Chapter 1118: Being Forced to Hug

Alan's agent contacted Michael Films, but the other party's attitude was perfunctory. They did not admit that they were planning to shoot any Chinese-themed movies. The agent understood that they were unwilling to cooperate with Alan, just because Alan was a popular male lead of Michael Films and Michael Films did not want to have any disputes with Michael Films.

Alan felt discouraged and helpless, and then he saw the video of Yu Zhan saving cats. He initially paid attention to this matter because he felt that the two cats were pitiful, and his sympathy was aroused, so donating $200,000 was not a big deal. As a result, netizens were discussing that the veterinarian who saved the cats was the boyfriend of a Han Dynasty princess, and he began to pay attention to Yu Zhan.

Yu Zhan felt a little uncomfortable under Alan's gaze. Since just now, Alan had been staring at his face with an unfathomable look. This look was extremely complicated. Burning? Conflicted? As if there was something unspeakable? As a Hollywood star, a handsome face with such a look would undoubtedly be extremely lethal to women, but Yu Zhan was a man... Alan was a little taller than him, looking down at him urgently, which made him feel very stressed!

Yu Zhan inexplicably thought of the information on Google - Alan's clean private life, his three ex-girlfriends who parted ways amicably, could it be...he is a special person? If so, it would explain why he has such good assets, but is not as scandal-ridden as other Hollywood male stars. After all, if his identity as a special person is exposed, his female fans would probably be heartbroken and leave him.

Yu Zhan had to cough lightly, and Alan came back to his senses. He turned his head and looked at Olive, who was standing in an attacking posture. As long as Alan got close to it, it would not let down its guard. "I have never raised a cat. I thought cats and dogs were the same."

Alan's plan to adopt a cat was not a spur of the moment decision. He had always wanted to have a cat, but he also wanted to meet this cat to see what charm he had that made the Han Dynasty princess willing to be with him.

"As long as you treat them with care, there's actually not much difference, but it does require a little skill and talent." Yu Zhan reached his hand into the cage, and Olive gently lay down, listening to him very well. "Do you still want to adopt it now?"

Alan was indeed a little hesitant. He couldn't handle Olive. "I don't have your talent. Maybe I should adopt a kitten and develop a relationship with it from an early age, just like me and Buddy."

His tone sounded very sincere, and he took the initiative to contact him several times, which showed his sincerity. There was no doubt about it - Yu Zhan considered letting him adopt one of the remaining two kittens, so he took Alan to another room where Susan and her three babies were. The youngest mother cat was still very weak and lived in an incubator, while the other two were able to sleep with their mother.

...

...

They didn't go in, but stood outside the glass door and watched. Except for those who were perverted and had dark hearts, no one in the world would hate such a cute little life. Looking at the kitten sleeping in its mother's arms, Alan's heart, which had been in a mess for various reasons, calmed down.

"You're right, veterinary medicine is a very meaningful profession," he said to Yu Zhan, "I envy you!"

Yu Zhan didn't get the double meaning. "Every profession has its own meaning. You are an actor, a medium for conveying art. You present different stories to the audience, allowing them to better understand this colorful world. This is even more meaningful."

Although Alan knew that Yu Zhan's words were just polite talk, he was moved because he touched his heart. "Many people don't understand drama at all. They think it is a profession that makes money quickly and that acting equals making money. It is undeniable that when I first started working in this industry, I was chasing fame and fortune. Gradually, I found that money is not the most important thing in life. I like drama, stage plays, and spoken dramas. I want to express the characters in a good script through emotion, body language and language. But the reality is that there are not so many good scripts in Hollywood. Even if there are, they are overshadowed by more commercial scripts. It is so difficult to find a pearl in the ocean," Alan said with emotion.

The cat and Yu Zhan made him open up. He did not have the freedom to speak like this in any other occasion. Instead, the pet hospital at night became a place for him to complain.

"I started acting at the age of 18, became famous at the age of 20, and I am 30 this year. I have acted in 34 movies in total, half of which I was the leading actor. Five of them have grossed over $1 billion, and the total box office of all my movies has exceeded $20 billion. So what?" Alan laughed self-deprecatingly, "I have never won an Oscar. In the eyes of those movie industry bosses, I am just a tool for them to make money."

Yu Zhan didn't expect Alan to talk to him about this kind of topic that only friends would talk about. They had only met twice. He guessed what setbacks Alan had encountered recently that made him unable to help but complain in front of a stranger like him?

"My girlfriend occasionally acts part-time. She is different from you. She acts for money and fame. I bought a film and television company to help her make money. Maybe I am also the 'movie boss' that you despise. Of course, this is just my side job."

Yu Zhan's way of comforting people was like an American joke, which made Alan laugh, "Is your girlfriend a princess from the Han Dynasty?"

"Yes," Yu Zhan was not surprised at all that Alan knew Liu?.

"That's great..." Alan murmured, and then said, "I wish you happiness!"
