THE SIDE CHARACTER'S HIDDEN BOSS!

CHAPTER 134

Chapter 134: Stunning Performance

After Mo Li started her performance, Cai Wei sat up straighter in his director’s chair.

Ling Xian Er was beaten up by her slaver. There was pain and despair, helplessness and sadness in her eyes but there was no resentment. She hadn’t interacted with human beings that much due to her unique background so she still hadn’t fully comprehended the depth of human sin.

The slaver’s attitude was tough as he continued to abuse Ling Xian Er.

Ling Xian Er looked at her abuser with unshed tears. In that moment, all kind of emotions were expressed in her eyes and they managed to pull everyone into the scene with her. The pair of innocent eyes appeared to be saying a thousands words, while also being perfectly silent. There was only a wordless accusation.

Yan Xingxian played by Su He walked out. Ling Xian Er seemed to see her ray of light when she saw Su He. She jumped towards Yan Xingxian and knelt down before her.

Cai Wei was startled by the echoes of the knees knocking against the ground. Since this was just an audition, Mo Li was not wearing any knee pads. That kneel would have been extremely painful.

“Please, please buy me!” Ling Xian Er pleaded while the slaver pulled on her hair.

“Why should I buy you? What value could you serve me?” Yan Xingxian lifted Ling Xian Er’s chin. The former’s eyes glowed with careful curiosity.

These were two very good actors, they could match each other’s rhythm perfectly.

Ling Xing Er appeared to have seen something special in Yan Xingxian’s eyes, something that told her that she would serve this woman standing before her. Ling Xian Er’s eyes shone with unfamiliarity towards Yan Xingxian but also an eagerness to serve.

The slaver yanked on the chain around Ling Xian Er’s neck, dragging her to the ground. “What are you doing?” The bare cotton clothing was torn and it exposed the multitudes of wounds on Ling Xian Er’s body.

At that moment, Yan Xingxian dropped a dagger before Ling Xian Er. Staring at the dagger, Ling Xian Er’s eyes filled with courage and determination. She grabbed at the dagger and pounced at her abuser.

Everyone was affected by her actions and were pulled along by her emotions.

Since this was her first time killing another human being, Ling Xian Er’s eyes filled with fear and her hands trembled. However, she soon adjusted herself and she turned timidly towards her savior. There was defiance and appreciation.

This was a very short scene, but Mo Li managed to express the resilience, naivete, and courage of Ling Xian Er. From the performance to her lines, Mo Li had digested them and incorporated her style into their expressions. She didn’t just exaggerate the emotions demanded of her. Instead she manifested the feeling on her face and in her heart. Everyone present was shocked by her performance.

Many people thought Mo Li was there because of her family connection but now she had proven them all wrong.

She had displayed the duality of innocence and cruelty within Ling Xian Er to the fullest. Ling Xian Er was the hopeless girl who saw hope; the abused girl who killed; the free spirit who was confronted by and finally adopted human cruelty. She was a character of great depth and was why Yan Xingxian had kept her by her side until the end.

Cai Wen was sincerely moved by Mo Li’s performance and gave her a standing ovation. Even though he had already worked with Mo Li during the MV shoot, she had surprised him once again during this audition. With the girl’s talent, she’s meant to be in this business!

Mo Li smiled faintly from the applause before she was led away by Nie Li to remove her makeup.

“Your pair of eyes really do seem to possess the ability to speak.” Nie Li studied Mo Li and gave her a compliment.

While she waited for Mo Li to have her makeup removed, Nie Li went to mingle with the crew.
