I was a 19 year old Asian student still studying when I dreamt of becoming an actress. I wanted the glamour all actress seemed to enjoy.
During an autograph signing session held by one of the popular actress I had admired, I met a director whom people knew as Mr. Wang. He was a rather plump and big sized chinese who appeared to be someone rather professional from the tone of his voice and dressing.
"Hi Mr. Wang, my name is Xinmin. I've always dreamt of becoming an actress. Do you happen to be needing a new face in any of your upcoming movies?" I said.
"Well, I'm in search of an actress who's open enough to act in a RA film I'm about to begin filming. If you're interested, come by my hotel on Monday night at 8pm for the interview."
With that, he gave me his hotel address and room number.
I had some initial reservations of being an actress in an RA film and was contemplating on not going for the interview. Given that it was a Sunday then, I effectively had 1 day to think about it. After some consideraton, I realised that this could be my only chance at becoming a popular actress. Having the idea that I would only be wearing revealing clothes and being touched intimately, amist a conservative society, during the filming, I felt it was an acceptable bargain to become what I truly wanted to be.
My school ended late that day and I went to his hotel straight from school in my school uniform. Arriving at his hotel early, I went to corridor of his room to do up my hair, pinafore and blouse to look presentable. All of a sudden, his room door opened and out came a women who slammed his door shut with an expression of disgust and anger. I was shocked in seeing this but soon carried on doing up myself. The excitement I had for going for this interview was unable to be told by words. At 8pm, I knocked on his door and waited for him to open it. There he was standing in his t-shirt and trousers. He stayed in a dexule room which came along with a sofa for which he asked me to take a seat on.
He sat relaxed on a couch inches away from the sofa I was sitting on directly in front of me.
"Xinmin, you're the last candidate I'm interviewing for the day and possibly the only girl whose going to get the job. All before you weren't open enough to be suited for the actress I'm looking for."
This statement made me ponder about the possible reasons as to why the lady who left his room before I entered appeared to be so disgusted and angered. It was, however, also bringing my excitement level to an all time high as I knew now my chances of getting this job now was very good.
"I'm very open and willing to do anything to get the job and do the job well!" I said with great excitement.
He leaned forward towards me and placed his 2 hands on my lap under my pinafore.
