Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 317 - Can You Travel In Your Condition?

The script reading continued till 2 pm. They didn't take any breaks in between because they had lunch after finishing it and after that, they all needed to board the bus to go back.

After the script reading ended, Mr. Han got up from his seat and clapped his hands to praise everyone. " Good work everyone. Because of you guys, we were able to finish this script reading on time. I hope I get to see this same energy on sets as well." he laughed as others played along.

Xie Ming just smiled when she heard Mr. Han's words. She thought that this would be easy but only this script reading made her physically and mentally tired.

She never thought that only acting like an Empress could be so tiring. Now she was kind of afraid about the shooting.

She felt that her respect for actors have increased so much when she attended only this script reading.

Yuan Lei also laughed along with Mr. Han's words and said, " Don't worry director Han. We all will work hard. This is just the script reading that's why they couldn't show you their real talent. I am sure they will do better at the real shooting." she said these words with a warm smile on her face.

" I will also help them as a senior and will help them. You don't need to worry because of these newbies. They will start learning slowly. I will help them learn how to act." she said with such a warm smile that anyone could think that she is a very warm-hearted person.

But her words were hinting that others were not good enough and she will teach them. Everyone saw how she was looking at saying Xie Ming while speaking about teaching them.

When she said those words, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became too quiet.

Everyone felt uncomfortable because except her everyone took this script reading very seriously and acted like they were shooting.

The cameraman has evidence of it. While shooting, he can see how everyone was doing incredible also they look good on screen.

Especially, Xie Ming, she was new to this field, yet her expressions were on point. She outstood among everyone the most.

Her visuals were more beautiful than any other actresses. She was wearing the least makeup but it shows that she was naturally beautiful that she doesn't even need makeup.

Director Han pursed his lips hearing Yuan Lei's words. He was trying to ignore her at first but when he heard her words, he felt that she was shameless.

She is saying that everyone didn't take script reading. Is she talking about others or herself? Because only she was the one who wasn't interested and did his lines she was just reading them.

Mr. Han thought that she only started so she was nervous, that's why encouraged saying that she can do well and she picked up the character later.

But he only complimented her to make her better but her acting became worse when she tried later.

And she is talking about teaching others? Will she teach them to act badly? Is that what she means?

He was tired because of her. He was afraid now that he picked up the wrong person for the acting.

He needed the funding at that time and when he got an offer to cast Yuan Lei as the female lead for the movie in exchange for investment, he thought for a while and agreed to this request.

Because when he decided to make a movie, not everyone was supportive of him making a historical movie because it was his first time making one.

So he had to struggle a little to get these investments because historical movies are less profitable than historical dramas.

But now, he has got a big investment from the biggest business tycoon in the country and it will be beneficial for his movie to be connected with his name.

He got successful in getting investment from such a corporation and they asked to invest in his movie themselves. That was truly a compliment for him.

….

Mr. Han looked at Yuan Lei and said with stern expressions, " Yuan Lei, I want you to take the script and read it properly. I won't tolerate it if you keep forgetting your lines at the shooting. You need to show your passion if you want to work in this movie."

" I won't go easy on anybody. When it comes to working, I am very strict. I hate people when they become lazy and take things for granted. So work hard, will you?" he looked at Yuan Lei and without hesitation spoke his mind.

" I don't need you to teach anyone, but can you take care of yourself? If you do that, I will be glad."

He now is not afraid of Yuan Lei's backing because he got another investment bigger than the former and the new investor does not have any unfavorable demands as well.

So why does he have to worry about Yuan Lei anymore? If she can't work hard, then he won't hesitate to change her.

Yuan Lei's face turned crimson red. She didn't expect Mr. Han to lash out at her in front of everyone.

She was speaking very politely yet he reprimanded her. She clenched her fists tightly as she tried to force a smile on her face.

" Mr. Han, I am working hard. Despite everyone's rude behavior towards me, I am trying my best to get along with everyone. Yet you don't think that I am not hardworking enough? Then I don't know what to do to show my sincerity." she solemnly said as she looked at Mr. Han with her pursed lips.

She was trying to be a victim in front of Mr. Han and also wanted to show Xu Lan that she won't keep quiet about their arrogant behavior towards her.

But her words didn't melt Mr. Han's heart even a bit. He knows how she is. He sighed lightly and looked at her and said firmly, " Yuan Lei, if you want to work in this movie, you need to behave yourself. I won't tolerate any rude behavior and I don't want my artists to fight like this. "

"So don't make everyone's life hard by doing this. Just focus on your acting, that will be best for everyone."

After saying his words, Mr. Han didn't look at her and shifted his attention to everyone and said, " Everyone, I have something to do, so I will not join you for lunch because I have to go somewhere else for work. After lunch, you all can go back to S city. In a few days, Xu Lan will mail you and your managers about your schedule. By then, you need to focus on your acting and start reading your lines properly, so that the shooting won't be disrupted because of you."

His warm expressions turned sour when he said the last line preferably hinting to someone special who thinks that she became the best actress after winning one award.

No one speaks anything after listening to Mr. Han's words. It was Wu Sheng who broke the awkward silence and said to Mr. Han, " We will work hard, Mr. Han. Don't worry. You can go onto your business without worry. We will mind our behavior."

Mr. Han looked at him with pleasant eyes and nodded, " I'll see you guys on shooting then. " after that Mr. Han waved his hand at everyone as he left the conference room with a slight smile on his face.

After Mr. Han and Xu Lan left, the atmosphere was extremely quiet and awkward. Han Ling was so scared seeing Yuan Lei's gloomy expressions that she didn't dare to breathe loudly leave alone speaking.

Wu Sheng didn't bother by Yuan Lei and turned to Xie Ming whose condition was looking better than before and her face color has returned as well. But she was looking tired as her eyes were hazy as well.

" You okay? Can you still travel on a bus with your condition?" he asked her worriedly.

After lunch, they needed to board the bus, so he was worried if she could manage to travel for long in her condition.

Before Xie Ming could say anything, she heard a loud noise while startled her.

She looked towards the source of the noise and found Yuan Lei's chair which had fallen on the ground with a ' Bam' sound.

Yuan Lei was so angered by Mr. Han's words, that she can't stand to look at everyone at this moment, so she angrily turned which made her chair fall on the ground and she left the room angrily.

Wu Sheng was displeased with her behavior as a frown appeared on his forehead. He doesn't like her behavior at all.
