On the other side, when Mingbei returned to the Step by Step crew and told them what had happened that day, it immediately caused the others to gasp in surprise.

"No way, you got the chance to work with Stephen Chow just by opening this door?"

"Really? You saw Stephen Chow?"

"That's outrageous! Does being good-looking mean you can do whatever you want?"

"Ah, I'm so envious! Why wasn't it me who got this opportunity!"

......

Hearing these guys' comments, Mingbei was speechless.

"No, none of you listened carefully! It was just an audition opportunity, not a direct collaboration with Stephen Chow!"

Liu Shishi gave him a thumbs up, "Amazing! No wonder, yeah, no wonder you're the most handsome man in our crew!"

"Forehead!"

Others who heard this comment wanted to say something, but felt they couldn't refute it.

Even setting aside the factors of their identities, Liu Shishi's statement is actually quite fair.

"Sigh, being good-looking is such a huge advantage!" Han Dong sighed, touching his face.

"I'm not so lucky..."

At its core, the entertainment industry is still a world that judges people by their looks.

Even if some talented but not particularly good-looking artists make a name for themselves, they are still a tiny minority in the vast entertainment industry.

More often, it's the pretty kids who end up in this circle.

Those who aren't pretty will be eliminated very early on.

Of course, the named characters in the production are not ugly, and each has their own unique characteristics.

But to say that she's as stunning as a beauty queen is a bit of a stretch.

This omission could be more than six points.

Good looks are a stepping stone to many industries, and can even help you go a long way after you get in.

Moreover, Mingbei is not just a pretty face; he also possesses considerable strength.

Good looks plus any other ability—that's a huge advantage!

Although the group sounded a bit sour, they were actually happy for Mingbei.

This is something that can't be envied. They get along very well with Mingbei, so naturally they don't feel envious, jealous, or resentful.

Befriend him now, and maybe when he recovers, he can help them out!

At this moment, Zheng Jiaying took over the conversation.

"If you take on a role in Stephen Chow's film, what about the Four Great Constables...?"

Mingbei explained, "I also spoke with the casting director about the Four Great Constables and scheduled an audition!"

"It's hard to say the exact situation yet, but based on what I understand, filming for Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons won't start anytime soon; it'll be at least June or July!"

"As for the other side, filming for 'The Four Great Constables' is expected to start in April or May!"

Kevin Cheng nodded. "If all goes well, you shouldn't have any conflicts taking on two projects at the same time!"

Filming multiple projects simultaneously is a very bad practice, and no director or production team would be in a good mood if they saw it.

However, normally speaking, actors who haven't reached a certain level of fame can't afford to take on multiple projects at once.

Because filming multiple projects simultaneously requires coordination between the two production teams to adjust the shooting schedule.

For ordinary actors, the production crew won't care that much about you!

If you dare to film multiple projects at once, I'll fire you!

Anyway, there are tons of ordinary actors in the entertainment industry!

Only top-tier actors with a voice can achieve this.

Neither film actually involves a lot of screen time, and if all goes smoothly, filming can be completed within a month.

From a time perspective, there should be room for coordination.

The premise is that he can get the role.

"It's too early to talk about these things now," Mingbei shrugged and laughed.

"What if you don't get selected for either of those roles?"

This is not impossible.

Leaving aside the Four Great Constables, Stephen Chow is known for his notoriously strict requirements.

Meeting his unusual demands will certainly be quite difficult.

"Let's not talk about that anymore, let's finish filming first!"

Filming for Mingbei is nearing completion; it looks like it'll be over in the next day or two.

As Mingbei was about to leave the crew, Liu Shishi became even more clingy, wishing she could be with him 24 hours a day!

But it was precisely because of this that his condition was slightly affected.

So much so that the director had to find Mingbei and have an in-depth conversation with him:

"Brother, this won't do. You need to talk to Shishi; it can't affect the filming!"

When filming some lighthearted scenes, Liu Shishi was completely immersed in the role, and her performance was excellent!

However, the subsequent filming consisted mostly of melodramatic scenes.

For example, things like breaking up or parting ways.

Under these circumstances, Liu Shishi's acting style did not change well, and the number of takes was significantly more than before.

"Okay, I understand!"

Hearing this, Mingbei was filled with apology.

In fact, director Li Guoli has considerable experience. Although he is from Hong Kong, he directed the mainland productions "Chinese Paladin 1" and "The Little Fairy".

These two works alone are enough to demonstrate their significance.

He was also a contracted director with Tangren Media, but he wasn't arrogant at all and was quite polite to Mingbei.

Therefore, Mingbei was very polite to him, took on the matter, and promised to persuade Liu Shishi.

That evening, after Liu Shishi entered the room, she was about to ask for a hug when she saw Ming Bei standing there with a serious expression, his eyes fixed on her.

When it comes to expressive eyes, Mingbei's acting is undeniably intimidating.

Especially now, with a stern face, like a strict teacher in class, it immediately gives people a vague sense of trepidation.

"W-what's wrong...?"

"Come here and sit down."

Mingbei pointed to the chair in front of him, gesturing for Liu Shishi to come and sit down.

With a slightly apprehensive feeling, Liu Shishi carefully sat down.

What is your dream?

However, the first question she heard next left her somewhat bewildered.

Why did you suddenly ask her about her dreams?

"Answer seriously, no joking or fooling around!"

Seeing Mingbei's unprecedentedly serious expression, Liu Shishi also began to seriously ponder this question.

After a long pause, she raised her head and slowly spoke.

"I want to be a good actor..."

"Very good!" Mingbei nodded in satisfaction.

"It seems you haven't forgotten the hardships of being a dance student, nor have you forgotten what you were striving for in the first place!"

He paused, then continued in a deep voice,

"Since you haven't forgotten your original aspirations, you should now devote more energy to acting!"

"Did you understand what I said?!"

"I understand, I understand!" Liu Shishi nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.

"I understand, I'll definitely act in even better form!"

Seeing her statement, Mingbei finally smiled.

Seeing him smile, Liu Shishi smiled too.

"The way you were acting just now, you looked like the head of student affairs!"

Dean of Students?

Mingbei sneered, then picked him up directly.

"In that case, let's have a cosplay event today!"
