Fourteen-year-old Lin Shuyu's biggest worry in life is the last math question on the test paper. Until that summer vacation, the nineteen-year-old Guo Min, who was her sister's college directing student, burst into Lin Shuyu's ordinary youth with a star-studded look. Guo Min's eyes are like a viewfinder, able to frame all poetic sentiments. Lin Shuyu was just an inconspicuous junior high school student wearing a school uniform and blending in with the crowd. When she talked about long shots and montages, when her laughter mixed with the daylight on the set, Lin Shuyu tasted inferiority for the first time - there was a galaxy called "talent" between them. Lin Shuyu studied hard to get into her film school, sweating tons of sweat in the practice room of the acting department and practicing thousands of smiles and tears in front of the mirror. All the efforts are just to stand upright in her viewfinder and become a presence that she cannot ignore. Nine years. Lin Shuyu has grown from a girl who blushed when she saw the camera to a cutting-edge actor who can accurately interpret every role. Guo Min's film "The Unsent Letter", which has been in preparation for three years, has launched an open casting call. At the audition, Lin Shuyu faced her astonished gaze and completed the monologue - it was the secret about the age of fourteen that only they knew. On the night when the movie was finalized, Guo Min celebrated Lin Shuyu's birthday. Amid the cheers of the crowd, Lin Shuyu asked softly: "Director Guo, is my performance up to standard?" Guo Ming did not answer, but placed an old clapperboard in Lin Shuyu's hand. Above is the handwriting she wrote nine years ago, and the ink has faded slightly: "Scene 99, Take 1. Role: Shen Zhiwei (her light). Actor: to be determined (waiting for her to grow up)"
