My wife is in my arms

Chapter 558 "Encounter"
I offered a couple more words of advice.

Seeing that he couldn't reason with her, and more importantly, the more he talked, the faster Han Wei walked away, acting as if she wouldn't listen. Zhang You had no choice but to let Cheng Xiyao be asked to leave the set by the staff.

Once back in his chair, Zhang You stopped worrying about it. He also found Cheng Xiyao a bit annoying, and now that she was kicked out of the crew, it was a relief.

The midday sun shone on him, and after sitting for a while, Zhang You felt a little sleepy.

When he first arrived, he would take a nap at noon, but after a while, even if he forced himself to sleep, he couldn't fall asleep anymore. However, after working for a while, he felt like he could fall asleep again.

However, just as he closed his eyes and was on the verge of falling asleep or not, he was woken up by the staff. Zhang You checked the time and it was only past midnight.

Just as Zhang You was about to complain, he suddenly realized that Director Han might have shortened his lunch break because he had to rush to the TV station to record "Special Voice" and wanted to avoid a conflict with his schedule as the male lead.

Having figured this out, Zhang You had nothing more to say.

Around 1:30 PM, his two scenes were finally filmed when Director Han yelled "Cut!" After reviewing the footage with Director Han, it was discovered that no reshoots were needed. Zhang You smiled, cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you."

"I'm giving you face; I hope you'll give me face in the future."

Han Wei replied.

Before Zhang You could answer, she waved her hand and said, "Get lost! Just looking at you makes me angry."

"hehe"

Zhang chuckled twice, not angry at all.

The fact that they finished filming his scenes ahead of time already speaks volumes. In this situation, saying those words means that the woman wasn't as angry as she claimed, but rather wanted him to go about his own business. After Zhang You left, Han Wei began filming the scenes for the supporting actors and extras who had rushed over early in the morning and had been waiting ever since.

This is also the "waiting" process that artists must go through before they become famous.

However, even waiting is paid. Supporting actors are paid according to the amount of lines they have, while extras are paid according to the time they spend.

Compared to the usual stingy film crews, Director Han was quite generous, charging thirty yuan per hour. This is why many people would rush to the casting director to compete for a spot whenever the "Ta Ya" film crew recruited extras, and some even secretly slipped cigarettes to the casting director or took the initiative to treat the casting director to a meal.

Even if they act in it, they might not appear in the officially released movie, but thirty yuan an hour is still very attractive, it's just that the wait can be a bit boring.

A typical film crew might pay a maximum of twenty yuan, while some TV series or short dramas might only pay ten yuan for extras. But those who are willing to take ten yuan an hour, even if they can't earn that every day, to be extras instead of finding other jobs, are not pursuing that simple ten yuan an hourly wage, but rather the opportunity to soar to great heights.

The probability is not high.

However, there are indeed a few such individuals in the entertainment industry.

These few individuals, like a beacon, illuminate the path to dreams for extras.

"Your director... is incredibly arrogant. I'll teach her a lesson she won't forget."

I opened the car door and got in.

Zhang You then heard Cheng Xiyao, who had been sitting in the car since being kicked out of the film crew, arrogantly say this. Zhang You couldn't help but laugh and said, "Just call me when you're about to cut it, so I can watch the show."

"You want to see it? Well, I'm not going to cut it!"

Cheng Xiyao pouted.

"If you're afraid, you're afraid. Don't use me as an excuse."

Zhang You replied.

"Who said I wouldn't dare? I'm only letting her off the hook because I enjoyed watching her last TV series. If it weren't for that, do you think I'd dare to mess with her? She's just a lousy director! Acting like she's something special."

While driving, Cheng Xiyao, seemingly having inherited her mother Han Hui's talents, suddenly asked, "Young friend Zhang, why did she add dishes to your lunch? There must be some secret between you two. Come on, tell me. Don't worry, I'm tight-lipped. What's in my ear will stay in my heart, I promise I won't tell anyone." "You're about to beat her up, how could she not be afraid!?"

Zhang You fastened his seatbelt and casually remarked, "Besides, who are you?! You're the daughter of Agent Han, the big boss. How could a small-time director like her not try to curry favor with you? You have a powerful background and you're capable yourself. If I were her, I might be too scared to sleep tonight. Who knows, she might have just kicked you out of the crew not long ago, and then she'd be apologizing to your mother right away."

Are you mocking me?!

Cheng Xiyao asked.

"You figured that out; looks like you're not stupid after all."

Zhang You laughed.

“Young friend Zhang, only Sister Yiren can put up with someone like you. If it were me…”

Before Cheng Xiyao could finish speaking, Zhang You interrupted her, saying, "No way, that's impossible. I can wake up again... Never mind, there's no point in saying this."

"Young friend Zhang, let me ask you a question. Why didn't you help Sister Yiren before? Of course, this isn't something I wanted to ask, but my mom made me ask it. I'm not much of a curious person, hehe. But if you want to know, I don't mind listening."

Cheng Xiyao smiled.

"I'm warning you, you can talk, but if you keep talking without looking where you're going, I'll talk to your mother tonight and I won't lend her that 20 million. Also, you can forget about being my personal assistant."

Zhang You said in a deep voice.

Compared to stage accidents, many artists also suffer accidents due to car crashes. Unlike these artists who miraculously survive, Zhang You has always felt that his life isn't particularly tough. After all, even a low-probability event like sudden death can happen, so what makes him think he could escape death in a car accident?
Just like a stage accident.

Zhang Youneng has been able to remain safe and sound on Earth for so many years without any incidents after his exposure, all thanks to his cautious nature. Neither he nor his driver ever drives while fatigued, always wears a seatbelt, keeps the speed within a reasonable range, and avoids road rage when encountering vehicles that cut him off.

Except for the last time... and the only time he died suddenly on stage, he lived a good life the rest of the time. However, the first and last time often happened at the same time, like twins.

Are you that afraid of dying!?

Cheng Xiyao asked.

"You'll understand once you've experienced death."

Zhang You replied.

After parking the car in the TV station's garage, Zhang You took Cheng Xiyao by elevator to the backstage area of ​​the recording studio. He greeted the staff with a smile, and then took the cue cards handed to him by the assistant director and carefully opened them.

After several episodes, "Special Voice" achieved impressive ratings, averaging 1.02. With such ratings, it's no surprise that brands are willing to spend money to secure the remaining advertising slots.

Therefore, during this recording, Zhang You, as the program host, had to read out the names of two more brands.

One is alcoholic beverages.

One was a snack brand. Zhang You shoved the teleprompter into his pocket and walked into the lounge. As soon as he entered, he saw the beautiful Zhang.

The woman looked at him with a smile and said, "Zhang You, thanks. I really like the song 'Everywhere You Kiss,' even your wife said I sang it well."

"..."

Zhang You was stunned.

Then he immediately looked at Jiang Yiren, who was sitting on the soft leather sofa.

Under his gaze, Jiang Yiren, who was pretending to chat with Teacher Wang Li, paused, then slowly turned her eyes to look at him, as if observing his reaction.
