My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1311 Special Agent Two

Chen Mei's words were already quite tactful.

She was also deliberately reminding Chen Anxi that, compared to her former daughter-in-law, Chen Anxi was indeed more educated and a university teacher, but she was still a bit short-sighted.

This also reflects the limitations of one's perspective.

He always judges others from his own perspective, not realizing that... let alone one million, even two million, Yuan Hong wouldn't have wasted his money; the other party would have directly asked him to act in the film.

Putting aside how much of an obstacle this film will pose to her son's career, she certainly won't let him suffer a loss in terms of salary alone. So, for some people, the amount of social interaction is not a concern, but rather the lack of interaction altogether.

After all, what's paid out now will eventually have to be returned. And since she paid out two million as a meeting gift, when her son and Chen Anxi have their second child, they will return it. So there's no question of her losing out or gaining an advantage.

"Mom, how much does Yuan Hong spend on gifts in a year?!"

This matter.

Chen Anxi really didn't know.

She did remember that Yuan Hong bought a lot of gifts for the Mid-Autumn Festival and sent them to many families, but she forgot to ask the exact number at the time.

I didn't think it would be too much, so I didn't take it seriously. But now that I've heard my mother-in-law say it seems like it's quite a lot.

"A few million!"

Chen Mei uttered a number that left Chen Anxi stunned for a long time.

Seeing Chen Anxi's expression, Chen Mei smiled and said, "Don't think it's too much. These are all necessary social interactions. Yuan Hong has to give gifts to some directors, and he also has to give gifts to producers and company executives. It's a good thing if they accept the gifts. Even if they don't necessarily need to use him, they'll remember him when a suitable role comes along."

"Much of it is unnecessary."

Chen Anxi suddenly blurted out this sentence.

"really"

Chen Mei didn't refute, but smiled and nodded, saying, "Many people who accepted gifts haven't asked him to act in their films for years, but others still do. However, when it comes to giving gifts... if you give them, people might not remember him; if you don't, they definitely won't remember him. But in recent years, after Yuan Hong gained fame in the entertainment industry, many directors who had previously maintained relationships with him have asked him to act in their films. It's actually like an investment; you invest first, and even if there's no immediate return, once there is, you can recoup all your initial investment with interest."

talking.

Chen Mei said with a proud tone, "It's also because Yuan Hong is capable. He's a good actor and dedicated, so more and more people are asking him to act. He even won an award last year. So An Xi... you must never say things like that again. It's only because Zhang You didn't hear it. If he had, what do you think he would think?! He kindly gave your daughter a million as a gift, and you said he wanted to take advantage of her because he has two sons. To put it bluntly, a million is a huge sum for ordinary people, but for him, it's like you giving him ten dollars."

Because Chen Anxi gave birth to a daughter for her husband Yuan Hong.

In addition, Chen Anxi was someone Chen Mei had desperately arranged for her son to contact her after they went on a blind date, so Chen Mei couldn't help but be more patient when offering advice.

Also, encourage her to broaden her horizons a bit, and stop focusing solely on that million.

One million wouldn't be a large sum for her family, let alone for someone else.

Because their son works in the entertainment industry, and because they had met this Zhang You more than once or twice, they couldn't help but pay more attention to him.

Like a few days ago, there was something about the production rights of "The Voice of China," which she also saw. It seems that it was sold for a lot of money. Anyway, Zhang You's assets are extremely high now, reportedly worth billions.

"But I always felt this person was very calculating."

Even though she realized that she might be overthinking things, Chen Anxi still said it.

"Among those worth billions, how many are truly ordinary?"

Chen Mei replied with a smile, "Don't be fooled by how friendly they are with my Yuan Hong. They might be a completely different person with others. When my Yuan Hong is on set, he has to listen to the director, and the director has to listen to him. That's the class division."

Noticing that the little one in the stroller had woken up, Chen Mei stopped talking to Chen Anxi. Apart from being a bit naive, her daughter-in-law was highly educated and would understand after a little thought. She was just temporarily stuck in the mindset of an ordinary family.

Chen Mei carefully picked up the little one, and the more she looked at him, the more she liked him.

A cold wind howled outside the window.

On the street, fallen leaves were swept far away by the cold wind in the night. On his way home, Zhang You found Chen Ziming's number and dialed it.

"Why would a capitalist think to call me?!"

As soon as the call connected, Chen Ziming's laughter came through. Before Zhang You could speak, she laughed and said, "You're something else! You got Bai Xiaoxiao into Tianyu Entertainment's business department again, and you even made Zhong Xia continue practicing at Tianyu Entertainment's training class. Are you really planning to make Bai Xiaoxiao Zhong Xia's manager?!"

"I have this idea."

Zhang You didn't hide anything, saying, "But it depends on her own actions. She's a very smart girl, and she gets along well with Zhong Xia."

The important part comes later.

Even if Zhang You were incredibly clever, he wouldn't have considered it if there were no follow-up.

"Speak! I know you only come to me when you need something. If you didn't have something to say, you definitely wouldn't be here."

Chen Ziming spoke up.

"I just wanted to ask if your connections are good enough for script review! If so, could you do me a favor? After the New Year, I'll be sending out a script for a show I'm co-investing in with Tianyu Entertainment called 'The Spy,' for review. If you could help me with that..."

Before Zhang You could even offer his terms, Chen Ziming had already eagerly stated his conditions: "Write me a song, the quality of which can't be worse than 'A Diao'."

"Inviting you to sing the theme song"

Zhang You said with a smile.

Actually, as the boss of Tianyu Entertainment, Bao'er should have no problem handling this, but Zhang You still wanted to add an extra layer of insurance, otherwise... passing the censorship wouldn't be a problem, but they would be required to cut some scenes.

Even though he didn't write about what happened here, some people like to make a big deal out of nothing. Even if the plot is fine, they will still point out problems in order to show off their status.

"A word is settled"

Chen Ziming immediately agreed.

"Then I'll leave this to you."

Zhang You replied with a smile.

The project was all set to start filming, but it hadn't even been submitted for review yet. Only he could do something like that. The main reason is that the "Agent" project hadn't been prepared yet, and there was still time for everything.

After ending the call with Chen Ziming, Zhang You couldn't help but laugh. He hadn't expected this woman's request to be so simple; he had thought she would ask to participate in the investment! This was something Zhang You could only consider.

If a film can't pass censorship and needs to be filmed normally without cuts, the only option is to bring in a young master or lady. This is something many entertainment companies on Earth often do to ensure the filming of a movie proceeds smoothly.

Big problems can be turned into small ones.

It's because the other party has energy.

Small things can escalate into big things because this person is ignorant.

Zhang You is very sensible, but he doesn't want to understand this matter until he encounters a problem.
