Chapter 199: Childhood Sweetheart? Ex-Boyfriend?
Chapter 199 of "My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious" starts the action: Rong Lan, a genius actor who won Best Actor at the age of 17, swept... Find out what happens!
Rong Lan, a genius actor who won Best Actor at the age of 17, swept all domestic awards before turning 20, and at 22, secured Best Actor awards at both Berlin and Cannes. After that, he announced his retirement. His massive fan base was devastated, and many lamented his decision. Who would have thought that this time, heās actually coming back?
He stood there, exuding presence. That faceāevery time you look at it, itās breathtaking! Someone so blessed by Heaven, and yet also possessing such otherworldly acting skills, heās practically a living cheat code!
Rong Lan smiled lightly. "I heard Director Gao is making a new film, so I came to take a look."
"Thatās truly my honor. If you had told me earlier, I wouldnāt even need these auditions. The lead male role would unquestionably be yours."
Gao Hu unabashedly expressed his admiration for him. Rong Lan chuckled. "Letās stick to the rules."
Next came his short performance, which perfectly embodied what it means to deliver textbook-level acting.
Gao Hu decided on the spot that he would cast him as the male lead!
However, Qin Miaomiao raised an objection. "Heās not suitable for the male lead."
Gao Hu immediately became angry. "Miss Qin, what do you mean? With his acting skills, playing such a male lead wouldnāt be challenging in the slightest!"
Rong Lan also looked somewhat surprised at her statement. After all, there werenāt many people who dared to critique his acting.
"Director Gao misunderstood me. What I mean is that in āReincarnation,ā the male leadās personality and character setup arenāt particularly outstanding. It would be a waste of Emperor Rongās acting skills. I actually think the antagonist role would suit him betterāsomeone paranoid and obsessive, almost like a madman, yet possessing a twisted charisma. Just like the Joker in āDark Knight,ā thatās the most interesting character in the film. I believe Emperor Rong might find it much more compelling."
"But, thatās the villain role..."
"Iāll take that role."
Rong Lan interrupted him, speaking directly, his eyes gleaming with excitement. For a true actor, the inherent allure of a role surpasses everything else!
Qin Miaomiao stood up, smiling faintly.
"Alright, letās settle it like this. As for the other cast members, the director can decide as he sees fit. Iāve got something to attend to, so Iāll be leaving now."
Just as she stepped out the door, someone called out to her. She turned around, only to see Rong Lan.
Seeing him up close, that face was truly captivatingāwhat a devilishly charming man.
Lu Qingās face was strikingly handsome, carrying a sharp, domineering presence that instilled fear.
Rong Lan, on the other hand, drew people in with an almost irresistible allure, throwing their hearts into chaos.
"Miao Miao."
What? He actually called her by her nickname? Hey, hey, hey, werenāt they not that close yet? How does he even know her name?
"Emperor Rong?"
"You should call me Brother Rong. Itās been five years; have you truly forgotten me? You once said youād be my bride."
What theāQin Miaomiao felt as though blood was rushing up her throat, leaving her momentarily stunned!
Gao Hu and the producer were both frozen in disbelief, stretching their ears to listen in. This was huge news!
Nearby, Little second and Little sixth raised their guard, their eyes full of wariness. Alarm bells ringingāpotential love rival spotted ahead!
"Uh, Emperor Rong, youāre joking, right?"
Rong Lan took a step closer, his eyes showing a hint of affectionate indulgence as he smiled faintly.
"Five years ago, I had some health issues, so I went abroad to recover and left the entertainment industry. I didnāt expect that the little girl who used to chase after me and call me Brother Rong has grown into a young woman now."
He suddenly stepped forward, pulling her tightly into his arms, and said with deep emotion:
"Miao Miao, Iāve truly returned."
Oh, damnāshe felt as if someone had tipped a bucket of melodrama all over her head, leaving her completely bewildered!
