Chapter 845 Even those born into wealthy families have missions they cannot escape.
A-Xia and Lin Xiangyu were already waiting for her outside the car.
As soon as Le Yan came down, Lin Xiangyu immediately wrapped her body in the down jacket she was holding.
In fact, Le Yan is still in her postpartum period, and Lin Xiangyu and Fu Nian'an both hope that she can take a break from performing and focus on recovering her health.
But Le Yan insisted on performing, and Fu Nian'an and Lin Xiangyu couldn't persuade her at all, so they could only do their best to take care of her.
...
Because the first performance in Beicheng was so well received, tonight's show was completely sold out.
Le Yan became famous overnight, and many media outlets fought tooth and nail to get access to report on her tonight.
An hour before the performance, the backstage area was in a state of intense preparation.
Everyone's makeup and styling are done.
Wen Jingxi went to the dressing room to see Le Yan.
"How are you feeling?" Wen Jingxi waved his phone. "My brother was worried about you and asked me to come and check on you."
Le Yan smiled gently at him, "Tell him I'm fine, and let him rest assured and wait to watch the performance."
"Okay." Wen Jingxi paused, looked at her, and made a thumbs-up gesture. "Teacher Le, good luck!"
Le Yan was slightly taken aback, then smiled: "You too, Teacher Wen!"
Wen Songyi raised his hand and scratched the back of his head: "This may be the last time we work together. I'm retiring from the entertainment industry after this tour."
Le Yan was somewhat surprised, "Why so suddenly?"
"Actually, it's not sudden. I entered the entertainment industry to work with you. Now that my wish has been fulfilled, it's time for me to retire and go back to fulfill my own mission."
Le Yan pursed her lips.
She wasn't familiar with Wen Songyi, but she could guess that Wen Songyi's family background must be extraordinary.
Those born into wealthy families also have family responsibilities that they cannot avoid.
Le Yan smiled slightly at Wen Songyi, "Teacher Wen, you are very excellent. I believe you can do well no matter what you do."
Wen Songyi smiled, "With these words from the goddess, all my years of dedication in the entertainment industry have been worthwhile, I have no regrets!"
"Teacher Wen is joking with me again. I'm an actress, calling me a goddess is too disrespectful."
“Anyway, in my heart, you will always be an irreplaceable goddess!” Wen Songyi said, “But don’t worry, after you and my brother get married, I will start calling you sister-in-law.”
Le Yan's smile froze.
"Teacher Wen, your phone is ringing..."
Wen Songyi's assistant came over and called Wen Songyi away.
Le Yan lowered her eyes, her heavy eye makeup effectively concealing the emotions within them.
...
The audience wasn't as nervous during the second performance as they were during the first.
That's how the opera stage is. In the end, it becomes a functional art form. It's a stage that can only be presented through day after day of hard rehearsals and repeated formulaic emotional outputs, resulting in a near-perfect replica of the original.
From the moment she stepped onto the stage, Le Yan was completely immersed in her role; every move she made was exactly like Tang Wan's.
The audience forgot her name was Le Yan in her performance and only saw a living, breathing Tang Wan.
As the story ended and the audience spontaneously rose to applaud, they suddenly realized what Le Yan's face truly looked like.
That stunningly beautiful face, so easily recognizable even with heavy opera makeup, could only belong to Yue Yan.
Only then did the audience realize that Le Yan's 'vase era' was over.
A new star has emerged in the entertainment industry; she is actress Lin Leyan.
...
After the performance, Le Yan gave another interview.
This time, several media outlets rushed to surround her.
Le Yan had just removed her makeup. Because of the time crunch, she didn't have time to redo her makeup, so she just grabbed a random lipstick and went out with a bare face.
Unexpectedly, her interview went viral again.
Netizens were shocked by her bare face!
[OMG! Her skin is so fair, the photographer practically poked the lens into her nostrils, thankfully Le Yan's stunning beauty held up!]
[She wore lipstick, okay? She probably used some kind of subtle "no-makeup" makeup technique, right? Le Yan, she's a master of these little tricks!]
[Are you jealous again, upstairs? I was there, and I swear she wasn't wearing makeup! Her assistant was trying to get her to get her makeup done, but apparently a director was coming to see her later—a big director, no less—so Le Yan had to give the interview without makeup to save time!]
[A big-name director?! Tell me who it is, upstairs!]
I don't know! I only heard her assistant say that the director was almost there, and I'm curious too!
[I'm guessing it's Director Yu! Someone recently leaked that he's making a comeback, supposedly to direct an art film!]
[Oh my god?! Director Yu? Hasn't he stopped directing for many years? Last time, a passerby even photographed him vacationing abroad with his wife!]
[Director Yu, my damn white moonlight! We fans have cried and wailed countless times over the years, but Director Yu is just a hopeless romantic! He's lost all his ambition since getting married, completely ignoring us career-oriented fans, sob sob! Is Mrs. Yu taking pity on us and letting Director Yu out for a spin?]
[Hahaha, you're killing me with laughter! But seriously, if Director Yu were to direct a movie with Le Yan, just thinking about that setup gets me excited!]
[Jam jackpot! A new Le Yan fan has arrived! I just became a fan tonight! It was absolutely amazing, I highly recommend everyone who can afford it to buy tickets and see her perform! Seriously, I admit I used to yell at Le Yan a bit when I criticized her!]
[The person upstairs must have gone from hating to loving her, haha. I was just a casual observer. Actually, I wasn't really interested in celebrities; I'm a huge fan of Yue Opera. But when I saw that Miao Danqing used two celebrities, I hesitated at first, but my husband really wanted to see it, so I went with him. After the performance, I felt so glad I came! Le Yan as the lead actress was truly amazing. On my way home from the theater, I did some research online and found that people used to have very negative opinions about Le Yan, but I feel she's completely different from what's said online. Anyway, at least now I see a very serious and hardworking actress like Le Yan! Finally, I have to mention that Le Yan is absolutely stunning without makeup! I'll definitely watch all her future works, whether it's opera, TV series, or movies—I'm a fan!]
[Okay, okay, stop praising me! I can't get any tickets for the later ones at all now, I'm going to cry. A few days ago when I checked, there were still so many tickets available for Yuncheng, and I was thinking of waiting until I got paid to buy them, but now when I open the page, they're all gone!!]
[That's really incredible! Teacher Miao probably didn't expect this national tour to be such a huge success! Our Yangbao is so impressive!]
【Yangbao? This name suits Leyan perfectly, hahaha!】
Come on, fans, gather around! The fan club was just created, add me if you want to join!
...
While netizens were frantically becoming fans, Le Yan had already met Yu Changze under Yao Jia's guidance.
As netizens speculated, Yu Changze plans to make a comeback, and this time he has chosen Le Yan as the female lead.
Yu Changze showed great sincerity, offering a high salary and bringing along the head screenwriter and script for his new film.
However, to Le Yan's surprise, the head screenwriter that Yu Changze brought was an old acquaintance...
