Chapter 27: Too Deep Into the Play
There was clearly nothing special about Chen's movements, but they looked as if they were carefully planned. Xu Qingye was a little dazed. This man was so charming before he even made his debut. He couldn't imagine what he would look like in the future.
Xu Qingye cleared his throat and pretended that his gaze was not following the water droplets all the way down.
Chen Que was wiping his hair, completely unaware of the situation. He was just a little uncomfortable with the silence across the street. He turned to look at the display and saw Xu Qingye in a daze.
"Are there a lot of things going on? I've been lost in thought after just a few words with you."
"No, no, I just wanted to bring you something when I visit you. Is there anything you want?"
"No, just come here."
Shen Que stayed in the crew, had three meals a day, and didn't have time to use other things, but he really didn't lack anything.
"Okay, I knew you must have missed me. I'll be there right away." Xu Qingye chuckled, but kept typing on his phone. He had ordered coffee trucks, dessert trucks and other support, and he had to ask the crew to take better care of Shen Que.
"Stop being so narcissistic. I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going to rest."
Shen Que rarely showed a relaxed smile. He looked at Xu Qingye. Xu Qingye supported his chin with his hand and stared at him seriously. His eyes were very beautiful and sparkled when he looked at him.
"Well, go to bed early. I'll check my phone for a while. Maybe there will be something hot to catch up on in the middle of the night."
Xu Qingye swiped the screen of his mobile phone, refreshing the hot searches again and again, hoping that he would get a hot word with every refresh. Unfortunately, he swiped many times but found nothing.
After hanging up the video, Xu Qingye washed up, lay down on the bed, changed his posture and continued to browse. This time he received an unfriendly message.
A Weibo user who was a certified actor posted a long essay, which implied in a sarcastic tone that his role was snatched away by someone with great resources. Xu Qingye was originally just watching it as a bystander, hoping to see if he could unearth some drama queen.
The more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong. This person seemed to have a serious inner meaning. In his essay, he mentioned that he had finally won a special role in an S+ costume drama, but it was snatched away by someone else. Now that person has become famous with this role and has received a new drama, while he, the victim, has no one to care about and remains unknown.
There is no particularly profound connotation in the main text, but the direction is very clear in his reply to netizens.
A recently popular, good-looking costume character, a big drama, with a movie star joining, and the newcomer has only a few scenes.
A bunch of keywords were stacked together, and you didn't have to think too much to know who it was. Someone indeed typed the abbreviation of Shen Que's name below. The blogger didn't answer whether it was true or not, but gave the other person a thumbs up.
Xu Qingye frowned as he watched the man's self-directed and self-acted film, then clicked on his homepage to start reading.
This person is called Xu Hao, an extra in Hengdian. He has been an actor in Hengdian for some years. He started out as a background board and gradually got promoted to some special foreground roles. He also played some roles in some small-scale web dramas. He has gained a lot of fans by recording life in Hengdian.
After reading it, Xu Qingye understood that this person should be the actor who was originally decided to play Su Siheng in "The Emperor's Alliance", but something happened that day that caused him not to show up on the scene, and eventually the role was replaced by Shen Que.
Xu Qingye recalled the time and looked through the man's Weibo again, then found a Weibo he posted about filming on another crew. The Weibo was posted the next day, but the photo used a beauty template and had the editing time on it, which was the day before. Xu Qingye took a screenshot and found the photo of Shen Que's extras that he had taken.
As soon as he finished organizing the pictures, several marketing accounts began to repost Xu Hao's Weibo with deep implications.
Xu Qingye took a look at his marketing account group and found that someone had indeed placed an order.
"Tsk tsk, you want to step on Chen Que to get ahead, but you don't even consider whether you are qualified enough."
Xu Qingye clicked his tongue twice. This person had chosen to give up, and now he regretted it and wanted to use him as a stepping stone. How could it be that easy?
After a few marketing accounts posted about it, the matter gained some popularity, but the style of the comments below was not what Xu Hao wanted to see.
Kao~~: Although it may be a bit immoral, I really want to say thank you to Shen Que for playing this role and giving me a visual feast. I don’t mean to say that the original actor is bad, but I really like Shen Que’s face.
I just love tough and handsome guys: Emmmm, after seeing the original actor's photo, he looked quite handsome on his own, but after seeing Shen Que, I really can't imagine what this role would be like. And I think if he was a resourceful actor, he should have just played the male lead. This character's profile doesn't even mention it, so I'm afraid he doesn't have many scenes.
······
Xu Qingye felt warm in his heart when he read the comments from netizens, but he could not tolerate putting such a blame on Shen Que. If he was accused of being a resourceful person, it would have a great impact on his future development.
Xu Qingye sorted out all the evidence, logged into the star-chasing account he had just created for Shen Que, and typed a long string of words.
Indeed Ye: In order to discover new handsome guys, he often stays in the film and television city to chase stars. On the day of filming, he happened to be on the scene. Shen Que was just a small role and had been playing soldiers all the time. In the afternoon, the special actor who was scheduled to be filmed fainted due to excessive weight loss and was sent to the hospital. He could not come to the scene, so Shen Que was pulled in to play a cameo role.
What’s interesting is that I took a look at the Weibo of the actor who claimed that his role was snatched away. On the day he fainted and was admitted to the hospital, he was filming for another crew. How could he be carried to another crew after he fainted, changed into costumes and put on makeup, and happily posted a Weibo?
【Picture】【Picture】
Xu Qingye posted the picture. He probably didn't expect that a watermark would betray him, and he still happily posted it on Weibo.
Xu Qingye posted on Weibo and @ed the official Weibo of "Emperor's Alliance". In this kind of matter, the official statement is the most authoritative.
The role of Shen Que is really too small. It would be a real loss if he was criticized because of such a role.
It's okay to get scolded for stealing the male lead, and cutting out this one minute of scenes won't have much impact on the drama.
Xu Hao was following the trends on Weibo at home. He hadn't noticed Chen Que at first, but recently social media has been pushing popular videos to him. At first, Xu Hao didn't realize it was the role he was originally going to play. It was only when a friend came to ask him that he realized it belatedly.
Watching Shen Que's videos now gives me a different feeling, especially when I see how Shen Que has gained a large number of fans with just these few seconds of videos. It makes me feel like my money has been taken away.
Xu Hao's mind instantly became active, and he wanted to portray himself as a victim to gain sympathy.
After spending money on marketing and internet trolls, Xu Hao waited for his fans to increase, but after half a day there was no movement. He checked the comments on those marketing accounts and was furious with the fans who only cared about looks.
Xu Hao was indignant and argued with others using his trumpet. Not long after, Xu Hao's fans began to increase. He excitedly went to check, only to find that they were all scolding him.
Xu Hao was confused when he browsed Weibo and saw the long article posted by Xu Qingye and the official reply from "Emperor's Alliance".
The official Weibo of "The Emperor's Alliance": There was no incident of stealing roles, but some actors maliciously breached the contract, and we reserve the right to pursue responsibility.
Shen Que was given the task at a critical moment but showed perfect acting skills. Let's look forward to "Emperor's League" and the growth of actor Shen Que.
The official Weibo account not only helped Shen Que clarify the malicious slander, but also praised him highly. I just don’t know if he felt guilty when he wrote “Looking forward to "The Emperor's League" and looking forward to actor Shen Que”. After all, the trailer has already shown all of Shen Que’s scenes.
After Xu Qingye finished his work, he stretched comfortably. If you want to play with the Internet and public opinion, you still have to look at him.
Hearing that Xu Qingye was going to visit the set, Cao Muan also insisted on going. Since having one more person wouldn't make much of a difference, he took her along. However, he regretted it soon after they left the house. The three girls' chatter was so noisy that Xu Qingye felt like his ears didn't have a second of peace.
City Z is a comfortable city with a slow pace of life and a high level of happiness per capita. The crew is in a small town and needs to transfer after getting off the high-speed rail.
It was already evening when they arrived at the crew. Shen Que took them to the hotel. When Shen Mu saw him, he gave him a warm hug. It was rare for brothers and sisters to be so close.
"Brother, please sign a hundred autographs for me!"
"I want one too. I want one too."
Shen Que let go of Shen Mu, and suddenly felt that this closeness was better off not having it.
"Things are valuable because they are rare. If you sign a hundred, they will be worthless. Each of you should keep one or two. When Chen Que becomes famous, you two will be rare commodities."
Xu Qingye shook his head, the two girls were short-sighted.
"You're the only one who understands, profiteer."
Chen Mu felt a little embarrassed, but based on the principle of not embarrassing himself or others, he chose to attack Xu Qingye.
"Mumu, be polite."
Shen Que frowned, pulled Shen Mu to his side, and asked her to apologize to Xu Qingye. Shen Mu lowered her head reluctantly.
The hotel where Shen Que was staying was booked by the crew, and the hotel he booked for them was next door. After sending the people over, Shen Que was about to go back. Xu Qingye threw his things into the room and quickly followed him out.
"It's getting dark. I'll take you back."
After Xu Qingye finished speaking, he walked forward boldly. Shen Que quickly caught up with him and grabbed him.
"You're going the wrong way. It's over there."
Xu Qingye staggered and changed direction awkwardly.
The night in the small town is very quiet, and the chirping of insects and birds is particularly clear. Walking slowly on the path, my mood becomes relaxed with the gentle evening breeze.
"You were the one who handled that online thing, right? That one was really wild?"
"Hmm, the name is so obvious, is there anything to doubt?"
Xu Qingye nodded. He racked his brains to come up with this ID. He would definitely become the leader of Shen Que's fans in the future, so the ID had to be grand and catchy.
After thinking over and over for a long time, he finally came up with this name. It was indeed wild, and the "ye" in Xu Qingye was indeed wild!
"You have a way with names. They're really good."
Shen Que recalled Xu Qingye's various accounts, which was already very normal.
"Of course, I'm just an ordinary internet naming genius. Please call me Brother Ye from now on."
Xu Qingye smiled proudly. He made an anti-theft watermark for himself, which was a cursive Chinese character "野". All materials produced in the future would be marked with his mark.
The two hotels were not far from each other, so I sent the person to Xu Qingye and then went back.
The next day, Xu Qingye arrived at the crew early and brought breakfast to all the main creative staff. The coffee cart and snack cart were all in place.
The support car is covered with accurate photos and cartoon avatars, and even the coffee cups are customized, which is very comprehensive.
Everyone in the crew was happily enjoying the benefits brought by Xu Qingye, only Shen Que sat far away, feeling a little awkward.
Is this what Xu Qingye meant by bringing nothing?
"Teacher Lu, I've heard of your great name for a long time. Our Chen Que would like to ask you to take good care of him. Although this is his first time filming, he is definitely the type who will benefit from the support of the ancestors. He will be able to open his mind with just a little guidance."
Xu Qingye was standing by watching Shen Que filming. When he saw the recently popular screenwriter Lu Zhiwen, he immediately went up to him and started chatting with him.
Lu Zhiwen is a screenwriter who has become popular recently. What he is most praised for is his boldness in hiring people. He always chooses roles based on their appropriateness, regardless of their qualifications, popularity and other external conditions.
Naturally, his boldness was ridiculed at first, but he proved himself with the success of one drama after another. Now, everyone in the circle is trying every means to appear in Lu Zhiwen's dramas.
"Well, Shen is indeed a rough diamond. If you carve it well, there will be unexpected surprises."
Lu Zhiwen nodded. After interacting with Shen Que, he found that Shen Que had a very high level of comprehension. He also had his own understanding of the role. When he encountered an unreasonable script, he would take the initiative to communicate with him. Such a thoughtful actor was very rare.
Shen is indeed a gifted actor. He devotes himself to the role, experiencing the character's joys and sorrows, and contributing more perfect acting skills. However, there is a problem with this kind of dedicated acting. Over-involvement may cause the actor to be too slow to get out of the role.
"Are you his friend?"
Xu Qingye chatted for a few words and then took the camera to shoot at Shen Que. Today's scene was a rooftop scene. The male protagonist Gu Li finally realized the fact that his parents did not love him. He used to rely on excellent grades to gain his parents' attention and love, so he spent a lot of effort to study, just hoping to get more care.
But now, these things are no longer useful.
Gu Li stood on the rooftop and tore all the test papers into pieces as if to vent his anger. He lifted them up with force and the pieces of test papers fell like snowflakes. Gu Li stood there crying.
Shen Que's crying scene was particularly wonderful and very contagious. He was sobbing there, and everyone's heart was gripped with grief.
Lu Zhiwen looked at Shen Que, feeling happy but also a little worried.
"Well, our relationship is as close as family."
Xu Qingye nodded, classifying the relationship between the two as closer than friends.
"Shen Que's acting is excellent and he seems to be born for this, but he gets too immersed in the role and is easily affected by the character's emotions. Just like today, when the director called cut, he was probably still immersed in the role and you had to help him out."
It is very harmful for an actor to get too deeply into a role, especially if the fate of the character he plays is too tragic. He may be trapped in the character's world and unable to get out.
Xu Qingye's hand froze as he pressed the shutter button. He put down the camera and looked at Lu Zhiwen nervously.
"What can I do to help him out?"
"You don't have to be too nervous, just spend more time with him and let him know that he is calm. Although the character of Gu Li is a bit depressed in the early stages, the overall tone is bright. This is a healing drama, and he won't fall too deeply into depression. But just in case, it's best to spend more time with him after filming the last few scenes, take him out to play, and relax."
"That's easy. I'm sure I can make him happy."
Xu Qingye breathed a sigh of relief. He was willing to play, eat and sleep with Shen Que, and would never let Shen Que feel sad for a minute outside the play.
The filming of "A Summer Named After You" started in a low-key manner. Since there were no famous actors or actresses, there were not many paparazzi or fans around. Occasionally, there were a few people who came for Lu Zhiwen, but after watching for a few days, some people changed their target to Chen Que.
The recent filming is of the high school part, and Shen Que is always wearing a school uniform. It is obviously the most traditional ordinary school uniform, but when it is worn by him, he looks like a handsome senior. In addition, the recent scenes have given Shen Que a melancholic temperament, which makes him particularly charming.
"It was the first time I saw my brother act, and he was so amazing, I cried."
Shen Mu held up his phone and took a short video, ready to send it to his parents. His brother's crying was really contagious.
"He's a talented player. He's going to be very famous in the future."
Xu Qingye spoke with some pride. Shen Mu glanced at him and wondered whose brother Shen Que was. What was Xu Qingye so proud of?
After finishing a scene, the heroine Zhuang Yang couldn't help but hug Chen Que. Seeing him with tears in his eyes made it easy for her to overflow with maternal love. Who could resist giving a sad puppy a hug?
"Are you really not studying acting?"
Zhuang Yang was a little bit unconvinced. Shen Que's emotional outburst was so well acted that she almost lost control of the scene several times.
"Well, I studied philosophy, but acting and philosophy also have something in common. I'm always thinking." Shen Que thought of Xu Qingye's twisted theories and used them to fool people naturally. Zhuang Yang nodded repeatedly when she heard it. Shen Que's understanding of the role was indeed profound, which made her, an excellent student majoring in acting, feel a little inferior.
After chatting for a while, the two went to rest. Chen Que walked towards the crowd, but before he got close, he was surrounded by three girls, and then there was a wave of admiration and compliments.
"Brother, you are awesome. I am crying. Ahhhhhhh, I want to tell the whole world that you are my real brother."
"I really didn't follow the wrong person. Seeing you act live was even more shocking. When this drama is released, I will change my phone screensaver to a picture of you crying. It's so beautiful that it makes me cry."
"My creative urge is stirring. I want to write, I want to edit photos, and I want to introduce you to the world."
······
Xu Qingye looked at the scene in front of him, shook his head, and said to Lu Zhiwen beside him: "It seems that there is no need to worry about him not being able to act out of character. There are not so many good sisters in the play."
Lu Zhiwen had not expected this scene either. He felt that he was worrying too much.
Shen Que was surrounded and cast a look at Xu Qingye for help. Xu Qingye immediately understood and rushed forward.
"Sisters, can you let Brother Shen rest for a while?"
Xu Qingye pulled the person out, and his assistant Fang Xiaoqi immediately stepped forward to take Shen Que to remove his makeup. Today's scenes had all been filmed, and it was still early enough for them to go out for a walk together.
Cao Muan had plenty of free time during his internship with Xu Qingye. Chen Mu and Xiao Xiao could not stay for a few days, so Xu Qingye decided to take them out for a walk in the evening. Since they came to City Z, they had to experience the local customs and culture.
Removing makeup takes time, and several people are waiting on the side. Cao Muan habitually takes out his mobile phone to see if there is any new gossip. When he clicks on it, he sees several fiery red "explosion" characters.
"Fuck, drug addict melon."
Cao Muan clicked on the hot search and saw that the well-known actor Chen was reported by the people of Asahi for gathering to take drugs. He has been taken away by the police and is currently filming the TV series "The Compound".
As Cao Muan watched the news go viral, he immediately found some videos of Chen and started editing them to keep up with the hype. Marketing accounts are very particular about timeliness, and if you don’t post if everyone else does, you’ll miss out.
Before Xu Qingye could look at it, his cell phone rang and Su Ziyu's excited voice came from the phone.
"Wow, wow, wow, you're amazing! I haven't even started working out yet and you're already collapsing? Do I have any hope of getting that role? There are so many people eyeing it right now."
"The path has been pointed out to you. Just work hard. I've already informed the crew about you. They will give you serious consideration."
"Brother Ye, are you so capable? Will the crew of "The Compound" listen to you?" Su Ziyu was a little skeptical. Their company had investigated Xu Qingye, and Xu Qingye didn't have any background. He was just smart.
"Well, it's just a deal. I told the crew before the news broke, giving them time to respond. In exchange, the crew agreed to give you more opportunities."
Xu Qingye said it lightly, but Su Ziyu knew how complicated it was. He thanked Xu Qingye again and said that the money he gave Xu Qingye was really worth it.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. This is an additional item and needs to be charged separately. Marketing accounts are all businessmen and will not suffer any loss."
Xu Qingye smiled cunningly. Su Ziyu choked for a moment, then said cheerfully, "If you get the audition, I'll give you a big red envelope. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any loss."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Qingye found that Cao Mu'an was staring at him. He was startled and took several steps back.
"You reported it? Are you the Asahi member?"
"That's fine if you must. After all, my house is in the Asahi neighborhood, so I'm considered an Asahi resident."
Xu Qingye nodded. Drug abuse was easy to investigate. Xu Qingye hired two paparazzi to keep an eye on him and call the police immediately if they saw anything unusual. He thought it would take some time before he was caught. It was his fault for not being able to control himself.
"Well, if you don't share the big news with me right away, then I'm not a good employee of yours."
"You are just an intern. Know your status."
"Then can I apply for a permanent position? I've been interning for quite a while. If I become a permanent employee, will I be able to enjoy the fruits of my labor?"
Cao Muan was a little excited. Xu Qingye was even more powerful than she thought. These were several big melons. He was simply a blasting expert. Every time he blew something up, it collapsed.
"Are you really planning on staying here for a long time? You graduated from a media university, so why don't you find a proper job after graduation?"
"Isn't being a marketing account a serious job? Some graduates from Qingbei University sell roasted sweet potatoes, so why can't graduates from Communication University be marketing accounts? You only live once, so you should do what you love. I like chasing stars, and a marketing account is the most suitable job for that. Chasing stars means making money, and it's both work and fun, which makes you feel relaxed."
Cao Muan looked at Xu Qingye very seriously. There is no high or low in jobs, only whether you like it or not. Now she likes this job very much, and she will make other plans when she doesn't like it anymore.
"Sister Cao is so cool, I want to learn from you."
Cao Muan spoke so passionately that Xiao Xiao couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
"Then work hard. If you pass the performance appraisal, you will be promoted to a regular employee."
Xu Qingye didn't say anything more. After all, it was Cao Muan's own life, and she only had to be responsible for her own choices.
The internet was flooded with reports of drug-addicted artists, and people thought that some artists with similar scandals were being dragged out for discussion. Xu Qingye logged into his main account and posted a Weibo post in which he attached the content of his own report and claimed his identity as an Asahi mass.
The entertainment industry's number one gossip king: If you want to be a member of the Asahi crowd, you must first own a piece of land in Asahi! Hehehe~
Xu Qingye's revelations were all very straightforward. The words and tone used in his account were as cold as a human or a machine, like a judge in the entertainment industry. His life or death was unpredictable once he posted something on Weibo.
Although the tone this time was a bit mean, it had a lot more of a living air.
Netizens immediately started making fun of it.
Eat the cake but not the egg: Oh, it turns out to be a living person. I thought it was a robot.
Lived another day: It turns out that I can’t become a member of the Asahi Masses because I have no land. I lost!
Don’t bully the poor young man: It’s so funny, the smell of living people is so strong, why did I install a human robot before!
The poor are happy but unhappy: I feel so uncomfortable when I clicked in. Are all the marketing accounts so rich? How can they say that Asahi has a piece of land?
······
Xu Qingye refreshed his page and was about to tease netizens when he saw the dense messages and likes, but Shen Que had already changed his clothes and walked out.
After removing his makeup, Shen Que looked natural and unpretentious, like a lotus emerging from clear water, as white and tender as a peeled egg. He wore a simple sportswear with no matching outfit at all, but Xu Qingye thought that this outfit was particularly good-looking and even wanted to buy a similar set.
As soon as Chen Que arrived, Xu Qingye instantly forgot about his netizens, stuffed his phone into his pocket, and pulled Chen Que out.
The night in the small town is quiet but full of life. The night market is crowded with people, and various aromas mixed together, whetting people's appetite.
There were also some small stalls displaying some interesting gadgets. A few people found a food stall and sat down, and asked the owner to recommend a few dishes.
The boss was a talkative man. After we took our order, he didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, he stared at us for a while and then lowered his voice.
"Are you guys here to film a movie? I think you guys are really good-looking. I heard there's a big star coming to town recently, but I'm too busy here, otherwise I'd like to go and see them."
The boss was smiling and looked very simple. It was no secret that the crew was filming in the town. Occasionally, people would come to watch nearby, but most people were not very interested. After the novelty, they lost interest.
"We are here to film a movie, but we are not big stars. We are just small shrimps."
Xu Qingye chuckled, the shadow of being rejected by Qingcheng Film and Television still hanging over his head. So soon, someone with vision came to praise him for having a star look. He had to be happy!
"Big stars all started out as small roles. I think you can all become big stars. I'll give you a special dish. It's a riot of color. You'll definitely become famous after eating it!"
The boss left with a smile, and Xu Qingye shouted thank you to him. No one on the busy street paid any attention to the movement on their side, as everyone had their own things to do.
"Let's drink to our future success in our respective fields."
Xu Qingye poured drinks for everyone. Except for him, everyone else at their table was a college student, so they could only drink some sweet water.
"My brother became famous, and then he wore clothes designed by Xiao Xiao and me, so I became famous too. Brother Ye and Sister Cao also became famous for reporting gossip about my brother!"
Shen Mu picked up the cup and took a big sip. What a wonderful future this was. Just imagining it made people feel happy.
"Many years from now, we will sit together for dinner and chat like we did today. By then, we will have the best actor, the new designer, and the top marketing account."
Xiao Xiao also followed his imagination and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
"Boring, I'm just imagining things. Why not be bolder? Chen Que is an international film star, Chen Mu and Xiao Xiao are exhibiting at Fashion Week, and I, along with my employee Cao Muan, have opened the largest media company to control all the gossip and the entire entertainment industry."
"No, according to your assumption, my brother will also be controlled by you, this won't do!"
Shen Mu interrupted Xu Qingye with some dissatisfaction. Even if it was hypothetical, his brother could not be inferior to others.
"I'm being manipulated, okay? You're so stingy."
Xu Qingye muttered something and moved closer to Shen Que.
"If your sister and I fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?"
"Xu Qingye, are you childish?"
Chen Mu was angry. What did Xu Qingye mean?
Shen Que was originally watching a show, but he didn't expect the fire to burn himself. He coughed lightly and cleared his throat.
"Save you. My sister is on the provincial swimming team in high school. She shouldn't need me to save her."
"What if your sister can't swim?" Xu Qingye insisted. They are all family, so a younger sister may not be closer to you than her stepbrother.
"Eat, it's getting cold."
Shen Que refused to answer and added a chopstick of food to Xu Qingye's bowl to block his mouth.
"Let's have dinner together again in three to five years. I wonder if we can become what we want to be by then." Xiao Xiao took a sip of her drink. She looked at the others and had no doubt that they would succeed, but she herself seemed to be a lot worse in comparison.
“Anyone who can can become whoever they want to be.”
It is easy to get noisy when a group of people are together. After dinner, a few of them took a walk together to digest the food, and only returned to the hotel after the stalls started to close.
Xu Qingye sent Shen Que back, and as soon as he got on the elevator, he leaned towards Shen Que again.
"Your sister is no longer here, so you can answer. Will you save me or her?"
Shen Que looked at Xu Qingye and couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"You, you, you, save you, okay."
"Yeah, I know you will definitely choose this." Xu Qingye nodded with satisfaction, then stuffed a small bag that looked like a sachet into his hand.
"I saw it at a small stall just now. It's a blessing blind bag. The blessing message inside can only be read by yourself. You can go back and take a look. I heard it's very effective."
Shen Que took a look at the sachet in his palm. The workmanship of the sachet was very delicate, and there were flowers embroidered on it. Although Shen Que couldn't tell the quality of the embroidery, he could see that the sachet was made with great care.
"Have you opened it? Is it the wish you want to fulfill?"
Shen Que looked at Xu Qingye. They had been together just now, so when did he buy it secretly?
"That's all. I don't have any special wishes. I just hope you can become a movie star and become famous all over the world. I'll also ride on the popularity."
After Xu Qingye finished speaking, he waved to Shen Que and told him to go back quickly because he had to put on makeup early the next morning and needed to rest early.
Returning to the room, Shen Que closed the door and leaned against it. He carefully opened the sachet. There was a small pull-down strip in the sachet. Shen Que carefully unfolded it and saw only four words written on the note.
May all your wishes come true.
Having your wishes come true is a general wish that is difficult to achieve. Sometimes you don’t even know what you really want.
Shen Que looked at the words on the paper, walked to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out. Xu Qingye had just walked out of the gate. He was looking at his mobile phone while walking. Perhaps he was too focused on it, and his foot was tripped by a stone. He staggered. He steadied himself and immediately looked around, as if he was afraid that others would see his embarrassed appearance.
Shen Que couldn't help but laugh. Xu Qingye looked a little older, but he still had the mind of a child at heart.
Due to various reasons, the others left one after another. Xu Qingye was the only one free, so he continued to stay in the crew and basically took over the job of Shen Que's assistant. After staying for a long time, he also found that Shen Que was slow to act, especially in some emotionally depressing scenes, and nothing could be seen on the surface after he finished acting.
When Shen Que was alone, he seemed to fall into the role again.
At first, Xu Qingye didn't notice that after filming the scene where Gu Li broke up and quarreled with his family, Shen Que was still talking to him with a smile. Shen Que went to buy him a drink, and when he returned to the lounge, he found that Gu Li was sitting there alone in a daze, with red eyes, and looked very sad.
Chen Que also likes to daydream, but the two are different. When Chen Que daydreams, his mind is empty and he has no expression. He comes back to his senses as soon as you call him.
But that time, Xu Qingye called him several times without any response. He walked over, but Shen Que just looked up at him and continued to be in a daze. It was not until Xu Qingye pushed him that he seemed to slowly come back to his senses, but subconsciously hugged Xu Qingye, and it took him a long time to completely come back to his senses.
This situation has happened two or three times. It's not serious but it's quite scary. The plot of this drama is still sunny. He can't imagine what he will become if Shen Que plays a more depressing drama.
Xu Qingye secretly consulted someone and found out that it is not uncommon for actors to be unable to act out of character. This usually happens to actors who have just entered the industry. Because they are too emotionally involved, they cannot distinguish between the role and the person.
Some people will naturally become separated after filming more scenes, while some people will get deeper into it. In the early stages, it is important to relax more. If you are really too immersed in the role, you need to seek psychological counseling.
Xu Qingye felt a little worried after hearing this. The original novel didn't mention these things. Could it be that the male protagonist had to be handsome, strong and tragic?
Xu Qingye didn't want Shen Que to become a drama maniac.
Xu Qingye consulted a professional psychotherapist, and then started taking Chen Que out every day after filming.
"Want to go running tonight? Or play badminton?"
Shen Que was putting on makeup, and Xu Qingye sat next to him planning tonight's activities.
"Why are you so energetic lately? Thinking about exercising every day? I want to take a day off."
Shen Que has been going out with Xu Qingye every day recently. He was quite happy at first, but it became a bit too much after so many times. He took a look at today's notice and realized that it would be past nine o'clock when they finished filming.
"I'm just worried you'll be bored. It's okay if you don't go. How about we go watch a movie together or something?"
Xu Qingye smiled awkwardly, thinking of doing something relaxing, when his chair was suddenly pulled and he slid in front of Chen Que.
Shen Que put his hands on the armrests of Xu Qingye's chair and moved closer to Xu Qingye.
"You've been acting weird lately, what happened?"
Being stared at by Chen Que, Xu Qingye felt a little embarrassed. He wanted to avoid Chen Que's gaze, but as soon as he turned his head, Chen Que pinched his chin and turned him back, forcing him to look directly into Chen Que's eyes.
Shen was indeed wearing makeup, but it wasn't too heavy; it just deepened his natural features, making him look a little fiercer. Being stared at by him felt like being hunted.
Xu Qingye was thinking about how to start the conversation. He couldn't tell Shen Que that he was afraid that he would get too immersed in the role and become a psychopath.
Just as the situation was at a stalemate, Xu Qingye's cell phone rang suddenly, and Xu Qingye immediately felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"The phone is ringing, I'll answer it first."
Shen Que let go of Xu Qingye, and Xu Qingye immediately ran away. It was an unfamiliar phone call. Xu Qingye wanted to hang up, but he still answered it because he remembered it in time.
As soon as the phone was connected, a man's voice came from the other end.
"Hello, do I know you want to check on me? I want to make a deal with you."
