Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 252: Questions and doubts abound!
Zhuang Wenqiang then organized a gathering so that the main creators could get to know each other.

Most of them are veteran actors from Hong Kong's TVB, and they are not as easy to get along with as Chow Yun-fat.

They were filled with doubt in Zhou Yang's eyes. Could this young man really portray the feeling of Li Wen?

The most challenging character in "Project Gutenberg" is Li Wen, because he has two completely different images: on the one hand, he is cunning and cold-blooded in reality, and on the other hand, he is cowardly but full of justice in his imagination.

It is very difficult to portray two completely opposite personalities, and even these veteran TVB actors dare not say that they can handle it.

Moreover, Zhou Yang is a fair-skinned and tender young man.
The staff around them expressed great doubt about this.

"This Lu Sheng actually got to act alongside Chow Yun-fat? Is this some kind of joke?"

"Yes, any one of the younger generation in Hong Kong is more suitable than him. Director Zhuang's decision is absurd!"

"They must have been forced in here to cater to mainland capital."

"Sigh, I hope he won't negatively impact our schedule. This movie is scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival."

"..."

Zhou Yang frowned as he overheard the discussions among the staff around him.

They even look down on mainlanders, but don't forget, their ancestors were also mainlanders!
Chow Yun-fat patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't take it to heart. They didn't mean it. That's how Hong Kong is. Strength determines everything. Just focus on your performance, and I'm looking forward to you teaching them a lesson."

“Okay, Brother Fa.” Zhou Yang nodded.

Zhuang Wenqiang instructed that Zhou Yang be taken downstairs to get her makeup done. When Zhou Yang came out after her makeup was done, everyone was pleasantly surprised.

With his messy hair, sloppy clothes, and black-rimmed glasses, Zhou Yang really looked a bit like Li Wen's character in the script.

However, while the image is there, the most important thing is the acting skills, which still need to be observed.

"Project Gutenberg" tells a thrilling story about printing counterfeit money. The plot revolves around an unknown "painter," blurring the lines between reality and fiction, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood until the very last moment when all the mysteries are revealed.

Soon, the first scene was ready to begin.

Li Wen was arrested by the Thai police and eventually escorted back to Hong Kong. The police took him to the police station for questioning.

After preparations were completed, Zhou Yang and the other actors playing police officers took their positions.

"Project Gutenberg, Scene 1, Shot 1, Action!"

At Zhuang Wenqiang's command, Zhou Yang seemed to become a different person. He sat among several policemen, staring blankly at the table, without saying a word.

"Instantly got into character!" A hint of surprise flashed through Zhuang Wenqiang's mind. What was surprising was that Zhou Yang was able to get into character so quickly, which was unbelievable.

Although he has worked with many superstars, very few people can immediately get into character; this is a rare talent!

At this point, another actor playing a police officer begins to detail a series of notorious cases that have occurred in recent years, ultimately pointing to the same international counterfeit money syndicate.

"The gang members included Wu Xin and Lin Lihua from Macau, as well as Shen Sihai and Wang Bo, both from South China. They were all killed! Only two are still alive." At this point, the police officer's gaze turned to Zhou Yang, who was playing the role of Li Wen.

"You are one of them!"

Upon hearing the police officer's words, Li Wen blinked, feeling somewhat uneasy.

The police officer continued, "The painter, who is your boss, has no information anywhere in the world."

Then, the police pulled out a photo taken from a surveillance camera on a power distribution tower on a Canadian highway; this was the only one of its kind.

Li Wen blinked faster, revealing a tense expression on his face.

Zhou Yang remained silent throughout, but his body language conveyed a wealth of information on numerous occasions.

He had perfect control over the details, which surprised the staff around him. "Wow, this Rikuo is pretty amazing!"

"Every muscle in his face is moving; the attention to detail is superb!"

"Director Zhuang is truly a master; his vision is indeed far superior to ours."

"It seems that this Lu Sheng is not just a pretty face; he really has the ability."

"I'm looking forward to his scenes with Chow Yun-fat."

"Yes, I wonder if he can maintain such an excellent performance when facing Chow Yun-fat."

"..."

At that moment, another policewoman who had been secretly monitoring Li Wen's expression spoke up.

Her sharp eyes were fixed on the impatient Li Wen as she said, "Do you know why there's no information about him anywhere in the world? Because he's extremely secretive; he'll quickly erase any trace of suspicion the moment it arises."

The policewoman paused for a moment, then continued, "If he knew you were here..."

Upon hearing this, Li Wen suddenly looked up and quickly retorted, "How do you know he doesn't know?"

The policewoman smiled dismissively. "So what if he knows?"

This is the Hong Kong Police Headquarters, the safest and most heavily guarded place in Hong Kong, and she has unwavering confidence in that.

Li Wen stared intently at the policewoman and said seriously, "If he knew I was here, everyone here would be destroyed!"

At this point, Zhou Yang's lips trembled slightly, and his voice trembled, revealing the fear deep in Li Wen's heart.

This detail made Zhuang Wenqiang secretly admire Zhou Yang, who had completely understood Li Wen's inner state.

This wasn't the end of it. Li Wen's emotions began to become unstable, and the policewoman hurriedly asked, "Mr. Li, are you alright?"

This person is the only survivor of the international banknote syndicate, and if he has emotional problems, it will seriously affect the progress of the case investigation.

Li Wen's face showed an expression of extreme pain, and he repeated over and over with a sob in his voice, "Many people will lose their lives!"

Then, Li Wen suddenly stood up and said excitedly, "Please, please send me back to prison! Otherwise, many people will lose their lives because of this!"

Seeing that Li Wen was losing control of his emotions, two strong male police officers barely managed to restrain him and forcibly took him away from the scene.

"Please believe me! Please!" Li Wen murmured repeatedly, his expression frantic and his voice filled with sorrow and grief.

Zhou Yang's outstanding performance quickly attracted the attention of all the staff.

"Click! That's awesome!"

Zhuang Wenqiang shouted excitedly; Zhou Yang's sudden outburst of emotion had caught him completely off guard!

The audience immediately erupted in enthusiastic applause, their faces filled with admiration.

"That's amazing! That's incredible!"

"In an instant, his facial expression changed drastically, his veins bulged, and his emotional outburst was truly impressive!"

"Such excellent acting skills, how come I've never heard of such a talented actor before?"

"Because he just debuted, he started out as a variety show personality."

"Your information is a bit outdated. This Zhou Yang has already become the most watched male actor in mainland China, and has starred in several popular dramas in a row!"
