Chapter 670: Chapter 669 Bing Yan_1 Chapter 670: Chapter 669 Bing Yan_1 The play ‘Demon Flame’ is set in the ancient martial world, with the male lead Bing Yan known for his immense magical powers and his unparalleled beauty that transcends genders.
He plays the role of the Demon Sect Master, fluctuating between cruelty and warmth. Despite being a man, even women cannot help but feel inferior to his stunning beauty.
If there is one word to describe his character, it is both righteous and evil.
His mysterious personality, unruly demeanor and ambiguous feelings towards the female lead, Xue Chujian, creates an uncertainty. This was the very reason Xue Chujian decided to leave him, for she could never tell if Bing Yan’s feelings towards her were romantic in nature or merely that of fellow sect members.
Later, the appearance of Monk Minghui provided her with the resolution to cut off her lingering affection for Bing Yan and wholeheartedly fall in love with Buddha’s Child.
One loyalty to Buddha, one enchanting Sect heirarch. But who was the guardian? Who was the disaster?
Undoubtedly, the greatest highlight of this play was Bing Yan. His mysterious identity and rebellious personality offered a unique portrayal of a male lead on screen; thus making it an intriguing setting and explaining why Qiao Xiaren chose to cross-play as the male lead.
This was indeed a daring decision. Nonetheless, Director Deng couldn’t help but admire Qiao Xiaren’s sharp discernment. It was indeed an impressive role, and the idea of cross-playing could potentially have astonishing results.
Previously, Lan Lan had read a small section of the script. The show ‘Demon Flame’ was actually adapted from a novel, but with drastic changes. Only the characters were retained, while the storyline and settings were completely altered.
To Director Deng’s surprise, Lan Lan had effortlessly immersed herself into character.
Her eyes were filled with melancholy, as if she was about to pick a peach blossom from the tree, yet withdrew her hand half-way, expressing a sense of dejection.
A slight bittersweet smile curled on her lips as she lightly sniffed the fragrant blossom.
“Bing Yan, why can’t I ever understand what’s in your heart? You’re within reach, yet you seem as distant as the horizon.”
At this moment, she was no longer Lan Lan, but the alluring female demon lord, Xue Chujian, torn between love and confusion.
Just from this brief performance, Director Deng was already astounded.
Lan Lan was an heiress who didn’t have any works released yet. Unexpectedly, her acting skills were commendable. Although they were slightly immature and stiff, the essence had been captured well.
He clapped his hands, genuinely impressed with her achievement.
Huang Ningyue was soaked in cold sweat while her lips turned slightly pale. She didn’t expect Lan Lan’s acting skills to match her own. She was already nervous and feared that she might not be able to perform well under such stress.
Seeing everyone applauding around her, Huang Ningyue joined them symbolically, forcing a bitter smile. She realized she might lose this round.
After Lan Lan finished her performance and noticed the satisfied expressions on everyone’s faces, she felt somewhat smug. She curled her lip and provocatively glanced at Huang Ningyue.
“Director Deng, my performance has ended. Why don’t we have Miss Huang come up and compete?”
Caught in a difficult situation, Huang Ningyue bit her lip and reluctantly stepped up.
Lan Lan stood aside with a strong aura around her. She could tell Huang Ningyue was flustered already. She had secured the role in ‘Demon Flame’.
However, just as she was basking in her triumph, a faint sound of footsteps suddenly came from not far away.
