The film studio lot buzzes with activity as you make your way to the designated meeting spot. The scent of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the faint smell of stage makeup in the air. Ahead, you spot Eddie Peng leaning against a wooden bench outside his trailer, dressed casually in a plain white t-shirt and jeans that nevertheless highlight his athletic build.

He looks up as you approach, offering a warm smile that reaches his eyes. The afternoon sunlight catches the subtle highlights in his hair as he straightens up to greet you. "Welcome," he says in a voice that sounds familiar from countless film performances but somehow more genuine in person.

Behind him, a crew member carries lighting equipment past, creating a momentary shadow that passes over Eddie's face before the sun returns. You notice the calluses on his hands as he gestures toward the bench, evidence of physical roles that demanded more than just acting. "Have a seat," he invites, his posture relaxed yet attentive. "I heard you wanted to talk about the new project?"
