Chapter 582: Don’t Act Like A Simple Fool

“What can I say?” Yan Huan asked Liang Chen in return. “You’re leaving to get married and build a family, I can’t possibly stop you from doing it, right?”

Liang Chen reached out to pinch Yan Huan’s arm, “You nosy girl, how do you know so much?”

“Well, I have two lifetimes’ worth of experience,” Yan Huan said mysteriously, deliberately confusing the truth and the lies.

“You’ve read too much,” Liang Chen snorted as she continued running. However, it was obvious that her stamina was not as good as Yan Huan’s due to her age.

Yan Huan rubbed the spot on her arm that Liang Chen had pinched earlier. She smiled but did not reply. That was how people were, nobody believed her when she was telling the truth sometimes, but they would believe her when she was obviously telling a lie. There was also a possibility that her truth was too unreliable while her lies were too believable.

After the jog, it was time for breakfast. As a logistics manager, Ye Shuyun was doing a great job. The breakfast that she prepared for them was extremely nutritious. Everyone had a bowl of porridge and a vegetable sandwich. Their stomachs were filled with easy-to-digest foods.

No wonder the entire crew loved Ye Shuyun. In order to fulfill everyone’s tummies, Ye Shuyun had to put much thought into making the necessary arrangements so that they would not get a repeated menu every day. Besides, the food was delicious and cheap as well.

Every day after filming, they would get a bowl of hot soup to drink. Rumor said that Ye Shuyun had specially asked the chef to prepare it. This soup was extremely delicious and they never got tired of its taste.

Ye Shuyun said that this soup could eliminate all exhaustion. Although it sounded a bit exaggerated, they certainly felt much better, mentally and physically, after drinking it.

Every day, Yan Huan had to wake up early to put on makeup and go filming. She was so busy that she did not even have time to rest throughout the day. Sometimes, they would have to shoot the same scene repeatedly.

The toughest part in filming the little white fox was the expression in her eyes. She had to make sure that her eyes were clean and sparkling like transparent crystal.

Hence, every time when a scene went wrong, it was because the expression in her eyes was not in place.

As for the reason why it went so smoothly when they were up on the snowy mountain, it was probably because she could not think of anything else as it was too cold up there. Hence, they were able to get the scene done by pure luck. However, when they were back at the Movie City, she had good food and warm clothes now, hence she began to overthink and the expression in her eyes became out of place.

“Ready, set, action!”

The cameras started rolling and Yan Huan immediately went into character. This scene depicted the time where the little white fox had just arrived in the mortal world. Yan Huan had been stopped by Director Jin more than 10 times.

Yan Huan was feeling a little frustrated. Anyone who had been stopped more than 10 times would not feel happy. Besides, she had never been stopped so many times ever since she started filming in this lifetime.

She adjusted her mindset again, but the director called for a cut again before she could even get her lines out.

Yan Huan felt let down. What has gone wrong again?

“You take a rest. We’ll film the other scenes first.”

Yan Huan nodded, understanding that she should not insist on filming right now. She was not in the right mood and was feeling a little frustrated. She would be unable to give her best in her current situation.

After she sat down, a cup of water was placed in front of her.

Yan Huan took the cup, and she was quite embarrassed upon seeing Ye Shuyun.

“Mum, why are you here?” Which self-respecting daughter-in-law would let her mother-in-law serve her?

“I’m here to check on you.” Ye Shuyun brushed Yan Huan’s hair off her shoulder.

“I remember the first time I saw you on TV. I liked you so much, even though you only had a few minutes of screen time.”

When I was the Little Golden Silkworm? Yan Huan had long forgotten how she felt when she was acting as the Little Golden Silkworm.

It was pretty simple back then as she had only wanted to film it well. The difference now was that she wanted to perform better now. Yet, she had lost her initial spirit and passion. She had become demanding of herself and had higher expectations now, or maybe her acting skills had started to degrade.

Ye Shuyun smiled brightly. She was older, with more experience in a lot of things, hence her viewpoints of the world was different than that of a youth.

“I don’t know what goes into good acting, but I feel that you should have the same feeling in portraying the Little Golden Silkworm and the Little White Fox. All humans cannot differentiate between kindness and evil when they are first born to the world.”

Her words eased all of Yan Huan’s frustration. She suddenly felt relieved and all of a sudden, she understood what she needed to do.

“Thanks Mom, I got it.” Yan Huan held the mug close to her lips. Her eyes shone with a brilliant light right now, and a pair of clear eyes was left after the light slowly dimmed down.

What was she thinking about when she was acting as Little Golden Silkworm?

Don’t act like a simple fool.

Then, when she was acting as the Little White Fox, she should also think about that.

Considering that she had lived for two lives, why would she be so stubborn in some areas?

Ye Shuyun was correct for one; newborn children did not know the difference between kindness and evil. Regardless of whether it was the Little Golden Silkworm or the Little White Fox, they were not born as humans. Acting like a simple fool was not the best way to portray the character.

They should see the world with their hearts.

The Little Golden Silkworm’s world was very simple, whereas the Little White Fox’s world was as pure as the Snow Mountain.

“Are you ready?” Director Jin asked Yan Huan.

“Yes, I’m ready.” Yan Huan stood up, allowing the stylist to straighten her outfit. Her nervousness was soothed, and she understood what she wanted.

However, Director Jin was still worried sick. He had been thinking that it seemed hard for Yan Huan to get into character this time. She had always been good at acting, that was a fact he knew about since the first time they met. Yet, even amazing actors had been known to have times when they got into a blind spot and were unable to see the light. Yan Huan had gotten stuck in such a dilemma. No, she was probably in character, but she had gotten it wrong and portrayed the character wrongly.

At this rate, they would not be able to get past this scene no matter how many times they filmed.

If they were to continue like this, even Yan Huan would not be able to withstand the pressure.

Director Jin felt his palm dampen with sweat.

The camera pulled closer to show how the world looked like in the eyes of the Little White Fox. Her eyes shone like the crystals on the Snow Mountain, but it was reflecting the chaos and turmoil of the world.

She braved a few steps, her emotions transitioning from curiosity to being dumbfounded, and then of empathy.

Grandmother said that humans had a short lifespan. At most, they could only live for 100 years, excluding the possibilities of them falling sick and encountering disasters where they might die earlier than expected. However, the foxes of the Snow Mountain would not experience that. They could live for more than 10,000 years, and if they evolved and became immortals, there would be no limit to how long they could live. Hence, she could not understand how humans lived in their 100 years.

However, her crystal-like eyes were filled with a layer of mist and fog, looking at all the humans who were either sitting or standing, idly waiting for death and suffering to befall on them.
