The Male Lead's Substitute Wife

Chapter 177: Accident (2)

Emperor Xu Chengkun reached an arm around her waist and pulled them two closer together before leaning forward, “You please us very much, Noble Lady Shu!”

Noble Lady Shu Su Yaya turned her gaze over and looked at Emperor Xu Chengkun with a charming glance. A sweet smile sprouted on her beautiful face, causing two little dimples to emerge at her cheeks, tugging on Emperor Xu Chengkun’s heartstrings as he held her along to the royal garden...

“Alright, cut!” The director announced loudly. Happily, he looked at Su Yaya who played as Noble Lady Shu and Xu Chengkun who played as the emperor and praised, “Nicely done you two. Your acting was excellent. Go and take a rest and prepared for the next shot.”

“Thank you, director,” Su Yaya quickly responded.

Xu Chengkun also said, “Thank you Director Zhou.”

Director Zhou nodded in satisfaction, especially towards Su Yaya. She was simply impressive. He really liked her as much now as he hated her back then because Su Yaya’s acting was really too good. She had talent and her acting was spiritual. She was clearly just a newbie but she managed to pass a scene in just one take. From all the other times he could see, she was always well prepared for each scene, and when the rare issue crops up maybe once or twice when the acting wasn’t up to par, it was never her problem either, but her co-actor who would end up causing her to have to start over as well.

“Xiao Su, your performance is steadily improving these days. You did very well on that scene earlier. All the emotions were on the spot. Not bad at all! Keep up the good work,” Director Zhou said to her with a smile. “Go prepare for the next scene.”

For someone who hated her to praise her instead made Su Yaya feel very successful. After speaking a few words with Director Zhou, she went to check her makeup.

When Su Yaya entered the temporary makeup room to fix her makeup, she saw that Chen Yan happened to be doing her makeup too. She was going to appear as well in the next scene.

“Hello, Sis Yan.” Su Yaya went forward to greet her with a smile.

Sitting on her chair, Chen Yan smiled at her through the mirror. “I saw your acting earlier. You did very well, not bad at all.”

Su Yaya quickly responded in a humble manner, “Thank you, Sis Yan, but I’m not that good. I can hardly be compared to you at all, Sis Yan. I still have a lot I have to learn from you, I hope you can give me some pointers.”

She was telling the truth. She had seen Chen Yan and Xu Chengkun’s scene before. Chen Yan’s acting skills were above Xu Chengkun’s and he had a film school background, much less someone like her. Even though everyone said that she was gifted, she knew very well that she still had a long way to go from having real acting skills. She hoped that she would be able to do better through her continued learning.

Chen Yan was done with her makeup. She nodded to Su Yaya and got up to leave. “I’ll be going now.”

That was all she said. She did not say anything at all regarding what Su Yaya said about learning from her.

Su Yaya watched her back as she left but she didn’t take her reaction to heart. She found herself a seat and had the makeup artist come do her makeup.

Soon, the next scene began. Su Yaya stood by and watched Chen Yan’s scene with the supporting male lead, Zhang Yue.

She was standing in front of an artificially constructed platform and had her attention fully on Chen Yan and Zhang Yue’s scene, completely oblivious to everything else. She didn’t even notice that there was danger incoming!

So, the second she heard someone shouting “watch out” to her, she reacted slowly to it. Then, he felt a tall figure rushing towards her, and the two of them fell heavily onto the ground.

At the time of danger, Su Yaya was still watching Chen Yan and Zhang Yue’s play quite seriously. She was so into it that she didn’t notice the accident at all. Even when someone yelled for her to watch out, she still didn’t react, thinking that they were talking to someone else, and she ended up staying still.
