Since the city became completely free of gender issues, bars, pubs and dance floors related to this topic have sprung up like mushrooms. Older, more secluded bars have also been bustling with innovation and promotion. But among them, there are only a few bars that have been around for a long time and are frequented by celebrities in the industry.

Faye also had a familiar bar like that, sitting in her usual spot in the corner, her red lips sipping a strong whiskey while swaying to the music, her long brown hair curled slightly to her waist, loose and casual. People passing by sometimes couldn't help but look back and gossip because of her beauty. But it still didn't bother Faye, she was still immersed in the music, her hand gently caressing her wine glass, just like the way she gently caressed her tea cup this afternoon when meeting her partner.

Every now and then, out of habit, she would raise her head and give her heartwarming smile to the strangers around her who were looking at her. Her eyes, red from the alcohol, would flicker, then Faye would lower her head and be lost in her own world.

"Pretty girl, don't you have a date today?" A deep voice rang out. The person who came was a girl as tall as Faye, with a beautiful and unique face, short gray hair cut to her shoulders, wearing black Ray Ban glasses that covered half of her V-line face.

"Nam ah.." Faye smiled gently when she saw that the person who came was her best friend, she reached out to hug Nam's waist. "If you're late, you'll have to be punished."

Nam was already used to her friend's love of hugging, especially when Faye drank. She also put her arm around Faye's shoulder. "Stop it, my friend. I came right over when you called." Nam raised her hand to call the waiter, giving her a martini and more wine for her friend.

Nam knew very well that Faye had never been drunk, she had been like that since she was little, she just liked to enjoy the feeling of alcohol in her body, so she wouldn't let herself get drunk that quickly.

The two have been best friends since the end of high school. Nam's father is a businessman, her mother works in the government, so she has received the most advanced education since she was young. The two of them originally belonged to two different worlds, because Nam lived abroad with her grandparents since she was young. It wasn't until she was in high school that her grandmother passed away, and she had to return to the country to live with her parents. It was here that Nam first learned about the school goddess Faye. Actually, since the day Nam appeared, because of her beauty, the school also considered Nam as the second goddess. The two of them were not compatible at first sight, one was beautiful and gentle, the other was strong and cold. But it was fate that they became friends, that year a female student confessed to Nam, then was rejected, then that female student with eyes above the sky continued to confess to Faye. It was also because of this that Nam learned that Faye was also in the same circle and from then on became friends.

"If you keep drinking like this, sooner or later your stomach ache will come back." Nam ordered some more snacks for her friend, still holding Faye in her arms.

"You can give up everything, but not alcohol or Nam, haha," Faye said with a happy smile. A cheerful person like her could never restrain herself from joking around. Faye still relied on Nam. These two best friends seemed to really enjoy skinship with each other. This was actually killing two birds with one stone. Except for fans, Faye didn't like strangers trying to get to know her when going to bars like this, so she had long since developed the habit of hugging her relatives and friends so that others would think they were a couple and not come talk to her. Especially Nam was often hugged like that by her, even when the two became famous, this habit couldn't be changed, so it often caused misunderstandings.

"How was your meeting with Galaxy today?" Nam asked casually, looking at the people passing by on the dance floor.

When it came to work, Faye became serious. She sat up straight, her right hand fondling the ring on her left index finger as a habit.

"They sent me the script, I read it through. And there's nothing to complain about."

"Is it fit to compete?" Nam took a sip of her martini, propped her chin in her hand, and looked at Faye intently.

"Very suitable." Faye stroked a few strands of hair that were leaning against Nam's forehead. "It suits me and gives me a strong sense of success. The film has both emotions, psychology and crime investigation action interwoven. It will be a challenge for me, but not too difficult to overcome."

Nam looked at her evil friend from top to bottom, "Do you need to change your appearance?" After all, it's a gay movie, so she wonder if the producers have any strange requests.

Faye unconsciously rebuttoned the top button of the shirt she was wearing, "I need to be attractive and charming but with a strong style, both men and women will be attracted to me."

"Haha, isn't that yourself... Then what are you worried about? Just accept it. It's not the first time you've taken on such difficult cases." Nam teased her friend and said in confusion. Even though she hadn't acted professionally in the past few years, Faye had always been cultivating and preparing. She even attended classes on action acting and character psychology. She had studied for ten years just to wait for this opportunity.

"It has a pretty tough Unspoken Agreement attached to it." Friends for many years, Faye knew that Nam would understand just by saying that.

Despite her prestigious family, Nam left everything behind to pursue the acting career she wanted. Apart from being friends, the two were also co-stars in several movies and music videos. Even if you haven't eaten pork, you know what a pig is like. Nam completely understands the unspoken rules in this gossipy world.

"Huhmm... Did you have to sacrifice anything?"

"It's called a movie deal, but the content of the deal is mainly between two people." Faye took another sip of whiskey, held it in her mouth, and then slowly swallowed it. "... My co-star hasn't been selected yet. If the person isn't suitable, this deal will be like a double-edged sword."

So there would be physical contact within the permissible limits, Nam thought to herself. If it was beyond that limit, Faye would have immediately refused without a second thought.

The two were silent for a moment, listening to the lively music around them: "Try following the selection closely. If the producer chooses someone who is too difficult to swallow, then give up."

Faye pondered, giving up like that would be a pity for that little girl , she turned and blew gently into Nam's ear, smiling sweetly and joking

"That's a hot deal. Jealous, my friend?"

Nam glanced at Faye, this friend was always joking around like that, one day she would play into fire. "Accept this movie, then ask to participate in the selection of the remaining actors. With your position, Galaxy will definitely agree to this request."

The next song that played was Nam and Faye's favorite. Faye smiled and blew Nam a kiss, then started dancing to the music. Nam smiled and pulled her friend onto the dance floor. They were so close friends that there was no need to say much. Nam knew that Faye had definitely made the right choice for herself.

....

It was three days later when Thomas received confirmation from Faye's studio. The contract and the Tripartite Agreement were only requested by Faye's company for some minor adjustments. These changes were not too big and Galaxy could accept them. Along with that was the request for Faye to participate in the selection process for the remaining female lead, which made Thomas think a little.

'If a vase were chosen for the remaining main role, Faye's side would probably refuse the role.'

Thomas felt that Faye was worrying too much about this. This was a huge project, and the director had invited a talented director, so there was no reason for Galaxy to put a flower vase with no acting skills or some incompetent son of a rich man into this film. He just forgot that this film focused on another issue, which was the interaction between the two actors. If the other actor was not suitable for Faye, she would have difficulty interacting. If it weren't for her company's twisted Three-Party Agreement, a professional like Faye would definitely not get involved in the casting process.

"The second female lead casting has already reached the second round and they still haven't found anyone. Today is the last day of the second round, I'll let them know that they can continue participating. I'll send them the full address and time." Thomas assigned the task to her assistant.

Unlike Faye's role, the remaining female lead role does not have such high requirements. This role only requires her to be under 23 years old, pretty and cute, and have acting skills. The difficult parts are all dominated by Faye's role, and this girl only needs to get along with Faye. There are no other personal requirements, just a clean private life and no scandals. It is truly like looking for a youthful school love, this female lead only needs to bring the cute and beautiful feeling of a goddess of youth, then she will definitely be chosen.

Faye's role had to be filled by someone outside the company. So for this role, the management hoped that they could select someone from the company or someone new to sign a contract with the company. But by the second round of casting, they had even recruited amateur actors and idols from the market, but the director still hadn't agreed. If they still couldn't find anyone today, the director would have to choose someone from the list of people who had auditioned before. There would be no third round of casting for this role.
