Veteran Hong Kong stars reorganize the Chinese entertainment industry.

A group of people curiously looked at Liu Zhongze. Even He Qian, who knew about the short drama, thought Liu Zhongze looked like a gay man after watching the whole thing.

When she first saw Liu Zhongze's individual scenes, she didn't know the specific plot. She just felt that this young man had potential, rich expressions, and even with unattractive makeup, he could still convey what he wanted to express.

He Qian then tried to contact him, but she didn't have much hope, since the initial funds were not much.

Wang Tao reached out to pat his shoulder, but then thought about it and withdrew his hand.

Li Yun had just raised his arm when he sighed and put it down.

Wang Xiaoming hissed for a long time, but did not make any other movements.

Just as Liu Yifan reached out, his wife Liu Ye stopped him and shook her head.

"No, what do you mean? It's just a difference in sexual orientation. Even if we're not from the Ugly Country and don't have that many genders, we shouldn't discriminate against people with different sexual orientations. Zhongze, from now on you're my best friend, He Qian's best friend. Let's see who dares to say anything against you then!"

He Qian showed her righteous side, but her statement still treated Liu Zhongze as gay.

Chen Fengqi couldn't help but chuckle. He didn't know if these people really thought Liu Zhongze was gay or if they were joking. He didn't mind the atmosphere; they didn't seem to be working, but rather playing around like they were having fun.

"Heh." Liu Zhongze ignored them and took out a piece of chocolate from the side and put it in his mouth.

Upon seeing Liu Zhongze's expression, He Qian immediately suppressed her smile.

The six of them came for two reasons: firstly, to see if Liu Zhongze was gay, and secondly, to completely change the acting that followed.

He Qian said, "Zhongze, Fengqi, to be honest, we were short of funds before. If you hadn't stayed with us last night, we wouldn't have been so frank with you."

He Qian told everyone about making and designing toys, and they all fell silent after hearing it.

Liu Zhongze and Chen Fengqi had no say in the matter; they could only listen to the six people make their decision.

Li Yun spoke first, saying, "I think Lao He is right. We are not college graduates who have just entered the workforce. We all know that opportunities are rare, and sometimes we can only listen to the opinions of capital. Since we can't avoid it, let's do our best."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifan snapped out of his daze, hugged Liu Ye, spun her around, and said, "From now on, my wife will be a designer!"

"Put me down," Liu Ye said coquettishly, a little embarrassed.

Wang Tao shifted his gaze and coughed, saying, "Old He, since Jiujiang Film and Television is asking us to make summoning devices, weapons, and various suits, I suggest we suspend filming for a few days and make the toys we need later. That way, we won't be left with designs that Jiujiang Film and Television doesn't want to disappoint us, and we won't be able to say anything then."

"Yes, that's what I think too." He Qian glanced at the expressions of the other five people, and seeing that they all agreed, she said, "Then let's pause filming for three days. During these three days, the six of us won't do any special effects. We'll focus on perfecting the design drawings and make sure each character looks as cool as they should!"

The five nodded in unison, leaving the two people beside them somewhat bewildered. It was as if they had overheard some inside secret that had nothing to do with them, leaving them feeling awkward.

Wang Xiaoming looked at Liu Zhongze and the other person and said, "There will be an official notification tomorrow. The exact number of days the holiday will last depends on the speed of our design and the manufacturer's production. We will try our best to meet the deadline. It may not be three days. I will contact you later."

The group used Liu Zhongze's room as a temporary meeting room and discussed things until late at night before leaving one by one.

Finally, Chen Fengqi asked, "Old Liu, are you gay or not? Do you want me to take you to Chongqing to find some round-faced, bearded lolis?"

This time, Liu Zhongze's foot landed squarely on Chen Fengqi's buttocks, sending him flying.

He had just calmed down when his phone rang. He thought it was Lin Luoying crying again after being scolded, but when he answered, he realized something was wrong.

"Director Chen Yuyi?"

"Teacher Liu, I didn't expect you to still remember my voice. My assistant, Xiaoyu, was supposed to call you to tell you this good news, but I had something else to discuss with you, so I called you myself."

"What is it?"

Chen Yuyi didn't get straight to the point, but instead said, "Let me tell you about our situation first. The viewership in the U.S. is very high because our broadcasting rights were directly acquired by the largest streaming company, unlike in China where individuals have to buy them. The U.S. is very interested in our short dramas."

Liu Zhongze thought it was going to be a sequel. He might not have time to film it now, and he didn't really like sequel content. In Hong Kong films and television in the 80s, sequels often meant making money, and very few sequels were good or improved the script.

"I thought since it's selling so well overseas, I'll try to put it on sale in China. Xiaoyu posted a video of you with your personal footage before, and I found that the audience really liked it, so I tried to do the same. It turned out to be a hit again. I asked Xiaoyu to send you some more money as an extra bonus from this hit drama."

"No need, Director."

"Don't mention it. Our collaboration is long-term. You can let Xiaoyu handle all of the above. But I have a problem. A friend of mine is currently filming a horror movie in Siam. The actor playing the ghost in his film was in a car accident and can't film anymore. He's looking for a good short-form actor to fill in. The pay isn't much, but I can offer you a share of the film's profits. Are you interested?"

It turns out that Chen Yuyi only remembered Liu Zhongze when he encountered trouble. He owed his friend a favor and had never had the chance to repay it. Now that his short drama is a big hit, his friend wants to ask him for a cheap actor to fill in, and he specifically requested that the actor have real acting skills.

He immediately thought of Liu Zhongze. It was just a matter of giving him a few thousand yuan more, and Liu Zhongze would repay this long-overdue favor on his behalf. Why not do it?

"Is it in a hurry?"

If it were just a sequel, Liu Zhongze would consider it, but he's very interested in making a horror movie.

On the one hand, the filming period was short, and on the other hand, horror films and television series were very popular in the 80s. He also had the idea of ​​trying it out. He never expected that he would have this opportunity after being reborn.

In the 80s, Liu Zhongze was handsome and muscular, and could only play upright roles.

But the competition was so fierce back then that nobody wanted to give him the opportunity. Even when he auditioned for a villain role in a erotic film, some directors thought he was too upright and didn't look like a bad guy at all, so he was rejected outright.

It's no wonder that Liu Zhongze would have bad thoughts about a physically fit male actor who was rejected by erotic films in the 80s; it was simply an insult to him.
