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

Since the airing of "A Love So Beautiful", her number of fans has been increasing, and she now has 55 fans.

She wouldn't have dared to even imagine such a number before.

Her Weibo comment section has become a complete mess.

Is Chen Xingzhou usually fierce?

Was he as aloof as Jiang Chen on set?

[These low-key female students are the most endearing.]

Did anyone notice that Coconut's bio reads "Give me a bowl of porridge that will make me lose weight"? Isn't Chen Xingzhou just that bowl of porridge? His name even has "Zhou" in it.

Haha, you know what, I'm also from Beijing Film Academy! I saw Coconut in class recently, and she's definitely lost some weight.

Upon seeing the last two sentences, Zhou Ye's blush, which had just faded, suddenly returned.

She glanced into Chen Xingzhou's office through the gap in the desk, then quickly lowered her head again.

Then, suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him, and he quietly changed the character for "porridge" in his bio to "boat" for his Weibo side account's bio.

As for the larger size, she doesn't dare to change it yet.

After a while, she noticed that a new nickname had recently started appearing in the comments section: "Coconut".

Looking at the comments under these Weibo posts, most of them express their liking for the character Lin Jingxiao, while others inquire about her relationship with Chen Xingzhou.

As she looked at it, a smile gradually appeared on her lips, and she murmured softly:

"From now on... let's call our fans... Little Coconuts!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a system notification sounded on Chen Xingzhou's end.

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

Chen Xingzhou was deep in thought when he saw the system panel appear, and he was overjoyed.

He had been wondering when Zhou Ye's wish would be fulfilled right after the show aired, but to his surprise, it was fulfilled in just one week.

Upon seeing the reward, he almost spat out the tea in his mouth.

[Reward: Crafting Mastery]

[Effect: The host automatically masters the selection, cutting, polishing, and carving techniques of various jade (heart-shaped jade) and wood materials, enabling handcrafted works to be non-toxic and conform to human anatomy.]

"I'm fucking..."

Chen Xingzhou muttered a complaint.

He thought it was another cheat, but now, what is this thing?

It looks a bit frivolous.

He rubbed his forehead. Anyway, it's a skill, and it doesn't have to be that kind of thing. Doing some small handicrafts is not bad either.

He then lowered his head again and began preparing for the various agendas following the release of "Go Go Squid!"

In a few days, he will be going to discuss the contract for this drama with iQiyi.

Regarding the selection of roles, he can choose most of them himself, but he lets iQiyi choose the rest.

Moreover, he has veto power, and as long as the actors he chooses aren't too bad, iQiyi won't have any objections.

He still plans to make arrangements for Bai Jingting as the second male lead, but signing Bai Jingting is still not enough.

One is that Bai Jingting has always worked hard on his own. Even in 26, he did not sign with any other company and instead established his own studio.

Secondly, his drama "Rush to the Dead Summer" will be broadcast in June, and the character Lu Zhiang is much more popular than the second male lead Wu Bai.

As for auditions, this kind of drama doesn't require one.

……

The next day, Chen Xingzhou was woken up early by a phone call.

The caller was Meng Ziyi.

He rubbed his eyes, answered the phone, and mumbled sleepily:

"A juicer?...What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"A-Zhou!! What did you call me?!"

Meng Ziyi's voice came from the other end, filled with anger, and a little... smug?

"Ahem," Chen Xingzhou came to his senses, sat up, glanced at the time on his phone, and then remembered that he and Meng Ziyi had agreed to meet at the studio today to sign the contract.

"Ziyi, you're at the studio?"

"Hmph! That wretched A-Zhou! I won't argue with you about how you address me now, I'm downstairs at your studio, come pick me up!"

"Okay, wait."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xingzhou pushed open the office door and walked out.

Because "A Love So Beautiful" had just aired, he needed to keep an eye on it constantly, so he simply slept in the studio.

As he left the office, he saw Zhou Ye pushing open the door to the staff work area and walking out.

Upon seeing him, she immediately smiled and said, "Good morning, senior."

"Xiao Ye, are you going downstairs? Could you bring Zi Yi up for me while you're at it?"

"Senior Sister Ziyi?" A hint of doubt flashed in Zhou Ye's eyes, but he still nodded and reported what she was going to do.

"Senior, Sister Lu said she's coming to the studio today, and I was just about to go downstairs to pick her up."

Upon hearing her answer, Chen Xingzhou raised an eyebrow, hesitated for two seconds, and then waved his hand.

"Go."

"Okay, senior!"

Watching Zhou Ye walk away, Chen Xingzhou rubbed his chin, thinking that Meng Ziyi and Bai Mengyan probably wouldn't have any conflict.

Although nothing happened when the two met last time, Bai Mengyan must have sensed something was amiss.

After all, when fellow film crew members finish filming, they'll come to visit.

However, given their personalities, he felt there shouldn't be any major problems.

……

downstairs.

Meng Ziyi was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, wearing an elegant light-colored dress, her long hair casually draped over her shoulders, carrying a small handbag, and occasionally tiptoeing towards the elevator entrance, her pretty face showing a hint of temper.

It had been a month since she last met Chen Xingzhou.

She has been working lately and hasn't had time to visit Chen Xingzhou, which has caused her to have trouble sleeping at night and to feel hot all the time.

She has made up her mind again that once the contract is signed, this time she will definitely be a real juicer.

Especially after seeing Bai Mengyan become a viral sensation online recently, she felt uneasy.

And most importantly, she vaguely heard Zhou Ye say that about 30% of the cost of Chen Xingzhou filming "A Love So Beautiful" came from two bank cards.

She got angry as soon as she heard this; wasn't this the money she had given to Chen Xingzhou?!

She actually wished she could give Chen Xingzhou some money, and even more so, she wanted to keep him as her mistress and possess him.

But she also knew she couldn't do it.

But what kind of nonsense is this—using her money to promote Bai Mengyan?!

What's this called online?

ox……?!!

She's so angry!

Just as she was wondering why Chen Xingzhou hadn't arrived yet, she saw a familiar figure running out of the elevator.

"Junior Sister Xiaoye? What brings you down here?"

She huffed at Zhou Ye, who was rapidly approaching her, "Where's that person? Still hiding up there and refusing to come down!"

Zhou Ye didn't respond to her comment, but seeing the veins on her small hands, he was a little scared and whispered in defense of Chen Xingzhou:

"Senior, your senior has been busy monitoring the data and follow-up work of 'A Love So Beautiful' these past few days. He's been staying at the studio all night, so he's still a little sleepy."

"Staying overnight at the studio?" Meng Ziyi's anger gradually subsided, her brows furrowed slightly, and she said in a reproachful tone, "You don't even know how to take care of yourself."
