Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 62 Visiting Sister Meng on Set
The filming of "Diamond Lover" took place in South Korea for about a week.

After 14 years and 15 years of successful filming, the crew returned to Shanghai to continue shooting the remaining parts of the TV series.

After completing the step of being completely honest with Reba, Chen Xiu's days on set became less boring, and he would spend every few days with her discussing tactical issues.

Neither of them talked about the future; they simply enjoyed the present.

However, Reba's fighting strength was really lacking, which made Chen Xiu feel that he was not satisfied...

In the second week after returning to Shanghai, when the filming was halfway through, Chen Xiu finally asked Wu Qiang for leave again after being "reminded" by Sister Meng several times. She planned to go to Xiangshan the next day to visit her on set.

"Asking for leave again?"

Wu Qiang glanced at Chen Xiu hesitantly, his attitude no longer as resistant as when he first asked for leave.

"Okay, please grant me three days this time."

"Okay, I'll talk to Director Chen."

Chen Xiu felt a little uneasy seeing Wu Qiang agree to her vacation so readily.

Why so fast this time?

"Hmm~, these past few days, the main filming has focused on Tang Yan and Rain, so you don't have many scenes. I'll go talk to Director Chen later and ask him to postpone your scenes. We should be able to free up some time in three days."

Wu Qiang was unusually cooperative in approving the leave, because he knew that if he refused, Chen Xiu would give him a reason that he couldn't refuse.

Since that's the case, it's better to agree smoothly so that both of us can save face.

Seeing that the other party was so cooperative, Chen Xiu didn't ask for too much leave.

"I'll leave tomorrow and come back the day after tomorrow. If there's any need for overtime, you and Director Chen can arrange it as you see fit!"

"Okay, go back early."

Wu Qiang nodded slightly, his understanding making Chen Xiu feel a little guilty.

Of course, the feeling of guilt only lasted for a short while.

After finishing his late-night snack and returning to the hotel, Chen Xiu had just finished showering and came out of the bathroom when someone used a room key to open the door.

Looking up, the figure whose face was covered by a hat and mask, sneaking in furtively, could only be Reba.

"Didn't you just come here last night?"

While drying her hair, Chen Xiu walked to the coffee table to get a hairdryer.

Seeing him wearing only a bathrobe, Reba bit her lip lightly, skipped lightly to the sofa, and raised her bright eyes to stare at Chen Xiu.

"Brother Xiu, are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Yes, I'll be back the day after tomorrow."

As she spoke, Chen Xiu handed the hairdryer she was holding to Reba.

"Anyway, we can't chat while I'm blow-drying my hair, so why don't you help me?"

"Oh that's fine."

After the tasks were assigned, the whooshing sound of the hairdryer became the only noise in the room.

Reba stood behind Chen Xiu, turned on the hairdryer, and gently stroked his hair, carefully drying the moisture.

After turning off the hairdryer, she suddenly reached out and hugged Chen Xiu's neck, leaning close to him. "Brother Xiu, after this movie is finished filming, will you ignore me?"

"will not."

"Really?"

"Okay, can you let go of my neck now?"

Being held like that, and hearing Reba say these emotionally charged things, Chen Xiu couldn't come up with a second answer.

"Hehe, are you afraid I might do something to your neck?"

Reba leaned forward to meet Chen Xiu's gaze, kissed him on the cheek, turned around, and lay down in Chen Xiu's arms.

Lying back in Chen Xiu's arms, Reba said with hazy eyes, "Brother Xiu, I want to continue tonight..." "Phew~~, this time, don't be a coward!"

Chen Xiu cradled Reba's little head and slowly lowered her head.

……

The next day, Chen Xiu, full of energy, called Wei Feng and Xiong Ben, and headed straight for Xiangshan in Ningbo.

Sitting in the car, Chen Xiu first called Lu Chuanwei, the CEO of Kuaidi, and then contacted Cheng Lidong, the chairman of Zhejiang Yongle Film Industry, through his network of connections.

Both companies are headquartered in Hangzhou, so they must have mutual friends who can contact each other...

After introducing herself, Chen Xiu learned that Cheng Lidong was also at Xiangshan Film and Television City, overseeing the film "God of War Zhao Zilong," which had just started filming two weeks prior.

By chance, Chen Xiu ran into the other party and took the opportunity to invite them to lunch. She planned to explain her situation with Meng Ziyi to him first, and then visit him on set.

Upon arriving at the hotel in Xiangshan Film and Television City, Chen Xiu met Cheng Lidong in the pre-arranged private room.

Looking at the refined and cultured middle-aged man in front of her, Chen Xiu took the initiative to extend her hand to him.

"Mr. Cheng, hello, I am Chen Xiu."

"Mr. Chen, you are much younger than I imagined!"

Cheng Lidong held Chen Xiu's hand, making no attempt to hide his surprise at Chen Xiu's age.

In the past, when representing Didi to discuss work and attract investment, Chen Xiu often encountered situations where people questioned her age.

His answer was simple: "I was just lucky. The industry I was in happened to be booming. I don't know how, but I just succeeded without really knowing why."

"Haha, Mr. Chen is so humorous!"

Cheng Lidong's fake smile carried a hint of frustration.

These past few days, besides keeping an eye on the film crew, he's also been communicating with various actors and liaising with South Korean film and television companies to ensure they can arrange for the actors to arrive on set in a timely manner...

These things are already annoying enough, and now I see Chen Xiu putting on airs.

If it weren't for the fact that Chen Xiu could contact him through Ali Pictures, and that the other party was a rising star whose net worth was several times greater than that of Yongle Films, Cheng Lidong would have wanted to leave immediately.

"Mr. Cheng, I'm not joking."

Chen Xiu chuckled and retorted, "Personal ability always comes after the opportunities of the times. Otherwise, how can you explain how I, a college student majoring in performing arts, could succeed in the internet industry?"

"Are you a performing arts major?"

Cheng Lidong stared wide-eyed at Chen Xiu, realizing he had truly been fooled this time.

"Yes! I'm a senior at Beijing Film Academy, and I'll be graduating in a few months."

Having already pretended twice, Chen Xiu didn't waste any more words and went straight to the point: "The main reason I came here this time is that my girlfriend has signed with your company, Mr. Cheng, so I thought I'd like to meet you and let's say hello."

The more he listened, the more outrageous it became, and Cheng Lidong's composure began to completely fail.

"Mr. Chen, are you saying your girlfriend signed with my company? Signed with Yongle?"

"Yes, her name is Meng Ziyi. I'm going to visit her on set later."

Chen Xiu frankly admitted that his original idea was to let Meng Ziyi go into the entertainment industry to see what it was like. Even if she didn't become famous, he would support her in the future.

However, while we can gain experience, we have the means to do so, and there's no need to force ourselves to endure hardship.

Chen Xiu's purpose in coming to Cheng Lidong was simple: My people are with you, so don't let them suffer any injustices, and keep those ridiculous things away from her!

The act of showing off just now was a preemptive strike to make the following statement even more effective.

Coming back to his senses from the surprise, Cheng Lidong stared blankly at Chen Xiu, and also remembered who Meng Ziyi was.

"Mr. Chen, how about we eat and chat?"

"it is good."
