Chapter 227 Special Guest Actor: To Go or Not?



The call was answered.

Li Huai'an's voice then came from the phone.

"Someone came to me earlier this afternoon with a prescription to get medicine. Did you write that prescription? It looks like a prescription for treating tumors?"

"Ah, yes, it was my prescription."

Su Zhengnan smiled slightly and nodded, replying, "It seems you're quite familiar with my handwriting, Senior Brother. You even recognized it..."

"Alright, stop arguing with me about this. I've read your prescription, and it's indeed very insightful. The dialectical approach it presented was truly enlightening."

Li Huai'an interrupted Su Zhengnan's flattery.

Su Zhengnan smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Senior Brother. Actually, it's not as good as you say!"

"Alright, I just called to confirm. Since it was you who prescribed it, then there's no problem."

Li Huai'an interrupted him again, waving his hand and saying, "Alright, let's stop here. I have to get back to work!"

After saying that, Li Huai'an hung up the phone.

Beep beep beep.....

I heard the busy tone coming from my phone.

Su Zhengnan smiled, put away his phone, and then turned and went back to his traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

A day goes by quickly.

Before long, night fell outside, and the school's streetlights came on.

Fortunately, the school clinic was very quiet tonight, and no students came in for consultations.

After finishing his work, Su Zhengnan ate dinner and sat in the clinic for a few hours before going upstairs to rest.

.............

The next day.

Saturday!

Zhou Zixuan and Sun Huaiwei were both away; they had gone home separately after get off work last night.

After getting up early for his morning exercise, Su Zhengnan took a taxi to the headquarters of the Chinese Medicine Association and then called his senior brother, Chu Xingyun.

After receiving the call, Chu Xingyun immediately had his assistant come out to pick him up.

As the vice president of the National Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the president of the National Pharmaceutical Association, having an assistant is definitely a must.

Otherwise, wouldn't he, as the president of the association, be overworked to death?

Afterwards, Su Zhengnan followed his senior brother's assistant to his office, where he saw his senior brother engrossed in processing documents as soon as he entered.

"Senior brother!" Su Zhengnan called out.

Chu Xingyun looked up at him, a smile appearing on her face, and said, "Zheng Nan is here, please have a seat!"

"Thank you, senior brother. But you don't need to sit down. I don't want to disturb your work."

Su Zhengnan smiled and stepped forward, taking out the prescription for inhibiting tumors and handing it to Chu Xingyun, saying, "This is the prescription I told you about the day before yesterday, senior brother. Please take a look!"

"Okay!"

Chu Xingyun put down the document in his hand, nodded, and took the prescription to read it carefully.

"This...this recipe...is wonderful!"

a long time.

Chu Xingyun then came to his senses and exclaimed in admiration, praising the ingenuity of the prescription.

Then, Chu Xingyun asked Su Zhengnan, "This prescription is indeed very effective. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis, it can indeed inhibit tumor growth. But are you sure that the medicinal properties of this prescription are universally applicable?"

The term "universality" means that it applies to the vast majority of common and similar illnesses.

It is important to know that traditional Chinese medicine has always emphasized specific prescriptions and treatments tailored to individual patients.

Therefore, the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine is generally weak, mainly because it has lost the fundamental principle of individualized treatment, resulting in poor efficacy.

However, on the other hand, that's another story.

Su Zhengnan's recipe was a system reward, so it's definitely a top-quality product.

She's incomparable to those flashy, cheap women out there.

Su Zhengnan nodded confidently and said, "I'm sure this formula has a high degree of applicability and should be effective for most cancer patients. However, further clinical trials are needed to determine the specifics, and I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother, with that."

"Yes, traditional Chinese medicine pharmaceuticals cannot rely solely on theory; they also require clinical data for verification."

Chu Xingyun looked at Su Zhengnan and smiled slightly, saying, "I will arrange some volunteers to conduct clinical trials to see how effective this formula is. We can only apply for a patent and pharmaceutical license after the clinical data is complete."

"I know, thank you for your support and trust, Senior Brother."

Su Zhengnan looked at Chu Xingyun with gratitude.

Chu Xingyun smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Alright, let's not be so polite between us fellow disciples. But you'll have to be listed as a junior brother during the clinical trials, otherwise we won't be able to get your patent application submitted."

"I know, senior. Just let me know what you need me for clinical work, and I will cooperate fully."

Su Zhengnan smiled and nodded in agreement.

After chatting for a while, Su Zhengnan took his leave.

Chu Xingyun couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "What, aren't you going to stay and have lunch with me?"

Su Zhengnan glanced at the pile of documents on his desk and said, "Forget it, I won't disturb your work, senior brother. I'll go back first."

Chu Xingyun didn't try to persuade him to stay any longer. He turned to his assistant and said, "Xiao Zhang, take my junior brother back."

"Yes, Chairman."

The assistant nodded and then saw Su Zhengnan off.

When Su Zhengnan returned to the Beijing Film Academy from the headquarters of the Chinese Medicine Association, it was almost noon.

After returning to the Beijing Film Academy, Su Zhengnan went directly to the school cafeteria for lunch.

There's nothing much to do this afternoon, so I can take a good rest.

After lunch, Su Zhengnan returned to his dormitory to rest.

Clinical trials will definitely take some time to produce results, so there's no need to consider collaborating with Novartis Pharmaceuticals during this period.

After all, Su Zhengnan would not consider cooperating with any pharmaceutical company before obtaining a patent.

Ring ring!

Just as Su Zhengnan was thinking about these things.

His phone suddenly rang; it was Liang Guanhua calling.

Why did he call me at this hour?

Su Zhengnan felt a little curious, but he still pressed the answer button and greeted him with a smile:

"Hello, Teacher Liang. Have you had lunch yet?"

"I've already eaten. Have you eaten, Dr. Su?"

Liang Guanhua smiled and asked in return on the other end of the phone.

Su Zhengnan smiled and said, "I've already eaten. Teacher Liang, is there something you need for calling me at this hour? You're not going to invite me to dinner again, are you?"

Liang Guanhua laughed and said, "Hahaha... I was thinking of inviting you to dinner, but unfortunately I don't have time. I'm busy filming!"

"Dr. Liang, why did you call me...?"

"Well, it's nothing really. I just have a medical-related TV series about to start filming. I was wondering if you'd be interested in having a cameo role, Dr. Su?"

"Medical-related TV dramas?"

Su Zhengnan was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Why did Teacher Liang think of asking me to make a cameo appearance? I'm not an actor, I'm just a doctor!"

"I know you're a doctor, Dr. Su, but this isn't a medical drama, right? I think you're definitely good at it, so I was thinking of asking if you'd like to give it a try."

Liang Guanhua laughed and said on the other end of the phone, "I saw you doing quite well when you were an extra in our film crew last time. Although you're not a professional actor, Dr. Su, you should be able to handle a special guest role."

The so-called special guest actors are actually top-tier extras. Their roles may not be many, but they often play important roles in the drama.

Upon hearing what Liang Guanhua said...

Su Zhengnan immediately realized that Liang Guanhua had misunderstood his past experience of playing a minor role in their film crew.

In a moment of panic, Su Zhengnan hurriedly explained, "Teacher Liang, you may have misunderstood. Last time I went to play a minor role just out of curiosity, not because I had any particular thoughts about acting."

"Just out of curiosity?"

Liang Guanhua was taken aback for a moment, then continued to persuade him:

"Actually, it's fine even if you're just curious. This drama is a medical drama. Dr. Su, if you're interested, you can make a cameo appearance. Anyway, the role isn't very big, and it will be filmed in a day or two."

"If you're not interested, Dr. Su, that's fine. I was just saying it casually. I'm quite familiar with the director of this drama."

"Hehe, okay, I'll think about it!"

Su Zhengnan smiled and nodded, not bothering to refuse the other party's kindness.

"I'll send you the script later. It only has a few lines, don't worry, it won't be difficult."

"Okay, okay, I'll take a look at the script first."

"That's all for now, I have to film here, so I'll have to talk to you later!"

With that, Liang Guanhua hung up the phone and went back to filming "Detective Dee".

Beep beep beep.....

I heard the busy tone coming from my phone.

Su Zhengnan's lips twitched slightly, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.

He didn't even know how Liang Guanhua came up with the idea for him. Wasn't he just an extra in the "Detective Dee" film crew last time?

Is it just because I saved their life?

Su Zhengnan felt it was somewhat incomprehensible, or perhaps Teacher Liang was just a very warm person?

But then again...

Regardless, the other party meant well in introducing him to this special guest role.

If the script is truly suitable and doesn't take much time to prepare.

He wouldn't mind giving it a try.

That evening, Liang Guanhua sent over the script.

Su Zhengnan glanced at the script and found that he actually only had a few lines; he was just making a cameo appearance as a consulting doctor.

The drama, titled "Infinite Vitality," is considered one of the earliest medical dramas in China.

There are several well-known actors in the film, but I only recognize their faces and don't know their names at all.

After reading the script, Su Zhengnan thought that he didn't seem to have anything else to do, so he simply replied to Liang Guanhua's message saying that he could give it a try.

And that's how the matter was settled.
