Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Extra Request
Xu Qingye saw Shen Que's Weibo, smiled at his simple self-introduction, logged into his main account, and gave him a like.
The entertainment industry's number one whistleblower has only posted a few Weibo posts, but because he has real gossip, his fan base is huge. Every day, people ask him about various gossips, and some even take screenshots of other marketing accounts to ask him whether they are true or false.
Xu Qingye has been a bit busy recently and hasn't logged into this account much. He quickly browsed through it and picked out a few questions to answer.
Xu Qingye’s answers were all very simple: true, false, not sure, etc.
Suddenly, Xu Qingye's account was widely flipped and became a hot topic again. Because he answered many questions, no one cared about the things he liked.
Xu Qingye’s several accounts have different responsibilities. The “Di Baolaoli” is responsible for exposing news, Xu Cuihua is responsible for blogging, and there are others who are responsible for pulling people down and arguing with others.
It was obvious that Xu Qingye was unable to run the business alone, so he gave the two accounts to Cao Muan and posted a recruitment notice. However, it was not easy to recruit the right people.
Xu Qingye looked at the information of all the accounts and took a look at the major melon groups. He seemed a little bored recently and nothing interesting happened.
With nothing to do, he started to check Weibo again. After finishing a round, he felt a little sleepy. It was too boring. He had to go out and wait for some news.
Qingcheng Film and Television's company is in City C. Xu Qingye packed up his things and set off again. Before leaving, he arranged for Shen Que to meet with Fang Xiaoqi and explained a bunch of issues before leaving. Xu Qingye felt as if he was Shen Que's old mother, but he was really worried.
Qingcheng Film and Television occupies a large area and has an independent building. Xu Qingye presented the interview invitation and someone led him to the third floor.
There is a spacious space on the third floor, where many people are sitting, both men and women, all with young and beautiful faces.
There is anticipation on everyone's face. These people are young people who dream of becoming stars. Sitting here, they are probably imagining their bright future.
Xu Qingye's eyes swept across the faces of these people, and his mood suddenly became heavy. Qingcheng Film and Television was trampling on everyone's dreams and squeezing out all their value.
The model of Qingcheng Film and Television is like raising insects. They sign a large number of new people and make money as long as one of them succeeds.
"Hey, move aside, this is my seat."
Xu Qingye was thinking about how to get evidence of Qingcheng Film and Television when suddenly someone pulled him up. Caught off guard, Xu Qingye almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, someone next to him helped him up.
Xu Qingye was a little confused. He looked at the man who was sitting in his previous seat and wanted to go up to him to argue. The girl who was supporting him saw this and quickly pulled him aside.
"Don't mess with him. I heard his father is a shareholder of the company, and he's just going through the motions here for the interview."
"This company is so unrefined! The ugly child of a capitalist actually wants to pursue his dream of becoming an entertainer."
Xu Qingye glanced at the arrogant man. To say that he looked ordinary would be an exaggeration. He had a lot of flaws.
The lens will cause distortion, so the appearance requirements are very high, including the head-to-body ratio, facial folding, proportion of facial features, etc. Even if the appearance is not outstanding, at least it must look comfortable, otherwise it will be a complete disaster for the audience's eyes.
The girl was amused by Xu Qingye's words and pulled him away.
"Even though it's true, don't say it out loud. It would be bad if someone heard it. I see you look unfamiliar. Is this your first time here? My name is Lin Xiaoya, and I'm a student at the Film Academy. What's yours?"
Xu Qingye didn't react at first, but when he heard the girl's self-introduction, his body suddenly froze and he subconsciously turned his head to look at her.
Lin Xiaoya has a cute baby face and looks non-aggressive. Her eyes and eyebrows are curved when she smiles, which is very cute.
Xu Qingye looked at her, and scenes from the original book emerged in his mind.
In the original novel, besides Chen Que, there was another key figure in the demise of Qingcheng Film and Television.
After Qingcheng Film and Television was exposed for scandals such as yin-yang contracts and forcing artists to accompany drinking, it quickly carried out public relations, held a clarification meeting that avoided all issues and hired a large number of internet trolls to participate, and almost calmed the situation.
When the crisis is about to pass, the appearance of a key figure completely exposes the evil deeds of Qingcheng Film and Television to everyone.
Lin Xiaoya has been signed to Qingcheng Film and Television for five years. She has only filmed one idol drama and a few unknown advertisements. The rest of the time, she has almost nothing to do and is forced by the company to accompany various clients to drink and sing.
Lin Xiaoya wanted to terminate the contract, but the company took out many contracts that Lin Xiaoya was not aware of and asked her to pay a high penalty. Lin Xiaoya had been in the company for five years and had not made any money at all. This penalty was an astronomical figure for her.
Lin Xiaoya couldn't bear the blow, and after posting a suicide note on her account, she jumped off the building of Qingcheng Film and Television.
As the book says, the bright red blood is like a blooming rose, blossoming in the filthy and sinful land, tearing off all the hypocritical masks and revealing the filthy true face inside.
Lin Xiaoya's death brought hope to others, but she was the only one who fell asleep in the eve of dawn.
Xu Qingye shed tears for Lin Xiaoya when he was reading the book. At this moment, a living person stood in front of him. She was even more vivid and lovely than described in the book.
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly dazed? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
Lin Xiaoya stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Xu Qingye. Xu Qingye looked at her with a strange look, but she did not interpret any malice in it.
"It's okay, I just get distracted easily. My name is Xu Qingye, and I'm not studying acting. I'm just sending in a resume to give it a try."
Xu Qingye explained and started chatting with Lin Xiaoya again. As a person who knew the plot, his savior mentality appeared again, and he wanted to change Lin Xiaoya's fate!
"Qingcheng Film and Television is quite strict. You must be very talented to be able to audition even though you didn't study acting. Do you have any special talents?"
Lin Xiaoya was a little curious about Xu Qingye. She had submitted her resume several times before but was always rejected. She was a little surprised to be notified for an interview this time.
"Does being handsome count? I just edited my photos and embellished my resume a bit."
Xu Qingye recalled the process of writing his resume. He felt that his resume embodied the art of language to a great extent.
"Is that okay? But you're really pretty. If I had seen your photo, I would definitely have given it to you."
Lin Xiaoya looked at Xu Qingye and smiled in agreement. Xu Qingye was a good-looking man and his words were very interesting, so the waiting time was not so boring at all.
"Thank you for helping me just now. I'll treat you to a meal later. Maybe we can become colleagues in the future."
"Okay, then I'll treat you to milk tea."
Lin Xiaoya nodded, added Xu Qingye’s contact information and started chatting again.
Lin Xiaoya's appearance is not outstanding, but her temperament is sweet and lovely, and she is the standard image of the heroine in early idol dramas.
Xu Qingye felt that Lin Xiaoya's type could easily become popular, and she was really delayed at Qingcheng Film and Television.
"I'm planning to visit a few more film and television companies before deciding where to sign. Do you want to join me?"
"I've applied to many companies, but received no response. Qingcheng Films is the only one that asked me to interview. If I don't sign, will I have no chance?"
Lin Xiaoya was a little unconfident. She had been rejected too many times and wanted to grab any opportunity she had.
Xu Qingye looked at her, reached out and grabbed her shoulders, and asked her to raise her head.
"If you want to be a big star, you must first be confident enough. You just haven't encountered the right opportunity yet. You've experienced the art exams where thousands of people compete for a single spot. You've already defeated many people, so why are you so unconfident?"
"You look like a pyramid schemer."
Lin Xiaoya looked at Xu Qingye. She didn't know why, but even though he was a stranger, she felt that Xu Qingye was very reliable.
"Then can you let me brainwash you once and give yourself more chances?"
"Okay, I'll trust you this time. If I pass the interview here, I'll go to a few more. If I can pass this one, I'm sure I can pass the others too."
Lin Xiaoya nodded. Actually, Qingcheng Film and Television was not her first choice at the beginning. It was just that after casting a wide net, only Qingcheng Film and Television responded.
The two were chatting when someone called Xu Qingye's name. Xu Qingye greeted Lin Xiaoya and quickly walked towards the office. He gently pinched the buttons of his clothes and turned on the miniature camera hidden in it.
There was a row of people sitting in the interview room, and everyone had a serious expression. Xu Qingye walked in and briefly introduced himself.
The person in charge flipped through Xu Qingye's resume and took a look at it, then looked up and carefully examined him. The photo was a bit over-edited and slightly different from the real person, but overall it was acceptable.
"You're not a professional actor and don't have any acting experience. Tell me about your special talents. I hope you can impress me."
The main interviewer looked at Xu Qingye and asked him to introduce himself.
Before Xu Qingye came here, he designed a persona for himself. He studied the artists of Qingcheng Film and Television. Qingcheng Film and Television likes to sign newcomers who come from ordinary families, are good-looking but well-behaved and obedient. Those with ordinary families are easy to control, those who are good-looking have the hope of becoming famous, and those who are well-behaved and obedient are easy to control.
Xu Qingye put himself in such a shell, and added some lack of confidence.
After listening to the interviewer's questions, Xu Qingye lowered his head and spoke timidly.
"I don't know anything, but I can learn. I really want to act."
Xu Qingye tried his best to look sincere and humble. The four words "I can learn" sounded very student-like, making him sound like someone with very little social experience.
The interviewer frowned when he heard Xu Qingye's words. He wrote something on the pen. Someone came over and said something to him. The person's eyes lit up and he took out his mobile phone and flipped through it.
"Your appearance is okay, but everything else is far from perfect. We prioritize students from the acting and dance departments. You're majoring in media, so you're definitely not up to par in that area. If we sign you, we'll have to spend even more money to train you, which would be a very bad deal for the company."
The interviewer's pen tapped on the table intentionally or unintentionally, and his mouth was full of dissatisfaction with Xu Qingye. If Xu Qingye really came here to make his debut, he should be a little panicked now.
Of course, he really acted panicked.
"I'm willing to learn. As long as they sign me, I'm willing to study very hard. I'm not picky about roles, as long as I can film."
Xu Qingye felt that he had some talent in acting, so he must have looked very anxious and worried.
The interviewer was very satisfied with Xu Qingye's performance. He relaxed his expression and showed a gentle smile.
"The company is also willing to give newcomers a chance, but your qualifications are so poor, so there is an additional requirement."
