My Movie Queen

Yanna had just started her first acting career in this world. Although she was an experienced actress from her previous world, she still tried to improve herself. She would come to the Director and watch her play, ask for advice, and reshoot if necessary. The Director was content with the result and thought that Yanna had done a good job since most of the time it only took one take to finish her scene. But every time Yanna wanted to retake the scene, he would still be amazed at how she could improve it.

The Director and others were shocked when Yanna only needed one take. At first, they thought it was just luck, but soon they realized they were wrong because of Yanna's consistency. Yanna would only retake a scene when she believed she could still improve it. 

Of course, it was no wonder that it only took her one take, considering she had spent her entire life in an acting career and had been awarded as the best actress for consecutive years in her previous world. Even though she spent most of her time stabilizing herself and her livelihood after coming to this world, it doesn't mean that her skill that she gain from hard work will just disappear, people around her only thought that she worked hard to improve after recuperating.

However, despite her hard work and enthusiasm for her job, Yanna could still sense skepticism and prejudice from some of the other actors and staff. They had already formed opinions about her acting abilities and her character based on rumors and scandals circulating in the industry before.

Melody, her manager and acting assistant, would warn her from time to time to be careful of certain actors or comfort her if she heard something unpleasant. Yanna would only smile helplessly and comfort Melody to stop her from worrying too much, she understanding her concern. She was used to these things and they wouldn't affect her.

As days passed, Yanna made an effort to connect with her fellow actors. Although she didn't care about the alienation, she believed that knowing more people on good terms was still better. She showed them warmth and sincerity from her heart. Slowly, Yanna's efforts paid off. Her fellow actors began to see her differently from the rumors and realized that she was not the person they had expected her to be. If Yanna was truly that kind of person, flaws would have already shown. Some people approached her to talk and ask complicated things about acting, or they would invite her and act clumsily. In the end, instead of tearing down Yanna's so-called fake facade, they discovered her patience, warm personality, and easy-to-talk-to nature.

Yanna could see the changes in the people around her and appreciated their willingness to get to know her better, despite their initial opinions based on the previous owner's reputation.

So, when a new wave of rumors emerged some experienced actors who have been in the industry for so long finally understand what's going on with Yanna on the internet. It's not Yanna doing bad things or hooking up, but because Yanna might have offended someone or became a stumbling block for someone's success and wanted her out of entertainment, and just by spreading negative news and fake photos, although it won't affect the actress too much if the company suppress it on time or help her clear herself.

However, in Yanna's situation, who had a lot of potential as a newbie with great popularity, unexpectedly, the company didn't do anything to help her and still spread it more, making it worse, then, no wonder Yanna's reputation was ruined before she could develop herself.

Yanna's fellow actors who understand her situation will cheer her up or will talk to her more and will give her advice. They feel sorry for Yanna because being a small actor is not easy, especially now that Yanna is just getting started again yet she's being attacked again on the internet.

Yanna, who already expected the opponent's move, gets some comfort from a lot of people. She was touched and felt warm. Having people who believe and support you makes her heart excited. She thought of her plan but the rumors are not enough yet which makes her a little disappointed with the people who want to ruin her again.

Yanna's train of thought was interrupted when the Director called her. The Director at first wanted to talk to her about the next scene but seeing her lost in thought looking sad, he decided to change plan

" Yanna, don't mind those rumors. Go back first then let's shoot again tomorrow," The Director said while patting Yanna's shoulder

"Director, it's okay, I don't want to delay everyone, besides, I'm fine," Yanna explain

The Director thought Yanna is really dedicated. Obviously he saw her lost in thought and sad but Yanna still saying she's fine. He shook his head and said," No, go back and take a rest. Everyone is worried about you, so take a good rest tonight,"

Yanna bit her lower lips feeling moved although she was misunderstood she doesn't want to correct it. She thanked the Director and everyone then went back to her room.

Those rumors before it even started to spread, Maya's team got already wind of it, and they swiftly informed Vanessa and Yanna. Maya, along with her team, immediately devised a plan to suppress the rumors, believing it was the best course of action to protect Yanna's image in the industry.

"Yanna, we need to address the latest rumors right away. We can't let this tarnish your reputation again," Maya urged, her concern evident in her voice.

Yanna, however, held up her hand to stop Maya mid-sentence. "No, Maya. This is what we've been waiting for and so far this exposure of my name is not enough, for now keep watching them and their moves"

Surprised by Yanna's response, Vanessa nodded to Maya thoughtfully, her mind clearly preoccupied with another matter.

Melody also nodded as she also had an idea on how to turn the misfortune into a blessing but she will talk about it later with Yanna 

 Yanna sensed Vanessa's distraction, she gently inquired, "Is something troubling you, Vanes?"

Vanessa hesitated before speaking, "I'm concerned about the fact that you're still not signed with a company. Being a contracted artist has its benefits and support system in place for artists like you."

Yanna listened intently but didn't respond immediately. Instead, she took a moment before replying, " Alright let's talk about it." 

Melody also has the same concern as Vanessa but Yanna said before when she asked her what's her plan about it she says she will think about it. 

Maya noticed that Vanessa and Yanna wants to talk about something so she left the video call, she sent a message to Melody before she left.
