Since finding actors was proving difficult, Peak decided to hold auditions to recruit new talent. This decision somewhat displeased Deng Cong, as he was reluctant to jeopardize his prestigious reputation. However, after hearing that the actors recommended to Shi Lan had all found excuses to decline, his mindset underwent a drastic transformation. Since they had refused, he couldn't very well keep pushing where he wasn't wanted.

"If it were me, I would trust her. Has she been just coasting along? Moreover, if she really wanted to find actors with great dramatic skills, there were many artists in Huahai she could have chosen from. Why would she bother with all this effort? I think she wants to create a completely new cinematic world."
