Chapter 30 The Thirty Melon Interaction
Before Cao Muan could recover from the fortune-telling, he keenly noticed the words "salary deduction" and immediately stood up straight.
"What's wrong? What did I do wrong?"
Cao Muan recalled and there seemed to be no problem. He played the role of a receptionist by serving tea and water.
"Do you really think you're a front desk clerk just because you're serving tea? Singer Meng beat his ex-girlfriend to the point of causing her miscarriage. I've already given you the headline, but don't you want to follow the trending topics?"
Xu Qingye shook his head. Cao Muan was most excited when he was arguing with netizens. Why didn't he come to his senses at this time?
"Boss, they came to you to solve their problem, and instead of solving it, you fanned the flames and exposed their misfortune. Isn't that unethical? Isn't our company's mission to be a righteous marketing account?"
Cao Muan was a little hesitant. What's the difference between this and leaking customer data?
"The problem is solved. The person who came to me was Zhou Xiong. I helped him solve the problem and recommended a new talent to him. He's guaranteed to make money. Besides, I've already told him about it, and he didn't object, right? And besides, you were the one who heard this from the sidelines and posted it. What does it have to do with me?"
Xu Qingye took out a can of Coke from the drawer, took a sip, and showed a typical profiteer smile.
Cao Muan felt a surge of anger rising to the top of her head. This person was waiting for her here.
"Got it. I'll do it right away."
Cao Muan quickly ran out to start the camera and edit the material, ready to release the melon.
On the other side, Zhou Xiong got into the car and glanced at Meng Xi in the rearview mirror.
He suddenly found that the person in the mirror looked a little strange. He still remembered that the first time he saw Meng Xi was in the square of the shopping mall. He was singing alone with a guitar. The songs were not popular because they were niche and not many people listened to them.
Zhou Xiong stopped in front of him and listened to him sing three songs in a row. What did Meng Xi look like at that time? He had slightly long curly hair, personality, and uniqueness. Looking at him, one wanted to know more about him. He was like a mystery.
Meng Xi worked very hard the year he signed with the company, writing songs, recording songs and releasing albums. Everything was moving in the direction of his dream.
Where did it start to change?
Zhou Xiong suddenly couldn't remember. He thought the small problems at the beginning were just Meng Xi's personality quirks, but he started to panic when the problems became bigger.
"Meng Xi, how many years have we known each other?"
Zhou Xiong suddenly spoke. Meng Xi, who was still angry, was stunned by his question. He thought for a while before speaking uncertainly.
“It seems like almost five years.”
"Your contract is about to expire, and it won't be renewed. You'll have to take care of yourself from now on."
Zhou Xiong responded and took another cigarette and put it in his mouth. He didn't light it, but just held it in his mouth. Meng Xi in the back row opened his eyes wide.
"I'll go apologize and compensate her. Can you please not give up on me?"
Meng Xi was a little panicked. He had made many mistakes before, and Zhou Xiong had always covered for him. If the contract was not renewed, he didn't know where to go.
"I was wrong. I've spoiled you too much over the years. I used to admire your eccentricity and regarded everything about you as personality. But I've discovered that's not the case. Your behavior has long crossed the line. Whether I was concerned about our relationship or the money I invested in you, I've been deceiving myself all these years. Only today have I finally come to my senses. I also take half the responsibility for your problems. I will take away the copyrights to your songs, and I will also give you a sum of money after the contract is terminated. Whether you continue singing or live an ordinary life, you must always have a new life."
The car started and the two of them didn't speak again. Zhou Xiong occasionally glanced back and finally let it go completely.
As soon as Cao Muan posted the explosive information, a bunch of people immediately asked who it was, but she didn't use many vague words, which was almost obvious.
Meng Xi has accumulated a lot of fans over the years since his debut, all of whom were attracted by his so-called personality. As soon as the news came out, a lot of people immediately came out to defend Meng Xi.
This time, Cao Muan remained quiet and did not argue with them, but just waited for the real whistleblower to take action.
"What if Meng Xi's ex-girlfriend softens her heart and lets him go? I don't want to be hounded and scolded by these fans every day."
Cao Muan was a little worried. Women are most likely to be soft-hearted. What if Meng Xi could coax someone into submission with sweet words? Wouldn't she become a clown? She had no photos or evidence, and could only rely on plain text output. She felt a little insecure.
"Either you follow up on it yourself, or just let it go. Just earn traffic and that's all. Entertainment news changes so quickly, no one will always remember you. The next time you update a new hot topic, there will be another group of people scolding you. How lively it is."
Xu Qingye turned his chair and looked at Cao Muan. People in their line of work don't have to seek results for everything. Most of the time they just follow the trend and join in the fun. If they could dig up big melons every day, there would be no one left in the entertainment industry.
Cao Mu'an seemed to understand what he heard. Xu Qingye had already packed up and left. This place was really remote, so he hurried home to sleep.
"The Emperor's League" has set a broadcast date, and Chen Que has also been added to the promotion by the official Weibo @. This time, he used another photo taken by Xu Qingye as the accompanying picture. This time it was either a portrait or a photo of him dressed as a soldier taken secretly on the set.
Shen Que: I also played a small soldier in "The Emperor's Alliance", look for me. [Picture]
Xu Qingye asked Chen Que to manage his social media more, but Chen Que hadn't updated for a long time. He hadn't posted since his last self-introduction. The people who followed him were starving for food, and those few seconds of "The Emperor's Alliance" were almost worn out.
Chen Que doesn't post any updates and no one knows what he is doing, which makes a group of people feel very anxious. This time, they finally see a fresh look at Chen Que.
The accompanying picture of Shen Que was a photo taken by Xu Qingye of him sitting on the side in a daze during a break. Although he was wearing an ordinary soldier's uniform in the photo, he looked like a young general who didn't know what war was.
Eat grapes and spit out apple peels: The photo is beautiful, is it a still from the movie? How many roles did you play?
Star-chasing girls are the most powerful: It’s so beautiful, please give me the original picture without watermark.
The little face is yellow: the display screen is dirty, lick it!
Strawberry: So when will the crew release the introduction of the role played by our Xiao Que? I’m very anxious.
······
There were a lot of messages from netizens, and Chen Que selected a few to reply. Whenever he saw someone praising a photo, he would @the account of Guoqueye and proudly say, "He took it."
Shen Que's action instantly brought a lot of traffic to Xu Qingye. Xu Qingye was not looking at his phone at the moment and didn't know what had happened. The takeaway he ordered had just arrived and he was preparing to have a simple meal.
The phone's notification tone rang wildly and vibrated, and the phone almost jumped off the table. Xu Qingye grabbed the phone quickly to see what was going on.
As soon as I clicked on it, a follow reminder popped up. His account actually had tens of thousands more followers.
The account "Ge Que Ye" is specifically used to follow Chen Que. Except for the last time when he tore Xu Hao apart, everything else has been peaceful and quiet.
Xu Qingye has just updated a few posts, all of which are photos taken from the perspective of a fan, showing Chen Que, Chen Que putting on makeup, Chen Que sitting on the side to rest, Chen Que returning to the hotel, etc. They are all candid shots, but the atmosphere in the photos is very good.
The precise interaction made his few messages all carefully browsed countless times, and the background popped up messages about him that were popular enough to be spread widely.
Xu Qingye figured out the whole story, sent a message to Shen Que, and called him immediately after confirming that he was not filming. Shen Que hung up the phone, and before Xu Qingye could react, a video invitation came over.
Okay, I like the interview.
After connecting the video, Chen Que was in the car. It seemed that he had more scenes to shoot in the evening.
"Have you eaten yet?"
Xu Qingye made a classic opening remark. Shen Que hummed and asked Xu Qingye a question in return.
Xu Qingye immediately lowered the camera and took a picture of the takeaway box he had just opened. He ordered fried chicken, which was golden and looked very tempting.
"You're just going to eat this?"
Shen Que frowned, fried chicken was really unhealthy.
As if seeing through Shen Que's thoughts, Xu Qingye smiled. "Fried chicken isn't healthy, but it's fun. People need a dose of happy energy every now and then to maintain their passion for life. But you, what are you messing around with? Why are you @ing me?"
"I just wanted to show off my friend. Besides, didn't you say you wanted to interact more? I'll help you attract traffic, win-win."
"You don't understand the intricacies of this. If you @ me like this, everything I say in the future will be considered as your instruction. They will think I'm a marketing account you support."
Xu Qingye felt somewhat helpless, but luckily this account was only used to post photos, so it didn't matter even if it was considered an account kept by a city slicker.
"Then I'll support you and pay you a salary."
I don't know what touched Shen Que, he actually laughed, holding his chin and looking at Xu Qingye seriously.
"I'm serious, I'll pay you."
"I'm very expensive, you can't afford to support me. I haven't made much money yet, so don't think too much. Just film for me well. When I make a lot of money, I will definitely not be polite to you."
Xu Qingye took a bite of the chicken leg and prepared to give Chen Que a good lesson in ideology and morality. It is easy for newcomers to be dazzled by the prosperity of the entertainment industry.
Meng Xi is a lesson for us. He released some albums, made some money and had a few fans, but he no longer knew his own worth.
Shen Que must not go astray!!!
"Don't spend your money recklessly, save it. Life won't always be smooth sailing, so save it for when things are tough. And don't even think about giving it to me. I have my own money, and I'm not helping you for that. Let me interact with you on Weibo, and from now on, I'll be your exclusive fanboy. I'll interact with you later."
Xu Qingye thought about it and realized that many big fans had posted some intimate photos between themselves and celebrities. This kind of intimacy was not ambiguous, but simply showed the relationship between themselves and the actors. This was also an important reason why those big fans could attract fans. There were always some small fans who wanted to follow them to see their idols in person.
After chatting with Shen Que for a long time, Xu Qingye felt a little dry-mouthed. He hoped that he could understand his good intentions. It is not easy to make a debut, so he should not ruin his future easily.
"There's a very popular word recently, and I think it suits you very well."
After finishing the business, Shen Que looked at Xu Qingye's serious expression and couldn't help but teasing him.
"Looking at the way you smile, it's not a good word!" Xu Qingye looked at Shen Que suspiciously. Was he trying to scold him?
