Run, Best Actor!

Liu Taile himself is very popular. His mockumentary "Life After the Game" garnered over a million views in just one day after being uploaded to Youku.

The film was cited by numerous media outlets, sparking a huge discussion in society.

What's going on? Liu Taile wants to retire?!

[It's not surprising. After all, he suffered a serious leg injury before. Even if he recovers in the future, it's estimated that his performance will be difficult to reach the same level as before. It's better for him to retire at his peak and leave with a good reputation.]

It's such a pity. If Liu Taile retires, I wonder how long it will take for our country to produce another world champion.

[It shouldn't be too long, after all, with so many people in our country, surely we can find someone who runs fast? Putting everything else aside, Liu Tai Le's teammates should be able to steadily improve their performance.]

[The person upstairs is being too optimistic. Like someone said before, "With so many people in our country, how can we not find 11 good football players?" Well, so many years have passed, and it turns out we really can't! And if Liu Tai Le's teammates were any better, they would have made it long ago!]

Indeed, in competitive sports, talent truly determines everything. The physical structure of us Asians makes it difficult to compete with Black athletes in high-intensity events like the 100-meter dash. So, thinking about it carefully, Liu Taile is truly exceptionally gifted!

[We're incredibly lucky to have even one Liu Taile; as for the rest, we'll leave it to fate.]

[I didn't realize until I saw it! Liu Taile won so many championships in just four years! That's amazing!]

[Otherwise, would he be deliberately targeted? Last year at the IAAF Diamond League, he and Jamaica's Usain Bolt both won three events. If it weren't for his slightly worse individual performances, he would have had a chance to win the Diamond League title! It's truly a pity.]

[If he hadn't been fully focused on preparing for the Olympics this year, and hadn't even participated in the IAAF Diamond League, he probably could have won one or two more titles. It's such a pity.]

Does nobody care that Liu Taile wants to be an actor? Why is it that nowadays all retired athletes want to go into film and television? Is that a lucrative career choice?

[Because many well-known athletes have already made a name for themselves in the film and television industry after retiring, such as Tao Hong and Niu Li in the past, and Liu Xuan and Tian Liang more recently... Liu Taile wants to follow in their footsteps, which is perfectly fine. He's already financially independent, so crossing over into another field is just for fun.]

[My main concern is not seeing Liu Tai-le act in bad movies, which would damage his image in the public eye.]

What image does he have left? He's just a pathetic simp. No matter how fast he runs, he can't catch a girl. A total loser!

[Haha~~~ Absolutely! The thought of a world champion becoming a backup option and a simp, only to fail in the end, is truly satisfying! What good is being handsome and rich if you're not liked? It's all for nothing.]

[Both he and Liu Xiang are quite a disgrace to the Liu family. Their ancestors were practically succubi, yet these two world champions with the surname Liu have both failed miserably at wooing girls. From now on, they shouldn't bear the surname Liu!]

……

The comments section inevitably went off-topic; the online discussion about "Life After the Game" quickly turned into mockery of Liu Taile and Liu Xiang's previous failed attempts to woo women.

Liu Xiang had previously pursued Miss World Zhang Zilin, but she didn't reciprocate his feelings.

By the way, Zhang Zilin completed her screen debut in "Hard Man 2: I'll Fight to the End" last year, marking her transition into the film and television industry. In August of the same year, she shot the cover of Bazaar Jewelry magazine, becoming the first supermodel to grace the cover of Bazaar Jewelry.

It means that both of these world champions from the Liu family were pursuing actresses.

And then they couldn't catch up at first either...

The difference is that after Liu Xiang's pursuit of Zhang Zilin failed, he changed his target and later had a whirlwind marriage with actress Ge Tian.

Tragically, it turned out to be a disaster.

Liu Taile, on the other hand, remained true to his original intentions and eventually gained everything he desired.

It just hasn't been officially announced yet.

Hopefully, Liu Xiang won't be furious when they make the official announcement later.

"You're saying this is a promotional tactic for your short film?"

Guo Xiaosi asked Liu Taile in surprise, "You made a documentary just to promote the department's micro-movie?!"

"It's also to pave the way for my crossover into other fields."

Liu Taile explained, "Otherwise, it would be a bit abrupt to announce that I've become an actor directly to the public."

"That's true."

Guo Xiaosi nodded in agreement, then laughed heartily, "You've indirectly helped us a lot. Our production team can now directly announce that you've joined our 'Tiny Times'."

Three days after someone was taken away by Uncle Hat, the official announcement was released.

The "Tiny Times" production team was undoubtedly thrust into the spotlight.

With no other choice, Guo Xiaosi immediately held a press conference.

At the meeting, a certain person was severely reprimanded, and it was stated that the losses caused to the production team by that person would be investigated further.

Guo Jingming also publicly apologized, admitting that he had made a mistake in casting the role.

When the conversation turned to "deep emotions," Guo Jingming shed tears on the spot, hoping that everyone could give "Tiny Times" another chance. He said that they would select an actor who would satisfy everyone as soon as possible to play Gu Yuan.

As a result, this wait lasted for almost two weeks.

Many media outlets are still following the "recasting of Gu Yuan" situation, hoping to grab a headline.

"Director Guo, I just wanted to discuss something with you."

Liu Taile said, "Could we wait a little longer? I was thinking of waiting until the preliminary trailer for my short film is released before our production team officially announces that I'm playing Gu Yuan."

"I understand you want the news to gain more traction."

Guo Xiaosi said worriedly, "But as you can see now, how many media outlets are still following our crew? I don't even know how many paparazzi have come in. If it gets exposed early on, the subsequent buzz will be much less."

Liu Taile thought to himself: It's just that I was the one who ran into them, otherwise the news would have been exposed long ago.

He has recently bribed five groups of paparazzi, including those from Fengxing Studio.

That's why the news of his participation in "Tiny Times" can still be kept under wraps for now.

"It won't take long, probably only about a week."

Liu Taile said, "A week from now, the initial trailer for my short film 'The Thinker in a Wheelchair' will be released online, and then our production team can officially announce that I have joined the team."

"A week?"

Guo Xiaosi considered it carefully and nodded, "Okay, then let's wait another week. But Tai Le, you can't change your mind then."

No, it won't.

Liu Taile said firmly, "However, if the hype gets too high, I would appreciate Director Guo's help in trying not to delay our filming schedule."

"You don't need to say anything more, I know everything."

Guo Jingming got excited as he spoke, "I was worried that the hype wouldn't be high enough. Whether our 'Tiny Times' can become a hit before it even airs depends on this!"

Damn it, you're insane!

Looking at Guo Xiaosi's slightly reddened eyes with excitement, Liu Taile couldn't help but sigh.

With such an unprofessional director, the project is bound to become controversial.
