Chapter 354 Ma Yun visits the set

Upon returning to Hengdian from Hangzhou, Chen Xiu received a call from Su Xiao.

The outcome of the meeting was that the responsible parties need to fulfill their responsibilities, promptly address violations and disclose the progress to users, upgrade the review mechanism, immediately block infringing live streams, and remove problematic content.

"Then, we need to improve the real-name authentication and hierarchical management of registered users to curb the spread of counterfeit goods at the source."

Listening to Su Xiao's demands over the phone, Chen Xiu nodded, but her brows were still slightly furrowed.

"Aside from these, are there any other requirements? Does the app need to be taken down for rectification?"

"It's not that serious. To put it bluntly, this was just an oversight. The live streaming function has indeed been suspended, but the app doesn't need to be taken down. We just need to strengthen management and find a way to rebuild the brand image."

"We definitely need to strengthen oversight, especially for sensitive and special content. Even if we don't make mistakes ourselves, it's hard to guarantee that our partners and advertisers won't. Let's ask the review department to hire more people."

"Yes, I'll take care of all of that..."

Su Xiao remained silent for a while, neither speaking nor hanging up, simply waiting quietly.

Chen Xiu's brow relaxed, and she glanced at her phone: "You have something to say to me?"

"Zhang Yiming said you went to Hangzhou to ask Ma Yun for help?"

"I did go there, but not to ask for his help; I went to discuss cooperation."

"cooperate?"

Chen Xiu briefly recounted her conversation with Ma Yun, then added that she planned to host a live broadcast the next day to explain the incident.

"Heh, so you've chosen the sincere route this time?"

"I've always been very sincere..."

“Your understanding is wrong, alright, let’s leave it at that! Your decision to go and make a movie has given me an idea. Maybe we can collaborate with Chang’an City to promote traditional culture and slow down the pace of commercialization.”

"The idea of ​​promoting traditional culture is good, but commercialization doesn't need to be slowed down; we just need to proceed steadily."

The two talked about work the whole way, and then they started talking about life.

After Chen Xiu returned to the hotel where the Hengdian film crew was staying, Su Xiao also went home. Only then did the two say goodbye and hang up.

On his way back to his room, Chen Xiu received WeChat messages from Meng Ziyi and Reba, with essentially the same message asking him what had happened.

Chen Xiu's response was simple: Nothing happened...

The following day, at the Spring and Autumn Tang Garden.

Although she traveled to and from Hangzhou yesterday and had a long chat with Ma Yun, Chen Xiu's condition was not affected at all during filming today.

Liang Guanhua, who acted opposite him, also felt that this billionaire's acting skills were above average. Even if he couldn't compare to those veteran actors, he was at least much better than the young idols in the crew.

The scene the two filmed today depicts Yang Wengan's rebellion being exposed, his troops marching south from Qingzhou to besiege Ningzhou, and Li Yuan, sensing the danger, promising Li Shimin the position of crown prince in exchange for sending him to quell the rebellion.

"Second Brother, what do you think should be done about Yang Wengan's plot to rebel?"

When Liang Guanhua said this line, a clear look of calculation and probing appeared on his chubby face.

Chen Xiu replied, based on the consistent accounts in the Old and New Books of Tang: "Yang Wengan is a petty man. He hastily raised an army without a legitimate reason. His subordinates can easily capture him. Even if he is prepared, sending a general can still defeat him."

"This matter concerns Jiancheng, and it's probably not going to be simple. You'll have to go and quell the rebellion!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiu pursed his lips and lowered his eyebrows, clearly indicating that he was not prepared to accept the imperial edict.

As Yang Wengan was Li Jiancheng's subordinate, Li Jiancheng would certainly be implicated in his rebellion. Li Shimin wanted to take this opportunity to get Li Yuan to depose Li Jiancheng from his position as crown prince once and for all, and then everything else would fall into place.

This view is also accepted by many Tang Dynasty history researchers, because Yang Wengan's fate was exactly the same as Li Shimin's prediction, just like a script, without any difference.

By offering such a smooth way out, Li Yuan was essentially following the script to depose Li Jiancheng and install Li Shimin as the crown prince, achieving the best possible outcome for everyone.

However, Li Yuan didn't want to follow the script written by Director Erfeng; he had his own ideas...

Liang Guanhua grabbed Chen Xiu's hand and, following the account in the New Book of Tang, began the operation to secretly grant him the position of Crown Prince.

"Erlang, when we return after our success, you will become the crown prince, and Jiancheng will be the king of Shu. That way, even if he rebels in the future, it will be easy for you to quell his rebellion."

Chen Xiu stared at Liang Guanhua, her expression shifting several times before she finally nodded in agreement.

Yang Wengan's rebellion and his secret promise to the crown prince are both recorded in historical books. However, Li Yuan later changed his mind and said he did not want to follow the established script.

He still needed Li Jiancheng to shield him, and didn't want Li Shimin to become the crown prince...

In this verbal exchange during the drama, Chen Xiu and Liang Guanhua both used micro-expressions to express their thoughts. The dialogue followed historical records. How it will be interpreted when it airs depends on the opinions of the audience and film and television commentary media.

"Cut! OK, this one's passed!"

Lu Yang's voice reached the set, announcing the end of filming for his scene.

Liang Guanhua reluctantly released Chen Xiu's hand: "President Chen, I'm sorry, I overdid it just now, and used a bit too much force."

"No, Teacher Liang's acting skills are even better than before, which is a good thing. Besides, I'm not that precious."

Chen Xiu shook her forearm to indicate that she was fine.

Seeing that Chen Xiu was so easy to talk to, a strange look flashed in Liang Guanhua's eyes.

After filming this scene, the crew began packing up to move on to the next location to shoot other scenes.

However, at that moment, a commotion suddenly broke out at the palace gate where the filming was taking place, drawing everyone's attention. There were about a dozen people crowded at the gate, bustling and noisy, but it didn't seem like another film crew had come to use the space. It looked more like a celebrity had come to visit the set, attracting a large crowd of onlookers.

Just as Chen Xiu was wondering to herself, Luo Shikan had already strode over from the gate.

When he came up to her, Chen Xiu asked, "Xiao Luo, what's wrong?"

"Boss, Mr. Ma is here!"

"Mr. Ma from Hangzhou?"

"Yes! He said he came to visit you on set."

Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell silent.

Everyone, including director Lu Yang, looked on in astonishment.

They had spent quite some time with Chen Xiu, and given his gentle nature and the fact that he treated everyone the same, they subconsciously overlooked his status as a billionaire.

Ma Yun's visit to the set reminded them of this.

When Chen Xiu learned that Ma Yun had visited the set, a clear look of surprise flashed across her face.

He turned to look at the crowd still blocking the entrance and asked Luo Shikan, "Have you called security? How is Mr. Ma?"

"They've arrived. Mr. Ma brought a lot of bodyguards, and most of the people surrounding them are actors from our film crew. The order is stable."

"OK, find two people to come over. I'm going out to see Mr. Ma."

"clear."

There were too many people and too much trouble outside, so Chen Xiu didn't want to rush out like that.

After the people arranged by Luo Shikan arrived, he greeted Lu Yang, led his men quickly to the door, and looked past the crowd of onlookers to meet Ma Yun's eyes, who was being protected by bodyguards.

Ma Yun was the first to look away, then said a few words to the bodyguards beside him, and the circle of bodyguards protecting him began to move closer to Chen Xiu's location.

Most of the people standing at the entrance were supporting actors from "The Xuanwu Gate Incident," and some extras were also standing on the periphery, which kept the scene relatively stable and prevented chaos.

Seeing Ma Yun's actions, Chen Xiu also led his men towards him.

The two sides finally met on the stone steps in front of the palace. In front of the audience, Chen Xiu smiled and walked towards Ma Yun, extending her hand.

"Mr. Ma, I didn't expect you to come!"

"I came because I knew you would be surprised."

Ma Yun shook Chen Xiu's hand, her face beaming with joy.

To onlookers, their handshake scene presented a completely different picture.

Especially after hearing Ma Yun admit that he had come to visit Chen Xiu on set, the surrounding celebrities instantly became quiet and polite.

After the handshake ended, Chen Xiu glanced at both sides and said with feigned displeasure, "Mr. Ma, your sudden appearance made everyone a little nervous."

"That is indeed my fault, but your sudden trip to Hangzhou to see me yesterday made me a little nervous."

"Then I'll apologize to you too... How about we talk somewhere else?"

"No rush, you go ahead and do your work! I came here today not only to visit you on set, but also to talk to Mr. Xu from Hengdian Group about some things. You go ahead and do your work, we'll talk later, and we'll also confirm the live broadcast."

Ma Yun deliberately lowered her voice for the second half of her sentence, not wanting others to hear it.

After saying that, he patted Chen Xiu on the shoulder twice, then left with his bodyguards, leaving behind a group of spectators who were stunned by his boastful behavior.

Watching Ma Yun's dashing departure, Chen Xiu chuckled and said to the crowd on both sides, "Everyone, disperse! There's nothing to see here, it's just a friend visiting the set."

"..."

Everyone was speechless. For a moment, they couldn't tell whether Ma Yun was better at pretending or Chen Xiu was better at it!

When Chen Xiu turned and walked back to the palace, the crowd that had been gathered around finally realized what was happening and began to disperse.

Standing in the crowd, Zhou Ye realized that everyone was leaving and then turned to ask her best friend.

"Xiaotian, wasn't that Ma Yun who just shook hands with the boss?"

"Didn't you see it all? Why are you asking me?"

Tian Xinwei glanced at Chen Xiu's retreating figure as it disappeared through the palace gate with a complicated expression.

Today, for the first time, she truly experienced Chen Xiu's wealth and achievements.

Zhou Ye looked flustered, his eyes darting around before he suddenly leaned close to Tian Xinwei's ear and asked, "Xiao Tian, ​​what cartoons does the boss usually like to watch?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Find some common interests..."

"Hehe, he only watches things that are banned from being broadcast by the media."

After saying that, Tian Xinwei walked straight toward the palace.

Zhou Ye stood there alone, his expression shifting. He thought to himself, "So that's the kind of anime the boss likes. I'll have to catch up on it when I get back..."
