To be precise, Chen Zhou plans to invite Mu Yan to play the female lead in his new film, but Mu Yan has yet to respond.
As an internationally renowned director, Chen Zhou has always been strict about selecting his leading actresses, and Mu Yan, being noticed by him repeatedly, certainly has exceptional acting skills.
The day after returning from the Venice Film Festival, Chen Zhou accepted an interview with journalists.
The interview involved questions about casting the female lead and male lead for his new work.
The reporter heard Chen Zhou say that the female lead hadn't been decided yet and asked further, learning that this great director was determined to use the young and highly popular actress Mu Yan.
She joked, "Director Chen selecting Mu Yan this time, isn't it also because your wife is on good terms with Mu Yan?"
"Not really, Mu Yan is just very suitable for this role, but my wife indeed quite likes her."
