HuaYu14: Female celebrities are going too fast.

Today, Naza wore a loose top and dark blue jeans, her two slender legs crossed together.

Seeing Zhou Xun walking over, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief:

"It seems like there's something wrong with the film crew?"

"What's wrong?" Zhou Xun asked, sitting down next to Za.

"It seems that an actor suddenly fainted while exercising yesterday and is still in the hospital receiving emergency treatment."

"Who?"

"We don't know yet. Xia went to inquire." Naza shook his head. "I just hope it's not my partner."

As if on cue, Xia, Naza's assistant, rushed over:

"Sister... Sister, we've found out. The one who fainted was Gao Yixiang."

The doctor said he had a heart problem, and with all the training, so…”

"Gone?"

Xia shook her head, took a breath, and continued:

"No, he's out of danger, but it's probably impossible to film the next scene."

Naza shrugged and said, "What I feared most has come to pass."

The prevalence of purple lips indicating heart problems is increasing.

Zhou Xun was also somewhat helpless, "I've advised him many times to go to the hospital for a checkup, but he won't listen."

"But it's good that he's alright."

"But your on-screen partner is gone, how are you going to keep up the act?"

"This isn't something I should worry about," Nazar explained. "My schedule is set, and I have to leave when it's time."

"Either the director finds someone to replace him now, or you can talk to my agent."

"Oh, okay." Zhou Xun understood.

"Shouldn't you get an agent too?" Naza said with a grin. "Want me to introduce you to one?"

"No thanks." Zhou Xun waved his hand. "It's all about fate when it comes to having an agent, and besides, I don't have the money to pay salaries."

"Alright."

Naza pouted. She originally wanted to say that she paid the salary, but then she thought, wasn't Zhou Xun just living off her?

Based on her understanding of Zhou Xun, he shouldn't be someone who likes to live off a woman.

Zhou Xun: (＊￣（エ）￣) We should get to know each other better.

Not long after Xia returned, Guo Jianyong arrived and went straight to Nazha:

"Don't worry, teacher, your performance won't be delayed. A new actor for Lü Bu has been found."

Naza was somewhat surprised. The person had only been in the accident for less than a day, and already a replacement had been found?

She was surprised, but her expression remained unchanged as she replied to Guo Jianyong, "I have always believed in Director Guo."

"Thank you for your trust, teacher." Guo Jianyong said with a professional smile, then turned to Zhou Xun, "Zhou Xun, come here for a moment, I have something to discuss with you."

Zhou Xun was somewhat confused, but after greeting Na Zha, he followed.

"Director, what can I do for you?"

Guo Jianyong led Zhou Xun to a corner and got straight to the point: "I want you to replace Gao Yixiang and play the role of Lü Bu."

"So I'm the new candidate?" Zhou Xun frowned, then smiled and said, "I'm just nagging about who I am."

Guo Jianyong patted Zhou Xun on the shoulder and sighed, "To tell you the truth, I had approached other big names before you, but they declined due to scheduling conflicts."

The excuse of refusing due to scheduling conflicts was just a pretext. The real reason was that there was too much time to hone the character, and they were afraid that the final product would not meet the audience's expectations and they would be criticized.

Zhou Xun did not interrupt Guo Jianyong, letting him continue: "I have read your short biography of Zhou Yu. It is very detailed, and your understanding of the character is quite good."

I won't let all your efforts go to waste. I'll increase the fee to 200,000 yuan, and you'll enjoy the same privileges as those big stars on set. How about that?

"OK."

Zhou Xun nodded and agreed to the matter.

Playing Lü Bu might be more suitable for him, after all, his "acting master" title was taken from Gao Yixiang.

Another point is that she has scenes with Naza, and it seems there are even intimate scenes.

"Good, I knew I hadn't misjudged you." A huge weight was lifted from Guo Jianyong's heart, and he laughed heartily. "Here's Lu Bu's script. Take a look. I'll send someone to deliver the contract to you at noon."

Is the role of Lü Bu absolutely dependent on Zhou Xun? Not really. He checked the company that arranged for Zhou Xun to join the production; it's under Fan Xiaopang's company.

Guo Jianyong wanted to give Fan Xiaopang some face.

"I have to go now," Guo Jianyong said. "Go back and study the script carefully. I have faith in the learning abilities of top students from Tsinghua and Peking Universities."

After Guo Jianyong left, Zhou Xun returned to sit down next to Nazha.

"What does Director Guo want with you?"

"Take a look." Zhou Xun handed her the script.

"you?"

Seeing the mixture of shock, joy, and excitement on Nazana's face, Zhou Xun nodded in agreement:

"That's right, that newcomer is me."

The smile that tugged at the corners of his mouth couldn't be suppressed no matter what he did; he could only cover it with his hand.

"If you don't want to act, you can talk to Director Guo, and I can vouch for you."

"From a supporting role to the third male lead, with a higher salary and more screen time, why would I refuse?!" Zhou Xun retorted. "You're not worried I'll hold you back, are you?"

"No, no," Naza waved his hand, then asked a completely unrelated question, "Have you ever had a girlfriend?"

"No." Zhou Xun was a little confused. "What does this have to do with filming?"

"It's okay, I was just asking."

Naza chuckled, her legs tightly pressed together; it turned out she was a little chef after all.

Naza laughed so hard she was shaking, but in Zhou Xun's eyes:

"Is this girl out of her mind?!"

"Um, I have to go now."

Naza made an excuse to get up and leave, as she had something to do back in her room.

Zhou Xun ignored her and went back to his room to study Lu Bu's script.

By noon, Zhou Xun had just signed the contract when his 120,000 yuan payment arrived in his account.

They even moved his room to the eighth floor, so he could stay on the same floor as Naza.

In the afternoon, Guo Jianyong pulled him into the photography studio for a quick practice session on fighting moves.

"Zhou Yu doesn't have any fighting scenes, but Lü Bu does." Guo Jianyong held the halberd handle in his hand. "I'll demonstrate once, and you can imitate it and fight once more."

[Ding, card "Combat Mastery - Red" detected.]

[Is it extracted? 】

"Draw! Equipment."

After Guo Jianyong finished his routine, he handed the halberd handle to Zhou Xun, saying, "Here, you do it once."

The halberd is not very heavy, weighing about six or seven pounds.

Zhou Xun lifted the halberd handle and performed a complete set of moves. Finally, with his arm parallel to the halberd handle, he held the halberd in mid-air, pointing it at Naza.

Naza stared wide-eyed at the tip of the halberd before him:

Are you trying to kill your wife?

Zhou Xun hurriedly put away his halberd and apologized, "I was so engrossed in the fight that I didn't see you coming."

Naza patted his chest. "It's okay, it's okay."

Guo Jianyong, standing to the side, was completely stunned. He stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Xun's shoulder:

"Have you studied halberd techniques before?"

"No, this is my first time learning. Please point out any mistakes I made, Director."

"That was a great play."

Guo Jianyong was speechless. So this is the learning ability of top students from Tsinghua and Peking Universities?

After only a small section was demonstrated, students were able to apply the knowledge to other situations and perform a complete set of halberd techniques.

The academic elites from Tsinghua and Peking Universities are truly terrifying!

Guo Jianyong snapped out of his daze: "Then I don't have anything else to teach you. You and that guy Zha Lian should practice your acting!"

"OK."

Zhou Xun, holding the halberd handle, sat down with Naza in the rest area.

Where do we begin?

"Let's start with kissing scenes."
