A few days later.
Overseas, on an island somewhere.
This was a world-famous vacation destination. On this day, Zhang Ye brought his wife, children, his parents, his younger sisters, his parents-in-law, and everyone from the studio here for a vacation. The group of them booked all the rooms in the only hotel on the island.
Blue sky.
White clouds.
Bi Sea.
On the beach.
Coconut trees.
Everything was so beautiful.
"Wow!"
"So beautiful!"
"Boss, isn't this too extravagant?"
"Haha, everyone, let's have fun. We're all on vacation these days."
"Oh yeah!"
"Long live the boss!"
"Director Zhang is so generous. We're finally on vacation!"
"I love the sea! This place is amazing! "
"It's only our people. That's great!"
Everyone was mesmerized by the beautiful scenery.
Some people immediately went swimming in the sea, while others went back to their rooms in the cabin to pack their luggage. Zhang Ye's eldest younger sister, Cao Dan, even started a live broadcast. As she walked along the beach, she was fiddling with her cell phone's camera and chatting with her fans. It was a very lively scene.
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, how's this place?"
His father nodded. "It's too beautiful."
His mother muttered, "How much will this cost?"
"Aiya, not much," Zhang Ye said.
Li Qinqin smiled and said, "In-law, shall we go swimming?"
His mother immediately said, "Alright, let's go."
Wu Changhe said, "I won't be going."
Li Qinqin said, "Then why don't you play Go with your son-in-law?"
Wu Changhe rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not playing against him."
Zhang Ye laughed, "Haha."
The second sister shouted from the sea, "Brother! Come and teach us how to swim! "
Zhang Ye laughed at the top of his voice and said, "Go ahead and flop around by yourselves. I'll teach you guys in a while. Don't go into the middle of the sea. It's very deep over there. Just walk along the shore!"
The third sister called out, "Waiting for you! Hurry up! "
Wu Zeqing smiled. "Go and play with them for a while."
Zhang Ye lay on the recliner and did not want to move. "I've been too tired these past few months. I still haven't gotten over it. Let's take a break first." He yawned lazily. "I'm already sleepy."
Sisi said in her childish voice, "Daddy, I'm going to play with ChenChen."
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Go on, go on."
Chenchen pulled Sisi's hand and went to play.
Zhang Ye lay there with his eyes closed. He felt extremely comfortable. Seeing his family happy, he was also happy. During this period of time, he was really too busy. He almost didn't return home once a week. He was in the wilderness recording shows every day. Now that the show was over and his ranking was on the international B-list, he could finally rest for a few days. That was why he brought his family and colleagues to the island for a vacation. As the saying goes, strike a balance between work and rest.
One hour.
Two hours.
Everyone was playing crazily, and laughter rang out incessantly.
Soon after, Ha Qiqi and the others returned to the beach.
"Director Zhang." Ha Qiqi asked, "Are you really going to take a week off?"
Zhang Zuo said, "I'm just afraid that my popularity will drop from the International B-list Rankings again."
"Yeah." Little Wang also said worriedly, "It wasn't easy for us to get up there. Don't get knocked down in just a few days. That would be so embarrassing."
Zhang Ye said happily, "That won't happen. I've already checked the rankings. Although we're in the last place of the B-list rankings, we're still a little higher than the international C-list celebrity. I don't dare to say for a month or two, but we won't be surpassed by anyone in a week. Everyone has been working hard these past few days, so let's have some fun. Don't think about work anymore. In recent years, we haven't organized many trips for everyone, so it's a rare opportunity. If we miss it, we won't get another chance like this again."
Ha Qiqi smiled and said, "Alright, then we won't stand on ceremony."
Little Wang said eagerly, "Director Zhang, can we drink the liquor at the hotel?"
Zhang Ye waved it off. "Drink and eat as much as you want. I'll take care of everything."
"Wow!" Several of the studio's youngsters cheered. "Director Zhang is almighty!"
Ha Qiqi said helplessly, "The few of you only know how to eat and drink."
But Zhang Zuo still couldn't stay idle. Sometimes, the higher the position, the greater the pressure. There were some things that he had to think about. "What should we do next?"
Ha Qiqi also asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
Zhang Ye shook his head. "I don't know either."
Ha Qiqi said, "The higher we go, the harder it gets."
"Of course." Zhang Ye smiled and said, "But the harder it gets, the more we have to go."
Little Wang said excitedly, "The next step will definitely be to make it to the international A-list."
Wu Yi sighed and said, "The international A-list, that's something that we didn't even dare to think about in the past. Unknowingly, we've already gotten so close to it?"
Zhang Ye said, "Actually, it's still very far away. It might be relatively easy to go from the international C-list to the B-list, but to go from the international B-list to the A-list is really as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Lillian is an international A-list superstar, and compared to her, my popularity is really too lacking. When we get back, let's first gain a foothold in the international B-list rankings. After that, we can consider if there are any better opportunities. The main thing is still opportunities."
Ha Qiqi sighed and said, "The best choice is actually still a movie."
Zhang Zuo nodded. "In the international entertainment industry, movies are ranked number one. If you want to increase your popularity, filming movies is the fastest way. It's a pity that we don't have the final say in Hollywood, and it's not a place where we can go whenever we want. Although many Hollywood films have invited you to join them these days, most of them are supporting roles. The films that have invited you to be the lead are all low-budget productions, let alone asking you to be the director. They don't have the guts, even if you've directed a domestic film that's close to the world's film history and a TV show that's popular all over the world. "
Hollywood?
Movies?
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "If Hollywood dares to invite me to make a movie, they'd have to be crazy."
Ring ring ring.
Ring ring ring.
The phone rang.
It was a call from China's richest man.
"Hello? Director Qian? "
"Teacher Zhang, where are you?"
"I'm on vacation abroad."
"I haven't congratulated you on getting into the international B-list yet."
"Sigh, who knows if I'll fall down again in a few days."
"No, I still have confidence in you."
"What's wrong, Director Qian? What's the matter? "
"What plans do you have for the future?"
"Hur hur, I haven't thought about it yet."
"Why don't I hire you to make a movie?"
"I don't have any good scripts for domestic movies at the moment."
"It's a Hollywood movie."
"Hollywood? What do you mean? "
"I'm currently in the process of acquiring a Hollywood company and we're in the final stages of negotiations. The company isn't particularly big, but it's definitely not small either. That's why I'm giving you a heads-up first. After I acquire the company, I'll book a movie with you. I'll give you the director, casting rights, and editing rights. I won't interfere in any of that, so you can just go ahead and film it. Even if the global box office earnings are average, it doesn't matter.
How about that? "" Haha, it's a deal. "
"Alright, it's a deal."
