The two men stood facing each other, looking as though they had just emerged from a brawl, their hair tousled into a mess.

They stared at each other warily, as if ready to engage in another round of combat.



Yuan Heping was perplexed, “Gentlemen, what happened to you...?”

Upon hearing him, the two foreigners turned their heads.

Their faces were smeared with dirt, and their ties and shirts were disheveled.

The director’s pupils dilated in shock, and he blurted out, “Mr. Calvin? Mr. Xia Zuo?”

Truly renowned international directors could be counted on one hand: Great Xia’s Qu Lingyun, Western Continent’s Roz, and then Calvin and Xia Zuo.Rêađ latest cha/p/ters on no/v/e/l(b)in(.)c/o/m

Action sci-fi movies were challenging to produce without becoming overly extravagant, but Calvin and Xia Zuo had masterfully balanced the essence of sci-fi films.

When two titans compete in the same field, that field tends to develop even more rapidly.

Although the director didn’t specialize in sci-fi, he recognized a few internationally acclaimed directors.

But their current state was quite... unexpected.

Yuan Heping’s expression changed as he scrutinized the dusty faces of the two men, his pupils constricting in surprise.

He was a fan of action sci-fi movies and the names Calvin and Xia Zuo were deeply etched in his memory, as they had dominated the sci-fi movie awards in recent years.



He’s flying!”

The director smirked.

LOL.

What did international directors know, having never seen the likes of this before?

“Here’s the thing, Mr. Yuan, I’ve reviewed your resume, and I believe you perfectly fit the lead role in my next film,” Calvin stepped forward eagerly, “It’s a time-travel movie, where an older and a younger version of the lead character meet. It’s hard for action movies to win at the Glenn Awards, but a Best Actor award is definitely within reach!”

“Join me, and I guarantee you’ll become the next Best Actor!”

Yuan Heping, taken aback, stuttered without managing to articulate a response, only to be interrupted by Xia Zuo placing a hand on his shoulder, “Mr. Yuan, don’t listen to his nonsense. You must star in my movie. My next project is set in an interstellar war, offering much larger scenes than his movie.”



“Your martial arts skills should be showcased to the audience. I, too, can guarantee you’ll become the next Best Actor!”

They could certainly see that Yuan Heping was not merely performing fancy but ineffective martial arts moves; he possessed genuine skill.

This was exactly what was required for an action sci-fi movie.

The reason was that international directors had largely overlooked the Great Xia Empire and they were not in need of actors.

However, both Calvin and Xia Zuo were seeking a breakthrough.

Yuan Heping perfectly met their criteria for an actor, otherwise, they wouldn’t have considered him, even if he came highly recommended by Gu Wenzhu.

“I... I need to think about it,” Yuan Heping was stunned, finding himself at a loss for words. At the age of sixty, he stuttered, “I... I haven’t decided yet, I....”
