This girl is far too beautiful. She has clear, fair skin, a slender and tall figure, and an indescribable charm in her face. All the best words can be used to describe her.
Tao Biyun has been a director for so many years, and she has never seen such a beautiful girl.
In fact, she was worried before she even boarded the train. Earlier this year, Tao Biyun received a commission from Beijing TV and Suzhou TV, who found an advertising company to invest in a joint production of an ancient costume drama.
Tao Biyun had always worked for film studios, and this was the first time she had been commissioned by a local radio station, so she was a little hesitant to fully commit.
Fortunately, the TV station's management and the advertising company trusted her and believed that she could produce high-quality TV dramas.
Tao Biyun is under immense pressure. She just finalized the script last month, and now she's rushing to various cities to cast actors, whether it's a modeling team, a performing arts troupe, or a film academy, as long as she can find suitable people.
Tao Biyun visited four cities in a row but only selected a few supporting roles; the lead actress has not yet been decided.
Some people say that Tao Biyun has high standards. There are so many beautiful women, and she is dazzled by them, but she is dissatisfied with this and that. Tao Biyun feels that her requirements are not high. All she wants is a girl with a temperament that is between modern and classical, with delicate skin, smooth face shape, features that can be pure or gorgeous, and a good figure.
Finding a stunning beauty is no easy task. Disheartened, Tao Biyun boarded the train back to Beijing, thinking that if all else failed, she would lower her standards and finish filming the movie first.
Unexpectedly, he met Chu Yu on the train.
Tao Biyun stared intently at her, her eyes blazing with anger. Chu Yu smiled calmly, "You know me?"
Tao Biyun shook her head. "You got into Tsinghua University, you should be 18 this year, right?"
Chu Yu nodded. There was no need for the two strangers to confide in each other on the train. There were many human traffickers these days, and many girls were abducted on trains. One should always be wary of others. She was not very enthusiastic towards Tao Biyun.
Tao Biyun was not disappointed; she revealed her identity to Chu Yu.
Upon hearing that she was a famous director, Shen Zhuyu and Chu Xiang were both surprised. Many of the TV series they had watched were directed by Tao Biyun, and they both expressed their admiration for such a renowned director.
"I came to Deyang this time to select a female lead for my new movie. I think this girl is very suitable, and I would like to invite her to audition."
A famous director personally invited her to audition. Such an opportunity is not something everyone can have. Shen Zhuyu and Chu Xiang looked at each other, both feeling that this experience was too fantastical. Who would have thought that Chu Yu would have the potential to act?
These days, actors don't make much money. They can only earn a few dozen yuan for a month of filming. But every TV series is a national phenomenon. As soon as it airs, every household will be watching it on their TV. Chu Yu's name will become known to every family.
She will become famous throughout the country and be a household name.
Chu Yu and Shen Zhuyu were both tempted, wishing they could go to the audition in Chu Yu's place. Who wouldn't want to be a big star, admired and worshipped by everyone? Who wouldn't want to be someone else's idol, to be someone superior?
Chu Yu, however, remained unmoved.
"Sorry, I have no interest in acting."
Chu Yu has a clear goal: she came to Beijing to study and earn money, and acting was not part of her plan.
So what if someone is a household name?
Don't say actors don't make money these days. Even if they could make money in the future, she wouldn't be tempted. If she's going to be an actor, she'll be an investor, investing in films and casting famous actors in her movies.
Chu Yu took out a computer programming book and began reading it carefully. Computers were a completely unfamiliar field for her, and the C language she was using was rather difficult to understand. Tsinghua University was full of exceptionally talented geniuses, and if someone like her went there, she would probably be crushed by their superior talent.
You need to prepare in advance; don't fight a battle you can't win.
Chu Yu's focused reading made Tao Biyun's heart itch with desire.
Unwavering in the face of fame and fortune, isn't this the very quality she values? Tao Biyun had searched high and low but hadn't found a suitable actress, yet now, someone seemingly so close yet so far away, how could she not be tempted?
“Zhou, you’re the actress I’m looking for. I really like you. I know you have high aspirations, but the values expressed in our drama are also very positive. With your intelligence, you should be able to handle filming and studying at the same time. Why don’t you talk to your teachers after you enroll in school and see if you can take a leave of absence, finish filming, and then go back to school?”
The phrase "putting the cart before the horse" came to Chu Yu's mind.
Tao Biyun offered good terms. If Chu Yu hadn't lived two lives, she might have been tempted. But she really didn't want to be an actress. Actors could become famous and make money, but she wanted to study computer science to change the future of the country and the world.
Between the two, the latter is definitely more attractive.
"Thank you, Director Tao. I'm more interested in business and reading than acting. You should look for someone else. However, if you need investment and financing, you can consider me."
Tao Biyun was stunned. Financing? What? An 18-year-old college freshman, studying at Tsinghua University, wants to be a capital investor in film production? Does she even know how much it costs to make a film?
Other investors are either advertising companies or Shanxi coal mine owners. It just doesn't seem right for an 18-year-old girl to be an investor.
Tao Biyun would not underestimate any young person. She took the business card from Chu Yu and immediately realized that she had made the mistake of judging a book by its cover.
The general manager of Xibao? He also runs a furniture store while studying? He can print business cards, so he must be quite famous. No wonder he can afford three sleeper train tickets.
Chu Yu refreshed Tao Biyun's understanding of young people. She did not give up persuading Chu Yu, but instead adopted a roundabout approach, chatting with Chu Xiang and Chen Zhuyu along the way and learning a lot about Chu Yu.
