Chapter 508: You Take It, You Take It At this moment, not only Yan Hua, but everybody else at the scene was putting their hopes on Yan Huan. She was their last line of hope. Whether they could go home and have their meals, it all depended on Yan Huan now.
Yan Huan knew that she could not escape. She had no choice but to be a stunt double, whether she liked it or not. Not for Su Muran, but for everyone else at the scene, and for that film.
However, that did not mean that she was happy about it. Why did they have to drag her into this?
“Do you have anything else to do?” Yan Hua asked while smiling cheekily, but obviously he had his heart set on making her take up that role.
“Can I at least eat first?” Yan Huan rubbed her belly, she was starving.
“No.” Yan Hua’s face darkened, “That dress has a tight cutting, so you can’t eat now. What if you can’t fit in it after eating too much? Just bear with it for now.”
“But...”
Before Yan Huan could finish her sentence, she was already dragged away by a makeup artist. She wanted to say that she would never get fat. She really was not fat at all, instead she was very slim, at least slimmer than Su Muran.
When she first wore that dress, she already knew that she was way slimmer than she had thought. The dress was custom-made for Su Muran, so the size was not very fitting for her. It was too tight around the chest, but it was a little too loose around the waist. So, it was kind of obvious that she had a better body shape than Su Muran.
“Miss Yan, you have a very good figure. It is tight around your chest, but it won’t tear the dress. The only problem is around the waist.” The makeup artist was thinking of ways to tighten the measurement around the waist area, in case the fabric would sag and look unappealing
Yan Huan looked at herself in the mirror. They had really spent a lot of effort on making the dress. Every flower was embroidered with a delicate hand, and as she walked, it cast the illusion of hundreds of flowers blooming on her.
Yan Huan sat down as she waited for the makeup artist to style her hair. There was no need to change her face makeup, because her face would not be captured after all. However, the makeup artist thought that the dress looked really beautiful on her so he gave her a light dusting of delicate makeup anyway. Below her eye, he drew a dainty little plum blossom. If the overall impression was a nine out of ten, the plum flower could at least add two more points to the score.
As Yan Huan walked out, for sure enough, the Best Actress’ ability was not a bluff. That feeling and that aura could not be achieved by any ordinary person.
Yan Huan got onto the stage and exhaled slowly to soothe her emotions, hoping that she could get it done in one take. It was because she was really hungry, and she wanted to eat already. As the flower petals descended, she swayed her body naturally, the moves exactly like how the dance teacher had taught her.
She had a good dancing foundation because ever since she was three, before her bones were even fully grown, her mother was already giving her lessons. So, she was considered talented in this field. Back then, if she had not needed the money and had not run out of options, causing her to go take on miscellaneous stunting and acting jobs which got herself into this line of work, she might have become a dance teacher. She would have choreographed her own dances, and lived a different life. Then, she would not have experienced her rebirth into a second lifetime, as there would be no sorrow, nor sadness, nor the ignorance or fateful encounters of her first lifetime.
There would always be farewells and separations in everyone’s life, so in a dance, there was too.
The blooming and wilting of a flower represented an incarnation of a lifetime.
The moment that the flower was blooming most beautifully was the peak of its life, where it shone the most.
There was happiness when flowers bloomed, and there was also sadness when flowers wilted.
When compared to the human world, it seemed more miserable in the world of flowers. People could only see that the flower was blooming at its best, but nobody noticed that its fragrance was way more attractive than its eye-catching colors.
At first, Yan Huan just wanted to get it over with so that she could eat after the dance, but sometimes feelings can be very wonderful. It could remind you of the things that you had long forgotten, and step by step, draw you into a mood or memory of your own without yourself even realizing it.
Yan Huan’s ability to express her emotions through her movements was brilliant. Most importantly, she had slender limbs, an excellently-proportioned body, and a good dancing foundation. Not only could she dance, she could even make everyone feel her emotions through her dancing.
At that moment, the entire dance was brought to a whole new level because of her.
The original plan was to not include her face, but the videographer found the perfect angle and recorded the whole thing.
Besides, the ending pose was held a high technical difficulty for a normal person, to bend over backwards.
However, Yan Huan completed every essence of the dance flawlessly. She straightened her body and jumped right off the stage. Unhappily, the Best Actress Miss Yan grabbed the plate of grapes which she was secretly munching on previously from the table.
“Okay, you take it, you take it.”
Yan Hua cried and laughed at the same time. He was already in a good mood, grinning like a jolly old person, “Today I’ll treat you to something good, okay?”
“I’m okay with it.” Yan Huan took a grape and stuffed it into her mouth. Then, she turned around after a few steps, “Director, what time can we eat? I’m starving.”
“In a minute, in a minute.” Yan Hua quickly motioned for the staff to order food delivery. The staff said that the food had already arrived, but they did not notify them because everyone was busy. Now that it was time for a break, they could have their meals. Everybody was hungry and starving until over two o’clock.
Yes, they could eat first before continuing. The director declared a break so everyone could finally rest. Of course, it did not affect the schedule much. Those who had guest roles could still make it in time for the afternoon flight.
Yan Huan passed the plate on her hand to Luo Lin, “Eat this, they are winter grapes, very rare.”
“They are everywhere, nothing special about them.” Luo Lin took one and stuffed it in her mouth without caring whether they were washed. It was pretty good, but she knew that Yan Huan was not being greedy, she was eating them in secret just because she was bored.
Otherwise, she would not have given the grapes to anyone else. She ate them because of boredom, and she took it away because she did not want Yan Hua to force it on her double.
After changing her clothes and removing her makeup, Yan Huan touched her face. She would need to put on makeup again in the afternoon, her tender face must feel very affronted.
Nevertheless, it could not be helped. The queen’s and the dance double’s makeup were entirely different, so it had to be done all over again. Even the foundation that they used were not the same. The queen’s foundation had a matte texture, whereas the dance double’s was somewhat brighter.
As she walked out, Luo Lin handed her a lunchbox. Yan Huan grabbed a pair of chopsticks and started eating right way. The lunchbox was from the same supplier, so there were meat and vegetables. It was fairly delicious. Yan Huan was not a picky person, but she did not like meat, so all the meat went to Luo Lin.
“You wouldn’t die from eating this, you know.” Luo Lin sighed as she looked at all the meat in her lunchbox. She really did not know how Yan Huan grew to her current height.
‘Sigh...” Yan Huan chewed on her vegetables and said, “You don’t know this, but I only get to eat vegetables when I’m outside.”
