Chapter 135: Couldn’t Catch Up the Lines

Yan Huan was comfortable with dancing and she could do some of the movements in martial arts. She seldom made bloopers, she was very conscientious about every step, and the director was pleased with her performance.
So it was unavoidable that she got herself bruised all over by jumping up and down.
“Shall I take a picture of you?” Yi Ling took her phone out with the intention of snapping some photos of Yan Huan’s bruises to show her dedication to her fans.
“No.” Yan Huan held the pillow in her arms and lay down.
“Why?” Yi Ling sat down. “This is a good chance. Am I supposed to hit you with a brick if you want to take the photo in the future?”
“I just don’t want to.” Yan Huan closed her eyes and relaxed.
“This is part of my job, just like the eco-warriors have to brave the scorching sun, electricians have to risk their lives, and waiters have to bow unctuously. This is my job, I make a living by acting, it is common to get injuries and I don’t want the others to think that I am pretentious or pandering for attention. I need to prove that I am tough.”
“Alright.” Yi Ling respected Yan Huan and felt that she was right, so instead she lifted the quilt and tucked her in, then she sat down and checked Yan Huan’s Weibo.
She doesn’t let me take a photo of her bruises, but what about her face?
Huanhuan was extremely beautiful without makeup. Yi Ling moved closer to her and took a photo with a click, then she posted it to Weibo.
Yan Huan slept soundly in the photo, her skin was extremely good though she was bare faced. There were dark circles under her eyes, presumably, she was exhausted.
The fans had a heated discussion in a short while.
The comments were about how it made their heart ache to see her exhausted.
And her skin was so good, she was a real beauty without any makeup or filter.
The next day, Yan Huan took her phone and she discovered that Yi Ling took her photo secretly again when she unlocked her phone. But, Yi Ling had a good eye, though it was sneak-snap, she took it well.
“You should change your profession to become a photographer,” Yan Huan joked.
“This has nothing to do with me.” Yi Ling shrugged her shoulders, Huanhuan is so beautiful, I couldn’t take an ugly photo even if I tried.
Yan Huan adjusted her clothes, she wasn’t very comfortable with being praised. When people gave her compliment she felt nothing at all. She was just born the way she was, her parents had given her these good looks but she had to prove herself in other ways still.
She could reach happiness if she took the right path in life. If she took the wrong path… well, it wouldn’t matter to her but she might implicate others.
She rose to her feet, it was time to go.
She opened the door and walked into the dressing room when she heard someone snort. She turned around and saw Wen Dongni, who already changed into her clothes. Yan Huan remembered that she played the role of a seductive woman in this drama, but she only appeared in a few episodes.
She felt that the character was suitable for Wen Dongni, she had the true qualities to play a seductive woman. But Wen Dongni was really an eyesore to her, and it was more likely that if she raised her hands it would be to slap her rather than give her a hug, after all, Yan Huan had taken parts in two dramas from her.
Wen Dongni wouldn’t take long to rise to fame if Yan Huan didn’t exist in this life. However, everyone has to seize their own chances. Yan Huan didn’t feel that she had stolen something, it wasn’t her fault and it could only be said that Wen Dongni wasn’t as skillful as others.
At first, Wen Dongni would put on a show with Liang Chen but not Yan Huan.
A rivalry with Liang Chen… Wen Dongni thought about it to herself. Though Liang Chen had already achieved the award of best actress, things could change…
Wen Dongni thought about it and deliberately moved a step forward when facing the camera, thus blocking half of the body of Liang Chen.
Positioning was very important to an actor in every shot.
You would be out of the camera shot if you stood too far, but if you stood closer and just right to the position, you might block the leading actress. Though you couldn’t steal her scenes completely, you could put yourself at the center of attention.
Wen Dongni was smart, but she had forgotten who the person behind the camera was.
“Cut!” The director was displeased and he shouted at Wen Dongni. “Wen Dongni, can’t you even position yourself correctly? You’re blocking Liang Chen!”
Wen Dongni’s face turned red and she quickly stepped back. Liang Chen was smiling and a trace of irony flashed across her eyes.
It had been a while since someone tried to steal her spotlight.
What is her name? Wen Dongni, hm, what nerve she has! I like it.
“That’s all right.” Liang Chen waved her hand and smiled beautifully.
Wen Dongni felt pleased secretly as she thought Liang Chen was being very obliging. This didn’t mean, however, that Wen Dongni would give up, after all, Liang Chen said it was fine and Wen Dongni would hate herself if she didn’t take the opportunities given to steal the show.
Looking at such a scene, Yan Huan felt that Wen Dongni was really stupid.
Wasn’t she popular enough in the entertainment circle? Everyone knows of her temper but how could she know nothing of this? She was a smiling tiger, the more she smiled happily, the more sinister ideas were set in her mind.
If you don’t do stupid things, they won’t come back and bite you in the ass. It was quite true.
Wen Dongni laughed secretly, she never cared about the position and stood in front of Liang Chen. But others kept their mouth shut as Liang Chen didn’t say anything.
Liang Chen adjusted her clothing and fluffed her hair. Then a smile crept around on her face and she became Guan Yuexin again.
Artless, adorable, intelligent, and also a trace of evil.
“Eh, who are you?” Guan Yuexin suddenly moved forward and leaped up with a big stride, then she stood in front of Wen Dongni.
Wen Dongni was stunned for a moment, that’s not what the script says, she thought to herself frantically. She hastened to speak- to say anything- but Guan Yuexin moved closer so that her face was right in front of her.
“Why do you look different with me?”
Wen Dongni opened her mouth.
Guan Yuexin seemed to notice something, and she turned her nose up from time to time, sniffing the air. “Why are you giving off such an odd smell? It smells bad.”
Wen Dongni was dumbfounded and couldn’t catch up the lines. She finally reacted and started to speak her lines, but Guan Yuexin stood up straight suddenly and clapped her hands together with a smile.
“I see. You are a fox, but do foxes look like this? Everyone said fox spirits are beautiful, but why are you so ugly?”
Cold sweat kept rolling from Wen Dongni’s brow, she was completely taken aback.
“Cut!” Director Jin shouted. “Wen Dongni, what’s wrong with you?”
