Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 348 Meng Ziyi and Tian Xinwei face off, Zhou Ye observes the battle.

Yiwu Airport, terminal building.

After seeing the agreed-upon car and license plate information, Meng Ziyi waved to his assistant and then jogged over first.

As she approached the van, just as she was about to knock on the window to ask a question, the rear door opened a crack, allowing her to enter.

"Sister Meng, get in the car."

"oh oh."

The familiar voice made Meng Ziyi enter the back of the car without hesitation.

She habitually closed the door, and when she turned around and saw Chen Xiu, she rushed over to her, looking up at Chen Xiu.

"Hey, Xiu-ge, did you miss me?"

Chen Xiu looked down at Meng Ziyi's sunglasses and mask, nodded with a smile, and then had Luo Shikan drive back to Hengdian.

Meng Ziyi's assistants were all put in a car at the back to save space.

When the car started, Chen Xiu nodded and prepared to let Meng Ziyi sit down next to him, but what greeted him was a playful punch and Meng Ziyi's coquettish look after she had shed her disguise.

"Hmph! It's been so long since we last met, and you haven't even said you missed me."

Didn't I already say that?

"Where is it?"

"Yes, I have."

Chen Xiu looked down at Meng Ziyi, her lips moving slowly as she repeated the lip shape she had made when she nodded.

Meng Ziyi mimicked the words for a moment, then chuckled and got up to sit down next to him.

On the way back to Hengdian, the silly beauty talked about all the wonderful things that happened during the recording of the show, and Huang Sanshi's various "creative dishes" were an unavoidable topic.

Chen Xiu listened patiently, occasionally paying attention to details, which made Meng Ziyi even more enthusiastic about telling the story.

He wasn't just providing emotional value. As a genuine Northeastern girl, Meng Ziyi was quite talented in stand-up comedy, and Chen Xiu found it very interesting.

The two sat in the back of the car, chatting and having a great time. Meng Ziyi's already clear and bright eyes, with their upturned corners, made her look even more charming and adorable.

After the car arrived in Hengdian, the group went to the Spring and Autumn Tang Garden, where "The Xuanwu Gate Incident" was filmed.

Chen Xiu casually called over an executive producer and asked her to take Meng Ziyi to the women's dressing room to put on makeup and costumes, in preparation for filming.

This scene wouldn't have been anything special, but unfortunately, Tian Xinwei and Zhou Ye happened to walk over from another place at that moment.

When they saw Chen Xiu and Meng Ziyi, both young actresses were taken aback.

Then, Zhou Ye pursed his lips and looked at Tian Xinwei. What he saw was the sweet girl smiling blankly, her almond-shaped eyes lifeless, and her face expressionless.

Just then, Chen Xiu and Meng Ziyi also noticed them.

Meng Ziyi doesn't usually go to the company and isn't familiar with Zhou Ye and Tian Xinwei. When she sees them, she just nods and greets them without being too enthusiastic.

Chen Xiu was even calmer: "Hello, Xiao Tian, ​​Zhou Ye, how are you!"

He greeted everyone as always, just as he had before, without any sign of anything amiss.

This reaction doesn't mean they've turned their backs on you.

The main reason is that Tian Xinwei herself said that once she left the room, everyone should pretend nothing happened. Since she left so gracefully, Chen Xiu naturally wouldn't linger or hesitate.

Tian Xinwei's lips moved slightly, and she forced a smile, raising her hand in response, "Hello, boss!" Zhou Ye quickly followed.

Chen Xiuchao and the others nodded again, then turned to Meng Ziyi and said, "I'm going to the dressing room on the other side."

"All right."

Meng Ziyi waved happily to Chen Xiu and watched him leave.

After everyone disappeared, Meng Ziyi turned to look at Tian Xinwei and Zhou Ye, and smiled, "Hello, hello! I'm going to get my makeup done, wanna come along?"

"Forehead……"

Zhou Ye glanced at Tian Xinwei, unsure how to respond.

Having already composed herself, Oda said resolutely, "Okay! Noko and I are also going to get our makeup done, let's go together."

"oh oh."

Meng Ziyi turned to the executive producer who had been called over and said, "Hello, I can go with them. Why don't you go and take care of other things first?"

"Okay, thank you. I'll go take care of my work now."

After saying that, the man walked quickly toward the palace on set, muttering things like "coordinating the crew and scheduling."

Once the onlookers had left, Meng Ziyi gave Tian Xinwei a knowing look with a smile, signaling her to lead the way.

Xiao Tian smiled, flashed a dimple, nodded to Meng Ziyi, and then led her toward the dressing room.

Tian Xinwei, with her back to Meng Ziyi the whole way, rolled her eyes and cursed with her expressions, while in her heart she cursed Chen Xiu as the biggest scumbag ever.

"Guawazi!"

"You son of a bitch!"

"You scumbag, I'll fuck you to death!"

After finally arriving at the dressing room, Tian Xinwei instantly switched expressions, smiling broadly at Meng Ziyi. No wonder she's from Sichuan and Chongqing!
"This is the dressing room. You can talk to the costume designer about the character later, and she will then communicate with the makeup artist."

"Oh, thank you! Xiaotian, you're so kind!"

Meng Ziyi's habitual expression of gratitude caused Tian Xinwei's smile to twitch, and her bright almond-shaped eyes instantly dimmed.

Fortunately, she didn't notice and immediately turned to thank Zhou Ye.

"Hehe, it's nothing. We're all artists in the company, it's only right that we help each other out."

Zhou Ye gave a polite smile, which was just a standard reaction.

However, upon noticing Tian Xinwei's gloomy expression, she quickly spoke up to attract Meng Ziyi's attention.

"Literal meaning, I just saw your assistant holding what looked like a dog. Is that yours?" "You mean Chocolate? It's very well-behaved. You like dogs too?"

"Hehe, I quite like it."

"When you have time later, can you play with it?"

Zhou Ye's smile froze, thinking to himself: Why does she seem so easy to talk to? Xiao Tian, ​​for the sake of our best friend relationship, I'll do anything!
"Okay! I'll go find Chocolate to play with tomorrow or the day after."

"see you then."

Meng Ziyi was happy to have met Zhou Ye, a like-minded person, but when she turned to look at Tian Xinwei, her expression froze for a moment.

"Xiaotian, what are you doing?"

"Hmm, what's wrong with me?"

Tian Xinwei looked up blankly, wondering: I wasn't cursing you in my mind just now! I was cursing that scumbag, so how could you sense it too?

Meng Ziyi pursed her lips, but didn't feel that Tian Xinwei harbored any ill will towards her: "Your gaze just now was a bit scary, like you'd been taken advantage of and then abandoned..."

"..."

Tian Xinwei, who was originally a bit hunched over, gasped instantly upon hearing this and straightened her back.

She pursed her lips, glared at Meng Ziyi, and forced herself to say, "I didn't! I'm not! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Okay, okay! Don't get agitated."

"Am I excited?"

"I'm not excited, you've always talked like this!!"

Zhou Ye quickly interrupted loudly to break the increasingly tense atmosphere.

Just as the three of them were looking at each other in bewilderment and speechless, the makeup artist, who had been attracted by the noise, finally appeared after much anticipation.

"Hello! Are you all actors who have scenes to film today?"

Swish swish!
The three women turned to look at the makeup artist who was rushing over, causing her to stop in her tracks, freeze in place, swallow hard, and tentatively probe.

"That? You guys..."

"Teacher, I have a scene to film today. I play the role of Princess Yang, the wife of King Qi, and her role is Empress Zhangsun."

Tian Xinwei's initiative to speak made Zhou Ye look at her with a puzzled expression.

Meng Ziyi was also secretly wondering: Why does this Xiaotian seem a bit neurotic? Could it be that she's fallen for Xiu-ge'er and sees me as a rival? Tsk tsk, maybe!

Thinking of this, Meng Ziyi glanced at Tian Xinwei.

Just then, Tian Xinwei turned around and met Meng Ziyi's wary gaze.

Their eyes met, each harboring its own thoughts, wary of the other.

On the other side, Chen Xiu, who had come to the men's dressing room, was able to enjoy a large area quite reasonably.

When they collaborated on "Qin King's Battle Song" before, the rest of the crew already knew about this young tycoon's personality, so they didn't bother him.

However, there are always exceptions, especially when it comes to one's future; people will always try to fight for themselves.

"Mr. Chen, excuse me, may I have a few minutes of your time?"

Upon hearing this very familiar phrase, Chen Xiu raised her hand to stop the makeup artist's work, turned her chair around, and looked in the direction of the sound.

But when he saw that the person who came was Zhang Ruoyun, his tense facial muscles instantly relaxed.

"Phew~~, I thought it was that investor who barged into the film crew again. It's you! Don't be so polite. What's up? Sit down and let's talk."

"Hehe, thank you, Mr. Chen."

Zhang Ruoyun smiled awkwardly, then slowly walked to the side and sat down, holding onto the swivel chair.

Chen Xiu glanced at Zhang Ruoyun's reflection in the mirror beside her and saw the eagerness in his eyes, as well as the hesitant expression on his lips.

"Makeup artist, is my makeup and styling ready?"

"Well, that's about it. All that's left is to attach the wig and put on the costume. The new wig is on the other side. I'll go get it now."

The makeup artist, who has been working on film sets for many years, is quite shrewd.

Upon seeing Zhang Ruoyun's grateful gaze and hearing Chen Xiu's "Thank you for your trouble," the makeup artist quickly left the scene.

After he walked away, Chen Xiu turned her chair to look at Zhang Ruoyun: "Is it convenient for you to talk now?"

"Mr. Chen..."

A fleeting look of emotion crossed Zhang Ruoyun's eyes as she quickly said, "Last year, Datang Pictures contacted me and expressed their intention to sign a contract, which I was actually very willing to do."

"However, your father refused, and then your agency contract was with his company, and he also used this to sign a contract with Hua Ce for a salary of 2 million yuan to star in 4 dramas."

"I didn't sign this contract, I didn't know anything about it..."

"..."

Seeing Chen Xiu's calm and collected gaze, Zhang Ruoyun's emotions suddenly froze, and her expression became sullen.

He looked at Chen Xiu with hesitation and tentatively said, "President Chen, I still really want to join Datang Pictures."

What about your current contract?

"I really didn't know that, and I'm already preparing to terminate my contract with the company."

"Then you should deal with this problem first, and then we can talk about other things!"

Chen Xiu turned her chair back, pondered for a moment, and then said one more thing just as Zhang Ruoyun was about to get up and leave.

"I've seen your performance in 'Novoland: The Castle in the Sky.' You were quite chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), and that kind of temperament is very suitable for TV series adapted from novels. Try to maintain that, and your future possibilities will be even greater."

"...Mr. Chen, I understand. I will handle the problem."
