The Side Character’s Hidden Boss!-Chapter 362 - History

“Boss, the target has returned.”

“Boss, the target is just staring at Mo Li.”

“Boss, the target is having dinner with Mo Li.”

…

“Tsk and he calls himself a member of the Han Family! He’s more like a dog!” Han Shang was not dumb enough to believe that Han Xu was just there for no reason. Therefore, he had his people watch Han Xu’s every move. However, the result showed that Han Xu was indeed that useless. Han Zhou told me to be careful of this Han Xu but based on my observation, Han Xu is no threat at all. The boy doesn’t really think returning to the Han Family will help him with anything, does he? Then again, the threat here is Han Zhou. Is he trying to distract me with this Han Xu?

Han Shang knew Han Zhou didn’t give him any advice for free, after all, they were also competitors.

The next day, when Mo Li got out of the car, she noticed Han Xu was waiting for her. She was confused. “Are you going to stay with the crew from now on?” Mo Li never expected Han Xu to wait for her. This was a problem because if he stuck to her like this, she wouldn’t be able to conduct an investigation.

“Yes, my brother hopes that I can spend more time to look after Miss Li Min, to be her bodyguard.”

Kang Zhi looked at Han Xu and shook his head. “You’re going to be her bodyguard? You look like you need a bodyguard yourself!”

Han Xu didn’t say anything but smiled helplessly. Mo Li’s agent sure is naive…

…

“Today, we’ll be filming the raining scene. Please prepare all the appropriate equipment. Prop people, get the water tank cars ready…” The Director ordered people around.

“Li Min, for this scene, we are focusing on the power struggles between 2 countries. Fu Jinying’s close friends are dying one after another. At the same time, the peasants are being affected by the war. Fu Jinying tries to save the world but the second male lead has managed to convince the Bat Queen that Fu Jinying was behind the blood plague even though he was actually the real culprit.” Xiao Ou went through the scene with Li Min but Xiao Ou noticed that Li Min wasn’t really paying attention.

“After her fight with the Bat Queen, Fu Jinying was injured. In the throes of her injury, she saw the souls of her dead friends. She tried her best to chase after them but she couldn’t catch up to them. Eventually, she cried and her wails of despair attracted the attention of Tai San’s God.”

Xiao Ou looked at Li Min worriedly. This scene was a very difficult one. This was the turning point in Fu Jinying’s characterization. It was after this ordeal that she realized pure kindness would only be taken advantage of. There was a deep wealth of emotions in her epiphany. Xiao Ou had trouble envisioning Li Min’s performance capturing the nuances.

The director shouted, “Li Min, are you done? Ready?”

“Okay.” Li Min answered despondently.

“Okay, we’ll start rolling!”

Li Min nodded mechanically before she turned to Liu Yang as if stating her dominance. I can do this, I am not like her… I have both acting chops and looks. I am not some trash like her who only relies on her face…

Li Min started her performance. “No… No… Senior brother, Lu Lu, Xiao Die… Please don’t go! Don’t leave me all alone!” Then Li Min fell to the ground, splashing water everywhere. “Please… please don’t go…”

“Cut! Li Min, that was too fake! This is already your 4th take.” The director looked at Li Min, shaking his head.

“Director, give me one more try. I have the feeling down, I’m sure I can nail it this time!”

“It’s alright. Li Min, you better go rest. We’ll move on to the other scenes for now.”

Jin Chuan looked at the woman and sighed. Li Min’s eyes dimmed like she suffered a huge blow. Then she exploded, “No, please, I can do it, just one more time…”

Jin Chuan shouted at her. “Li Min, we don’t have all day! Yours is not the only cut we need to take in the rain! Please be more understanding of the other cast members!”

Li Min was startled by the shout. Then she turned to shuffle towards the temporary awning. “Fine.”

When she walked past Yang Liu, the latter uttered, “Don’t be mad at Brother Chuan. You are not the only member of the cast. Granted I have no acting skills but at least I know my limits. If you can’t act, then you can’t act. It can’t be forced.”
