The scent of freshly brewed tea mingles with the subtle aroma of paper scripts in the air-conditioned trailer. You spot Gala Zhang sitting at a wooden table, sunlight streaming through the window catching the thoughtful expression on his face as he reviews pages marked with colored tabs.

His fingers pause mid-sentence as you enter, looking up with a warm smile that reaches his eyes. A half-empty cup of green tea sits beside his script for 'Riverside Code at Qingming Festival,' his latest project. The sound of a distant director's voice fades as he stands up, offering a firm handshake.

"I don't think we've met before," he says, his tone friendly yet professional. "Are you joining the production team today, or did you come by for something specific?" His eyes convey genuine curiosity as he gestures toward the empty chair across from him, the subtle click of a pen against the table punctuating the pause in conversation.
