Editors: schwarzel, lyrenoia QkV0f2


Half an hour later, Zheng Xuanlin was called out and stood outside for a while. He looked at the team of directors and screenwriters who had almost come together, thinking that this scene was still quite big, and it seemed that Xiang Qing was really confident.

Xiang Qing opened the door, and after the people outside entered one after another, Xiang Qing looked at Zheng Xuanlin seriously and said, “I hope you can really be unbiased, and then use acting skills to bring the other party into the play.”

“You don’t have to keep reminding me that when I’m acting, I only have my character’s feelings, not my own,” Zheng Xuanlin said.

Once inside, it looked like a miniature set, not only was the set already arranged, but the cameras and monitors were also set up. Wvk7Yi

After standing outside of the scene for a moment, adjusting his emotions and getting into character, Xuanlin Zheng strode into the scene and called out affectionately “Imperial concubine?”

The curtain of the large wooden bed was slowly opened, and there was a woman half lying with her shoulders bare and her clothes half undone.

Even Zheng Xuanlin, who was already in the role, couldn’t help but think in his heart, is this really the person just now? It doesn’t look like him at all. Could it be that my cousin found a real woman and wanted to get confused first?

The directors and screenwriters were also stunned, thinking in their hearts, this can’t be a man, this is absolutely impossible! Look at the round and smooth arms like white jade and thin lotus roots, look at the white long and straight legs. They have no masculine characteristics at all. They definitely don’t believe that was a man!

Tao Yuan slowly sat up from the bed, his posture was delicate, his eyes were charming, and his lips opened slightly, “Your Majesty~”

The people who heard that sound were numb all over, and even the voice was so charming. Listening to this voice, they have already affirmed in their hearts that this is definitely a woman, not a man!

Zheng Xuanlin was a powerful man, although he was very surprised in his heart, but he didn’t show it at all on the surface. He walked over, and after sitting down by the bed, he gently raised Tao Yuan’s chin and said, “I heard that the beauty is sick, why is the beauty uncomfortable?”

Tao Yuan used his slender fingers to hold Zheng Xuanlin’s large palm and put it on his bulging chest. He looked into his eyes shyly and said, “The concubine heart aches when she doesn’t see Your Majesty.” XTr89D

Such a delicate and alluring beauty was now embarrassingly confessing, and people couldn’t help but want to hold him in his arms and feel sorry. Zheng Xuanlin’s mind gradually became unstable, because the eyes facing him seemed to hook his heart and pulled his heart out forcefully.

Tao Yuan knew that he had no memory of his previous life and would certainly not fall in love with him so quickly, so he used the system’s seductive ability to make him tempted as soon as possible.

Xuanlin Zheng hugged him tightly into his arms, stroked his arm and said, “It turns out that beauty is lovesick and only I can cure it.”

Tao Yuan’s face was pressed against Zheng Xuanlin’s chest, his fingers rubbed against his(ZX) chest, reaching into his collar, stroking him from time to time and saying, “Your Majesty, the concubines don’t know what’s wrong. I have been thinking about your Majesty, I just want to lie in His Majesty’s arms day and night, otherwise it will be particularly uncomfortable in my heart. It seems that the concubine is really suffering from lovesickness, how can this be good?” vkfdwB

His voice was delicate and soft, with attractive words coming from his mouth, but his face and eyes suddenly became cold, full of hatred and murder.

Those who were looking at the scene, couldn’t help being startled, and then remembered that in the plot, Shui JunYao was the prince who lost country and his family. In order to infiltrate the palace and take revenge, he practiced day and night from the age of ten to become a woman, and she kept learning dancing. Eight years later, he was recognized by the king of a small country as his rightful daughter and sent to the Grand Chu palace as a princess.

At this time, Shui JunYao was full of hatred for Zhao Xuan, wishing to kill him immediately, because it was Zhao Xuan who destroyed his country. However, he not only wanted to kill Zhao Xuan, but also to destroy the entire Chu, so he had to seduce Zhao Xuan first and turn him into a mediocre tyrant.

When his face was lifted up, it became full of shyness again, and the speed of the change was so fast that the people watching could not react. IOAcWD

Of course, Xuanlin Zheng didn’t see his expression just now, he saw only the shy face in front of him and the unspeakable affection in his eyes, he almost believed that the woman(boy) really loved him.

Tao Yuan saw his thoughts and thought in his heart, I really love you. Although you don’t remember how much we loved each other in the past life. It doesn’t matter, it won’t be long before I will make you fall in love with me.

“Your Majesty, my concubine is in pain. Your Majesty, help your concubine.” He stretched out his white jade lotus arms and wrapped them around his neck.

Xuanlin Zheng slowly pushed him down, squeezed his thigh and said, “I have the remedy that can cure all diseases, I am the only one that can cure the beauty’s lovesickness and anxiety. QoqYvI

The background of the plot was a dynasty where male lovers were common, but in order to avoid chaos in the emperor’s harem, men are not allowed to enter the harem. Men who have been favored by the emperor had to live in the royal courtyard, but the chance of seeing the emperor was rare. So in this episode, Shui JunYao’s purpose was to have the emperor keep his secret after discovering that he(SJY) was a man, and keep him in the harem. How he would do that was the suspense of the next episode./left for the next episode.

After Tao Yuan was pressed down on the bed by Zheng Xuanlin, the scene ended. Xiang Qing only asked them to perform this part. Although she did not call to stop, the two did not continue. LM47hW

Tao Yuan lay on the bed with his hands on either side of his head, waiting for Zheng Xuanlin, who was on top of him, to get up so that he could get up.

Zheng Xuanlin propped up his body, but did not stand up right away, he put his hands on both sides of Tao Yuan’s body and just looked down at him.

The two looked at each other for a long time, their eyes intertwined. Zheng Xuanlin wanted to identify whether he was a man or a woman, but in the eyes of others, he looked affectionate. The onlookers thought they were still acting, and no one interrupted them.

Tao Yuan couldn’t help but say, “It’s over, you, can you get out of the way now?” 9fTU2G

Tao Yuan used his original voice, although still soft and pleasant to the ear, it was still a boy’s voice, and Zheng Xuanlin finally came back to his senses.

After they got up, Xiang Qing stood up, looked at the others and said, “Do you have any other comments?”

Everyone shook their heads, expressing that they had no objection, and admired Xiang Qing’s eyes for selecting candidates. In this scene, Zheng Xuanlin didn’t have much room to play, but no one would question Zheng’s acting skills and Tao Yuan’s acting was so good, he showed the emotions that Shui JunYao should have. Whether he was a man or a woman, it was Shui Junyao himself.

The assistant director suddenly raised his hand and said, “I want to know if he’s a man or a woman.” BaSG2O

“Make-up artist,” shouted Qing toward the door, “come in and take off his make-up.”

Two makeup artists came in, one to remove his wig, the other to remove his makeup with makeup remover.

The original face was slowly revealed, and although it was still a delicate and good-looking face, it was no longer feminine at all.

The director team and screenwriter team really had nothing to say this time. They were convinced by Xiang Qing’s vision, and they were willing to admit that there was no more suitable person to play Shui Junyao than this person. 1vklJZ

Zheng Xuanlin didn’t leave immediately. He stood aside and looked at Tao Yuan after removing his makeup. He vaguely understood why Xiang Qing insisted so much. He must see the boy before drawing any conclusions. He also clearly realized that in the absence of understanding of the results, it was not only wrong to draw conclusions based on his own ideas, because he may have also regretted it.

When Xiang Qing and Zheng Xuanlin returned to the office, Xiang Qing used the TV on the wall to play back the footage she had just shot.

Zheng Xuanlin sat on the sofa and looked very seriously. From the perspective of a third party, the feeling is really different, especially when he saw the changes in Tao Yuan’s eyes and expressions, he was very shocked. It was completely unimaginable to him that someone who had never studied acting and had no acting experience could make such a look.

After playing over, they played it a second time, then Xiang Qing said “Zheng Xuanlin, his appeal, his eyes, is it not surprising? Now you know why I want to choose him? His manifestation of the character is exactly what I imagined, and YaoYao himself. There is so much going on in Shui JunYao’s character, and if you don’t find an actor who can express the emotions carefully, the character will only be a flop and the actor cast as facial paralysis.” EP1Fdk

After the third time of watching the scene, Xiang Qing looked away from the TV, and at Zheng Xuanlin asking “Now, tell your thoughts, you still insist on your decision to have an actress play the role of Shui JunYao?”

Zheng Xuanlin was silent for a while before he said “Although it is a trial scene, he couldn’t see through his acting*, he was absolutely worth grooming and a very talented actor. I look forward to cooperating with him and also very fortunate to stick to your persistence. ”

*T/N: Means his acting looks real.

Xiang Qing was completely relieved, and then said seriously, “Indeed, as you said, you can’t see all the acting skills in one audition. After all, he has no experience in acting, and there may still be bad performances during the official shooting. At that time, I hope you can give him some guidance, and everyone will work hard to make this show good. ” fONcC3

“You don’t need to say this, I will do the same.” Zheng Xuanlin stood up and said, “Now you can feel at ease, and I can feel at ease. I will wait until the day when the filming officially starts.”

Tao Yuan had already changed his clothes and was sitting outside waiting, when he saw Zheng Xuanlin come out, he immediately stood up and said, “Hello, senior.”

Zheng Xuanlin looked over and extended his hand to him, “Hello, I hope we’ll have a good working relationship afterwards.”

Tao Yuan reached out to shake his hand and was about to withdraw it, but Zheng Xuanlin held it tightly in his hand. V8xt7Y

Zheng Xuanlin looked at his hand, then carefully touched his fingers, wanting to be certain. After a while, he let go of his hand and said, “Your hands are beautiful, your legs are beautiful, and your eyes are also beautiful…”

Zheng Xuanlin had cheirophilia(hand fetish). The moment they shook hands, he felt that Tao Yuan’s hands were very beautiful. As for the next two sentences, when he blurted them out, even he himself was confused.

“…….” Tao Yuan looked at him and wondered if he was simply paying a compliment, or if he was implying something, he shouldn’t have fallen in love with him so quickly.

On the way back, Zheng Xuanlin recalled the trial scene just now, and thought it was quite interesting. If a man can make a woman’s posture look so natural, he should be somewhat sissy. But this person, after removing his makeup, can’t see anything like a woman at all. He was a handsome and beautiful boy, even from his manner and tone of speech, he didn’t give off slightest sissy vibe. TeM5mu

Xuanlin Zheng was even more excited about the shooting of this movie.

The contract was signed quickly with no problems on either side, and then Tao Yuan waited for the crew to start shooting.

Sitting in the car, Tao Yuan looked over the script he had just gotten, and after looking at the scenes of Shui JunYao, he realized why Xiang Qing asked him to play that part for the trial.

After Shui Junyao entered the palace, there were too many complicated moods and emotions, and his mood could not be said, let alone shared with others, so this character had a lot of inner turmoil. The inner turmoil was mainly conveyed through his eyes and expressions. Even if there was a narration to speak his heart, if his eyes and expressions were not in place, it would still make people feel that his acting was not good and was not worthy of being in the drama.

After reading the contract in hand several times, Liu Yong finally felt relieved. He said to Tao Yuan, “Let’s work hard together in the future, you work hard to act, I will try to help you arrange other matters. I know that you are not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships and will not please others. I will help you with these things in the future. As for you, try to use your acting skills to gain opportunities. There are still many directors who value acting. If you became famous earlier, I could follow you too.”

In the ascept of dealing with interpersonal relationships, Tao Yuan was quite at ease with Liu Yong. He was very good at it, he had the ability to bend and stretch, and was good at handling all kinds of trivial things.

Tao Yuan glanced at the contract, because it was a weekly show that was broadcast while filming, so the pay was calculated at the end of each episode, and the money would be credited to the company’s account after one episode was filmed. The salary of the newcomer would be lower, and it was certainly not comparable to those popular celebrities, but the salary that Tao Yuan received this time was a considerable amount of money for a newcomer.

As soon as the two returned to the company, they saw Li Qiao being surrounded by a bunch of newcomers again, discussing something lively. Seeing Li Qiao’s smug look, it should be an audition. svBL8

Sure enough, as soon as the two approached, Li Qiao stopped them and said, “I got a role in the《Ba Ye》crew, and I am going to take them to celebrate, Huaxi, you too.”

Seeing Li Qiao’s ill-intentioned eyes, she must have wanted to vent her anger on him at the party again. This was not the first time that she had done such a thing.

Liu Yong stood in front of Tao Yuan and said, “Sorry, sister Qiao, Huaxi got the role of Shui Junyao. He has just signed the contract, and he will be in the crew after a while. Now you must hurry up and get familiar with the script. Just celebrate by yourself, he definitely doesn’t have time to go.”

“What are you talking about?!” Li Qiao’s shocked eyes, an expression of unwillingness to believe, “he got the role of Shui Junyao? Just by relying on himself? Who are you kidding?!” U6qSaN

Liu Yong frowned impatiently and shook the contract in his hand and said, “I’m really not in the mood to make a joke. The contract is here. Once the time is up, you must join the team to shoot. In order to get him into the group, I still have a lot of things to do. I have to help him choose two capable assistants, apply for a nanny car from the company, and arrange a special lounge, etc. ”

Li Qiao reached out and tried to grab the contract, she didn’t want to believe what Liu Yong said was true, she wanted to see for herself.

Liu Yong avoided her hand. “This is a very heavy thing. It contains content that needs to be kept secret, and not everyone can look at it. Sister Qiao, you are also an actress who has acted before. You should understand these rules? I’m going to show the contract to the general manager now, please let me pass.”

Li Qiao stared at Huaxi, and took deep hard breaths, gritted her teeth in anger, and stood still in the middle. CSs3tz

Liu Yong completely shed all pretense of cordiality, and bypassed her.

Tao Yuan walked up to her, and said in a mocking tone, “Sister Qiao also got a role on the《Ba Ye》crew? Should she be a maid again? If you are a maid, maybe we still have a chance to act a scene together. At that time you will serve me tea, and I will help you add some drama. How about splashing your face?”

“Don’t be so smug this early! There are many variables in the entertainment industry even if you have already joined the group, you will be rejected. You are arrogant with me now, it is too early!” Li Qiao couldn’t wait to see HuaXi’s face, if he got rejected.

“Sister Qiao is indeed a senior, she is very experienced. It seems that she has been rejected before.” Tao Yuan nodded with approval. “Then wait until I become famous, then I can be arrogant in front of you, don’t worry, I won’t let you wait too long.” parl7c

Li Qiao was very angry, she raised her head vigorously, as if she would be more imposing like this, “You want to be famous? You are really naive, do you think it’s so easy to be famous in the entertainment industry? Do you think that if you take a good role, you will be famous immediately? I will wait to see how you were rejected, it will be so disgraceful!”

“Thank you sister Qiao for the talk of experience, but this is my first play, and I got a very important supporting role. I am still so young and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Sister Qiao is very old, and she is still acting as a maidservant. Isn’t it difficult to be popular? It’s really pathetic to think that you can’t sleep around for a better character.

“You!” Li Qiao was so angry that she lost her mind and raised her hand to his face, but it failed to hit him again.

“Go ahead,” Tao Yuan said, looking at her, “Even if you injure my face, my role won’t become yours. Please forgive me, for someone like you, there is no chance of being famous in this life.” LdItBr

“HuaXi, let’s go, the general manager is still waiting to see the contract.” Liu Yong hadn’t gone far, so he stood not far away and watched. He felt that Tao Yuan should have vented his anger enough before calling him out.

Those newcomers who were on the side dared not speak up until Tao Yuan and Liu Yong left, and after Li Qiao yelled, they also strode away, and they dared to discuss in a low voice.

“Huaxi actually got the role of Shui JunYao! I heard that apart from the main character, Shui JunYao has the most important supporting role, how did he do it?”

“It is estimated that it is because he dances well. Although I don’t know the detailed plot content, but in the public profile, isn’t it Shui JunYao is a man disguised as a woman, and there are a lot of dance scenes?” YqhQXE

“I think it’s possible that HuaXi is a really good dancer, and the last time we went to an audition together, he auditioned for a dance double and didn’t the assistant director call Team Leader Liu to the audition? So I guess that’s when he was chosen.”

“Then he is lucky, it’s not that he is better than me. How come he was the only one chosen?” Lin Jun Qi’s tone was full of sourness.

“It’s no use being jealous, they’ve signed the contract, so it’s impossible for you to pick up the pieces this time, not to mention your dancing isn’t as good as his.”

Lin JunQi was really jealous in his heart. He had looked down on Hua Xi before, and thought he was too weak and sick, even though his(HX) face was better than his. Now he hopes that he can look very weak like him, maybe he can be selected too? It’s okay to be a stand-in. ouErj8

“You also have the character Jun in your name, but it’s a pity that you are not destined to play the role of Shui junYao. Even if HuaXi doesn’t play it, it’s definitely not you.”

“Who wants to play a woman! I won’t even act if you ask me to!” Lin JunQi shouted, his face twisted like he was eating sour grapes.

“It is not a woman who plays the role of a man but a man pretending to be a woman. Except for Cheng Yi’s role, his role has the most emotional drama with Zheng Xuanlin. Isn’t it stated in the introduction? It’s the emotional entanglement of three people. And now that the theme of male-male love is very popular, maybe he can really become popular because of this role, and he can also get a lot of CP fans. Now whether it is the CP in the show or the real CP, it is easy to gain fans. Some celebrities are open to CP at a glance, but there are so many fans.”

Lin JunQi’s heart was even more sour, and he couldn’t even pretend he didn’t care if he wanted to. 7Ed5Qp

“Since same-sex marriage has been legal, the number of man-man CP fans has skyrocketed.”

“Even before it was legal, there were a lot of fans of male and male CP, but it was not open at that time. Now there are not only many male celebrities who are openly in love, but also openly married.”

“Times have long since changed, and if it had been a few decades ago, even if the homosexual theme was hot, who would have dared to make a movie about it?”

“No matter what, I still envy HuaXi, this person, this life, really everything is predestined by God.” 4E7nUC

“Who says it isn’t? What’s the use of envy.”


Translator’s note:

Tao Yuan name in this arc is HuaXi, he will be playing a character named Shui JunYao.

Xuanlin Zheng is his target (man) in this arc, he will be playing a character named Zhao Xuan. TRSb30

So please don’t get confused when reading the chapters. Also, because the character ‘Shui JunYao’ is posing to be a woman, the pronoun ‘her’ would be used for sometime. Pls don’t get confused, HAPPY READING.
