s heart raced fiercely, unsure of what the outcome would be.
She trusted Tiana, but Gwen Boyce was not to be underestimated.
After all, she wasn’t the former Jodie Tanner, nor was she the latter Ella Rivers...
Soon after, they arrived at the set.
Tiana Thorne: "Darling, do something for me later."
"What?"
"Record on your phone while I’m auditioning, save it."
May Sloane nodded. She also understood that at critical moments, parts of the audition could be very important.
Then, Tiana Thorne strode across the room.
Iris Sterling sat to the side as a guest.
A director, two assistant directors, a screenwriter, and a producer were all seated at the judges’ table.
Tiana Thorne displayed her usual sweet and gentle smile, with dimples like little pears making her look very obedient. She respectfully said, "Hello, teachers."
"Miss Thorne, have you read the script?"
"Yes."
"Try the scene from the wedding day, go back to the beginning, and treat this place as the palanquin, walk through," Deputy Director Joel Fletcher said.
Iris Sterling also glanced at her, not only is her aura powerful, but even her eyes were sharp.
If an ordinary actor met her gaze, they would likely feel burdened and terrified.
But Tiana Thorne felt nothing.
"Start," Dalton Grant said, his tone very stern.
"Okay."
The moment Tiana Thorne turned around, her lips curled slightly in a sly smile, the sparkle in her eyes like a calm lake, deep but serene.
To speak of ancients.
Looking around the world, everyone is merely portraying ancients.
But she had truly lived through the ancient period, considered a woman of ancient times.
With a few steps, she quickly found that version of herself in ancient times, walking as if on lotus flowers, graceful yet dignified and elegant.
Even her back sent people into the scene.
Tiana Thorne turned around, hands together, thumbs hidden within her palms, with her delicate fingers slightly raised, just above her lower abdomen.
She slightly lifted her head, looking at the judges.
At that moment, she regarded Dalton Grant as the Third Prince in the drama, her eyes emitting a warmth, gentle and touching, as if she were offering all her lifetime’s tenderness to him alone.
She blinked softly, and upon opening her eyes again, her lips curled slightly, as if years of beautiful dreams had come true, marrying the man of her dreams.
But after three steps, those eyes bright as stars gradually lost their color, dimmed, silent, desolate...
Finally, devoid of any light, her ocean-like starry eyes lost their original color, becoming as still as dead water, devoid of any ripples.
Each step was like walking on needles, the pain not in her feet but her heart, tender for so many years.
Her fingers trembled slightly, as if even breathing was painful.
"My Lord, Chelsea no longer loves, cannot afford to love."
When she reached the judges, a tear fell from her right eye, slid across her lips, then, she closed her eyes, severing everything.
Dalton Grant’s stern eyes appeared unmoved but showed a hint of emotion, pursing his lips lightly, saying nothing for a long while.
Suddenly, the sound of applause broke the silence.
Tiana Thorne looked toward the source of the sound and saw Iris Sterling. Her powerful aura gradually turned into appreciation, sincerely applauding her.
Then the judges followed with their applause.
"Not bad."
These were Dalton Grant’s words.
The atmosphere was somewhat heavy, moved by the mood Tiana Thorne created.
Every detail, especially her posture, her walking style, it felt as if she wasn’t playing Chelsea Montgomery, but she was Chelsea Montgomery.
Joel Fletcher couldn’t help but praise, "The emotion captured in your gaze was handled extremely well, unintentionally drawing people into your inner world, especially in the details, your hand positions were full of charm, and during moments of intense emotion, your fingers trembled slightly, yet the aura of a formidable general’s orphan held steady throughout, walking to the very end with grace, especially that tear."
Tiana Thorne lightly curved her lips, sweetly smiling, and bowed gently, "Thank you, Director Fletcher."
Dalton Grant looked at her information for a long time before he said, "The information shows that Miss Thorne has never acted in a historical drama."
Tiana Thorne nodded, "That’s right."
At that time, Cody Pace thought her temperament fit variety shows, so he made her a queen of variety shows, taking half the entertainment world by storm, but she hadn’t taken on film roles.
Dalton Grant: "I remember in Miss Thorne’s ’Fox Spirit,’ the leading role was a carefree, uninhibited fox spirit, not a lady from a prestigious family."
"Yes."
"But Miss Thorne has such meticulous insights into the nuances of ancient women; where did you learn them?"
Tiana Thorne shook her head, "I’ve never done historical dramas, and it’s always been a regret for me, so I often dream of being a woman from ancient times, and I learned those details in my dreams."
Dreams...
This explanation is indeed novel and astonishing.
"Thank you, Miss Thorne, for today’s audition. Take a rest, and we’ll be in touch," Dalton Grant said finally.
Tiana Thorne bowed again, "Thank you."
Then she turned and walked out.
She could feel that from start to finish, Iris Sterling had been watching her.
She arrived next to May Sloane, taking her out of the set.
May Sloane was suddenly amazed, left speechless, "Tiana, you’re a treasure!"
"I thought you could only portray the heartbroken Chelsea Montgomery, but I didn’t expect your eyes to convey so much emotion. These things were unexpected by the directors; I think this time is absolutely OK, just wait for the news."
Tiana Thorne licked her lips, "No pressure at all."
Despite thinking that the role in ’Fox Spirit’ was vivid because of Tiana’s personality, now it seemed she was born to be a queen of the entertainment industry.
Suddenly, the sound of high heels echoed, and Iris Sterling stopped her, "Miss Thorne."
