Cen Yu remembered that Mu Fengyin played a minor role in Gu Hanyin's movie, appearing for about 10 minutes.

Because he completely abandoned his idol image and his performance was so different from his previous one, many industry insiders praised Mu Fengyin's performance, which laid the foundation for his future development in other fields.

"Did Teacher Mu receive any inside information?" Cen Yu asked Mu Fengyin.

Otherwise, he wouldn't understand why Mu Fengyin would suddenly ask him this.

"I guess so," Mu Fengyin readily admitted. "Director Gu has already inquired about my availability."

Both of them are quite intelligent, so there's no need to be too blunt.

Mu Fengyin's words were also an answer to Cen Yu's question, telling him that Gu Hanyin had indeed made some moves recently, and it was highly likely that the movie was about to start filming.

“I did participate in the audition,” Cen Yu said, “but He Ci told me not to tell anyone.”

Of course, even if He Ci didn't confess, he wouldn't go around telling everyone.

Mu Fengyin looked at Cen Yu and said, "Then I look forward to seeing you on set."

"..." Cen Yu pondered, why do the people around him have such unrealistic confidence in him?

He couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Mu, do you know what this situation is called in fan fiction?"

Mu Fengyin was too lazy to even think about how Cen Yu's thought process got involved with fanfiction. He simply asked, "What's it called?"

"It's called 'love makes people lose their minds,'" Cen Yu concluded, shaking his index finger.

Mu Fengyin didn't understand Cen Yu's meaning at first, but after a second, he looked at Cen Yu and said, "You mean, I only thought you could pass the audition because I'm love-struck?"

“Fan fiction, I mean fan fiction!” Cen Yu immediately added.

Mu Fengyin laughed in exasperation, "I just have faith in you."

He seemed to remember something, "Didn't Qian Aige have a pig-slaughtering scene?"

“?” Cen Yu gave him a look that said, “You know that?”

“I’ve read the script,” Mu Fengyin said succinctly.

When Gu Hanyin approached him, he had already read the entire script—of course, he had signed a contract, and if it got out, he would definitely have to pay huge compensation—he wasn't the kind of artist who would just take on a role based on the character's persona or because of a famous director.

Even renowned directors and famous actors can stumble and fall because of "debts of gratitude."

Mu Fengyin couldn't allow such an accident to happen to him, so when he talked to Gu Hanyin about the play, he said that he had to read the script first, and the entire script, before he could make a decision.

Gu Hanyin didn't seem to have any particular reaction to this. She simply took out the printed script and made a simple request: the script could only be read there and could not be taken away.

So that day, Mu Fengyin watched from morning till night—

After careful consideration, I decided to take on this role.

Mu Fengyin knew the plot of the script, and he also knew about the scene where Qian Aige and Sun Biao slaughtered the pig. He heard that Gu Hanyin did not give the actors a script before the audition, and they had to draw the script on the spot and perform it on the spot...

As if he had just realized something, he said, "You drew the scene of slaughtering pigs."

Mu Fengyin spoke with certainty, otherwise Cen Yu wouldn't have known there was another scene involving pig slaughtering.

"But I remember that part of the script wasn't fully completed yet."

When Mu Fengyin was reading that part of the script, he noticed a note at the end that said "to be determined".

There might be further revisions later. Could it be that Gu Hanyin has already finished revising this scene? He looked at Cen Yu, wanting an answer.

“It’s not finished,” Cen Yu said.

Since Mu Fengyin was an insider, Cen Yu felt there was no need to hide anything. "The script I drew at the time... was very simple."

"Then you should have done well."

"Why?" Cen Yu pointed to himself, "Do I look like I'm good at butchering pigs?"

Mu Fengyin knew that Cen Yu was changing the subject... He looked at Cen Yu standing next to him, and the scene in the private room came back to his mind.

Cen Yu sat next to Ran Xuan, his words calm, yet strangely tinged with a hint of ruthlessness.

Especially when he picked up his chopsticks, not only Ran Xuan, but even the man standing to the side felt a momentary shiver.

At that moment, Mu Fengyin felt that if the character Qian Aige existed, she would probably be like this.

Mu Fengyin had even considered introducing Cen Yu to Gu Hanyin if she couldn't find a suitable role for Qian Aige... He had copied the video from the private room that day, but of course, he didn't intend to show it to Gu Hanyin.

The more people who know about this, the less favorable it will be for Cen Yu.

As for why he copied it, perhaps even Mu Fengyin himself didn't know.

“Intuition.” Mu Fengyin stopped in his tracks.

They had reached the edge of the villa area. Mu Fengyin turned to Cen Yu and said, "It's getting late, let's go back first."

Cen Yu understood that this meant the conversation was over.

The two walked back the way they came. When they arrived at the panda enclosure, Mu Fengyin reminded them again, "Make sure it's a staff member before opening the door."

Cen Yu keenly sensed something was amiss. "Did some stalker really sneak in?"

"It's hard to say," Mu Fengyin said.

This was something he heard from his assistant: one of the guest stars was a currently very popular celebrity known for spoiling his fans. Their arrival at the airport almost caused a stampede, which is why the production team reacted so quickly when they arrived.

Furthermore, Mu Fengyin also knew that the airport pickup was specifically arranged by the other party's agent in the fan group.

Just a few hours ago, this person also posted on Weibo, thanking fans for picking them up at the airport, but also hoping that everyone would pay attention to safety and maintain order.
