Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 506 The entertainment industry is a big deal! President Chen is great!

Xiangshan Qingqin, in the living room.

Having been sent to Z three times to make chocolates, the child has become exceptionally well-behaved, even when twirling on the carpet.

Of course, it's also possible that it became reserved because it starred in "Adoring" with Meng Ziyi and became a pet celebrity.

Chen Xiuru thought this, and then he saw Meng Ziyi walk over, pick up the puppy, and run to the opposite sofa to sit down, talking to himself in a loud voice.

"Chocolate, soon it will just be Mom and you left at home!"

"..."

Chen Xiu pursed her lips, finding Meng Ziyi's little antics quite amusing.

Seeing that Chen Xiu had no reaction, Meng Ziyi thought to himself: I've given such obvious hints, how come Brother Xiu still hasn't understood? It seems I have to give him a direct hint!
"Chocolate, Mommy doesn't have any work scheduled for the next two weeks, how about I take you out to play?"

Meng Ziyi picked up the dog and said loudly, "Let's go to Shenzhen for a few days first, I'll buy you roast goose to eat..."

"Hahaha!"

Chen Xiu couldn't help but laugh so hard she almost fell over on the sofa.

Seeing this, Meng Ziyi's eyes darted around, and she casually put down the tool dog, got up and came over to Chen Xiu to act coquettishly towards him.

"Brother Xiu, will you take me to Pengcheng for fun?"

Chen Xiu's laughter subsided slightly, and she shook her head repeatedly.

"I'm going there to film a movie. Are you going there to argue with Xiaotian?"

"Then why didn't you let me play the female lead?"

Meng Ziyi pouted, wrinkled her nose, raised her eyebrows into a V-shape, and leaned her upper body onto Chen Xiu's arm.

Chen Xiu tilted her head and looked at her: "I've already told you the reason."

"Hmm~~"

Meng Ziyi pursed her lips and continued to press down on Chen Xiu, saying, "What you said last time was right. After I finished acting in 'Qin Wang Po Zhen Qu' and 'Xuanwu Gate Incident,' my status rose. After 'Ashes of Love' finished airing, I also gained popularity. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to play a supporting female lead role again."

"Next month, after 'The Beginning' airs, have Yang Ming buy you some trending topics about your acting skills to try and get a nomination for the Magnolia Award or the Golden Eagle Award. Then you'll be number one among actresses born in the 95s. You need to maintain your status."

Chen Xiu shook Meng Ziyi's hand, not intending to continue the topic.

"If you want to come to the film set, just use the excuse of visiting Oda on set."

"alright."

Meng Ziyi pursed her lips into a thin line, glaring at Chen Xiu with a coquettish expression, thinking to herself: You just dote on Xiaotian more, that's why you don't want me to play this role...

Seeing her unwilling expression, Chen Xiu could guess without even thinking that the silly beauty was internally criticizing him, and that Tian Xinwei would most likely have a role to play as well.

Chen Xiu pinched Meng Ziyi's small round nose and said irritably, "I've prepared a lot of good things for you, and you're still so jealous."

"Well, I didn't say anything!"

Meng Ziyi's guilty eyes darted around nervously, while he continued to feign innocence.

Chen Xiu rolled her eyes and retorted, "Your expression already says it all."

"I don't believe you unless you tell me what I was thinking just now!"

"You're probably thinking about how happy I am with Xiaotian while filming in Shenzhen. Xiaotian chats with you on WeChat every day, bragging about it..."

"Eh!!"

Meng Ziyi's eyes widened, his pupils dilated, and he stared at Chen Xiu in disbelief.

"You can read minds! Does that mean all the things I think about can be read by you...?"

Chen Xiu pursed her lips speechlessly, thinking to herself: Anyone who spends time with you can probably guess your thoughts pretty accurately.

However, he clearly didn't intend for Meng Ziyi to know about this sarcastic remark.

"So, you'd better be extra careful when you think about me in your mind from now on."

"So what am I thinking about right now?"

Meng Ziyi pointed at herself, wanting to test the authenticity of Chen Xiu's mind-reading ability. In reality, she wasn't thinking about anything at that moment.

Chen Xiu stared down at those clear, pure eyes for two seconds, thinking to herself that Meng Ziyi must be in a daze at this moment, meaning her mind was completely blank...

Such an answer would be a bit too boastful and lacking in charm, so Chen Xiu would not do that.

"Sister Meng, you must be very curious about what resources I've carefully prepared for you, right?"

In short, three levels of guidance.

Meng Ziyi's mind, which had been blank, was passively brought to mind this matter after Chen Xiu's repeated prompting.

She blinked, revealing clear, round, and bright eyes.

"Brother Xiu, can you really read minds??"

Do you really want to know what resources I've prepared for you?

"Uh-huh."

"You take a guess first."

Chen Xiu's sudden turn of events caused Meng Ziyi's expectations to plummet.

She frowned in displeasure, twisted her body and squeezed Chen Xiu's arm forcefully, saying, "How could I have guessed? You were clearly making things difficult for me!"

"How will you know you can't guess it if you don't try?"

Chen Xiu narrowed her eyes, finding Meng Ziyi's affected and coquettish behavior particularly interesting.

Encouraged by him, Meng Ziyi's beautiful eyes began to dart around, and her brain, which she usually didn't bother to use, started working again.

Since Brother Xiu asked me to guess, he must have left me a clue...

Last time, he mentioned that Xiaotian was cast as the female lead in "Entrepreneurial Age," and then he brought up the issue of post-production resources. Then what happened...?

How could I forget?

Think about it, use your brain, you blockhead, get moving, get moving now... "Ah!!"

Meng Ziyi suddenly sat up, her arms tightly wrapped around Chen Xiu's. Her long, wavy hair, carrying the scent of cosmos, brushed against Chen Xiu's shoulder. Her face, brightened by the resolution of her doubts, was filled with surprise.

She turned around and looked at Chen Xiu triumphantly: "Brother Xiu, the resource you prepared for me is the novel you gave me a few days ago, right!"

"You guessed it!"

"That's right, I'm very smart."

Meng Ziyi smiled with great pride, her two rows of pearly white teeth giving her an enduring air of naivety.

Chen Xiu looked at Meng Ziyi, who was grinning foolishly, and a smile also appeared on her lips. She reached out and gently brushed her long, black, silky hair.

"This resource is for the most important show next year, so you need to prepare well."

"Hmm, I watched the beginning of 'The Beauty of the Nation,' and I feel like the female lead is quite similar to me..."

Chen Xiu suppressed a laugh, genuinely admiring Meng Ziyi's comedic talent.

He smoothed his long hair, his eyes glazing over for a moment, and said, "Sister Meng, I'm leaving for Pengcheng soon. Why don't you go back to the Northeast for a few days and keep Sister Qian company?"

"Uh……"

Meng Ziyi hesitated, but considering that he hadn't been home for the past six months, he could only obediently nod.

"Then I'll leave the chocolate with Sister Qian to take care of, and then I'll come to Shenzhen to visit you on set!"

"Ahem, it's for Xiaotian to visit the set, and I'm visiting the set while I'm at it."

"I know, I know."

Meng Ziyi shouted reluctantly, knowing full well that Chen Xiu didn't want to see her and her group of friends tearing each other apart.

Burying his dissatisfaction in his heart, Meng Ziyi narrowed his eyes and glanced at Chen Xiu's face, his gaze moving down from the straight bridge of her nose to her perfectly proportioned lips.

"Brother Xiu, when are you leaving?"

"1 p.m."

The answer given by the movement of his lips made Meng Ziyi quickly think and arrive at the precise time difference.

"There are still 2 hours and 43 minutes left, which is just enough time!"

After saying that, Meng Ziyi kicked off his slippers, let go of Chen Xiu's arm, straddled him with one leg, sat on his lap, supported himself on both sides of the sofa, and pressed his face down on him from above.

Chen Xiu felt strands of hair covering his face, tickling and cool.

My nostrils flared, filled with the scent of cosmos flowers, while my mouth tasted like spicy strips...

……

Shenzhen, Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

After having her bodyguard deliver her luggage to her room, Chen Xiu took her assistant Luo Shikan to the hotel's conference room.

When he pushed open the door, the creative team of "Entrepreneurial Age," who had arrived early, all looked towards the door.

Chen Xiu glanced at her watch: "We're meeting at 5 p.m. for the script reading and rehearsal. I'm not late, am I?"

"No no!"

Guo Fan was the first to react, stepping out from the crowd and coming to Chen Xiu's side.

"Mr. Chen, we just arrived too."

In fact, according to the rules of the entertainment industry, actors are required to arrive half an hour in advance when the script is being read.

However, it was already good enough that Chen Xiu arrived on time, so no one dared to say anything more.

Looking at Guo Fan, who had gotten quite tanned, Chen Xiu said with a hint of appreciation, "Old Guo, you've worked hard on the preliminary preparations during this period."

"This is much easier than when we were preparing for 'The Wandering Earth'."

Guo Fan waved his hand, thinking to himself: What's so hard about it? The actors are all obedient and no one dares to act like a big shot. The production budget is more than enough, and Tencent has taken care of all the filming location issues. In all my years as a director, I've never fought such a well-funded battle!
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Chen Xiu, led by Guo Fan, walked towards the main creative team.

They had only gone halfway, and they estimated the distance to be about 5 or 6 meters, when Chen Xiu and Guo Fan suddenly heard a greeting from one of the actors.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Chen!"

Huang Xiaoming flashed his signature smile and raised his hand to Chen Xiu.

Before Chen Xiu could respond, another voice, not to be outdone, rang out.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Chen!"

Brother Hu raised his hand and took two steps forward, showing Chen Xiu his tanned arms with their layered colors and his face, which was at least two shades darker.

Chen Xiu and Guo Fan exchanged a knowing glance, both feeling that the two were incredibly in sync.

Just as Chen Xiu was about to walk into the crowd to respond to the greeting, a third, hesitant, and stammering greeting rang out.

"Hello, Mr. Chen."

After shaving his face and applying hair gel, Wang Chuanjun smiled awkwardly, but he didn't regret taking the initiative to ingratiate himself with the greeting.

His reason for doing this was simple, and he even dared to assert that Huang Xiaoming and Brother Hu probably shared the same thoughts.

The idea behind this is that after TikTok went public, Chen Xiu's net worth increased significantly, especially after his investment in Xiaomi last week, which made people in the entertainment industry realize his status and capital.

Given their vastly different social standing, they were fortunate enough to act in a movie with Chen Xiu, so they had no choice but to seize the opportunity to prove themselves!

Don't miss this opportunity! First impressions on the film crew are crucial!
It is precisely because they consider that they may gain a lot with little effort that these life strategists in the entertainment industry dare to throw away their dignity without any scruples!

Chen Xiu's gaze shifted back and forth between the three of them, her expression revealing a profound meaning.

Just as he was about to respond.

The fourth one, with a sweet and soft voice, still beat her to it.

"Hello, Mr. Chen!!"
