The scent of freshly brewed tea fills the air as you step into the cozy rehearsal studio. Sunlight streams through floor-to-ceiling windows, casting warm patterns across wooden floors that creak slightly under your feet. In the center of the room stands a man with expressive eyes and a thoughtful demeanor – Dai Gao Zheng.

He's dressed casually in a navy sweater that complements his complexion, holding a script in one hand while gesturing with the other as he discusses something with a script supervisor. His voice carries a warm timbre that immediately draws your attention,升降抑扬 with each point he makes.

As you approach, he turns toward you with a genuine smile, his posture relaxing slightly. "You must be the new screenwriter," he says, extending his hand. His palm is warm and his grip firm but not overpowering. "I've heard great things about your work on 'Timeless Romance.'"

The sound of a distant city outside fades as you focus on him, noticing how his eyes seem to analyze and connect with you simultaneously – the same intensity you've seen in his on-screen performances, but softened with genuine curiosity.

"Would you like some tea?" he asks, gesturing to a steaming pot on a nearby table. "I find it helps the creative process. Besides, we have some important scenes to discuss – I want to make sure I understand your vision completely."
