Chapter 14 Melon Industry Chain
There was nothing to see after the curtains were drawn, so Xu Qingye looked through the photos he had just taken. When the man walked towards the window, his face was clearly revealed, and Xu Qingye pressed the shutter button just right.
The camera showed a young face that looked to be in his twenties. Xu Qingye was quite impressed by this face, not because his songs were so good, but because his name had frequently appeared on hot searches recently.
Jiang Yining, a singer who is neither cold nor hot, has a love story that is more touching than his songs. He recently announced his relationship, and the other party is also a singer. The two have collaborated at a party, and their four-hand piano duet is regarded as a good story. After the official announcement, there were various congratulations, which was a rare harmonious scene.
Of course, in Xu Qingye's view, it was just that she was not famous enough. Because she was not famous enough, she was treated with tolerance, and because she was not famous enough, no one was injured when the relationship was officially announced.
Thanks to the hot searches about his relationship, Jiang Yining gained followers at an incredible speed, and the new song "Love Announcement" that they collaborated on also topped the new song charts, which can be said to have brought new opportunities to his career.
With both love and career flourishing, he should be in high spirits. However, Jiang Yining's expression did not look good just now. His skin was dull and dark circles under his eyes. He looked like he had been suffering from insomnia for a long time.
The woman holding the child was not his officially announced young lover. The woman looked very ordinary. Perhaps because she had been taking care of the child for a long time, she looked very haggard and her figure was seriously out of shape.
Xu Qingye looked through the photos in the camera. Most of them were taken by Brother Huang before. There were no intimate scenes of Jiang Yining and the child in all the photos. They were in the same picture, but always very far away from each other. They seemed unfamiliar, but they were too deliberately keeping a distance.
Judging from the time, Brother Huang has been following the child for three months, and should have started since the child was born. Now the child in his arms is a lot bigger than in the first photo.
Jiang Yining's relationship was photographed in the past three months, and the official announcement was made last month. If the child is Jiang Yining's, then he is really busy. One woman gave birth to a child for him, and he was sweet and loving with another woman, showing their love and writing new songs, and they also appeared on several variety shows together.
However, Xu Qingye did not dare to jump to conclusions easily. After all, reversals happen from time to time in the entertainment industry.
Brother Huang slept until the afternoon. When he woke up, he first glanced at Xu Qingye. Seeing that he was still in the room, he was quite satisfied. He walked over, picked up the camera and started looking through the photos. There were not many photos taken by Xu Qingye, but they were still useful.
"It's pretty boring to be squatting for an entire afternoon."
Brother Huang put away the equipment and chatted with Xu Qingye. Xu Qingye had been in the industry for a year, and he had been the one who basically led him. However, Brother Huang looked down on Xu Qingye. Xu Qingye looked too good-looking and didn't seem like someone who was in their circle. He looked more like an artist. Brother Huang didn't want to pay much attention to him at first, thinking that he would probably not be able to stay long and would have to leave. Unexpectedly, he was the only one who stayed among the last few interns.
Xu Qingye is a man with secrets, otherwise he wouldn't be doing this job. Brother Huang is not interested in his secrets, but he does take good care of him.
"It's okay, but I can't see anything with the curtains drawn. Brother Huang has been following him for quite a long time, right? Is he a illegitimate child?" Xu Qingye looked at Brother Huang and asked humbly. If the picture was correct, then he must be a illegitimate child, but if he was a illegitimate child, there seemed to be no need to follow him for so long.
"Almost, but more complicated."
Brother Huang took out a cigarette and wanted to smoke it, but he looked at Xu Qingye and put it back. Xu Qingye was a delicate person and couldn't stand the smell of cigarettes. He had a lot of bad habits at a young age.
"The child is Jiang Yining and Xu Jiayi's, but it didn't come from Xu Jiayi's belly. Do you understand?"
Brother Huang simply said that Xu Jiayi is the lover that Jiang Yining just announced.
“You mean they’re doing surrogacy?”
Xu Qingye was a little surprised. He thought it was a cliché drama about a cheating man, but he didn't expect it to be a legal column.
There are quite a few people in the current entertainment industry who engage in surrogacy. People do not have a deep understanding of surrogacy because many foreign countries have a very open attitude towards surrogacy. As a result, many people believe that surrogacy is not an illegal thing and anyone can do it as long as they have money.
But in fact, surrogacy is strictly prohibited in China, and celebrities are public figures, so they should not set such a precedent.
"Since this news doesn't make money, I'll give it to you. Don't you want independence? Independence is not an easy thing."
Brother Huang reached out and patted Xu Qingye on the shoulder.
Not making money means exposing the news. The exposed news is naturally worthless. Valuable news will never be known to anyone. Before appearing in the public eye, the news has already been bought out by relevant people.
"Remember, words are not enough. This matter is still lacking some key evidence."
"I understand. Thank you, Brother Huang."
Xu Qingye thanked Brother Huang sincerely, but Brother Huang seemed a little disapproving.
"Stop talking nonsense. I still have a lot of unsold concert tickets. Please forward this to me and try to sell them all. I believed that kid Meng Qi's lies and got a bunch of tickets for that girl group concert. They're not selling at all."
Brother Huang has many part-time jobs, and scalping is one of them. However, this time he bet on the wrong horse and lost a lot of tickets.
"Brother Huang, stock up on Jiang Boqi's concert tickets. You'll definitely make money."
"You're trying to tease me, right? Jiang Boqi's ticket is not that easy to get. If you could get it, why would you be talking nonsense here?"
Brother Huang glared at Xu Qingye. None of these people were reliable. Either they had poor vision or they talked nonsense all the time.
"I'll get some for you, leave it to me."
Xu Qingye and Brother Huang made a promise, but Brother Huang snorted, not knowing whether he believed it or not.
Brother Huang gave a lot of information about Jiang Yining, which could be further explored. Xu Qingye wrote it down one by one, invited Brother Huang to dinner, and then Xu Qingye went home.
As soon as the door opened, the laughter of Shen Mu and Xiao Xiao could be heard in the room. The two of them were simply having a blast today. They met their idol and discussed cooperation with the idol's agency, and also met many other actors on the crew. They were so excited that they couldn't let go for a while.
"Brother Xiaoye, you're back. Come and sit down."
When Shen Mu saw Xu Qingye, she immediately ran over, took his hand and pulled him to the sofa. She was now full of admiration for Xu Qingye. Without Xu Qingye, how could she have such a wonderful day.
"What's wrong with you? You didn't treat me like this yesterday. Where's your brother?"
Xu Qingye was a little flattered. This girl changed her expression so quickly.
"My brother is in the room. If you're tired, go back and rest. We'll play for a while."
Shen Mu pointed in the direction of Xu Qingye's room, waved to Xu Qingye, and then continued to giggle with Xiao Xiao. Xu Qingye really couldn't understand the fun of girls, so he simply stayed away.
In the room, Shen Que was watching a movie with headphones on, with a notebook filled with notes next to him. Xu Qingye walked over and Shen Que took off his headphones.
"I'm back."
Shen Que greeted him and Xu Qingye responded. His eyes looked at the notebook next to Shen Que. Before Xu Qingye could speak, Shen Que immediately handed it over.
The notebook is filled with Shen Jue's thoughts on watching the movie, as well as some biographies of the characters written according to his own understanding.
Xu Qingye read it carefully. Shen Que grasped the essence of the character very accurately. The basic description was accurate, and he added a lot of his own understanding. The content of the notes was very vivid. The more Xu Qingye read, the more surprised he was. He could only say that he was worthy of being the male lead.
Although he was excited, Xu Qingye did not show any expression on his face. He just naturally returned the notebook to Chen Que and sat down beside him.
Brother Huang gave him a lot of data, which he had to organize carefully. He also needed to investigate Jiang Yining.
Jiang Yining is 35 years old this year. He is considered to have achieved good results among the younger generation of singers. He has his own famous songs. Jiang Yining's commercial value is also good. Although he is not a big star, it is enough for him to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry.
Objectively speaking, Jiang Yining can be considered a successful person with both career and love.
Xu Qingye was searching for Jiang Yining's data. Jiang Yining was born in a poor family. His father was seriously ill and his mother remarried. He lived with his grandparents since he was a child.
Jiang Yining has a good voice. He debuted as the runner-up in a singing competition. Since then, he has been working hard in the entertainment industry. It can be said that he has made a comeback over the years.
His data seemed to be fine, but after Xu Qingye looked at it carefully, he still found something wrong. Three years ago, Jiang Yining suddenly purchased a large number of properties. In addition to buying a house for himself, he also bought several houses for his relatives, but it was obvious that this was a little beyond his consumption level.
Later, Jiang Yining continued to spend money lavishly. Xu Qingye discovered that this was exactly when he and Xu Jiayi met.
Xu Qingye immediately circled Xu Jiayi's name. It seemed that Xu Jiayi was the key person in this matter.
There is very little data about Xu Jiayi, and what can be dug out is limited, but there are still some clues. Xu Qingye found a post on the Haijiao Forum, which vaguely mentioned that Xu Jiayi became famous through some dishonorable means, and also mentioned that her family was engaged in some gray industries.
The more Xu Qingye looked at it, the colder he felt. This matter was far from being as simple as he had imagined. It was very likely that Xu Jiayi and Jiang Yining were not just doing surrogacy. They might be involved in the surrogacy industry chain.
Xu Qingye is just a paparazzi. He could have stopped at this point. If he continued digging, it would not just be entertainment news.
"Depend on."
Xu Qingye hammered the table, and Shen Cheng immediately turned his head to look at him. Xu Qingye shook his head and continued to search for clues.
From that day on, Xu Qingye always went out early in the morning and came back very late, sometimes not even returning home for several days.
An old post on the Haijiao Forum was suddenly pushed to the top, and a large number of marketing accounts online began to forward it.
Gossip Girl: Lately, it's all about the sweet romance between Xu Jiayi and Jiang Yining. Has everyone forgotten her past? [Picture]
Xu Jiayi has a lot of negative news, such as plagiarism, fake academic qualifications, etc. These news have been exposed before, but due to the lack of information, they did not cause much impact. Xu Jiayi still thrives in the circle with her image as a musical talent.
