Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!
Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Start-up Success

"No need to be polite. I recommended you guys because I think your acting is good and you fit the roles really well. It's your performance that satisfied Director Xu. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen you," Xu Yang said, his gaze falling on one of the actors, and he couldn't help but frown, "Director Xu, is this actor in a condition to participate in filming?"

The actor looked sickly, as if a gust of wind could knock him over.

Upon this, Xu Zhen offered an explanation.

"President Xu, this actor's name is Wang Chuanjun. He plays a patient, and this is the kind of state that's required of his character."

"After he was confirmed for the role, he started training like crazy, consuming only a few steamed buns each day."

"Honestly, I'm quite worried about him. I keep telling him to take care of his health, but he insists that he must reach the same state as the character to do it justice. I really admire that."

"I'm sure you've noticed that the other actors are all in unusual states compared to normal people. This is all the result of their strenuous training, all to accurately capture the true appearance of the patients."

"To tell the truth, I've been an actor for so many years, rarely have I seen such dedicated actors. As a director, seeing them like this, I feel both gratified and heartbroken, as well as deeply admiring."

The dedication of these actors has given him even more confidence in making this film great.

"I see," Xu Yang said, suddenly understanding. He admired these actors as well, thinking that with such performers, how could the film not be a success?

It must be because of such actors that this film was made possible.

As for Director Wen Muye, the role he played probably wasn't that significant.

This suggested that not working with Director Wen Muye probably wouldn't make much of a difference.

Xu Yang then cautioned, "Seeing how hardworking the actors are makes me even more confident that everyone will do a great job with the film. Still, Director Xu, you must ensure proper logistical support. As much as the actors are committed to filming, we can't let it actually harm their health."

Xu Zhen nodded repeatedly, "President Xu cares, and you can rest assured we will definitely provide thorough logistical support."

Suddenly, he added, "President Xu, they are very grateful for this opportunity you've given them. Before coming over, they told me they wanted to take a photo with you, is that okay?"

When Xu Zhen asked this question, all the actors were looking at Xu Yang with hopeful eyes.

They just wanted a photo with Xu Yang to forever remember that he was the one who gave them this opportunity.

"Sure," Xu Yang did not refuse.

Following that, Xu Yang took a group photo with all the actors.

Then it was time for the opening ceremony.

Firstly, Director and lead actor Xu Zhen gave a speech, followed by investor representative Xue Zhanhua.

Xu Yang and a few others were not ones to hog the limelight, so they left Xue Zhanhua to speak on behalf of the group.

Wang Xiaocong did seem a bit eager to make an appearance, but since Xu Yang had no such desire, he lost interest as well.

After the speeches, it was time for everyone to light incense.

Having lit the incense, Director Xu Zhen and investor representative Xue Zhanhua unveiled the red cloth covering the camera.

"Wishing a great start to the project."

As the cry went up, a burst of firecrackers sounded.

The whole sequence of events took over an hour.

The timing was precisely managed; after the busy period was over and things were tidied up, it was time to return to the hotel for lunch.

Xu Yang had never attended an opening ceremony like this before and found it quite interesting.

After lunch, Xu Zhen took the film crew to the shooting location to begin filming.

Wu Jing and Xue Zhanhua came over to greet Xu Yang and others before leaving.

"Xu Yang, Old Jiang, Old Su, let's go. I'll take you on a good tour around the capital. You're not from here, so there are places you don't know about," Wang Xiaocong called out.

"Young Master Wang, you guys go ahead. I'm heading back to Jiangcheng today," Xu Yang said, shaking his head.

"You're already here. Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Stay and play for a few days before you return," Wang Xiaocong said.

"Yes, Xu Yang, stay for a couple of days before heading back," Jiang Yuheng and Su Wenbin also tried to persuade him.

"No, thanks. Today is a special day, I need to go back and spend it with my wife," Xu Yang still refused.

"A special day?" Jiang Yuheng was puzzled.

"What special day?" Su Wenbin was also somewhat confused.

"Crap, today is May 20th!" Wang Xiaocong finally remembered.

"That's right, I have a surprise prepared for my wife tonight, so I must go back," Xu Yang said.

"Alright then, since you've already said so, if I still persuaded you to stay, I would be hindering you from spending sweet moments with your wife. We can't do that," Wang Xiaocong said.

"I'm off; you guys have fun here." Xu Yang waved his hand and left.

He went straight to the airport and returned to Jiang City.

It was after 5 p.m. when he got back to Jiang City.

Today happened to be Saturday, and Zhao Yuxin came to the airport to pick up Xu Yang.

The couple returned to the downtown area, first took a stroll on the streets, then had dinner, followed by a movie, and after the movie, they went for a walk by the Lan River.

By then, it was already 11 p.m.

Zhao Yuxin had wanted to go back, but Xu Yang said that today was a good day and suggested they take a walk here.

In fact, it wasn't far from Century Garden.

It was only a few minutes by car, or about half an hour walking.

"There are so many couples out for a walk here."

Upon reaching the Lan River, seeing many young men and women, mostly in pairs, Zhao Yuxin couldn't help but exclaim.

"Today is 520, a day with commemorative significance," Xu Yang said with a smile.

"Actually, these holidays are just made up by capitalists to fool young people into celebrating and spending," Zhao Yuxin said with a scoff.

"Hehe, no matter what, clear-headed people know what to do," Xu Yang said with a laugh.

"That's true," Zhao Yuxin agreed.

As they walked hand in hand, basking in their sweet moments, a figure not far behind them was watching them intently.

It was Zhao Yulu.

Today, she had come here to clear her mind.

She was in a very bad mood.

Chen Guanglei's behavior had left some shadows in her heart.

It made her feel all the more that leaving Xu Yang had been a mistake.

The only thing she could take comfort in was that she had not agreed to be Chen Guanglei's girlfriend.

If she had agreed to it, and later Chen Guanglei showed his true colors, that would have been true regret.

Seeing the backs of Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin, her delicate body couldn't help but tremble.

From their behavior, it was evident that their feelings for each other were very strong.

She simply couldn't see how Xu Yang was just treating Zhao Yuxin as a substitute for her.

Xu Yang's actions, and the loving glances he occasionally cast back at Zhao Yuxin, were filled with affection.

If she was just a substitute, would Xu Yang act like this?

"Honey, let's head back, I'm feeling a bit sleepy," Zhao Yuxin said after walking for a while.

"Wait a moment," Xu Yang checked the time.

"What are we waiting for?" Zhao Yuxin asked.

"Look over there," Xu Yang pointed towards the Mingyue Tower on the other side of the Lan River.

Mingyue Tower is one of Jiang City's iconic buildings.

Many tourists who visit Jiang City go up there.

From the top, you can overlook the entire landscape of Jiang City.

"Why are we looking at Mingyue Tower?" Zhao Yuxin asked curiously.

"You'll know very soon," Xu Yang didn't explain.

As his words fell, the screen on Mingyue Tower lit up.

A countdown appeared on the screen.

"10, 9, 8..."
