Normally, domestic film and television practitioners, who possess five thousand years of cultural heritage, should be focused on refining their works and cultivating their own cultural core.

But instead, they flocked to idolize a Japanese director with ulterior motives.

On their faces, I saw no steadfastness or ambition, but rather vanity, restlessness, and a thirst for quick success. Relying on them to revitalize the domestic film industry? In your next life!

Think about it carefully, what kind of culture or background can a group of people who score less than 300 points on the college entrance exam have? It's not an exaggeration to say that they are semi-illiterate.

Instead of relying on them, we should rely on the next generation.

"Damn it, I think the entertainment industry is doomed!" Fatty Lin shook his head.

"It's normal for it to be useless!" I almost laughed when I saw it.

Just as the three of us were feeling frustrated, two familiar figures walked through the crowd and headed towards us.

"Fatty!"

Before I even got close, I heard a familiar voice—it was Wang Zixuan.

"Old Lin, Thirteen, Ni'er!"

Hu Ke followed along.

Both of them are locals from Shanghai. I'm not surprised they came to the film festival. What surprises me is that they came together.

"Old Hu!"

Fatty Lin nodded to Hu Ke first, then said to Wang Zixuan, "Zixuan, you've become famous since you returned to the mainland. Have you forgotten about your chubby brother? It's been so long since you contacted me!"

"Fatty, I may forget everyone else, but I'll never forget you!"

Wang Zixuan gave a coquettish laugh and affectionately slapped Fatty Lin.

Hu Ke's gaze swept between Fatty Lin and Wang Zixuan for a moment before she asked, "What's going on with you two?"

"Old Hu, Zixuan and I have known each other since Hong Kong Island. We're old acquaintances!" Fatty Lin emphasized the word "acquaintances."

Hu Ke, being a free spirit himself, instantly understood the deeper meaning behind Lin Pangzi's words and gave him a knowing look.

"Did you two just finish your work?" I asked casually.

"Yes, we just finished the interactive session for the short film presentation." Hu Ke nodded and said, "Oh, by the way, I'll introduce two people to you later!"

"Who is it?" I asked.

"Aren't you coming over?" Hu Ke gestured with her chin towards the distance.

I looked over and saw two male stars, one tall and one short, walking over.

"Come on, let me introduce you. This is Ma Han, and this is Zheng Fei. They're currently signed with Huayi!"

As the two approached, Hu Ke introduced them to us.

"Ma Han, Zheng Fei, these are the three extraordinary individuals I wanted to introduce to you!"

Hu Ke was all smiles, completely unaware that the two of them unconsciously narrowed their eyes when they saw the three of us.

"Old Hu, your two friends are practically begging you not to introduce them to us!"

Fatty Lin noticed their awkwardness and took the initiative to expose the secret.

"W-what do you mean?" Hu Ke was a little confused.

"The meaning is simple: I don't get along with the company's mainstay and boss. Their boss and mainstay have probably scolded us quite a bit, so these two were a little embarrassed after they found out that the expert you mentioned was us!" Fatty Lin explained with a smile.

After explaining, he looked at Ma Han and Zheng Fei, and asked with a half-smile, "Gentlemen, am I right?"

Ma Han has just returned from Hong Kong Island not long ago. He filmed a period drama and is now somewhat famous.

He truly became known to audiences nationwide after he married Zhang Xiaodao.

Zheng Fei is currently unknown. He became famous after participating in the fast-paced variety show on Zhejiang TV.

"Master Lin, that's not true. Little Wang and Director Qian didn't mention you!" Zheng Fei was the first to react, denying Fatty Lin's statement.

"Whether you mentioned it or not, you know the answer in your hearts!"

Fatty Lin smiled meaningfully and patted Zheng Fei's arm.

"Old Lin, do you have a conflict with Boss Wang and Director Qian?" Hu Ke finally realized what was going on.

"It's not exactly a conflict, but I hit Director Qian once, almost killed him. And Little Wang got a real beating from us too!"

"I'm so happy," Fatty Lin said with a chuckle.

Upon hearing this, Ma Han and Zheng Fei turned pale, and Hu Ke's expression also turned sour, as if she were sitting on pins and needles.

Without even thinking, I know what he's thinking right now. He's probably thinking, "I should have known better than to introduce him."

"Old Hu, it's alright. Even though we have disagreements with Mr. Wang and Director Qian, we still maintain appearances. The film festival opened the day before yesterday, and we were chatting with Mr. Wang, and Mr. Wang was there too. They're all respectable people; things won't get ugly!"

Fatty Lin, that sly fellow, patted Hu Ke's arm, then nodded to Ma Han and Zheng Fei, saying, "Don't you think so?"

"yes!"

What could Ma Han and Zheng Fei say? They could only nod.

Nodding, Zheng Fei rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Hu, I just remembered, we have an event to attend over there, Brother Han and I will head over first!"

"Go ahead!" Hu Ke waved his hand without thinking, eager for the two of them to leave quickly.

"Master Lin, Master Feng, Ms. Long, we'll head over first!" Zheng Fei said to the three of us.

"Go ahead, go ahead!" Fatty Lin waved his hand kindly.

Watching the two men flee, Fatty Lin crossed his arms, nudged Hu Ke with his foot, and said, "Old Hu, do you believe it or not, Little Wang and that bastard Qian Xiaogang must have cursed us a lot within Huayi, otherwise, these two wouldn't have reacted like this!"

"Old Lin, don't get me into this mess. If I'd known you had a conflict with Director Qian and the others, I would have refused to bring them here even if you killed me!" Hu Ke said with a wry smile.

"Serves you right, who told you to bring it!" Fatty Lin said with a chuckle.

Ever since we had our team building activity together, Hu Ke's relationship with us has improved a lot. He doesn't treat us like outsiders, and we don't treat him like an outsider either.

The reason is simple: we didn't experience the three "iron brothers" – fighting together and studying together – but we did experience the other one.

With this shared experience, how could their relationship not be good?

"Hey, I brought Ma Han here hoping you could help me out, but now look what happened, I've not only failed to help, but I've also gotten myself into trouble!" Hu Ke shook his head.

"Busy? What are you busy with?" Fatty Lin asked.

"Ma Han has conflicts with some people in Hong Kong, and there are always people trying to sabotage him. He wants to find someone to mediate and reconcile things. I know that the three of you have a lot of influence in Hong Kong, so I brought him here!" Hu Ke said.

"A conflict? With whom?" I asked.

"It's said to be related to his former agency. I don't know the specifics, but that company always secretly releases press releases to smear him!" Hu Ke said.

"Old Hu, how about this, if Ma Han really wants to resolve this, have him call me later. If the price is right, I'll help him settle things!" Fatty Lin said.

In the Hong Kong entertainment industry, the three of us are currently doing very well; there's really nothing we can't handle.
