Zhang Hongfei said: "Boss Ling, I'm a professional in the film industry. I know what kind of movies can make money, so this movie will undoubtedly be profitable once it's released."

Ling Zhenfei hesitated a little and said: "Alright, if you want to shoot it, go ahead. Just be sure not to tarnish my reputation again."

Zhang Hongfei said: "Once this film airs, I bet your fan base will grow exponentially."

Ling Zhenfei said: "I don't have many demands on it. Alright, do you need investment for the movie? I can invest a bit, no problem."

Zhang Hongfei said: "Of course, I'll handle this film. I'll find someone to write the script. Once it's written, I'll show it to you first, then we'll start shooting."

Ling Zhenfei said: "I'm not starring in it; I don't have the time."

Zhang Hongfei said: "Of course, I know you don't have time. A cameo is meaningless; better to find an actor, though the story is about you, the names in it should be changed a bit."

Ling Zhenfei didn't quite understand this point, and said: "Alright, then you handle it. I'll leave this matter to you."

Zhang Hongfei said: "As long as you cameo for a small role, your fans will surely come to support it."

Ling Zhenfei said: "Just call me ahead of time then."

The more they talked, the more excited they became, even discussing some specifics, prompting Zhang Hongfei to wave his arms around enthusiastically.

By noon, after having lunch, Chu Bingqing and others started calling Ling Zhenfei, and he and Zhang Hongfei headed to the film festival venue together.

It was then that Ling Zhenfei discovered Zhang Hongfei was an invited director, his film "Footsteps of China" had been nominated for Best Documentary.

Actually, the film festival didn't have much to do with Ling Zhenfei. Even if he came, it would be as part of the staff for Chu Bingqing or Li Yuetong and others.

Originally, they needed credentials from Chu Bingqing and others to get in. Now, with Zhang Hongfei, they went straight in.

Considering Ling Zhenfei's current popularity, he should have no problem getting in now.

Zhang Hongfei told Ling Zhenfei that the main event of the film festival was in the evening. In the afternoon there were just a few minor activities.

Led by Zhang Hongfei, they walked around introducing things.

In the past, Zhang Hongfei didn't solely focus on documentaries; he made a variety of films. But this year, "Footsteps of China" suddenly became popular.

So, many people only know about this documentary, and none of his other works, giving people the impression that Zhang Hongfei only makes documentaries.

That afternoon, the event was for the Best Picture selection, but how the other awards were selected was unknown to Ling Zhenfei.

There were five films selected for Best Picture. Ling Zhenfei and Zhang Hongfei were going to see two of them.

Among them was Chu Bingqing's film, which Ling Zhenfei was going to watch.

Not long after sitting down, the film started. Ling Zhenfei sat next to Zhang Hongfei, watching very attentively.

Ling Zhenfei used to love watching movies; now due to his status and schedule, watching a movie has become a luxury.

This time he had the opportunity to enjoy it properly.

The theater was quite large, but the audience wasn't big due to many limitations, so not just anyone could come to watch.

The main judges were in the front rows; people at the back were watchers, just here for the atmosphere, like Ling Zhenfei.

After the film, everyone spontaneously stood up and applauded. The performance was excellent—a rare gem among domestic films.

Chu Bingqing's acting was also spot on; this film received several nominations: Best Actress, Best Picture, Best Director, etc.

Zhang Hongfei was very excited and said to Ling Zhenfei: "It was really good, this film is quite interesting."

Ling Zhenfei asked: "Do you think it'll win an award?"

Zhang Hongfei said: "Probably, but it depends on the other films too. Still, this film is a rare gem."

Zhang Hongfei and Ling Zhenfei chatted, as there was another film screening in half an hour.

The theater lights came on, many people left to use the restroom or left altogether.

Some people recognized Zhang Hongfei and came over to greet him, and acquaintances were also called over to chat.

Many people recognized Ling Zhenfei as well, quickly greeting him.

Now, Ling Zhenfei is definitely a celebrity at home, his name a frequent sight on the trending lists.

Every so often, he's in the spotlight, with great popularity.

Now, due to his cameo role, he's on the trending list. Even if people don't know his appearance, they should at least know the name of Miracle Doctor Ling Zhenfei.

Zhang Hongfei recognized a familiar face, urgently calling them over.

"Jiang Xing, let me introduce you."

Zhang Hongfei said to Ling Zhenfei: "Brother Ling, this is my good buddy named Jiang Xing; he was the screenwriter of that movie just now."

Ling Zhenfei looked at the person in front of him, who seemed to be in his thirties, with large glasses giving a distinctive look.

He had an arrogant and aloof expression, seeming difficult to deal with.

Ling Zhenfei hurriedly said politely: "Hello, Mr. Jiang. The movie just now was excellent, truly impressive."

Zhang Hongfei said to Jiang Xing: "Brother, this is the Ling Zhenfei, Mr. Ling, I've been telling you about. You should know him, right?"

Initially, Jiang Xing showed a bit of disdain, but upon hearing Ling Zhenfei's name, his expression changed immediately.

He asked incredulously: "Are you saying he's Miracle Doctor Ling Zhenfei?"

Zhang Hongfei said: "Yes, that's Miracle Doctor Ling. You know Mr. Ling, don't you?"

Jiang Xing shook hands very politely with Ling Zhenfei and said: "Of course, who wouldn't know? These days, who doesn't know Ling Zhenfei's name?"

Jiang Xing said to Ling Zhenfei: "Mr. Ling, I truly admire you."

Ling Zhenfei was a bit taken aback, unsure what Jiang Xing admired about him.

Ling Zhenfei said: "I'm just an ordinary person, is there really so much to admire?"

Jiang Xing said: "Your Medical Arts, your business acumen, even your way of becoming famous, it's all admirable."

Ling Zhenfei was surprised at Jiang Xing's remarks about such things.

Jiang Xing was quite enthusiastic and said: "Mr. Ling, I've always wanted to meet you, just never had the time. Now meeting you is my fortune."

Ling Zhenfei didn't expect to have such a fan.

Zhang Hongfei said: "Jiang Xing, can you tone it down? Mr. Ling is here for the film festival, you'll have plenty of time, can't you be a bit discreet?"

Jiang Xing said: "I'm just too excited. By the way, Zhang Hongfei, how did you get to know Mr. Ling?"
