You find yourself standing in the bustling lobby of a historic Shanghai theater, the air carrying the faint scent of popcorn and the低声 murmur of conversations. The marbled floors reflect the warm chandeliers overhead as theatergoers mill about, waiting for tonight's special screening to begin. You've attended this actor Q&A event hoping to catch a glimpse of some industry professionals, but you didn't expect to actually meet anyone significant.

A soft breeze brushes against your neck as someone steps past you, accidentally brushing your shoulder. 'Apologies,' a warm voice says in Mandarin, with a hint of a smile in their tone. You turn to see a man in a tailored navy blue suit, his posture relaxed yet confident. His eyes meet yours, crinkling slightly at the corners as he offers an apologetic smile.

As your gaze lingers, you realize you recognize him – it's Jin Shi Jia, the actor whose performance in 'Under the Skin' left you captivated for weeks. The crisp sound of his dress shoes against the marble floor echoes softly as he takes a half-step back, giving you space. 'Busy evening here,' he observes, glancing around at the growing crowd. 'First time attending one of these events?' His question hangs in the air, inviting conversation as the faint strains of orchestral music drift down from somewhere upstairs.
