Big Capitalist

Chapter 517 Getting into the role?

"Yes, be strong and brave, be kind and good, and always maintain a lofty belief in the Moon Goddess. Can you promise that?" The gentle voice of Rilla's mother gradually weakened, her breath became weaker and weaker, and every word she spoke seemed to use up all her strength.

Ella's father, who was standing by, had already red eyes and tears were falling uncontrollably.

He bit his lips tightly, trying to suppress the grief in his heart, but his trembling shoulders still revealed his sadness.

"I promise." Ella said firmly, holding back her tears.

Her eyes revealed a firmness that was inconsistent with her age, as if at this moment, she was carrying her mother's expectations and making a lifelong vow.

"Very good, very good, I will be leaving soon, dear, please forgive me." Ella's mother's apologetic eyes slowly closed, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

Although her face showed a hint of relief, it was also full of worry and reluctance for her daughter.

This scene moved everyone present, as if they could truly feel the deep maternal love and the helplessness of the passing of life.

"Of course I forgive you, Mom..." Ella's voice trembled and she choked with uncontrollable sobs. She could no longer control her inner grief and threw herself on her mother.

She hugged her mother tightly, as if she could retain the fading warmth.

The father, who was standing by, witnessed this heart-wrenching scene. The tears that he had been holding back suddenly burst out like a flood.

He walked forward slowly, stretched out his trembling arms, and gently embraced his beloved wife and heartbroken daughter. The three of them held each other tightly, as if in this world, only each other's arms could give them a little comfort.

"I love you..." Ella's mother's voice was as soft as a whisper, like the last wisp of wind. After saying this, she slowly closed her eyes, her face calm but with deep attachment.

At this moment, the watery moonlight outside the window quietly fell and gently covered her gradually cold body, as if it was the last touch of tenderness given by the Moon Goddess.

In this quiet atmosphere, the soul of Ella's mother slowly emerged behind her, illusory and ethereal. Facing the cold light of the moon, the soul was sprinkled with moonlight, like a star in a dream, flashing its last brilliance, and then gradually fading until it disappeared, as if blending into the endless moonlight.

The camera began to slowly lengthen as if being pulled by an invisible hand, gradually retreating from every corner of the room and every affectionate figure.

The whole room was bathed in soft moonlight. The three people hugging each other in the moonlight formed a warm yet sad picture, which became the eternal freeze frame of this scene.

"Passed! Great! Passed in one try!" Merlin was so excited that he couldn't help but slap his thigh hard, his eyes full of surprise and admiration.

Everyone's eyes were slightly red, and some members even turned their backs quietly, secretly wiping away the tears that they couldn't hold back.

The team members began to whisper to each other, their words filled with emotion and touching about this scene.

"The scene was so real. It felt like witnessing a mother saying her final goodbye to her daughter." A cameraman said softly, with a hint of sobs in his voice.

"Yeah, the atmosphere is so great that I can't help but feel sad too." The lighting engineer next to him echoed, with tears of emotion still in his eyes.

Merlin stood aside, his eyes full of approval.

He nodded slightly and praised softly, "Stacy's acting is really good. She interpreted the role of Ella to perfection. It seems that she has really worked hard these days."

Merlin knew very well that to interpret such delicate and complex emotions so realistically was not something that could be achieved overnight, and it must have been the result of countless times of practice and speculation.

Merlin was deeply pleased with Stacey's understanding and grasp of the role, as well as the sincere emotions she invested in her performance.

He believes that with Stacy's hard work and talent, the film will achieve unexpected success.

Yuna looked at Merlin curiously and asked, "Merlin, where did you find these two actors for Rayla's parents? Their acting is so good."

Merlin showed a smug smile on his face and said casually, "As for me, I just used a little money to buy the best theater in the Arcane City. These two are the actors in the theater."

That's right, Merlin was generous and had no hesitation in acquiring the best theaters in the Arcane City.

In his opinion, these "masters" who have been working on the theater stage for many years and have profound acting skills are undoubtedly the most valuable assets at the beginning of the film era.

Thanks to the wonderful performances of professional actors and the magical help of magic, the filming process went quite smoothly.

With the help of magic, all kinds of amazing special effects can be perfectly presented in real scenes. There is no need for complicated post-production, and everything seems to be natural.

The filming continued in an orderly manner, and now the plot has developed to the most important and classic scene in the Cinderella story. This scene carries the beautiful dreams of countless girls and can be called a dream moment.

The moonlight is like water, sprinkling in the courtyard.

Wearing a pink evening dress that was cruelly torn by her stepmother, Ella lay helplessly in the courtyard, her body trembling slightly, crying and muttering in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Mom... I'm sorry..."

Her voice was full of self-blame and pain, as if she had poured into it all the grievances she had suffered in recent days.

"I promised you to be brave, but I can't... never again..." Due to the ruthless targeting and heavy blows from her stepmother for a long time, under the pressure of countless hardships, Ella's inner defenses finally collapsed completely tonight, the night of the prince's ball that she was looking forward to, and all the pressure burst out like a broken dam.

Her cries echoed in the silent courtyard, expressing endless sadness and helplessness, which moved people.

Merlin looked at Stacey kneeling and crying in the courtyard. He felt as if he was acting in a true character role. He thought of how Stacey had been ostracized and bullied by the royal "relatives" in the Elf Forest. Well, was Stacey "feeling the same way"?

It is true that Cinderella and Stacy's past lives were very similar, except that Stacy's mother had always been with her throughout her long life, while Cinderella had no such person by her side.

"I don't believe that anymore!" Ella, played by Stacy, said while crying, she covered her face and ran out, and finally stopped in a corner where no one could see her, lying on the cold stone platform and gazing at the darkness in the distance.
