Chapter 133 - Audition

The three actors shared the same dressing room. The most famous among them was a B-list actor. Even though she was a newcomer, she was quite famous already and had a sizeable fan base.

Mo Li changed into her costume and did her make up. Nie Li studied Mo Li and was very satisfied. Mo Li's appearance fitted the original, the role was tailor-made for her!

Mo Li's eyes were clear as water. The makeup artist added a beauty mole on the side of Mo Li's lips to stick to the original. It accentuated her beauty.

In the book, Ling Xian Er grew up in the mountains before she was picked up by the troupe of slavers. Therefore, she had a natural, unfettered wildness about her. The quality was expressed fully in Mo Li. There was an unrefined feline grace about her.

"Wonderful, you're really perfect for this role." Nie Li looked at Mo Li and couldn't help clapping her hands. Her eyes glowed with admiration. No wonder Quan Yu would fall for her, she's not only beautiful but also has quite a character to her beauty!

If the female lead, Yan Xingxian was pure as lotus, and the second female lead was refined as orchid, then Mo Li's third female lead was resilient as marigold. She had an indomitable will while still carrying the vivacity of an innocent girl untouched by the complexity of the human world.

In this scene, Ling Xian Er, who was adopted by the troupe of slavers, was being beaten and tortured by them. It was the female lead who arrived to save her.

Mo Li exuded a sense of organic tenacity that came from living in the mountains. For a split second, it was like the actual Ling Xian Er was there before them!

The makeup artist couldn't wait to take a picture with Mo Li so that he could show his proudest work to others. He had a good makeup skill but more importantly, he was working with a good foundation.

When Ran Ya saw how many people surrounded and praised Mo Li, her expression turned extremely ugly.

"Do you even know how to do makeup? Look at how you made me look!" Ran Ya had no channel to vent her anger so she turned it all on the poor makeup artist.

Nie Li glanced towards her. Ran Ya's manager didn't dare to say a word lest she angered Nie Lie and lost her job.

...

Cai Wei had already finished the audition for the previous two girls when Mo Li arrived at the scene. When he saw Mo Li, everyone noticed that his eyes lit up.

Cai Wei was a good director, he had shot 4 historical movies, and this was his first foray into historical drama. To be honest, when he saw Mo Li in the costume, Cai Wei had already made up his mind. I should just use her!

However, Cai Wei understood how unfair that would look. Furthermore, Mo Li might look the part but could she act the part? He needed to confirm that first.

"Come and get into place." Cai Wei instructed Su He and the extras. As mentioned earlier, Mo Li was going to read for the scene where she was abused and then saved by the female lead.

This was Mo Li's first time acting in a drama. Cai Wei wouldn't allow a bad actor to ruin the whole series. So it depended on Mo Li herself if she could get the role or not.

The previous two actors didn't have Mo Li's natural good looks, but they had more experience. Cai Wei preferred the other girl compared to Ran Ya because the latter's expression was too stiff. Cai Wei wanted to see if Mo Li could be better than them both.

There were quite a number of people at the audition venue. The director, a few assistant directors, as well as some on-site producers, reporters, and production staff were all waiting for Mo Li to start.

They had heard the rumors that Mo Li was Jiang Yan's little sister. Furthermore, Mo Li was also supposedly Nie Li's latest cultivated starlet. If that was true, Mo Li came with mountains of resources. They wanted to see if Mo Li could bear those resources.
