Hearing this, Emma responded with a gentle smile, “Don’t worry. You’ve saved me with such a great script, so I will definitely give my all.”
“That’s because you’ve also saved me in the past,” Miller Xiao sincerely thanked Emma. “You do not know how much you mean to me. During my toughest time, you were the one that showed me persistence always paid off. If every person in this world approached life with kindness, I believe more people would be influenced by it.”
“Either way, I don’t think you needed my script to save you. You have always been yourself and nothing like the rumors.”
Emma and Miller Xiao ended up chatting for a good few hours. Basically, by the end of it, both women had a clear picture of what was expected of the drama.
In the end, Miller Xiao noticed it was getting late. So, she quickly got up to go home. If she didn’t, she wouldn’t know how long they’d continue chatting.
“Oh, by the way, regarding the male lead, do you have any preferences?”
“Initially, I quite liked the idea of Craig. But, the two of you have already worked together so many times and his appearance isn’t suited to ancient attire, so I’ll let you guys decide.”
“You really don’t have anyone else in mind?” Emma asked as Miller Xiao left.
“Well, I do have someone, but I don’t think it’s possible,” Miller Xiao hesitated for a moment before she leaned over and whispered a name into Emma’s ear.
As expected…
…Emma stared at Miller Xiao blankly.
“He was born with the almighty presence of a king. Even without acting abilities, he is capable of convincing the public and fans of the novel!”
However, casting the person she had in mind, wasn’t easy to achieve.
“It’s impossible isn’t it? I didn’t think it was possible either. It’s not likely that he would act, so I’ll let you guys pick someone instead. As long as you think the actor matches you, then that is already the best decision.”
Miller Xiao had too much faith in them.
Other authors often had a plethora of worries when filming their novels and had multiple suggestions for actors. But, Miller Xiao was easy to work with. She simply left behind an impossible name, shrugged it off and walked away.
It wasn’t that the person suggested by Miller Xiao couldn’t act. But…
…
Just as ‘Concubine Emma’ was busy filming, an exciting piece of news exploded onto the entertainment scene of New York. Emma had settled on a new drama; an adaptation of the popular novel, ‘The Forensic Concubine’, by Miller Xiao. As soon as the news was released, the media flocked to Kaleidoscope to confirm the information. In the end, Kaleidoscope’s head of PR told everyone to wait for an official announcement and that they had nothing to reveal at the moment.
The circulation of this news created a crisis for ‘Concubine Emma’. Many of the crew members had read the novel. In fact, some of them were chasing Miller Xiao’s latest creation. So, it could be easily seen from the reactions of the crew, how popular this novel truly was.
As Bai Yu spent most of her time overseas, she had not seen this novel before. So, she asked her assistant, “Is ‘The Forensic Concubine’ better than ‘Concubine Emma’?”
The assistant froze. She did not expect Bai Yu to ask such a question. So, all she could do was nod timidly.
“Tell me the truth.”
“It is indeed very good. It is a masterpiece that’s hard to surpass,” the assistant explained honestly. “Also, I heard that Miller Xiao created the script herself. I’m sure it will be very spectacular.”
“Are you looking forward to it?”
The assistant looked at Bai Yu’s exp**ssion and chose to lie in the end, “How’s that possible? Miller Xiao may want to adapt her novel, but she needs to consider whether her fans would accept it. Every reader has their own expectations for the female lead. If Emma wants to act in this drama, she will need to first get past the fans. She’s got a lot of suffering ahead of her…”
After hearing this, Bai Yu was well aware that her assistant was lying to her, but she also felt her words slightly made sense. After all, fans were always the hardest to please.
So, as expected, as soon as the news spread to the fans, there was a huge commotion…
“Oh God! Finally…a novel that I like and an actress that I like…”
“F*ck, the novel couldn’t avoid being adapted into a drama in the end. Luckily, the female lead will be Emma. At least that’s a bit of comfort.”
“I’m too excited! Emma will be playing the role of our Qing Lan! Oh! She completely fits the role!”
“This is something to be happy about. I always knew Miller Xiao was a fan of Emma’s.”
But, of course, there were fans that still had their doubts.
“Emma just gave birth not too long ago. How is she going to act as our domineering Qing Lan?”
“I’m afraid Emma won’t be able to fit into an ancient costume, right?”
“I acknowledge Emma’s acting, but I can’t accept the radish-shaped figure of someone that’s just given birth.”
“The Qing Lan in my mind can never be portrayed by anyone. I beg Emma to let this go. There have already been so many novels that have been destroyed by their adaptations. This is my favorite, please don’t ruin it as well!”
…
Everyone acknowledged her acting.
But, they doubted her figure and state!
Emma was in no rush to clarify things because she didn’t think it was time yet.
But, the drama needed to choose a male lead. So, Eric ended up giving Emma two choices: Lu Yiling or Long Xing.
Lu Yiling had a noble appearance, one that suited the emperor in the novel. Although his acting was quite mechanical, his appearance was a plus.
On the other hand, Long Xing was the complete opposite. He didn’t really stand out in ancient costume, but he was comfortable to look at and not easy to get sick of. Most importantly, his acting was spectacular.
Both men had their strengths, advantages and disadvantages.
As Emma looked at the information for the two men, she remained silent for quite a while. As soon as Eric saw this, he knew exactly what she was thinking, “You’re not happy with either of them?”
Emma looked at Eric quietly like she was staring into his soul.
“I’ve already contacted both of them to come for auditions. You should come and have a look as well.”
Emma nodded her head. But, she actually felt that the male lead she truly hoped for, was impossible.
…
As soon as Bai Yu returned, Bai Linlin suddenly found she had someone to rely on. Erasing the dreaded memory of the punishment in front of Emma, Bai Linlin could now flaunt her power once again.
Of course, she still remembered the grudge she held against Yadanar. Even if she couldn’t pick on Emma – who barely took a step out of her house – being able to teach Yadanar a lesson wasn’t a bad alternative.
Plus, they were both currently vying for a role in ‘The Best Ex-girlfriend’, so their chances of seeing each other were a lot higher.
After quitting from ‘Concubine Emma’, Zephaniah placed all his focus on Yadanar. He felt relieved to see that she had matured and become a lot more understanding.
Today, they were attending a test reading of the script. Zephaniah accompanied Yadanar to the bathroom and escorted her right to the door.
Bai Linlin happened to be coming out of the bathroom at this time. As soon as she saw Zephaniah, she sneered and walked up to him, “Mr. An.”
Zephaniah leaned back against the wall and glanced casually at Bai Linlin.
“I heard you were once a top manager. But, from the looks of it, your abilities are quite mediocre…You’ve already struggled so much just to manage one Yadanar, what other results can you produce?”
Zephaniah didn’t want to respond, so he ignored her like she didn’t exist.
Seeing this, Bai Linlin scoffed, “For someone like Yadanar, even if you support her for an entire lifetime, she will never become a superstar. You should give up.”
After hearing this, Zephaniah pointed to his ear, “I don’t understand animal language. Or perhaps, my hearing isn’t too good.”
Bai Linlin sneered and strutted away. Not long after, Yadanar exited the bathroom and looked at Zephaniah, “I heard Bai Linlin’s voice just a moment ago. Was she causing you trouble?”
“Let’s go. It’s about to start,” Zephaniah had no intention to explain.
