Yun Shudai never expected that she would be in such a situation.
When Sister Yao told her about this, she was shocked because Li Kui had only praised her twice on set. Due to the age difference, he would rest on a deck chair on set after filming and rarely chatted with the younger actors.
Sister Yao said, "No matter what the reason for the recommendation, this movie is directed by the famous director Li, a big production. I heard that it has been in preparation for filming all year. The casting was particularly difficult because Director Li has very high requirements for actors."
What kind of subject matter is it?
"Espionage."
"Spy drama?" Yun Shudai thought of how some spy dramas involve romantic scenes between men and women, requiring actresses to sacrifice their looks or something: "Is there a script?"
"Yes, Ms. Li Kui's agent also sent it to me. I'll go there today to hand over your resume and photo."
"Oh, they haven't said when filming will start yet. I think if we get selected, we should take it. It's a drama that our company invests in, so it's easy to negotiate and take time off."
Yun Shudai laughed. She really didn't know how easy it would be to get a day off: "Has the boss found a director yet?"
"Director? The boss is planning to do it himself."
Yun Shudai said "Oh," realizing that her boss's path was similar to hers "before," except that her ambitions were not as lofty as her boss's; she just wanted to lie down and make some money to retire comfortably.
The boss is aiming to become a director and take his life to new heights.
Good, good, she supports it.
When Sister Yao came today, she also brought her a dress.
The dress was a bit too extravagant, petal-shaped, and took up the space of two people: "Sister Yao, let's change into a different dress, I don't like this one."
"Don't like it? This is an ERE Fall Haute Couture piece that we got through the boss's resources. It's very sought-after, and we want it to be a bit extravagant. That's how we'll generate buzz."
When you first start walking the red carpet, the focus isn't on being impeccably dressed, but on generating buzz. Having buzz means you'll appear frequently in public and get noticed by more directors.
Yun Shudai naturally understood this principle, but she didn't want to make a fool of herself or become a big star in her life. She just wanted to focus on acting and win a few prestigious awards.
Ideally, she should be the kind of actress whose movies or TV shows are hits, but who, even if she herself isn't famous, can still win awards.
After Sister Yao left, Yun Shudai checked her departure time; there was still a week left.
That evening, I video-called Lao He and showed her the dress her agent had chosen for her. He Wan said, "As your agent, it's normal for me to choose something like this. You don't like it, do you?"
"Um, I'd like you to help me go to my walk-in closet and find the dress that my husband bought for me a while ago, and put it in a prominent place. I'll call Sister Han tomorrow and ask her to mail it to me, and also... that lotus leaf green camisole."
"What, are you planning a surprise attack on your agent?"
"Uh, yes."
"Oh, that's definitely your style. You've always been like this, preferring to wear casual clothes if you don't like something. Okay, I'll get it ready for you, but a formal dress alone isn't enough. You can wear all the jewelry I prepared for you, or maybe find a Chinese-style piece that would look nice on the red carpet."
"Okay, if you want something Chinese style, how about the lotus leaf green set I bought for Chinese New Year? Jewelry? That's too expensive. Maybe I'll have my assistant go back."
"There's still time, that's fine too."
