Chapter 9 (1/2)
STAR’S POV
I think I was a little selfish.
I used that kind of method to make him my “lover”, in fact, it was in order for me to find the feel of a role that was difficult for me to act.
Lan Yu, a very simple and very beautiful name.
After reading the script I went on the Internet to find the original work of the Beijing story, I had to admit that Lan Yu was all about love, and a near perfect image in the eyes of men and women, he was persevering, single-minded, infatuated, sensible, pa.s.sionate, adorable, sincere, and kindhearted.
A person like this, was this someone I could play?
I remembered the first day of acting cla.s.s, the teacher had asked us to take turns to bark, walk and eat like a dog, he had said that later on when we faced the camera lens we must be able to do everything, this was just a piece of cake.
During my four years in film school, I had learned to play mahjong with the director and deliberately lose money, learned methods of how to pull relations.h.i.+ps with a pool of resources, I had learned a lot of things that I despised, as sweet as syrup.
Fortunately, I came out early.
I didn’t need to go to bed with male directors like my cla.s.smates. These boys were also fooling around with women too.
Relying on luck I soon made a name for myself, I did not need to imitate my cla.s.smates, the girls and guys would go to bed with the directors, male students would fool around with female producers.
For long I had not been clean, from the beginning my heart wasn’t clean.
