Chapter 192 The Sneak Peek
"You..."
She stared at Clarissa, only to see that her cold eyes were like two bottomless deep pools. Her eyes looked so horrible and she felt scared.
"Stop!"
A male voice sounded.
Alvin stood up from behind the camera with a frown. He looked at Lara and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why can't you finish your lines? Can't you even remember such simple lines?"
Lara suddenly came to sense.
She looked at Clarissa in astonishment, only to see that she had straightened up and touched her sleeves calmly with an indifferent expression.
Lara's heart trembled.
She gritted her teeth, suppressed the resentment in her eyes and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, Director Leslie. I was a little uncomfortable just now, so I forgot my lines. Let's retake!"
Alvin frowned and looked a little unhappy.
But he didn't say anything and let them start again.
Clarissa took the people back to the place and started again.
Outside, the entertainment reporters who came to interview them had set up their cameras and shot what had happened.
Someone whispered, "I heard that Clarissa is a new actress. I thought that she was not good at acting, but her acting skills are quite good."
"Yeah, she is pretty capable. She said her lines smoothly, and her eyes and movements were expressive. Those who don't know will think that she is a senior actress!"
"In contrast, Lara is less than satisfactory! She even won the acting award before!"
"You can't say like this. This is the first time. Every actor makes mistakes. Maybe she will perform better the next time."
"Yeah, didn't she explain that she was not feeling well just now? Look at her uneasy face. Maybe she is sick! Let's not be too harsh."
The entertainment reporters heard all the whispers of those passers-by.
They looked at each other and didn't say anything, but they had already secretly remembered these words.
At the same time, Clarissa walked into the hall again and walked to Lara's front.
She bent down slightly and pinched Lara's chin with one hand. Her face was calm and her eyes were stern, and there was even a faintly mocking sneer at the corner of her mouth.
She looked so domineering. Her slightly frown and her imposing eyes could make people clearly feel her sarcasm and indifference.
"Now your life is not even as good as a dog's. Do you think I would be interested in a dog that wags its tail to beg for mercy? Huh?"
Lara secretly clenched her fists.
A sharp pain came from her fingertips, and she was forced to raise her head to look into Clarissa's aloof eyes.
Suddenly, she felt that she had fallen into a black hole, and she was surrounded by an icy feeling. The chill penetrated into her bone, which made her tremble.
She swallowed, and finally stammered to make a sound.
"You... Since you are not interested, why did you come here today?"
"Stop!"
Alvin's voice sounded again.
He took a deep breath, tried to suppress the irritation in his heart, and said to Lara, "Your mood is not right. Remember, although you are an abandoned empress, you should have a backbone when you face your enemy who has replaced you!"
"You acted so timidly just now, like a maid. You need to act more confidently. Understand? "
Lara's face was a little unnatural.
But she nodded.
"Retake it!"
"Now your life is not even as good as a dog's. Do you think I would be interested in a dog that wags its tail to beg for mercy? Huh?"
"Since you are not interested, why did you come here today?"
"Stop!"
Alvin stood up from behind the camera helplessly, pointed at Lara and said, "Are you trying to fight with the new empress?"
"You're a deposed empress and you have no power. As long as she wants, she can kill you easily. Why do you talk to her like this? Do you want to die?"
Lara's face was unhappy to the extreme.
She couldn't help but refute, "It was you who asked me to act more confidently just now."
Seeing that she actually had a reason, Alvin hit the ceiling.
"I asked you to act more confidently, but I didn't ask you to act as if you're eager to die!"
"You!"
Since Lara became an actress, she had never been scolded like this. Moreover, there were so many entertainment reporters there, and she felt so embarrassed and annoyed.
Someone whispered to persuade Alvin.
"Director Leslie, calm down. This scene is a bit difficult, and it's reasonable that Lara can't perform well for a while. Just give her another chance, and she will definitely be able to act well."
Alvin said impatiently, "Difficult? How difficult is it? Clarissa is a new actress and she can even perform well. But Lara can't perform well? Doesn't she feel ashamed?"
Hearing these words, Lara immediately felt more awkward and her colour came and went.
But she couldn't lose her temper in front of so many reporters, so as not to be said to be a poser.
After a moment, she tried to suppress her anger and said in a soft voice, "Sorry, I didn't perform well just now. Let's do it again!"
Alvin glanced at her and finally retook it with a cold face.
However, maybe Lara had a nervous breakdown, and she couldn't perform well that day.
After finally saying those lines, she couldn't say a word when she was about to tell Clarissa that the real murderer was the emperor.
She always felt that there were something poisonous and vicious in Clarissa's eyes.
When Clarissa stared at her, she felt cold all over. She was struggling before dying and had to say something, but she couldn't say anything as if a fishbone was stuck in her throat.
Lara was very flustered.
In comparison, Clarissa was extremely calm.
She looked down at her with a fearless and domineering expression on her face. Although she didn't say anything and do anything, her entire aloof face looked so commanding and made people frightened.
Alvin knew that if he continued to shoot like this, the shoot couldn't be finished.
Finally, he asked everyone to take a break and continued to film in the afternoon.
This scene was still not completed in the end.
It could be imagined how annoyed and frustrated Lara was.
She originally wanted to behave well in front of the reporters, but she became a joke unexpectedly.
As soon as the shoot was over, the entertainment reporters who had been waiting aside came to interview them.
"Lara, you made mistakes frequently just now. Why couldn't you act well all the time?"
"Lara, you couldn't say your lines just now. Did you forget your lines?"
"Lara, you have always been regarded to be dedicated, but you can't even remember your lines. May I ask that if you were packaged to be dedicated by your company before?"
"Lara, you made mistakes frequently, but Clarissa, who put on a rival show with you, behaved very well. What do you think of this matter?"
Lara was surrounded by reporters, and Clarissa was no exception.
