Chapter 344: Chapter 323 The Forgotten Treasure Chest _1

“Is this the dog that will be acting with me? How did Teacher Admirable Fish manage to bring it into the company?”

Before finishing work in the evening.

Zhang Xiuming came to the ninth floor composing department.

He has two purposes, one is to see Lin Yuan to discuss the script, and the other is to take Antarctica home to build a relationship.

As a result, the moment he laid eyes on Antarctica, Zhang Xiuming felt very close to it.

Lin Yuan introduced: “Its name is Antarctica, playing Hachiko this time.”

It’s interesting.

Antarctica actually circled around Zhang Xiuming, sniffed around a bit, and finally rubbed Zhang Xiuming’s trouser leg, looking very obedient.

Zhang Xiuming broke into a big laugh: “This dog is quite close to me.”

Antarctica wagged its tail at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan said: “It smells the scent of its own kind on you.”

Zhang Xiuming: “….”

What does that mean?

Lin Yuan asked: “Do you have a dog at home?”

Zhang Xiuming then realized his misunderstanding: “I do have a dog at home… How do you know, can you communicate with dogs?”

Lin Yuan said: “I think I can.”

Zhang Xiuming was confused: you think?

Lin Yuan explained: “There are a few dog hairs on your clothes.”

Zhang Xiuming: “….”

He’s a very special young man.

He evaluated in his heart, then returned to the topic: “About ‘Hachiko’, I will write a character note, does Teacher Admirable Fish have anything to say?”

“Yes.”

Lin Yuan said: “What kind of woman do you like?”

Zhang Xiuming replied almost instinctively: “I like the kind like my wife.”

Lin Yuan said: “Is your sister-in-law an actress?”

Zhang Xiuming laughed: “So you were asking about the female lead. I didn’t expect Teacher Admirable Fish to ask for my opinion. In my opinion, Zhou Xue is pretty good.”

Lin Yuan nodded: “Then let’s go with her.”

Lin Yuan remembered Zhou Xue, she was the female antagonist in “The Tuner”, a classic villainess. But that doesn’t mean Zhou Xue can only play that kind of role.

As a gorgeous forty-year-old actress, Zhou Xue can handle quite a variety of roles.

Zhang Xiuming chuckled bitterly: “So I just decided like that?”

Lin Yuan replied matter-of-factly: “I think it’s quite suitable.”

Zhang Xiuming’s gaze flashed with something unusual.

With Admirable Fish, a burgeoning new scriptwriter in the industry, and himself, a well-respected actor, the attention paid to the movie “Hachiko” would certainly not be small.

The selection of the female lead for such a film is actually quite a hot commodity.

In other words.

Lin Yuan could totally use this role to get some benefits from many actresses.

Not necessarily through shady deals.

With Lin Yuan’s good looks, not being taken advantage of by others would already be a testament to his great success.

So-called benefits can come in many forms.

Yet Admirable Fish simply selected the candidate without a second thought, with no intention of using the role for other purposes.

Film people like these tend to be purists.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiuming nodded: “Teacher Admirable Fish, then I’ll be taking Antarctica home first.”

“Sure.”

Lin Yuan waved his hand.

Without even looking at Lin Yuan, Antarctica happily followed Zhang Xiuming out, not looking sad at all.

“Mr. Lin is really interesting.”

Zhang Xiuming commented as he led the dog to the garage.

At this time, his driver drove the car over: “Teacher Zhang, get on.”

“Alright.”

Just as Zhang Xiuming was about to go forward, Antarctica beat him to it by opening the car door first, then jumped in and casually sat down, its white belly exposed, sticking out its tongue and looking out the window.

Zhang Xiuming was stunned.

A dog that could open car doors and sit like a human, was Teacher Admirable Fish’s dog actually some kind of supernatural creature?

…

Zhou Xue received the drama invitation from the crew that night.

When she found out she had been chosen as the female lead for Admirable Fish’s new movie, she was so happy she jumped up and down and gave her assistant a big kiss.

The assistant was a young girl, she jumped around with Zhou Xue, too excited to stand still, continually muttering:

“Thank you, Teacher Admirable Fish!”

“The male lead is Teacher Zhang Xiuming, this is an opportunity to collaborate with a highly respected actor!”

Zhou Xue was an actress who had naturally fallen out of favor as she aged. She hadn’t had a glorious career when she was young, and being forgotten by the audience as she got older was a common occurrence. It was the fate of many similar actresses.

Not until she took part in “The Tuner”, did Zhou Xue’s career start to pick up again.

So Zhou Xue was very grateful to Admirable Fish.

Zhou Xue didn’t expect that after “The Tuner”, Admirable Fish would think of her for his new movie.

If she were a few years younger, if Admirable Fish wasn’t so handsome, Zhou Xue would almost think he had feelings for her.

For her, being chosen by Admirable Fish twice felt like being hit by a pie falling from the sky.

Ecstatic!

In fact.

Many of the actors at Starlight were hoping to be hit by Admirable Fish’s pie from the sky. Unfortunately, the number of pies is limited, so the vast majority of people are destined to be disappointed.

Lin Yuan hadn’t realized that now he could change someone’s fate with just a few words.

In the following few days, the crew of “Hachiko” was always busy preparing.

On Zhang Xiuming’s end, he constantly communicated situations with Lin Yuan.

According to Zhang Xiuming, he got along with Antarctica so well that they could even sleep together.

“This dog understands everything. It can open car doors, use the toilet, even more incredible is that it can watch dramas with me!” Zhang Xiuming described in an exaggerated manner.

Lin Yuan, curious, asked: “What drama?”

Zhang Xiuming: “… ” Are you concerned about that?

Thinking that this was Lin Yuan’s dog, Zhang Xiuming felt that Lin Yuan should be aware, and could understand why Lin Yuan was so calm.

This dog was just very special anyway.

Lin Yuan indeed didn’t think it was a problem that a dog could do these things.

Dogs can even help the police catch bad guys.

He remembered watching a movie in his previous life, where cats and dogs almost ruled the world.

If they were described as in Xin Xing Yi’s short novel “Cats”, these terrifying creatures probably already ruled the world.

All these are the small details.

What Lin Yuan is considering now is whether to continue the good tradition of “The Tuner” and add more piano music to it?

Not forcibly adding it.

At the very least it can serve as background music.

Moreover, in the movie “Hachiko”, the male lead has a music teacher role.

Lin Yuan can smoothly add a piece of music without any inconsistencies.

Last time the piano music added to “The Tuner” had a very good effect.

Songs like “Mariage d’Amour” are great for promotion in excellent movies.

“Right, there’s a Silver Treasure Chest…”

Lin Yuan had a Silver Treasure Chest all this time that he didn’t open, almost being forgotten. It wasn’t until recently that he remembered this.

Alright then.

Mainly because he hadn’t stumbled upon any luck.

When he’s unsure about his luck, Lin Yuan doesn’t want to open the box.

But people always say, wine gets better with age, could it be the same for a box?

Having waited this long to open it, this Silver Treasure Chest probably won’t disappoint him, right?

“Open the box, System.”

Lin Yuan felt somewhat expectant.

As for what he’s expecting the box to contain, most people probably couldn’t guess.
