Chapter 362: Airport
After getting off the plane, Esk was searching for the person who picked him up in the crowd. Suddenly, Esk’s gaze paused on someone. He was stunned for two seconds and whispered to Samir, “Mr. Samir, that lady…”
Samir turned around and saw a woman wearing a white sunscreen with an ethnic-style strap dress. The woman was wearing sunglasses and had very fair skin. Her figure was curvy and she looked youthful and charming.
Just as Samir looked over, Guan Yun also walked towards Samir and the others.
Guan Yun smiled and greeted him warmly with a hint of Esk’s local accent. “Mr. Samir, I can’t believe I bumped into you here.”
Samir knew Guan Yune The two of them had met on the red carpet of several film festivals and had a brief conversation.
As one of the few Asian faces in the Western film industry, although Guan Yun’s works were not many, her name was widely known. Western audiences had long regarded Guan Yun as one of the representatives of Asian actors.
Samir forced a smile. After what had happened to Lu Zhen, he had a subconscious fear of beautiful women. Perhaps the more beautiful a woman was, the more terrifying she was!
However, Guan Yun did not offend Samir. Samir still nodded politely and asked, “Miss Guan Yun, are you going on a vacation?”
Guan Yun shook her head. “No, an official website in the country has invited me to participate in the gala. I haven’t had much work recently, so I’m preparing to return to the country early.”
Although there was nothing wrong with Guan Yun’s words, Samir still sensed something amiss. His eyes flickered as he said, “Miss Guan Yun, are you going back to the country to develop?”
Guan Yun laughed self-deprecatingly. “It’s hard to say. At my age, I’m actually no longer as brave as I was in the past. It might be much easier to return to Country Z to film movies and television dramas than to struggle alone outside. I’ll earn more money. I don’t plan to get married and have children.
It’s time to prepare for my later years.”
Guan Yun e s words sounded a little bleak.
Samir actually understood Guan Yun’s current situation very well. Although Guan Yun was famous internationally, big directors would only consider local actresses.
All these years, Guan Yun had only been able to act in some supporting roles, but the competition for supporting roles was not small. The cruelty of the international film industry was not much better than that of the Chinese entertainment industry.
It was already very difficult for Guan Yun to go from Country Z to international, but it was too difficult for her to take another step forward.
Samir smiled casually. “You’re still young. You look almost as youthful and energetic as my little granddaughter, who has just come of age. There are still many possibilities in your future. Don’t set a framework for yourself too early. Life is a wilderness, not a track.’
“Life is a wilderness, not a track…” Guan Yun recited these words thoughtfully. There seemed to be confusion and struggle in her eyes. Finally, she sighed softly and smiled faintly at Samir. “Thank you, Mr. Samir, for your comfort. You must be tired after such a long flight. I won’t disturb you any longer. 1 hope I’ll have a chance to talk to you again next time.”
Samir nodded and watched Guan Yun’s beautiful back disappear from his sight. After seeing Guan Yun, Samir remembered that when he was considering the role of the Forest Princess, he had also included Guan Yun in his consideration. Moreover, Guan Yun was ranked at the front of his pre-selection.
Guan Yun had acting skills and was very popular in Country Z. She also had a good reputation. After acting in a few foreign movies, the Western audience was very familiar with her and accepted her.
If he chose Guan Yun to play the role of Forest Princess, it would be a very safe choice to be able to take care of both foreign audiences and Chinese audiences.
However, after meeting Lu Zhen yesterday, Samir had a very good impression of her. He thought about choosing a new Oriental actress. Perhaps she could bring novelty to foreign audiences. At that time, he had long forgotten about
Guan Yun.
At this moment, after encountering Guan Yun at the airport, Samir recalled his previous thoughts.
Moreover, Guan Yun’s self-deprecating and slightly lonely tone also made Samir feel a trace of sympathy.
As a director, he had seen too many actors who worked hard on the path of their dreams but did not get anything in return. Therefore, he understood Guan Yun’s situation very well. The faint sadness in Guan Yun’s expression even made him feel a trace of pity.
If he got Guan Yun to play the role of Forest Princess, it would give Guan Yun a new opportunity in her career. It might be a turning point for her entire life..
