The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife - Chapter 382

Ch.382 A good fit as the female lead (3)

Su Yaya was slightly nervous. She straightened her body and her back, as if she was going to an audition, and said to Sun Qin: “Mom, how about me? I read your script and extremely adore the female protagonist. I want to take up her role. Although I have not acted for more than a year or two, and my acting experience is not as rich, I think I can do it. I hope you’ll be willing to give me this opportunity.”

Sun Qin looked at her and was silent. She didn’t consider Su Yaya before this, because Su Yaya was way too pretty, she didn’t match with the female lead in her script. The female lead in her script was an extremely simple and ordinary girl, she was not as alluring as Su Yaya. Su Yaya’s appearance was more suited to take up roles as a beautiful city girl, or a concubine who the emperor favoured in historical dramas, but she wasn’t suitable to act as a teacher in the countryside.

Seeing as Sun Qin was silent, Su Yaya felt so nervous that her palms were sweating. She thought to herself of the fact that it was the first time she recommended herself, and she even went to look for her own mother-in-law. Seeing as they had this close family relationship, if she refused, it would be extremely embarrassing. She was just worried that she would feel way too embarrassed to look for Sun Qin ever again in the future.

Su Yaya pursed her lips, gave it another leap of faith, as she said to Sun Qin with a proper attitude: “Mom, is there something wrong with me? If there is, you can bring it up, and I will try to correct it, and adjust myself to be the person you have in mind.”

Faced with Su Yaya’s earnest request, Sun Qin couldn’t bear to say no anymore. She confessed her worries and concerns to her, “Yaya, it’s not that you are not good enough. In fact, you’re great, it’s just that in my script, the female lead is just an average normal teacher who teaches in the village, with a very ordinary appearance, you’re way too beautiful, so I don’t think it’s that suitable.”

Su Yaya quickly said: “Appearance is not unchangeable. Make-up can change one’s image, even a stunning appearance could become ordinary. Isn’t acting all about one’s acting skills? I think I can play the role well. I like the character.”

Sun Qin opened her mouth and before she could speak, Su Yaya hurriedly said: “Mom, do you want me to act out a scene for you, and after you’ve seen my performance, you can decide whether you want me or not. Is that okay?”

She has never tried so hard to get a role, it’s just that she really likes that role.

Sun Qin could also feel her dedication to the role. If she didn’t let her perform today, she would definitely persist. Considering this point, Sun Qin nodded, “Go ahead.”

“Give me a few minutes to prepare.” Su Yaya was pleased and hurried off to change.

She tied up her black hair that was all over the place with a hair tie, dressed up in a smart and neat look, and changed into a pair of flat-bottomed canvas shoes, her dress was changed into a pair of T-shirt and jeans, and the makeup on her face also looked slightly different. She deliberately made herself look less pretty and more ordinary looking.

After making the preparations, Su Yaya went to look for Sun Qin again. From the moment she entered the door, she recalled the scene in the script, how the female lead walked up the podium, how she taught the children, and the expression on her face, and the satisfied smile when she saw the children sitting in the classroom.

She acted out the whole scene beautifully. Sun Qin was left in awe, she didn’t expect Su Yaya to perform so well. Although there was still a gap with the female lead she had in mind, at least she gave off the vibe she wanted. It’s what she expected from all the actresses she considered.

Sun Qin suddenly came to a realisation on whether she had been too narrow-minded before. She only considered that Su Yaya’s appearance was too pretty and didn’t match well with the female lead’s image, so she arbitrarily felt that she was not suitable for the role.

However, in fact, just as Su Yaya had said, acting still goes down to one’s acting skills. Although her acting skills were not the best, she was willing to work hard to change and fit the female lead’s image, and this was extremely valuable.

Maybe, she would be a good fit as the female lead. Such a sentence suddenly appeared in Sun Qin’s mind.
