Chapter 489: Why Is It Her?
It was too bad that a beautiful girl often had an unfortunate life.
The ending of the story was a tragedy. Even though the ending was not as satisfactory as a comedy, it had greater impact. This was the power of tragedy, something comedies could not create.
This was why the drama continuously broke the ratings record. It was the big hit of the year.
It was undeniably a great drama. Yan Huan would definitely invest if Su Muran did not take part in it. However, it did not matter as she still had plenty of opportunities. She was not in a hurry. At least, she would not take any action before her contract with Yuelun ended.
Su Muran arrived early at the opening ceremony of When The Song Ends. As the leading actress, she was naturally the most eye-catching one. She was wearing a white off-shoulder maxi dress that revealed her nice figure. On the other hand, Emperor Yongzheng was starred by Xu Nuo, the best actor of all time. Lu Qin was only a supporting actor. He might not even have gotten this role if it wasn’t for Lu Yi.
When The Song Ends was Yan Huan’s blockbuster drama. Years of preparation had been made and thus great care was taken in the casting process. Su Muran had always worked with him as the main actress. In recent years, she had grown and became quite well-known. However, deep in Yan Hua’s heart, he still wanted Yan Huan. He could only accept Su Muran since she had been prearranged as the main actress.
In order to secure the ratings, he invited Yan Huan over at a high price. At first, he thought that Yan Huan would not have accepted since she had turned down offers for a good while due to her health. What happened to her in Serene City was known to everyone. Yan Huan was not only known in Serene City but was known all over the country. After the earthquake in Serene City, she did not appear in front of the public for a long time as she was recovering from her injuries. However, her popularity skyrocketed because of her choice of watching Ye Yimeng’s movie. Even the movie’s occupancy rate and ratings had improved.
It was absolutely right to say that she could trigger the entertainment industry’s ratings.
“Director Yan, you look great today,” Su Muran asked with a smile. They were familiar with each other as they had worked together many times. It was rare to see Yan Hua laughing like this as he was a strict and stern director.
“Is there any good news?”
“Yeah, there is,” said Yan Hua as he glanced Su Muran. “I invited someone over to act as the Queen. I hope that you guys can get along with each other.”
“Sure,” answered Su Muran. However, she was curious about the person who was invited by Yan Hua as he was so happy about it. It was rare for him to even invite someone.
The person came late. She arrived during the photo session when everyone was done with their makeup.
Lu Qin who was acting as the Fourteenth Prince was done with the shooting. At the back of his head was a long braid. He looked elegant and noble wearing the Qing Dynasty’s Prince apparel. However, he was stunned when he saw the person who was approaching.
Why is it her?
Everyone on set had a similar expression.
It is Yan Huan, it really is Yan Huan. She is the hard to get panacea of the box office. She is also the best actress who has not acted for a long time.
Yan Huan was not only known for her beauty, she was also known for her good reputation and her being the panacea of the box office. Although it was a little superstitious to believe it, any producer was still willing to have such an actor.
Yan Hua was one of them. Every time before the camera started to roll, he would go and burn an incense stick.
For him, to be able to invite Yan Huan was not easy. This was why Yan Hua was so happy now. He thought that there was no hope for it. However, she went ahead and agreed at the last moment. Undoubtedly, this left Yan Hua in shock.
Thus, he prepared to burn another incense stick before he got the cameras rolling.
Yan Huan walked toward Lu Qin and stopped for a few seconds in front of him. Then she walked away as if she did not see him. At this moment, Lu Qin’s eyes were as if it was filled with poison as he glared at Yan Huan.
After having that dream, he even had a sense of betrayal.
However, he really had no relation with Yan Huan. He was her cousin. Did he know her? Lu Yi had long known her. However, he was clear that Yan Huan was not concerned about him. Unless it was his next life or she would never pay attention to him, just like now.
She walked past him, yet it was as if she did not see him at all.
He felt like he got punched in his heart. He could not stop himself from thinking about what had happened in his dream, where Yan Huan used her connections and money earned just to make a smooth route for him. His acting career went on smoothly. Every drama he took part in became a big hit. As long as he accepted the offer, he would be the lead actor and no other role.
He was also one of the top three best paid actors in the entertainment market.
However, the moment he opened his eyes and awakened from that dream, he was still a C-list actor while Yan Huan was the untouchable best actress.
Su Muran was talking to her manager. Naturally, she had confidence in this drama. She believed that it could definitely attain the best rating of the year. By then, her popularity would rise higher.
She could even win the Best Actress Era Award this year.
As for the Modern Award, she would be nominated this year. The most impactful award of the nation which was evaluated every two years. She already had a well thought out plan for it and thus she was confident.
She was still smiling. But, her smiling face froze as a silhouette caught her sight.
“Why is she here?” Su Muran’s smile faded. Why is she here? It is impossible for her to be here.
“Who?” Her manager’s face changed as she saw the young girl who was happily chatting with Director Yan.
At the same time, Yan Hua noticed Su Muran and waved at her.
“Muran, please come here for a moment,”
Su Muran walked toward them with a fake smile on her face.
“This is?” she purposely asked. At the same time her hand was clutching at her clothes.
“Yan Huan, Ms Yan. I think everyone is familiar with her,” Yan Hua introduced Yan Huan happily. “It’s not easy for me to invite her. She is here as a guest star.”
The entertainment industry was just this big. There was only one person who could be well-known. Who had a new chicken in their house or whose dog passed away was something normal just like how a new star was born to replace the old ones. This was the natural cycle of the entertainment industry.
Looking at Yan Huan’s face, it was impossible for Su Muran to act like they did not know each other. Furthermore, they had worked together before this.
“Oh, it’s Ms Yan. It’s my pleasure meeting you.” Su Muran held her hand out as she smiled. However, deep in her delicate and beautiful eyes, there was no trace of happiness.
