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

Chen Xingzhou sighed, thinking that only this girl could pull off such a move.

After the group entered, Chen Jianjun also came out.

He nodded in satisfaction at Chen Xingzhou, then glanced at the two men over there who were genuinely smiling and talking, and said, "Want to come over and chat?"

Chen Xingzhou was taken aback, responded, and followed him to the balcony.

"You've become very popular online lately, that's amazing, you've made the Chen family proud."

Chen Xingzhou smiled and said, "Dad, just tell me what you want to do. You're putting a bit of pressure on me."

"You little rascal," Chen Jianjun turned his head, raised an eyebrow, and then said seriously:

"I told you before that the entertainment industry is a murky place. I am indeed very proud of your achievements, but you shouldn't do certain things. You should know what I mean."

Chen Xingzhou's expression also turned serious. He nodded and said, "Dad, you can rest assured."

Chen Jianjun glanced at Tian Xiwei inside, then looked away and said:

"I know you. You're not the kind of person who's casual, but you're not the kind of person who's old-fashioned either. What about your relationship problems? How do you plan to handle them?"

"I watched that 'A Love So Beautiful' movie you filmed. Don't tell me you have nothing to do with that actress."

Chen Xingzhou glanced at Tian Xiwei, then met her gaze. "Dad, don't worry, I'll handle it."

Chen Jianjun nodded slightly, his eyes flashing:

"I hope so. I don't really care who my daughter-in-law ends up being, but you'll have to handle things well with your mother. She really likes Xiwei."

……

Meanwhile, in a residential area in Chongqing.

"Sweetie, is this your boss? He's quite handsome!"

Zhou's mother looked at the phone Zhou Ye handed her and examined the photo of Chen Xingzhou.

Zhou Ye clutched the hem of his shirt, his face flushed, and nodded, "Yes, Mom."

Mr. Zhou took the phone, glanced at it, raised an eyebrow, and said in a low voice, "He is indeed quite good-looking, but..."

Zhou Ye subconsciously held his breath and clenched his fists even tighter, afraid that his father would say something unpleasant.

"Where is it? Sweetie, let Grandpa see it."

Zhou Ye's maternal grandfather waved to Zhou Ye, and Zhou's father immediately stopped talking.

Zhou Ye breathed a sigh of relief and immediately grabbed his phone and ran towards his grandfather.

She knew that her grandfather liked watching Jin Yong dramas, and he must have seen the Guo Jing played by her senior before, and he must have been very satisfied with him.

"Grandpa, here you go."

Zhou Ye's maternal grandfather took the phone, glanced at it a few times, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad, although he's a bit different from the Guo Jing I saw before."

He returned his phone, looked at Zhou Ye, and said, "By the way, I remember you've been talking about signing a contract lately?"

Zhou Ye nodded obediently. "Grandpa, I've told you about the things I need to pay attention to, as well as the size and achievements of the senior's studio. You should support me, right?"

"Of course," Zhou Ye's grandfather said with a smile, "I don't understand his grades either, but he's so good to my Tian Tian, ​​and your mother understands these things. She said there's no problem, so there's no problem."

"And your Lin... Lin Jingxiao! Yes, you played that role very well, Grandpa is very proud."

Zhou Ye's eyes narrowed instantly, and an undisguised smile appeared on his lips. He then ran to his mother's side, hugged her, and thanked her.

Zhou's mother gently rubbed her head, but Zhou's father seemed a little powerless.

It wasn't that he didn't support her, but he always felt that something was off about his daughter.

Who shows their boss's photo to their family when negotiating a contract?

Seeing his reaction, Zhou's mother laughed and said, "Sweetie, that's settled then. You can sign the contract when you get back. But Mom will have to take a look at the contract later, just to keep an eye on things."

"Okay, Mom, you're so good!"

"It's alright. Didn't you say you were going to make braised pork with kimchi for us? Let's see if your cooking has improved while the fire's still burning."

"good!"

Zhou Ye skipped and hopped into the kitchen, greeted his grandmother, and started cooking.

She only learned to cook a few years ago, but she loves eating the food she makes.

Because it makes me feel incredibly happy, and I feel like I'm living life to the fullest.

……

For the next few days, Chen Xingzhou spent time with his family, buying them some daily necessities and clothes.

On May 4th, he also visited Zhou Ye's home and signed an 8-year contract with Zhou Ye, guaranteeing her a leading role in a drama every 3 years.

5 month 5 day.

Chongqing Airport.

Tian Xiwei stood to Chen Xingzhou's right, glanced at Zhou Ye standing to his left, and frowned.

Thinking that Zhou Ye was probably just here for tourism, she said in a hostile tone in Chongqing dialect:

"Why can't I shake you off no matter where I go? Isn't it annoying?"

Hearing the voice, Zhou Ye knew Tian Xiwei was talking about her. He turned to look at her, his tone neither humble nor arrogant:

"Sister Tian, ​​I can hear you."

Tian Xiwei was stunned for a moment, thinking she had misheard.

Chen Xingzhou slapped his forehead, his face full of black lines.

He didn't expect Tian Xiwei to be so aggressive, directly criticizing him to his face.

But he really didn't think to remind Tian Xiwei about Zhou Ye's ability to speak the Chongqing dialect.

"What?"

Zhou Ye continued, "My mother is from Chongqing. I grew up here until I was five years old. I come back to visit my grandmother every year, so I can understand what you are saying."

She glanced at Chen Xingzhou, then turned back to look at Tian Xiwei:

"I came to Chongqing to visit my family, and now I'm going back to Kyoto. I'm not bothering you, senior. Besides, I'm your assistant; it's my job."

"Besides... haven't you been following him around the whole time?"

Tian Xiwei choked for a moment, then replied defiantly:

"Following me?! I'm his childhood sweetheart, I grew up with him, and I've spent countless times more time with him than you have. What gives you the right to say I'm clinging to him?!"

Zhou Ye raised an eyebrow, his tone calm, "You're getting impatient."

Looking at Zhou Ye's slightly indifferent face and sharp words, Tian Xiwei's face flushed red, and she took a step towards Zhou Ye:

"Me!...You!—"

"Alright." Chen Xingzhou pressed Tian Xiwei's shoulder, glanced at the two of them, and said, "Let's go inside first and then we'll talk about the rest."

Tian Xiwei bit her lip, feeling stifled.

She never expected that she would lose so badly in her first encounter with Zhou Ye.

But as she watched Chen Xingzhou's retreating figure, she immediately reached out and pinched his waist hard, twisting her wrist as she spoke fiercely:

"You jerk, you stinky brother, you broken ship, you deadbeat... If you hadn't warned me, I'd strangle you!"

This is all Chen Xingzhou's fault!

She actually got caught up in the information gap!!

If she had known Zhou Ye could speak Chongqing dialect, how could she possibly speak like that?!

Chen Xingzhou hissed, turned to look at her, and his eyes held a hint of... flattery?

"snort."

Tian Xiwei released her grip, letting out a lot of her pent-up emotions, and glanced at Zhou Ye beside her.

Zhou Ye's expression remained unchanged, but who was he putting that sour face on for?!

The flames that Tian Xiwei had just extinguished reignited, but she immediately realized what was happening.

Don't be in a hurry!

Don't be in a hurry!

Don't rush!!

Otherwise, this woman will have succeeded!

She patted her chest, feeling its soft elasticity. She glanced at Zhou Ye, then raised the corner of her mouth and called out to her.

"Hmm?" Zhou Ye turned his head in confusion.

Tian Xiwei puffed out her chest.

Zhou Ye looked at it, then looked down at his own.

She pursed her lips, turned around, and continued walking forward.

Tian Xiwei couldn't help but chuckle.

What the hell, a dead airport.

Xingzhou's brother would probably find it uncomfortable to hold her, so he definitely doesn't have any feelings for her.

On Zhou Ye's side, she gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

So what if it's bigger?!

Tian Xiwei has a good figure, but Chen Xingzhou is not that kind of superficial person.

She could be with Chen Xingzhou every day, knew his preferences, his daily routine, and what he did every day.

Tian Xiwei can't do it, how can you compare to her?

……

They traveled in silence and the three of them quickly arrived in Kyoto by plane.

After getting off the plane, the three of them rushed out and got into the car arranged by the studio.

Chen Xingzhou sat in the passenger seat and glanced at the two people behind him in the rearview mirror.

Tian Xiwei was staring blankly out the window, seemingly lost in thought.

Zhou Ye was looking down as he sorted through... receipts?

He looked her over carefully; there was a large box on her lap containing a series of receipts.

Movie tickets, plane tickets... they have everything.

Perhaps he was scrutinizing him too closely, for Zhou Ye looked up and met his gaze, then his face suddenly flushed red, and he immediately lowered his head again.

Zhou Ye hugged the box tightly, looking a little nervous.

Will the senior find out that she's organizing plane tickets?

She also placed the plane tickets for this trip with Chen Xingzhou in a special spot in the box.

It's a pity there's another one this time...

She glanced at Tian Xiwei beside her and pursed her lips.

Seeing Zhou Ye's reaction, Chen Xingzhou was a little puzzled.

However, seeing that the two did not clash again, he was slightly relieved.

……

Upon returning to his studio, Chen Xingzhou immediately began preparing for "Go Go Squid!"

Currently, the male lead is Han Shangyan, the female lead is Tong Nian and Bai Mengyan, the second female lead is Ai Qing and Meng Ziyi, the third female lead is Sun Yaya and Zhou Ye, and the second male lead is Wu Bai and Bai Jingting.

As for the rest, he left it to iQiyi to arrange, but he would also check them over to ensure the quality of the personnel.

His studio has signed three artists: Bai Mengyan, Meng Ziyi, and Zhou Ye.

The studio's framework has been established and it's transitioning into a company, but he's not in a hurry to turn the studio into a company.

Since "Dearest" is about to start filming anyway, it's good to avoid taxes again in a reasonable way.

Moreover, after establishing the company, he also needs to adjust his agency contracts with the three women, since their IP value will increase after the broadcast.

Bai Mengyan, in particular, while she may not directly become a top star, she is definitely a top-tier star.

……

In the afternoon, we met at the same private club where we had met with the senior executives of DeepBlue last time.

Zhang Wei sat opposite Chen Xingzhou, with another person next to him, Mr. Liu, the vice president of Tencent Pictures in charge of IP development.
