"Ye Chen, your acting was fantastic. You are the only one suitable for the male lead in 'Mermaid.' " Master Ye decided on the spot.
For years, Master Ye has been searching for his successor.
Today, he finally found him — Ye Chen is the successor to the King of Comedy in Master Ye's eyes.
Not only does Ye Chen act well, but he also makes Master Ye feel as if he's opened a window for him.
In recent years, Master Ye has stopped acting and has focused on directing.
However, he has felt like he hit a dead end in the last couple of years.
Several movies he shot flopped.
But today, Ye Chen gave him great inspiration. Indeed, the times have changed. Perhaps the audience no longer likes the old stuff. It's time to change.
As for the movie 'Mermaid,' Master Ye always felt it was missing something but couldn't figure out how to fix it.
Ye Chen gave him a spark of inspiration, providing new insights into the character and even the entire film.
