The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife - Chapter 194

Chapter 194: You Clearly Surpass Her (1)

Su Yaya returned to the cast to shoot her scenes. It went successfully and every day, she got along with the people in the cast happily.

The only thing that wasn’t too successful was that whenever she was shooting a scene with Chen Yan, the latter would steal the spotlight. A couple of times, it was her turn to talk but then Chen Yan had taken over the best camera angles in the end. The camera couldn’t even catch her face.

After all, Su Yaya was a newbie. Even though she had great acting skills, talent, and intelligence, she didn’t have enough shooting experiences. In the past, she didn’t detect that Chen Yan was stealing her camera shots. However, with the increasing attempts, she gradually understood. Chen Yan was purposely stealing her camera shots.

After she realized this, she felt a bit wronged in her heart. After all, she treated Chen Yan as her senior and respected her a lot. Even more, she sincerely wanted to learn from her so that she could portray her role to the best of her ability. Who knew that Chen Yan had treated her like this? She suddenly felt stupid about her actions from before and she didn’t feel good in her heart.

After she was done shooting a day’s worth of scenes, Su Yaya returned to her room and sat on the bed, unhappy.

Duan Xiaoyu also noticed that she wasn’t happy, so she delivered a bottle of water to her. She asked in a concerned voice, “Sister Yaya, what happened? Are you feeling unwell somewhere? You seem unhappy.”

Su Yaya didn’t feel good in her heart and wanted to find someone to talk to. She patted the spot besides her and had Duan Xiaoyu sit there. She said to her, “If there’s a person you respect a lot and has great acting skills, what would you do if you try learning from her, but it seemed like she was purposely stealing your camera shots to stop you from appearing on camera because she was scared that you might surpass her?”

Duan Xiaoyu stared at her expression and asked, “Are you speaking of Chen Yan?”

The corner of Su Yaya’s lips tugged. She didn’t say yes or no.

If she didn’t say anything, then it meant that she guessed right!

Duan Xiaoyu continued, “Sister Yaya, Chen Yan must be doing this for a reason.”

Su Yaya finally moved and glanced at Duan Xiaoyu. “What do you mean?”

Duan Xiaoyu smiled and said, “Because you’re more beautiful than her and you aren’t any worse than her in terms of acting skills.”

Su Yaya blinked her eyes and understood Duan Xiaoyu. “You’re saying that Chen Yan thinks that I’m more beautiful than her and my acting skills aren’t bad either, so she is scared that I’ll steal her spotlight and do a better job at acting? Therefore, she purposely stole my camera shots while shooting the scenes and didn’t let me show my face in front of the camera?”

Duan Xiaoyu nodded. “Yes.”

Su Yaya knitted her eyebrows. “That can’t be. She’s very beautiful herself and she has the heroine role. Her persona is also much more amazing than me, a female side lead. Even more, she has much more lines in the drama than me, 200 more minutes than me. Even more, she has dozens more outfits. When the drama is broadcasted in the future, she will appear in front of the public more than me. How could I be more amazing than her? It’s the other way around.”

When Duan Xiaoyu heard this, she smiled and said, “Sister Yaya, that’s not the way you should view this. Although Chen Yan took on the heroine role and is the Film Empress, and appears the most in the drama, the public should like her the most but that’s only when she appeared by herself. No comparisons, no harm. When you stand next to her, the contrast is very clear. Sister Yaya, you might not have noticed, but we as outsiders see it clearly. You’re younger and more beautiful than her, and you’re not lacking in acting skills either. When the two of you guys stand next to each other, you clearly surpass her. Therefore ,she was anxious and wanted to use this method to beat you down.”
