BXBX NOVEL Chapter 297
Chapter 297: Her Role Has Been Stolen
“My daughter, my god, it is a doll of my daughter. And it is autographed.”
“Yes, she signed it herself,” he took another over and handed it to Ye Shuyun.
“This is for Aunt, help me pass it to her.”
“Don’t worry, count on me,” Ye Shuyun almost slapped her chest in promise. However, the two dolls were different-one was in period clothing while the other was in modern clothes. She didn’t want to give away any of them; she wanted to keep both.
“That’s right,” she turned her head and stared at her son. “Why haven’t you left?”
Alright, Lu Yi understood. He wasn’t needed anymore. He turned around and walked towards his room. Ye Shuyun was still holding the two dolls outside. She didn’t know which one to choose.
Lu Yi went into his room and laid down. He closed his eyes when suddenly, he broke into a small smile. The coldness had disappeared and was replaced by warmth.
“There are the latest scripts. You might not be able to rest again.”
Luo Lin carried some scripts back, “Li Changqing treats you well. You have the best scripts again.”
“Isn’t someone better?” Yan Huan took over one of them and started flipping.
“Do you mean Su Muran?”
Luo Lin sat down. She didn’t guess incorrectly. Yan Huan was talking about Su Muran.
“Who else if not her?” Yan Huan pouted. “She is the real newcomer and the first female lead role had become a supporting role because of her. The emperor was given to a small actor. She has face and even more money.”
“Oh...” Luo Lin heard it, “It seems as if you don’t really like her?”
“Do you like her?” Yan Huan asked Luo Lin back.
“No,” Luo Lin was honest too. “Even though she always had many resources, but the more exceptional others are, the helpless she became. It wasn’t easy for her to clean herself up.”
“If the role was yours, I believe you can do better.”
Luo Lin stared at Yan Huan’s beautiful side profile. This small girl had something intoxicating about her. Just like a cup of sake, refreshing and leaving a lingering scent at the back of one’s teeth.
Yan Huan smiled. She wasn’t Su Muran. She had no father and their fathers couldn’t compete against each other.
“What about this?” Yan Huan handed over the script she had chosen to Luo Lin.
Luo Lin took it over, “This is not bad: The Return of the Condor Heroes. Even though it has been reproduced many times, every single version has been exciting. Which role do you want?”
Yan Huan held up her own face on the table. “I want to act...” That’s right, what did she want to act?
“Xiaolongnu?”
Yan Huan rolled her eyes. If she didn’t act that, who else could she act as?
“Huang Rong?”
Luo Lin asked again.
“That’s worse, Rong’er is quite annoying in this drama.”
“Guo Fu?”
“Hate that too.”
“Lu Wu Shuang?”
“Nothing special.”
“Then what do you want to act as, it cannot be Granny Sun right?” In Yan Huan’s past experience, she has acted as a granny before.
“That is fine too,” Yan Huan wasn’t against this but Luo Lin wanted to kick Yan Huan in the head. “You are a fine girl; why do you like to act such roles?’ She didn’t even mention the Empress role that she had chosen previously because it was indeed a good role. But she couldn’t have the intention of dabbling with the role of Granny Sun, could she?
“Give up on Granny Sun,” Luo Lin wasn’t Yi Ling who had no limits when it came to Yan Huan’s requests. Moreover, that woman was nowhere to be found. She had been eating and drinking everyday with Lei Qingyi.
“Alright,” Yan Huan shrugged. She didn’t really entertain the thought of acting as Granny Sun either. She didn’t really like the role of Xiaolongnu in the show either. She liked Li Mochou: someone who dared to love and dared to hate. Of course, this was a classic and was waiting for someone to break out of that mold.
“I want to act as Li Mochou. Someone else can have xiaolongnu.”
“Okay...” Luo Lin gave it some thought. It was possible too. After all, Li Mochou had quite a lot of scenes too. As for Xiaolongnu, to put it nicely, she was gullible. But to put it plainly, she was a little dumb.
Perhaps she was a goddess in many people’s eyes but to Luo Lin, she didn’t like that role at all. She preferred a character and role with more soul and flesh. Someone like Li Mochou fit the profile.
It was decided then. She would discuss this with Yi Ling. Since Yan Huan and Luo Lin both chose Li Mochou, Yi Ling wouldn’t say no either so long as she had food to eat. She had completely lost control of herself and she hadn’t seen how fat she had become recently.
Luo Lin shook her head. She would contact Li Changqing in a while to discuss the script.
However, it wasn’t long before Luo Lin went back to Yan Huan and frowned.
“What’s role? Has my role been removed and I can only act as Granny Sun?”
“You can still laugh?” Luo Lin threw the script onto the table, “You cant even have the role of Granny Sun now. The role of Xiaolongnu has been decided. It is Su Muran. Li Changqing has informed me that you cannot be a part of this cast. Your Li Mochou role is gone. You suppressed Su Muran’s acting in Beauty. Do you think she will let you act in this? I think you can forget about acting in any shows that has her in the future. You don’t have to snatch any role from her anymore.”
“Then I will not act in this,” Yan Huan chose another script from the pile. “This one, take a look.”
She wasn’t very interested in the role of Li Mochou to begin with. Moreover, Su Muran was acting as Xiaolongnu; this show would definitely bomb. Such a thunderous Xiaolongnu, with such a thunderous actress. Why would she still want the role?
Luo Lin took the script and started flipping through it. It was a comedic period drama but the investment in this show was way smaller than The Return of the Condor Heroes’s. It was only a tenth of it. Did she really want to act in the show?
“The script is decent but it has a small budget. You might not get much pay.”
“Don’t worry. I do not lack money now.” Yan Huan really wasn’t strapped of cash now. She could get a few endorsements now and she would have more than enough. Moreover, she has been getting most of her money from movies.
What she needed now was a good name, a show with high ratings.
This comedy was more of a period drama. Game Lake. It was a time travelling show too. Such shows weren’t common as of now and it was kind of a new experience. If course, this show got the formula right. She was about to take on this show in her past life but she had met Lu Qin right about this time. She had fallen for his sweet words and didn’t pick up this drama then. The show was unexpectedly successful back then and she was full of regrets.
