ETERNAL LOVE : A LOVE STORY

When Wu Sheng arrived at the set, all dressed up, he was surprised to see Xie Ming in the costume. 

No matter how many times he sees her in traditional costume, he can't help but admire her beauty.

She was looking extremely beautiful and elegant. Even the way she drinks water was elegant.

His manager who was beside him frowned seeing him staring at Xie Ming like this. He leaned in and said in a slow voice.

" Don't stare at her like this. It's creepy."

Wu Sheng frowned and glared at him when he heard his words.

"-_-"

' Fine, do whatever you want.' the manager stepped back raising his hands in defeat.

" You're looking beautiful." 

Xie Ming was drinking water and was startled when Wu Sheng suddenly approached her and complimented her.

They talked about their scene and Wu She g said, "If you need any help regarding acting you can ask me any time. You don't need to stand at formalities." 

Xie Ming smiled and said, "Thank you. I will look for you if I have any difficulties."

" Everyone, please take your positions." 

Xie Ming and Wu Sheng looked at each other and took their positions as they were instructed.

The first scene which she has with Wu Sheng is where he was leaving for war. It was a very exhausting scene emotionally.

She was into the scene from the start and unlike others, she didn't use any glycerine to make fake tears. When she was into the scene, she cried and sobbed like she was really sending her husband for the war.

Many women at the set cried with her because her acting was too real. Even Xu Lan also teared up a little, even though she doesn't have any husband or boyfriend.

Director Han smiled seeing the scene and shouted, " Cut"

" Very well. You guys didn't disappoint me. Especially, Xie Ming, I was not expecting this from you but you were just amazing. You were on Wu Sheng's level while you were performing. Keep it up." 

Wu Sheng did great as always. However, what surprised everyone was she finished this scene in one go. She didn't forget her lines or showed any unstable emotions.

Wu Sheng turned to Xie Ming with surprise and said, "You really surprised me just now. How did you get into the scene so easily? "

She smiled and said, " I just placed myself in place of the character that I am playing. This way I was able to perform more comfortably."

She smiled and remembered the time when she was young and used to go with her father to different villages and sometimes to military camps where her father treated the patients and she learned by his side.

And whenever she goes to such places, everyone used to gather around at night and they used to sing and act for fun. Unlike when she was in the palace, she was free to do anything when she was with her father.

They used to sing, play, and have enjoyed their life to the fullest. They were not rich but she was the happiest at that time.

….

A few days passed smoothly. In the past few days, she has shot scenes with Jian Yan, Wu Sheng, and others. Everyone was surprised by her acting and has acknowledged why Mr. Han has chosen her as the second female lead.

Xie Ming was in her vanity getting ready when Song Xiner came running to her.

" Xie Ming, see. An article about our movie has been released on Weibo."

Xie Ming looked at the article which was about the announcement of Mr. Han's new movie and the pictures they had shot the other day were used in the article. It was not the official article from Mr. Han or the productions but was from a famous media entertainment outlet, Red casts.

She smiled. 

Even though she had seen these pictures already but it feels strange seeing in an article like this.

The article was mainly about the announcement of the movie, Wu Sheng and Yuan Lei. Her name was mentioned in the article on the cast list.

She didn't mind because after all, she is just a second female lead. Not a female lead.

Song Xiner smiled and scrolled down, " Read this."

Xie Ming's eyes widened in surprise seeing so many comments under the article.

Most of them were about how handsome and heavenly Wu Sheng and Jian Yan looked. 

But other than this, everyone was talking about her.

" Damn. Who is this woman standing at the right of Wu Sheng? She looks so beautiful."

" I can't believe that this woman is the second female lead and not the main lead. With her royal looks, she deserves to be the main lead."

" I agree. She has overpowered Yuan Lei with her looks. Even her makeup is much better than Yuan Lei. Especially that hairstyle. Damn. I want that too."

" Did anyone notice, in the second picture, the way Jian Yan was looking at the girl who is acting as the Empress? Oh my god, I am already shipping them. Their visuals are no joke. "

Many people wrote in the reply to this comment: 

" Oh My God. You're so right. I didn't notice it before but the way he looked at her is full of emotions and longing. I ship them too."

" Are you kidding me? How can you ship our Jian Yan with this girl? Moreover, he is just posing for the pictures and nothing else. It just means that he is an amazing actor. There is no need to make it so dramatic."

" Her name is Xie Ming. It looks like it's her debut film. But how can Mr. Han cast a newbie as the second female lead? We all know about director Han and his blockbuster movies. But how can he give this prominent role to some newbie?"

 People mentioned this comment and wrote in reply:

" Exactly. I was wondering the same thing. I agree that she is beautiful and is very photogenic. But I think Mr.Han has made a mistake by casting her as the second female lead. I wonder how this movie is going to be?"

" Oh my god. My Yuan Lei is the female lead. I am so happy for her. She finally got what she deserved. I am sure she will get most of the awards this year. I will definitely go to watch this movie to support my goddess."

Xie Ming sighed as she was tired of reading all the comments. Many were praising her beauty or how good her pictures are.

Or some were busy finding faults in the casting. 

But overall, the response was positive and people were curious about her.

" Xie Ming, the response is amazing. I was not expecting people to notice you only after the one article." Song Xiner was excited because the response was better than she had expected.

People were curious about Xie Ming and wanted to know more about her. Only with her pictures, she has created havoc among the people.

Though there were some negative comments as well, overall the response was pretty good and positive.

Xie Ming shook her head and pursed her lips. She was happy about it but not much. After all, she is going to leave this industry after her contract ends.
