"Xiaolin, don’t be anxious," Director Liu said confidently. "I’ve analyzed this script too, and since Alvin is joining us, we definitely can’t follow the old path. So I made some minor adjustments. I borrowed from your original settings: the scientist is mixed-race, so it’s not surprising that the robot has a foreign appearance.

Moreover, love between a robot and a human is inherently unconventional. Making the robot look foreign can somewhat dilute this unconventional love. Additionally, robots themselves symbolize humans’ longing for technology, and a hope for mysterious power. Foreign countries have always been more advanced in this area. So, we can set the robot to have the appearance of a foreign hero, like Superman, or a musician. In this film, the robot actually represents the scientist’s dream.

In this way, I feel the script’s novelty has increased. Also, Alvin has many fans worldwide; we can directly use his identity and set him as the robot. The scientist, because of his admiration for Alvin’s persona in the movie—a musician, dancer, superstar—models the robot after Alvin’s prototype...

Thus, the robot looks exactly like Alvin. Of course, the female lead in the film, which is you, might inherently have some yearning for Alvin in real life."

Nangong Lin: "..."

After hearing this, she felt quite speechless and didn’t know how to refute the director, so she remained silent.

But Zheng Huayu spoke up, "I think these minor adjustments are pretty good. The original plot was quite cliché, and with these tweaks, it feels different now."

Zheng Huayu said with a smile, then turned to look at Nangong Lin and said, "Sister Xiaolin, it was actually my idea for you to play the scientist this time. This scientist in the film can be considered an antagonist, but not simply so. He seems to have many complex elements, and I’m really looking forward to such a challenge."

With Zheng Huayu’s statement, Nangong Lin clearly had no intention to refute further.

Instead, she thought seriously for a moment, then spoke earnestly, "The plot of this script is somewhat cliché, yet quite accessible to the public. However, I think there is very deep meaning behind it, including morals, ethics, humanity, and many things. Whether it’s the scientist in the film, the robot, or the female lead, it’s quite a significant acting challenge, because many deeper elements need to be conveyed and expressed through the actors."

After speaking, Nangong Lin looked at Alvin, raising her brows slightly, "Can you handle it? You’ve never acted before. Do you think you can take on such an important role?"

Nangong Lin was speaking truthfully, not deliberately targeting Alvin. This isn’t merely a romance idol drama; she believes that whoever takes on such a role doesn’t have to be a veteran actor, but at least should be professionally trained, otherwise they simply can’t perform it.

She thought if Alvin really wanted to act, he could perhaps only take on some slightly superficial roles now, like those simple romance dramas.

After hearing Nangong Lin’s words, Alvin also turned to look at her, frowning slightly, as if pondering. After a few seconds of silence, he replied, "I’ve never acted before, but I think I can give it a try. I trust the director, the whole crew, and I trust you."
