My Rich Hot and Infertile or Maybe Not Husband

Chapter 165
The challenge of this scene was that the queen still appeared gentle and well-mannered in front of everyone. She couldn’t be too
exaggerated in her performance, or her true identity would be revealed too soon. At the same time, she needed to leave subtle
hints for the audience to feel a sense of horror when her true intentions were later revealed
The queen was one of the most brilliant characters in the play. On one hand, she endured the pain of sharing her husband with
other women. On the other hand, she had to show the grace of a queen, not losing her composure even when facing the pain of
losing a child.
Always mindful of her duty as a mother to the kingdom, the queen numbed herself with the king’s emotionless love, carefully
restraining her own feelings. However, when she discovered that the king had fallen in love with the heroine, her long-held
beliefs crumbled, and hatred born from betrayal surged in her heart.
This love-hate relationship was the greatest charm of the character
Celeste took a deep breath and instantly got into character.
As soon as she began, those who had been playing with their phones suddenly stopped and looked at her
Celeste was completely immersed in the role. Her every move was so natural that, even without props, you could tell what she
was doing
Her lines were clear and her emotions were just right. Particularly in the details, her smile while coaxing the prince to sleep was
increasingly chilling.
However, until knowing she was the antagonist, her smile seemed perfectly normal.
After her performance, the room was silent
Zach said, “Let’s hear your thoughts.”
Everyone exchanged glances before letting the assistant director share his opinion.
The assistant director said, “Her performance was not bad, but the actress might be a bit too young to handle such a role”
Zach rested his thumb on his chin, deep in thought

This was indeed a practical concern. The original choice for the queen was a 30-something actress with a mature and
experienced demeanor, making people feel she has a lot of stories to tell.
Celeste, on the other hand, was too beautiful. Wherever she stood, people always noticed her face first. This was an advantage
for an actress but also a fatal flaw
Her stunning appearance could inadvertently make the audience overlook her acting skills.
A teacher once commented on Celeste’s looks, saying that her beauty might make her famous, but it could also limit her
development.
Celeste had always been unwilling to accept this. In college, while others were busy dating, she was busy taking care of her
mother and studying. However, she married Liam before she had a chance to prove herself
Now that this issue was brought up again, Celeste seemed very calm.
After a moment of silence, Zach asked, “When you heard her lines just now, did you think she was too young?”
Everyone was at a loss for words.
Celeste’s lines were nearly flawless, from pronunciation and intonation to the handling of emotional intensity. She even showed
greater depth in the details than the original actress.
But obviously, Celeste wasn’t the ideal candidate in these people’s minds.
Someone said, “I just checked her resume, and there’s no work experience at all. It’s a bit risky to let a newbie with no
experience play such an important role, isn’t it?”
At this point, Lorinda also chimed in, “Mr. Miller, this role is almost as important as the female lead. I don’t think it’s quite right to
have someone so green play this crucial role.”
Zach glanced at her and asked, “So do you have a better suggestion?”
Lorinda immediately replied, “Sydney. We’ve worked together before, and she’s got decent acting chops, plus a decent fan base.
She’s also really interested in the role. Maybe we could give her a shot?”
