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

"Of course." Chen Xingzhou took out his phone and added her on WeChat. "It's just exchanging ideas, nothing more than asking for advice."

Wang Yanlin, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.

After the two added each other on WeChat, Guli Nazha went back to continue filming. Only then did she approach Chen Xingzhou and couldn't help but tease him again:

"Hey kid, how come you're already hooking up with some girl as soon as you get to another film set? But you were pretty good just now."

Chen Xingzhou's lips twitched slightly, and he patted his shoulder:

"Alright, you've seen the excitement. Don't keep them from filming. Go back."

……

That evening, Chen Xingzhou sat in a chair in his hotel room, pondering which drama would be suitable for Bai Mengyan.

Youth campus dramas still have a large market.

He remembers several shows.

For example, "So Cute Us", "A Love So Beautiful", "Hello, Old Times", "With You", etc.

However, he doesn't have much money right now, so he can't film dramas with high production costs.

Fortunately, he can play the male lead, and Bai Mengyan can play the female lead.

No one needs to be paid.

As for the others, we can find a few classmates to fill in.

The things that cost money are finding an assistant director, buying the adaptation rights, and other miscellaneous matters.

Although his acting skills are not great, he can still manage to handle this kind of drama.

of course.

It would be even better if the system could reward this ability later.

But he still needs to find a good team and assistant director, such as Cat Tree, which he thinks would be a good candidate for assistant director.

Chen Xingzhou thought about it for a long time, until late at night, before deciding which drama to film and preparing to tell Bai Mengyan about it next time he saw her.

……

June 6th.

After the clapperboard sounded, Chen Xingzhou took off Yan Xun's princely robe and casually took the bottled water that Wang Yanlin handed him.

He picked up his phone and saw that tomorrow and the day after are the days when Tian Xiwei takes the college entrance examination.

A few days ago, Tian Xiwei complained to him that it was the first time Chongqing was using the national exam, and she was very anxious.

Chen Xingzhou didn't think it was a big deal.

The entertainment industry is basically full of those who slipped through the net after nine years of mandatory service.

With Tian Xiwei's abilities, even if she didn't do so well on the exam, she could still definitely get into the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

However, he still had to go.

He put away his phone, glanced at the crew members walking back and forth in the distance and the director behind the monitor, and immediately walked over.

Approaching Wu Jinyuan, Chen Xingzhou spoke sincerely, "Director, I'd like to ask you for a leave of absence."

Wu Jinyuan turned to look at him, and without asking what it was about, nodded.

"Sure, the next two days are for group scenes and supporting roles, your scenes are a few days from now."

I've approved two days off for you. Go quickly and come back soon, don't delay filming.

Chen Xingzhou paused, surprised that it was so easy. Could it be that the [Star Path Luck] was working?

Or did his acting skills win over the director?

However, he immediately nodded in thanks, "Thank you, director. I will be back on time."

He had only turned around and taken a few steps when he saw Wang Yanlin walking over, munching on an ice pop, winking and saying:

"Wow, Commander Chen, you even find time to be a chivalrous protector while filming! Is that pretty girl from Sichuan or Chongqing taking the college entrance exam? How thoughtful!"

Chen Xingzhou glanced at him helplessly and nodded, saying, "Yeah, I need to go back and give her some encouragement."

In the past few days, Chen Xingzhou often chatted, called, and video-chatted with Tian Xiwei. Over time, Wang Yanlin also learned that he had a childhood sweetheart.

Hearing the commotion, Li Qin, who was not far away, smiled gently:

"Then go quickly. The college entrance exam is quite important, and girls are prone to emotional instability. It would be good for you to go and keep them company."

Chen Xingzhou responded, quickly packed his luggage, and headed straight to the airport to fly to Chongqing.

……

In the afternoon, Chen Xingzhou dragged his suitcase to the building downstairs in the residential area.

As soon as I went upstairs, I ran into Aunt Tian, ​​who was taking out the trash downstairs.

Upon seeing Chen Xingzhou, her eyes lit up: "Xiaozhou? What brings you back? Weren't you filming a big production in Hengdian?"

"Auntie, I took leave to come back. I know Xixi is taking the college entrance exam, so I came back to spend two days with her," Chen Xingzhou greeted her with a smile.

"You little rascal, you're really thoughtful!" Mother Tian smiled broadly, murmuring to herself.

She had a good impression of Chen Xingzhou since he was a child. He was an outstanding student, acted steadily, and had always protected her daughter very well.

Tian Xiwei used to be bullied at school, and Chen Xingzhou always took care of her. He even fought with the people who bullied Tian Xiwei several times.

It's a pity that Chen Xingzhou always treated Tian Xiwei like a younger sister. Otherwise, given their deep understanding of each other and their shared love of acting, what more could be said?

The two talked as they went upstairs. After Chen Xingzhou came home and called out, they put their luggage away, carried some gifts, and followed Tian's mother into her house.

Mother Tian led him inside, smiling as she called out, "Little one, look who's here!"

In the bedroom, Tian Xiwei was sitting at her desk flipping through her notebook of wrong answers, her brows furrowed and her pen gripped tightly.

Hearing the voice, she looked puzzled and replied, "Mom, who's here? Don't tell me it's Dad!"

"Come out and see," Mother Tian said with a smile, keeping everyone in suspense.

On the sofa, Tian Xiyu, who was still in elementary school, looked up at Chen Xingzhou and called out in her clear voice:

"Sister! Come out and see! It's Brother Zhouzhou!!"

"What?!" Tian Xiwei had just slowly gotten up when she heard the sound. She immediately slipped on her slippers and ran out of the bedroom, her eyes full of surprise.

When she recognized the familiar figure in the living room, she said nothing and threw herself into Chen Xingzhou's arms, her voice trembling with tears:

"Brother Xingzhou! You're back? I thought you were too busy filming to come back!"

Chen Xingzhou looked down at her, then at Aunt Tian, ​​who had a big smile on her face, and patted her head.

"How could I possibly miss your college entrance exam?"

He raised his hand and patted her on the back: "It's just the first time using the national exam, right? Just do your best, what's the rush?"

The girl in his arms nuzzled against his chest, and his shoulders, which had been tense for several days, finally relaxed completely.

Just then, Mr. Tian came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of sliced ​​watermelon. Seeing the two embracing, he raised an eyebrow.

"Oh my, what a rare guest! Your little boat has arrived! Please, have a seat."

"Look at our youngest child, she's really strange. I've talked to her mother a hundred times until her lips are sore, but it's not as effective as one casual remark from you."

Feeling the sharp look and words from Tian's father, Chen Xingzhou awkwardly withdrew his hand from Tian Xiwei's back, looking helpless.

He really didn't know his father-in-law was home; this was awkward.

Why does this remind me of an old father? I hope I'll never be in that situation.

Noticing Chen Xingzhou's actions, Tian Xiwei frowned and turned to glare at her father:

"Old man! What nonsense are you spouting! Brother Xingzhou traveled all the way back from Hengdian and hasn't even had a sip of water yet, and you're already making sarcastic remarks here!"

Besides, I've always listened to Brother Xingzhou, so what?

As she spoke, instead of loosening her grip on Chen Xingzhou's arm, she moved even closer to him, like a kitten guarding its food, showing no respect for her father.

Mr. Tian was taken aback by his daughter's retort. He slammed the watermelon down on the coffee table, his tone bitter:

"Look, look, look! She hasn't even done anything yet, and she's already siding with us in outer space! I, as her father, have raised her for nothing!"

Mrs. Tian, ​​standing to the side, chuckled and playfully patted his arm, scolding him gently:

"You're such a chatterbox! The child finally came all the way back from afar, and you have to tease her here."

"Please sit down, little boat. Auntie will get you a glass of water. You must be exhausted from rushing to catch planes and high-speed trains all the way here!"
