Zhang Xiao thought for a while and said: "Hathaway, people are not static. If you ask the same question now, his reaction will definitely be different from if you ask it an hour later."

"The same goes for our characters in the play."

"As actors, what we need to do is to become one with the character. Only in this way, no matter what reaction you make, it will feel extremely real."

Anne Hathaway smiled bitterly and said: "But the state you mentioned is easier said than done."

Zhang Xiao nodded in disbelief and said: "Yes, this requires actors to be able to perform the human drama part."

"But if you really can't tell the difference between human and play, it's probably not far away from mental illness, so actors can only get infinitely close to the characters. I have to say, this is the tragedy of us as actors."

Anne Hathaway said: "Director Zhang, thank you for your advice."

"You're welcome!" Zhang Xiao smiled and waved his hand: "Hathaway, you really have a talent for acting. I hope you won't waste your talent."

Anne Hathaway nodded and said, "Well, I will work hard."

After the two briefly chatted for a while, the fifth filming began.

Under the guidance of Zhang Xiao, Anne Hathaway's performance is getting better and better, and the cooperation between the two is becoming more and more tacit.

The shooting effects are naturally getting better and better, and the progress is getting faster and faster.

Three weeks later, all scenes for "Source Code" were filmed.

Compared with the earth, Zhang Xiao's speed is a full month ahead of schedule. This is the difference between a god-level director and an ordinary director.

After the crew returned to the hotel where they were staying, Zhang Xiao treated everyone to a sumptuous closing banquet. The next day, everyone went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.

Zhang Xiao took his people for three more days to take some outside shots in Lighthouse Country, and then returned to China to prepare for post-production.

···

Inside the Yuzhou villa.

"Bang!"

"Bang, bang!"

There was a knock on the door.

Since Yang Mi became pregnant, she came to Yuzhou from the capital to take care of her mother Yang. Xu Lan opened the door and saw Zhang Xiao standing outside the door carrying large and small bags.

"Mom, I'm back." Zhang Xiao saw Xu Lan's bright smile.

Xu Lan was also very excited and said: "You've finished filming, that's great, come in quickly!"

It can be said that Xu Lan is very, very satisfied with Zhang Xiao’s son-in-law.

He is capable, capable, and talented. He is worth hundreds of billions, but he is extremely low-key. He never goes out to live and play, and he is obedient even when he abuses others. He is simply the most perfect husband in the hearts of all women.

Every time she saw the happy smile on Yang Mi's face when she mentioned Zhang Xiao, Xu Lan felt happy for her daughter from the bottom of her heart.

"Husband, you're back so soon!"

It was already early May, and there were still two months left before the due date. Yang Mi’s belly was already very big, and her whole body was also much rounder.

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "The filming was completed in one month. Wife, please sit down quickly and don't be tired."

Yang Mi said: "I just got up and stood for a while. How could I be tired?"

"Besides, the doctor has specifically told me to exercise more, so that when I give birth, I will feel much more relaxed."

Hearing about the matter of having children, Zhang Xiao, who is omnipotent in the entertainment industry, became wilted and said helplessly: "Okay!"

"I don't understand these things. Let's just listen to the doctor. By the way, what do you want to eat for lunch today? I'll make it for you."

"I bought all the vegetables."

Grain delivery

At this time, Xu Lan on the side said: "Zhang Xiao, you have just returned, you should have a good rest, I will cook!"

"No, Mom, I just want to eat the food he cooked." Yang Mi quickly stopped her and said coquettishly to Xu Lan.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiao also smiled and said to Xu Lan: "Mom, don't worry, I'm in great health. Even if I run more than ten kilometers a day, I won't be tired."

"That's right!" Yang Mi also agreed and said to Zhang Xiao: "Husband, I want to eat boiled cabbage, fried beef with soy sauce, steamed sea bass, and anything else."

Yang Mi really missed Zhang Xiao's food after not eating it for more than a month.

Zhang Xiao smiled and snapped his fingers when he heard this, and said: "Okay, no problem, I promise to complete the task."

The way this young couple communicated made Xu Lan a little bit dumbfounded.

As a woman from a traditional era, Xu Lan felt that Zhang Xiao had just returned from work and needed to rest.

But Yang Mi, a little girl, asked him to cook as soon as she came back. It was simply inappropriate.

Xu Lan decided to educate Yang Mi well.

Two hours later, Zhang Xiao prepared six dishes and one soup and brought them to the table.

"Bang bang bang!"

Just as the family was preparing to eat, the knock on the door rang again.

Zhang Xiao opened the door and saw that it was Reba. He rolled his eyes and said, "You came here because of the smell, right?"

Reba chuckled and said, "Brother-in-law is so smart, I just came here because of the smell."

Xu Lan also liked Reba very much when she saw her, and said: "Reba is here, just in time, come over and have dinner together.",

"Thank you, Aunt Lan." Reba thanked her and walked in.

After arriving at the restaurant and looking at the food on the table, Reba's eyes widened and she exclaimed: "Wow, this meal for pregnant women is really different."

After saying that, I planned to reach out and grab a piece of beef to try.

Reba and Yang Mi are already closer than real sisters, and they are getting along very well with Xu Lan during this period. They have always acted like little girls, so they feel very casual when they come to Yang Mi's house.

Yang Mi and Xu Lan didn't care and watched happily.

Zhang Xiao reminded him with a dumbfounded look: "I'm talking about the beautiful lady, could you please go wash it and put it away?"

"Okay, wait, I'm going to wash my hands right away." Reba responded and ran to wash her hands with joy.

Next, the four people gathered around the dining table and had a hearty meal.

Yang Mi looked at Reba and asked: "By the way, Reba, how about the six new people the company hired recently?"

Since Yang Mi is pregnant at home and has a big belly now, she leaves many things in the company to Reba to handle. If there are only some big things, she can just make a decision on the phone.

Reba finished a sip of soup, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and replied: "They are currently receiving professional acting training. After two months, if they pass the assessment, they will officially debut."

At this time, Zhang Xiao asked curiously: "Who are you recruiting?"

Reba quickly took out his mobile phone and found the performance video of the company's six new recruits. He handed it to Zhang Xiao and said, "Brother-in-law, take a look for yourself."

Zhang Xiao took the phone and watched it from beginning to end, frowning and said: "The man is so handsome and the woman is so beautiful, but I can't praise her acting skills."

Yang Mi had also seen these videos and knew the situation of the six people. She said speechlessly: "My Director Zhang, do you think everyone is as perverted as you? As newcomers, their skills are already very good."

Reba also echoed: "That's right, the acting skills of these six people can be considered to be at the second-tier level, and their foundation is very good."

"As long as they work hard in the crew for a few years and play more roles, within five years they will definitely become stars with both acting skills and popularity."
