Chapter 683: Three Years Of Preparation
“How about you?” Ye Shuyun asked Yan Huan. “Do you want to continue to stay at home?”
“Yes, I’m not going out anymore, Luo Lin is coming over in a bit,” Yan Huan lowered her head and took another sip of the soup. She wanted to discuss with Luo Lin about the film she was going to produce for the following new year special. Since she decided to continue living, she had to live a good life. She wanted Lu Yi to see her success and watch as she created miracle after miracle. By then, he would definitely be proud of her. She would leave more photos on his desktop for him to witness her proudest moments.
Ye Shuyun had no intention to force Yan Huan into anything. After all, Yan Huan had only recovered and it was best for her to recuperate at home. Moreover, the weather nowadays was rather chilly. It would be bad if she came down with a cold. Besides, Madam Lei would constantly stay by her side.
Not long after Ye Shuyan left, Luo Lin arrived as Yan Huan expected.
She was carrying a large load of items in her arms as she entered the house.
“This is the script that you wanted,” she announced as she placed it in front of Yan Huan.
“I’ve hired an excellent screenwriter to revise the script. You can take a look and let me know if you want to amend anything else.”
Yan Huan flipped through the script. He’s indeed a good scriptwriter. She was very satisfied with the script. She expected that they would take a longer time to produce this movie compared to White Fox as she intended to make her debut in Hollywood with this movie. Even if it did not win an award, it had to be nominated for some of the categories.
She closed the script and said, “Yes, this is fine. How about the things I told you to prepare?” In fact, she had been formulating and refining this plan for the past few years. Now, she was merely curious about the progress.
“It has been three years. What do you think?” Luo Lin sat down as she continued, “We hired the best people to form the post-production team. From early designing until now, we’ve spent an enormous amount of manpower, materials and time. I reckon that the result would be evident soon. Before this, I thought that you were just going with the flow, but it seems that you have every detail hammered out perfectly.”
“Yes, I’ve planned everything accordingly,” Yan Huan nodded as she picked up the script again. “I have always wanted to produce this film. I want the best of everything for this movie, including the graphics, the plot and the cast.”
“I think I can truly make this one count.” Yan Huan smiled.
This was her boldest attempt ever at a large-scale production. Moreover, this was not her forte during her past life. Hence, she had to pick up the reins and explore during the process. She stumbled upon this script by chance and she was immediately intrigued. Her heart was captivated by the story. Back then, Lu Yi had once expressed his anticipation toward this movie. According to him, this was the movie that he was the most excited for in the few years to come.
Hopefully, it will première next year. Yan Huan made a promise to herself. She believed that Lu Yi would be able to see this. She wanted to be his eyes and witness all the beautiful things in this world on Lu Yi’s behalf.
Nevertheless, she was very pleased with the script and she did not think that it needed any other amendments.
“When do you plan to appear in public again? Everyone might forget about you if you refuse to make your presence known for any longer.”
“Just a while more,” Yan Huan assured as she stood up and walked to the window. Then, she drew the curtains, letting the warm sunlight shine into the room that was initially blanketed in darkness. She had not left her home for a long time. Besides, she no longer had the desire to go out.
“I don’t want anyone to mention his name. I don’t want any sympathy because of him. To me, he is still alive, safe and sound and always by my side.”
“Let’s wait until the buzz of that incident dies down, and when his death is forgotten about. Then, I’ll make my appearance.”
She took a step forward and pressed her face onto the cold glass window. It was colder on the outside and the atmosphere was depressing due to the dark and gloomy sky, to the extent that it felt as though she was almost suffocated.
“Is it going to snow?” she asked. “I want to see him now.”
Luo Lin shook her head as she slowly packed up the items on the table, planning to leave soon.
“Up to you. You’re too skinny, please eat more and gain some weight before we discuss this any further.”
“Sure,” Yan Huan smiled. However, deep within her gaze was a heart-wrenching sorrow that might just last forever.
Yan Huan placed a bouquet of flowers before Lu Yi’s tomb. Then, she gently wiped off the dust on the headstone with her fingers. There was a picture adorning the tombstone that represented the final year of a person’s life. It might be a picture of a young boy or an old man. Regardless, their time had came to an end and their lives had passed on. The only thing that was left behind was this picture that stayed forever in their kin’s heart.
“Just as we expected, Lu Qin wanted to lay his dirty hands on Linlang. You made the right choice to place Linlang under Lei Qingyi and Yi Ling’s name. Now that you’re away and I’m sick and locked at home, Lu Qin had thought that there was no one left to contest him for Linlang’s ownership rights. Even Su Muran believed that to be true. Do you think that she is regretting now? She has entrusted her entire life to a man like Lu Qin. They had been together for a long time in their past lives, yet they were never really a true couple. Lu Qin and Su Muran both had their own agendas. It’ll sound like a joke to me if someone claims that there’s true love between them.”
“However, their love lives have nothing to do with me,” she sighed as she leaned her face on the gravestone. “I miss you. It’ll be nice to have you here now. Then, you can witness how the villainous couple execute their evil schemes together. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I’ve grown stronger and I’ll break free. I’ll take good care of myself and will not be bothered and disturbed by that hideous couple anymore.”
“Yet, I really wish to know how Lu Qin is going to find another Yan Huan now that Su Muran is sick?”
“Where do you think I should go then? Lu Qin is a relentless and persistent man when he wants to achieve his goal. Therefore, you have nothing to worry about. To ensure the success of my plan, I’ll lay low for at least one year. When I return in the future, I reckon everything will already be finalized.”
She closed her eyes, but her face remained on the cold and icy tombstone. Her Lu Yi was a lot warmer and softer than this headstone. Yet, she refused to leave.
She would turn 26 years old next year. Su Muran would be severely affected by the disease by then. Before that happened, they would have to face against each other. That would be the real beginning of their rivalry. A fight between Su Muran and Yan Huan, determining who was the best international actress.
In this lifetime, I will take back what I lost in my previous life, including the grand prize that I owe myself. In order to achieve her goal, she had a plan to premiere her movie, that took three years of production, on an international movie festival.
