Chapter 279
Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe! A few days later, Yin Shuang Shuang boarded a first-class flight to Country R, arriving in its renowned ancient capital, Jingdu1. She would be spending six months there undergoing various training programs.
Jingdu had long been known as the sex capital of Country R, with a history of famous prostitution and romantic tales. Feng Ping claimed that while the script for his Memoirs of a Famous Courtesan2 was fictional, its setting was inspired by Jingdu. This easily convinced the director and Du Sheng to send her and the main actors they would soon sign to Country R to study tea ceremony, dance, and other arts.
Before departing for Country R, Yin Shuang Shuang made a special visit to Zhou Yan, inviting her to join the cast of Memoirs of a Famous Courtesan on behalf of Du Sheng. Zhou Yan naturally understood that Yin Shuang Shuang was returning the favor. After Yin Shuang Shuang’s role in The Doomsday War became a massive hit, many online critics accused her of stepping on Zhou Yan to get ahead. Even some of Zhou Yan’s superficial “best friends” resented her for giving such a great opportunity to Yin Shuang Shuang instead of them.
But Zhou Yan had always known the truth. The supporting female role she had initially secured had long since been revoked, leaving Yin Shuang Shuang with only a bit part. It was Yin Shuang Shuang herself, with her extraordinary talent, who achieved such a remarkable performance in the film. Zhou Yan had merely handed her a ladder she couldn’t use herself.
But now, Yin Shuang Shuang has repaid her with a role in Memoirs of a Famous Courtesan!
A while ago, when rumors of the casting of this film were released, she asked her agent to fight for it. It doesn’t matter what roles she has, as long as she can show her face. After all, her popularity in country M is limited. It’s a pity that even so, the news that she heard from her agent was like a sea of stones3. Zhou Yan never expected Yin Shuang Shuang to bring her the second female role!
For Yin Shuang Shuang, if not for Zhou Yan’s casual act of kindness back then, she wouldn’t have obtained her Hollywood ticket so quickly, nor would her career have taken off as it had. In a way, her role in Memoirs of a Famous Courtesan today was also thanks to Zhou Yan’s help. Moreover, after watching the original film, Yin Shuang Shuang felt that the fiery and distinctive character of Otoha4 was perfect for Zhou Yan. That’s why she had recommended Zhou Yan to Du Sheng. After a brief moment of consideration, Du Sheng agreed without hesitation.
Now all they had to do was wait for Zhou Yan to go to Country M, sign the contract with Du Sheng and the others, and finish her current work. Once she was done, she would join them in Country R for training, and then she would finally have some company! Poor Chen Ye, stuck at home with the kids every day, a once-great Golden Cunt Award-winning actor now reduced to a full-time stay-at-home dad! But looking at how content he seemed, he appeared quite satisfied being Zhou Yan’s man behind the scenes.
