My wife is in my arms

Chapter 410 Work

After Zhang You finished putting on makeup and changing her clothes, she came over.

Han Wei, who was explaining the play to Tang Yanran, turned his head slightly... and was subconsciously stunned for a moment.

He was wearing grey suit pants and a striped double-breasted suit jacket, which made him look particularly tough. The glasses on his face added a touch of elegance to his temperament.

For an instant.

Han Wei seemed to see the shadow of that person in Zhang You.

Her breathing became rapid. They looked so similar, almost exactly the same. She originally thought that she could tell who was who based on her understanding of the two people.

But when Zhang You put away his lazy temperament and dressed up seriously, he actually possessed the elegant temperament of Li Zongsheng.

Just noticing Zhang You's playful eyes, Han Wei immediately realized that this guy must be laughing at her, so she reacted and nodded, said "okay", and continued to chat about the play with Tang Yanran.

The time came to eight o'clock.

"The first scene of "Ta Ma" officially started shooting"

Han Wei, who was sitting in the director's chair, shouted on the intercom, "Attention, all departments, action!"

The voice just fell.

The clapperboard with the scene number written on it made a "click" sound, and the filming officially began, with the camera pointing to Zhang You's face.

Han Wei nodded secretly through the monitor.

Last time she was on Director Hu's set, she specifically watched Zhang You's scenes, and she discovered that this guy's handsomeness wasn't just in the superficial sense, but in the movie.

Although handsome, he is still as handsome as ever.

In fact, there is a big difference. Being handsome on screen means looking very handsome, but it seems a little insufficient in the movie, as if it lacks a certain charm.

There are many such male artists in the entertainment industry. They appear extremely handsome in private, but when it comes to filming, they are not even as good as male artists with average looks.

Zhang You is different. Whether in private or through the images transmitted to the monitor by the camera, this guy is handsome with a temperament that is unique to movies.

Standing at the door of the room.

Mr. Zhou, played by Zhang You, stopped, reached out to take out the key, and stopped just as he was about to insert it into the keyhole. The camera swept across his eyes, and saw hesitation flashing in Zhang You's eyes.

After thinking for a moment, he took out a cigarette and lit it... In the smoke, the emotions in his eyes changed again, with more guilt and strangeness... The door opened.

"Why don't you come in when you're at the door?!"

Tang Yanran, dressed in home clothes, opened the door and asked with a smile on her face.

"You can't stand the smell of cigarettes!"

There was a slight pause on Zhang You's face. When he continued to speak, his eyes had returned to normal and he even put out the cigarette in his hand. Tang Yanran asked in confusion, "Didn't you quit smoking?!"

"I... suddenly want to smoke"

Zhang You's hand holding the cigarette in the ashtray paused again. The expression that had been restrained just now suddenly flashed across his eyes again, but he soon returned to normal.

“Bad for your throat”

Song Qiaoer, played by Tang Yanran, replied.

"I see"

Zhang You turned his head and looked at Song Qiaoer, played by Tang Yanran. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end no sound came out.

"What's wrong?!" Tang Yanran looked at Mr. Zhou, played by Zhang You, in confusion. After just a short while, she was surprised to find that this guy's acting was very stable. He didn't look like an actor who had only played a role once. Whether it was micro-expressions or body movements, they were all paving the way for the scene. After asking, Tang Yan smiled and said, "Are you hungry? The meal will be ready soon. Wait a moment, there is one more dish before we start eating."

"click"

Director Han shouted.

Zhang You immediately walked over and asked, "Is there a problem?!"

Zhang You thought that there should be no problem with his performance just now. Although he was not a top actor, the scene was not complicated. Mr. Zhou had done something with his female student and then came back to face his wife.

Scenes like this mainly depend on adjusting micro-expressions.

“It’s not your problem”

Han Wei replied, then said to Tang Yanran who had also come over, "Yanran, before this scene appeared, you had already noticed that your husband had a close relationship with the female student. I need you to express it in this scene and then test Mr. Zhou. The lines don't need to be changed. Let's put it this way! What I want is that I know in my heart, but I won't say it. I need you to say it, Zhang You, the same goes for you."

"..."

Now, Zhang You didn't understand.

What does "I know it in my heart, but I won't say it, I need you to say it" mean?

Zhang You understood the meaning of the words, but he didn't understand the specific content.

Noticing Zhang You's bewilderment, Han Wei explained, "What this means is that Song Qiao'er, played by Tang Yanran, has long been aware of the existence of an ambiguous relationship between her husband and a female student. However, in order to maintain the marriage, she kept it to herself and waited for you to admit your mistake. Do you understand now?"

Without waiting for Zhang You to answer, Han Wei continued, "And you also know that she knows, so when Song Qiaoer was waiting for you to admit your mistake, you waited for her to speak so that you could file for divorce. Can you understand this!?"

"..."

The more Zhang You listened, the more confused he became.

After hearing this, Zhang You realized that Han Wei's request might be of the kind of "I don't understand myself, but I want you to understand me". In his previous life, Zhang You had filmed many movies, but had never worked with a female director.

Now... cooperation is cooperation.

But it is indeed as many actors in the industry have commented... female directors are always vague in their expressions.

Seeing Zhang You's confused expression, Han Wei frowned and explained again, "To put it simply, she knows you know, and you know she knows, and you both know that the other knows. One wants to save the relationship, and the other wants a divorce, but you're both waiting for the other to speak first, and then express your thoughts."

"Don't you understand yet?!"

Han Wei became a little angry when he realized that Zhang You didn't seem to come to his senses yet.

What she expressed was clear enough, but Zhang You's reaction told her, "Not only did I not understand, I was also very confused."

"Just tell me how to act."

Zhang You spoke.

"Zhang You, you are an actor"

Han Wei reminded.

"I know I'm an actor, but you... I don't know what you want..."

As they talked, Zhang You seemed to gradually understand what Director Han meant. The so-called "you know and I know" simply meant that Song Qiaoer knew it, and Mr. Zhou was also aware of this, but he kept pretending to be confused.

As a man who cheated on his wife, the only bit of conscience he had left was that he was too embarrassed to file for divorce first. Instead, he waited for his wife to find out and react first because she couldn't stand it, and then he took the opportunity to file for divorce.

After figuring it out, Zhang You thought for a moment and said, "Director Han, if I follow your request, then I'll have to start all over again. Since I know... and am waiting for his wife to ask for a divorce, this proves that in this scene, Mr. Zhou should no longer feel guilty about Song Qiao'er. He should be eager for a divorce and to be with his female student."
