Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 464 The Arrogant Tian Xinwei
February 17th, Shanghai, Tan Palace.

Driving this Aston Martin, which she wasn't very familiar with, Tian Xinwei successfully braked before the car ran through the checkpoint.

Seeing the tense security guards surrounding him, Xiao Tian, ​​who was only wearing sunglasses, rolled down the car window, took out his phone, and showed them the electronic access control.

After confirming the access control information, the security guard reminded Tian Xinwei to drive carefully before opening the gate for her.

"Whoo~"

Patting her chest, Tian Xinwei started the car and turned to look at the fruits and vegetables on the passenger seat.

That jerk of a man! He stays home all day and never goes out, all he does is order me around to go out and buy things!
After cursing Chen Xiu in her mind, Tian Xinwei drove a top-of-the-line supercar along the community's greenway at a speed comparable to that of an elderly person's car, and then parked it very steadily in front of her house.

Having successfully completed her mission, Tian Xinwei carried her spoils and walked towards the gate with a beaming smile.

As soon as she entered the lobby and the door closed, she couldn't wait to call out to the scumbag in her heart.

"Boss, I'm back!!"

"Your old car is no good to drive. If you step on the gas even slightly, it will fly off."

"Oh, right, we only have cherries today, so remember to wash every single one for me!"

"I've been talking for so long, why aren't you coming to help?"

Four sentences were enough to take her from the front hall to the living room.

Looking at the empty sofa, Tian Xinwei's deep dimples quickly disappeared, and her bright eyes became thoughtful.

Why didn't you come to the living room to wait for me? Are you still upstairs busy revising the script?
After putting down what she was holding, Tian Xinwei quickly went upstairs to the outside of the study.

Before she even got close, she could vaguely hear noises coming from inside. She then pursed her lips and went back downstairs the way she came.

Five minutes later, Tian Xinwei came upstairs again, this time carrying a plate of cherries. The cherries were round and plump, bright red in color, and still had water stains on their skins, so they must have been washed very clean...

"Boom! Boom!"

A series of knocks, one urgent and two gentle, sounded on the door, and then all movement inside ceased.

Less than ten seconds later, the door opened inwards, and Chen Xiu, dressed loosely and with slightly disheveled hair, walked out from behind the door with a smile.

Looking at Tian Xinwei, who was pouting and holding a fruit bowl, Chen Xiu said apologetically, "I should have picked you up, but I got so busy that I forgot the time."

"Hmph! So, are you done with your work yet?"

"It'll be quick, come in."

After washing the cherries, Chen Xiu completely enveloped Tian Xinwei's icy hands, and Tian Xinwei felt her heart skip a beat.

Upon entering the study, she saw a projection on the wall: a red fox wearing a green shirt and tie, and a rabbit with drooping ears...

Are you watching Zootopia?

"Hmm, your hands are so cold. Give me the fruit first."

Chen Xiu took the fruit plate, placed it on the desk, then took Tian Xinwei's other hand, led her to her seat, and hugged her, quickly restoring her lost warmth.

The Sichuan-Chongqing Tyrannosaurus, who was initially harboring some resentment, immediately became hesitant and darted around after being treated so gently by Chen Xiu.

My gaze fell upon the script pages scattered on the table, covered in large scribbles.

Tian Xinwei's expression suddenly turned serious, and she turned to Chen Xiu, saying, "Didn't you say you were making minor changes to the script? Is this considered a minor change?"

"Well, I originally planned to make minor revisions, but as I kept revising, I couldn't help but make more and more changes, and in the end, I almost wrote a new script."

Chen Xiusong released Tian Xinwei's hand and tidied up the papers on the table.

Tian Xinwei asked in confusion, "Didn't you give the script outline to the screenwriter? Why did you have to make such major changes?"

"How to say……"

Chen Xiu hesitated for a moment, then a rare look of expectation appeared on her face.

"After all, this is my last work before retiring from the industry, so I wanted to make it a little better, but the scriptwriter's work just didn't convince me."

As he spoke, he selected a few pages of the script and pointed to the areas he had circled in red.

"For example, this plot hole: the male protagonist, dressed in a food delivery uniform, tries to meet the CEO of a tech company, gets stopped, then rides an electric scooter to the train station to buy a ticket, and continues to try to persuade the CEO on the high-speed train, eventually getting a chance."

Tian Xinwei frowned, thought about it seriously, and still shook her head in confusion.

"What plot holes are there in this part?"

"Put yourself in others' shoes. If someone comes to me seeking investment and can't even afford a decent set of clothes, I won't listen to a word they have to say, because completing an order is far more difficult than acquiring a suit."

Chen Xiu's words were very practical.

The saying "Respect the clothes first, then the person" is often used to satirize those who are snobbish, focusing only on a person's appearance and disregarding their inner qualities.

However, from Chen Xiu's perspective, if someone really has ideas, they should present themselves in a more presentable way before trying to attract investment.

Tian Xinwei nodded, agreeing with this statement.

"Then all you need to do is write a story about the male protagonist managing to get a suit, and then convincing the boss by showing off."

"This part of the plot can indeed be changed like this, but there are many other unreasonable parts."

Chen Xiu spread all the pages of the script on the table and quickly and fluently explained what she considered to be plot holes.

"The script portrays the boss's secretary as a clown to make the audience hate him, thus achieving a slap in the face effect. There's no need for that. Also, the fact that only the protagonist comes up with the idea of ​​recycling parts is another bug. There are many smart people in the world; what you can think of, others can also think of."

"It says here that the male protagonist hired a group of marginalized people to come to his factory to help disassemble machines and inspect qualified spare parts."

"Our country's manufacturing industry is very strong. Hiring a group of non-professionals will not be able to match the yield rate of factory-made products." "In a truly high-level business battle, neither your opponent nor your own team will make mistakes. Whatever tricks you use, both sides can easily deal with them."

"In the end, it often comes down to both sides fighting for days and nights, it's all about who can hold on the longest and who will give up first. The loser never gets another chance to catch up, and the winner takes all the market!"

In the end, Chen Xiu directly shared her personal experience.

In fact, every track in the business arena is congested. Low-quality and low-level players are eliminated in the early to mid-stages, and those who remain in the end are the outstanding individuals.

He originally intended to name the film shooting task released by the system "Miracle. Stupid Kid" and also provided an outline for Datang Pictures' screenwriting team to refine.

However, the writings of a screenwriter who had never run a business were simply unbearable for him to read.

Hearing this, Tian Xinwei understood Chen Xiu's thoughts.

Her eyes flickered, and she turned to kiss Chen Xiu on the cheek, saying, "If you want to make a good entrepreneurial story, why don't you just use your own experience as a template?"

"Forget it, I'm not that narcissistic, and wouldn't it be a bit boring to direct and act out my own experiences?"

"really."

Tian Xinwei nodded slightly, agreeing with the suggestion, and then asked, "So what is the script like after your major revisions?"

"First, I have to create a protagonist that can attract people."

Chen Xiu pointed to Nick Wilde, the protagonist of Zootopia, on the wall.

Tian Xinwei's eyes lit up. She felt that Nick Wilde's charm was indeed enough to carry a movie as the male lead, and Chen Xiu was quite similar to the fox in some ways...

"and then?"

"I kept the main storyline of the protagonist making mobile phones, and designed the plot based on my own experiences and some stories in the business world. I also added a rival to the protagonist who also wanted to start a parts recycling business..."

Holy crap, the big boss himself is writing the business war plot, isn't that invincible!
Tian Xinwei sighed inwardly, then quickly pointed to herself and said, "You've drastically changed the script, is my character still there?"

"Yes! However, I changed your role from a younger sister to a childhood sweetheart with a love-hate relationship, adding a touch of romance."

Chen Xiu squinted and tilted her head, looking at Tian Xinwei with doting eyes, her expression exactly the same as Nick Wilde's when he looked at Judy Hopps on the wall.

Upon learning that her role had been upgraded, Tian Xinwei was quite satisfied, but she still habitually made a few arrogant remarks.

"Hmph! Who wants to play childhood sweethearts with you?"

“You don’t want to act? Then forget it, I’ll let Zhou Ye do it.”

"Hey, hey, I like to tell little lies sometimes, tsk, why can't you just play along?"

Tian Xinwei grabbed Chen Xiu's hand and playfully slapped him, but she was also worried that he might actually ask Zhou Ye to play the role.

Chen Xiu could easily see through the big-eyed cutie's tsundere nature.

"Then why don't you think about how we're going to act out the love scenes?"

"Hey, can I think about it?"

"Anyway, I'm only providing the plot framework. The dialogue between the characters is something the screenwriter will have to figure out how to add. Do you have any suggestions?"

"Hey hey hey."

Chen Xiu rarely used the word "lecherous" to describe a girl, but he couldn't find a more suitable word for Tian Xinwei's current expression.

"Alright, you should stop thinking about it. Leave the romance to the screenwriter."

"You agreed that I would give you advice."

Tian Xinwei gripped Chen Xiu's arm tightly with both hands, pouting unhappily.

Chen Xiu picked up a cherry, put it in her mouth, and said, "I'm worried that what you're thinking won't pass the censorship."

"Uh...this."

"You're really thinking about R-rated content?"

"that."

Tian Xinwei lowered her head, her face flushed with embarrassment, and it continued to turn even redder.

Chen Xiu looked at her from left to right and found her rosy, apple-like face quite delicious.

However, before he could even taste it, his cell phone on the table suddenly rang.

Chen Xiu and Tian Xinwei were both taken aback. After regaining their senses, they both looked at the phone on the table.

Tian Xinwei reached out and took it, then handed it to Chen Xiu.

Looking at the incoming call information on the screen, Chen Xiu raised an eyebrow, answered the call, and put it to her ear.

"Hey, Xiao Feng, what's wrong?"

"Boss, just now, The Wandering Earth officially surpassed 40 billion yuan at the box office, and the online pre-sale box office for the next two days is still over 1 million yuan. The final box office of the movie should not be less than 50 billion yuan."

"It's already grossed over 40 billion yuan in just two weeks, that's pretty good!"

Upon hearing about the film's release and box office figures, Tian Xinwei immediately guessed that the conversation on the phone must be about "The Wandering Earth."

This movie has now become a phenomenal blockbuster. Tian Xinwei has seen it twice, once with Chen Xiu, and had a very good viewing experience.

However, what struck her as odd was that after Chen Xiu finished speaking, her lips began to slowly purse, as if she had heard some bad news…
