Chapter 464: Is Hou Da Trying to Make the Second Female Lead More Important?
[Sisters! I am finally alive again!]
[Oh my god. I can finally live my life like normal again. Seriously though…I hope that this rumor and photograph is really true. Can anyone investigate whether Empress Jiang really bought that pair of cufflinks when she was in Iceland?]
[Ahh! What should I do now? I am really so excited!]
[Dear sisters, make sure to keep your excitement under control! The sugar giver has already said that he will not share any more pictures in the future if this rumor gets out of hand! If that really happens, everything will be gone in the future!][Protect our favourite love line!]
[Protect the sugar giver!]
When Secretary Ho saw that the fans of the love line were actually calling him the sugar giver, he could not help but shudder.
However, at the same time, Secretary Ho also felt very proud of himself when he saw the number of fans who were waiting patiently in anticipation of his next post or update.
Therefore, Secretary Ho added one last comment before he logged off the fan page: “Can I just tell everyone that both of them are really very sweet together every day?”
The fans of the love line went insane and they found it even more difficult to contain their excitement after reading Secretary Ho’s last comment.
[Does this mean that the love line is indeed true?][Ahh! Does this mean that both of them are really together?]
[I am really very excited right now! I am just really very happy because it seems as though our patience and perseverance has finally paid off. The love line that we have been supporting and fighting for is finally true! All we have to do now is to wait patiently until the day Empress Jiang and the heir of the Lu family finally decide to make their relationship public! Wow! This is too good to be true. This is just so cool!]
[I feel like crying right now. After waiting for such a long time, no one can tell me that this love line does not exists anymore! Sob. Sob. If the sugar giver can just share a full frontal picture of the heir of the Lu family, then I will have no more regrets in this life.]
…
At this time, Jiang Yuning did not know what was happening at all because she had already fallen asleep in the car.
The journey to the training location was not smooth and it was quite a bumpy ride. Therefore, as Jiang Yuning was sleeping in the car, she kept bumping her head against the window but she would always continue sleeping after getting woken up from her sleep.
Vera did not worry that much about her anymore because she knew that when Jiang Yuning arrived at the training location, she would definitely be alert because she would never reflect or show that she was exhausted or in pain whenever she had work to do.
After a six hours’ long drive, Jiang Yuning finally arrived at the location. At this time, Su Jinhang was the only person who had already arrived at the location.
Su Jinhang had finally gotten rid of the shackles that was holding him back from progressing in his career. Therefore, he was willing to work harder than anyone else as he was currently even more determined to prove himself.
“Sister Yuning!”
It was naturally cooler on the mountains compared to the city.
After Jiang Yuning heard her name, she quickly greeted Su Jinhang as she held on tightly to her thick coat. “You arrived so early?”
“I just arrived not too long ago,” Su Jinhang replied as he smiled.
“Did you drive here on your own?”
“Well, the scenery along the way is worth the drive at least,” Su Jinhang smiled once again.
Jiang Yuning knew that Su Jinhang was only trying to act as though he was happy and contented even though he was suffering. This was because his agency had taken back everything he had except for an assistant. Le Xuan had done everything to ensure that Su Jinhang would continue to struggle in his career progress.
“Do not hesitate to let me know if you need my help.”
Su Jinhang shook his head vigorously before he refused with a smile. “You have already helped me enough. I have already caused you enough trouble along the way so please let me try to do this on my own this time.”
Jiang Yuning was very pleased with how far Su Jinhang’s determination and how far he had come, so she smiled back at him.
“Teacher Jiang. Teacher Su.” The production crew greet the both of them as they gathered in front of the homestay. “Both of you can enter the homestay and rest for a short while as we wait for the rest of the crew and actors to arrive before we start our script reading session.”
At this time, they were standing in front of a quaint and beautiful homestay. Since they would be filming here for about a month, the production team had already booked the entire homestay for the entire month before they would then transit to a new filming location.
Therefore, most of the intensive training and script reading sessions would be conducted at this location.
Jiang Yuning and Su Jinhang entered the homestay before they took their seats at the chairs marked with their own names. At this time, both of them started reading their own scripts. About half an hour later, some of the other actors and actresses finally arrive at the scene and the production crew members started rushing in one after another.
The second female lead also appeared in front of Jiang Yuning and Su Jinhang at this moment.
She had a very pure and innocent look on her face, and she had long black hair that was flowing over her shoulders. She had a beautiful small face with a sharp nose and she looked very pleasant and innocent at first sight.
The second female lead did not dare to talk to Jiang Yuning or Su Jinhang, perhaps because she felt a little embarrassed or intimidated by them. Therefore, as soon as she entered the homestay with her assistant, she sat down at her own seat without saying anything at all.
Jiang Yuning heard that the most important reason why Hou Da had chosen this girl as the second female lead was because of her acting skills. The role of the second female lead was one of a villain. Initially, Hou Da thought that a fresh graduate would definitely not be able to pull off the role of such a major villainous character. Unexpectedly, Hou Da was captivated as soon as she saw her acting skills.
A few dozen other actors and actresses also came in immediately after, followed by the director and Hou Da, who was not only the author of the drama but was also the screenwriter for this drama production.
No one would have expected the two most inexperienced lead actor and actress to be the first people to arrive at the location.
Jiang Yuning had already flipped through half of the script that she had in her hand.
They initially thought that a popular artiste such as Jiang Yuning would definitely throw some airs.
Hou Da took the opportunity to look at Jiang Yuning as she glanced at the script that she was holding onto.
Jiang Yuning had made various annotations and she had also written the biographies of each of the characters in the drama in her script. It seemed as though Jiang Yuning had really put in a lot of effort in preparing for this drama.
As for her acting ability and skills, Hou Da would only be able to find out later.
During the first intensive reading of the script, there were some actors and actresses who started asking about the emotional line in the drama. However, it seems as though there were not many emotional or romantic scenes in this drama compared to the initial storyline in the original novel. Moreover, it seemed as though the second female lead had more emotional and romantic scenes as compared to the first female lead.
Hou Da looked at Jiang Yuning before she answered their question.
“I just feel that the audience are now demanding more and more quality form a drama production. As long as the drama is produced with high standards, and as long as the core of the entire drama and the representation of the characters are accurately portrayed, then the drama would still be a huge success even without any romantic scenes.”
In fact, Duan Hanyan was a very emotional and affectionate character, but ultimately, she would not be able to express her feelings even at the end of the drama. She was a very pitiful and sad character.
Anyway, since Hou Da had already removed even the last hugging scene just because of Jiang Yuning, she could only trust that Jiang Yuning’s acting skills would be amazing enough to make sure that the drama turned out to be a huge success.
Moreover, the most dangerous thing for Jiang Yuning was the fact that it was very difficult to grasp Duan Hanyan’s character. As long as Jiang Yuning did not express the character accurately, then her limelight would most likely be stolen by the second female lead who dared to love and hate.
The character of the second female lead was also very outstanding.
Jiang Yuning lowered her head because she did not know what to say.
Everyone thought that Hou Da was the one who had removed all of the first female lead’s intimate and romantic scenes. Therefore, they felt very anxious for Jiang Yuning because this meant that she had to fulfill and measure up to a much heavier expectation.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuning did not panic at all but she continued reading her script in a calm and composed manner. Jiang Yuning also gave some pointers and suggestions to some of the other actresses because she was an old and loyal fan of the original novel, and thus had some insight that could help everyone else to understand their role.
After an intensive morning, the other actors and actresses, who were initially devoted to gossiping, finally reduced their resistance against Jiang Yuning.
However, most of them were still not convinced.
They believed that they would only find out the truth later.
After the training that morning, Jiang Yuning and Su Jinhang walked to the cafeteria together to have their lunch. However, there were still people who were secretly discussing this matter behind their backs.
“Is Hou Da trying to make the second female lead more important? Otherwise, why else would she have removed all the romantic and intimate scenes between the two lead characters? From the looks of it, it seems as though the second female lead is going to take over the role of the first female lead eventually.”
“I think so too. Hou Da is probably just interested in Jiang Yuning’s popularity and the attention that the drama would get because of her. After all, I heard that the actress playing the role of the second female lead is really very talented. Moreover, she also has a very strong background to back her up.”
