Zhen first meets the Boss and Jenny backstage, just before filming begins on the Gangstas in Space movie. It soon becomes apparent that he values fame over talent as he constantly sucks up to the Boss, but shuns Jenny simply because she is not a "name" actress. As filming proceeds, Zhen allows the Boss to get away with all sorts of mistakes and script deviations, but constantly berates and insults Jenny even when she acts and follows the script perfectly. He also has little regard for the actors' safety, and he unexpectedly endangers them several times to make the movie more exciting.
