When Ouyang Ouyang heard this, he quickly explained: "Boss, there is an assistant director watching the set."

Xu Youyou said, "The assistant director is so capable, can he just replace you? Remove the word 'assistant' from his title."

Ouyang Ouyang suddenly felt a sense of crisis, but the assistant director was also his good brother, so he told him the truth: "Xiao Huang is not mature enough now. After about two or three more dramas, I think he can try to make an independent film."

Xu Youyou said: "Since you know that he is not capable of handling things on his own, you should not neglect your duties."

A look of grievance flashed across Ouyang Ouyang's face. He drove for almost two hours to come and pick someone up, but only got a basin of cold water.

Xu Youyou knew he was trying to flatter her, but she didn't like this kind of atmosphere. She said, "You're a director. I hope you can focus on filming. Artists should pursue their own goals and let their works speak for themselves. Don't try to flatter the boss. As long as you make a good movie, I'll support you in return."

Ouyang Ouyang's spirits lifted, and the look of grievance on his face disappeared instantly. He felt that it was a coincidence. In his heart, in order to prevent his boss from being angry with him because of Song Zhibai's tanning, he ran to the airport to pick him up and get close to him, but instead made his boss dissatisfied with him.

Xu Youyou was also thinking about Ouyang's bad habits, and she understood why he did this. After all, he came from a grassroots background, and when he finally got the opportunity, he naturally wanted to grab it desperately, so he praised Song Zhibai before and now flattered himself crazily.

In his previous life, Ouyang Ouyang rose to prominence a year later. The short videos he shot at that time became popular on major social platforms. This was due to the accumulation of time and his own abilities.

In this life, Xu Youyou's early intervention was a bit like forcing things to grow, but with systematic certification, Xu Youyou was not worried about Ouyang's mentality and said directly: "I believe in you, but you don't believe in yourself. You need to be bolder. Can an artist with a restricted mind still achieve anything?"

Ouyang Ouyang's nose felt sore. Although he got the opportunity to film a TV series, he was not at ease in his heart. After all, more than a month ago he was still running a small restaurant. Not everyone can remain calm when faced with an opportunity to rise to fame overnight.

"Boss, I will definitely put the set first next time, don't worry." Ouyang Ouyang's voice was a little choked.

When the car drove into the set, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on everyone. Looking at the Gobi Desert and the people who were still working hard on the filming under the setting sun, Xu Youyou's mood seemed to become more cheerful.

The scenes of Song Zhibai are being filmed now. The young swordsman is dressed in white and his sword moves smoothly, which instantly puts people into the world of revenge and redemption.

"Okay, cut!" Assistant Director Xiao Huang shouted.

After Song Zhibai finished filming, he saw Xu Youyou standing with the director from afar, walking towards him with a sword in hand.

Ouyang Ouyang carefully looked at Xu Youyou's expression, but Xu Youyou just glanced at him and said, "Go and take a look at the footage shot by Assistant Director Huang. If it doesn't work, reshoot it as soon as possible."

Ouyang Ouyang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ran to the instrument to carefully check the afternoon's shooting content.

Song Zhibai was quite happy to see Xu Youyou coming.

But soon he noticed Xu Youyou's strange look.

"Why are you so dark?" Xu Youyou could hardly recognize that this charcoal-skinned man was the top star she had worked so hard to find.

Song Zhibai was much more cheerful than before, and was willing to smile at others. He said, "The sun is so strong here, there's nothing I can do about getting tanned."

Although the face was still pretty, Xu Youyou always felt uncomfortable.

"Have you finished filming the previous scenes? The ones that require you to have white skin?" Xu Youyou was very concerned about the final presentation of the drama.

Song Zhibai nodded.

Xu Youyou finally breathed a sigh of relief. She still had some whitening pills in her hand, and planned to help Song Zhibai get his whiteness back after he finished filming.

"Are you having any difficulties in life? How is your mother recovering now?"

Xu Youyou positioned herself as a leader who came to visit the crew to express her condolences.

Song Zhibai was stunned for a moment by the official tone before he stumbled back, saying, "Boss, my mother can cook for herself now, so there's no need to bother hiring a nurse."

After returning to China, Xu Youyou hired someone to take care of Song's mother. Song Zhibai was very grateful for her thoughtful consideration.

Xu Youyou said, "After all, your mother has been ill before, and her health is not as good as that of an average person. With someone taking care of her, any problems will be discovered in time. You don't have to worry about money. When you become famous, debts or hiring a nurse will be a piece of cake."

After Xu Youyou had given the crew's most important director and lead actor a pep talk, she felt her mission was halfway accomplished. With a wave of her hand, she instructed the producer standing by, "Please arrange for dinner for the entire crew tomorrow night at the best local hotel."

After most of the crew's matters were resolved, Xu Youyou got into a luxury car that had been rented locally without saying goodbye to anyone on the set.

The person driving was still Xu Fang. Xu Youyou was used to her driving, so she was not used to other people's cars.

"Turn left."

"Go ahead."

"Turn left again."

……

Following Xu Youyou's directions, Xu Fang drove for more than an hour without asking any questions. The car entered a small alley and stopped in front of a dilapidated bungalow.

The bungalow was locked and the door was covered with a layer of iron sheet, which was now rusted in many places. There was a circle of grass growing in front of the door. It was obvious that no one had lived in the house for a long time.

The system's instructions fell on this house. Xu Youyou thought that renting a house was not safe. If she could buy this house, she could ensure that the treasure inside belonged to her completely.

Before Xu Youyou could worry about how to contact the landlord, she saw a middle-aged man dressed like a local circling around the car that Xu Youyou rented.

"A BMW! Little girl, how much did you pay for such a nice car?" Wang Shengli asked in a familiar manner.

Xu Youyou said casually: "Rented."

"Rented? It costs a lot of money to rent for a day, but you young people are willing to spend money!" Wang Shengli sighed.

Xu Youyou gave a look to the bodyguard beside her, and he immediately came up to Wang Shengli and handed him a cigarette.

"Brother, do you live in this alley?" asked the bodyguard.

Wang Shengli nodded. "My grandfather's generation lived in this alley. I see you don't speak with a local accent. Are you tourists?"

Xu Youyou said, "Brother, you have a really good eye. I like this city very much, and I especially like the old alleys. I want to buy this bungalow, but I don't know who to buy it from."

Wang Shengli's eyes lit up and he said, "Then you've asked the right person. I know him and I'll take you there directly."
