Chapter 709 - RW 1.4

"Let's just hope for the best," Jia Jie said to herself, hoping that Han Ye would let Yunyu keep his role as Bai Shijue because this could be his breakthrough. 

Jia Jie sighed and returned to Han Ye with the breakfast he wanted, donuts with coffee.

It was literally the same thing, but Han Ye wanted Jia Jie to buy it herself at the convenience store. When Jia Jie entered the room, Han Ye was busy reading the script today.

He glanced at Jia Jie shortly before continuing what he was doing.

"This is your chocolate donuts and coffee. Do you need anything else?"

"Nothing," Han Ye replied with his deep and hypnotizing voice. Jia Jie always thought Han Ye looked like an emperor in Ancient China. The way he acted, mannerisms, and bearing gave off that aura of an emperor. 

It was no wonder he became so popular, and Yunyu became like an idiot trying to serve him like a good little servant. 

Jia Jie sighed. She was also bitter whenever she remembered what Yunyu had suffered in the hand of this man. But she couldn't do much because that was Yunyu's choice in the first place, "I'll call the make-up artist first. You should have your breakfast quickly."

"Hm."

Han Ye stared at the chocolate donuts and coffee, and then he ate it without any complaint, much to Jia Jie's relief. She called the make-up artist to go to Han Ye's room for makeup. 

Auntie Shu went to the actor's room and starter preparing her kit. Everyone knew that Han Ye refused to join the other actors for the make up session because many of them would try to sneak up some photos of Han Ye, the movie emperor, and it was truly disturbing for him.

"Ah, Han Ye is handsome as always today!" Auntie Shu praised as she prepared her brush. 

"Hm," Han Ye nodded, though Jia Jie could see that his lips perked a bit. Han Ye wasn't exactly emotionless. He was just nonchalant and cold about almost everything. 

"Ah, Han Ye, you're going to be Han Shun in this series, right? The righteous sect leader. I read the article on the internet. This will be your first time playing in a series instead of a movie, right?" Auntie Shu chattered. "Ah, don't be surprised by my knowledge. I'm also your fan, just like my daughter!"

"Thanks," Han Ye said with a thin smile on his face. Jia Jie was surprised by his smile because he never actually showed something like this in front of Yunyu, no matter how many times Yunyu complimented him.

It was such a pity.

"Oh, I also met the one who will be your partner for today's shooting! Bai Shijue!" Auntie Shu mentioned Yunyu, and Jia Jie panicked immediately. "He is such a handsome, clean youth. Ah, he will be perfect to be Bai Shijue!"

"You've met him?" Han Ye asked. 

"Yes!"

"Do you think he'll fit Bai Shijue's role? I… I like that role…." Han Ye said in a low voice as if he didn't want anyone to know about it. 

Auntie Shu laughed heartily and nodded, "Indeed, this is his first time acting, but he is pretty confident that he can do it! He has such vigorous young blood in him."

"Hm, good to know," Han Ye nodded affirmingly. It was suitable for the role of Bai Shijue. This clean and vigorous youth would make your heart beat fast just by looking at him, but he was actually treacherous and had a deep hatred towards the righteous sect leader, Han Shu. 

This only made Jia Jie get even more worried than usual because Han Ye said that he personally liked Bai Shijue as a character because he had so much depth. Unfortunately, he only appeared in two episodes before getting killed off. 

Fortunately, Auntie Shu didn't directly disclose the actor's name, which was Bai Yunyu, or Han Ye might've refused to shoot any scene with him.

After he finished make-up, Han Ye got up and checked the costume he should be wearing, a white robe with golden embroidery. It was beautiful and somewhat sentimental for Han Ye for unknown reasons. 

"Leave now. I have to change my costume," Han Ye commanded. 

Auntie Shu and Jia Jie left the room, afraid that Han Ye might check on the one who played Bai Shijue before the movie shoot. Jia Jie said, "Just go straight to the movie set after this, okay? Don't let the director wait for you."

"Yes."

**

"Mr. Director, good morning," Yunyu bowed his head slightly towards the director. Yunyu had known him before this. Because the director often cast Han Ye as the main cast or at least supporting character in a small cameo, because he was truly amazed by Han Ye's capability as an actor. 

Because Yunyu showed up almost in every set that Han Ye came to, even the director started to notice him. 

"Ah, Yunyu! What's with your formality? Just call me Uncle Shen like usual," The director laughed while patting Yunyu's shoulder. "You look so handsome today. The make up and that costume you're wearing suit you very much. You're really the most suitable to play the treacherous Bai Shijue."

"Hehe, thank you, Uncle! Then I will be checking around my set while waiting for Han Ye gege, okay?"

"Sure, sure, we'll start once Han Ye is done with his preparation."

Yunyu looked around happily as he also realized a few details in a book. This big-budget series was a book adaptation under the same name, 'Master of the Spring and Winter.'

A cultivation book about Han Shun, a sect leader who got betrayed by his disciples and died tragically, and then magically returned back in time to fix what he did wrong.

Bai Shijue was one of the antagonistic side characters there. He was the one who breached the information about Sect Leader Han Shun's location, so the leader from the demon sect could ambush him. 

As Yunyu was busy looking around, the director, Uncle Shen, called him, "Where's that kid? Ah, YUNYU, COME HERE! TIME TO START!"
