A few days later.
Yao Jiancai's house.
Ding dong, ding dong. Someone pressed the doorbell.
When Old Yao's wife opened the door, she was stunned. Then, she exclaimed, "Zhang 'er! Why are you here? Come on in! "
Zhang Ye brought in bags of various sizes. "Sister-in-law, long time no see."
Elder Yao's wife's eyes reddened. "It's been four years."
Zhang Ye smiled. "But isn't it? It's been four years in a flash."
Yao Jiancai's daughter, Yao Mi, ran out of the house. "Is that my Uncle Zhang? Is it my Uncle Zhang? "
Zhang Ye laughed heartily. "It's me."
Yao Mi went up to give him a hug. "You're finally back!"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Yeah, I'm back. Where's your dad?"
At this time, Yao Jiancai strolled out of the room in his pajamas.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
Old Yao had really changed a lot.
His hair was thinner, and he was thinner.
Yao Jiancai looked at him and said, "You've been back for a few days, and now you're visiting me?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "I've just come back. There were too many things to do and I haven't visited my old friends yet. Let me tell you, this is the first place I've come to. What's the matter? I heard that in recent years, they've been regressing. You don't even want to do crosstalk anymore? The villains in movies and TV dramas? Are you okay? "She looked him up and down." How did you lose so much weight? How old are you? You still want to lose weight? What is the meaning of this? Do you want to be an idol? "
Old Yao's wife snickered. "He's not trying to lose weight. He was born out of anger."
Zhang Ye was surprised, "Who made our Teacher Yao angry?"
Old Yao's wife said, "Isn't it because they can't get any good shows? The market has been taken over by the little fresh meats. The living space for the other actors is getting smaller and smaller."
Yao Jiancai smacked his lips and said, "Alright, why are you talking about this?"
Old Yao's wife rolled her eyes. "It's not like Little Zhang is an outsider."
Yao Mi hurriedly said, "Uncle Zhang, what are you going to do with your reply? Hurry up and do something. My dad has been idle at home for two months. "
Zhang Ye said happily, "I have a project in my hands."
Yao Jiancai asked curiously, "There are people who dare to invest in projects for you?"
Zhang Ye said a little embarrassed, "It's a project from the Central Publicity Department."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Yao Jiancai snorted. "Are you two going to stay open till the very end?"
Zhang Ye ignored him and threw the script at him. "I've reserved a good role for you. See if you want to take it or not. But let me say this first. Don't even think about the pay. It will definitely be very low, but let me tell you the truth. If you do well in this role, it won't be a problem for you to stay popular for three to five years. But I'm just afraid that you will lose your acting skills.
Yao Jiancai chuckled and said, "All I have left now is my acting skills."
Zhang Ye said, "Then take a look at the book."
Yao Jiancai said, "There's no need to look. Call me when it's time to start."
…
In a certain luxurious villa area.
At Ning Lan's house.
Zhang Ye and Ning Lan sat across from each other. Ning Lan's husband dismissed the servants and personally served them tea.
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Director Yuan, you're too polite."
Ning Lan smiled. "Don't call me Director Yuan. Just call me Old Yuan."
Old Yuan chuckled and said, "That's right, Lanlan's friends are my friends."
"Alright, I'll call you Old Yuan then." Zhang Ye asked, "When did you get married?"
Ning Lan crossed her legs and said, "Two years ago. I was thinking that I would definitely have to get you to be my emcee when I get married. But you didn't show up at all, so I didn't want to wait for you. I'll get married first."
Old Yuan was a businessman and was very rich.
But it could be seen that the couple had a very good relationship.
Old Yuan smiled. "You guys chat. I'll watch TV in the living room."
When he left, Ning Lan smiled and said, "You've been back for more than ten days, right? What's the matter? Can you feel the changes in the world? "
Zhang Ye said, "Yeah, it's too obvious."
Ning Lan said, "Are you really planning to take on the industry again?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Why wouldn't I?"
Ning Lan said with a sigh, "We're all getting old. Our popularity is no longer what it used to be."
"So you're going to retire? You're not going to take on any shows anymore? " Zhang Ye looked at her. "You're a model worker of the entertainment industry, a Best Actress who dares to take on more than a dozen shows a year. What's the meaning of this? You're going to retire now? And you're going to enjoy the life of a rich wife? "
Ning Lan was a little distracted. "I'm married and a wife now, so my focus will naturally be on my family."
Zhang Ye could tell that Ning Lan was still unable to let go of acting.
She'd worked her entire life!
She'd acted in movies and TV series all her life!
How could she possibly let it go!
To people like them, work had long since become part of their lives.
Zhang Ye said, "Back then, there were only two publicly recognized model workers in the entertainment industry. I was the male celebrity, and you were the female celebrity. Of course, my title as a model worker was rather ironic as everyone felt that I was causing trouble every day. But your title as a model worker is the real deal. No one has ever broken your record of taking on a show until now." Saying that, he took out a script and placed it on the table. "I've taken on a TV series and there's a role that I can't think of anyone suitable for. The acting requirements are too high, so I can only think of you right now. There's no other candidate."
Ning Lan looked at the script on the table but did not reach out to take it. "Big Sis, I've already canceled it."
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Then I'll invite you to take on the role."
Ning Lan glanced in the direction of the living room. "Forget it. I'm old and can't act anymore. What's the use of your acting skills now? You can't even compare to a hunk. "
Zhang Ye blinked. "Take a look at the script first."
Ning Lan shook her head.
Zhang Ye said, "Take a look."
Ning Lan hesitated for a moment before picking up the script. "Alright, alright, I'll take a look."
She took a full hour to read through it.
When she was done, Ning Lan put down the script with a wry smile and pointed at Zhang Ye. "I can tell that you're trying to seduce me on purpose!" She was starting to feel a little itchy.
Old Yuan walked over.
Ning Lan smiled and said, "Old Yuan, hurry up and chase him away."
Old Yuan said in amusement, "What's the matter?"
Ning Lan sighed and said, "I've been doing pretty well as a wife, but this fellow insists on dragging me back into the industry. Don't you think he's trying to scam me?"
Old Yuan looked at his wife. "Do you still want to act?"
Ning Lan did not say anything.
Old Yuan was silent for a while before saying, "If you want to act, then go ahead."
Ning Lan looked at him. "Didn't you say that you didn't want me to act?"
Old Yuan gave a wry smile and said, "I didn't want you to tire yourself out, but ever since we got married, I can tell that you're not as cheerful as before. I heard from the servants that you've been watching the entertainment industry news at home every day. I know that you can't let go of those old friends of yours or your acting. If you want to act, then go ahead. I'll support you."
Ning Lan smiled and said to Zhang Ye, "What do you think of my husband?"
Zhang Ye gave her a thumbs up. "You're a good man!"
Ning Lan said decisively, "You're the only one who could invite me to take on the role. Alright then, I'll accompany you on this trip to the industry again!"
Old Yuan nearly fainted. "I can tell now. So you're trying to set me up?"
Zhang Ye and Ning Lan laughed.
