The charity gala, which lasted for a full five hours, finally came to an end with the group photo session.

Among these celebrities, everyone wanted to stand in the center, but when they got on stage, they all started playing the modesty game in unison. They spent dozens of minutes just arranging their positions. In the end, everyone yielded and pushed two senior figures in the entertainment industry to the center.

Lisa, in situations like this, always positioned herself on the sidelines and never sought the limelight. Even if she stood in the corner today, she couldn't tell her true commercial value within the industry from a diverse group photo.

After all, no matter where she stood, those who disliked her could come up with rumors and gossip. It was better not to waste her thoughts on it.

This year, she stood together with Jungkook in the photo. Standing next to Jungkook was a senior actor, and even on stage, they were discussing movie schedules.

"If you and your wife can collaborate on that film, Old Zhou will definitely be thrilled," the senior actor winked, "Your wife looks really good in a cheongsam."

The "Old Zhou" mentioned by the senior actor was a well-known screenwriter in the country. He started with stage plays and later moved on to the big screen. His scripts never catered to the commercial market and winning awards was very common for him. However, his box office success relied solely on word-of-mouth. Many commercial film directors kept their distance from him, but there was never a shortage of admirers for his refined works. Therefore, he was a screenwriter that many people in the industry wanted to collaborate with.

In recent years, the aesthetic of movie audiences had gradually improved, and there was a trend of driving out the inferior. Old Zhou's reputation finally began to spread and many young viewers became his avid fans. His scripts became highly sought after.

Although the Republic of China script in Old Zhou's hands had not been publicized yet, and the copyright had not been finalized with a film and television company, several actors in the industry who had a good relationship with him already knew some inside information and knew which actors Old Zhou favored.

When Old Zhou saw that Republic of China-themed photo, he said to a few writers who were drinking with him at the time, "These are the images of Ting Feng and Wan Wan in my mind."

He knew Jungkook, but he wasn't familiar with Lisa. He simply thought that this artist's face and temperament matched the characters he had in mind.

However, the selection of actors was not solely Old Zhou's decision. Once funds were injected, various opinions would be taken into account, so nothing is certain yet.

Lisa had not received the script yet and didn't know at which stage it had been intercepted.

Jungkook turned his head to look at Lisa, but her gaze didn't turn towards him. Instead, she was chatting with several other female artists, tilting her head to the side.

Facing the bustling scene with these artists, Lisa was not sure if it was intentional or not, but Zheng Xue, who was originally separated from Lisa by several artists, suddenly stood beside Lisa.

The two female artists looked at each other with disdain. It was Lisa who spoke first in a sarcastic tone, "What? Don't you want to show affection with your husband?"

Zheng Xue remained expressionless, but her shifting gaze undoubtedly searched for Lu Ming.

When she found Lu Ming standing between two female artists, Zheng Xue's expression cracked and quickly darkened.
