BXBX NOVEL Chapter 128 - The Role
Chapter 128: The Role
Nie Li told me that I would only be here for half of my summer break! And that is definitely not 3 months!
“But I know that you still have to take your exams. Sister Nie Li has already notified the crew. You only need to inform the director and you’ll be able to leave the set.”
Mo Li couldn’t help but frown as the other cast members chattered around her. She had a feeling that someone had been watching her. However, when she turned to search for that person, she couldn’t find them.
After the quick introduction, Mo Li went to use the bathroom. Then she sat in the massage chair installed near the bathroom entrance and went over the script.
Lady in the Snow was a historical drama about a princess, Yan Xingxian who had to marry Ren Yanyi, a prince from Nan Jiang, a weak country. The couple went from being mocked to being praised. The male lead became a gruff and tough king who ruled the kingdom, impressing everyone with his bravado and boldness; while the female lead became the queen…
“Jing Ting really doesn’t sound like the male lead…” Once she said that, the first male lead and second male lead walked out from the bathroom at the same time. When the two men saw Mo Li sitting there, their faces darkened immediately.
Oh shit! What have I gotten myself into!?Mo Li couldn’t help her eyes from wandering to the bathroom behind the two men. This was a unisex bathroom. There were stalls inside the bathroom. Earlier when Mo Li used the bathroom, only one other stall was occupied. It was a shower stall. Mo Li assumed it was one of her cast mates using the facility, she didn’t expect it to be 2 of them!
Mo Li pulled her gaze back to the two men. She honestly didn’t know how to react.
“Erm, Little Darling Mo Li, please don’t misunderstand. There’s really nothing between us.” At that moment, Jing Ting still tried his best to salvage his image.
Jing Ting was 1.89 metres tall and was aged 29. He had this Vin Diesel tough guy persona. To be frank, Jing Ting had been in many movies and had basically no scandals. Jing Ting was accomplished despite his age. He had won many best actor awards. When he was Mo Li’s age, he was already nominated for one.
Last year, Jing Ting won the best actor, as well as best movie award. He also won international awards for his acting.
Compared to Jing Ting, Jiang Chi, the second male lead didn’t have that many awards but he had been in the business for quite some time already.
At the end of the day, what they did on their free time was none of Mo Li’s business.
However, Jing Ting was still trying to explain himself. “Darling, please don’t misunderstand. There’s nothing between us. I prefer the muscular, powerful type, and not thin bamboo sticks.” Honestly, he was only digging a deeper hole for himself.
“Senior, mind your image.” Jiang Chi couldn’t help but remind him.
“Pfft, what image?! There’s no outsider here anyway.”
Suddenly Jing Ting narrowed his eyes at Mo Li’s hands. His eyes lit up with gossip. He moved in closer to Mo Li and asked in a conspiratorial tone. “Mo Li, I see that you’re reading the script. I heard that your role was supposed to be someone else’s but it was changed at the last minute. Did you know why is that?”
Mo Li shook her head, she really did not know about this. Nie Li had never mentioned this to her before.
“Senior, stop disturbing Mo Li. Look at our junior, she’s so hardworking even during her break. We should go to rehearse our lines too.” Deciding that enough was enough, Jiang Chi cut in to grab Jing Ting and drag him away. At the same time, Jiang Chi turned around to smile apologetically at Mo Li.
Mo Li honestly wasn’t familiar with the background working of this industry. Her way of thinking was simple, since Nie Li had given her this task, then she would do her best to complete it.
