Huayu 16: I Became the Dream-Fulfilling Master for Young Actresses

Chapter 115 The Incompetent Wife Tian Xiwei, Li Yitong Becomes Tian Xiwei's Love Strategist

"Ready?"

"Yes, the name is 'Zhou Sheng Ru Gu'."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengyan's lips parted slightly, and her eyes blinked.

Meng Ziyi and Zhou Ye looked at her with envy.

Chen Xingzhou took everything in and continued, "And there's Ziyi too."

"A-Zhou! I'm here!" Meng Ziyi raised her hand, her voice excited. "Tell me quickly, tell me quickly, have you prepared a play for me too?!"

Chen Xingzhou stopped being mysterious and said, "I've prepared a period drama for you called 'Nine Layers of Purple,' which is perfect for you."

"Yay! Yay!!" Meng Ziyi shouted with her mouth wide open, and excitedly celebrated with the person next to her.

Zhou Ye helplessly hugged her, glancing at Chen Xingzhou every now and then.

Chen Xingzhou's lips curled up slightly, and he said, "Xiao Ye, you have a share too. Yours is a movie."

"What?!" Meng Ziyi and Zhou Ye's eyes widened.

"However, you are the second female lead, not the female lead. This movie still needs to be prepared for several months, so we need to prepare well for now."

Zhou Ye was not disappointed when he heard this.

Just the fact that she can act in movies is already quite impactful.

The next day.

When Chen Xingzhou arrived at the studio, he saw Zhou Ye grinning foolishly at his phone screen as soon as he walked in.

His lips twitched as he glanced at the people in the studio. There were very few people there, and Zhou Ye's office was originally separate, so it was no wonder that Zhou Ye dared to be so blatant.

Whose handsome guy's video are you watching?

He walked over slowly, looked down, and sure enough, he was a handsome guy.

He raised an eyebrow and reached out to take Zhou Ye's phone.

Her silly laughter froze instantly, and her body trembled.

Two seconds later, she turned her head shakily and saw that it was Chen Xingzhou. She felt even more embarrassed, but also relieved.

"Senior—I was wrong—I shouldn't have watched your video from last night in the studio and laughed like an idiot—"

-

Chen Xingzhou handed the phone back to her and then leaned close to her ear, saying, "What's the point of watching videos? If you want to watch them, come to my office and look closer."

Zhou Ye's ears turned bright red instantly, and he froze on the spot.

When did the senior start flirting with her?

Could it be that time before—

It's a little oily — but she likes it very much.

Could it be that he and Sister Lu have already broken up? Is it time for her to make her move?

It's a pity she couldn't go to the "Lovely" drama crew this time, otherwise she would definitely have taken the opportunity to do some good deeds.

Also, Chen Xingzhou only had Tian Xiwei by his side this time. Could it be that she got a good time?

Zhou Ye sighed softly and looked down at his phone screen.

Chen Xingzhou pulled up a chair next to him and sat down, asking casually, "What are the plans for today, Xiao Ye?"

He waited a few seconds, and when Zhou Ye didn't reply, he called out several more times.

Zhou Ye then came to his senses, his delicate face flushed, and he quickly picked up the tablet on the table, lowered his head and began to report.

"Senior, one of them is Yang Xia, the chief producer and screenwriter of 'The Untamed.' She's invited you to star in 'The Untamed.'"

""

"The Untamed?"

Hearing her say that, Chen Xingzhou stopped himself from teasing Zhou Ye.

Invite him to star in "The Untamed"?

This is not allowed, and he wouldn't dare to perform it.

Although acting in such an event can generate a lot of buzz, the aftermath can be very difficult to manage.

He also doesn't have that kind of interest.

If he had acted in "The Untamed," and there were any rumors or scandals involving him and Tian Xiwei or the others, their comment sections would have been flooded with negative comments.

He didn't think any entertainment agency could afford to offend those fans.

He shook his head. "Let's refuse."

Seeing that Chen Xingzhou didn't seem to have even considered it, Zhou Ye was a little surprised, but the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Okay, senior, I'll reply to her right away. (^0^)"

"Let's go back." Chen Xingzhou watched her fingers fly across the tablet, a slight smile playing on his lips.

This girl definitely doesn't want him to act, but she doesn't dare to say it out loud, which is kind of funny.

Chen Xingzhou waited for a while, and Zhou Ye raised his head again and began his report.

"Senior, regarding your investment in iKoo, we've already made contact and found an investment intermediary."

""

Chen Xingzhou nodded, pondered for two seconds, and said, "Then let's proceed as previously arranged and invest thirty million."

"Thirty million?!" Zhou Ye's mouth gaped open, his eyes wide as he stared at him. "Senior, you invested that much?"

"Hmm, I should have enough money in my account, right?" Chen Xingzhou asked calmly.

Aikucun is a brand inventory clearance platform, similar to Zhuanzhuan.

This platform was launched on the 22nd of this month. He invested 30 million yuan, which would give him a 9% stake, valued at 330 million yuan.

By July 2018, this valuation could increase sixfold.

In 21 years, it could increase 20 times, reaching a valuation of 66 billion. If he exits at that point, he can probably earn 8 to 9 million.

"That's enough, that's enough," Zhou Ye replied without questioning anything, adding, "I'll notify the investment intermediary later."

As he spoke, Zhou Ye swiped down the tablet screen and continued, "Um—there's one more thing: casting for 'So Cute Us'."

"The female lead has already been cast—Tian Xiwei."

"The second and third male leads have been cast. Wang Hedi will play He Jinzhao, and Zhou Qi will play Chen Zui. Senior, what do you think?"

"Wang Hedi was found by Cat Coach online, and Zhou Qi was recommended by the school. If you're not satisfied—"

"Okay." Chen Xingzhou nodded slightly.

At this point in time, Wang Hedi and Zhou Qi were both newcomers, their salaries were cheap, and their acting skills—well, they were passable, anyway, they were alright.

As for character, that's not important.

This is just a matter of needing someone to fill the position.

"Hmm, so now we're still missing a second female lead and a male lead. Senior, are we still looking for them at school like before?" Zhou Ye pursed his lips and asked.

Chen Xingzhou waved his hand; he had already thought about this problem before.

The second female lead is Zhu Jinxiao, a cold and calm academic genius with high IQ but a slightly clumsy personality.

This trait is very similar to that of a certain person.

That's Chen Duling, the female academic star in the entertainment industry.

"Choose Chen Duling. She should be available recently. Have someone go and talk to her."

"Chen Duling? Is she the actress who starred in 'The Left Ear'?" Zhou Ye opened Weibo and started searching.

After seeing Chen Duling's introduction, she said with a hint of surprise, "Senior, how do you pick people so accurately? You know so many people."

Especially women.

However, Zhou Ye didn't say it out loud.

Chen Xingzhou's expression remained unchanged as he patted her head. "Don't you know how accurate my selection is? That's it, go and get on with it."

"Uh-huh."

Seeing that Zhou Ye's emotions had stabilized after he rubbed his head, Chen Xingzhou smiled with satisfaction and returned to his office.

He believed Zhou Ye wouldn't have any complaints about choosing Chen Duling as the second female lead.

But since the female lead is Tian Xiwei, Zhou Ye will definitely have some emotional reactions, but that's not important at the moment.

Promoting several artists at the same time is something that normal people can't do; it's only possible for someone with the ability to create resources and generate revenue.

Once Joy of Life is finished filming, iQiyi will have made a considerable amount of money. Combined with his current funds, he will be able to prepare for several more dramas, which can be pursued simultaneously.

In this way, his business will only grow bigger and bigger, and the artists he promotes can also give back to others. The more they give back to the company, the larger it becomes, and eventually, the status of other artists will also rise.

Looking at the endless stream of vehicles below, Chen Xingzhou felt as if money trees were right in front of him, shaking vigorously and constantly bursting with gold coins.

After a while, he looked away and began to estimate the revenue of "Dearest".

His earnings this time mainly came from iQiyi revenue sharing, music copyright income, GG product placement, merchandise, artist commercial promotions and endorsements, as well as some other miscellaneous income.

The income from artist commercial promotions and endorsements mainly comes from Bai Mengyan's side.

Meng Ziyi and Zhou Ye aren't quite at the level to take on any high-end endorsements, so it's better not to accept them.

The total estimated revenue, after deducting taxes, is approximately 3 million.

Having calculated all this, Chen Xingzhou could only let out a sigh of relief, marveling at how quickly the money had come.

As for the company establishment, it has been handed over to the legal department and will be completed in a few days. The name will remain "一叶知舟" (Yi Ye Zhi Zhou).

However, it is [Yiye Zhizhou Film and Television Co., Ltd.].

Buzzing—

Chen Xingzhou was somewhat disoriented. Hearing his phone ring, he reached for it and pressed the call answer button.

Tian Xiwei's voice immediately rang out from the other end.

"Brother Xingzhou? Are you awake?"

"Xiao-Xiaotian? What's wrong?" He opened his eyes groggily.

Tian Xiwei's sweet voice on the other end turned into one filled with guilt: "I'm sorry, Xingzhou-gege, I woke you up."

.

Chen Xingzhou responded, "It's alright, I just woke up."

"You're lying," Tian Xiwei said, pursing her lips.

"no."

"It sounds so sleepy," Tian Xiwei chuckled.

"Alright, what do you want to say? Just say it."

"Okay—isn't the film crew about to start shooting? I've already applied to the school, so I can come to Kyoto tomorrow and go to the film set with you!"

As she spoke, her tone gradually became more agitated.

"Okay." Chen Xingzhou yawned and nodded slightly.

"Look—you're yawning again. I won't bother you anymore, you can go back to sleep."

"Hmm." Chen Xingzhou put down his phone and lay back down on the bed.

A few seconds later, Tian Xiwei's voice came from the other end again.

"Brother Xingzhou, I love you~"

Chen Xingzhou straightened the blanket, closed his eyes, and said, "Mmm, I love you."

After saying that, he fell asleep.

"Ah ...

Tian Xiwei's excited voice came through, but she quickly realized the phone was still on and immediately hung up.

She looked at the contact person on her phone screen—[Brother Xingzhou]—her big eyes blinking. She immediately pressed the phone to her chest and rolled around on the bed excitedly.

He actually said he loved her!

He said he liked her! Otherwise, why would he have kissed her before?

Tian Xiwei narrowed her eyes, reopened her phone, and entered Baidu search.

The search history above includes results such as: "How can I avoid reaching my climax too quickly?", "How can I reduce my body's sensitivity?", and "How can a wife satisfy her husband?".

There were more than a dozen similar searches.

Seeing this, she pursed her lips again and sighed heavily.

She felt ashamed of herself.

Her body is in such a state that she probably can't satisfy Chen Xingzhou, and given his position in the entertainment industry, he's likely already had something going on with other women.

Thinking of this, Tian Xiwei sighed, feeling helpless, like a powerless wife.

Suddenly, she saw a message pop up on WeChat, and her eyes lit up.

Li Yitong: [Xiwei? Are you going to the Xingzhou film crew the day after tomorrow?]
