110: "Hello, Mr. Tree" is going to give Baoqiang a shot at an award!

In the early morning, sunlight streamed into Naza's bedroom.

Chen Le woke up in a daze, saw Naza still fast asleep, and rubbed his forehead.

He then got out of bed.

Just as he got up, Naza woke up as well.

Seeing Chen Le get out of bed, she suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.

No longer feeling sleepy, she got out of bed along with him.

Chen Le did a quick wash-up in the bathroom, and Naza walked in at that moment.

"Naza, I have to go to the office to work today. I'll come back when I have time later," Chen Le said.

Hearing this, Naza nodded. She also had to go to class, so she naturally knew they couldn't stay together all the time.

After saying goodbye to Naza, Chen Le headed straight for the company.

Upon arriving at the company and entering his office, Chen Le picked up the phone and dialed Wang Baoqiang's number.

On the other end of the line, Wang Baoqiang's voice carried a hint of surprise and anticipation: "Boss, why are you looking for me?"

Chen Le smiled, his tone slightly mysterious: "Baoqiang, come to my office for a bit. Let's talk in person."

Before long, Wang Baoqiang arrived at Chen Le's office, looking travel-worn.

Seeing Wang Baoqiang, a smile appeared on Chen Le's face.

"Baoqiang, how has your work been lately? Any big Film Crews looking to collaborate with you?" Chen Le asked with concern.

Hearing this, a proud smile appeared on Wang Baoqiang's face: "Boss, I've been filming commercials recently, and it's been going quite smoothly. And you wouldn't believe it, quite a few big Film Crews have been looking for me lately."

Chen Le nodded inwardly upon hearing this.

He knew that although Wang Baoqiang always seemed to be smiling and appeared naive to the ways of the world...

...he actually cared a lot about the comments from netizens and movie fans saying he "had no acting skills and could only play fools."

As an actor who came from the countryside, Wang Baoqiang had carved out a place for himself in the film and television industry through his own hard work and talent.

But at the same time, he also endured skepticism and pressure from all sides.

Thinking of this, Chen Le decided not to beat around the bush and directly brought out the film he had prepared in his heart long ago: "Hello, Mr. Tree."

This was an art film about the fate of a marginalized person in the countryside. The protagonist, Mr. Tree, was a character with a complex personality and a rich inner world. The entire film depicted the process of this rural youth gradually breaking down amidst family tragedies and real-life hardships.

This was a movie Wang Baoqiang had acted in in his previous life. As long as Wang Baoqiang could grasp this character well, he would surely be able to break external prejudices and prove his acting skills.

It also happened to be a good chance for Wang Baoqiang to aim for an award—winning one either domestically or internationally would work.

After all, Wang Baoqiang was still the pillar of their company, and not having an award to prove his strength seemed a bit shabby.

"Baoqiang, take a look at this script." With that thought, Chen Le picked up the script for "Hello, Mr. Tree" from the desk and handed it to Wang Baoqiang.

Wang Baoqiang took the script, froze for a moment, and then began to flip through it carefully.

As he delved deeper into the plot, his gaze gradually became solemn, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

When he finished reading the entire script, a strong impulse surged in his heart.

He wanted to play this character; he wanted to use this role to prove his acting skills.

"Boss, this script... is fantastic!" Wang Baoqiang looked up excitedly and said to Chen Le, "Is this role for me?"

Wang Baoqiang looked at Chen Le somewhat eagerly.

Seeing this, Chen Le nodded.

"Nonsense. Since I've shown you the script, it's definitely for you to act. After all, you are the pillar of our Morning Star."

"That's great! Boss!" Wang Baoqiang was extremely excited, unable to hide the exhilaration on his face.

Looking at Wang Baoqiang, Chen Le knew that he had been completely captivated by the character.

So, he patted Wang Baoqiang on the shoulder and said, "Good! Then it's settled. Go back and prepare well. Once I've arranged the Film Crew and the shooting schedule here, we'll start filming."

"I prepared this movie specifically for you. It has high requirements for acting. If you can play this role well, winning an award either domestically or abroad will prove your acting skills."

Hearing this, Wang Baoqiang nodded, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.

Time flew by like a white stallion passing a crevice, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

During this week, Chen Le was busy preparing the Film Crew and the shooting schedule for "Hello, Mr. Tree."

Meanwhile, Wang Baoqiang repeatedly studied the script at home, pondering how to play the character of Mr. Tree well, making full preparations for the upcoming shoot.

Finally, on a bright and sunny morning, Chen Le flew with the Film Crew to the filming location of "Hello, Mr. Tree."

The countryside of Northeast China.

This was a quiet and beautiful village, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, like an isolated paradise.

This filming location was the one chosen for the film in his previous life. Chen Le would do his best to recreate the works from his past life.

As soon as the Film Crew arrived at the location, they began to intensely set up the scenes and calibrate the equipment.

Wang Baoqiang, on the other hand, changed into his costume, had his makeup done, and sat quietly to the side, silently building up his emotions.

He knew deep down that this shoot was an extremely important opportunity for him, and he had to give it his all to live up to Chen Le's trust and expectations.

Looking at this place, which was a bit like his hometown but also completely different, Wang Baoqiang was filled with many thoughts.

He slowly immersed himself into the character of Mr. Tree.

Nearby, Chen Le looked at the preparing Wang Baoqiang and nodded, very satisfied.

He planned to finish filming the movie in half a month.

The investment for this film was not high; one could even say it was very low.

Filming this movie wasn't for making money, but for gaining a reputation.

Once this movie was filmed well, Wang Baoqiang would be considered to have joined the ranks of powerhouse actors.

His acting skills and talent were excellent. Although he hadn't been famous for long, under his hard work, his current acting skills were already formidable, no longer inferior to some Film Emperors.

"Baoqiang, are you nervous?" Chen Le looked at Wang Baoqiang and asked with a smile.

"A little," Wang Baoqiang nodded.

He indeed felt the pressure; after all, such a movie was a real test of acting skills.

"It's okay, I believe in you!" Chen Le said with a smile.

Hearing Chen Le's words, Wang Baoqiang nodded, moved.

Soon, filming began.

On the first day of shooting, Wang Baoqiang displayed his extraordinary acting skills.

He completely integrated himself into the character of Mr. Tree; every look and movement was as if he were Mr. Tree himself.

Chen Le looked at Wang Baoqiang through the lens and couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

Baoqiang had now grown into a true actor.

As the filming progressed, Wang Baoqiang also gradually became familiar with the other actors in the Film Crew.

They discussed the plot, shared their insights, and collectively contributed their efforts to the film "Hello, Mr. Tree."

And in this process, Wang Baoqiang continued to learn and grow, his acting skills constantly being tempered and improved.
