My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1486 Concert Part 1
End of March.

It's approaching evening.

The recent cold snap has ended, and spring has officially arrived. At this moment, the city sky is ablaze with rosy clouds, painting the horizon with golden edges. Tianyu Entertainment's styling department is currently busy at work.

Simmons, wearing a super short mini skirt, is sitting in a chair while the makeup artist does her makeup.

Are you nervous!?

Noticing that Simmons' body was tense, Xinlan, who was sitting next to her, asked with concern.

"Very nervous"

Simmons replied.

Xin Lan was the agent the company specially assigned to her, and she was also given a personal assistant. Xi Meng was really worried about the company's arrangements. She was worried that she would not be able to create more value for the company and thus would not be able to support her agent and personal assistant. Although the company told her not to worry, how could Xi Meng not worry?

The main issue is that her company hasn't arranged any extra runway shows for her during this period; they've only been having her rehearse a runway show for superstar Zhang You's concert.

She did as she was told.

Even after rehearsing with Zhang You, she would practice frantically at night, afraid of ruining his concert. But no extra work meant no extra income. Last month, she received her basic salary from the company, which was only a little over five thousand yuan. It seemed like a lot, but it couldn't solve her current situation.

However, Xi Meng understood the company's intention. They wanted to see if they could boost her career after she participated in the concert of the superstar Zhang You. If they could, her appearance fee for runway shows would undoubtedly be much higher. But... what if she remained lukewarm?

"Relax a bit"

Xin Lan comforted her, "You can do it. I know what you're thinking. You just feel that the reason you were signed by the company isn't because you're so outstanding, but because Director Zhang's daughter and apprentice felt sorry for you and asked Director Zhang to help you. That's true, but you probably don't know Director Zhang. If it were just about helping, he would have introduced you to the company and then stopped caring about you. The fact that he let you be a guest performer at his concert means that he saw something special in you."

Xinlan understood Simmons's thoughts.

The reason she became Simmons' agent was partly due to the company's arrangement, and partly because after meeting Simmons, she felt that this woman had a fiery personality.

Her facial features are smooth, her forehead is full, and she exudes a sense of sophistication.

The key is that he's very tall.

Moreover, unlike top models in China who are trained by modeling agencies to cater to the West and have a harsh face, or what older generations in China would call a face that looks like someone in the family has died, top models in China do not have such a harsh face.

"Others say the same thing, but I really do..."

Before Xi Meng could finish speaking, Xin Lan interrupted her earnestly, saying, "You just need to be at your best, and the rest... do you believe in the gifts of fate?"

"I believe this"

Xi Meng thought for a moment and replied.

"Since you believe in it, then don't worry. Fate doesn't just grant favors once. If Director Zhang thinks you can do it, then you definitely can. His judgment of people has never been wrong. He's been instrumental in launching many people in the company. I think you know that, like Shen Jiaming, Jin Kai, and Jin Zhen. Although Ma Chu wasn't made famous by him, he only achieved a complete comeback thanks to his novel 'Until the End of the World.' Otherwise, who knows how many years it would have taken for him to return to his peak. And you could be next."

Xinlan wasn't trying to comfort Simmons; she was stating the facts.

Everyone says that Shen Jiaming and Jin Kai are exceptional talents, but with so many people in society, it means that exceptional talents are not hard to find.

To put it bluntly, even in a comedy like *Goodbye Mr. Loser*, other actors could have achieved the same effect without Shen Jiaming. It's not that Shen Jiaming was indispensable. The film's success wasn't due to Shen Jiaming's exceptional acting skills or comedic timing, but rather because the story resonated with many young people. Up until *Crazy Stone*, he was still figuring out his acting style. It will likely take him at least one or two more films to truly master comedy.

But Shen Jiaming became incredibly popular, thanks to his roles in two comedy films written by Director Zhang. He became the top male actor signed by the company, and even Jin Kai didn't have his level of commercial value.

During this time, an entertainment company approached the company. Xin Lan heard that in order to invite Shen Jiaming to participate, the salary for a single film was already 20 million plus 5% of the box office revenue. And this is far from the limit of a comedian's salary. If the third film is successful, the salary will increase even more. At the same time, a variety show also approached him.

He just chats and plays games, yet he was offered a 20 million yuan appearance fee for a single season, which is about 1.5 million yuan per episode. Shen Jiaming's success today is all thanks to Director Zhang's support.

And then there's Jin Kai. He's been with the company for so many years, and if it weren't for Director Zhang's "The Truman Show," he'd still be stuck in the same boat. Now he's starring in Director Zhang's "The Spy," which he's invested in. I heard the script for this movie is super high quality. If Xi Meng had more acting experience, she would have wanted to put her in this movie to enhance her resume.

After Simmons finished her makeup.

Xin Lan looked at it carefully, then smiled and said, "Great! This kind of entrance tonight might just be a hit!"

This is nothing more than a word of encouragement.

It's certainly a low-probability event to become famous just by being a guest performer at a concert, but Simmons' back is indeed very beautiful, her waistline is gorgeous, and her skin is smooth and delicate.

Perhaps knowing that she needed to show her back, Simmons has been taking special care of her back recently, making it flawless.

Simmons's long, jet-black hair and beautiful dress were also simplified and cut straight.

"Thank you"

As Xi Meng left the styling department with her agent, Xin Lan, she thanked the people who had done her makeup and styling. Although it was their job, she still felt she should express her gratitude. It was just that she wasn't very well-off financially; otherwise, it would have been better to buy them some small gifts.

So we can only wait until later.

She arrived at the company's underground parking garage with her agent, where a van was already waiting. Her personal assistant handed her a cake and warm water that she had bought from a dessert shop as soon as she got in the car.

"Eat three first, then one more when the concert starts."

Xinlan spoke up to remind her.

"Um"

Simmons nodded.

Because she has to dance, she can't eat too much. It's just that there's still some time before the King of Pop Zhang You's concert starts. Otherwise, she wouldn't even dare to eat three cakes. If she ate too much and started burping while dancing at the concert, that would be terrible.

The time has not come yet.

As Simmons approached the vicinity of the Olympic Sports Center, he saw countless people converging on it.

"The hotels around the Olympic Sports Center have been fully booked since three days ago."

Xi Meng heard her agent Xin Lan's voice in her ear, saying, "The surrounding restaurants have seen several times more customers than usual, as have the food streets, guesthouses, and transportation. After the concert, you can check out some of the products that Director Zhang endorses. There are discounts today. This one concert alone has boosted the economy by over a billion yuan."
