Chapter 401: Sympathy
It is said that when Chu Yu was still studying at the Capital Film Academy, she was spotted by a famous director, but he did not want to invite her to film, but to support her. After she sternly refused, the director used his position in the circle to block her. As a result, she could not get any good resources after graduating from school. After several years, the situation improved, but she was also old.
Chu Yu was able to get to the fourth-tier position because of her good looks. If it were an ordinary person, she would have given up and left the industry. When Yang Huayue heard these gossips, she didn't care about them. At that time, she had Gao Jindong to rely on, but she didn't expect that one day, she would be in the same situation as Chu Yu.
Inexplicably, she felt a little sympathy for Chu Yu. At least she got the role of Yanshi today, while Chu Yu got nothing and wasted the entire morning.
Chu Yu looked at her and smiled, "Don't look at me like that. You are not much better than me. At least I have never been famous, so I can't understand the feeling of being famous. But you fell from a great height. Isn't there a saying that goes 'from luxury to frugality'? Your life now should be more difficult than mine."
Yang Huayue was so high-profile in the past, and everyone in the circle knew that she had Gao Jindong's support. At today's audition, Chu Yu initially thought that Yang Huayue was also a pre-selected relative like Fu Feiqian and Feng Qingyu.
But after watching this great show, she realized that Yang Huayue was just like herself, here to serve as a foil. How sad!
Yang Huayue sighed, "Maybe I shouldn't have accepted "Listen, the Sound of the Wind" in the first place." Her bad luck started with this drama.
"I went to the cinema to watch this movie, and I think you acted very well," Chu Yu said, "better than any movie you've acted in before."
Yang Huayue was stunned. She knew that Chu Yu was not being polite. She felt that this sister was quite sincere and felt even more sorry for her mediocre career.

...
The two walked outside together, chatting as they walked, and Yang Huayue realized that Chu Yu was even worse off than herself. So far this year, she had not filmed a serious drama. She had only taken on advertisements for several small companies, played a small role in an online drama, and appeared at some shopping mall events. She was not much better than those car models, and her income from these sporadic jobs ranged from a few thousand to a little over ten thousand, which was enough to support her life.
Chu Yu was quite optimistic. "Ordinary office workers can't make that much money, but I can't compare with you popular stars. I can't help it. I'm almost 30 years old. This age is the most embarrassing. I can't act in those cheap youth dramas anymore."
"For better movies and TV shows, let alone the leading actress, I have never been able to play any female role that shows more of my face. For example, in "War of the North Wind", it was booked long ago. A director I had worked with before took pity on me and asked me to play the elder of the male and female protagonists. You said you don't want to play the villain, and I don't want to play the mother either!"
Yang Huayue felt that the two of them really shared the same suffering.
Chu Yu continued, "I'm not as stressed as you are. I don't have much material desire and I don't like shopping. I save all the money I earn. I haven't bought a house in the capital because I'm thinking that one day I can't make it anymore, I'll take my savings and go back to my hometown to find an ordinary job and live out the rest of my life. My contract with the agency expires at the end of this year. It's been three years, and I haven't made any money for them. I feel really sorry for them. They've been letting me do whatever I want. My agent has stopped replying to my WeChat messages, and they're definitely not going to renew my contract."
These words sounded so lonely and helpless, Yang Huayue was surprised.
"Don't you have a boyfriend?"
"I said I have never been in love, do you believe me?"
Yang Huayue shook her head wildly. How could such a great beauty, who was almost thirty years old, have never been in love!
Chu Yu smiled and said, "I wouldn't tell ordinary people about this kind of thing. I only told you the truth because you're so cute."
Yang Huayue: “…”
She was extremely shocked, "Have you been single for thirty years???"
"Um."
“Are you a lesbian???”
Chu Yu: “…”
