Chapter 52 part 3

Yun Feiwu nodded and took the script.

Then, she raised her eyebrows in surprise.

This turned out to be a yuri film.

Although most of Director Hua’s films revolve around emotions, including family, friendship, and romantic love, she had never directed a yuri film.

Or rather, despite the same-sex marriage law being in effect for many years, works of art with same-sex themes have always remained niche due to the size of the audience. Apart from Director Hua, there haven’t been many renowned directors making films about same-sex relationships, especially yuri.

Yun Feiwu quickly suppressed her astonishment and continued reading further.

The script is called “Trajectory,” and the summary is also very simple: Two women whose life trajectories should never have intersected in any way accidentally meet, get to know each other, and become familiar.

The story is set thirty years ago, in an era when same-sex marriage laws had not yet been passed and most people deeply despised the concept of “homosexuality.”

Her existence stands in sharp contrast to everything in this village. She doesn’t seem like a widow confined to a remote mountain farm; instead, she appears more like someone born into a wealthy family, enjoying a life of luxury. With her captivating charm, even the stars in the sky are willing to be plucked for her. She is seen as a troublemaker.

Shu Jinyu had lived in the city for over twenty years but had never seen such a beautiful woman. That night, she dreamt of Ke Yu.

In her dream, Ke Yu gazed at her with those pitiful eyes, not uttering a word, but with a myriad of emotions written in her eyes. Shu Jinyu’s heart raced, and her breathing quickened. Finally, Ke Yu approached her slowly, gently lifting her chin with her fingertips…

Startled awake by the dream, Shu Jinyu licked her lips in confusion and drank a glass of water. By the next morning, she had nearly forgotten about the dream, but whenever she thought of that beautiful woman, she absentmindedly walked into the nearby hills near the farm and coincidentally encountered Ke Yu again.

And so, they met once, twice, thrice…

As time passed, their relationship grew closer, but also developed an illicit affection that should not exist in that era.

Later, their relationship was exposed, and the villagers, who had previously shown a friendly attitude towards Ke Yu, began to view her as a destructive force. Even Shu Jinyu’s former students, who had loved and admired her, were influenced by their parents and labeled her as a “monster,” unwilling to come near her.

For them, Ke Yu became a seductive demon who attracted both men and women without discrimination.

Ke Yu didn’t care, but Shu Jinyu, young and naive, did. She couldn’t understand why her loving parents forced her to marry a stranger and verbally and physically abused her when she refused. That’s why she escaped from home. And now, she also couldn’t comprehend why the villagers’ attitudes towards her had undergone such a drastic change simply because she had fallen in love with someone of the same sex.

It was at this moment that Shu Jinyu received a letter from her family. In the letter, her family expressed that they would no longer pressure her to get married and would support whatever decision she made.

After receiving the letter, Shu Jinyu decided to leave the mountains. She made up her mind to explain her relationship with Ke Yu to her family and bring her into the city. During Shu Jinyu’s time at home, Ke Yu also started handling the farm and preparing for their move to the city.

However, will things go so smoothly?

…

The first half of the script ends here.

Yun Feiwu sighed and looked up, saying, “Teacher Hua, you really know how to stop at a cliffhanger.”

Instead of refuting, Hua Zinan smiled proudly and said, “So, Little Maomao, are you interested in taking on this play? If you take it on, you’ll be able to see the rest of the script…”

Yun Feiwu lowered her gaze slightly.

Participating in a film directed by Director Hua, for her, had all the benefits and no disadvantages. Firstly, Hua’s reputation speaks for itself. Even if it’s a niche lesbian art film, Hua is surely able to create something remarkable. Secondly, the script’s quality is indeed high. Though the story may be simple, it is very captivating

The problem is, this is a yuri film.

Xia Shutong will be jealous.

As for Yun Feiwu, she is also unwilling to play lovers with other women. Moreover, there are quite a few intimate scenes in the script.

Seeing Yun Feiwu hesitating, Hua Zinan gently patted her shoulder, tempting her, saying, “Little Maomao, let me tell you a little secret. This movie actually has a significant psychological suspense element. The second half of the script is all about unraveling mysteries.”

Yun Fei Wu’s eyes lit up.

Upon hearing Hua Zinan’s words, she immediately understood why the simple love story in the first half of the script was so captivating.

Because within the seemingly simple and plain plot, who knows how many hooks have been embedded. Yun Feiwu only briefly skimmed through the script earlier and couldn’t identify all the hooks, but she had a faint feeling that “something seems off about this story.”

If the second half of the script involves twists and revelations, it would make sense. Moreover, if this is not just a simple love story, but also incorporates suspense elements.

With Hua Zinan’s filming techniques, the potential of this film is immeasurable. It could reach remarkable heights.

None of the actors who love acting would refuse a good script, and Yun Feiwu is no exception.

She couldn’t help but lick her lips, feeling a little moved.

Hua Zinan pushed her gold-rimmed glasses and smiled even more softly. She was about to continue persuading when Yun Feiwu’s phone suddenly vibrated.

“Teacher Hua, it’s my boss’s call.” Yun Feiwu smiled politely.

Hua Zinan waved her hand with a smile, “Go ahead, go ahead.”

Of course, she knew that the executive producer of ‘Trajectory’ was discussing investment matters with Wutong. Hua Zinan’s movies never lacked investment; in fact, investment companies begged to cooperate with them. But this time, they took the initiative to approach Wutong, showing sincerity and hoping that Yun Feiwu would participate in the film.

And just at that moment, President Xia of Wutong suddenly called, probably wanting to discuss this matter with Yun Feiwu.

Hua Zinan believed that no businessman would have a problem with money, so this time Yun Feiwu would definitely join the ‘Trajectory’ crew.

…

Yun Feiwu talked with Xia Shutong for a long time, for over twenty minutes, before she finally entered the corridor.

“Teacher Hua,” at this moment, Yun Feiwu’s smile was gentle and cute, especially with those sparkling gray eyes, making it charming to the elders.

Hua Zinan immediately narrowed her eyes with a smile.

She had heard that Yun Feiwu had become more and more calm over the years, and especially didn’t like to smile. When they met just now, although Yun Feiwu was sensible and polite, there was always a faint smile on her face. But now, Yun Feiwu was so well-behaved that it distressed people.

Hua Zinan felt like she was now a doting grandmother. No matter what Yun Feiwu said at this moment, she would agree.

Then, she heard Yun Feiwu’s sweet voice.

“Teacher Hua, I suppose you want me to play Shu Jinyu, right? Has the other lead actor… been decided?”

Hua Zinan shook her head, immediately understanding the meaning behind Yun Feiwu’s words, “Maomao, do you have a recommended candidate?”

“Yes.” Yun Feiwu nodded obediently. “Teacher Hua, I have someone, who is particularly suitable. I wonder if you’re willing to give her an audition opportunity?”

Everyone could support me in Kofi, for every coffee an extra chapter would be released. Please don’t forget to mention the name of the novel you want to support, so that I won’t confuse it with the other novel I’m currently translating.
