After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 222 It's not a matter of whether I'm happy or not.

It was already past midnight when Sheng Hanyu got home.

He touched the head of the startled charcoal, added some water to it, and then went back to his room.

"We can only talk about it tomorrow morning," Sheng Hanyu glanced at the time and felt extremely embarrassed.

The most awkward situation is when there are still three hours until dawn...

He had caught up on sleep on the way, but couldn't fall asleep now, so he turned to the script and continued studying it.

He had only read half of it before, but now he has finished reading the whole thing.

So even though she had already sent the message, Sheng Luoxin was still quite surprised when she woke up in the morning and saw that Sheng Hanyu had prepared breakfast in the restaurant.

"Dad, I'm back."

Sheng Hanyu smiled at him and casually pushed a bowl of freshly cooked milk and oatmeal towards him.

"Oh...you're back."

Sheng Luoxin was clearly still asleep, but Sheng Hanyu wasn't in a hurry and patiently sat beside him, waiting for him to finish breakfast and wake up.

"Dad, take a look at this."

Sheng Hanyu not only read the script, but also wrote two or three pages of brief character biographies about the roles he thought were suitable for Sheng Luoxin.

As for why it's brief, firstly, he wrote it simply to make it easier for Sheng Luoxin to read, and secondly, he believed that writing character biographies was a necessary task for actors.

"Is this... the script you're going to act in?"

Upon seeing that it was a martial arts novel, Sheng Luoxin immediately became interested and continued reading without waiting for Sheng Hanyu's reply.

After a long while, he finally looked up from the script, but Sheng Hanyu had already fallen asleep leaning against the sofa.

He overestimated his energy levels.

Sheng Luoxin sighed silently, picked up a blanket from the sofa and covered Sheng Hanyu with it, then went to order takeout for lunch.

Sheng Hanyu was awakened by the sound of coke pulling the blanket.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he smelled the aroma of food, which meant that Sheng Luoxin had already prepared lunch.

How did I fall asleep...?

Sheng Hanyu rubbed her forehead, got up, and washed her face.

That's fine; discussing this issue at the dinner table might make it more acceptable.

Do you like this script?

As Sheng Hanyu ladled soup into the bowl, she asked.

"This script... is very good!"

Sheng Luoxin's eyes gleamed, but his tone quickly sombered. "However... you wrote a character biography for the role you're going to play? Won't it be... a bit difficult?"

Because Sheng Hanyu had clearly marked these characters specifically, Sheng Luoxin paid special attention to them.

But a sickly beauty who has been imprisoned for so long? And a former crown prince dressed as a woman? Isn't that a bit too much of a challenge?

Sheng Luoxin didn't think about it at all.

Sheng Hanyu stared at him in silence.

He really didn't want to...

After confirming this, he spoke up amidst Sheng Luoxin's somewhat bewildered gaze, "Do you think it would be difficult for you to play this role?"

"I'm acting...? Me?"

Sheng Luoxin subconsciously lowered her gaze.

He didn't even dare to imagine that he would have the possibility of making a comeback.

Although sometimes he would dream of playing many different and wonderful lives in the middle of the night, looking at the empty room and bed, he knew that he could never go back to that time.

For a long time, he deliberately watched fewer domestic films and television dramas, or basically none at all, so that he wouldn't have thoughts like "what would happen if I were still acting."

"Can't we even make a hypothetical assumption?"

Hearing the disappointment in Sheng Hanyu's tone, Sheng Luoxin suddenly looked up.

No, I can't let my son think that I don't care about him at all. If it's just chatting... it should be okay if it's just chatting, right?

"As for me... the sickly beauty look... although I don't mind, but isn't cross-dressing a bit inappropriate? Uh, if it's the current trend, then I really don't understand..."

The other two characters were relatively ordinary, so Sheng Luoxin was not discussed further.

Originally, those two were also backup options. Sheng Hanyu felt that if Sheng Luoxin really didn't want to choose a standout role, then they should choose a role that was less likely to go wrong, at least to participate.

Therefore, Sheng Hanyu didn't say much about it.

The character of the sickly beauty is somewhat complex; she's not just a pretty face. In fact, most of the characters in this script have two sides, which is part of what makes it so compelling.

But if it were Sheng Luoxin, she should be able to express this complexity.

"So, would you like to give it a try?"

Sheng Luoxin looked up in alarm.

To him, Sheng Hanyu's tone sounded like a devil's seduction.

Sheng Hanyu remained silent, only using her eyes to show that she was serious and persistent.

“If…” Sheng Luoxin gave in first. “If it would make you happy, then I might as well…”

He didn't want to disappoint his family members whom he cared about.

He's completely useless now; the only thing he can still do is raise cats here. If he still doesn't satisfy his son, then...

"It's not a matter of whether I'm happy or not, it's a matter of whether you're willing or not."

Sheng Hanyu emphasized.

If Sheng Luoxin only acted in the show to please him, what's the difference between that and coaxing a child?

Motivation is important; at least it should be something that doesn't make him feel forced.

Sheng Luoxin's face clearly showed her struggle.

He was in pain, not from the pain of being forced by Sheng Hanyu, but from the pain of feeling lost and helpless.

He couldn't make that decision.

Although he knew it didn't matter where he was, he hadn't been in contact with society for almost twenty years, and he was worried that he might cause trouble for others on set...

Moreover, it seems that my son values ​​the female lead of this drama very much. Is he doing this now in order to get closer to her?

Sheng Luoxin's self-judgment was flawed, and Sheng Hanyu was well aware of this.

He continued, "I also have a role in mind, and I would be very happy to act in it with you."

Even if we can't schedule it, we have to force it now.

Sheng Hanyu sensed that the other person's fear of "going out to work" was greater than anything else, so she immediately changed her approach.

"After all, I've never seen what real martial arts are like... Can you just help me out?"

Show the other person a certain level of respect, making them feel that they are valuable, rather than doing this just to please someone else.

Sheng Hanyu secretly rejoiced that she hadn't been able to let go of this matter in her previous life, and had learned a lot of common sense about psychology.

"Can I help you?"

Sheng Luoxin's previous emotions vanished instantly.

"Really? Then... I'll say yes?"

He was somewhat excited, his fingers trembling as he picked up the script.

If he can get the role, he needs to study it seriously now!

"Don't rush, finish your meal first."

Sheng Hanyu picked up a piece of meat and placed it over to Sheng Luoxin, but the latter immediately shook her head, "How can a sickly beauty eat so much meat? From now on, I'm going to manage my figure!"

Sheng Hanyu chuckled, "Don't rush, we'll have the nutritionist adjust the diet plan later. Let's eat it now and not waste it."

Sheng Luoxin had no choice but to nod.

Seeing the other person like this, Sheng Hanyu breathed a sigh of relief.

His emotions shifted too quickly, but fortunately they were still within acceptable limits.

After dinner, Sheng Luoxin happily went to read the script and asked Sheng Hanyu to help him look up the information he needed.

Sheng Hanyu sent a message to Ye Sanqing.

My dad has made his choice; he wants to play the sickly beauty.

[Qing: Oh... I thought he'd choose the crown prince dressed as a woman.]

[I'm getting older, so I have some concerns. Please understand.]

[Qing: Okay, then I'll tell Lao Ren.]

[Thank you for your help. Oh, and I also need to choose a role; the situation is a bit complicated.]

Sheng Hanyu briefly explained Sheng Luoxin's situation.

He couldn't go around talking about this, and he had no reason to ask the crew for special treatment. In fact, Sheng Luoxin might be more at ease without special treatment.

But he believed that Ye Sanqing would understand him.

[Qing: I understand. So, can you choose a role that involves spending as much time as possible with him? Is that okay?]

Ye Sanqing's question probably stemmed from her knowledge that the other party would be very busy in the future, and if it were a role with a lot of screen time but not important, it wouldn't be of much help to Sheng Hanyu's acting career.

He's more important. I'll tell you after I've made my choice.
