Chapter 279: First to Second Female Lead

Yan Huan refused to listen any more once she heard what Luo Lin had to say

Being replaced was something very common in the entertainment industry. However, she had never been replaced before in both her lifetimes. She earned a living from acting and any director who knew what was good wouldn’t replace an actress like her for someone else.

“What did Director Jin say?” Yan Huan asked Luo Lin. Director Jin had personally promised to give her the first female lead. If it wasn’t for this promise, she wouldn’t have made changes to her schedule to act in his show.

Now she was told that she was being replaced. Even if that was so, shouldn’t she have an explanation?

“Director Jin didn’t say much, he only asked me to apologise on his behalf.” Luo Lin sighed before extending her hand and patted her on the shoulder. “Actually even if he doesn’t say, I already know why. It must have been from the top and someone must have a very strong backing to replace you as the first female lead.”

“Then what am I acting as?”

“The second female lead.” Luo Lin said helplessly. “Yan Huan, you make the decision. If you do not want to act in this, I will help you turn it down. We can find some other shows to act in. I have a few more at hand but they are all released a little later.”

Yan Huan didn’t have much love for the role of the second female lead right now, but she could consider the second female lead role for Beauty. It wasn’t out of the question.

It was a pity to lose a show where she could be the first female lead. She was definitely a little uncomfortable.

“Can I know who is replacing me?”

Yan Huan asked Luo Lin. She really wanted to know who had such a strong backing to be able to replace her. She had just won the best newcomer award and was basking in glory. Even a normal sponsor couldn’t replace her this easily as she can earn money for the entire show.

“I think she is called...”

Luo Lin frowned. “it is a very unfamiliar name, I heard she had just returned from studies overseas.

However what was it? She couldn’t remember.

That is right. She suddenly remembered.

“She is called Su Muran.”

“Su Muran!”

Yan Huan stood up abruptly. The colour drained from her face and Luo Lin was incredibly weirded out by how agitated she was. “Why Yan Huan, do you know her?”

I guess so. Yan Huan sat back down and returned to her usual calmness. But only she knew then that there was much turbulence in her heart.

Su Muran.

Heh, its her. It really is her. That isn’t surprising. With her backing, it wasn’t difficult to bring Su Muran up. However, she didn’t understand why Su Muran appeared early in this lifetime.

Could it be that her life track has changed and hence, others had also changed? But whatever the case was, Su Muran had appeared before her now.

It was earlier than expected but it was the same. She had chosen to walk this path but she had no idea whether in this lifetime, would she crush Yan Huan or would Yan Huan beat her down?

“Su Muran, what is her background?” Luo Lin asked Yan Huan. She could tell that Yan Huan recognised her but she had no idea who she was despite being in this industry for such a long time. How could Yan Huan know who she was?

“Her background?” Yan Huan smiled. Her gaze was incredibly cold.

“She is the daughter of the affluent Su family in Sea City. She studied in a prestigious arts school in the UK and had received an elite education since she was young. What kind of background do you think she has? She only wants a first female lead role now, not just any first female lead role. So long as she takes a liking for, the Su family will help her get her hands on it.

They had to fight with their face, their acting skills and their opportunities.

But Su Muran just needed to fight using her dad.

In her past life, Yan Huan had lost against her. She stole all of Yan Huan’s glory and her diva position. She almost bled Yan Huan dry and had exchanged her life for Yan Huan’s fix months old baby.

In this life, she had no idea if she would be able to escape that and whether Yan Huan would still be as foolish.

“Su family?” Luo Lin thought of all the established family in Sea City. All of them controlled a huge portion of the wealth in Sea City.

There was the Lu family. They had immense control over the media.

Another was the Ye family. Their family was related to the Lu family but they were incredibly secretive. They wouldn’t appear in the public eye usually but their influence was no less important than the Lu family. Another was the Lei family. They were a traditional family that always had their influence.

The last one was the Su family. They were incredibly rich with their company business all over the country and globally. They were in all the money-making industries and their influence were comparable to the other families. The Su family didn’t have many male offspring and there was only a daughter in this generation. Could that person be Su Muran?

If it was really that Su family, it was easily explained why Director Jin would back down.

Commoners stayed away from conflicts with officials. Even though the Su family isn’t the officials, the ins and out of the family was well-known. No commoner would dare to offend them. Yan Huan didn’t need to fight for the first female lead role any more, she wouldn’t be able to win the Su family.

“Sis Luo, could you pass me the script?’

Yan Huan extended her hand to Luo Lin, she wanted to see the rest of the script.

Luo Lin quickly took the script and placed it in front of Yan Huan. Yan Huan took off her shoes and snuggled her white legs on the sofa. She placed the script on her legs and started flipping through them page by page.

The first page was the cast list.

First female lead: Su Muran as Mei Rushi.

historical

First male lead: Bai Qiu as Qin Jun.

Second female lead: Yan Huan as Shen Jing.

The “second female lead” words were indeed glaring to Yan Huan. No one would be willing to take this lying after being demoted from the first female lead to the second female lead this brazenly.

Beauty talked about a lady from a common family and how she used her wits to become a queen. The first female lead was known as Mei Rushi. The first male lead, Qin Jun, was the owner of the Qin family manor. The second female lead was Qin Jun’s wife, Shen Jing. Shen Jing was the epitome of an evil woman.

Now she knew what felt wrong when she first agreed to star in this show. The first impression that the script gave her was a battle between two commoners.

Now that she thought about it, wasn’t this a commoner vs. mistress story?

That’s right Su Muran, you want to act as Mei Rushi, I will let you act as her. I want to see how a homewrecker like you become the owner of the house.

“Luo Lin, I will take this show.”
