Chapter 450: Interview
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As soon as Yu Han appeared, there was a round of warm applause and shouts below the stage. At this moment, the number of online viewers in the live-stream kept breaking through. Her name was all over the public chat, showing how popular she was.
After Yu Han greeted everyone, she walked past Director Fu Sheng and sat down at the seat at the side that she had originally reserved.
He Meng heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this scene. The other main cast members, especially Su Lan and the other supporting actors, also heaved a sigh of relief. This was because if Yu Han sat in the center, it meant that one of them would have to move out. It also meant that their number of scenes would be reduced greatly.
After Director Fu Sheng was slightly surprised, he felt that this was normal. After all, in his impression, Yu Han was not a frivolous person. Hence, his impression of Yu Han clearly improved when he saw that she could still keep her true nature under such circumstances.
However, even though Yu Han was sitting at the side, the organizers would still look at Yu Han from time to time in order to take care of the audience’s emotions.
Every time Yu Han appeared on camera, the comments in the live-stream would immediately flood in. After the emcee received instructions, he would occasionally cue Yu Han and let her show her face.
Fortunately, He Meng had specially instructed Teacher Xiao before they went on stage to know their limits and not overly praise Yu Han and spend too much time on her. Hence, this occasional interaction did not arouse the disgust of others.
Finally, it was Yu Han’s personal segment. The emcee asked, “Why did Teacher Yu take on this role back then?”
“You can call me Little Yu.” Yu Han took the microphone and said with a smile, “As everyone knows, this is my first role after entering the industry. At that time, it caused some trouble because of this role.”
Yu Han took the initiative to bring up this topic because she wanted to prevent anyone from using Fang Qing’s matter to create hype.
“Fortunately, these storms are over now. Our drama was successfully filmed, and I handed over my first assignment. As for why i took on this role, this question is more or less a little extravagant for a newcomer like me. After all, I’m already very lucky to be able to take on this role. 1 have to thank a good friend of mine. At that time, she contacted me and said that there was a role in the production team that needed someone and asked me to try it out, so I went.”
It was indeed her good friend, Ning Jing, who contacted her back then that gave her this opportunity.
The reason why Ning Jing was on the production team at that time was because her father was one of the investors of “The Splendor of the Republic of China”. Although he did not invest much money, Ning Jing went to the production team to play with them because of her identity as the investor. Hence, she fought for that audition opportunity for Yu Han.
The two of them chatted online several times after that. Yu Han even brought her along in a game once. However, because Yu Han was busy filming and revising, Ning Jing was caught by her father and prepared to go overseas to study. The two of them were very busy, so they did not have the chance to see each other again.
At this moment, Director Fu Sheng took over. “Actually, i was the one who asked Little Yu’s friend for help at that time. For some reason that everyone knows, 1 urgently wanted to find someone to save the situation. Unfortunately, I contacted several actors, but they didn’t have a slot in their schedule. Hence, I asked Little Yu’s friend if she had any good suggestions, so she brought Little Yu here.”
Director Fu Sheng smiled and said, “At that time, I didn’t have much hope. I didn’t expect her to give me a huge surprise. When Little Yu came out after her makeup test, I was already certain that it was her the moment I saw her. She looks exactly like the Wanzhi 1 imagined.”
That was the name of the character Yu Han played.
Some people at the event location and in the live-stream had seen Yu Han’s makeup photo at that time. When they heard that, they immediately remembered and agreed with him.
“At that time, I thought that since she had the character’s looks and temperament, i would tolerate it no matter how bad her acting skills were.” Director Fu Sheng patted his stomach and said happily, “In the end, 1 saw her audition scenes and realized that although Little Yu was young and did not come from a professional school, her acting skills were much better than I had imagined. It was completely an unexpected surprise, so i decided to choose her on the spot..”
