Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife-Chapter 428 Meeting The Male Lead (2)
Daren Wang has never been in a relationship, cooped up in his room writing scripts and organizing the direction of his stories. He would rather imagine the scenarios in the scripts he might use in the film he might direct so whenever his friends and roommate would call him out to go for a blind dates, he would sleep throughout the day and miss it.
At this moment, he wasn't thinking too much when he saw the two hugging by the door and thought that these two might have been close friends in the entertainment circle. That was great since he wanted them to shed their awkwardness from the get go.
However, what he didn't notice or know was that if it were someone else standing in his shoes, they would have already fainted or screamed in shock.
"Alright, enough hugging. Let's go inside the room and discuss your roles and lines." Daren Wang, who still didn't get a hint, turned around and walked deep into the room.
Ran Xueyi silently stared at him walk away before sweeping her gaze at the man standing before her and said, "Explain."
Song Yu Han, stared at her for a second and saw that she was not angry, but purely curious as to what had happened, said, "I got the role for the male protagonist."
"How?" Ran Xueyi was even more confused when she heard his answer. "You're not an actor."
If she remembered correctly, Song Yu Han didn't like how the entertainment industry was established. The rules and how it works was completely different from how businesses were handled. Rather, it was tedious and annoying since one has to give up some things in order to become an actor or actress. For example, their simple private life and emotions.
Song Yu Han sighed and placed his hands on her shoulder before turning her around and pushing her inside the room. "I'll explain to you how this happened. But for now, let's not keep the director waiting."
As he said this, Daren Wang was already holding a script in his hand and sitting on the couch, waiting for them to come. As soon as he saw the two moving closer, he waved his hand towards the two scripts on the coffee table and said, "I was going to introduce you both to each other but seeing how you two are closer than I thought, I will skip that and let you prepare yourself to read your lines." f𝘳𝚎𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋𝘯o𝘃eƖ.co𝓂
Ran Xueyi stared at him and thought that it was better to introduce themselves again since she really wanted to know how Song Yu Han ended up being the protagonist of the film!
However, she held herself back when she saw the sincere flash of light in Daren Wang's eyes as if he was treating everything seriously. At a glance, she could tell that the young director was not what she previously thought of him. He was actually determined and strict towards himself and everything around him more than some directors she had known before.
Seeing this, Ran Xueyi picked up the script that has her name on it and sat down across from the young director. Song Yu Han also didn't say anything and got to his seat. Amongst them all, he was the only one who could be described as amateur. After all, he only appeared in a film he invested in to try out how it feels to be an actor.
He was slightly nervous, but for the sake of playing in the same film as his wife, he tamed down the uneasiness in his heart and began to seriously read the script.
Soon, the script reading started and everything went smoothly. Ran Xueyi was as Daren Wang had expected, she was flawless in reading her lines and even added the exact emotion that was needed to be shown with only her voice. It was like she was dubbing an anime or drama.
Perhaps, because some drama needed to redub the actors' and actresses' voices to make the sound even clearer, Ran Xueyi's pronunciation and intonations were exquisite and amazing to listen to. 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺
Looking to the other side, Daren Wang fell into contemplation. When this male actor named Yu Han auditioned for the role, he captured the emotions and expressions needed for the character. But during their read-through, it was obvious that he didn't have much experience in dubbing or reading scripts. Or else, he wouldn't have made some mistakes. However, those mistakes were too few so it was all great in the end.
"Yu Han should reread the lines several times so that every word won't have any pauses in between. When you were reading earlier, your voice wasn't in the right pitch and emotions so it's hard to guess whether you're happy or displeased by something."
He paused before continuing, "Your role is an assassin who is deeply connected to the Underworld, you fell in love with a blind girl who helped you recover after getting injured. But the way you are speaking to the girl who saved you, is a bit too soft. Your character is meant to be rough and cold in the beginning before you will gradually turn soft as you realize your feelings for the girl who saved you."
Song Yu Han carefully nodded and listened. When he looked at the young director, he never showed the presence of a wealthy businessman who could easily buy the entire entertainment industry with a single word from him. Rather, he looked like a good student listening seriously to the lessons the professor was discussing.
At the side, Ran Xueyi stared at this version of Song Yu Han and didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. A lot of people seemed to be scared of him and never dared to offend him, but it was so strange to see him sit there while being scolded and given advice to do better in his role.
Nevertheless, Ran Xueyi was happy that Song Yu Han was experiencing new things despite the fact that she still couldn't comprehend why he had decided to become an actor like herself. Afterall, aside from the things at home, he handles a huge corporation with several subsidiary companies under YH Group.
As she was thinking, Ran Xueyi suddenly remembered something. It was the fact that she hid a bit of the details in the script from him…
It couldn't be that he went as far as to become an actor just because of those scenes, right?!
