Veteran Hong Kong stars reorganize the Chinese entertainment industry.

Under Lin Luoying's supervision, Liu Zhongze completed the discharge procedures. Apart from three female fans, no one else came to visit him during this time.

Lin Luoying glanced at Liu Zhongze cautiously and asked, "In the past, you would post several short videos of whatever you did. Why are you so quiet now that you've committed suicide? It's not like you at all."

Liu Zhongze gave an awkward smile and didn't explain anything, after all, he wasn't the person Lin Luoying knew.

When they returned to their room, which also served as the filming location for their short videos, Lin Luoying's video received a response.

A man claiming to be from Hengdian Media wants Liu Zhongze to go to Dongyue's film and television base city to become the third male lead in his new drama, and the male lead's underling.

The above only mentioned this matter, but did not mention buying train tickets or booking hotels for Liu Zhongze, giving the impression that "I've taken a liking to you, but you can come or not if you don't care."

Liu Zhongze immediately started packing his things. Actually, he didn't have much stuff; he just found a bag, carried two pieces of clothing, and planned to head to the Dongyue film and television base.

"Are you crazy?"

Lin Luoying looked at Liu Zhongze with a puzzled expression. She couldn't understand why Liu Zhongze was so excited. In the past, Liu Zhongze would never have paid any attention to such an invitation.

She asked, "Did you really go crazy after your suicide attempt and want to act honestly? But the other party doesn't seem sincere at all; it's just a short drama, there's no point in even considering it!"

Liu Zhongze wanted to escape his nominal girlfriend on one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to understand the current film and television industry, since more than 40 years had passed since then and many things should have changed.

Without giving Lin Luoying any room to back out, Liu Zhongze went directly to the station and bought a bus ticket, preparing to take a bus to Dongyue.

This scene was captured by someone with ulterior motives. Despite his appearance, Liu Zhongze enjoys a certain degree of fame online.

According to information from Shendian Media, Liu Zhongze has arrived at Dongyue's film and television base.

Three films were being shot here at the same time. It could be said that every available room was being used for filming. The acting skills of each lead actor were not very good, and they couldn't handle any slightly complex characters.

"Get out of the way!" A stage manager-looking man pushed Liu Zhongze aside.

The two should have passed each other by, but the script supervisor stopped, carefully examined Liu Zhongze, pointed to a lounge, and said, "Go there for the interview."

After speaking, the script supervisor left immediately, giving Liu Zhongze no further chance to react.

Following the man's instructions, Liu Zhongze arrived at a lounge with several screens inside, clearly a treasure trove reserved for directors.

There were three groups of people inside. The first group consisted mainly of effeminate men, with the others being his assistants. The second group was a fully made-up man and a woman wearing a name tag. The third group was a small team that was very polite to everyone.

The man who looked like a script supervisor, after finishing his work, sat down in front of the monitor and started paying attention to the expressions of each actor. He said, "You are going to audition for my new play: The President of the Ugly Country Falls in Love with Me, a Menopausal Dementia Patient. The character you are going to play is the third male lead in my play. He is not the mean-spirited second male lead, but the third male lead who has many connections with the President of the Ugly Country."

The man, who appears to be a script supervisor but is actually a director, throws a script in front of everyone.

No one dared to say anything more, because all three groups of people knew the importance of the person in front of them as the director of the short film!

Not long after the effeminate man received the script, he began to act on his own. His movements and expressions were very monotonous; he could only slap the table and twitch his lips. The director only glanced at him and then stopped watching.

The man with the staff carefully read through the script and tried to immerse himself in it. Unfortunately, the script was too abstract, and it took him a long time to find the right state of mind. In the end, he could only sigh and silently walk out of the lounge.

The man in the small team was the most competitive of the three groups. Just by standing there, he exuded youthful naiveté and innocence.

The director nodded, seemingly having already formed a rough score in his mind.

Liu Zhongze, who came alone, was not only the least numerous, but also the least favored by everyone, because from beginning to end, no one paid any attention to him.

Then, after he put down the script, when he opened his eyes again, a hypocritical elite image belonging to the Ugly Country appeared in everyone's eyes, immediately attracting the director's attention to him.

Liu Zhongze appeared polite and well-mannered on the outside, but when the imagined president of the Ugly Country appeared, he would inadvertently become submissive, even more so than a woman...?

Snapped!

The director slammed the script on the ground, pointed at Liu Zhongze, and said, "You're the one! Even if all the actors from my three films combined, they might not be able to outact as well as you!"

Liu Zhongze was still immersed in the character. He looked at the director incredulously, as if the director were the president of the Ugly Kingdom, which made him feel uneasy.

"Why aren't you a woman? Your expression and acting are so good, I'd even consider you the lead actress!"

The director walked up to Liu Zhongze, patted him hard on the shoulder, and said, "I wrote this script myself. Only you have performed the result I wanted, and only you understand the role's positioning."

The director glanced at the others, then pointed to the script in Liu Zhongze's hand and said, "The Ugly country is different from China. Their political landscape is all about disgusting things like this. And this film isn't going to be shown on our country's short video platforms; it's only for the lower classes in the Ugly country. So we need someone who fully understands the character to represent their political correctness."

The two male actors still in the dressing room shuddered, quietly took a half step back, and then spoke one after the other.

"Director, look, we're all here. If we don't have this role, then find us another one. We're open to that."

"Yes, director, I'm a great actor. You're in high demand for short dramas right now. Your productions are guaranteed to be good. If all else fails, just start another production; I can act in it right now!"

The director waved his hand and said, "Go find the finance department and collect the expenses for what you've brought. We'll have the chance to work together again next time. There are no plans for a new film at the moment."

After the director chased away the two groups of people, he stared at Liu Zhongze as if he were looking at a treasure, making Liu Zhongze think that he was about to be sexually harassed.

"Have you heard about my movie before?" The director circled around Liu Zhongze. He knew Liu Zhongze; after all, in the entertainment industry, firsthand information is always the most useful.

Little did he know that this bewildered newcomer would later become someone he could never hope to reach!
