Veteran Hong Kong stars reorganize the Chinese entertainment industry.

The director's irritable voice came through Xiaoyu's earpiece: "What's going on? Why haven't we started filming yet?"

Xiaoyu turned on the call and said, "Teacher Liu is explaining the scenes to the lead actors, explaining every step clearly to them, so the filming schedule is a bit delayed."

The director pressed the switch to connect the earpiece to the little fish, but no sound came out. He then shifted his attention to the lead actors of the other two films.

After a while, he shook his head, as if what he saw was not art, but two pieces of garbage pieced together.

When the camera was pointed at Liu Zhongze, the director could clearly see Liu Zhongze's serious expression. He could even change his entire demeanor when giving each lead actor a speech, making it seem like he was a completely different person.

When he was giving instructions to the male lead Jack, his expression looked somewhat foolish, but his eyes actually held the kind of weighing of pros and cons that only a businessman would have.

When directing the female lead, Mary, he only showed confusion and lack of interest in his eyes, and only occasionally, unintentionally, did he reveal a hint of a girlish expression.

When Liu Zhongze plays the second male lead, Ke Lingdun, his eyes reveal both lust and weakness, but deeper details also show that he is a thoroughly wicked old man.

The three actors nodded in unison. It was not easy for them to act in China, and most of the time they could only play minor roles next to Chinese actors. It was not easy for them to play the lead role in this short drama, so they naturally cherished the opportunity for Liu Zhongze to give them acting instructions.

Xiaoyu turned on her headset and said, "Director, we've finished rehearsing our scenes. Let's get ready to start filming."

The director seemed to have been waiting for news from here, and immediately replied, "Then let's start filming. I want to see how different this film is after Nakazawa's direction."

In the subsequent filming, the three lead actors showed significantly more expressive faces, especially their eyes, which became more lively and less awkward and forced, reminiscent of the original characters.

The director watched quietly for more than ten minutes before Jack finally stumbled for the first time due to his disjointed delivery of lines.

"Nakazawa, your acting instructions to them were fantastic! You brought my entire drama to life instantly. If it weren't for the limited budget of a short drama, I would have reshot the first few scenes!"

Liu Zhongze also had a walkie-talkie to communicate with the director. The director spoke directly to him at this moment. Instead of taking credit, he praised the others, saying, "Actually, they are quite talented. It's just that they have played supporting roles for a long time, so they are a bit timid when playing the lead role."

"Zhongze... no, Teacher Liu, you really are my teacher. I made the right choice to invite you to this drama. Take a short rest. If there's anything you didn't do well, you can ask them to fix it. If not, I'll have Xiaoyu call you when it's time to film your scenes."

Because several main speakers were given too much screen time at once, Liu Zhongze, who played the third male lead and had a small role, was left with nothing to do. He asked, "Director, may I go to another room?"

"Welcome!"

As soon as Liu Zhongze stepped out of the room, he saw the makeup artist who had competed with him for the audition earlier. The man was on the phone with his assistant, looking very busy.

The other person glanced at Liu Zhongze, then turned away disdainfully, ignoring him.

Liu Zhongze saw too much of this disdain in the 80s. Back then, he rarely even had roles as a passerby. He could only follow along, carrying cameras and props. When there was a real shortage of people, he would be called to be a corpse or a soldier in the background, without even a single shot.

When Liu Zhongze entered the adjacent room, he witnessed an extremely melodramatic scene: the lead actor, who was the Dragon King's son-in-law, was being trampled on the ground by an unknown nobody. His expression was calm, or rather, it was a deathly expressionless face.

But it was precisely this expressionless face that, when he gave a crooked smile, prompted several extras to immediately rush forward and shout in unison, "Welcome back to the Dragon King!"

However, when he stood up, this crooked smile seemed artificial, and the lead actor lacked a bit of arrogance, failing to portray the feeling of a dragon king.

Liu Zhongze thought he had misunderstood the role, so he walked to a table and saw a script for a short drama called "The Return of the Dragon King: Slapping Everything in the Face".

After carefully reviewing the footage, Liu Zhongze realized that his opinion was correct: the lead actor's acting skills were limited, and he was unable to fully portray the Dragon King's arrogance and disdain for others.

Just then, the lead actor forgot his lines, and Liu Zhongze couldn't help but go over to remind him, using his own face as an example so that the lead actor could see the three parts sarcasm and seven parts disdain on his face.

The lead actor was startled and said, "Are you crazy? Why are you staring at me like that? Assistant director, what's going on?"

A very familiar-looking woman walked out from the corner. This was the staff member who had been talking to another auditioning actor who had left earlier, and she was also the assistant director in charge of the main filming of this short drama.

The assistant director recognized Liu Zhongze at a glance, knowing he had some skills, so he pulled Liu Zhongze aside and said to the lead actor with a smile, "Teacher, please calm down. This is a newcomer from next door who just arrived today. Please forgive him."

The lead actor sneered, now displaying some of the Dragon King's demeanor, and said, "What did he mean just now? Was he trying to teach me how to act?"

A problem arose during the filming of the short drama, and the director noticed it in the dressing room. He used the room's walkie-talkie to ask, "Assistant director, what happened?"

"Director, the third male lead from the Ugly Country President drama is here. He immediately gave Amin a hard time, and Amin, as the lead actor, is not happy about it and is making a big fuss about it."

The director's calm voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Give the walkie-talkie to Amin, let me talk to him."

The assistant director thought the director was about to back down, but when he handed the walkie-talkie to A-Ming, the director's angry voice roared out: "A-Ming, don't think you're something special just because you acted in one hit short drama. You were made by me. Now act according to what Teacher Liu taught you, or I won't consider you for any future roles!"

Amin's expression immediately became unpredictable, which surprised the assistant director who was about to smooth things over. She hadn't expected the director to have this attitude. Even if the director was a master in the short drama field, he didn't have many actors he could use. Now, he was going to refute the lead actor of the previous hit drama for the sake of a newcomer. This really caught the assistant director off guard.

Before the assistant director could speak, Ah Ming said with a forced smile, "Fine, you're the director, I'll listen to you."

Everyone present could clearly sense Amin's displeasure, but no one dared to touch his brow.

Liu Zhongze wanted to apologize to A Ming, but A Ming glared at him fiercely and said, "If you like to show off, then why pretend to be a good person? Just say whatever you want. Anyway, the director is protecting you."
