My wife is in my arms

Chapter 918 is his fourth

Since that's not the case.

Why would he let his own father direct the script he wrote?!

Han Dong felt that his daughter was acting a little strange tonight, but even if she said no, Han Dong remained firm in his opinion that his daughter was not like girls from wealthy families who dated one boyfriend after another.

I've only talked about one person over the years.

They got married later, but they didn't stay together until the end.

After the divorce, she devoted all her energy to her career; otherwise, it wouldn't be possible for her to direct a TV series every year or two. Zhang You accepted the tea poured by Han Wei's mother with both hands and thanked her.

"No need to thank me, please don't be so polite when you come to my house."

Fan Ruyi looked at Zhang You with a smile and asked, "How is your relationship with your wife?"

"Good"

Zhang You is feeling really bad right now.

As for what was wrong, he couldn't explain why. Apart from Han Wei's change being somewhat traceable, Zhang You's enthusiasm for Han Dong and his wife was completely inexplicable.

Normally.

Given the Han family's background, there's absolutely no need for them to do this.

Zhang You also believed... that this wasn't how her family treated guests. They were unbelievably enthusiastic, giving Zhang You the impression that he was an excellent son-in-law visiting his family, but he wasn't Han Wei's husband.

"That's it!"

Fan Ruyi nodded with some disappointment.

"Let's eat first. After we eat, I'll read your script and then we'll talk."

When the aunt came over and said that dinner was ready, Han Dong got up and invited Zhang You to sit down at the table. Han Dong couldn't drink alcohol, and Zhang You hadn't drunk for a while either, so she didn't want to either. So Zhang You had a simple but very sumptuous dinner at Han Wei's house. After the dinner, Zhang You handed the completed novel "The Vanished Her" to Director Han Dong.

"Xiao Zhang"

While her husband was reviewing the script, Fan Ruyi chatted with Zhang You, saying, "I heard from my Xiaowei that your album sold quite well, right?"

"right"

Zhang You responded.

Han Wei sat next to her father, accompanying him as he read Zhang You's script. Occasionally, she would subconsciously glance at Zhang You, who was chatting with her mother.

Only after certain things became a fait accompli did she belatedly realize that her previous misconceptions about this guy stemmed entirely from her unfamiliarity with him and his refusal of the high salary she initially offered.

This is also the reason why she has always felt that the two are not the same person.

Because if it were really just one person, that would be incredibly foolish. To refuse a 20 million plus 3% of the box office revenue and insist on a 10 million salary, isn't that something only a fool would do?

But now that she knows this idiot is really the person she's been thinking of, Han Wei really wants to ask him what he's really thinking! But even though she thinks he's a bit of an idiot, she's still very happy.

Before, whenever I thought about it, my heart would be filled with conflict, partly because of her feelings and partly because of practical issues. Now, I finally don't have to think about those things anymore. Night slowly unfolded, and in a brief interval, the road, which had been somewhat dim due to the recent darkness, was suddenly illuminated by streetlights, about half an hour later.

Han Dong finally read "The Vanished Her".

He didn't speak directly, but instead asked Zhang You a question: "Did you really write this script?!" Seeing Zhang You nod, Han Dong exclaimed, "That's really impressive!"

Overall, it is indeed one of his best crime drama scripts in recent years. It has a profound core, revealing the dark side of human nature, false characters, and a carefully designed "perfect love".

When one's partner becomes deeply involved, one deceives and manipulates them to achieve one's own goals.

"Dad, is that so nice!?"

Han Wei appeared to be reading the script with her father, but in reality, she only read the beginning and then got lost in her own thoughts, not paying any attention to it. Now, hearing her father say this, she was quite surprised, because her father rarely used the word "amazing" to describe a script.

Han Dong seemed not to hear his daughter's question. He looked at Zhang You and asked, "How do you plan to film this?!"

"If you're willing to take it on, I'll only be responsible for the investment; I won't concern myself with anything else."

Knowing that Director Han Dong had agreed, Zhang You immediately expressed his trust in him and then said, "Regarding the director's fee, I'll give you 20 million plus 5% of the box office revenue..."

Before Zhang You could finish speaking, Han Dong raised his hand to interrupt him, saying seriously, "You misunderstood. I'm asking you whether you choose to operate as a sole proprietor or seek investment!"

Sole proprietorship

Zhang You replied.

"If that's the case, even if my daughter Xiaowei asked me to direct 'The Vanished She,' I wouldn't do it."

Han Dong explained, "Although I haven't made films for many years, I'm still a director at Feitian Entertainment. If I stay at home, the company won't have any objections. But if I come out to make films and don't make films for my own company, especially since the chairman of Feitian Entertainment personally came to invite me to make a film for the company a couple of days ago, and I refused, it's understandable that I insisted on directing 'The Vanished She,' but that's not how things are done. The older you get, the more you have to follow the rules, otherwise people will call you an old codger."

As he spoke, Han Dong laughed and said, "There's also a problem with your sole proprietorship. I shouldn't have said this, but you and my Xiaowei have a very good relationship, and you even worked together on a film. You're practically my junior, so I'll take the liberty of saying a few words. In the entertainment industry, no matter how capable you are, don't choose sole proprietorship. I know you probably think the script for 'The Vanished Her' is very good and unlikely to lose money. As the director, I also think your script is quite good."

Zhang You did not show the slightest impatience.

He listened attentively.

Han Dong picked up his teacup, took a couple of sips of water, and continued, "If you want to develop well, you'd better use benefits to bind some people to your boat. For the boat to sail fast and steadily, you need some big shots on board. Only in this way will the possibility of capsizing be reduced. If you want to borrow me from Feitian Entertainment to film a movie, you have to get Feitian Entertainment on your boat. That way, the company will not only have no objections but will also provide some assistance. Besides Feitian Company, there's also Tianyu Entertainment, which is your management company. You have to get them on your boat no matter what. In the entertainment industry, those who try to monopolize everything never have a good ending. The more they try to take, the more miserable their end will be."

Zhang You understood.

This is about giving up your investment share.

Han Dong's meaning was simple: to jointly invest with two or three entertainment companies, bring them into his camp, and form his own interest group.

When he himself ran into trouble, this interest group spontaneously mobilized its connections and resources to lend him a helping hand.

That's indeed the truth.

But Zhang You knew even better that no one else could be relied on. Once he lost his value, this interest group would abandon him without hesitation for a second, unless he continued to create value for this interest group.
