Chapter 130: 130 Melon 7000 Nutrient Solution Plus
Shen Que is Xu Qingye's special focus, so there are always news reminders related to him. This time it was a Reuters photo taken by a fan.
In the Reuters photo, Shen Que and Zhuang Qibei stood together, and Zhuang Qibei leaned sideways to talk to Shen Que. The two looked very intimate.
This fan started shipping the two of them together, saying things like brothers from the same school are just sweet.
Originally this was just an ordinary Weibo post, but soon after it was posted, the number of reposts and comments immediately exceeded 10,000, and all of them were about supporting the couple.
Xu Qingye frowned as he looked at the ever-increasing data. There was something wrong with the data. It was obvious that someone had bought the popularity, and those comment accounts were like water armies.
Xu Qingye went to the water army group to ask, and sure enough, someone hired water army to hype up the CP.
The two characters in the movie have little overlap, so there is no need to hype up their CP. Now there is only one possibility, that is, Zhuang Qibei bought the hype.
Xu Qingye didn't expect that Zhuang Qibei would actually want to create a couple relationship with Shen Que. He was planning to stick to Shen Que to suck blood and gain popularity.
"I still think too highly of him."
Xu Qingye shook his head. He thought Zhuang Qibei wanted to compete with Shen Que by relying on his strength, but he didn't expect that he would come up with such an idea.
The popularity of the post is still rising. The previous comments were all from the internet trolls, but it gradually attracted some real people. As the number of real people increased, different voices gradually emerged.
I don't ship it if it's not a weird CP: I don't ship real people, I don't ship real people! What are you doing? Just talking close to each other is already ambiguous. Can't you please stop doing this and ship the characters? Can't you see that our Emperor Que is impatient? Zhuang Qibei is even looking at the camera. It's too deliberate. Our Emperor Que obviously has his own CP. @Que Ye Ye brother, come out quickly, someone is trying to steal your CP!
Fengchuidandanliang: Being obsessed with everything will only hurt you. How can two completely unrelated people be obsessed with each other? Just break up quickly.
There’s a Beauty in the North: The brothers are all good, but don’t force them to be lovers. I always feel like they are from two different eras. I grew up watching Xiaobei’s dramas!
······
Xu Qingye was reading the comments when Shen Que called.
"I've had someone delete the online news. I have no contact with him."
"I know. I always thought he was weird. I didn't expect him to actually try to hype up a couple and get some publicity. Did he just force it on you without even discussing it with you?"
Xu Qingye asked, "Promoting a couple is a science, and it requires cooperation from both parties to be effective. Of course, there are also some people who are born with a strong sense of couple, and as long as they stand together, fans will know how to promote them."
Most of the CPs have scripted characters, and everyone is just continuing to act outside the play. Every eye-catching look and action that stands out in the circle are ideas and jokes that the team members brainstorm together. After some seemingly unintentional interpretations, they become a picture that stands out in the circle with a strong sense of CP.
Hard fried ones are quite rare.
"No, I basically don't talk to him. Our schedules are basically staggered, so we don't have much chance to be together. He came over to chat with me just now, but I didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect someone was filming." Shen Que explained. He is not good at making friends. Except for those who really get along well with people in the same crew who will be added as friends, he basically only communicates in the group.
"I know. I guess he deliberately called someone to take the video. Such a terrible method is really speechless. Stay away from him. I'll ask Xiao Yang."
Xu Qingye was a little angry. Colleagues in the same company should have a sense of boundaries. Otherwise, it would be awkward if they met each other every day. Zhuang Qibei really went too far today.
After talking with Shen Que, Xu Qingye called Xiao Yang directly. Xiao Yang was a little surprised when he received Xu Qingye's call. He thought he was looking for Xu Hong. Just as he was about to give the phone to Xu Hong, Xu Qingye mentioned Shen Que's matter.
"Was it your idea to hype up Zhuang Qibei and Shen Que as a couple?"
Xiao Yang has been in the circle for many years and is very perceptive. When Xu Hong told her that Xu Qingye had a boyfriend, she guessed who it was. When they first met Chen Que, they were already very close, and their relationship was obvious.
Hearing Xu Qingye's questioning, she was stunned for a moment, and then she thought that Xu Qingye was jealous of her boyfriend and someone else's couple hype, so she came to question her.
"I don't know about this. I've been with Teacher Xu the entire time. I've assigned Zhuang Qibei an assistant to take charge of his work. Is there some misunderstanding here?"
Xiao Yang frowned, Chen Que is indeed a hot commodity now, if he can hype up a couple with him, he will indeed attract a lot of fans, but hyping up a couple requires a little bit of chemistry, some people will not be supported even if they kiss each other, but some people will be considered a perfect match as long as they stand in front of each other.
Zhuang Qibei and Shen Que did not have such a feeling. Although the two were of similar age, their experiences were very different, and their images and temperaments were not of the same type.
Xiao Yang didn't know whose idea it was, but it was terrible.
"There's no misunderstanding. Zhuang Qibei must have hired someone to film it himself and bought the data, but it's been suppressed now. The two of them barely interact in the drama, so it's not easy to hype them up as a couple based on their relationship as fellow apprentices. Forget it this time. Tell Zhuang Qibei to use his brain more and stop using all those cheesy tricks."
Xiao Yang frowned. She quickly checked the situation online and it was indeed similar to what Xu Qingye said. Even so, Xu Qingye's attitude made her a little dissatisfied. She was his mother's agent and was an elder after all. He was a little too disrespectful to her.
"Xiao Ye, Chen Que is an artist. This kind of thing is actually very normal. You should relax. You are watching him so closely, which may be stressful for him. He doesn't want to do it this time, but what if he volunteers to hype up the CP next time? Will you control him like this? No matter how close the relationship is, you still need to give each other some space."
"Are you educating me?"
"I'm teaching you that relationships are complicated. When things are going well, whatever you say is right. But when things are getting cold, any extra concern is just nagging. Don't get too involved in serious careers; you won't be able to handle it."
Xiao Yang spoke earnestly, as if he really cared about Xu Qingye.
"Don't worry about my business. If you don't take care of Zhuang Qibei, I don't mind doing it for you. He's not a good boy. If you dig around, you'll find a lot of interesting information. I don't want a newly signed artist to fail before he even makes any money."
"Teacher Xu will be attending a film festival soon. If you're free, you can go and see it."
Xiao Yang changed the subject abruptly and hung up the phone.
Xu Qingye put away his phone, walked out of the office and called Yi He to go out together.
"You'll be responsible for your brother and sister-in-law's affairs, including following up on the wedding. Many people are curious about your brother's identity. Keep it a secret and try to keep it trending."
Qiao Ran’s request is very simple, that is, she wants popularity. For her, marriage is just a topic to increase popularity. She knows very well what she wants, and it is rare that Yi An can cooperate like this.
"Hey, our family rarely has such a high profile. My brother is really amazing."
Yi He sighed. He didn't know how his brother had managed to convince his parents that there was no objection. It turned out that there was nothing his brother couldn't do as long as he wanted to.
"I never thought my brother was such a love-brained person. He even agreed to be on the trending search."
"His wife is the most important thing. Your brother is already 36 or 37, so he probably has to compromise. Your brother is often in the financial news anyway, so now he's just in the entertainment news. It doesn't make any difference."
"By the way, Jiang Boqi has a fan club whose profile picture has gone black and the fan club has been closed. She said something ambiguous about not being a fan anymore. I wonder if she was filmed or something."
After talking about his elder brother, Yi He started talking about work.
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingye took out his phone and did a search. Every artist only had a few big fans, so he immediately found out who Yi He was talking about.
This fan has been a fan of Jiang Boqi for many years. She has a hot temper. Whenever there are rivals who try to slander Jiang Boqi, she always rushes to the front to confront them. She has also bought a lot of album endorsements.
Suddenly, the black head portrait usually means that something has been captured that makes her break down.
"I guess it's a relationship. Fans only break down when it comes to real sister-in-laws. Let me ask Su Ziyu."
Xu Qingye and Jiang Boqi don't have a good relationship, so he often looks for Su Ziyu when he has something to do. It took a long time for someone to answer the phone.
"Have you and Jiang Boqi been together recently?"
"Well, do you want to ask me about the photos that were taken? Don't worry, we've already agreed that they won't send the photos out. But since I closed the website, there have been a lot of speculations, and we haven't dared to meet in person lately."
Su Ziyu briefly recounted the incident. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time. Jiang Boqi went to visit the crew, and the two stayed in the nanny car for a long time. Naturally, they couldn't help but do something, and as a result, they bumped into the fangirl head-on as soon as they got out of the car.
Coincidentally, the other party did not come with Jiang Boqi. She was accompanying her friend to pursue another actor, and unexpectedly witnessed her boyfriend's love scene in the underground parking lot.
After hearing what Su Ziyu said, Xu Qingye was silent for a while. His luck was really average, he was always photographed.
"What are your plans?"
"Jiang Boqi is preparing to move behind the scenes and slowly withdraw from the public eye. He's not going to quit the entertainment industry, but he may not appear in the public eye as frequently as he does now. As for me, I'm not particularly famous anyway. I only play various supporting roles, and there probably won't be many third- and fourth-tier people paying attention to me."
Su Ziyu felt helpless. After all, their relationship had caused Jiang Boqi to make sacrifices.
Xu Qingye hung up the phone and was silent for a long time. Listening to Su Ziyu's story, he always felt a sense of empathy. If his relationship with Shen Que was exposed one day, the person who made the sacrifice would definitely be Shen Que.
"What are you thinking about? You're so lost in thought. Don't put yourself in his shoes. You and Shen Que are different."
Seeing Xu Qingye's serious expression, Yi He quickly stretched out his hand and waved in front of him, telling him not to let his imagination run wild.
"I don't."
"Nothing, no, I know it from the look on your face. Don't put yourself in their shoes, don't let your imagination run wild. Don't dwell on your own nonsense when you keep giving advice to others."
Yi He stared at Xu Qingye, and Xu Qingye could only nod in acknowledgment.
"Got it, thanks for reminding me."
"Instead of daydreaming about random things, you might as well think about investing in something that can help me make some money. The drama "The Compound" has made so much money, you should find a few more dramas." Yi He rubbed his hands. The rate of return on "The Compound" was too tempting. If he produced a few more dramas, he would be able to achieve financial freedom.
"I will definitely take you with me if there is a chance." Xu Qingye patted Yi He's shoulder and reassured him. Their investment company has already been opened, so naturally they need new business.
