Chapter 3: Audition For Intimate Scenes
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Even though Yun Xi was used to seeing her manager, she would occasionally be awestruck by his cold and serious but handsome look.
After calming herself down, Yun Xi asked, “How explicit is it?”
“The script is on the desk.” Ai Zhe walked to the desk and pointed at the folder on the desk with a cigarette between his fingers. “Take a look.”
Yun Xi took the folder and flipped through two pages. When she saw the female lead’s biography, her facial expression stiffened.
—— ‘That’s too intimate!’
In the two sex scenes, the audition requirements had specifically highlighted the nude scenes that would include the front view of her body. The actors would also have to engage in intimate behavior.
The movie was called “Detective Mastermind.” The male lead was a police officer who conceals his identity to go undercover to seduce a mafia lady. After he became the female lead’s boyfriend, he snuck into the her house and stole evidence of a mafia boss’s crime, finally. He then contacted the police to cooperate with the outside world to take down the mafia boss’s lair.
The fifth female supporting role was the mafia boss’s mistress, who was a sexy and debauched character that gets seduced.
She was a scheming criminal who often engages in a gunfight and conspiracies so the requirements for the actress playing it were not very high. The fifth supporting female role would only have a total of three lines and five minutes of screen time but the pay was high because the actress would have to “devote herself to art”.
“There are two sex scenes where you have to be fully naked and show your face.” Ai Zhe said, “The pay will be calculated according to the length of the shooting. They are offering 5,000 yuan per day.”
To be honest, Yun Xi was very tempted by the pay.
— 5,000 per day. She could earn 100,000 yuan if she worked for 20 days.
But…
She could not help but have some considerations. The male lead of this movie was the popular actor, Gu Linyan. Many of her classmates were fans of Gu Linyan, so they would definitely support him when the movie was released. When that time came, how would she face others?
“I’ll think about it.” Yun Xi said hesitantly.
Ai Zhe nodded expressionlessly. “The audition ends tomorrow. Give me an answer by tonight at the latest.”
There was still an audition?
That was true. After all, the male lead was a ‘Best Actor’ titleholder. Many people fantasized about filming a sex scene with him.
“Gu Linyan’s reputation is not bad. He’s very professional. He won’t take advantage of his co-actress while filming. You can rest assured about this point.” Ai Zhe pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and said, “The production team is also not bad. This kind of drama is usually for the sake of winning awards. Not only do the actresses have to show their faces, but the male actors too.”
After he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth curled up into a faintly sarcastic smile. “Hidden passion has always been very popular with the judges.”
Ai Zhe had originally debuted as an actor and had switched career paths to become a manager halfway through. When he had just debuted, he had also won quite a number of awards and was already well versed in the art of acting.
Hearing what he said, Yun Xi understood what he meant.
Ai Zhe had always been cold and reserved when dealing with people. He had never given any specific advice. To be able to tell her so much was already a sign of special consideration and explicit instructions.
“Alright, I’ll take it.”
The next day, Yun Xi finished shooting the scenes in the morning and followed Ai Zhe to the audition hall at three o’clock in the afternoon.
Ai Zhe went to greet the main creator while Yun Xi waited by the side.
She didn’t have time to remove her makeup from the previous scene. She was also still wearing a pure white European court nightgown with a large neckline and lace and bubble sleeves. It had nothing to do with the sexy and debauchery written in the script.
Looking around, she found that everyone basically had exquisite makeup. They were wearing tight clothes that cinched their waists and bared their slender legs. Most of their cleavage was exposed too.
Yun Xi felt a little embarrassed.
She had never been to an audition before and thought that there would be costumes provided in the audition hall. Only when she arrived did she realize that everyone was wearing their own clothes and acting right on the spot.
It was too late to change now.
“Yun Xi.” From afar, Ai Zhe tilted his head at her and signaled for her to go over.
Yun Xi could only brace herself and go forward.
“This is Director Zhao.”Ai Zhe didn’t seem to find anything wrong with her outfit and introduced her. “Our friend here is called Yun Xi. She’s only a sophomore this year.”
Director Zhao was in his forties this year. He was a rather sloppy middle-aged man, but his attitude was very natural.
“Your outfit is quite interesting. What do you think?” He suddenly asked.
Yun Xi blinked her eyes. Just as she was about to tell the truth that she just didn’t have time to remove her makeup, Director Zhao suddenly thought of something and waved at Yun Xi. “Come, go with that someone. Let me take a look.”
It must have been Ai Zhe who had given her special treatment.
Yun Xi looked at Ai Zhe nervously. He raised his chin at her and signaled her to do as he said. Yun Xi followed Director Zhao.
She was stunned when she entered.
The inner room was very big and empty. There was only a bed in the middle. It was covered with a long white velvet sheet and looked clean and soft.
A man was lying lazily on the bed. His tanned upper body was bare as he showed off his figure.
His muscles were very beautiful and not too exaggerated, unlike that of bodybuilders. They were firm and not overly taut, full of the curvaceous beauty of a man.
Yun Xi saw a large green tattoo under his left rib.
It was actually Gu Linyan..
