My wife is in my arms

Chapter 810 Discussion 2
at dusk.

A gentle breeze swept through the city as the car stopped in front of the bookstore. Han Wei, dressed in casual pants, opened the car door, picked up a mask, put it on, and walked into the bookstore.

The post-production work on "Ta'ya" is progressing smoothly.

As for the scenes that troubled her recently, Han Wei has decided to reduce some of the shots due to several considerations.

After making this decision, she was prepared for the failure of the "Ta'ya" project. No matter how well she did in her career, nothing was more important than the child in her womb who cared about her as a mother.

Since the project is not meeting expectations, the company will definitely have her continue filming TV series to recoup costs.

As for what to film, the company won't interfere; she'll still have to make the decision herself. That's why Han Wei recently passed by a bookstore and, on a whim, decided to buy a few novels to see if they could be adapted.

Stepping into the bookstore, rows of shelves are filled with books, and people are sitting on several benches, browsing through books.

Han Hui naturally walked to the best-selling novels section, picked out a book, and stood there flipping through it.

There are many restrictions on adapting best-selling books into TV series.

First, we must consider the audience's acceptance and whether the art form is used to guide the correct values. Like a novel that goes down a dead end, even if it is filmed, it will never be broadcast.

As for movies... Han Wei thought that after the failure of "Ta Ya", she would invest in and make a movie herself, but there was a real problem in front of her, which was that she could not find a high-quality script. However, these things were not in a hurry.

She just came to check things out today. After all, even if "Ta Ya" is a flop, she has to wait until the baby is born before she can think about work.

The afterglow of the setting sun streamed in, casting dappled light on the small area in front of the bookstore.

The temperature in mid-to-late April was just right, and the quiet bookstore was occasionally filled with the soft sounds of turning pages and deliberately slowed footsteps. Han Wei really liked this atmosphere.

It gave her the feeling of being back in the university library.

After translating only a few pages, Han Wei put the novel back in its original place.

It's completely unsuitable for a TV series. It tells the story of a woman who travels back to ancient times. This kind of "rebirth" theme is easy to make the audience lose immersion when it's put into a TV series or movie. As for Zhang You's script for "Goodbye Mr. Loser", she had also heard about it.

The story is about traveling back to one's school days. Han Wei didn't comment on it, but from a director's perspective, such a pretentious and unrealistic script is indeed unlikely to achieve good results.

Unless Zhang You can come up with something new, but it seems the investment isn't high, so it doesn't really matter. Anyway, that guy is good at making money; the money he earned from just two songs is something even she envies.

Besides, no matter how big the investment, even if she loses everything, as long as this guy doesn't divorce her, she won't care. It's just a Chinese medicine prescription; she can just brew it. Who cares what the herbs think?

Han Wei pulled out another novel and started reading it again. This one didn't have the "rebirth" setting; it was a science fiction story. After only a few pages, Han Wei put it back down. The main reason was that she had never filmed this kind of subject matter before, and the investment was quite large; it would cost at least four or five hundred million to make.

With such a large investment, the box office needs to exceed 1.2 billion to make money. In recent years, it has been rare for a movie to break 1 billion in total box office, let alone a project that only starts to make money after 1.2 billion.

As a director, having ideas and ambitions alone is not enough; you also have to make judgments based on the actual situation.

Even if she were willing to film, the company wouldn't agree. Given the current environment, there are fewer movies with a budget of one billion yuan. The film market is not as booming as it was a few years ago.

It's not the audience's fault.

The main reason is that audiences have been fed up with one bad movie after another. They would rather watch highly rated movies from other countries at home on their phones than go to the cinema and be ripped off. And some movies, let alone the content, even the promotional material is not good.

After pulling out two more books, Han Wei knew that her trip today had been in vain. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, a figure suddenly caught her attention.

Han Wei's eyes flickered slightly, a look of uncertainty in them. Without much hesitation, she quietly walked a little further into the bookstore, and sure enough, she saw that figure again.

At this moment, he, also wearing a mask, is standing next to a shelf categorized by music books, browsing through them.

He was dressed casually, in a dark gray short-sleeved shirt and black casual pants, but even this casual outfit looked sophisticated on him.

His gaze was deep and focused.

Han Wei was all too familiar with that gaze, because she had dreamt of it more than once, and it was also the only way she could tell whether this guy was Zhang You or Li Zongsheng.

Especially... she had never seen Zhang You wear that dark gray T-shirt before, and her hairstyle. Zhang You's hairstyle on "Special Voice" last time was not this slicked-back style, but rather just casually hanging down on her head, which was neither ugly nor good-looking.

So all these characteristics tell Han Wei one thing: she has met Li Zongsheng again, and this time it is after her brother got her pregnant.

For an instant.

Han Wei felt ashamed, embarrassed, and a little flustered. She really didn't expect to run into Li Zongsheng at the bookstore today, which proved that he had never left the city, but had just not appeared in her sight.

But due to some uncertainty, Han Wei subconsciously reached out to cover her lower abdomen... It seemed that only in this way could she reduce her shame a little, and she secretly looked at his feet.

During the filming of "Ta Ya", Han Wei saw the socks that Zhang You wore. For several days in a row, he wore the kind of socks that didn't look like they were worn by a normal man. They were all patterned socks.

It was either blue, yellow, or at the very least, a patchwork of several colors. As he made a squatting motion to pull out a book, Han Wei saw... sure enough, it was black socks that Zhang You had never worn.

To verify this again.

Han Wei moved to a corner, took out her phone, and dialed Zhang You's number. The phone rang for a long time without being answered. Then she peeked out to observe the figure's reaction. After watching, Han Wei was completely certain.

It really is Jonathan Lee.

Once this realization became clear, Han Wei took several deep breaths, then looked down at her lower abdomen, and a hint of pain appeared in her eyes.

She's already gotten pregnant by Zhang You, so why would she let her younger brother take the fall?!
After finding the books he needed, Zhang You took them and went to pay. Only after his figure disappeared into the bookstore did Han Wei come out. As the sun began to set, she stood at the bookstore entrance, looking up at the city bathed in a golden glow.

I felt both helpless and unwilling.

There was also a bitter taste mixed in with it.

Often, a simple missed opportunity can lead to lifelong regret.

The key point is that her missed opportunity wasn't entirely her fault, but rather because Zhang You refused to tell her, which ultimately led to this outcome.

"never mind"

Han Wei murmured something.

She's already gotten Zhang You pregnant, what other options do she have? Even if she went over now, let alone whether Li Zongsheng would be willing, even if he were... she wouldn't dare let him touch her.

I can't just abort this baby for the sake of my love!
What if Jonathan Lee doesn't have the talent of his older brother, Chang Yu?

What will she do then?!
