The secretary nodded in agreement. "Yes!"
"Also, has the demolition execution plan been sent out?"
"It was mailed the day before yesterday."
"Very good!"
Jian Zhou nodded, turned, and got into the elevator.
The elevator doors slowly closed, and the scene froze.
"Cut!"
Chen Mingzhang shouted into his walkie-talkie.
Although this scene was less than a few minutes long, everyone present, except for Jiang Ling, was amazed by Jian Zhou's performance.
Because the segment he had just acted was more like a domineering CEO than a real-life one.
For a moment.
The actors participating in the scene all had the illusion that they were not filming, but that the person in front of them was truly a domineering CEO.
What is excellent acting?
It is when the actor and the role become one, making those around them forget they are filming.
Everyone had thought that only Jiang Ling among all the actors present could achieve this. They never expected that Jian Zhou, a newcomer, would possess such exquisite and lifelike acting skills.
However, Jiang Ling could see that a large part of Jian Zhou's uncanny grasp of the role stemmed from his natural portrayal.
If it were a different role, it might not have been as good.
Initially, Jiang Ling did not believe Jian Zhou could handle the role of Shan Junhao.
Now, she had to admit that Chen Mingzhang was indeed the Godfather of Idol Dramas, and his casting choices were brilliant. Jian Zhou was truly the best candidate to play Shan Junhao.
When filming, Jiang Ling feared that her scene partner's poor acting would drag her down.
Now that Jian Zhou had such a precise handle on Shan Junhao, performing opposite him made things much easier.
"Beautiful! Perfect! This domineering CEO entrance is truly brilliant. This is exactly what I wanted!"
Chen Mingzhang, unaware of Jian Zhou's family background, assumed this was a domineering CEO portrayed through acting and praised him without reservation.
He was already pleasantly surprised that Jiang Ling would use her superb acting skills to portray Ye Tianyu.
To think that the actor playing Shan Junhao was also so powerful.
With the two of them joining forces as the male and female leads, it was an absolute game-changer.
If this couldn't create a classic, he really had nothing left to live for.
The actors and staff present also secretly admired Director Chen's keen eye for talent.
When the announcement was made about casting a newcomer as Shan Junhao, they felt unconvinced.
The entertainment industry was full of handsome, popular male artists with fan bases. Why choose a newcomer for the role of Shan Junhao?
What gave him the right? What qualified him?
A few people with darker thoughts even suspected improper dealings between Chen Mingzhang and Jian Zhou, which led to such an important role being given to him.
Seeing Jian Zhou play the domineering CEO so compellingly at this moment, they finally understood Director Chen's intention.
There was no hidden agenda here; he genuinely earned this role through his skill.
Given Jian Zhou's looks and acting abilities,
As long as he didn't self-sabotage and his management company was willing to invest resources, he would undoubtedly become the second platinum-tier artist after Jiang Ling.
Good actors can elevate each other.
Jian Zhou's precise performance in the role of Shan Junhao indirectly spurred Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling's acting skills became stronger when challenged; the better her counterpart performed, the stronger her own performance became.
In both her past and current lives, Jiang Ling had been an actress.
She had played countless roles and acted with many male actors.
After a few scenes together with Jian Zhou, Jiang Ling felt a strange, complex emotion welling up within her.
