Chapter 131 Unparalleled Hero
"Hello, Mr. Qian, I am Lin Yu, a director." Lin Yu greeted the old man in front of him respectfully.
"Hello, Mr. Qian, I'm Luo Jin, an actor from Starlight." Luo Jin also greeted Mr. Qian, saying, "Hehe—Lin Yu, I've heard of you, the director of 'The Martian'! I've seen it, you're amazing, young man!" Mr. Qian smiled kindly, "You are the truly remarkable one, Mr. Qian. My little skills are nothing compared to yours, not even worthy of being called a fish out of water." Lin Yu said modestly, "Haha—you really don't seem like someone your age, you're a bit too modest! I know your abilities, and I've heard some information about you from my family, hehe—to be honest, I quite like you, young man, because I feel that you are somewhat similar to me at heart. Although we are in two completely different professions, we have both chosen to contribute our strength to our motherland as Chinese."
Moreover—contributing to the country is the same in every industry. We all need to prove to foreigners, whether in the physical or the spiritual and cultural spheres, that what they can do abroad, we can do in China too. Haha—you have fully demonstrated this, so you deserve the title of "remarkable!" Mr. Qian said with a smile.
Hearing Mr. Qian's words, Lin Yu felt a mix of emotions. He knew himself all too well what kind of person he was. He was nothing like the noble person Mr. Qian described. He only made movies for money and for status in the industry.
However, Lin Yu was genuinely moved by this selfless national hero today. He knew that Qian Lao was truly devoted to the country without seeking anything in return, while he himself was merely upholding the basic principles of being a Chinese. The difference in their ideological awareness was like heaven and earth.
"You're really making me so ashamed, Mr. Qian," Lin Yu said with a face full of shame.
Looking at Lin Yu's ashamed face, Old Qian admired him even more. "Young man," he said, "whatever you think, what you've done is truly beneficial to the country, so—keep going, and never give up!"
"Thank you, Mr. Qian. I will always remember your words." Lin Yu bowed to Mr. Qian and said solemnly, "Haha—cough cough, good, good!"
"Old Qian?" Lin Yu's heart clenched slightly as he looked at Old Qian, who had started coughing. "Luo Jin, go quickly—"
"No need, I'm fine. Speaking of which, you came here today because you want to make a movie based on me, right?" Old Qian interrupted Lin Yu. "Yes, Old Qian, I hope you'll agree. Trust me, I will do my best to make this movie. This is the script I wrote; you can take a look first." Lin Yu presented the script with both hands, assuring Old Qian with a worried look in his eyes, "Hehe—okay, I agree, I trust you. But—don't exaggerate too much; I'm just an ordinary person." Old Qian glanced at the script and then laughed, "No, Old Qian, you are truly a peerless sage!"
"Heh—a peerless hero? You should give that title to those soldiers who have given everything for the country! Not to me."
"In my heart, you are just like those soldiers, a true national hero."
Looking at Lin Yu, whose eyes were beginning to redden, Old Qian did not deny it any further. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Although I don't understand much about the entertainment industry, I do understand that it is a place that spreads culture and can influence the next generation. Lin Yu, the poor should cultivate their own virtue, while the rich should help the world. You have the power and talent to influence others, so—never waste your abilities."
"Well—that's all for now. Don't think I'm being long-winded. I'll keep the script. If you need anything else, I'll talk to my children, and you can ask them anytime."
Lin Yu bowed to Mr. Qian again, "Thank you. I will always remember your wise words."
After visiting Mr. Qian, Lin Yu parted ways with Luo Jin and returned home. He lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling, and fell into a long silence.
"In my past life, and in this life, I've always strived for myself, never imagining that one day I could contribute to my country. But now—I think I've found my direction in life!"
The next day, after getting up and getting ready, Lin Yu was planning to go straight to the company, but before he could even leave his house, his mother dragged him back for breakfast.
When Lin Yu arrived at the company, he immediately began arranging the pre-production work for the film "Qian Xuesen".
"Senior, you're making a new movie again?"
Ms. Liu, who had nothing to do at home, came to work early today, mainly to ask Lin Yu if he had any ideas for their next trip. But as soon as Ms. Liu arrived, she saw that Lin Yu was preparing for his new movie again.
"Well, I'm sorry, Sisi, the trip—it might have to be postponed. I need to finish filming this movie first," Lin Yu said, looking at Miss Liu with some embarrassment.
Ms. Liu frowned slightly at first, then smiled again. "It's alright, senior, your work is important. We can always find time to go next time! What are you going to film this time?" Ms. Liu asked curiously, "Qian Xuesen, the old man."
"A biographical film? Like the one directed by Chen Kaige?"
"Hmm, more or less!"
"So—can I act? Are there any roles suitable for me?" Miss Liu asked with some anticipation.
Lin Yu listened to Miss Liu's words and scratched his head with some difficulty. "Let's forget about it this time! Qianqian, there are basically no heavyweight female roles, and those roles that only involve showing your face are not suitable for you to play, so—let's forget about it this time."
Hearing Lin Yu's words, Liu Yifei felt a pang of disappointment. "Alright then, it seems I'll be idle for the time being."
"Free? You must have plenty of endorsement and appearance offers, right? How come you're free?" Lin Yu asked, puzzled.
"I don't want to go, senior. Didn't you tell me to support domestic brands more? I've been listening to you, and now almost all the endorsements I've taken are for domestic brands. But—you know my mom, she won't let me take any too young—hehe, so I'm pretty free right now." Miss Liu tugged at a strand of her hair and said with a grin, "Oh, okay then. How about—you find an acting teacher and study hard for a while? Consider it a break." Lin Yu thought for a moment and said, "Sure—"
