Chapter 134 The melon is a bit like
After Dai Qingyue asked this question, Xu Qingye's expression became a little subtle.
"I can't say whether I like it or not, I just want to support domestic films. Actually, we are in the same industry. I run a public account called Xu Ge Talks Movies, so I am an online film critic. I came to the film festival this time to collect materials, so I basically watch all the domestic films."
When he goes out, he creates his own identity. Xu Qingye has all kinds of accounts. It’s not bragging to mention one at random. He created the account, but the content was not entirely written by him.
"What a coincidence, you also do film reviews, then I will follow you, so we can learn from each other."
Hearing Xu Qingye say that he was also a film critic, Dai Qingyue smiled with some surprise. He took out his mobile phone and searched, and immediately found Xu Qingye's account.
"Your article is very well written, but it's a bit sharp and could be softened a bit. However, your approach is quite good."
Dai Qingyue looked at the content of the account and smiled even brighter. Xu Qingye glanced at Chen Que beside him guiltily. Chen Que's expression remained unchanged, but he held Xu Qingye's hand a little tighter.
"That wasn't entirely written by me. Some of it was written by my partner. I was mainly responsible for operations and creative work, and occasionally wrote a little."
Xu Qingye smiled and quickly pushed Shen Que out. They were all written by Shen Que with great effort. Although they were a family, it would not be good for him to take all the credit.
"That's good. We all have our own strengths and can work together sincerely."
Dai Qingyue glanced at Chen Que and smiled appreciatively, then casually chatted about some recent movies. Chen Que answered fluently and the conversation was very pleasant.
Arriving at the restaurant, the two took off their masks. Dai Qingyue stared at Chen Que for a while, and suddenly said, "Hey, you are the actor of "Night Drifters", right? I didn't recognize you just now, but now you look very familiar. But why are you so young?"
Dai Qingyue was a little surprised. He watched "Night Filled" yesterday. He was a little surprised to see the subject matter. There are very few movies of this type made in China now. After watching it, he felt very amazing. This is not a movie about homosexuality. Even the proportion of homosexual elements is very small. The whole story is connected by a dead person. Because the most important character is dead, other contradictions are weakened. The tragic background is hidden in it, which is faint and not strong, but lingering.
The best part of the movie is that the most crucial character Pei Jiacheng never shows up, leaving plenty of suspense. After watching it, you can't help but imagine what kind of person he is.
Shen Que's performance in the drama is also very outstanding. Originally, this feeling was not strong, but looking at such a young Shen Que in real life, and then recalling his performance in the movie, it is even more amazing.
The character in the movie is supposedly around 35 or 36 years old, a complex character who has experienced a lot but still retains his innocence.
Although Shen Que looked stunning in the movie, Dai Qingyue never imagined that he was so young in real life.
"Well, because of my age, the director hesitated for a long time before choosing me, which caused quite a bit of trouble for the makeup artist. He had to spend a lot of time putting makeup on me every day."
Shen Que nodded and reached out to help Xu Qingye pour a glass of water.
"The director really made the right choice. Let's not talk about work anymore, let's order food first. This restaurant has great food, let's see what you like to eat."
Dai Qingyue asked the two of them to order food. Xu Qingye looked at the menu and chose two dishes he liked, and also chose dishes Shen Que liked.
"Lamb liver is the specialty of this restaurant, wouldn't you like to try it?"
Dai Qingyue looked at the dishes ordered by Xu Qingye and asked casually.
"I don't eat offal, and I don't like lamb." Xu Qingye shook his head. He is not picky about food, but these are the only two things he cannot accept.
"Our tastes are quite similar. I don't eat lamb and offal either." Dai Qingyue was a little surprised. He glanced at Xu Qingye and handed the menu to the waiter.
Dai Qingyue is a talkative person and has a lot of topics to talk about with young people.
"It's fate that we meet again. Let's add each other's contact information."
Xu Qingye took out his mobile phone and added Dai Qingyue on WeChat. Dai Qingyue’s profile picture was a setting sun, looking a little lonely in the golden desert.
"How long will you stay?"
Dai Qingyue took a look at Xu Qingye’s circle of friends, which were all pictures of him chasing stars and attending various events. He seemed to be living a very happy life.
“Let’s wait until after the award ceremony. I’m hoping Shen Que can win an award.”
Xu Qingye calculated the days and thought he would probably have to stay for four or five more days. The crew of "Night Spread" was already here, so he would just do some publicity and attend a red carpet event.
Xu Qingye was not sure whether Shen Que could win the award. Although the crew had made some efforts, it was not easy to win foreign awards.
In the original novel, Shen Que won his first Best Actor trophy when he was almost 30 years old, about three years later. The timeline of the original novel was all advanced because of Xu Qingye, so Xu Qingye was not sure whether Shen Que could win the award this time.
But even if Shen Que doesn't win the award personally, the whole drama still has a chance of winning, otherwise there would be no need to go through the trouble of coming to the film festival.
This is how art films are promoted: first, win an award to hype it up, then release it in China and get a good box office, so that you can have a double harvest of word-of-mouth and box office.
"Shen Que's acting is good, but the Tuya Film Festival is quite prestigious, and it's not easy to win an award. If you just want an award, there are many smaller film festivals abroad that offer much better prizes."
Dai Qingyue is also very familiar with the operation of the film industry. After all, he started out by making movies. Although many years have passed, the basic operation is still the same, especially for films participating in film festivals abroad. The only purpose is to win awards and gain gilded reputation.
These films are naturally excellent in nature, but due to the subject matter and other reasons, they are not particularly easy to pass the review in China, so they need some awards to support them.
"I've participated in some other film festivals, but they only select those with some reputation. Even if I win an award that doesn't hold much value, I'll just be laughed at. The entertainment industry is much more complicated now than it used to be, and even the awards are divided into different levels."
Xu Qingye sighed. If he were to promote an unknown award, he could imagine what nonsense those netizens would say. Most of them would say that it was a shame to brag about winning a fake award.
"The current environment is really unfriendly. Back then, whenever we won an award, we were praised."
Dai Qingyue spread his hands helplessly. Times have really changed. He never expected that winning an award could become a reason to be ridiculed.
After dinner, Xu Qingye said goodbye to Dai Qingyue as he had his own plans for the afternoon.
After the two left, Dai Qingyue called his assistant, and soon a nanny car stopped in front of him.
"Help me check out Xu Qingye."
Dai Qingyue sat in the car and spoke to his assistant.
"Xu Qingye is the unidentified man who was previously trending on the internet with Ms. Xu Hong. Ms. Xu Hong's agent has clarified that this Mr. Xu Qingye is Ms. Xu Hong's nephew. I also found out that Mr. Xu Qingye owns two companies: a media company and an investment company. Both companies are doing well..."
As soon as Dai Qingyue finished asking the question, the assistant answered directly. Dai Qingyue has always been concerned about Xu Hong's situation, so he has been keeping an eye on her. Coincidentally, he had noticed Xu Qingye before, but he didn't expect Dai Qingyue to ask this question. This was a good opportunity for him to show off.
"Nephew?" Dai Qingyue frowned. He took out his mobile phone and searched the last news. The photo was very blurry and he could barely make out the outlines of the two people. Xu Hong's posture in the photo was very intimate, but Xu Qingye looked quite resistant.
Just now when he asked Xu Qingye whether he liked Xu Hong, his expression was also very bad. The relationship between him and Xu Hong must be more than that.
"Can you find out when his birthday is?"
"This will take some time."
The assistant frowned. At this moment, he wished Xu Qingye had a Baidu Encyclopedia. Unfortunately, he rarely posted his personal information online. He didn't even have a private Weibo account that was clearly his. If he wanted to get specific information, he would need some tricks.
"Well, tell me when you find out."
Dai Qingyue responded and searched Chen Que's name on the Internet. He could find more information about Chen Que by searching. As an artist, he had almost no privacy. Dai Qingyue looked at Chen Que's data and was surprised again.
He won the Best Actor award for his first TV series, and this time, "Nightfall", in which he thinks his acting skills are also above standard, is actually his first movie.
"This kid has something to offer. He's good-looking and well-educated, but he's a little young. I don't know if his young heart can settle down."
Dai Qingyue muttered a few words. Although Xu Qingye was also very outstanding, Shen Que was in the world of fame and fortune, and there was no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women around him. It was possible that his heart would be shaken.
After leaving the restaurant, Xu Qingye took Shen Que shopping in the nearby shops. He bought some small gifts to take back home as gifts.
"That Dai Qingyue just now, I think you two look quite similar."
"Ah? Maybe handsome guys always look alike. If I can still have that kind of aura when I'm older, I'll definitely be a hottie in the uncle circle."
Xu Qingye touched his face. He used to think he was just a little handsome, but after being with Shen Que, he felt that he was even more handsome. Perhaps Shen Que's popularity had also rubbed off on him.
"Appearance is one aspect, but the main thing is the feeling." Chen Que took the thing in Xu Qingye's hand and thought about it seriously. In fact, the similarity is mainly in the expression. It is a bit difficult to describe it.
"People with similar interests can talk to each other. Maybe Uncle Dai and I are just destined to be together."
Xu Qingye replied casually and picked up a hat and gestured at Shen Que's head.
"Keep your head down."
Chen Que lowered his head and said nothing more. It was fate that we could talk to each other after meeting by chance, so it was not surprising that we had some similarities.
Yi He and Cao Muan arrived at the hotel and were dragged to work by Xu Qingye just after a night's rest. There were many artists and internet celebrities at the film festival, and there were materials everywhere. Every year, the internet celebrities could make enough money just by riding on the red carpet, not to mention the traffic from the real-time broadcast of the latest news.
Xu Qingye was filming enthusiastically when he saw a review of "Night Filled" which made him very angry. The other party used a lot of insulting language to evaluate Shen Que, saying that he was worthless. Xu Qingye immediately went online on Weibo to confront the other party!
To offend him is like touching an ironclad stone, and the three thousand navy will immediately go to war!
