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

Wang Yanlin immediately dropped Yuwen Huai's sinister demeanor, rubbing his cheek as he leaned closer: "Oh my, I was so suffocated! Pretending to be a bad guy is so tiring!"

Just as Chen Xingzhou was about to reply, Li Lin walked over, lifting the hem of her skirt.

Her face still held the lingering charm of her character from the play, and her tone was filled with gratitude:

"Xingzhou, thank you so much. If you hadn't reminded me of the rhythm just now, I probably would have had to do another take."

Chen Xingzhou smiled gently: "Sister Qin, it's mainly because you handled it well. I just gave you a hint."

"But if you hadn't pointed it out, I would still be stuck in a rut." Li Qin looked at him: "I'll be rehearsing with you more later. With you by my side, I feel much more at ease."

Chen Xingzhou nodded slightly: "No problem, we can rehearse anytime, as long as we cooperate well."

Li Lin smiled and gave Chen Xingzhou a deep look before nodding and following her assistant to the side to touch up her makeup and rest.

Watching Li Qin's retreating figure, Wang Yanlin leaned closer and said, "Commander Chen, it seems like Sister Li Qin has a thing for you."

"What's so interesting about it? It's just normal conversation between colleagues on set." Chen Xingzhou glanced at him.

"Really? I guess I was overthinking it." Wang Yanlin chuckled.

He then changed the subject: "By the way, let me tell you something. The crew of the TV series 'Fighter of the Destiny' next door just started filming today at the Qin Palace. Their martial arts director, Lao Liu, is someone I know."

"He just sent me a WeChat message, inviting me over for a bit. We don't have any scenes to film this afternoon, so why don't we come over and join in the fun?"

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes?" Chen Xingzhou murmured.

He's very familiar with this stuff.

They spent hundreds of millions, but the film was mediocre.

Although Lu Han has the looks of a young heartthrob, he's a real man, but let's not talk about his acting skills.

Is Gulnazar in there too?

This is a good opportunity; let's see if we can fulfill her wish.

"Okay, I'll go take a look." Chen Xingzhou nodded in agreement.

Wang Yanlin immediately replied to Coach Liu, then put his arm around his shoulder and headed towards the Qin Palace.

As soon as I arrived at the door, Coach Liu came to greet me.

"Yanlin! You've finally arrived!" Old Liu laughed and punched Wang Yanlin, his gaze falling on Chen Xingzhou.

"This is my brother Chen Xingzhou, the actor who plays Yan Xun in 'Princess Agents' next door," Wang Yanlin quickly introduced.

"I've heard so much about you."

Old Liu smiled and shook hands, then stepped aside to make way: "Come in, it's just a break, just don't go too close to the machines."

On the film set.

The director sat in front of the monitor, picked up the walkie-talkie, and shouted a couple of sentences that could be heard across half the set:

"Naza! Get into character when filming starts! Xu Yourong is a cool and aloof saint, not a wooden statue!"

Chen Xingzhou followed the gaze and saw Gulinaza dressed in a snow-white saintly outfit.

She looked flustered and whispered a response in the direction of the director.

Wang Yanlin muttered in a low voice, "My God, have they been cursing all morning?"

Coach Liu also sighed, "That's right, this girl has it tough. She's constantly being attacked by haters, and she gets nervous whenever she faces the camera. The more nervous she gets, the worse she performs. It's a vicious cycle."

Just then, a familiar system notification sounded in Chen Xingzhou's mind:

[Ding! Detected female celebrity Gulnazar.]

[Current wish: To play the role well, avoid being criticized and holding the crew back, and successfully complete filming.]

Chen Xingzhou rubbed his chin, thinking about how to fulfill this wish.

Meanwhile, Nazha's assistant was frantic as she watched her artist flipping through the script with red eyes.

When she looked up and saw Coach Liu, along with Wang Yanlin and Chen Xingzhou beside him, her eyes lit up instantly.

She had just seen the promotional photos for "Princess Agents" trending on social media and learned about Chen Xingzhou.

To be chosen by Ciwen to play the second male lead in such a major drama, one must possess exceptional qualities.

She quickly walked over, bowed deeply to the group, and spoke earnestly and cautiously:

"Director Liu, Teacher Wang, Teacher Chen, I'm sorry to bother you, Teacher Chen, I've heard you have a particularly deep understanding of the characters, could I trouble you...?"

Could you give Nazha a couple of pointers? Just a couple, please!

Coach Liu chimed in.

Chen Xingzhou pretended to ponder for a moment, then nodded.

He followed his assistant to a corner under the parasols, away from the view of others.

When Gulinaza saw him coming, he quickly stood up and said, "Hello, Teacher Chen, I am Gulinaza. I'm so sorry to trouble you."

"Ms. Nazha, you're too kind. I'm Chen Xingzhou. I'm not offering any guidance, just my personal understanding of the character."

Chen Xingzhou pointed to the lines marked in red on her script and began to give her detailed instructions.

"..."

As Chen Xingzhou gave his instructions, Gulinazha's eyes gradually brightened.

She silently repeated these two details over and over, and the confusion and anxiety in her eyes vanished.

"I understand! I finally know where the problem is!" she exclaimed joyfully. "Thank you so much, Teacher Chen!"

"It was nothing," Chen Xingzhou said with a faint smile. "You already have the skills."

Hearing his gentle words, Gulinaza blinked, her affection for him growing even stronger.

Just as she was about to speak again, the assistant director picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted "Action!"

Gulinaza took a deep breath, nodded to Chen Xingzhou again in thanks, and quickly walked to the camera position.

As soon as the clapper sounded, she instantly got into character.

The director stared at the monitor, his eyes lit up, and as soon as the shot finished, he pressed the intercom button:

"That's it! Nazha! This is perfect! Keep it up, you can do even better!"

Gulinaza patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

After the director finished speaking, a system panel popped up in front of Chen Xingzhou's eyes:

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have fulfilled the wish of actress Gulnazar.]

[Award Awarded: IP Lightweight Adaptation - Specialization]

[Effect: It can condense a long novel into a short drama script, retaining the core emotional storyline and climaxes, while eliminating redundant subplots, resulting in a tight and fast-paced narrative.]

Upon seeing this, Chen Xingzhou's lips curled into a smile.

Isn't this exactly what he wanted?

After filming "Princess Agents", we'll cast Bai Mengyan as the female lead in a low-budget drama.

It can bring Bai Mengyan into the public eye, fulfill her wish, make him more popular, and help him accumulate capital.

It seems beneath him, as the second male lead in a hit drama, to go and film a small web series.

But he's more than just an actor; he's also the screenwriter, director, and lead actor of hit web series.

The difference between the two is quite significant.

However, he hasn't decided which drama to film yet, mainly because he doesn't have a lot of money.

During a break in filming, Guli Nazha avoided onlookers and quickly walked up to Chen Xingzhou, a smile on her face:

"Teacher Chen, thank you so much for today. Would it be convenient to add each other on WeChat?"

If there are any things I'm unsure about during the later stages of filming, I'd like to ask you for advice. I definitely won't bother you too often.
