Sweet Wife in My Arms

Chapter 299: The Uncle and the Flower

But if Yan Huan was there, it would be problematic. The rest wouldn’t have much conflict with Su Muran since she would definitely get the most outstanding and prettiest role. However, it was different with Yan Huan. She was way better than her in terms of looks, acting or fame. If Yan Huan was there, she would definitely be suppressed. The larger the following of the show, the more she would be suppressed.

Su Muran herself knew too that Yan Huan wasn’t after the role of Xiaolongnu. She wanted the role of Li Mochou. There were scenes between those two characters throughout the show. She knew deep down that she wasn’t a match against Yan Huan.

“I thought it had been decided that she wasn’t allowed into the cast?” Su Muran blamed her manager. This show was heavily invested by her father in order to make her famous. It wasn’t to bring her down.

Her manager had no idea what to reply, “The cast didn’t want to say much but I think you should be able to ask about it.”

Su Muran’s face blackened.

She didn’t have to ask to know who it was.

It was the Ye family. But she couldn’t understand where Yan Huan had come from. She was an orphan with no parents, no power and no means. She couldn’t understand why the Ye family would be on her side all the way. They would even care about the things going on within the cast of The Return of the Condor Heroes. She had wanted to suppress all the shows that Yan Huan could act in to prevent her from picking up any shows. However, she didn’t expect the Ye family to butt in again.

When she returned again, she was evidently in a bad mood. Right at this moment, she was called in for a scolding by Su Qingdong.

“I told you to not anger Yan Huan if there was nothing. You guys have nothing against each other. The Ye family went to find grandad again. Do not think the Ye family do not know about the things you have done. They have long hands that can reach into places even you cannot see.”

“But daddy, I cannot keep let her suppress me right?”

Su Muran lifted her head and showed a wronged look. Su Dongqing felt pity for her.

He walked over and tapped her shoulder.

“She can suppress you now because you aren’t strong enough. If you surpass her one day, with our resources, are you afraid to lose to her? You are Su Muran, a Su person. You were born talented.”

Su Muran had nothing to say after hearing his lecture. This shouldn’t be a problem?

Yes, she had a good education from young and she had the most elite of resources provided for her. But she couldn’t compete against Yan Huan’s acting. All the directors would love to have Yan Huan, a ratings monster.

One of them was a hit while the other was doomed to fail. Even a fool would choose the one that would be a hit.

Her face blackened as she returned to her room. She had no idea what to do now. The Return of the Condor Heroes was about to start filming but she still had to deal with Yan Huan the entire drama. Was she about to be suppressed again?”

“What did you say?” Su Muran sat up suddenly as she asked her manager who had just returned, ‘You said Su Muran is giving up on this show?”

“Yep,” Her manager quickly replied. “She is planning to film another show called Game Lake. The budget isn’t big but she is the first female lead. She signed the contract pretty quickly.”

“Why?” Su Muran didn’t understand. Any fool would know to act in The Return of the Condor Heroes and not a small budget show.

“This...” her manager had nothing to say. “Perhaps she couldn’t join any shows then and could only choose this one. She might have signed it as soon as possible in fear that she wouldn’t be able to act in this. Or perhaps she is the first female lead in this but the second female lead in The Return of the Condor Heroes.”

“Fool!” Su Muran could finally rest easy.

Game Lake and The Return of the Condor Heroes started filming almost at the same time. The lensing ceremony for the latter was a huge event. Many stars turned up since it was a major show that was directed by Director Yan Hua. Of course many stars would turn up in support.

As for Game Lake, it was way more toned down. It was just a meal with everyone and there was no press conference. It started filming quietly.

Game Lake was a time travelling drama where the characters travelled from a game into the past. The main character had the powers he had in the game with him where he could grow herbal medicine. It then followed his journey in the ancient world.

This was a comedy and everyone’s mood were incredibly relaxed while filming. There was much laughter. As compared to the set of The Return of the Condor Heroes, Yan Huan was more relaxed in this cast.

Game Lake had an expected filming time of 3 months and by that time, the show was almost done filming. This show didn’t have much meaning to it but it was incredibly funny and was an exceptionally relaxing show for others to watch.

When Game Lake finished filming, The Return of the Condor Heroes was only one-third completed. It would take them till next year to be released at this pace.

Luo Lin asked Yan Huan if she wanted to rest. She didn’t want to, she needed to film another show, a Chinese New Year film. She liked to star in those less popular films with low budget. It might be low budget but it brought about shocking box office ratings.

She picked up another ordinary show this time, a show that left one laughing from start to finish. She acted as a lady from a small village who almost became a prostitute after being cheated by someone. She ran out and met a wacko man. He had no money nor power and was a little foolish. The lady was kind enough to bring him home at the end of the day. Along the way, they did everything. They collected bottles, washed the dishes, sang for a living. The handsome man was a little dumb but was a good friend. He used the money the lady made to start a business and quickly earned enough money. The lady brought the mentally ill man throughout the journey and he got better and better. It turns out that this man wasn’t an uncle and he wasn’t old either. His beard was too long which made him looked old. He was a rich man but was kidnapped and injured his head. If it wasn’t for this lady, he would have died from illness or hunger.

At the end of the show, the lady from the village became a phoenix as she lived out the rest of her life perfectly. Even though there were many jokes, this movie had a positive message and brought about innocence and beauty in this materialistic world. Of course, this was only a movie and because it was only a movie, it didn’t need to have any deep meaning. So long as it could bring laughter and make one go to the movie theatres again, it was a success.
