Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 512 Didi's old declaration of war reappears today.

August 5th, Shenzhen, Dalang Factory Area.

"Entrepreneurial Age," which has been in production for over a month, has reached 60% completion.

The film's shooting schedule was originally set for two months, but it seems likely that filming will wrap up earlier.

Like other movies, "Entrepreneurial Age" also has its own highlight moments, and these highlight moments naturally happen to the male protagonist, Chen Xiu.

To ensure the quality of this scene, Guo Fan even called Wang Chuanjun, Hu Ge, and Tian Xinwei, who were responsible for cooperating with Chen Xiu's performance, to his side before filming began.

Looking at the three people who had changed into their work clothes, Guo Fan pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go over today's scene together in advance."

"No problem." *3
The three spoke in unison, their expressions serious.

Guo Fan touched his nose and pointed at Tian Xinwei: "Today's scene was that Brother Xiu picked you up and took you to the factory to check on the workers' progress. When Lao Hu saw Brother Xiu coming, he took the initiative to call Chuan Jun, and then you all gathered at the factory."

"After Chuanjun rushed back to the factory, he saw Xiuge wandering around the workshop and found that he was not satisfied with the progress. You went to explain the reason and said that the workers had done their best."

"At this point, Brother Xiu will give an impromptu speech to inspire people. He decides what he will say, and you just need to cooperate according to his requirements. Okay, am I clear enough?"

Wang Chuanjun and Brother Hu exchanged a glance, indicating that they understood.

Tian Xinwei pursed her lips and nodded, her bright eyes full of anticipation.

……

Inside the factory, temporary workers were all using the skills they had just learned to install mobile phones.

Their clumsy movements actually conveyed the exhaustion of working overtime for days on end.

Chen Xiu, dressed in work clothes, walked back and forth in the workshop, her footsteps almost silent, her face expressionless, which made people feel intimidated.

Another camera captured Hu Ge's nervous reaction, then quickly switched to the doorway, where Wang Chuanjun, also wearing work clothes, hurriedly walked in from outside.

He stood at a suitable position, his eyes darting around frantically, before finally settling on one direction.

Another camera then focused on Chen Xiu as she walked.

This segment, without any dialogue, uses only visual language to clearly explain the situation and create a better sense of tension.

Wang Chuanjun nervously swallowed, and quickly crossed the factory building under the camera's lens, arriving at Chen Xiu's side.

"Mr. Chen, you've arrived."

"Ah."

Chen Xiu responded and her gaze settled on one of the extras.

For ease of address, Chen Xiu gave her character the common name Chen Lu.

After greeting everyone, Wang Chuanjun seemed a little flustered, unsure of what to say next. In fact, his lines did indeed stop there.

Chen Xiu pointed at the extra: "I've been standing here for 2 minutes, and he only tightened 5 screws."

Wang Chuanjun glanced at the actor with a troubled expression.

"Mr. Chen, we've been working overtime for five days already, and the employees are all exhausted."

“I’ve been with you all the whole time, and I know you’re all tired. I just didn’t expect that someone would be sleeping at their workstation so soon after I left.”

Chen Xiu's expression shifted slightly, a hint of regret in her eyes.

Wang Chuanjun was taken aback, clearly sensing a change in Chen Xiu's emotional state.

As a veteran actor with outstanding acting skills, he knows how to handle such emotions and knows that he cannot falter at this moment.

"Mr. Chen, I'll hold a meeting with them during lunch later to push the progress forward again."

Chen Xiu took a deep breath, turned around, and stared at Wang Chuanjun with bloodshot eyes.

Just by meeting that look in his eyes, Wang Chuanjun's face showed a sense of fear that came from the bottom of his heart and was just right for the current state of his character.

Chen Xiu smiled suddenly and said, "Your suggestion is excellent!"

"What proposal?"

"Bring over a few chairs, I have something to say to everyone."

"stool?"

Wang Chuanjun's expressions of surprise came one after another, and the camera captured the entire scene.

Once the executive director yelled "cut," Guo Fan confirmed the shot was acceptable, and the group gathered together again for final confirmation and preparation.

"Mr. Chen, what will your speech be about later?"

"Hmm~, that's pretty much what I said before Didi and Kuaidi entered the final stage of burning money in the ride-hailing market. The subject will be a little different, since the project in the movie is a mobile phone assembly plant."

Chen Xiu's dismissive answer left Guo Fan, Wang Chuanjun, and Brother Hu all stunned.

Tian Xinwei already knew about the situation, and her face showed only anticipation.

Guo Fan pursed his lips, instantly banishing his initial worry that Chen Xiu might not perform well in her speech.

What a joke! Chen Xiu could use speeches to get Didi employees to work overtime all night, thus outperforming Kuaidi and winning the final victory in the ride-hailing war. How could he not handle a few dozen people in a small factory!

Seeing the crew bring over a few plastic four-legged stools, Guo Fan began to look forward to the upcoming scenes.

"OK! Let's tidy up the area and get ready to film the next scene!"

Guo Fan clapped loudly, and the crowd dispersed, each taking their place.

The atmosphere inside the factory suddenly became somewhat lively.

……

Six plastic stools were placed side by side in a rectangle.

This plastic stool is not the end of the story; when a person weighing over 80kg sits on it, the legs tend to bend.

The camera moved up from the stool legs and focused on Chen Xiu, Wang Chuanjun, and Hu Ge and Tian Xinwei, who had rushed over to check on things. Tian Xinwei looked at the plastic stool worriedly: "Isn't this too unsafe? Should we bring a wooden crate over?"

Chen Xiu glanced at the rectangular plastic stool, then turned to Tian Xinwei and said, "No need for all that trouble, something simple and inexpensive will do. I won't go on and on."

After saying that, he continued to look at Wang Chuanjun.

"Old Gao (the name in the movie), could you please go upstairs and gather the people over here for me?"

"Uh……"

Wang Chuanjun glanced at the unstable stool with some apprehension.

Chen Xiu was slightly taken aback, then nodded in understanding.

"You don't need to go up; just gather the people here."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Wang Chuanjun walked to the work area, opened his arms, and put them to his mouth.

"Everyone, stop what you're doing and come over here. President Chen has something to say!"

The crowd discussed it amongst themselves, puzzled and confused, but they still came after hearing the news.

Chen Xiu nodded to Wang Chuanjun, who had returned after shouting, and then turned to look at the dozens of extras who had gathered around. They were now the staff of the movie.

After glancing around, Chen Xiu walked towards the rectangular plastic stool, and Wang Chuanjun followed suit, reaching out his hand.

"Mr. Chen, please put your hand on mine."

Chen Xiu pursed her lips, gave him a speechless look, lifted her leg and stepped onto the stool.

"Clap clap clap!"

This applause and welcome is very characteristic of the workplace.

Chen Xiu raised his hand and pressed down to stop the applause, then began his reenactment of his past speech.

"Good morning, everyone! Since the completion of the first two deliveries, this time we need to complete more orders than the previous two combined. I would like to thank everyone for working overtime these past few days."

The audience remained silent, their expressions blank.

In a real setting, there would probably be people making sarcastic remarks behind the scenes.

Chen Xiu didn't pay any attention to these things. After finishing his opening remarks, he went straight to the point without any preamble.

"I just learned from Manager Gao that our installation progress this time is 20% faster than the previous batch of orders. Unfortunately, as far as I know, our competitors are 30% faster."

Chen Xiu's voice instantly turned low and deep, and the power of her emotions began to spread outwards.

The group cooperated with the performance, exchanging bewildered glances.

After a clever emotional tug-of-war, Chen Xiu immediately changed the subject: "But I believe that we will eventually catch up."

"Correct!"

Wang Chuanjun plays the supporting role, but he doesn't actually have any lines in this segment. The script provided by Chen Xiu was meant to be improvised.

It was this reply that made Chen Xiu turn around and look back.

"Manager Gao, does 20 equal 30?"

"This……"

Which is bigger, 20 or 30?

"30 Big!"

Wang Chuanjun responded, but this time it was no longer a supporting role; rather, he had been prompted by Chen Xiu.

"Yes! 30 is bigger, much bigger!"

Chen Xiu pointed at Wang Chuanjun, startling him so much that he flinched.

"But I want to say that you are still excellent employees!"

Chen Xiu pointed to the factory roof: "Many miracles have been created here. It was only because the previous owner went next door to prove his luck that I had the opportunity to buy it at a low price!"

"Many of you probably think I was just lucky to get venture capital funding so I could pay off the remaining balance on the factory and have the capital to take on orders and compete with others."

“Some people even think that even if they can’t complete the orders, they can just pack up and leave, find another job, and continue eating, while I’m the only one who suffers!”

The extras, who had no lines, were simply staring blankly at Chen Xiu.

After stunning the entire audience, Chen Xiu abruptly changed the subject for the third time.

"But I'm telling you, you're wrong! I won't be the one who's really unlucky, because even if I fail, I can still sell the factory to break even. Although I didn't win, I'm not doing badly either."

"You are the ones who will have to bear all the consequences! Because you will have to find jobs and work under people whose professional skills are not as good as yours. All your previous efforts will be for nothing. You will have to work like newcomers!"

"But now we have an opportunity, an opportunity to break away from the status quo and get back on track. This opportunity needs to be seized and fought for. Moreover, our opponents are very strong. They will not make mistakes, and their professional skills are no less than ours."

"If we want to win this competition, we have to persevere and fight hard. They are also persevering and fighting hard. In the end, it's all about one last push! As long as we completely crush our opponents, we can get on the right track. At that time, you, you, you... everyone will be the beneficiary!"

Chen Xiu pointed at the group of people from the stool and said earnestly.

His cheeks were flushed, his forehead was covered in sweat, and with each heavy breath he took, his chest heaved, it seemed to ring in everyone's ears.

These words are roughly the same as the pre-war declaration Chen Xiu made when the programmers at Didi worked overtime all night to rewrite the software architect's script for Tencent. However, the emotional intensity is far less than that time, after all, reality and acting are different.

Even so, the infectious power he created in his words could sweep through the entire factory like a hurricane in an instant.

Tian Xinwei's eyelashes trembled, and her heart pounded.

Wang Chuanjun and Brother Hu were stunned and speechless.

Guo Fan sat behind the monitor, his lips trembling, deeply empathizing with the situation.
