Chapter 123
Chapter 123: She Shines in Every Shot
Yan Huan went to the set by company car. There were a few other people in the company who also participated in this drama, but they played just minor roles, and Yan Huan was the only one who played a character as big as Qing Yao from the beginning to the end.
When she arrived at the set, everyone else had already arrived. In fact, there was little difference between now and the previous life, most of the roles had gone to the same actors. Only Yan Huan was new and thus brought a different feeling to the set.
She saw Liang Chen’s team at the set, and she already knew Liang Chen was the first female lead. Yi Ling was excited when she saw her.
“Huanhuan, look! That’s Liang Chen, the movie queen Liang Chen, it’s really her! I want to ask for her autograph.”
Yi Ling and Yan Huan had, in fact, grown up watching Liang Chen’s dramas. Since Journey to Fairyland was quite generous with their budget, they had gotten Liang Chen to join the cast, presumably the drama would automatically be popular because of her.
Yan Huan was happy with the path she had chosen, as not everyone could put on a play with Liang Chen, whose dramas all become classics.
Liang Chen was the age of 32 but she was still looked like a much younger woman. It wouldn’t feel weird even she played a 16-year-old girl, and also the superb make-up and lighting would make the female look even prettier and younger.
Of course, the special effects used in this drama was excellent- no one could make a film comparable to Journey to Fairyland for years. It was a fine work and thus no one could surpass it.
The cast sat down together to get to know one another, and it was obvious that Liang Chen was the first female lead. She was definitely a movie queen and her aura compelled her peer’s admiration without a word.
Liang Chen had to meet everyone as well. Though a well seasoned actress, she was modest and unassuming. As everyone else began to get to know each other due to their nature of work, Liang Chen didn’t spend as much time, as both new and old faces didn’t mean much to her.
However, there was one person who interested her, which was Yan Huan. She was too young at the age of just 20. Though she only played the second female lead, it was an important role. It caused Liang Chen to ponder the situation.
Liang Chen didn’t believe that an actress without any performance experience could have good acting skills. To tell the truth, she wouldn’t believe that she joined the cast by her acting alone.
She felt a little bit uncomfortable putting on a rival show with such a person. Thus, she didn’t like Yan Huan as she was prejudiced by her own first impressions.
Yan Huan didn’t know anything about it. This was the first time she met such an international movie queen like Liang Chen, but she didn’t like her.
They worked together during the full-costume photo shoot, but of course Yan Huan didn’t steal the time or attention meant for Liang Chen. She stood patiently behind her senior acting partner and let her work.
Liang Chen couldn’t help but steal a glance at Yan Huan.
It had to be said that Yan Huan exuded a pleasant aura in this ancient costume, her eyes were bright and her skin was smooth, there was nothing comparable between a woman of twenty and a woman of thirty.
Though Liang Chen had good skin, and others would say that she still looked like a young girl, she no longer was. Well-preserved and young, the two couldn’t be mentioned in the same breath.
Liang Chen was most depressed these days because of her lacking youth; no matter how advanced the skin cares products were, no matter how much money she had, it was impossible to buy her age back, and seeing others only made her lost youth more obvious.
Time was a butcher’s knife, they hadn’t had enough of it to reflect on their life experiences, but they were already in old age.
Liang Chen had proved herself a superstar: her stage presence was extremely good, even without instructions from the photographer. She was already done with her part, and the shooting had gone smoothly.
On the stage, her eyes were bright and her smile was natural. She looked like a girl in her late teens. The ability to change from thirty to eighteen was exactly what she was capable of.
Yan Huan looked at Liang Chen, she recalled herself at that time. She didn’t know when she would be able to reach achievements like Liang Chen. The most glorious period in her previous life was at her age of 23. But what was the condition when she was 32, was she old or young, happy or confused?
“Yan Huan, it’s your turn.”
Someone suddenly called her name. Yan Huan was stunned for a moment before she could react, then she quickly smoothed her clothes and ran over. But Liang Chen had already left.
Yan Huan stood in front of the flash bulb, she stood at every angle and her eyes changed. The photographer was frozen for a moment, she looked superb in the shot.
“As I said.” Director Jin smiled at the others, “She shines in every shot, she’s photogenic and beautiful, she understands nearly everything without the need to explain.”
Is she really that good? The others had their reservations, whether she was good or bad, they had to wait and see to make a judgment. But, apparently, there were still a few people who didn’t believe in her.
“You guys will see later on.” Direction Jin smiled, they hadn’t work together with Yan Huan so they might not know, but he had experienced her performance and was very confident in her acting skills.
The time when Journey to Fairyland started shooting was the beginning of the broadcast of Love and Tribulations. Presumably those who disputed her acting would know whether he chose the wrong person and what Yan Huan was really capable of.
When the image was out, Yi Ling updated Yan Huan’s Weibo page.
The girl in the white dress in the photo looked exquisite and beautiful like a painting. The girl’s features were able to shine through brightly because she wasn’t wearing much makeup, and her skin was smooth and beautiful as a pearl. Her lips arched up slightly and her eyes sparkled; she was as beautiful as an angel. It didn’t need a single explanation, the photo said everything.
Yellow Polka Dot: “My goddess is so beautiful, goddess, please accept my knee, I’m going to kneel down, your appearance, your figure, your temperament, goddess, I can’t live without you.”
