The Side Character's Hidden Boss! Chapter 130 - MV Female Lead

Chapter 130 - MV Female Lead

Early the next morning, there was great commotion at Elder Mo's front door. Mo Li frowned when she opened the door to find Nie Li standing there.

Before Mo Li could say anything, she was dragged away by Nie Li into the car. Soon they arrived at a studio.

"I found a new job for you, you'll be playing the female lead for a MV. I believe it'll take around 4 days to shoot." Then Nie Li pulled out a singer from the crowd.

"Sister Li Li, nice to meet you, I'm Huang Xin." Looking at the man in front of her, Mo Li could not help but raise her eyebrows. The man was much older than she was, but he referred to her as Sister Li Li? The man also had a perpetual fawning smile on his face, like he was always ready to kiss your a.s.s. Mo Li felt a natural s.h.i.+ver run through her.

Even though Mo Li was not used to dealing with this kind of person, she knew that Huang Xin was a new popular singer. His song was ranked first on the chart for 2 consecutive weeks and was awarded the most popular male singer last season.

Mo Li took a look at him. Huang Xin's appearance was nothing to shout about. He couldn't even rank among the top 10 handsome men Mo Li had seen in her life. However, from their short conversation, Mo Li could hear the mellifluous quality of the man's voice. Huang Xin was truly a talented singer.

According to Nie Li, the MV's original female lead suddenly decided to go on strike. It incensed Nie Li who decided to replace the actor with Mo Li. In any case, this was a good opportunity for Mo Li. It was a nice training for her too.

The theme of the MV was based on the duality of angel and demon. As the female lead, Mo Li would play 2 roles. First Mo Li changed into a white muslin dress and carried feathery wings on her back. She did look like an angel who had descended to save the world. After that, she changed into a black leather suit with smoky makeup. She appeared like a succubus. She was like l.u.s.t Incarnate.

"Wait, haven't I seen you before?"

Coincidentally the director of the MV was also the director of Lady in the Snow, Cai Wei!

"Director Cai, I'll leave Mo Li with you. This MV will also help promote our drama." Nie Li looked at Cai Wei with a smile.

"Don't worry, you should have told me I would be working with the girl. I'm already quite familiar with her from her work at the set." Cai Wei smiled at Mo Li. He had good impression of this girl because she had been working hard, pulling extra hours with the action director because her intended role, Ling Xian Er was supposed to be a martial arts expert.

Speaking of which, there were voices who were not satisfied that Mo Li had swooped in to s.n.a.t.c.h the role of Ling Xian Er. Therefore, to be fair, Cai Wei decided to hold an audition for the role.

Cai Wei noticed that Mo Li was still quite uncomfortable around Huang Xin. That couldn't be shown on camera so he had the two youngsters go relax and get to know each other.

Shooting a MV was not like shooting a drama. Since a MV was very short, the actor's actions and expressions had to be more condensed to capture the viewers' attention.

Cai Wei looked at Mo Li and wondered about the situation around her. This was already the second time Mo Li had taken the role of another actor. Even though Cai Wei didn't know the actual truth, he had his own guesses. After all, he had been in the entertainment industry for decades already. He knew about the business' unwritten rules. Nie Li was clearly paving the way for this Mo Li to stardom. Mo Li was the latest star Nie Li was trying to cultivate.

Cai Wei knew better than to ask too many questions. He only tried his best to help Mo Li ease into the new environment. After all, she was called at the last minute to replace the original female lead.

After about half a day, Mo Li finally was able to relax around the MV crew.
