My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 712

Chapter 712 Chloe had shot that scene eleven times this morning, yet she was completely overwhelmed by Lloyd Holder’s acting skill and could do nothing at all.

It was because of that did the director think that she was stiff as a log today. Yet, Lloyd did not think that it was his problem and instead asked her to take a break. The director could see the bitterness in Chloe’s eyes, but he also knew very well that Chloe was being outperformed by Lloyd. If there was just too much difference in the performance between the two actors, then the scene looking stilted was inevitable. The weaker party would be carried along and lose their rhythm and ability to perform, not unlike a string puppet, as they fall under their opposing party’s control.

This was also why so many were trapped in their role after acting with Lloyd, with no way to further advance their career.

They could not walk out of that trance they had been led into, as their performance was hinged upon the details Lloyd had set for the scene. Even if they were to act in another show, their movements and thoughts were forever locked onto that character they had played against Lloyd. That was why Lloyd Holder was called the Showbiz Assassin! He would silently murder those actors’ performance levels and acting talents, leaving the actors at a loss when they moved out of his play. Thinking of this, the director sighed deeply.

There were really very few people that were unaffected after performing with Lloyd. When he starred in Breaking Blue at sixteen, the star actress Miley Rogers, who performed opposite him, had said that the boy’s ability was terrifying, and even she found it difficult to move out of the spot he had created for her.

Sure enough, Miley no longer performed well in any other role in the past six years, even when she got a blockbuster script. Gradually, she too disappeared and no longer appeared in showbiz. ‘And Chloe here was Miley’s daughter. What a cycle. Is this mother-daughter pair going to have their careers ruined by Lloyd?’ After pondering for a bit, no matter how dissatisfied he was, the director could only say,” We’ll call it a day today. Chloe, go and study the script.”

Chloe’s appearance in this show was arranged by Miley, and if he allowed her to perish in Lloyd’s hands, Miley would not let him off easy.
