“I’ll go for the final makeup photo shooting a few days later,” Yan Huan finally let go of Yi Ling and freed her from the headaches. Then, she hung up the phone. It felt like everyone was putting her in a difficult situation, and she was more bewildered than anyone else. Once she accepted the supporting role, no one would be troubled anymore.
Was she being the candle that burned itself to light up others?
Could someone please give her a prize for being such a noble person?
“You’re going to join that drama?” When Lu Yi came back, he forced Yan Huan to one of the corners of the house and stared at her. With his brows furrowed together, he seemed to understand something.
“Don’t frown like an old man.” Yan Huan reached out her hand and touched Lu Yi between his eyebrows, “This script was originally approved by me. They wanted me to join, so I’ll just follow their will. It’s not like I’ve never acted as an antagonist before. To me, there’s more sense of achievement to deliver an antagonist well rather than acting as a protagonist to the fullest.”
“Did Uncle force you into it?” Lu Yi held Yan Huan’s fingers tightly, “Did he?”
Not exactly. Actually, Yan Huan did not feel herself being forced to do so. Uncle did mention about it, but rather than letting him mess things up in my Linlang and ruin my film, I might as well be involved in it myself.
Linlang was established by herself from scratch. From their very first drama to their films, their works were all successful. If they were to produce a bad film, it would be a loss to them as their previous hard work over the past years would be overwritten by one mistake.
Moreover, her starring in this movie drama was very beneficial from any aspect. Gossip regarding her were recent, hence her extremely high popularity lately. Publicity was not even needed in such a situation.
Therefore, she was not exactly forced to do so. At least, she could thoroughly rebuild her image.
Lu Yi was still staring into her eyes and was relieved after not finding any reluctance in her.
“If you’re not happy, just quit. I will deal with my uncle.”
Lu Yi did not care about anything else. He could deal with anything that came his way, but Yan Huan could not be involved in it.
“I know,” Yan Huan happily rubbed her face against his hands, just like a kitten. Of course, Little Bean had now become an old, pension fat cat staying with the Lu family.
Sun Yuhan took off her sunglasses. She was here today for the final makeup photo shoot. She came in her private car with bodyguards following her, bringing along a top makeup team, not to forget her assistants and agent. At the very least, there were nearly 10 people. Although she did not have any work yet, she already had that superstar aura.
Of course, she had the Ye family supporting her. Not to mention the others, even the sickly and dying Su Muran and Yan Huan were nothing compared to her. In the future, she would stand on that podium, get any honor she wanted, take part in any play, act with any actor, at the same time gain wealth and fame.
“Is she the female lead?” Yue Ran asked his assistant, “Such ugly appearance, such bad temperament, such disgusting fashion sense, and yet such a big fuss. Indeed, she has a good background.”
“Yes, she’s the female lead.” The assistant whispered, “She’s the new granddaughter of Ye family, now preparing to develop in the entertainment industry. Even our best actress, Yan Huan is here to play a supporting role for her.”
“For her?”
A trace of coldness appeared between the eyebrows of Yue Ran, “Not anyone could have Yan Huan as the supporting role. What a dumb girl. I hope she won’t get crushed.”
When Yue Ran returned to his dressing room, he smiled suddenly.
“I was just wondering when you would come over. Well, you’re really early. Someone has already brought the whole world here. What about you?”
Yan Huan turned around, “The scene is in Sea City and it’s not too late to prepare anything that is lacking. Why, did she not request for you to do her makeup?” That was of course referring to Sun Yuhan. Yan Huan had seen more than enough of these things. Compared to Su Muran in the past, Sun Yuhan was way worse. Of course, that required a lot of pretense. Anyway, Yan Huan was looking forward to Sun Yuhan’s acting.
Yue Ran walked to his dressing table and began to pack the things on the table, with irony in his voice.
“She already has her own makeup artist. Of course she won’t even take a look at me. Moreover, that’s the international top makeup artist. How about you? You’re already so famous. Have you ever thought of getting one for yourself?”
“You are already the best,” said Yan Huan. She believed in him a lot, unconditionally.
“Ha ha…” Yue Ran laughed. His mood was enlightened by Yan Huan’s words. What they disliked the most was that their skills were being questioned. She had looked down on him by bringing other makeup artists and stylists. So, now he wanted to see what kind of beauty the world’s top artists could make out of her.
Of course, a good foundation would be a must for that. As for Sun Yuhan’s face, unless she went for plastic surgery, otherwise it would be difficult to become like Yan Huan’s.
Yan Huan’s makeup look was also a female student at first. Her hair was styled with air bangs by Yue Ran, and tied into a beautiful half-bun just by using rubber bands. It looked slightly messy, but not as messy as curly noodles. She put on some light makeup, in which her slightly curved eyebrows made her facial features ever so gentle.
“You have not changed after all these years,” Yue Ran exclaimed. After all those years, her youth seemed to have been preserved so well and her skin condition remained flawless, just like the first time he met her. If there was any change in her, it would most probably be her smile, a smile that was more shy and gentle now.
“I’ve aged,” Yan Huan touched her face, “You see, I’m almost 28 years old.” Yan Huan laid her hand on the mirror. Her eyes were no longer naive, only reflecting the precipitate of time. Living through her youth again led to her regretless choices.
She smiled at her reflection. In the mirror was obviously a young girl’s appearance without looking any strange. She finally understood why Liang Chen could take up the role of a 16 years old girl in her thirties. She was now 27 years old and also challenging the role of a teenage girl. She had lost this feeling a long time ago.
She felt like she could not wait to act out the character and relive those younger days. During that time, they would not know anything much, except that the sky was blue, the grounds were vast, the grass was green, and their future was bright.
However, those years of innocence and reminiscence had been long forgotten by her. She really wanted to recall those days when she was 17 or 18 years old, be it the days of her past or current life.
