Upon hearing this, Zhou Junye couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
"So you really found your biological father so quickly?"
"Of course it's fake! Didn't you all see the paternity test report during my live stream?"
Zhou Junye sighed, "I never imagined that your biological father had such a moving story. Have you discussed it with him and he agreed?"
"Yes. I only started planning this project in my mind after getting his consent. I also reached an agreement with Shen Jinghe, and now with your addition, I think that even if we don't achieve huge success, we shouldn't fail either. I don't expect to make a lot of money from this movie; I just want to gain some attention for certain groups, like 'Pangolin.' I think any director might refuse, but you definitely won't, right!"
"Yes!" Zhou Junye exclaimed excitedly. "Of course I won't refuse. As for the screenwriter, do you have a suitable candidate?"
"Well..." Wen Yan raised an eyebrow, "It's both far away and right in front of us."
"You alone?" Zhou Junye asked, somewhat surprised. "Can you do it?"
Wen Yan was not angry at Zhou Junye's questioning.
"Give it a try. How will I know if I can do it if I don't try? I'll give it a shot first, and if it doesn't meet my standards, I'll go find a screenwriter."
"Alright. After all, you're one of the people involved in this matter, and your feelings are a good starting point. However, I also know a few good screenwriters, and I can introduce you to them if needed."
"Okay! I'll show you the script when it's finished. I hope it won't disappoint you, Director."
Zhou Junye raised his glass: "Then let's wish each other all the best!"

Wen Yan quickly got into the filming.
"The Last Pangolin" is planned to be 40 minutes long. The film has few scenes and the relationships between the characters are not complicated, so the shooting period is relatively short.
After spending another week or so in the mountains, filming for this movie was considered complete.
When filming wrapped, Wen Yan's eyes were swollen from crying.
As a human mother who adopted a baby pangolin, she witnessed truckloads of pangolin carcasses being transported away.
Pangolins can only defend themselves, not attack. When defending, they curl their bodies into a ball.
Their scales are incredibly hard, and when they curl up, there is no opening.
Humans have tried every possible method to skin and remove their armor.
They used fire, they poured cement on it, it was incredibly cruel...
After the rescue attempt failed, the human mother, played by Wen Yan, was severely beaten by the poachers.
The little pangolin, disguised as a girl, crawled over and fed her water. She couldn't speak, but her eyes were filled with tears.
She told the little girl to go back, to go back to the deep mountains, and never come near humans again. She told her not to come near me, and never, ever to come out again.
The little girl was extremely reluctant, but the human mother still cruelly pushed her away.
Alone and helpless, she walked into the depths of the forest in the early morning fog, looking back every few steps.
Finally, the silhouette gradually transformed from that of a little girl into that of a tiny pangolin, disappearing into the boundless night.
The next day, the sun rose as usual, but the poachers did not stop.
