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

After sending the message, she opened the comment section on her Weibo homepage, which was full of apologies from netizens and comments from people who had become fans.

She rubbed her fingers against the couple's bracelet on her wrist, her face full of smiles.

A moment later, Chen Xingzhou called, his voice gentle: "Did you see it?"

"I saw it! I saw it!" Meng Ziyi's voice was full of pride. "I knew I was right! You're amazing, A-Zhou, you made me wait until today, and it really turned out the other way!"

Chen Xingzhou smiled, not immediately pointing out his own contributions, but simply echoing her words:

"Okay, don't be so willful in the future. Think things through more often, okay?"

"Okay!" Meng Ziyi nodded obediently. "I'll listen to whatever you say from now on. If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west!"

"Okay, I'll head to the film set now; the movie isn't finished filming yet."

"A-Zhou... I want to come see you. I'd like to come see you this afternoon."

"Don't rush. Take these next few days to handle things properly. I'll be finishing filming in a few days, and then we'll meet at your villa in Kyoto."

"Alright then... whatever you say!"

……

Three days later, Meng Ziyi calmed down completely after reading the comments online.

She leaned comfortably against the headboard, a bright smile on her lips.

If there were still people criticizing her three days ago even after she clarified the situation, now there are almost none.

But at this moment, she carefully considered what had happened.

Only then did I realize something was wrong.

She went through all the clarification videos and press releases online one by one and was shocked to find that the first batch of content to break out and the most impactful was the one that had the most impact.

They all originated from marketing accounts and entertainment media outlets under the same media company.

The release times overlapped significantly, and the wording, layout, and editing style were almost identical, as if it had been pre-arranged.

The bloggers and content creators who followed suit and spoke out were all taking advantage of this wave of popularity to gradually repost and provide secondary interpretations.

It was only then that she realized the truth had come out; it wasn't that netizens had seen through her at all.

Instead, someone was helping her.

She opened her chat history with Chen Xingzhou from four days ago.

Don't cry, go to sleep first, and check Weibo tomorrow.

At that moment, she finally understood that Chen Xingzhou had been helping her behind the scenes.

At the time, she thought Chen Xingzhou was just trying to comfort her, foolishly believing that everything was a coincidence.

Chen Xingzhou had warned her before not to be too willful, but she still couldn't control herself and caused a big disaster.

Instead of criticizing, he spent money and connections to contact the media, arrange press releases, and release the complete materials.

He quietly smoothed over all her problems and never mentioned it from beginning to end.

Her heart skipped a beat, and her nose stung with tears.

The previous feeling of ease and joy was instantly replaced by overwhelming guilt and burning emotion.

She curled up, her fingers gripping the couple's bracelet tightly on her wrist, her eyes reddening and tears welling up inside.

She considered flying to Hengdian to find Chen Xingzhou, but remembering his previous instructions, she changed her mind.

After crying for a while, she silently stood up and booked a flight to Kyoto.

……

In Hengdian, Chen Xingzhou looked at Weibo and nodded in satisfaction.

He knew this was easy to resolve, mainly because it was just malicious editing, and all he needed to do was generate some buzz to clarify the situation.

He spent over 100,000 yuan in total, but it was all worth it.

For Meng Ziyi, who is obsessed with love, the fact that he not only stayed with her during her darkest moment but also saved her speaks volumes.

Perhaps he has some influence, but he has nothing to do, no manipulation, and no scheming.

It can only be said that it was fate.

Putting away his phone, Chen Xingzhou looked up and saw Li Lin standing at the door of the dressing room.

"Sister Lin, are we ready to start filming?"

"Okay." Li Qin nodded. "I'll wait for you outside."

"OK."

After the makeup artist finished the last bit of makeup, Chen Xingzhou and Li Lin headed to the filming location.

Today is Chen Xingzhou and Li Lin's final scene.

The story involves Yuan Chun disguising herself as a divine physician to treat Yan Xun, while secretly plotting to assassinate him.

Once the two were ready, Wu Jinyuan, behind the monitor, nodded and spoke into the walkie-talkie:

"Scene 660, Shot 1 of 'Princess Agents,' Action!"

The camera focuses on a room.

Chen Xingzhou lay on the bed with his eyes tightly closed.

A divine healer wearing a white straw hat and a veil is massaging him.

After the masseur finished his massage, she pulled a small knife from her clothes, her eyes filled with a mixture of reluctance and determination.

She bent slightly and approached Chen Xingzhou, who had his eyes closed, without making a sound.

Just then, a maid suddenly walked in from outside, and upon seeing the small knife in her hand, immediately shouted:

"There's an assassin!!"

As she spoke, the maid threw a basin of water at the divine physician, who was forced to deflect it.

boom--

Chen Xingzhou immediately realized what was happening and abruptly opened his eyes.

He rolled over, drew the long sword that was lying on the side, and slashed at the divine physician's veil.

Teng!

"uh-huh……"

The divine physician groaned, staggered, spun around twice, and his veil fell to the ground.

She had her back to Chen Xingzhou, covered her face with her hands, and looked away.

Upon seeing her familiar face, Chen Xingzhou was stunned.

Because right in front of him was Princess Yuan Chun, whom he had wronged the most.

At this moment, several of his soldiers immediately broke into the tent and surrounded Li Qin.

Chen Xingzhou waved his hand, "Get out."

The soldier glanced at Li Qin, then looked up to meet Chen Xingzhou's gaze, and could only nod, "Yes."

After the soldiers left, Li Qin trembled slightly, as if expecting him to say something, yet his expression was one of disappointment.

However, he simply said, "You can leave now."

Li Qin clenched her fists, her face expressionless, and strode out.

As she reached the entrance to the tent, Chen Xingzhou watched her retreating figure, his hoarse voice ringing out once more.

"Chun'er".

Li Lin stopped in his tracks.

"I'm sorry, please take care." Chen Xingzhou's lips moved.

Li Lin forced back the tears welling in her eyes, a strange smile playing on her lips. She shook her head and walked out of the tent resolutely yet slowly.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt incredibly heavy-hearted, as if these words weren't just something Yan Xun said to Yuan Chun in the play.

As she stepped out of the tent, Wu Jinyuan's voice rang out.

"Okay! Cut—!"

The assistant director shouted from the side, "Yan Xun! Yuan Chun! That's a wrap!"

Applause and cheers erupted from the crowd.

Chen Xingzhou walked out of the tent and met Li Lin's eyes.

Seeing her still looking sad, Chen Xingzhou comforted her, "Sister Qin, how are you?"

"It's okay..." She wiped away the tears from her eyes, sniffled, and went over to hug him.

"I just feel a little sad, like I've really become Yuan Chun."

Hearing her slightly sobbing words, Chen Xingzhou smiled and gently patted her back:

"How could that be? You are you, you are Li Qin, my Qin-jie. But if you want to be Yuan Chun, tonight..."
