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

She pulled her hand back and saw that there was some blood on her fingertips.

"Blood!...There's blood!" Tears welled up in her eyes, and her whole body trembled.

Chen Xingzhou felt both helpless and soft-hearted when he saw her crying her eyes out.

He propped himself up, touched the back of his head, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was only a small patch of blood on his fingers.

"What's the panic?"

"The bleeding is nothing!" Tian Xiwei's tears fell down her face, her hand frozen in mid-air, not daring to touch the back of his head anymore.

"Give it all to me... I shouldn't have thrown a tantrum at you, I shouldn't have kicked you, it's all my fault..."

As she cried, she slowly squatted down on the ground, her voice filled with self-blame.

Seeing her helpless look, Chen Xingzhou bent down and rubbed her head: "Don't cry, I'm fine. If I hadn't stopped you just now, something really would have happened."

But Tian Xiwei wouldn't listen to any of that.

The thought that she had caused Chen Xingzhou's injury by throwing a tantrum filled her with bitterness and shame, and she couldn't stop the tears from flowing.

She didn't know what she would do if Chen Xingzhou had had an accident, what her uncle and aunt would do, and what the three women outside would do.

Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the lounge door.

Bai Mengyan, Meng Ziyi, and Zhou Ye heard the crying inside and quickly pushed open the door and came in.

As soon as the three entered the room, they saw Chen Xingzhou with his back to them, and Tian Xiwei, who was squatting to the side with red, swollen eyes from crying.

Upon noticing the blood seeping from beside Chen Xingzhou's ear, his expression tightened.

Bai Mengyan was the first to react.

She quickly walked to Chen Xingzhou's side, reached out and gently brushed aside the hair behind his ear, revealing the slightly torn skin.

Her expression froze, and her eyes reddened slightly, but noticing the people present, she managed to suppress her emotions.

"Xingzhou...are you alright?"

"External injury".

Bai Mengyan glanced at Tian Xiwei, who was squatting on the ground. Her bangs covered her face, but tears were still falling to the ground as she sobbed softly.

Meng Ziyi squatted down beside her to comfort her.

Bai Mengyan didn't ask Tian Xiwei any questions, but turned to Zhou Ye, who looked distressed, and instructed her to bring over the medical kit.

The most important thing is to avoid people, otherwise we'll be trending on social media tomorrow.

A while later, Zhou Ye returned with a first-aid kit. "Sister Lu, let me help you a little."

Bai Mengyan nodded and began to treat his wounds.

Chen Xingzhou sat quietly while she treated his wounds.

He used to get injured frequently when he was just an extra, especially during the filming of "Princess Agents," where he was injured even more seriously. This time, it's really nothing.

However, since the injury was to his head, he didn't feel that the injury was very serious, but it might make Bai Mengyan a little worried.

Sure enough, her gentle voice sounded from behind his ear.

"Xingzhou, go to the hospital for a check-up later."

"Okay." Chen Xingzhou nodded, watching Meng Ziyi comfort Tian Xiwei.

Meng Ziyi squatted down next to Tian Xiwei, his hand on her shoulder, as if he didn't know how to comfort her.

"Xiwei, don't cry, your crying makes me want to cry too..."

Tian Xiwei didn't react; tears were still falling, but she was silent.

A while later.

Bai Mengyan treated the wound, while Zhou Ye put the iodine and cotton swabs into the medical kit.

"Ziyi, take Xiaotian back to rest," Bai Mengyan said softly.

Meng Ziyi pursed her lips, nodded, and pulled Tian Xiwei up from the ground.

Tian Xiwei shakily helped Meng Ziyi to her feet, her head bowed, not looking at anyone else.

As she reached the door, she suddenly stopped. "Sister Bai..."

"Um."

"sorry."

Bai Mengyan watched her retreating figure, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Go back and get some rest. Your eyes look bad when they're swollen."

Tian Xiwei bit her lip and nodded vigorously.

The door was closed, leaving only three people in the lounge.

Zhou Ye glanced at the closed door, then at Chen Xingzhou, his eyes darting around as if he were pondering something.

"Xiao Ye, you should go back too. Let the driver take you," Chen Xingzhou said.

Zhou Ye paused for a moment, then pursed his lips, picked up the medical kit, and walked out.

The lounge fell silent.

Bai Mengyan stood in front of Chen Xingzhou, who was sitting in a chair, and looked down at him.

The light shone down from above, casting a shadow on her face.

"What just happened?... I was so worried, you know?"

She sat down next to him, looking at the wound behind his ear with heartache.

Chen Xingzhou was silent for two seconds before saying, "She almost fell. I pulled her up, and we bumped into each other by accident."

Bai Mengyan clutched the hem of his clothes, her eyes welling up with tears. "Let's go to the hospital... I've already asked Hehe to prepare the car."

"it is good."

She helped him to his feet and they walked outside.

Halfway there, Chen Xingzhou suddenly said, "Mengyan."

"Um……"

"Thanks."

Bai Mengyan took his arm, a slight smile playing on her lips. "What are you thanking me for?"

"Thank you for not asking earlier." Chen Xingzhou hugged her even tighter.

If any of the three women, Bai Mengyan, had kept pressing for details about what happened, Tian Xiwei would have found it difficult to save face.

Even in the future, their position in the battlefield will likely always be at a disadvantage.

Fortunately, they were all very nice people and wouldn't be so aggressive.

However, what he didn't expect this time was that his physique had already been strengthened by the system, and his reaction speed was also fast.

It only hit the area next to my ear, avoiding the center of the back of my head and not my temple.

Even so, he still got injured.

Could this be the ominous sign predicted by the feng shui master?

To be honest, it's surprisingly accurate.

Or is this the power of Oda on set?

He couldn't help but think of the "General" foundation from "Chasing Jade," and the male lead in "Return at Midnight" having his relationship exposed on the fifth day, and so on...

However, none of this had anything to do with Tian Xiwei. She had always been diligent and hardworking; she was simply unlucky.

……

The next day, early in the morning, Chen Xingzhou arrived at the film set with Bai Mengyan, though he was still wearing a baseball cap.

I went to the hospital last night, and the doctor examined me and said it was a scalp laceration with mild soft tissue contusion.

Simply put, it's a superficial injury.

In the dressing room, the makeup artist noticed a small band-aid under the hat, where there was a slight bulge.

He paused for a moment, but didn't dare ask.

Zhou Ye stood quietly at the door of the dressing room, holding a thermos in his hand.

Tian Xiwei hasn't arrived at the film set yet. Last night, Meng Ziyi took her back to the hotel, and she didn't go out all night.

……

"Is the sound from your headphones working properly? Please let me know."

"Position number one is normal."

"Position 2 is normal."

"..."

Five actors sat in front of a computer, wearing headphones and holding mice, with a CS:GO training map on the screen.

The props team pre-recorded CS:GO professional match demos on each computer, which was arranged by the production team in advance with the professional teams.

The screen moves on its own, but the actor's fingers have to tap in sync with the screen.

Most boys at this age have actually played this game, but their skill level is another matter.

It would be best if e-sports dramas were more rigorous. Although the audience is mostly female, quite a few men watch them too. It would be bad if they were criticized after airing.

The previous life was changed to CTF, the visuals and dialogue didn't match, and it still became a hit despite all the things that happened.

Chen Xingzhou believed that once he perfected these things, the data would definitely reach a new level.

"Scene 4, Shot 1 of 'Go Go Squid!', Action!"

The clapperboard fell.

Cat Tree, who was lying in front of the monitor, suddenly frowned. "Lei Xiao, your DPI is wrong."

The esports consultant who was helping to adjust the equipment leaned over and took a look:

"Pro players usually use 400 to 800 DPI. Lei Xiao's wrist just shook by more than 20 degrees. At 400 DPI, that would have thrown half a mousepad. But his elbow didn't move at all, so it doesn't look like it."

The cat's tree called out.

The actors took off their headphones, and Xu Leixiao looked over with a blank expression.

What were your mouse settings adjusted to?

"Uh... the default seems to be 1600."

Cat Tree glanced at the esports consultant.

The consultant walked to the computer and adjusted the mouse DPI from 1600 to 400. 800 to 1200 DPI is the range for most professional players.

"Try again. It's a bit slow, but you have to use your arm to lead the movement. Just flicking your wrist isn't enough."

Xu Leixiao tried it, scribbling a few lines on the table. His expression was a little pained, but he still nodded.

Chen Xingzhou leaned back in his chair without speaking. He was quite familiar with these things and had also been cramming on them recently.

Seeing the mousepad beneath the mouse, he raised an eyebrow, turned to the cat tree who was about to shout "Start!", and called out, "Wait a minute."

The film set immediately fell silent.

Chen Xingzhou walked to the center of the field, behind Xu Leixiao, and asked, "What size is your mousepad?"

"Uh... four hundred and fifty times four hundred."

"Change to larger ones," Chen Xingzhou turned to the props team, "Change these to the QCK Heavy size, otherwise it won't be smooth enough."

"Okay, Director Chen." The props team quickly went to change it.

Chen Xingzhou returned behind the monitor and nodded to the cat's tree.

He immediately understood and picked up the walkie-talkie, saying:

"Scene 4, Shot 1 of 'Go Go Squid!', Action!"

This time, the five actors' fingers finally kept up with the screen.

The match ended quickly, and Chen Xingzhou sat behind the monitor with Cat Tree, watching the replay and looking for any loopholes.

"Senior... Sister Tian is here." Zhou Ye walked up behind Chen Xingzhou and reported to his supervisor with a complicated expression.

Although she wasn't there last night, judging from Chen Xingzhou and Tian Xiwei's reactions, it's most likely that Chen Xingzhou was injured because of Tian Xiwei.

After all, Chen Xingzhou is such a big guy, how could he bump his head for no reason?

Although she was hostile towards Tian Xiwei, she knew that Tian Xiwei wasn't the type to cry easily.

Judging from her apologizing to Bai Mengyan and her reluctance to see Chen Xingzhou, she came to the above conclusion.

Upon hearing her report, Chen Xingzhou turned to look at Zhou Ye, and she vaguely pointed to the back of a pillar at the edge of the film set.

Tian Xiwei stood there alone, wearing an oversized hoodie, the hood covering half her face, obscuring her eyes.

However, her nose was red, and she was clutching a cup of milk tea in her hand.

She didn't come closer; she just stood there.

Chen Xingzhou frowned, stood up and walked outside. "Director Cat, you keep an eye on things. Xiao Ye, take a look at the filming schedule for this afternoon."

"Okay, senior." Zhou Ye nodded, watching him slowly walk to Tian Xiwei's side, his eyes filled with bitterness, envy, and anger.

She had no sympathy for Tian Xiwei at all; what was the use of crying?

Why did you go early?

She could only cry when her senior got hurt, and couldn't even do anything to help him treat his wounds.

But she won't say it to his face.

She even envied Tian Xiwei, envying that even though Chen Xingzhou was hurt, he still comforted her.

All things considered, she was indeed the person who spent the most time with Chen Xingzhou.

But she knew that her position in Chen Xingzhou's heart was not as high as that of Tian Xiwei.

It's nowhere near as good as...
