"Ah..." Chu Zhaozhao screamed and woke up.
There was a cup of warm water on the bedside. Chu Zhaozhao hurriedly drank it and forced herself to calm down.
For some reason, Chu Zhaozhao always felt that this dream was so real.
Especially for someone who hasn't had a dream for a long time, the value of this dream is self-evident.
"call……"
Chu Zhaozhao took deep breaths of fresh air, trying to restore her heartbeat to a normal rate.
Chu Zhaozhao had to get up early to wash up because she had to go to Zheng Yuanjie's studio today.
"Zhao Zhao, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Chu Huaiyang got up early and prepared to go out, but unexpectedly saw that Chu Zhaozhao's face seemed not to be very good.
"Nothing, Third Brother, are you going to the city center? Give me a ride. I happen to be going to the city center too."
The two of them went out together, and when Chu Zhaozhao arrived, Sister Wei was already waiting for him at the studio door.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Sister Wei asked with concern.
Chu Zhaozhao's eyes were a little red and swollen. Although Chu Zhaozhao was wearing a mask, there was still obvious fatigue in her eyes.
"I woke up once in the middle of the night, but it's okay. Let's go in." Chu Zhaozhao took Sister Wei's hand and went in.
Zheng Yuanjie hasn't arrived at the studio yet, but everyone in his studio is already preparing for a meeting.
"This is your first time as the leading lady. Don't have any psychological burden. Just act steadily. If you have any questions, we will communicate with the director." Sister Wei advised Chu Zhaozhao.
Chu Zhaozhao smiled and pretended to be relaxed, saying, "Sister Wei, we haven't even started filming yet. We're just having a meeting together. Why do I feel like you're more nervous than me?"
"This female lead came sooner than I expected, especially since it's Zheng Yuanjie's debut role. With this gimmick, fans of the original novel will definitely buy in, and the box office will definitely be good."
Sister Wei spoke confidently, but Chu Zhaozhao felt unprecedented pressure.
It's not just because she is the leading female role, but also because of the trust that people around her have in Chu Zhaozhao.
"Teacher Chu, Director Zheng is already waiting for you inside. Everyone, please prepare to enter."
Chu Zhaozhao walked in with her assistant and Sister Wei. Director Zheng gave Chu Zhaozhao a bright smile in the middle.
"Zhao Zhao, let me introduce you. This is our screenwriter, and that's the costume designer. You can get to know the others later. We'll give you the script a month in advance. If you have any changes, please contact the screenwriter directly."
Next, Zheng Yuanjie's assistant gave a brief introduction to the shooting schedule and confirmed when the shooting would start and end. This meeting didn't seem to have much content, but it lasted for two hours.
"Director Zheng is worthy of being a writer. He takes care of all the details himself. Few directors can do what Director Zheng does." The assistant whispered in Chu Zhaozhao's ear.
Chu Zhaozhao nodded, digesting the densely packed notes he had made.
After the meeting, Zheng Yuanjie suggested that everyone go out for dinner together, and everyone quickly went to the restaurant.
"Zhao Zhao, you don't need to drink any other wine except Zheng Yuanjie's. I will help you block the ones that need to be blocked." Sister Wei patted Chu Zhaozhao on the shoulder.
Chu Zhaozhao also didn't want Sister Wei to drink so much. There were so many people in the crew, and one glass per person would make Sister Wei drunk.
"Sister Zhao Zhao, it's okay. I can also help you block the wine, so don't worry."
The studio arranged the seating so that the leading actors and the main planner sat at one table, and the seats were arranged from the most important person to the less important one.
"Oh, Zhaozhao, I see you again." Old Mrs. Zheng happily held Chu Zhaozhao's hand.
"I should have greeted you first. Please sit down." Chu Zhaozhao pulled Mrs. Zheng to sit down. The old lady was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
Chu Zhaozhao looked at it and said, "Where's Bubble? I haven't seen it for a long time."
The old lady explained to Chu Zhaozhao, and then was taken to Zheng Yuanjie by her assistant.
The old lady and Zheng Yuanjie stood on the stage and said some words of blessing before announcing that everyone could eat as much as they wanted.
The Chinese drinking culture is to hold up a glass of wine and see who can speak the most eloquent words. Although Zheng Yuanjie doesn't like this, he can't avoid others doing it to him.
"Zhao Zhao, you're the only confirmed protagonist right now. Shouldn't you offer a toast to Director Zheng?"
Some people started to make a fuss, and others also said that Chu Zhaozhao should toast Zheng Yuanjie. Chu Zhaozhao could only reluctantly pick up the glass.
"Zhao Zhao, you don't have to drink. You know our rules, so we don't need to do this." The old lady held Chu Zhaozhao's hand.
Fortunately, the drinking session was over quickly, but when Chu Zhaozhao looked back, she saw many people around Sister Wei trying to force her to drink.
"Zhao Zhao, I saw your parents in the hospital a few days ago. Is there anyone in your family hospitalized?" The old lady smiled kindly.
Chu Zhaozhao didn't know how to answer. She was curious. Since the old lady knew that Cheng Feifei and Chu Rong were her parents, how could she not know that she had nothing to do with the Chu family anymore?
"I just got back too. I haven't been home yet, so things at home..."
The old lady nodded. "Oh, you look a bit like your father. I recognized them right away. They looked upset, though. Maybe they went to visit your relative who's in the hospital."
"I think so. I'll ask them later." Chu Zhaozhao said with a forced smile.
The old lady was surrounded by another group of people. Chu Zhaozhao just managed to escape and walked to Sister Wei and the assistant. The three of them walked out together.
"Those people just now were really good at drinking. If it weren't for the brand, I would have turned against them a long time ago..." Sister Wei retched but couldn't spit it out.
Chu Zhaozhao patted Sister Wei on the back, but in her heart she was thinking about what the old lady was talking about and who the person in the hospital was.
"Zhao Zhao, why are you standing outside? We're going to shoot a video together later, come in quickly." The screenwriter said enthusiastically.
The screenwriter is a very delicate-looking man, and Chu Zhaozhao always tries to keep a distance from him when talking to him.
Sister Wei and her assistant were still sobering up outside when Chu Zhaozhao walked in. She just happened to see everyone filming a video, and after finishing it, Chu Zhaozhao left.
"Sister Wei, you and your assistant should go back together. I need to go to the hospital..."
Chu Zhaozhao couldn't wait to know what the old lady was talking about, so he quickly took a taxi to the hospital.
There are so many people in the hospital every day. Chu Zhaozhao found the front desk and went through a very troublesome procedure before he found the ward where Chu Rong and Cheng Feifei went.
Chu Tianyi's name was clearly written on the medical record. Chu Zhaozhao took a closer look and saw that it was leukemia.
Chu Zhaozhao felt like her brain was blown into a mess. No wonder Chu Tianyi begged Chu Zhaozhao to save her.
"No wonder Cheng Feifei wanted to know if I was back. No wonder..."
