Chapter 702 I Want to Give It a Try (8600 words updated!)
"It really tastes good. I'll bring Siqi here to eat next time." Lu Yanhe put down his fork, wiped his mouth, and poured some wine into his and Chen Ziyan's glasses. "How about this much tonight? I can rest tomorrow, but can you?"
Chen Ziyan waved her hand with a smile, "This little bit of wine is nothing."
“Okay.” Lu Yanhe knew that Chen Ziyan could drink more than him.
Chen Ziyan said, "This time, Situ's achievements were indeed beyond expectations. However, they also caused a huge change in the situation. Just like you said, although you had reached the top before, it was only a temporary peak. After this Situ, you have truly reached the top. The history of Chinese-language films cannot be separated from your name."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
Often, in any industry, only a handful of names truly shine. The film industry is slightly different; it's an industry with immense public scrutiny and a public nature, so many people seem to be celebrities. However, the relentless flow of time doesn't erase them. As decades pass, like sand being washed away by the waves, very few names remain.
In fact, Chen Bige and Shang Yongzhou were already actors destined to leave a prominent mark on film history.
But that's not enough; it's different. Some people leave their mark on film history, while others make that period of film history significant.
Why does Chen Ziyan want Lu Yanhe to take an international route? Even though the Chinese film market is already booming and there is no need to explore the international market, she still agrees with Lu Yanhe and actively seeks out international film resources.
Because we have made further progress, the domestic market has been opened up and developed. Whether it is the cultural dissemination value of film to the country or the driving force for the film industry to expand overseas, Chinese films have reached the point where they need to "go global".
If in the past, "going global" was more about winning "honor and recognition" on the international stage, now "going global" is more like a natural behavior that "comes naturally".
Chen Ziyan believes that the history of Chinese cinema, as it stands, is definitely not limited to simply reaching the second-place finish at the box office in a single market. So, in this new phase, who are the representative figures of this era?
She had a profound understanding of Lu Yanhe's career plans—
The considerations were so profound that she didn't dare to tell Lu Yanhe too much or in too much detail.
Because it's unnecessary.
Also because actors need to maintain their purity.
Agents need to understand the overall trend, while actors need to stay true to themselves. This is the best kind of working relationship.
“However, I really didn’t expect Deng Xiaoyuan to suddenly get pregnant.” Chen Ziyan shook her head. “I also didn’t expect you to insist on letting Deng Xiaoyuan stay in the crew.”
“If we can achieve both goals, then of course we should strive to achieve both,” Lu Yanhe said. “Actually, Chen Yin and the others must have already come up with a solution; they just wanted to see my attitude.”
"Wow, you've improved. So tell me, what kind of attitude do they want to see from you?"
“Although Deng Xiaoyuan wasn’t directly selected by me, they all felt that she was related to me, after all, we acted together in ‘Chinese Paladin.’ So, if she might delay the filming due to personal reasons, what would I do?” Lu Yanhe said. “Officially, it would help them weigh their attitude towards those related to me in future projects. Personally, they are also constantly confirming whether I am still the same person they know, unchanged, because if I change, many of their things will also have to change accordingly. They are all top-notch managers, experienced in the workplace, good at managing subordinates, and good at understanding superiors’ intentions. They all have the ability to adapt to changing circumstances and present the image that I like and accept most in front of me.”
"Wow—" Chen Ziyan exclaimed in amazement, her eyes widening in astonishment. "Your ability to see through people's hearts is truly impressive."
Lu Yanhe: "Don't you think I've improved a lot?"
“You’ve not just made great progress, you’ve made outstanding progress,” Chen Ziyan said. “But never mind, I know you. Don’t listen to your wise and experienced way of speaking, as if you’ve figured out how the world works. In reality, you’re still just as naive when you need to be.”
Lu Yanhe laughed.
He admitted that Chen Ziyan was right.
Chen Ziyan put down her napkin and said, "I'm going to the restroom."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
-
Chen Ziyan went to the restroom and ran into Zhang Yuezhen in front of the sink.
She paused only briefly before slowing her pace without changing her expression, and glanced at Zhang Yuezhen in the mirror.
Just then, Zhang Yuezhen looked at her in the mirror.
Their eyes met.
They had never actually interacted directly, but strangely enough, at this moment, Chen Ziyan felt that she and Zhang Yuezhen were experiencing a flow state.
This state of flow—
It's like a sense of déjà vu, like "I know you know what I'm thinking, and you know I know what you're thinking."
Chen Ziyan walked into the restroom.
She could feel Zhang Yuezhen's gaze subtly following her back.
About three minutes later, Chen Ziyan came out, but Zhang Yuezhen was no longer at the sink.
-
"Director, we'll definitely have more projects to collaborate on in the future. Don't think I'm bothering you all the time."
Zhang Yuezhen greeted Shen Tailin with a smile, her actions considerate and meticulous. As Shen Tailin got into the car, she even raised her hand to gently shield his head.
Shen Tailin took Zhang Yuezhen's hand and said with a smile, "How could I find you annoying?"
He patted it gently, then let go.
Zhang Yuezhen remained calm and said, "Next week, I will bring my newly signed actress to ask you to take a look. I also hope that Director Xu will give her more opportunities."
Shen Tailin chuckled and placed his hands on his thighs.
Zhang Yue gently pressed her hand on it, "Then it's settled."
She gently patted Shen Tailin's hand, straightened up, smiled, gently closed the car door, and took a step back.
She smiled and waited until the driver drove away, turned the corner, and was out of her sight before she turned around.
-
“Zou Dong is already on his way,” Lu Yanhe asked. “Sister Ziyan, what about your car? How about we take you back first, and your assistant can pick it up tomorrow?”
Chen Ziyan has been drinking and cannot drive.
"Okay." Chen Ziyan nodded.
“The weather is actually perfect for an after-dinner stroll.” Lu Yanhe looked out the window at the night view. Although this area is in a bustling area, there are green spaces downstairs for nearby residents to relax and take walks. “I feel like I’m getting old. I never used to have the urge to go for a walk.”
Chen Ziyan laughed and said, "You're only twenty-four, not even twenty-five yet, right? Don't talk nonsense. I can't stand hearing this kind of talk in front of someone as old as me."
Lu Yanhe: "Why do I feel like I've lived half a lifetime?"
"Because you're at a stage where you're prematurely old," Chen Ziyan said. "First, it's adolescence, and second, it's the year or two after graduation. Both are periods when people feel they're aging rapidly. Of course, when you actually get old, you'll realize how ridiculous and laughable that illusion was."
Lu Yanhe: "I really feel like I've been through a lot."
“I admit you’ve been through a lot,” Chen Ziyan nodded. “However, it’s all been for the best. You really learned to endure hardship early on, so you can enjoy the good things in life at a young age. So you’re lucky. Many people suffer a lot, and when things get better, they no longer have the energy to enjoy the most carefree joys of youth. But you’re different now that you’re older. Isn’t that wonderful?”
"Sometimes I really want to laugh like an idiot, but I just can't seem to manage it."
"It's okay if you can't be silly and happy, but being silly and sad is really stupid."
"Hahaha." Lu Yanhe laughed loudly.
"Knock knock!" Suddenly someone knocked on the door.
Chen Ziyan and Lu Yanhe were both somewhat surprised.
The dishes had already been served in their private room, so the waiter shouldn't have knocked on the door again.
The next second, Zhang Yuezhen opened the door and appeared in the doorway.
Her gaze was as calm as the surface of an autumn lake.
Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan were caught off guard by this scene.
"What a coincidence to run into you here." Zhang Yuezhen smiled slightly. "Since we've met, why don't we chat?"
Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan exchanged a glance.
Lu Yanhe quickly understood Chen Ziyan's meaning.
Chen Ziyan was trying to gauge his intentions.
Lu Yanhe was a little confused for a moment, unsure of how to face Zhang Yuezhen.
He wasn't mentally prepared.
But the reality didn't allow him to think too much.
If she doesn't speak or respond, that's one thing, but Lu Yanhe doesn't want Zhang Yuezhen to think he's afraid of her.
Lu Yanhe smiled, not deliberately in a nonchalant way, but rather with a hint of unease, though not with intense hatred or strong emotions.
"What are you talking about?" Lu Yanhe asked, looking directly at Zhang Yuezhen.
Zhang Yuezhen: "I think we have a lot to talk about, and at least on some key issues, we can reach a consensus."
Lu Yanhe: "I have nothing to agree on with you."
"It doesn't matter if people find out you're an illegitimate child?" Zhang Yuezhen suddenly cut to the chase.
Lu Yanhe retorted, "Does it make a difference to me? Have I created a persona of a complete family for myself?"
Chen Ziyan retorted, "Did Chen Pinhe suggest you say all this today? Does he know about your actions?"
Zhang Yuezhen paused, then smiled.
“I see,” she said. “You want to talk to him?”
"I don't want to talk to any of you." Lu Yanhe said to Chen Ziyan, "Ziyan, our car is almost here, let's go out."
Strangely enough, at first Lu Yanhe hadn't figured out what to do, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he understood.
It's not that we don't see eye to eye, it's that there's no need to talk.
There was no possibility of reconciliation from the very beginning. No, not reconciliation, but the possibility of sitting down and having a proper talk from the very beginning.
When Chen Ziyan heard Lu Yanhe say this, she nodded and said to Zhang Yuezhen, "You should understand what we mean now?"
Zhang Yuezhen twitched the corner of her mouth.
She suddenly pulled a cigarette case from her handbag, took out an elegant women's cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and a wisp of smoke drifted from her mouth.
She glanced at Lu Yanhe like a silent fox, then suddenly smiled softly.
He left without saying anything.
Lu Yanhe remained seated, expressionless.
Chen Ziyan: "You were so cool just now."
"Not cool enough," Lu Yanhe said softly. "It should be cooler; she caught me completely off guard."
“It’s okay, Yan He. Don’t look at her like that. She must be feeling terrible inside.” Chen Ziyan said decisively, her tone leaving no room for doubt.
Not only that, Chen Ziyan also nodded solemnly to Lu Yanhe.
Seeing her like this, Lu Yanhe couldn't help but lower his head and laugh.
“We’re still at the dinner table, Sister Ziyan.”
“I’ve already finished eating,” Chen Ziyan said. “Besides, I bet you felt like throwing up just looking at her, so one more word won’t make a difference.”
Lu Yanhe: "What do you think she wanted to say when she came to see us?"
"Does it matter?" Chen Ziyan asked.
Lu Yanhe thought for a moment, then shook his head. "It's not important."
Chen Ziyan: "As long as you know the answers to the two questions, it doesn't matter what she wants to say."
Which two questions?
"Do you mind if your true relationship with Chen Pinhe is exposed?"
"mind."
"But are you willing to compromise and reach an agreement with him on this point in order to keep this relationship from being exposed?"
"I don't want to."
“That’s settled then.” Chen Ziyan nodded. “Don’t worry, we won’t bring up the first question, and they certainly won’t either. If it’s exposed, it won’t be us who get ruined. As for the second question, since you’re unwilling, there’s no basis for talking to them. We’ll just go ahead and do it.”
Lu Yanhe: "Hmm."
-
April is the best time of year in Yuming.
Spring is here, flowers are in bloom, and sunshine is more plentiful than rain.
Lu Yanhe was very fortunate to have a day off at this time, so he didn't have to film.
He arrived at the headquarters of "Jump Up" and spent his short vacation quietly in this sparsely populated new development zone, without going anywhere else.
Li Zhibai is already undergoing pre-production training for "Buried Alive," and Yan Liang has also started filming.
During the day, Chen Siqi goes to work, while Lu Yanhe sometimes goes to sit in the company courtyard to bask in the sun. However, most of the time he stays in the house here, writing, revising, and reading scripts.
Lu Yanhe has video conferences with people almost every day, usually producers or directors. Many people, both domestic and international, have projects they want to work with, especially well-known directors who have directed famous works. They will go to great lengths to contact him, bypassing agents and other obstacles, to communicate face-to-face.
Lu Yanhe is now reading a lot of scripts.
As a result, after he turned down several scripts for various reasons, he would personally invest between $200,000 and $500,000 in them when he learned they were short of production funds.
For a commercial film, this is certainly not much. But for an independent film, it is not little.
Lu Yanhe also got to know many producers and directors through this connection.
In the middle of the trip, Liu Bige came by and talked to him about the filming of the movie "Dingfeng No. 1".
Liu Bige has been preparing for this spy film for almost two or three years, and it is finally going to start filming this year, right after Lu Yanhe finished filming the second part of "Mist".
With the mediation of Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan, Longyan Film Industry, which originally positioned "Dingfeng No. 1" as a commercial spy film, decided to give Liu Bige the greatest autonomy.
After all, Liu Bige has also proven his influence at top international film festivals with "Late Spring" and "Even Faking Death Is Not an Option". The fact that both of his films were shortlisted for the main competition is enough to demonstrate his directing ability and the connections he has made, which allows him to continue to work at international film festivals.
"Dingfeng No. 1" can definitely continue on the path of "export".
Less than a year after its release, "Even Faking Death Won't Work" has already earned over 200 million RMB in overseas distribution rights revenue, even exceeding its box office revenue in China.
Chen Ziyan has completely fulfilled what she said to Mrs. Huang.
Liu Bige has the potential to earn money from global film distributors. However, if he becomes a purely commercial film director, that won't work. The profit logic of commercial films and art films is different.
Under Liu Bige's final adjustments, Lu Yanhe discovered that the entire story of "Dingfeng No. 1" was actually more in line with the style of "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy".
Melancholy, serious, and oppressive, like a mouthful of water slowly heated by licking a fire.
However, the story itself is still exciting; the script is about "finding a spy."
Lu Yanhe plays the person who wants to catch the spy, while the other male lead, Wen Shengming, plays the spy.
In this movie, the two characters have many scenes together.
This is also the second time Lu Yanhe has starred in a film with a superb actor as a male lead after "The Road to Glory," and it's another one where they are acting together.
Lu Yanhe was quite excited and looking forward to it.
As a result, Liu Bige told Lu Yanhe, "Wen Shengming made a request."
"Huh? What are the requirements?" Lu Yanhe was taken aback.
Liu Bige was a little embarrassed, but still said, "He hopes that no matter whether you have a role or not, you can have breakfast with him every morning at seven o'clock."
Lu Yanhe was taken aback.
"ah?"
What kind of bizarre request is this?
Liu Bige: "I was also very confused, but when I asked him, he didn't explain."
-
Wen Shengming holds a transcendent position in the domestic film and television industry.
He hasn't won many international awards. He's won a few domestic film and television awards, but that's definitely not the most, and he probably hasn't won as many as Chen Pinhe.
However, this situation did not affect his status.
Even though Chen Pinhe and Shang Yongzhou are both recognized as top actors in the entertainment industry, if you were to rank them, Wen Shengming would definitely be ranked ahead of them. This is because he has been a top actor since the previous generation, and his status remains stable to this day.
His influence truly transcends age groups within the industry.
Even Luo Yuzhong was a junior who had to take the initiative to greet him.
There's no way around it, Wen Shengming became famous too early, and won the Best Actor award too early. He's not even in the same generation as the current active middle-aged actors in the entertainment industry.
Luo Yuzhong and his group, the current pillars of society, are like Lu Yanhe facing Luo Yuzhong and Chen Lingling. No matter how powerful they are now, they will still treat them with respect as juniors because they have received their support and favors.
Lu Yanhe hesitated for a moment and said, "Is this all Teacher Wen Shengming requires? No other requirements?"
Liu Bige shook his head.
"No."
Lu Yanhe paused for a moment.
Seeing this, Liu Bige also scratched his head in frustration.
He knew, of course, that this was unreasonable. Lu Yanhe wasn't some greenhorn who could be so easily manipulated by a senior figure.
To be honest, if Wen Shengming hadn't made the request, Liu Bige wouldn't have told Lu Yanhe about it at all; he would have just refused outright.
Lu Yanhe said, "If that's all you're asking for, then no problem, I can do it."
It's just getting up early every day to have breakfast with Wen Shengming.
Liu Bige breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yan He, thank you."
But he was genuinely apologetic. Because of Wen Shengming's inexplicable request, Lu Yanhe had absolutely no obligation to agree.
"It's nothing," Lu Yanhe said. "It's not a big deal. Besides, although I've never dealt with Teacher Wen before, I think he must have his reasons for making this request. Even if he doesn't, I'm just getting up early, it's nothing."
Turning back, Lu Yanhe told Chen Ziyan about Wen Shengming's request.
Chen Ziyan: "I didn't warn you beforehand, but he has this habit when filming. Many times when he's acting, he'll find a support point with his co-stars off-screen."
"Lever point?"
“Yes,” Chen Ziyan said. “He’s the kind of actor who, even off-screen, will still communicate with you through the character’s state.”
The image of the legendary actor Daniel Day-Lewis immediately came to Lu Yanhe's mind.
He is also an actor who lives his life in the same state as his characters even after he's off-screen.
Until the film was completed.
He kept himself in the zone at all times, never letting himself slip out.
Lu Yanhe thought for a moment and said, "But what does this have to do with him wanting to have breakfast with me?"
Chen Ziyan said, "I don't know, but just follow his lead. Actors who have worked with him are often inspired to give their best performances."
Lu Yanhe's eyes lit up instantly when he heard Chen Ziyan say that.
To Lu Yanhe's surprise, Wang Zhong arrived just two days later.
Wang Zhong brought a script.
He said it was a script he wrote in Situ. That night, Lu Yanhe and Chen Bige got drunk in his room and their drunken antics gave him excitement and inspiration, so he wrote a script called "Seeking Pleasure".
Lu Yanhe had known about the existence of this script for a long time, but he had never seen it because Wang Zhong had not finished writing it and refused to show it to him.
Wang Zhong handed him the script and said, "I want to cast you and Chen Bige in it, just the two of you."
Lu Yanhe took the script with some confusion, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Director, what roles do Bi Ge and I play?"
"Don't worry, there are no intimate scenes," Wang Zhong said. "It's a Platonic, spiritual love."
Lu Yanhe was extremely surprised.
"Chen Bige is an actress who has just ended a painful marriage. She was popular in the past, but now she's past her prime. You are a playwright who has just entered the entertainment industry. You wrote a script, which was picked up by a theater troupe to be adapted into a stage play. She is the leading lady in your mind."
Wang Zhong briefly recounted the story.
"During rehearsals, you and she discuss the script and the relationships between the characters, gradually delving into each other's hearts. However, you have a girlfriend, and you realize that your feelings for her are gradually changing from simple infatuation, while she is also releasing intense emotions towards you."
"In the middle, you and she almost had sex several times, but each time it was interrupted by unforeseen circumstances. However, each time it was abruptly stopped, the fire in your hearts burned even more fiercely. You took advantage of every opportune moment to have fun in front of everyone, under the guise of a working relationship, until the troupe suddenly stopped rehearsing the play."
Lu Yanhe was taken aback.
"Then, the fire between you two was suddenly doused with cold water," Wang Zhong said. "She woke up from her dream of regaining popularity and lashed out at the troupe and you. You suspected that all her past kindness towards you was actually just to get you to revise the script, change the lines, or even add more scenes for her. The two of you had a fierce argument."
Lu Yanhe frowned as he listened.
This story—
What exactly are they trying to say?
Wang Zhong: "Then, with the cessation of production of this stage play, the passion and fervor between the two of you also went out."
Lu Yanhe looked puzzled.
"Director, what exactly is this movie trying to say?"
"Talking about the vanity of love."
“I might need to read the script to understand it better. From your description just now, I didn’t quite grasp this point,” Lu Yanhe said.
Wang nodded.
Lu Yanhe immediately started reading the script.
Wang Zhong didn't leave either; he sat beside Lu Yanhe, waiting for him to finish reading the script.
-
Wang Chong's screenwriting has a very distinctive characteristic.
It contains many symbolic images and some particularly thought-provoking lines.
However, the most distinctive feature of his scripts is that at first glance, they are shrouded in mystery, leaving the reader confused and even bewildered.
The character Lu Yanhe in "Three Mountains" has no origin or destination. He speaks a lot of mystical and rambling words, and you need to combine them with other parts of the movie to understand the philosophical and fateful undertones.
The same applies to this script.
To be fair, the quality of the script is much better than what Wang Zhong himself dictated.
The movie isn't actually about that at all.
This is about two narcissistic personalities who see in each other the image of their ideal, successful life and their perfect lover. So, during the rehearsals for this stage play, they are drawn to each other and immediately click. The man actually despises his girlfriend who stayed by his side during his poverty, while the woman resents her ex-husband for taking away her best years and causing her to fade into obscurity.
These two aren't bad people, but the script is full of analyses of their humanity. Every line of dialogue, every development in the story, reveals how their seemingly passionate actions mask their deep-seated ambition, selfishness, and immense desires.
However, Lu Yanhe still didn't like it very much.
Because neither of these two characters has anything "lovable about them".
"Director, this script is really well written. I just heard you say it, and it gave me a huge headache. I'm so confused as to why you wrote such a melodramatic and clichéd story." Lu Yanhe said, "In the future, when you show the script to the actors, maybe you shouldn't just give them a brief summary first."
Wang Zhong: "..."
Wang Zhong: "Was my explanation really that bad?"
"I'm even thinking about how to find an excuse to refuse this role," Lu Yanhe said frankly.
Wang Zhong's expression was quite interesting, clearly indicating that he had never been praised like this by any other actor before.
“But director, I can tell that the script is very well written, especially the descriptions of these two characters, which are very insightful. The criticism of these two people in the script is very incisive. But precisely because of this, I am a little unable to find the foothold to play this character,” Lu Yanhe said. “It’s not because of his inherent selfishness, arrogance and cold-heartedness, but because of my ability as an actor.”
Wang Zhong said, "How could there be a problem with your acting skills?"
“No, I’m serious,” Lu Yanhe said. “Because my emotional and behavioral logic can’t truly empathize with this kind of person. The whole process of reading the script is that I read it as a literary work, not as an actor empathizing with the character. I’m not in this state when I read other scripts.”
Wang Zhong fell into deep thought.
Lu Yanhe frankly stated: "It's not that I don't want to act, but I lack the confidence to play a role well if I don't have the urge to perform. So far, for every character I've played, I've been able to empathize with them when reading the script or acting. Even in 'Three Mountains,' I felt like another soul entered my body, and I willingly let that soul temporarily control my body. But with this one, I don't have that feeling."
Wang Zhong remained silent.
Lu Yanhe: "Has Sister Bige read this script?"
“She hasn’t done it yet, and I wanted to ask you for your opinion first,” Wang Zhong said. “I just finished writing this script recently, and I’d like to hear your thoughts on it.”
“The script is excellent,” Lu Yanhe said. “To be honest, if this script were given to two truly skilled actors who could handle these two roles, I believe it could become a classic. It’s been a long time since Chinese-language films have featured such a character who is neither good nor evil as the protagonist. After reading the script, I really hoped that I could have the desire to perform this role. I know it’s a good role, and rationally, I really want to act in this movie.”
Wang Zhong: "Aren't you going to consider giving it a try?"
Lu Yanhe asked, "I actually wanted to think about it, but since I'm facing you, I still want to tell you my true thoughts as soon as possible."
“I basically wrote this script based on you and Chen Bige,” Wang Zhong said. “I never expected that the way you two were jumping around after drinking too much would inspire me to write this story when I was feeling really down.”
“Because there is no love between me and Sister Bige, but in your experience, what Sister Bige and I did that night was something that only a couple or lovers would do. Plus, you were really annoyed with us that night,” Lu Yanhe said with a smile. “So, this story came about.”
“Perhaps you are right,” Wang Zhong said. “I really rarely write scripts like this.”
Lu Yanhe understood what he meant.
Wang Zhong's previous scripts, to say the least, all had a somewhat eerie and ghostly atmosphere, a feeling that a fog of mist shrouded certain places.
However, this play is actually very much like 19th-century European literature. It is satirical, critical, and full of analysis of hypocritical human nature.
Lu Yanhe said, "Director, if you want to seek better suggestions for this script, I think you can ask the professors of the School of Literature to take a look. Although it is very modernist, its core is actually very academic. Its core is about the analysis and critique of characters."
-
Some movies allow actors to achieve great results with minimal effort, such as "Road to Glory." With the script readily available, actors can generally deliver a good performance as long as they fully understand the script and the characters.
Some movies, no matter how good they are, are thankless tasks for the actors.
What Lu Yanhe didn't tell Wang Zhong was that he certainly felt he was capable of playing the role well; at least he didn't think he couldn't portray the arrogance and narcissism depicted in the script.
However, the problem is that he doesn't think he can play the role well enough.
In his understanding, if something is only mediocre and doesn't reach a certain level, it would actually ruin the script's purpose.
This is a film that is rich enough in terms of script, but still relies heavily on the actors' performances.
As Wang Zhong was leaving, he asked, "If you don't want to reconsider, I'll go ask someone else. Actually, Chen Pinhe's wife contacted me a while ago, wanting to collaborate."
Lu Yanhe's mind went blank.
"Director, wait a minute!" He immediately grabbed Wang Zhong.
Wang Zhong looked at him with some confusion.
Lu Yanhe's mind went blank for a moment, not just because he heard the name Chen Pinhe, but because in that instant, it was as if he had been enlightened and suddenly found the key to enter this role.
"I want to try it."
