Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 179 Using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, solving the problem once and for all.

Outside Guiyun Manor, Xiangshan Film and Television City.

Upon returning to Xiangshan from Hangzhou, Chen Xiu immediately contacted Meng Ziyi to tell her about her visit to the set.

Coincidentally, the scene Meng Ziyi needs to film today is the grand scene at Guiyun Manor where all the main characters of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" gather.

In order to avoid affecting the filming and to see each other as soon as possible.

Chen Xiu and Meng Ziyi agreed to meet at the outer wall of Guiyun Manor two hours before the start of filming for the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Famous filming locations like this can only be closed for filming when the production team is in operation. They are open to tourists at other times, so Chen Xiu was able to come here without any obstacles.

Following the location sharing on WeChat, Chen Xiu led Xiong Ben around the village, walking along one wall, and then at the next corner, she saw a pink figure.

Upon seeing that silhouette, Chen Xiu couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

Meng Ziyi, dressed in a pink outfit, stood under a camphor tree, leaning against the wall, rubbing a leaf between her fingers, pouting her red lips, looking aggrieved and dissatisfied.

After staring at Sister Meng for two seconds, Chen Xiu was about to go over, but stopped and turned around when she took a step.

Seeing that Xiong Ben had consciously avoided him and was resting alone under the shade of a tree, he strode forward with satisfaction.

When he got close enough to Meng Ziyi, Chen Xiu deliberately made his footsteps quieter. When they were less than 5 meters apart and there was no longer any way to hide it, he finally spoke up.

"Who dares to mess with Sister Meng!"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Meng Ziyi's lips instantly curled up, and his eyes shone exceptionally brightly.

But the next second after seeing Chen Xiu, she deliberately pouted: "Hmph! Besides you, who else can make me angry!"

"Huh? When did I learn the clone technique? How come I didn't know?"

"What kind of clone technique?"

"I've been in Hangzhou these past few days, so even if I wanted to upset you, I couldn't be there in person! Unless I mastered the art of creating clones, but if I really had that ability, I would definitely send my clones to work so I could come and keep you company."

As she spoke, Chen Xiu moved to stand in front of Meng Ziyi and reached out to stroke the corners of her mouth upwards.

"That's right! Although my sister Meng looks beautiful when she's angry, she's even more beautiful when she's smiling."

"laugh."

Meng Ziyi, who was already feigning anger, naturally found it difficult to maintain his posture under the onslaught of Chen Xiu's two witty remarks.

With a light laugh, and noticing that Chen Xiu was still wearing a mask, the formidable Sister Meng pulled him to stand against the wall.

Under Chen Xiu's questioning gaze, the Northeast Tiger Girl pulled down his mask with one hand, and with the other hand, she pinned him against the wall, about to bring her mouth close to his.

When it came time to stick the sticker on, Meng Ziyi, wearing flat boots, realized that he was nearly 20 centimeters shorter than Chen Xiu, and his mouth only reached the stubble on his chin...

Startled, Meng Ziyi blinked, inwardly marveling that her boyfriend's height wasn't exaggerated, while reminiscing about her own platform shoes.

By the time she tried to tiptoe to touch it, Chen Xiu had already grabbed her waist with one hand and supported the back of the silly beauty's head with the other, turning her around in a preemptive move and slamming her against the wall.

The longing of many days is finally relieved at this moment.

After they separated again, Meng Ziyi took a deep breath and exhaled slowly as she looked at Chen Xiu, her cheeks flushed and her eyes glazed over.

"So, why were you unhappy just now?"

Chen Xiu supported Meng Ziyi's slender waist and tilted her head to ask.

Leaning on Chen Xiu's hand, Meng Ziyi pursed her lips, frowned, thought for two seconds, and decided to tell Chen Xiu what had happened.

"When I was filming, I found that there were several kissing scenes in the script. I wanted to ask the director to use camera tricks or a body double to get rid of these scenes, but the director was unwilling."

"and then?"

"Then I wanted to go to the producer to apply, but the director was already there. He even said in front of me that the other actors in the crew were very hardworking and didn't use stunt doubles or camera tricks when filming, which made me angry..."

"Oh, is that so?"

Chen Xiu nodded nonchalantly, then kissed Meng Ziyi again.

"mua~, I'll take care of this."

"Huh? I haven't even said anything yet..."

"You should know better. Just act well later and don't let anyone find fault with your work. We'll wait for the results tomorrow."

"Oh~~".

Meng Ziyi's eyes crinkled at the corners, and he nodded with a sense of awe and wonder, thinking to himself that with Chen Xiu's arrival, nothing seemed to be a problem anymore.

This sense of reliability made her feel very safe.

Having agreed to Meng Ziyi's request, Chen Xiu had already made up her mind about how to deal with Jiang Jiajun, the director of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

A mere director doesn't require much effort. If Wei Feng were still around, or if Xiong Ben had already made a name for himself in the industry, he wouldn't even need to personally intervene.

Taking matters into my own hands is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

However, Chen Xiu didn't take this trouble to heart, just so that Sister Meng could have a more comfortable time on set.

After finishing their business, the two snuggled against the wall for a while longer.

Only when he heard a commotion in the distance and realized that the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was about to arrive to set up the venue did Meng Ziyi reluctantly let go of Chen Xiu.

But the next second, her eyes lit up as she pulled a small card out of her pocket.

"This is?"

"The room key!" "Hmm~, it's a bit retro-styled. If you give it to me, what will you do with it?"

"When we get back to the hotel, I'll just ask the front desk to get me a spare. The hotel the crew found is really mediocre; the walls are even cracked..."

After taking the room key, Chen Xiu did not offer any comment on Meng Ziyi's description of the living conditions as mediocre.

He had already experienced the living conditions in the film studio when he went to visit Reba. The hotel standards were all about the same, so there was no need to say more about things that couldn't be changed.

After saying "See you tonight" to Meng Ziyi, Chen Xiu pulled up her mask and turned to leave.

Watching his figure disappear around the corner, Meng Ziyi pouted and was about to turn around and go into the film set when she called out first.

"Hey! Tongtong, why are you standing behind me without saying anything?"

"Hehe, I'm watching you and your boyfriend!"

Standing behind Meng Ziyi, Li Yitong, dressed in men's clothing and wearing a head covering, smiled with her eyes upturned and said with a teasing look.

Hearing her words, Meng Ziyi paused for a moment, looked around, and said, "What boyfriend? I don't know what you're talking about. I'm going to film now."

"Hey, I haven't asked you yet..."

Li Yitong raised her hand to call out to Meng Ziyi, but before she could finish speaking, Meng Ziyi had already walked away quickly and followed the rest of the crew into Guiyun Manor.

This guilty-looking reaction made Li Yitong purse her lips mysteriously, feeling like she had unearthed a huge piece of gossip.

She was too far away to see clearly, so she only caught a glimpse of his back before Chen Xiu was gone.

Filming days are quite boring, and when a piece of gossip finally comes along, Li Yitong isn't going to let it go easily.

"I'll just have to wait until tonight to try and get information out of Mengmeng."

Li Yitong thought to herself, and with anticipation and a gossipy heart, she walked towards the gate of Guiyun Manor.

……

That evening, director Jiang Jiajun, who had filmed most of the scenes at Guiyun Manor, suddenly received a call from Lin Yufen, a fellow townsman from Gangcheng.

Lin Yufen claimed that she happened to be filming at Xiangshan Film and Television City, and when she heard that Jiang Jiajun was also there, she wanted to invite him to have dinner together.

Such mutual invitations among directors in Hong Kong are perfectly normal social interactions within the same circle.

Jiang Jiajun didn't think much of it. After finishing his work with the crew, he headed towards the hotel Lin Yufen had mentioned.

The hotel is very close to the Guiyunzhuang film set; it doesn't take long to walk there.

When he arrived at the corresponding room according to the private room number and pushed the door open, he was surprised to find that in addition to Lin Yufen, there were two other people he didn't recognize in the private room.

Jiang Jiajun first glanced at the burly man and thought that this person would be suitable to play some general-type roles in the film crew.

As he turned to look at the second person, Chen Xiu, who was chatting with Lin Yufen, also turned around and glanced at Jiang Jiajun from below.

Seeing Chen Xiu's actions, Lin Yufen also looked towards the door: "Oh my! Brother Jiajun, you've finally arrived!"

"Ah Fen, it's been a long time."

Jiang Jiajun greeted Lin Yufen in Cantonese, but his eyes remained fixed on Chen Xiu.

Noticing his gaze, Lin Yufen quickly explained, "Brother Jiajun, this is Chen Xiu, President Chen. I've worked with him before, and he's here to have dinner with us today. You don't mind, do you?"

"I don't mind, it's more fun with more people!"

Having already figured out who Chen Xiu was, Jiang Jiajun smiled with exceptional enthusiasm.

When he followed Lin Yufen to the dining table and sat down, Chen Xiu slowly raised her eyes and asked, "Does Director Jiang know me?"

"Hehe, I've heard of Mr. Chen's name before..."

"I've heard of you too."

"Oh?"

Jiang Jiajun blinked, a hint of anticipation appearing on her face.

Seeing his pleading look, Chen Xiu chuckled and went straight to the point: "At the end of last year, I called President Fu of Huace to ask for a role for a friend. This friend is currently working with Director Jiang!"

"Forehead……"

The look of anticipation on Jiang Jiajun's face had completely faded, replaced by a sense of uncertain tension.

Chen Xiu looked at him leisurely and continued, "My friend seems to have some misunderstandings with Director Jiang. Well, she's just a little careless sometimes, but she's a very nice person and has a very serious work attitude."

Jiang Jiajun's eyes widened, his expression shifting to one of panic and helplessness, realizing he had guessed the answer but it was far from ideal.

"Mr. Chen, who is this friend of yours?"

"Her name is Meng Ziyi. She played the second female lead, Mu Nianci, in the 'Legend of the Condor Heroes' series. Does Director Jiang remember her?"

"Hehe, of course."

"I just arrived in Xiangshan today. I wonder how she's doing on set? Is she alright? Is she causing me a lot of worry?"

Chen Xiu looked at Jiang Jiajun with a sincere expression and asked three probing questions in a row.

Faced with this unusually "friendly" attitude, Jiang Jiajun swallowed hard, and the smile on his face began to become forced.

"Meng Ziyi performed exceptionally well!"
