My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1260 Winter Vacation Part 2

"Mr. Zhang, you saw it."

Jiang Yiren looked at her husband.

"Since they're asking, just give them a couple of light taps as a token gesture."

Zhang You replied with a smile.

The fact that Xiao Zishan made such a request proves that she has realized that she did not do well on the exam this time. It is also possible that she is worried that her mother will trip her up when she takes her to record a song the day after tomorrow. So, in order not to delay her singing career, she is making a sacrifice in advance.

Jiang Yiren didn't hold back at all, raising her hand and slapping Xiao Zishan's butt twice hard. She was probably angry, so she hit her hard, and Xiao Zishan didn't make a sound.

Just as Jiang Yiren was about to strike again, Li Ran spoke up, "Master's wife, my master will only let you hit him twice."

Jiang Yiren's hand froze in mid-air. Seeing her husband staring at her, she reluctantly lowered her hand, said, "Don't expect me to go to the parent-teacher meeting tomorrow afternoon. I can't afford to lose face like that," and went back to her room.

"You don't need to go; your daughter has already invited Li Xin."

Zhang You replied.

Reaching out, Zhang You pulled Xiao Zishan, who was still lying on the sofa, to his side. Seeing that the girl wasn't crying, Zhang You felt relieved. The end of the final exams meant that even if the two girls went to school tomorrow, they wouldn't have to attend classes.

In the morning, the teacher simply goes over the exam papers for today's final exam, then cleans the classroom, and after the parents have finished their parent-teacher meeting, the desks and chairs are put back in place before school ends.

Zhang You brewed a cup of tea, then carried it into the study.

Zhang You recently finished writing the script for the movie "The Spy". He is still working with the company, and the investment amount is still the same as that for "Crazy Stone". Zhang You owns two-thirds and Tianyu Entertainment owns one-third.

Zhang You originally wanted to take a larger share, but later... on the one hand, there was his relationship with Bao'er, and on the other hand, he wasn't very confident about the film, not because the film's quality was problematic.

The movie "On Earth" is quite popular, with a Douban rating of around nine points, making it a highly rated film.

The key issue is that the plot involves events that take place in Hancheng, and unlike "The Truman Show," it cannot be filmed without any political implications.

So, he gave up a third of the film, and Bao'er agreed to help him talk to the higher-ups. Anyway, remaking a movie with strong political themes is the most troublesome thing.

Who knows, after it's made, some viewers might ask why we're making a film about this kind of subject matter? Is there not enough subject matter in our own country for us to make?
If we really want to change it... Zhang You could change it too. He could just change it to two factions. Anyway, there's a angle to approach it. Then, one side leaves with the other, and they meet again many years later. That could bring the plot back on track.

The worst-case scenario is that it won't even pass the review.

It was only at that time that Zhang You thought of it; otherwise, he certainly wouldn't have written it. Since he was still working with director Chen Binglin on "The Spy," Zhang You had to write a script for director Han Wei.

If he hadn't agreed, that would have been fine, but since he had, it wouldn't be good to stand him up, especially since Director Han Dong was helping him film "The Vanished She".

Sitting in the chair, Zhang You picked up his water glass and took a sip. Then he sat in the swivel chair and started spinning around. He didn't know what kind of romance film he should write for director Han Wei.

When it comes to romance films, "Titanic" is undoubtedly number one. Before its release, no film had ever combined commercial appeal and art so perfectly, and also blended love and disaster together. But look at directors Zhang Youchao and Han Wei... they couldn't have made it either.

It can be ground slowly.

But as a director, she can spend years working on a good movie, while Zhang You can't keep up. The production cost was 250 million US dollars, and now it would be even higher, at least 500 to 600 million US dollars. The production cost alone could bankrupt him and Tianyu Entertainment.

If the film flops due to cultural incompatibility, he'll be left standing on the rooftop with Lin Bao'er. Therefore, Zhang You simply can't afford to take on this project, nor is it worthwhile. Even if there were no risk whatsoever, Zhang You wouldn't write it, if we disregard foreign films and only consider romance films within the Chinese-language film industry.

It seems that "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella" is also a romance film, but even if people understand it now, they can't find suitable actors to play the role. Stephen Chow's movies have been remade many times, but apart from him starring in them, every remake is a failure.

"Write what!?"

After spinning around twice more, Zhang You stopped and couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.

immediately.

Zhang You recalled a movie called "If Love Has a Destiny," which he remembered as a classic tearjerker that didn't cost too much to produce.

Now that he remembered, Zhang You didn't hesitate much and started typing on the keyboard. Xiao Zishan and Li Ran came in. Xiao Zishan picked up her teacup and saw that there was still more than half a cup of tea left. She drank it all in one go and then took the empty teacup to pour Zhang You a cup.

"Dad, I've poured you some tea."

Xiao Zishan said with a smile.

"Thank you"

Zhang You's gaze remained fixed on the laptop screen, not even glancing at Xiao Shan. The girl wasn't angry; instead, she chuckled and said, "Why thank my daughter! As long as you're good to me, I'll definitely be good to you. Brother You, I just talked to Li Ran, and she agreed to let me sing a few more lines. What do you think?"

"Since Li Ran has agreed, you don't need to tell me anymore."

As Zhang You typed on the keyboard, he said, "If there's nothing else, please leave. Please don't disturb my work."

"okay"

Xiao Zishan quickly pulled Li Ran away from the study.

Around 9:30, Xiao Zishan came in again, saw that her father's water glass was empty, picked up the teacup and quickly poured another glass of water and put it on the desk.

Zhang Youcai closed his laptop and stood up from his chair after writing until nearly 11 o'clock. This standing up caused him great pain... His back, which had only been slightly sore in the afternoon, suddenly became very painful.

Zhang You knew this was the aftereffect. He poured out the water in the glass, made a dose of traditional Chinese medicine, drank it, and then took a shower. He had already taken one dose after dinner, and this was the second dose for the night.

However, he did not exceed the limit, because he did not drink any at noon.

After taking a shower, Zhang You saw that Li Ran had already turned off the TV and was walking towards the princess room with Xiao Zishan. He didn't say anything more. He went into the second bedroom, where Jiang Yiren was already asleep, holding her son.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang You quietly turned off the light, closed the door, and went into the bedroom.

His main concern was that his diva would become aroused after waking up, and Zhang You could clearly feel that he was really weak.

He used to take traditional Chinese medicine to nourish himself without any problems, but recently the effects of the medicine have not been able to keep up with his consumption.

Don't know why.

Zhang You is now thinking about going out to work.
