In a bustling corner of the city, Kerry and Su Yu were engrossed in a conversation about pets.
"Yes, I have a lot on my phone!" Kerry responded without hesitation, momentarily unable to think of any other reply to Su Yu's sudden question.
With that, his fingers skillfully glided across the phone screen, quickly unlocking it and handing it to Su Yu, as if presenting a precious treasure.
Su Yu took the phone, her gaze fixed on the screen.
What met her eyes was a photo of a dog, fluffy all over, with round eyes that exuded an endearing charm.
However, its figure was exceptionally round and plump, its chubby appearance resembling a fluffy, spherical ball.
Su Yu secretly thought to herself that it would probably not be suitable to directly cast this dog in a movie.
It must be clarified here that the movie Su Yu envisioned was not the tear-jerking, "depressing" hachi: a dog's tale.
Although that movie was extremely moving in its emotional expression and brought many tears to the audience, from the perspective of an actor's performance, the space was relatively limited.
What Su Yu had in mind was a movie related to the theme of quitting gambling—a street cat named bob.
Of course, in the setting of this movie, the animal the protagonist picks up doesn't necessarily have to be a stray cat; a stray dog would also fit the plot requirements.
This was why Su Yu asked Kerry if he had ever owned a pet.
After all, if Kerry suffered from asthma or allergies to fur, he would not be able to star in this movie.
Fortunately, for now, Kerry seemed to have no such issues, and everything appeared to be moving in a smooth direction.
"Kerry, after you go homecoming this time, adopt a stray cat and raise it for a while to build a good relationship. This will make filming much easier later on," Su Yu said slowly as she returned the phone to Kerry.
Upon hearing this, the people around instantly exchanged bewildered glances, their hearts filled with confusion.
Look, he was shown a photo of his own dog, but then told to go back and play a cat? This operation was truly puzzling.
And it was specifically emphasized that it had to be a stray cat?
Everyone increasingly felt that Su Yu's ideas were profound and elusive.
"Okay! Okay! I'll adopt one when I go homecoming! Are there any specific requirements? Age, color, breed, anything?"
Kerry did not ask much about the script's content but directly inquired about the specific requirements for adopting a stray cat.
In his mind, since Director Su had made such an arrangement, there must be a deeper meaning, and he only needed to cooperate fully.
"The age shouldn't be too young, the breed doesn't matter; the most common type of stray cat will do. The most important thing to note is, absolutely do not let it get too fat! I'll send you the script later, and you'll understand then."
Su Yu emphasized the point of "absolutely do not let it get too fat."
Upon hearing this, Kerry's old face flushed, and the image of his own Labrador, fat as a ball, instantly flashed through his mind, causing him secret embarrassment.
Just then, Olsen, who had been listening quietly, couldn't help but ask, "Su, is there a role I can play? I can make a friendly guest appearance, no pay needed!"
Excitement sparkled in Olsen's bright eyes.
Upon hearing this, Su Yu looked at the radiant "Scarlet Witch" who was at the peak of her beauty.
Given her current state, the role of the female neighbor would be quite suitable if she were to star in the movie.
This role didn't have many scenes, and filming could be completed in a day.
However, the female neighbor in the movie represented the beauty and pure land in many people's hearts, making her highly significant.
Olsen's acting skills were more than sufficient to handle this role, and since she had also offered to make a friendly guest appearance, Su Yu naturally had no reason to refuse.
"No problem! There's a female neighbor role in the movie; the scenes aren't many, but it's crucial. It'll probably take one or two days to film. I'll contact you when the movie officially starts shooting," Su Yu replied with a smile.
His answer filled everyone present with curiosity and anticipation for this yet-to-be-filmed movie. Everyone secretly wondered what unique charm this movie possessed.
Upon returning to the hotel, Kerry received the script for a street cat named bob from Su Yu.
He eagerly opened the script and immersed himself in it.
In the story, the breakdown of his family, like a sudden storm, dealt James a huge blow.
In his pain and confusion, he gradually gave up on himself, unfortunately became addicted to drugs, and eventually became a street performer.
With the careful help of a doctor at the rehabilitation center, James had a shelter from the wind and rain.
Later, he accidentally adopted Bob, a street cat.
From then on, whenever James went out to perform, Bob always followed him like a shadow.
The unique combination of one person and one cat successfully attracted the attention of passersby, and James's financial situation improved as a result.
At the same time, he met Bella, the woman next door, rekindling his desire for life and love, and ultimately successfully quit his drug addiction with tenacious perseverance.
The entire plot seemed simple, but it placed extremely high demands on Kerry's acting skills, full of challenges.
Moreover, the plot in the play where the homeless man earns money by performing and singing on the streets couldn't help but stir a ripple in Kerry's heart.
He wondered if Director Su intended to help him fulfill his wish of becoming a singer through the movie?
Kerry's thoughts were in a whirl, and he didn't know how to feel.
However, he also knew that if such a story of a stray cat and a homeless man saving each other could be successfully brought to the big screen, it would surely warm the hearts of countless viewers after its release.
Moreover, in the process of portraying drug rehabilitation, he would have the opportunity to fully unleash his acting skills, and perhaps even win an actor award with this role, adding a significant chapter to his acting career.
"Director Su's touch is truly extraordinary! This time, it's a sure thing again!"
The more Kerry thought about it, the more excited he became, so thrilled that he found it difficult to sleep all night, with various scenes from the movie's filming constantly appearing in his mind.
Meanwhile, in various corners of the city, there was another group of people who also found it difficult to sleep: the fans and music lovers waiting for Su Yu's second new album to go online.
They were full of anticipation, and time was passing by minute by minute, each second feeling infinitely stretched.
Finally, at midnight on August 25th, Su Yu's new album, "Singing For You," officially went online on major music platforms, like a brilliant star.
All ten songs on this album had already been premiered at the two previous concerts.
However, for those fans and music lovers who were unable to attend the concerts, each song was like an unexplored treasure, full of freshness. Their anticipation had already been pushed to the limit.
Therefore, the moment the album went online, the purchase data exploded like lit fireworks.
Aside from Su Yu, who had collapsed into sleep upon returning homecoming due to exhaustion, overseas lyricists and composers, domestic musicians, and major media outlets both domestically and internationally were all closely monitoring the album's sales.
