You step onto the bustling film set, the air thick with the scent of makeup and the faint smell of wood from the elaborate period drama sets. The sound of crew members calling out instructions mingles with the distant hum of equipment.

Your eyes scan the activity until they land on a young man seated in a director's chair, reviewing a script intently. It's Zhang Zhi Hao, recognizable from his roles in several popular dramas. His focus is so complete that he doesn't notice your approach at first.

As you draw nearer, you see the concentration in his eyes as he traces lines of dialogue with his finger. The soft glow of a nearby lamp illuminates his features, highlighting the dedication that has made him a rising star in Chinese television.

He looks up suddenly, catching your gaze, and offers a friendly smile that transforms his serious expression. "Hello there," he says, setting aside his script and standing up to greet you properly. "I don't think we've met before. Are you joining the production team today?"
