"You have to believe in yourself."
A line that was so slight and untraceable floated into everyone's ears, Wen Zhuoyu lowered his head, and said softly in pain but relieved: "Your insistence is right."
"It's my fault."
Many things cannot be simply measured by commercial value. For example, the culture and skills passed down from generations, such as the youth and dreams that many people have fought for. Such a simple truth, embroidery students did not understand until today.
Cen Wangnian looked at Wen Zhuoyu in the monitor, and suddenly thought of his father. The fragments that had settled in the depths of his memory surfaced in front of him little by little, and Cen Wangnian's eyes were wet again.
That was what he wanted to say to his father, but he was too timid to say it for so many years.
Chapter 56
When the crew of "Embroidered Life" completed all the framing and shooting in City A, the film starring Gu Xihuai was officially released.

However, this regret is really not worth mentioning in the face of nearly 900 million box office. Director Chen Xusheng, who has always paid attention to word of mouth, did not even make any remarks in the interview with reporters. The entire crew, including director Chen Xusheng, was already happy to start a celebration feast.
