Warm Married Life: Mr. President Loves His Darling Wife Chapter 99 - 98: Running Lines

Bella slept a lot during the day, and thus couldn’t fall asleep at night.

Moreover, thinking about shooting scenes the next day made her excited, keeping her even more awake.

She lay in bed for a while, then quietly got up to review her script and morize lines.

She had already morized the lines for the scenes in the first few days quite thoroughly, but fearing she might forget the lines out of nervousness the next day, she decided to go through them again before moving on.

"Bella, can’t sleep?" Sharon Cheney also opened her eyes.

"Ms. Cheney, did I wake you up?"

"No, as you get older, you tend to sleep less. I wasn’t asleep anyway." Sharon Cheney sat up, grabbed a coat laying beside her, and draped it over herself. "Rehearsing your lines again? I can’t sleep either. Would you like to run through them with you?"

"Could we...? It would be better to rehearse with soone instead of just morizing lines alone. But I worry it might disturb your rest."

"Hand the script." Sharon nodded. "If I rember correctly, your character enters the palace and we have scenes together. Let’s try and feel out that scene first."

"Alright."

In the drama, Sharon played the role of the Empress Dowager. Her character didn’t appear often, but each appearance was decisive, depicting a very formidable role in the novel.

Bella, having thoroughly read "Brocade River and Mountain," knew exactly where their scenes together occurred.

"Shall we begin, Ms. Cheney?"

"Let’s start."

Bella nodded, glanced at the script for the lines, and, after getting into the right emotional state, said, "Your servant Hera greets the Empress Dowager. I wish the Empress Dowager good health and eternal peace."

As she spoke, she lowered her gaze, exuding respect and awe in her deanor.

"You may rise." Sharon spoke, and with just one line, her aura was imdiately evident.

It was a presence of long-standing authority, majestic and noble, suggesting that no matter what happened, her composure and elegance would remain unshaken.

Previously, Bella had only watched videos and tried to comprehend Sharon’s acting skills. Although she recognized her great acting skills, the full effect was diminished by the screen’s barrier. But in this live encounter, Bella was utterly struck by Sharon’s superb acting.

Bella was stunned and felt that compared to Sharon, her own acting was akin to a child’s play, completely insignificant.

"Bella?" Sharon realized she wasn’t continuing the performance and called out.

Bella snapped out of it, embarrassedly touched her cheek, "Ms. Cheney, your acting was so amazing, I was montarily srized."

Sharon chuckled, "Every actor has their own aura when performing. A good actor can help others imrse themselves in the scene more quickly. I’m not that remarkable. Since we stopped, let’s discuss the last scene. When Hera first enters the palace to et the Empress Dowager, respect and apprehension are indeed present, but the most critical elent is Hera’s character. She starts off lively and carefree. I think when she sees the Empress Dowager, besides reverence, she’s likely curious too. Little gestures like sneaking glimpses at the throne can convey her innocence and liveliness."

"I see." Upon hearing that, Bella pondered for a mont and said, "I just felt sothing was missing in Hera’s portrayal. Now that you’ve ntioned it, I understand. Ms. Cheney, let’s try again."
