My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 84

Nathan asked, "What do you mean?"

"Today, the project team decided on an open-air stage as the venue, and we've set no limits on the audition content or scene. The actors are simply asked to perform a segment from a novel about Phoenix, allowing maximum freedom for them to express themselves. We hoped for some surprises. But everyone ended up choosing traditional scenes like singing, dancing, or playing the piano, which is all too standard. While it fits the typical image of a well-read, and gentle female lead in movies and TV shows, it's definitely not Phoenix!

Phoenix is a product of the international mercenaries, growing up without the concept of family or friends, only knowing the duty of following orders as a soldier, and the cold, remorseless demeanor of an assassin.

In my mind, she should be spirited and commanding, a beauty that’s fierce and refreshing. Not the delicate and gentle beauty of a high-society debutante, but a raw, unpolished wildness and strength!"

Standing aside, Cedric twitched his eyelid when he heard “high-society debutante” and “delicate and gentle”, his gaze landing on the man flipping through the casting book, who paused slightly.

Was Director Smith indirectly hitting at Ms. Nightshade with his example? Who else could embody the traits of a high-society debutante and delicate gentleness better than Ms. Nightshade?

Still, the pride in Ms. Nightshade was unmistakable; otherwise, she wouldn’t have disregarded Orion for so many years.

"Hahaha."

Nathan laughed, "It’s widely known in the industry that Director Smith, you are extremely picky and meticulous, and it’s certainly true! Your description just now, it’s hard to find such a person not just in the entertainment industry, but in the whole world. After all, novels and reality are different. Could there really be someone who steps right out of fiction?"

Kevin nodded, "Exactly. But thanks to Starlight Media’s trust in letting me direct this year's S+ level project, I’m committed to selecting actors who truly fit the characters."
