However, there had never been a newcomer in the company who met her inner standards, so she had always been Guan Yun’s manager. She helped Guan Yun advance step by step to the international stage and become the representative figure of an Oriental actress.
Song Jia knew Ye Xuan’s ambition. After signing Lu Zhen, he did not consider letting others be Lu Zhen’s manager at all. He first contacted Ye Xuan. Before seeing Lu Zhen, Ye Xuan could not be sure if this female celebrity who had debuted for many years and was very popular in the country met her standards.
However, after seeing Lu Zhen, Ye Xuan found everything she wanted from her.
Young, beautiful, intelligent, and aspiring. All of this was exactly the same as Guan Yun when she was young.
However, Lu Zhen was different from Guan Yun. The 18-year-old Guan Yun was like a wild rose with thorns. She was beautiful and charming with a natural temptation. She wanted to show everyone her beauty and talent.
The 18-year-old Lu Zhen was like an unpolished jade. No one could tell what she could be carved into, and she did not seem to be in a hurry to prove herself. She accumulated energy bit by bit and quietly did what she should do. She was neither arrogant nor impatient. She was neither fast nor slow as she trained herself bit by bit.
In essence, Lu Zhen was completely different from Guan Yun.
Ye Xuan did not want to use a stereotypical impression to evaluate these two artists she had taken care of, but she had a faint premonition in the depths of her heart.
Lu Zhen might go further.
“I have good news,” Ye Xuan said calmly as she took a sip of tea.
Lu Zhen looked at Ye Xuan. Something that Ye Xuan thought was good news was important enough to attract her attention. “What good news?”
“Samir is going to film a new film.” Ye Xuan mentioned someone who made it difficult for Lu Zhen to maintain her calm.
Samir was once known as the “greatest director of the century”. Although this title was slightly exaggerated, it was enough to prove Samir’s status in the film industry. He had directed many movies and washed the film market in many countries with blood, creating countless box office legends. It could be said that he was the most successful commercial film director in a hundred years.
He maintained a perfect balance between film art creation and film commercial value. In addition to his superb filming techniques, he also led the innovation of film technology and opened a brand new film era.
Lu Zhen gently put down her teacup, her heart stirring. She was still very self-aware. Although she was very popular in the country, she was not famous internationally at all. For a big director like Samir to film a new movie, the actor he would be collaborating with could only be an international superstar. She did not even have the chance to show her face in front of Samir, let alone in Samir’s movie.
What kind of relationship would a big director like Samir have with her? Why did Ye Xuan mention him in front of her?
From Lu Zhen’s eyes, Ye Xuan could feel Lu Zhen’s confusion. She smiled slightly. “One of my teachers in university had a cooperative relationship with Samir. I heard a piece of news from him.”
Lu Zhen looked at Ye Xuan seriously without moving her eyes. She was extremely focused.
“Samir is about to film three epic sci-fi blockbusters. They will be invested by Universal Film and Television. The total investment amount is more than all the commercial movies in the world in the past twenty years. The first one is already in preparation. The main leads have already been confirmed. We’re still discussing the candidates for some supporting roles.”
Lu Zhen’s doubts dissipated bit by bit, and her heart pounded. Could it be that Ye Xuan meant that the small supporting role in Samir’s movie might be related to her? God, was she dreaming? Even though her mental fortitude was extremely strong after her rebirth, at this moment, Lu Zhen still could not suppress the excitement in her heart.
For an actor, the ultimate goal was definitely to step onto the international stage and become an international superstar.
However, many people did not have this opportunity in their lives. It was even more difficult for Asian actors to go international. Guan Yun was such an outstanding actor. She had walked this path for almost ten years and had only achieved a little.
Lu Zhen was not even twenty years old this year. That was something that she had never thought of. She had never even dreamed of it. Lu Zhen felt dizzy as if she was lacking oxygen. She took a deep breath and struggled to maintain her calm.. “And then?”
