Hearing the noise, Li Tian turned around and saw Ye Lan, asking, "When did you arrive?"
"I've been watching you deep in thought for a while now, so I haven't dared to disturb you!"
Seeing the fire in Ye Lan's eyes, Li Tian immediately changed the subject, saying, "I'll be joining a film crew in a couple of days, so I might have to leave for a while!"
"You're already the Vice Minister of Culture, why are you still thinking about acting?"
Ye Lan was somewhat puzzled. Li Tian was already the Vice Minister of Culture. Shouldn't he be making a strong start as a new official?
Why are you still thinking about filming all the time?
Have you ever seen a Minister of Culture go to film a movie?
Li Tian wasn't interested in the so-called Minister of Culture, not because he looked down on the position.
It's not that he wanted to become the Canglan Emperor, it's just that he simply didn't want to enter politics.
For him, singing and acting are much better than being the Minister of Culture, aren't they?
However, this couldn't be said to Ye Lan directly; instead, it was phrased differently.
"What don't you understand? It's precisely because there's no Deputy Minister of Culture making movies that I personally go and make movies. Look at the current Minister of Culture, how many people actually know him?"
Upon hearing Li Tian's words, Ye Lan immediately began to imagine the whole story.
indeed,
It's because I'm short-sighted and have long hair!
Li Tian is trying to cultivate a populist image in preparation for his future ascension to the throne.
With this in mind, Ye Lan understood many of the issues.
"So, what role have you decided to play? Is it still Murong Bo, the one we talked about the other day?"
Li Tian shook his head. Wang Yong had told him before that the role of Murong Bo had been decided.
Seeing Li Tian shake his head, Ye Lan felt relieved.
If Li Tianlai becomes the Canglan Emperor, then playing the role of Murong Bo would indeed be inappropriate.
It would make people think that Li Tian is dishonest, and it would leave a bad impression on the audience.
"Kumārajīva!"
At this moment, Li Tian revealed the role he would be playing.
Wang Yong struggled with this role for a long time, unable to find a suitable candidate.
Upon hearing this, Li Tian expressed his willingness to play the role of Kumārajīva, thus finalizing almost all the roles.
"Kumārajīva?"
Ye Lan was initially puzzled, not understanding why Li Tian wanted to play the role of Kumārajīva.
“Yes, Kumārajīva!” Li Tian nodded and continued, “This role is very difficult to play. I need to do some research. By the way, help me find some information on Tantric Buddhism!”
"Okay! I'll have someone take care of it!" Ye Lan agreed.
"This role is also a challenge for me; I need to think about it carefully!"
Li Tian had never imagined he would play Kumārajīva; this role was indeed a challenge for him.
"Alright, I won't bother you anymore. You can continue your research! I'll have someone prepare the materials for you!"
"Okay! Be careful on your way back!"
As soon as Ye Lan left Li Tian's villa and got into his car, he called his men and asked them to prepare some materials on Tibetan Tantric Buddhism.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Lan suddenly realized what had happened and lamented that her reaction was really too slow.
They didn't even think of such an obvious problem.
Tibetan area?
Esoteric Buddhism?
I can't believe I'm only realizing this now, given how obvious the label is.
Li Tian, oh Li Tian!
Seriously, you're starting to think about national unity and religious issues at this point?
Amazing! Amazing!
Sitting in the car, Ye Lan looked at the scenery outside the window and marveled at Li Tian's thought process.
As expected of an old silver coin that has been dormant for eighteen years!
