“Ai Fang here,” Chu Yu said, looking at Zhong Buyi, “this is the actress Ai Fang I’m recommending. Take a look and see if you think she’s suitable.”
Chu Yu has a good eye. Ai Fang is indeed hot and beautiful, and very suitable for the role of a gangster in "Ancient and Dangerous 2". The character is a big sister who has suffered heartbreak. She is outgoing and ruthless. She is the kind of tough character who can fight back even when she is attacked while taking a bath, wrapped in a bathrobe.
Most actors couldn't pull off this beautiful, cool, ruthless, and erotic character.
Zhong Buyi was initially skeptical, but after seeing Ai Fang in person, he had to admire Chu Yu's judgment of character.
Zhong Buyi extended his hand: "Hello, I am Zhong Buyi. I don't know if Chu Yu has shown you the script. Do you have your own understanding of the character?"
These days, actors and directors take their work very seriously, and their meetings are like work meetings. Ai Fang was infected by this atmosphere and couldn't help but take it seriously as well.
She lacked confidence, but Chu Yu's encouraging words seemed to echo in her ears.
No one is born to sell their body. She was forced into this situation, but now that she has money, she has the confidence to live on. She should think about what kind of life she really wants to live.
Ai Fang was unusually nervous, like a primary school student meeting with the headmaster. "I've seen it, but I don't know if my understanding is correct."
"Now, act out this scene. The female supporting character, in order to seduce the gang leader, plunges a knife into his throat when he's at his most pleasurable. The woman displays a charming and intoxicated expression, seemingly enjoying the pleasure brought by this death feast. She licks the blood off the blade with her tongue and suddenly pulls the knife out. Screams erupt outside, and the female supporting character walks out of the gang's place in such a blatant manner."
This scene is the opening of "Young and Dangerous 2". The male lead and female co-star team up to infiltrate the opposing gang, kill the gang leader, and thus gain the gang leader's favor and become hall masters.
The two supported each other and were each other's right-hand men, but the arrival of the female lead created a rift between them.
The female supporting roles have heavy action scenes, and they need to be able to seduce, strip, and fight. Most actors, especially those from mainland China, have strong ideological concepts and are unwilling to play sexy roles, let alone villainous roles.
Zhong Buyi suggested that she find the leading lady from Hong Kong, but Chu Yu wanted to cultivate her own people. After finding the leading lady from Hong Kong and making her famous, there was no contract to restrain her, so the money was spent but she didn't get any benefit.
Chu Yu thought that if he could sign Ai Fang and train her from scratch, she might not be any worse than others.
Ai Fang may not be good at anything else, but she's a master at seducing men. As long as she narrows her eyes, a man's soul is half gone. Otherwise, it's no wonder that a selfish man like Zhou Jian'an would want to take her to Hong Kong.
Ai Fang had worked in a hair salon, and Zhou Jian'an knew this, yet he was still blinded by lust, which shows how alluring Ai Fang was.
Ai Fang brought the supporting actress to life. When she changed into the all-black outfit provided by Chu Yu, put on the motorcycle, and wore the helmet, she exuded a beautiful and cool vibe.
Zhong Buyi was incredibly excited. Ai Fang was not only beautiful, but also looked so cool in her outfit. She was tall, which made her look good when she was holding the motorcycle, and her face was flawless. She also had a great presence in front of the camera.
"Where did you find this clown?"
Chu Yu smiled and said, "It's alright, isn't it?"
"More than that, if she's willing to do it, she might just sweep through the entertainment industry. After all, who could resist a woman like that!"
Zhong Buyi had a high opinion of Ai Fang, even believing that Ai Fang had more potential than the female lead, Tang Zhenni. The more he thought highly of her and the more he wanted to promote her, the more uneasy Ai Fang became.
"Chu Yu, if I really become famous, won't people dig up all those things from my past?"
Chu Yu comforted her, "Don't worry, these days, celebrities in Hong Kong all need to create a persona. I'll create a completely new persona for you. Your English name is Anna, and your Chinese name is Anna. You moved to Canada with your mother when you were young, grew up abroad, learned martial arts and dance as a child, and were discovered by a talent scout on the street to act in movies."
Ai Fang was taken aback. "Do you think people will believe me? I don't speak English."
"Don't worry, I'll find a teacher to teach you. With a teacher and the English-speaking environment of Hong Kong, you'll learn English and Cantonese very quickly."
Chu Yu wasn't worried. These days, many mainland celebrities who go to Hong Kong start from scratch. They can learn English and Cantonese in a year or two, and Ai Fang can learn them too.
For the first time, Ai Fang felt that her brain wasn't quite up to par.
No, how can someone like her, with a rural background and an unsavory resume, be packaged as a female celebrity?
Chu Yu didn't think anything of it.
Hong Kong was quite tolerant back then; many female celebrities openly became mistresses, and it was fashionable for wealthy men to have seven or eight female celebrity girlfriends.
If this is the case for female celebrities, then it's even more true for others.
So what if Ai Fang has a shameful past?
Some things are a mix of truth and falsehood; who can really know?
Chu Yu said it was nothing, and Ai Fang made up her mind that no matter what the outcome, as long as Chu Yu didn't give up on her, she would follow Chu Yu.
The two signed the contract and were just waiting for Ai Fang to finish her last shift, handle the mutual aid association's affairs, and collect her salary for the month before they would start preparing to go to Hong Kong to film a movie.
During the time Zhou Huilan joined the company, she was extremely busy every day. She felt that she had devoted herself to the company and given everything, and even if she hadn't achieved anything, she had still suffered.
Fortunately, her efforts paid off, and she and Bao Liu received 100,000 yuan in the first month!
"How many?"
Zhou Huilan's eyes widened, thinking she had misheard. Regardless of whether Bao Liu was reliable or not, and regardless of whether the couple had other disagreements, Zhou Huilan and Bao Liu shared the same opinion when it came to money.
Bao Liu smugly tossed the black leather bag containing his money in front of her.
"One hundred thousand! A full one hundred thousand!"
