Kapitel 11: **Chapter 11: Aggression**
In the morning, Luca and Kate were having breakfast when Ed called to inform him of the interview result.
He landed an important supporting role with three scenes, totaling over six minutes of screen time. However, two of the scenes were bedroom scenes that would require exposure above the waist.
Ed reminded him to keep working out to maintain a sexy physique.
Luca shook his head helplessly. "So they want me to go for the sexy route?"
"Luca, what's up?" Kate asked curiously.
Luca smiled, "I got a small role in *Sex and the City*."
"That's great, and then?"
"Well, there are two bedroom scenes."
"Bedroom scenes? Hahaha~"
Kate covered her mouth, letting out an unrestrained laugh.
Luca glanced at her and chuckled, "Do you know who I'm doing the scenes with?"
"Who?"
Kate stared at him without blinking, clearly intrigued.
"The second female lead, Kim Cattrall."
"Kim?"
Kate's eyes widened in surprise. She laughed even louder, "Oh~ poor Luca, she's 46 this year. How are you going to do a bedroom scene with her? Hahaha~"
Kate slapped the table and laughed so hard she almost fell to the floor.
Luca calmly looked at her. He was used to it—Kate kept a cold demeanor in public to create a high and aloof image, but in private, she was always laughing and had a very low threshold for humor.
Kate laughed for quite a while before wiping her tears and saying, "Luca, are you sure you want to take this role?"
"Of course. I'm just a newbie actor; I have to seize every opportunity," Luca said as he continued eating.
"Mm-hmm! Makes sense. You go ahead and act; I won't laugh at you."
Kate blinked and said seriously.
"Then can you stop biting your lip?"
"Pfft~ Haha, Luca, don't get mad. I'll control myself soon. Haha~"
"Hmph!"
After finishing their meal, Luca continued working out, attending classes, and studying scripts. On the weekends, he accompanied Kate to three winter fashion shows. His schedule was busy yet leisurely.
Soon, it was time to join the production for filming, and things were about to get hectic.
Early in the morning, Luca arrived at the set.
The set was in a regular apartment on 42nd Street in Manhattan.
This apartment was the home of the second female lead, Kim Cattrall, in the show.
Today's shoot involved interior scenes and bedroom scenes, with no extras.
Only the director, cameraman, makeup artist, prop master, lighting technician, and sound engineer were present—about a dozen people bustling around, each doing their own thing with little conversation.
"Hello, Mr. Star, my name is Luca. I'm playing the role of Chip."
Luca entered the room and greeted the director.
*Sex and the City* employed a split-shooting method, with four female leads filmed separately in four different locations.
The segment director here was Darren Star, responsible for Kim Cattrall's scenes.
He was a man in his forties, thin, with deep-set eyes and thick eyebrows that were often furrowed, giving him a critical gaze.
"You're Luca?"
Director Darren rubbed his chin, sizing him up.
Luca's character, Chip, was a successful man in his thirties.
Previously, Darren had seen Luca's profile, noting that he was only twenty—a newcomer still learning acting.
He worried Luca might not exude the maturity required.
But upon seeing him in person, he changed his mind.
This young man looked only twenty but carried an air of maturity and composure beyond his age. His dark eyes reflected a worldliness unusual for someone so young.
Darren extended his hand, "Luca, welcome to the set!"
"Thank you, Mr. Star!"
Luca shook his hand lightly, maintaining an attitude that was neither arrogant nor subservient, exuding calmness and poise.
"Luca, here's the scene. In a moment, Samantha will knock on the door while you're in a bath towel. The towel should only cover the lower half, exposing your sexy V-line."
Darren began explaining the scene, even wrapping a towel around himself to demonstrate. This was to accommodate Luca's inexperience, offering hands-on guidance to avoid reshoots.
"Mr. Star, I understand."
The scene wasn't complex.
Luca's character, Chip, was a stockbroker.
Kim Cattrall's character, Samantha, was a PR manager.
Samantha was outgoing and full of desire, often taking the initiative to flirt with men.
She wanted to get some insider stock tips and took the initiative to seduce Chip.
Chip wasn't exactly a gentleman. Faced with a woman throwing herself at him, he didn't refuse and even provided some inside information.
Both were consenting adults, and things quickly escalated.
That's *Sex and the City* for you.
"Darren, good morning!"
After a while, Kim Cattrall arrived, her golden hair draped over her shoulders. She wore a green long dress, and despite being in her forties, she had maintained her figure quite well.
"Good morning, Kim."
Darren introduced, "This is Luca; you two should get acquainted."
"Good morning, Ms. Cattrall!"
Luca flashed a handsome smile.
This was his first time meeting her in person.
They hadn't worked on building rapport before shooting.
However, when choosing the role of 'Chip,' the production had fully respected Ms. Cattrall's preferences, providing her with photos of the ten shortlisted candidates. She got to pick which handsome guy she'd be doing the scenes with.
Thanks to Ed's public relations efforts, she chose Luca.
Kim Cattrall eyed him with satisfaction. The young man was very handsome, with deep brown hair neatly styled, chiseled features reminiscent of Greek sculptures, and those sensuous lips.
He was even more attractive in person than in the photos.
"Luca, the profile says you're only twenty, but you don't look it. Oh, sorry, I don't mean you look old, just more mature for your age."
Luca smiled, "Ms. Cattrall, you're right. People who know me say I grew up too fast."
"Hahaha~"
Kim laughed, "Luca, you have a good sense of humor. You can call me Kim."
"Hello, Kim!"
They chatted for a bit, lightening the atmosphere.
Once the set was ready, the director called out, "Luca, take off your clothes and get ready."
"OK!"
Luca replied, then turned to Kim, "Kim, do you mind if I change here?"
Kim smiled, "Luca, we're about to shoot a bedroom scene. Should I be concerned about that?"
Luca gave a slight smile and took off his sweatshirt and pants, leaving only his shorts.
"Wow~ Luca, you have quite the body!"
Kim exclaimed.
His muscles were tight and well-defined, lean yet powerful.
She bit her lip, suddenly looking forward to the scenes.
Director Darren nodded approvingly after a few glances. Luca had an excellent appearance, fitting demeanor, and a top-notch physique—not surprising, given he was a Ford model.
"Makeup, spray some water on Luca's hair and body to make it look like he just got out of the shower."
"Got it, director!"
"Kim, stop gawking. You need to get ready too."
"Alright, Darren!"
Kim went out to prepare.
Ten minutes later, filming began.
There were two camera setups, one at the door and one inside.
One captured Luca as 'Chip,' the other focused on Kim as 'Samantha.'
"Knock, knock, knock!"
The door knocked.
Chip walked out of the bathroom and opened the door, wearing only a white towel around his waist, barely covering the essentials—though he was actually wearing small briefs underneath.
"Welcome to the neighborhood, handsome!"
Samantha smiled slightly, her gaze fiery, openly seductive.
Chip clutched the towel around his waist, flashing an embarrassed yet polite smile. "Hi~ Sorry, I was just in the shower."
"I brought a gift basket to welcome you as my new neighbor. It has cheese, ham, a full set of condoms, and handcuffs."
Samantha held up a gift basket, smiling slyly.
"Handcuffs?"
Chip raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, they're from the adult store next door. Enjoy them!"
Samantha offered the gift basket, smiling seductively.
Chip shrugged, "If I take it, the towel will fall."
Samantha smiled slightly, her eyes blazing, "I know."
Chip boldly pulled off the towel around his hips.
Samantha looked down, as if not seeing the shorts, eyes hot as she glanced over. With a toss of her hair, she walked straight into the apartment.
"Cut!"
The director called for a stop. "Luca, I need your performance to be more aggressive, with bolder, more shameless eyes. Don't treat Kim like a big star; she's Samantha now, a woman who's about to have you."
"Hahaha~"
Everyone on set laughed.
Ms. Cattrall also laughed, "Luca, this is *Sex and the City*, not *Friends*. Our audience is all adults; don't be so reserved."
Luca thought for a moment—he needed to be a bit more flirtatious.
"I understand, Kim. Thank you!"
"Director, I'm ready!"
"Alright, let's go again!"
