My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1376 Back to the Four
Assistant Director Xu stood to one side.

After watching Song Wen's performance, he was completely dumbfounded. He never expected that this guy, who was over forty and had accomplished nothing, would actually have such good acting skills.

Judging from this performance alone...

This guy didn't just drift along aimlessly and end up as an old man; he actually has real skills.

"how do you say!?"

Zhang You looked at Assistant Director Xu.

"I……"

Assistant Director Xu was speechless for a moment.

"I'll talk to Director Zheng later and have you removed from your position as assistant director."

Zhang You spoke seriously, "In the entertainment industry, it's common to flatter the powerful and belittle the weak, and to judge people by their appearance. After all, only a few can truly succeed. But after saying so many hurtful things, you didn't even give him a chance to audition. That's a big problem."

Assistant Director Xu's lips curled into a bitter smile.

He had a premonition earlier, but Mr. Zhang's direct statement shattered his illusions.

After saying that, Zhang You picked up a pen and made a mark on the document. Then he looked up at Song Wen, who had sat down again, and said, "The role of Prince Dun is yours. Someone will send you the script in the next couple of days."

Thank you, Mr. Zhang.

Song Wen quickly stood up and thanked him.

Just as he turned to leave, he paused, hesitated slightly, and suddenly asked, "Mr. Zhang, may I ask you a question?"

"you say"

Zhang You replied.

"Do you think I, at my age, still have a chance to succeed?!"

Song Wen asked nervously.

"Have we been hit a little too many times?!"

Zhang You smiled and asked a question in return. Seeing Song Wen nod twice in response, Zhang You said seriously, "To be honest, your acting skills are indeed very good. Your looks... are rather ordinary, but not that ugly. Your biggest problem is that you're too reserved. To make it in the entertainment industry, you have to be thick-skinned. Why not use your connections? Don't wait for your classmates to remember you; you should take the initiative. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. If someone helps you, you can repay the favor when they need your help. If you waste any more time... your time is really running out. You're forty-four this year, and you have six years left. If you still can't become famous, your hopes will become even slimmer. Even the most promising male actors have an age limit; once you're too old... there really won't be any more opportunities."

Since this Song Wen asked me.

Zhang You also minded offering a few words of advice, but he believed that his advice would be of no use at all.

If he could be persuaded in just a few words, he wouldn't have remained the same after all these years. Honest people can be as stubborn as turtles when they get stubborn; they can only be described as incorrigible.

However, this situation is quite normal.

No matter what circle you're in, some people rise, some fall, and some stay in the same place.

Everyone says that fate, luck, and feng shui are the three most important factors... But what exactly is fate?

It's actually a person's personality.

If you don't change your personality, your destiny won't change; you'll just repeat yesterday day after day. Only by changing your personality will you have opportunities.

"I've got it."

Song Wen nodded in response.

"The snow outside is getting heavy. If you're driving, it's fine, but if you're cycling, remember to go slowly."

Zhang You spoke.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang." Song Wen bowed to Zhang You as he left.

This was the biggest and most amiable person he had ever met, unlike some other actors who, once they gained a little fame, became arrogant and haughty. Perhaps, as many people say, the bigger the person, the more polite they are, while those who are neither big nor small are the most arrogant.

Just as Mr. Zhang had said, the snow outside had indeed become quite heavy.

It should have already changed from moderate snow to heavy snow.

Even now, Song Wen is still a bit confused. He was inexplicably insulted by the assistant director of "The Legend of the Imperial Harem," and just then, Mr. Zhang came over, and he successfully auditioned and got a good role.

Snowflakes fell on him, and after being exposed to the cold wind for a while, Song Wen felt much more awake. Seeing his electric scooter lying on the ground, Song Wen went over to help it up. He didn't know whether it was blown by the wind or hit by someone.

If he hadn't met Mr. Zhang, he would definitely have been frustrated or even saddened by being humiliated by the assistant director and having his electric scooter overturned on the edge of the road, but now... he couldn't even think of that.

As for Mr. Zhang not keeping his word, Song Wen did not think so.

There's no need to lie to such an important person. If you really don't want to use him, you can just say so to his face. Since you've agreed to use him, there's no problem at all.

After putting on his helmet, Song Wengang picked up his raincoat, only to find it was no longer usable because the inside of the electric scooter was completely soaked after it fell over. He wrapped the raincoat around a plastic bag he took out from the small hole in the front of the scooter where he kept his belongings, stuffed it inside, and then headed towards his rented room against the wind and snow.

The electric scooter hadn't gone very far.

His phone suddenly rang, and Song Wen stopped his electric scooter and took it out to look.

immediately.

As a few snowflakes hit his face, Song Wen stared blankly at his phone because his chat account had a new friend request with four words appearing in the nickname field.

"I am Zhang You"

These four people made him feel like he couldn't even imagine it.

Mr. Zhang actually added him as a friend. A speeding car did not slow down when it passed by him, splashing some water on his legs. He only woke up completely when he felt the coldness on his legs.

After biting the glove, he wiped the static off the screen with his hand, quickly tapped "agree," and then a message appeared on his phone.

"I should have two idol dramas starting filming in the second half of the year, and I'll reserve roles like 'father' for you."

The message following this.

Another message followed immediately, saying, "Keep going, you can do it!"

After reading the message, Song Wen replied, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang." After waiting a moment and seeing that Mr. Zhang had not sent any more messages, Song Wen wiped his eyes and rode his electric scooter back to his rented room.

Put the phone in your pocket.

When the chairman of Xiaowan Entertainment personally came down to invite him for tea, Zhang You went to his office and chatted with him while waiting for Director Zheng to arrive.

It was nothing more than a few words of encouragement to Song Wen.

On one hand, Zhang You felt some sympathy for this guy, and on the other hand, the guy's acting skills were indeed very good. If it weren't for the latter, Zhang You wouldn't have taken the initiative to add him even if he felt sorry for him.

But it's different if you have good acting skills.

Anyway, TV dramas need to find actors to play roles like fathers. Since we need to find actors anyway, we might as well let him play the role. Even if we have to pay him, it won't be much. It's practically a zero-cost investment.

If this guy really becomes famous in the future, then he will be a valuable resource for Zhang You. In particular, Zhang You believes that Song Wen will remember his actions today for the rest of his life.

Adding icing on the cake in the entertainment industry doesn't mean much.

Ideally, it should be a timely act of kindness that doesn't require much investment.
