Sweet Wife in My Arms

Chapter 180: Really Acting as the Empress

As she said that, Director Zheng almost doubted his ears, “Miss Yan, what did you say?”

He didn’t hear wrongly did he? What Yan Huan just said: Empress. Did she really want the part of the Empress?

“Yes, I want to act as the empress.”

Yan Huan repeated herself.

“Director Zheng had thought of the roles that Yan Huan would have wanted to play, perhaps it was the role of Imperial Concubine Shu or Senior Concubine Yun. Or perhaps even Imperial Concubine Huang. They were all second or third female lead or maybe even the first female lead. If she had been slightly ambitious, they were all possible. However, he had not expected her to want the part of the empress, an old lady.

When the lady who was auditioning heard what role Yan Huan wanted, she heaved a sigh of relief. She wanted the part of an old lady, then she wouldn’t fight for the role of Senior Concubine Yun with her.

“You really want to act as the Empress?” Director Zheng asked again. He was very serious this time, he wasn’t kidding this time. There was no room for jokes now. Once the roles were fixed, there was no going back. If the actors and actresses’ roles were to switch while filming, there would be many problems. Moreover, this was a big TV show and there cannot be anything happening to anyone while filming. If not if there were to be any disagreements between the actors then, it would be something very troublesome to the entire crew.

“Yes.” Yan Huan answered seriously too. She was sure she wanted the role of the Empress.

“You will not consider it for a while?” Director Zheng couldn’t help but confirm again.

“Yes, there is no need to consider.” Yan Huan nodded her head. She wasn’t considering or changing anymore. She wanted to act as the empress.

“Alright.” Director Zheng respected her decision. Even though he feels that with her beauty, she should act as a young concubine, Yan Huan herself has requested for the role of the Empress and he had to respect her decision.

“Miss Yan, please go back and wait for our call. When we are preparing to film, we will inform you to take the set photos.”

“No auditioning?” Yan Huan understood Director Zheng’s meaning. By asking her to go back like this, it meant she didn’t need to audition.

“Yes. Miss Yan there is no need for you to audition. That is what I mean.” With Yan Huan’s acting skills, there is definitely no need to audition. Director Jin had said before that even though she was young, she was incredibly witty and was able to suffer hardships. More importantly, she was incredibly good at a thing and can compete with actresses who have acted for decades. She wasn’t any worse than Liang Chen and hence, she didn’t need any audition. He believed Director Jin’s views and at the same time, he believed that Yan Huan’s performance in both Love and Tribulations as well as Journey to Fairyland were not for no reason.

When Yan Huan came out, Yi Ling was still using her phone boringly, looking at social media. She wasn’t worried at all that Yan Huan would fail the audition. In fact, she was 100% confident that she would be successful.

Moreover, Yan Huan wanted the role of the Empress. She had very little lines and didn’t need to be very pretty. There weren’t many scenes and no palace fights. Such a role was so easy for Yan Huan, she could have closed her eyes and still gotten the role. On top of that, the main reason they came this time was mainly for show. Her being a part of this show had mainly been fixed already, just like how the role of the first female lead had been set.

When will her Huanhuan be set as the first female lead too? She felt that the time isn’t far from now and she would become famous very soon.

“We can leave now.” Yan Huan walked in front of where Yi Ling was seated.

“The audition is over?” Yi Ling kept her phone and passed Yan Huan’s bag to her.

“There was no auditioning, they asked me to come over to take some set photos in a few days’ time.” Yan Huan took her bag before looking around. There were still many people then who were all here for the audition. As for how many would be selected, it would be hard to say.

Yi Ling shrugged. She wasn’t surprised by this. She was right, Huanhuan had already been chosen to act in this show. Besides those roles that have been reserved, whatever role her Huanhuan wanted, she would have been able to get it. She thought about this gleefully.

Yan Huan didn’t have much thought about this on the other hand. She was finally at the stage where she no longer have to audition.

She touched her face. The wound on it had almost recovered and just as she expected, there was no scar left on her excellent physique. Of course with no scar, one could barely see the wound.

Fatty Yan had already been arrested for more than half a month and even though a potential problem by her side has left, she didn’t sleep well at night. One had to remember that she actually had 2 enemies. The enemy that hadn’t appeared yet was of too high a position and she had no way of dealing with it.

Lu Qin, the grandson of Lu Yuanyang . He has motive and means.

Su Muran, the only child of the Su family. All of their resources were on her.

And in this lifetime, they will not rest till they die.

She closed her eyes, hiding the cold gaze in her eyes.

When they returned, it didn’t mean that Yan Huan could stay at home the whole day and relax to wait for the TV show to start filming. In actual fact, she had to go to the office every day to learn the customs and knowledge on the Qin Dynasty. This was to prepare for the show.

To Yan Huan, this was her first time. She had acted in many films in her past life but the only one she had never acted was a Qing Dynasty film. Hence, she was a bit raw when it came to the customs.

She would rush to the office every morning to attend professional training on the way to stand, move and walk. The company had hired professionals in this area to teach them. Yes them, there were 3 other people in the company who was involved in this production. After all, Yuelun had invested quite a bit in this show and hence, the company had placed great importance on it. They had invested money into this.

Yan Huan dragged both her legs. Besides learning these customs, she had to learn how to walk like an old lady. How to act like an elegant old woman. She was an empress with thousands and thousands of people beneath her. Even the emperor had to be respectful towards her. However, this felt weird.

After about a week, it was time to take the set photos.

Yan Huan was only 21 years old and it was definitely difficult for her to act like an old lady in her late forties. However, she was acting after all and she couldn’t become a real old woman. The make-up artists gave her some wrinkles and made her lips a little droopy.

The clothes she wore had 3 layers. One layer after the other, the clothes from the Qing Dynasty were a little heavy. Especially for the empress, she had to wear dowry worth ten over kilograms on herself.
