Chapter 190 I also want to use dopamine biotherapy

Zhou Le slept in a daze.

After falling asleep, he only felt that he was sweating and his body was in pain all over, but sleepiness still overcame the pain.

But while sleeping, he felt like something was pressing on him. He opened his eyes and saw that Tian Xiwei was lying next to him without a blanket, and one leg was on his stomach.

I wanted to raise my hand to move it away, but I had no strength left in my body and was unable to move for a moment.

"How can you be so heavy when you look so thin?"

However, Zhou Le's actions still woke Tian Xiwei up.

"Brother Le, you're awake."

When Tian Xiwei opened her eyes, she saw Zhou Le staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.

At the same time, his hands were on his legs.

Because Zhou Le was so weak, Tian Xiwei didn't feel that Zhou Le was touching her, but rather it felt more like a caress.

He quickly pulled his legs back and covered himself with the quilt, leaving only his head exposed, blinking his eyes as he looked at Zhou Le.

"Brother Le, this isn't good. We just came last night. If we continue, I'm afraid your body won't be able to handle it."

Zhou Le: “.”

Zhou Le looked at Xiaotian who was lying beside him. He was curled up in the quilt like a freshly shelled almond, with his hair a little messy. Xiaotian was not sleeping very well.

All the complaints I wanted to say disappeared in an instant.

Instead, he forced a smile and said in a hoarse voice, "A man shouldn't say he's incapable or that his body can't handle it. Is that an adjective that can be applied to me?"

Tian Xiwei became interested when she heard this: "Brother Le, you didn't know that I was sitting on the sofa yesterday, but you suddenly ran out to drink water. I felt you and found out you had a fever.

I took some medicine and put a cool towel on your forehead, but you kept talking nonsense for a while and suddenly asked me if I wanted to try 36.8 degrees.

"Did I say that?"

Zhou Le didn’t remember much of this, he only remembered that he felt very uncomfortable yesterday and his whole body was hot.

"Of course you did."

"That"

"So I tried it later and found that it was indeed much hotter than usual, just like a small fire stick."

Zhou Le: “.”

"You're quite capable of taking action. You're not afraid of me coming over."

"Hey, of course I always put your safety first, so I'll take your blood pressure while I try. Don't think I'm young and don't know anything. In fact, I understand everything."

"Then you should be praised."

After Zhou Le finished speaking, Tian Xiwei immediately stood up again. The curtains were drawn now, so she had nothing to worry about.

So he got down from the other side, put on his slippers, and walked around to Zhou Le's bedside to get the thermometer.

"Brother Le, take your temperature again. Eat something first, and then take your morning medicine."

Zhou Le felt his heart beating fast.

But I don’t know if it’s because of illness or something else.

After clamping the thermometer on the right armpit, Tian Xiwei put a blood pressure monitor on Zhou Le's left arm.

After the test, the low pressure was 76 and the high pressure was 125, and the overall situation was still normal.

"It seems that there is no big problem." Zhou Le said.

"Yes, Brother Le, you are usually in very good health. This little illness will definitely not affect you. But I will pour you some more water."

After a while, Zhou Le drank the water but still felt very hot.

"Brother Le, don't move, let me take a look."

As he said that, Oda reached into the quilt and touched it, and found that it was still very hot.

"Brother Le, this fever won't go away so easily. Just take your medicine well these few days and don't worry about anything else. Just call me if you want to eat or drink something."

Zhou Le sighed: "Where are you touching?"

"Thermometer, but you still need to cool down now."

After saying that, Tian Xiwei posted it again.

I just ran outside for a while and I feel cool again.

Although Zhou Le was running a fever and in pain all over his body, and even felt pain when his skin was simply touched, Tian Xiwei's movements were very gentle, and Zhou Le only felt comfortable, as if he wanted to drink a bottle of iced soda, or as if he came home and put a hot towel on his face after a busy day outside in winter.

"Brother Le, are you hungry now?"

"I'm not very hungry now. I didn't have much of an appetite when I just woke up. The main thing is that I feel a little bit of pain in my body."

Tian Xiwei felt the heat on Zhou Le's body and felt distressed. Such a healthy person suddenly fell ill. Zhou Le always looked energetic, but now he looked so listless.

There are very few places full of life.

But now, apart from staying by Zhou Le's side, serving him tea and water, applying a cold towel to his forehead, and feeding him medicine, she had no other choice.

Just thought about it for a while.

No, it seems there is.

Sweating yesterday did have some effect, and Zhou Le's body temperature dropped a lot while he slept.

"Brother Le, I have a way to help you relieve the pain, do you want to try it?"

"What's the solution? Are you going to send me to the hospital for a fever-reducing injection? I'm telling you, I can get an IV, but I absolutely cannot get an injection. It's not that I'm embarrassed to take off my pants in front of the nurse, but mainly because I've been afraid of this thing since I was a child."

"Why? They're all pricked with needles, so of course it might hurt more on the butt, but you don't look like someone who's that afraid of pain, Brother Le."

"It's not because it hurts, but because I was sick once when I was in first grade. My mom took me to the clinic for an injection. After all, I was still a child at that time, so even though I'm used to it, I'm still a little scared.

So I started crying, and as I was crying, the needle suddenly stuck in my butt. At that moment, my muscles twitched and my lower back hurt.

I cried even louder, and they all thought I was crying because of the pain, and they comforted me by saying that it didn't hurt anymore. In fact, it was just that my waist hurt from the beating.

As a result, the crying became louder when I got angry, and I still resist this thing until now."

"Hahaha."

Tian Xiwei couldn't stop laughing after hearing this: "Brother Le, you are so cute. I really want to see you when you were a child. You are so handsome now that you have grown up. You must have been very cute when you were a child."

"Of course. When I was little, all the uncles and aunts liked me very much, including my teachers."

"I think so, but I'm not talking about an injection. You can do it at home."

"What's the solution?"

"Brother Le, you're a good student. You should know that when a person is excited, their brain secretes dopamine. Dopamine has a certain analgesic effect, so as long as you can produce some dopamine, it should be able to relieve the pain. This is a biological therapy I summarized from researching on my phone last night."

"What do you mean?" Zhou Le didn't quite understand.

You'll know in a moment.

Tian Xiwei turned over and turned on the blood pressure monitor for Zhou Le.

Then he ran out and came back with a wet wipe.

"Depth measurement initiated, do not move or speak."

"You..." Zhou Le was interrupted by Tian Xiwei as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Brother Le, don't move or talk, or the measurement won't be accurate."

Zhou Le took a deep breath and felt the cuff connected to the blood pressure monitor wrapped around his arm getting tighter and tighter.

He also felt that some dopamine seemed to be secreted in his brain, and some endorphins seemed to be produced in his body.

However, he felt that it was not because of these things that his body did not feel much pain, but because his attention had been diverted to other places.

"This blood pressure monitor seems to be getting tighter and tighter... maybe it was wrapped too tightly."

"Depth measurement completed: low pressure 79 mmHg, high pressure 128 mmHg"

Zhou Le breathed a sigh of relief. As long as everything was normal, he was fine. But after all, he was still sick and felt a little weak. It took him almost half an hour before he finally clung to the bedsheets.

"Wait a moment."

"It's okay, Brother Le. I took the medicine yesterday too." As he said this, he showed Zhou Le the packaging box he had opened yesterday.

Zhou Le ate a bowl of egg custard in the morning.

Tian Xiwei made it herself, following the steps online step by step. She didn't know what went wrong in the middle, but the egg custard she made was not that delicate. But after adding some soy sauce and oyster sauce, it still tasted very good.

"I didn't expect you to have such a skill. When the company grows bigger, I'll organize a food variety show just for you."

"Okay, but I can only make some simple stir-fries or something like that. I'm not really interested in cooking. At most, I can make a soup. Compared to that, I still prefer baking and making small desserts in the oven."

"Okay, you can do whatever you want."

Because Zhou Le is sick, he will basically be unable to attend any activities from now on. It’s not that he can’t hold on, but mainly because he is afraid of being infected.

Just when Zhou Le was almost recovered, Tian Xiwei finally fell ill.

"Look at you, what did I say? I was fine, and now you're gone."

Tian Xiwei felt the cool towel on his forehead, forced a smile and said, "Brother Le, I don't think I'm fine. I just have a slight fever and feel dizzy. You've been lying down for several days, so you must have a lot of things accumulated. I'll ask my assistant to book two plane tickets. Brother Le, where are you going to work next? Anyway, I have to go back to Hengdian first."

Zhou Le sighed: "Why are you going back to Hengdian? Just stay here and take good care of yourself. If Yu Zheng is really not well, I will tell you. At least wait until he recovers before going back."

Tian Xiwei still felt a little guilty, after all, she was embarrassed to let Zhou Le take care of her.

"It's really okay with me."

"Alright, I saw some people online saying they were working despite having a fever, but there's no need to worry about that. It's not a big deal. Yu Zheng is filming the same thing as everyone else right now, and there's no rush on 'Little Joy' either. Wait until you're well before leaving. Let's not talk about anything else."

Tian Xiwei could only lie on the bed, feeling her body growing weaker.

"Brother Le, what's my temperature now?"

"Your fever is 38.8 degrees, a little higher than mine at the beginning."

"Then do you want to give it a try?"

Zhou Le looked at Tian Xiwei, who looked listless. "Forget it. I'm afraid your small body won't be able to hold on. Just take good care of yourself and don't worry about anything else."

"Brother Le, but I also want to try dopamine biotherapy."

"What dopamine therapy are you trying? Aren't ibuprofen and Gankang therapy enough?"

Zhou Le is confident in his own body, but not so confident in Tian Xiwei.

Although Tian Xiwei has been exercising regularly and eating a lot, her physical condition is limited after all.

I can do it, but Tian Xiwei may not be able to do it.

However, Tian Xiwei recovered quite quickly. She was almost fully recovered after lying in bed for three days.

Afterwards, Tian Xiwei returned to Hengdian, and Zhou Le went to Guizhou.

"Joy of Life" still has to finish shooting the final shots here, but their shooting route this time is not according to the script. After all, there are several maps switching back and forth in the play, and they can't run back and forth between Yunnan and Guizhou. That would be too time-consuming and a waste of energy.

Now it is the last few scenes in Guizhou. During the time when Zhou Le was away, Xinli communicated with director Sun Hao again.

I decided to change the following scenes slightly.

So when Zhou Le came back, he saw not only the familiar people he had filmed before, but also Xiao Zhan.

"Le'er, let me introduce you, this is Teacher Xiao Zhan."

Listening to Sun Hao's words, Zhou Le smiled: "It's okay, Director Sun, we have known each other for a long time. It's quite fate. We were eating in different restaurants at the time, but we met in the corridor."

This incident was also a hot topic at the time. Sun Hao had heard about it, but he did not learn about it in detail.

As for the relationship between the two, he only knew that Xiao Zhan had also tried to win over Fan Xian, but they had already decided on this role a long time ago.

On that occasion, he also asked the publicity team that was in charge of the early preparations to post a Weibo post to clarify the matter.

"Hello, Teacher Zhou."

Looking at Xiao Zhan like this, Zhou Le thought to himself that it was no wonder that he was valued by Xinli. His ability to swallow his anger was truly extraordinary.

But after they got to know each other, Xiao Zhan ran to Chen Daomin again.

"I know you two had some grudges before, but I still hope you can film well in the crew." Looking at Xiao Zhan who was looking for topics to chat with Chen Daomin, Sun Hao also stood beside Zhou Le and reminded him.

"Director Sun, don't worry. I'm really not that kind of person. Life is life, and work is work. I can't let personal grudges affect the progress of my work."

"That's good. After all, I'm really looking forward to seeing your Fan Xian on screen."

After such a long period of contact, Sun Hao still thinks Zhou Le is better. Even if he has to do it again, as long as there is no strong intervention from capital and he can take the initiative of the whole play, he will definitely choose Zhou Le to play Fan Xian.

Of course, even if Zhou Le was not there, he knew that Zhang Ruoyun was also very interested in this role. If they really fought for it, Xiao Zhan would not be able to compete with Zhang Ruoyun.

After all, Zhang Ruoyun is a second-generation actor who is seriously involved in the Beijing circle.

Although I have fallen out with my dad, I still have uncles and other elders.

After chatting with Sun Hao for a while, Zhou Le also walked towards Chen Daomin.

"Zhou Le, you came at the right time. I just chatted with Xiao Zhan for a while and mentioned you. Since he has just started working in the entertainment industry and you two are about the same age, we can communicate more when we have time in the future."

Zhou Le laughed when he heard this.

Is there any need to communicate with Xiao Zhan about acting skills?

He felt that talking to Xiao Zhan was not as good as talking to Guo Qiling.

In the subsequent conversation, Chen Daomin was obviously more inclined to Zhou Le, and most of the time the topic was about Zhou Le.

This made Xiao Zhan feel very uncomfortable.

After all, the drama starring Chen Daomin is likely to be not too bad. If you can get the first role in this drama, it will be a great improvement for your career. But now Zhou Le has won the first role in "Joy of Life", and no matter his role or screen time, he must be at least 20th out.

The gap between them is huge.

Now the only thing he can do to comfort himself is that he is only making a cameo appearance in the first season of "Joy of Life". Even if someone is really able to compare with him in the future, he can still say that he did not have time, so he only took a cameo role.

And because of his guest appearance, Xiao Zhan only stayed in the crew for three days in total.

The first day we filmed the scene where the two met for the first time. This scene was a reshoot of the scene where Yan Bingyun was forced to go undercover in Northern Qi because of Fan Xian's assassination.

In this section, Yan Bingyun did not show his face.

After that, Fan Xian brought Yan Bingyun back from Northern Qi, and in the end, Fan Xian was stabbed by Yan Bingyun.

The schedule was very tight, and the two of them had a lot of rival scenes during these three days.

But Sun Hao felt more tired during these three days of filming than during the previous ones, because Xiao Zhan's acting skills were not at the same level as Zhou Le's.

Not even a little bit worse.

Originally, Yan Bingyun's character was actually very cold and cruel, a character who was so righteous that he was evil.

But what Xiao Zhan performed was simply facial paralysis.

This even forced him to change the script. In fact, he really wanted to be faithful to the original work and capture the essence of Yan Bingyun.

It’s just that Xiao Zhan’s acting skills really can’t hold up.

Later, I thought about it again and realized that the purpose of Xiao Zhan's appearance was just to complete the cooperation task with New Classics and attract a group of Xiao Zhan's fans, so I changed the script on the spot.

The changes are not too big, but under the Chunqiu style of writing, he has become a character that is easy to dislike.

After the changes, Xiao Zhan performed the role again, and it was indeed much smoother.

"Anyway, just treat this part of his as a point for the audience to complain about, and then let the fans debate it later. Wouldn't that bring in some buzz?"

Sun Hao felt that his plan was perfect.

Even by then, Xiao Zhan will be on at least two hot searches, one is Xiao Zhan's expressionless acting skills, and the other is Xiao Zhan's fans defending the real protagonist, and then increase the heat and create some hot searches, such as the entry about Xiao Zhan's explosive acting skills.

"Luckily, the role was given to Zhou Le. He has great acting skills and good looks. No one is more suitable to play Fan Xian than him. If it had really been given to Xiao Zhan, it would have been as terrible as the previous "Fighter of the Destiny."

While he was analyzing, Guo Qiling was standing next to him. Anyway, Sun Hao knew that Guo Qiling was very sensible and would definitely not spread things that should not be spread, so he just said it.
