Entertainment: The Path to Best Actor for Talented Actors

Zhang Ze has been on film sets for several years and has some understanding of the work of a director; this is a job that most people can't do.

The truth is that the director's job is very complicated. It's not just about filming. The director has to make decisions on everything from project initiation and fundraising to the actors' food, clothing, accommodation, props, costumes, and so on.

"Zhang Ze, are you planning to go out for a walk tonight?" Zhang Zhixi asked.

"No thanks! I'm still jet-lagged, I'll go back to the hotel and rest!" He shook his head.

"Okay, take a break today. When you have some free time, I'll take you out for a stroll. I'll be your director, and I guarantee you'll have a great time!"

Ever since Zhang Zhixi learned a couple of days ago that Zhang Ze was actually a year younger than her, she has often acted like the older sister and has been very enthusiastic about directing him on trips!

It gives you the feeling that you have your sister protecting you abroad, so you don't have to be afraid.

Xu Qing glanced at Zhang Zhixi, then stared intently at Zhang Ze.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you staring at me like that?"

"She wouldn't like you, would she! Zhang Ze, let me tell you, Sister Zeng Lai specifically told me to keep an eye on you. If you dare to mess around outside, I, Xu Qing, will not hesitate to turn against even family members!"

Zhang Ze flicked Xu Qing's forehead with his hand, "Do you think your brother is that kind of person?!"

"Then why is she so attentive to you?" Xu Qing asked, puzzled.

"How would I know? Maybe she's just used to being a student council officer and is always thinking about showing off her value!"

Zhang Ze explained, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. With you, Sister Zeng Lai, no woman in the entertainment industry will catch my eye!"

"Oh! Am I overthinking this?" Xu Qing wondered.

"Whose side are you anyway! How come you've been bribed by the beautiful Zeng after only a few days!" Zhang Ze reached out and ruffled Xu Qing's hair.

"Oh dear! Even though I'm one of your people, Sister Zeng Li has given me so much! Bags, cosmetics, and clothes—I can't refuse her kindness!"

The brother and sister entered the hotel, their voices gradually fading away under the honking of car horns.

Zhang Ze knew perfectly well that in the entertainment industry, it was all just a matter of playing along!

"Is the entertainment industry chaotic or not?" Zhang Ze slyly turned his head to look at Xie Tingfeng behind him!

Xie Tingfeng was a little confused. Thinking there was something behind him, he turned around and looked at Wu Xiubo behind him!

Wu Xiubo was taken aback. Seeing that the two of them were looking at him, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Xie Tingfeng shook his head: "It's nothing!"

Wu Xiubo couldn't help but glance back and saw two actresses walking side by side behind him, namely Zhang Zhixi and Chen Yulin.

Thinking to myself, "There's nothing much behind this! And I must say, these two girls are quite pretty!"

Upon arriving at the hotel, Zhang Ze called Zeng Lai and his mother to let them know he was safe.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ze thought to himself, "Why did I call my wife first again?"

"Hmm, it must be because of the call logs!"

……

Zhang Ze didn't know whether people in America were doing well or not.

But the next day, Zhang Ze experienced the happiness of the American actors.

In China, it's normal for actors to get up at 6:30 a.m. and arrive at the film set around 7 a.m., and sometimes they can work non-stop for 16 or 17 hours a day.

But in the United States, actors go to work every day and leave promptly at 6 p.m., not staying a minute longer.

Unless you offer high overtime pay, and the hours can't be long.

We filmed for eight hours a day, and it wasn't even dark when we got off work.

Zhang Ze exclaimed, "Look at that actor's guild! That's what real benefits for actors are!"

Thinking that after finishing work today, he would take Xu Qing to experience the prosperity of the capitalist world.

But when Zhang Ze saw the director's dark, aged face, he quickly turned his face away.

He muttered softly, "You can't see me, you can't see me!" and slowly moved his feet outwards.

The director, drawing on his deep breath, roared across the set, "Hey, all of you domestic actors, stay behind! Let's all work overtime and catch up on the schedule! These foreigners are awful; they won't work overtime even if you pay them!"

"Zhang Ze and Xiu Bo, you two come over here and be extras."

Zhang Ze: "Damn..."

Zhang Ze was speechless, thinking, "Even though I've gone abroad, I still can't escape the fate of working overtime!"

This shoot lasted for two hours.

It was past 8 p.m. when the film crew finished work.

Xu Qing asked Zhang Ze if he wanted to go out for a walk.

Zhang Ze shook his head like a rattle-drum, "I'm exhausted, what's the point of shopping? Let's go back to sleep."

Xu Qing had also been on set for over ten hours and had no desire to go sightseeing. E breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Zhang Zhe's words.

Although I couldn't go out and enjoy the beautiful night in Los Angeles.

However, a hearty dinner is still acceptable.

Zhang Zhe took Xu Qing to a nearby Spanish restaurant for a sumptuous Western meal.

While Zhang Ze was focused on cooking the food on his plate, he was looking down at his plate.

Xu Qing suddenly nudged Zhang Ze in surprise, "Hey, brother, look! Aren't those Teacher Wu Xiubo and Chen Yilin? Why are those two out together!"

Zhang Ze turned his head and saw that it was indeed Wu Xiubo and Chen Yilin.

He didn't take it to heart and said to Xu Qing, "Don't worry about others, just eat yours."

Xu Qing asked, "Hey, brother, do you think we should go and say hello to Teacher Wu Xiubo and the others?"

If he finds out that we're in the same restaurant as him and we didn't greet them, will he think we're impolite?

Zhang Ze quickly stopped his silly sister, "No need to go. Let's pretend we didn't see anything. Remember, when you're in the entertainment industry, observe more and talk less."

Xu Qing seemed to understand, but only vaguely, and said "Oh".

Filming was very tedious.

Especially in an environment like this abroad,

The language barrier caused significant difficulties for the filming process.

Fortunately, there was someone in the crew who majored in English, namely Zhang Zhixi.

During filming, crew members would consult her whenever they encountered language problems.

The filming went on for a week.

When Zhang Ze returned to the hotel after work, he received a huge surprise.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Zeng Li stood gracefully in front of him.

A mix of emotions—surprise, delight, and emotion—surged into my heart within a second or two.

Before Zhang Ze could even process his own feelings, he exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, am I dreaming?"

He ran forward quickly, opened his arms, and hugged Zeng Lai tightly.

He shouted, "Sister Zeng Lai, why are you here?"

Zeng Lai smiled, rested her chin on Zhang Ze's shoulder, and said gently, "I missed you, so I came!"

Zhang Ze couldn't help but hug the beauty in his arms even tighter.
