Chapter 64: Their Eyes Are Pulling Strings

The opening banquet.

A galaxy of stars gathered.

Sunglasses King sat right in the middle, the absolute center seat!

Film is the director's art.

Even though what appears on the screen is the actor.

The director is the absolute soul of a film.

Art films are even more so.

"Blossoms Shanghai" is essentially a feature-length film.

All the actors are merely ornaments on this work of art called "Blossoms Shanghai."

Besides, Sunglasses King's status speaks for itself.

Who could steal his center seat?

Only Su Chen was very curious.

Late at night, Wong Kar-wai was still wearing his sunglasses.

Can he really see anything?

Sunglasses King raised his glass.

"I hope all of us can cooperate in perfect sincerity and complete this work with the highest efficiency and the highest quality."

"I will also fix my habit of dragging things out, and aim to wrap within a few months."

"Here's to a smooth shoot for 'Blossoms Shanghai'! Cheers!"

After drinking.

Sunglasses King turned to Su Chen.

"You may have all heard that my original choice for male lead was Hu Ge."

"Some of you came here for him."

"I have my own reasons for switching to Xiao Su at the last minute."

"Hu Ge is of course wonderful—he's a great actor."

"But I feel that Xiao Su's image, temperament, and acting are a bit closer to this role than Hu Ge's."

"Just that little bit more…"

Ma Yili was the first to speak up.

"Director Wong, you're the director, you call the shots."

"We're actors, we only need to play our parts well."

Xin Zhilei parted those thick, fiery red lips, and stole another glance at Su Chen.

While casting flirtatious looks his way, she spoke up on his behalf.

"I think Su Chen, this handsome young man from miles around, is pretty great!"
