I'm really good at this.

"Director Liu, congratulations! May your new work achieve record-breaking ratings!"

"You're too kind. Come on, let's begin the interview."

This shows the difference between Liu Yishou and Sun Zheng.

Liu Yishou is the type to get straight to the point, and once he's done, that's it.

If it were Sun Zheng, he would probably ask the other person if they had eaten, since it was early in the morning.

Then have someone bring over some food and drinks, chat about other random things related to lesbian relationships, and then move on to the interview.

If it's Zhang Hong...

Forget it, someone who doesn't even have an encyclopedia entry doesn't deserve to be interviewed.

Getting back to the point, although this was supposed to be an exclusive interview, more than ten media outlets were still present.

It could be considered a small press conference.

Typically, if you've filmed a movie or TV series that's currently airing, you'll participate in variety shows or similar programs before and during its release as a form of promotion.

However, given Liu Yishou's status, he was too lazy to bother with those things.

He has his own purpose in doing this today.

At the meeting, he first announced the current data of his TV series, and then proceeded with the usual pleasantries.

Ten minutes later, the main topic officially began – the media Q&A session.

The first to raise his hand was a mature and composed male reporter in his thirties.

"Director Liu, hello. I'm a reporter from Jixing Entertainment. How did you come up with the idea of ​​creating a spy drama with a female protagonist?"

Jixing Entertainment is, of course, a website under Jixing Media.

The first question, naturally, is about our own people.

And the questions he asked were quite clever.

It appears to be a question, but it's actually a boast.

The first domestic spy film with a female protagonist, doesn't that sound amazing?

Sure enough, Liu Yishou readily agreed: "Indeed, this might be the first spy film in China with a female protagonist. I don't know if anyone else has made one before. If anyone has, please let me know later. I don't want to be taken out of context, so please don't write anything nonsense."

Laughter and cheers echoed from below.

Logically, the next question should be the second one, but Liu Yishou didn't follow the expected pattern.

"But to be honest, I didn't originally plan to give Liu Meng so many scenes. Originally, this was just an ordinary spy film with a male-dominated plot. I made these changes because of one person."

The reporter from Jixing Entertainment was puzzled. This was different from what they had said before. What was this part?

Some reporters from other media outlets were confused, while others' eyes lit up, knowing that news had arrived.

Even some of the reporters were die-hard fans of the show, and they had already guessed who Liu Yishou was talking about.

The reporter from Luoshen Entertainment was even more impressive. He had already typed out the news article on his laptop and was just waiting for Liu Yishou to say the name so he could press enter and send it back to the editor-in-chief for review.

The image of that handsome, melancholic, and exceptionally talented young man, Liu Yishou, appeared in my mind, his smile unusually kind.

Even the wrinkles around his eyes have become deeper.

"It's Zhang Hong, who plays Fang Bie in the drama. He's also the lyricist and composer of 'The Wind Rises' at the end of the last episode. It's not just a coincidence of names."

Everyone perked up immediately.

We're not sleepy anymore now that you're saying that!

Zhang Hong!

A mysterious name.

A mysterious person.

All the media outlets wanted to find out who this person came from.

But this person seemed to appear out of nowhere.

No, not at all.

They actually found a man named Zhang Hong, but the young man seemed to have only graduated from the Beijing Film Academy a little over a year ago.

But after investigation, it turned out that he had studied directing.

Moreover, someone found his old photos. Compared to the "Fang Bie" in the TV series, although he was quite handsome, he completely lacked that mature, melancholic, literary, and dashing temperament.

It's hard to describe clearly, but it's the kind of handsome that you not only think is handsome, but also has a rhythmic kind of handsomeness.

You might even feel a tightness in your chest and feel an irresistible urge to enter his world and understand his heart.

This is a man with a past.

This kind of acting skill is something most young people can't pull off.

Moreover, Zhang Hong was found to have graduated from the directing department, so there's no reason for him to become an actor, right?

And he even writes songs? The key is that his songs are quite good.

He's also incredibly handsome!

Why should I?

The entertainment industry doesn't allow such an awesome person to exist!

A female reporter quickly raised her hand and asked, "Director Liu! Could you tell me more about Zhang Hong? Where did you find him? What are his previous works? How tall is he? How much does he weigh? Will he come to the press conferences? How old is he? Is he single? Does he have a girlfriend?"

Liu Yishou: "..."

The reporters: "..."

Girl, are you here for an interview or for a blind date?

The previous questions are one thing, but everyone wants to know the answers.

But what's with all that? Are you checking his household registration? Why don't you just ask him what kind of girl he likes?

Um...actually, the other female reporters wanted to know too.

All of this was exactly what Liu Yishou wanted.

"This isn't just one problem for you, is it? But it's not like I can't talk about it."

Liu Yishou pondered for a moment, as if recalling: "At that time, 'Bloody Youth' was being filmed in a tourist area. Halfway through filming, Fang Bie had a health problem and could not continue acting, so we had to replace him."

I was quite anxious at the time, but our assistant director told me that there was no use in being anxious, and what I needed to do now was to calm down and think of a solution.

Then we went to the smoking area to relax and discuss what to do next.

At this point, Liu Yishou laughed: "It was in the smoking area that I saw Zhang Hong."

He picked up a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it, took a sip to moisten his throat, and continued, "At that moment, I felt like an arrow had pierced my heart. How should I put it... it was the episode where he first appeared in the show, the scene at the end where he was smoking alone in the night, remember? It felt similar, even the trench coat he was wearing was the same."

"You all know what happened later." He shrugged, looking helpless. "His image and acting skills are too outstanding. It would be a waste to only play a minor villainous role with only two episodes. But there was time and cost involved, and we didn't have time to reshoot, so I changed the plot and created this classic character."

The eyes of several female reporters lit up.

Clearly, they had already begun to recall Zhang Hong's handsome appearance while smoking in their minds.

Liu Yishou joked again: "As for height and weight... he's probably around 1.8 meters tall, not yet 25, and probably still single."

The female reporters' eyes lit up even more, and then they all lowered their heads and began typing furiously.

Of course, the same applies to male reporters.

This is big news!

Even the title was already planned: "Director Liu Yishou rewrote the script just for one person!"

The reporter from Jixing Entertainment was sweating profusely.

Dude, this is different from what we discussed in advance!

He was a senior editor, so he knew some inside information from the editor-in-chief.

That Zhang Hong... our head office is going to crack down on him!

So he asked a question: "Director Liu, did you encounter him in the smoking area? Does smoking, this bad habit, affect his image?"

Liu Yishou's eyes lit up, and he took a serious look at the reporter.

Good lad! Just like a pillow delivered to someone who's been sleeping! He's got potential!

He was just thinking about how to steer the conversation toward director Zhang Hong's identity and the film "Clouds Fall into the Mortal World," when you, kid, came along and gave him a way out!

Looks like I'll have to put in a good word for him with the editor-in-chief when I get back; maybe that kid will get a promotion.

Liu Yishou gave the other person an approving look and said with a smile, "He's an adult now, and he's not the kind of idol actor. To be precise, although he's a great actor and can write lyrics and compose music, his main profession is actually directing."

The reporters below looked at each other in bewilderment.

This is another big news story!

Many reporters even seemed to realize something.

Then the same female reporter cautiously asked, "Director Liu, could it be that Zhang Hong is...?"

"Not bad." Liu Yishou smiled slightly. "You all know 'Clouds Falling into the Mortal World,' right? That's Zhang Hong's film. I can say with certainty now that his future is limitless!"

The reporters were so excited their faces turned red, and their keyboards were practically blurring with typing!

They knew that a rising star was about to create a huge stir in the entertainment industry!

Once this interview is published, then... half of the entertainment industry will be blown away!
