Chapter 4 Which of the fourth melons is heavier? Which one is heavier?
[Mengmengda Roubao: Sister Moon, I'm going to City C this week to visit Yuyu. If you're free, would you like to join us? We can meet up offline.]
Xu Qingye had become a familiar face in the group and had chatted with Moon a few times. Although it was a bit abrupt to chat with Moon privately at this time, it was still reasonable. When they had schedules, many people would also make offline appointments. After all, the joy of chasing stars together would be doubled.
Moon was chatting enthusiastically in the group. Xu Qingye sent a message and the other party replied quickly.
Moon: Sorry, sister. I've been a bit busy with the 3D world lately and don't have time to follow the schedule. I won't be joining you this time. Let's make an appointment next time if we have the chance. If you have any photos, please share them with me.
Moon's rejection was within Xu Qingye's expectations. He had studied Moon and found that although he had followed many schedules, he had never been with anyone. He was a very mysterious person. Assuming that Moon was the boy that night, this made sense. The boy's identity could not be exposed, so naturally he did not dare to make an appointment with anyone offline.
Xu Qingye replied with a "what a pity" and chatted with the other party for a few more sentences before ending the topic.
City C has gradually become a popular tourist city because of the existence of a film and television base. The film and television city has many scenes, and they are open to the public when there is no crew. Many people are willing to come and take a look, and it would be even better if they could meet a celebrity by chance.
Hotels around the film and television city are the most expensive and are always fully booked. Because film crews often stay in hotels near the film and television city, many fans who chase stars also stay here. Over time, the room prices have been rising.
Xu Qingye spent a lot of money to book a luxury hotel. It was not because he was extravagant, but because there were no available rooms.
After meeting with the real estate agent to discuss his needs, Xu Qingye also made an appointment with Mana.
There were only a few decent coffee shops near the film and television city, and Xu Qingye made an appointment at one of them. It was the peak season, so there were quite a lot of people. Xu Qingye chose a seat in a corner and waited for people.
When Mana received the news, her face turned ugly, and she scolded Su Ziyu before going out to keep the appointment.
Pushing open the door of the cafe, Mana looked inside for a few times. For a moment, she couldn't tell who had asked her out. Xu Qingye saw Mana standing at the door and waved at her, but Mana seemed to ignore him. After looking around again, she took out her mobile phone and sent a message.
Xu Qingye looked at the text message on his phone and shook his head helplessly.
[The number one gossip whistleblower in the gossip circle: Look to the left, I'm waving at you.]
Mana looked up in surprise at the reply message. She naturally noticed the waving boy, but the other party's appearance and temperament did not seem like a marketing account.
Perhaps it’s a stereotype, but most of the marketing accounts Mana has come into contact with are not very attractive in appearance, or have a mercenary and vulgar temperament.
Xu Qingye's appearance is not outstanding in the entertainment industry, but he is considered a leader among ordinary people. He sat there quietly, wearing a pair of glasses and looking very gentle, especially when he smiled, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.
Mana really couldn't connect the person in front of her with the sharp-tongued marketing account on the Internet, so she walked over with some doubt.
"Are you the number one gossip whistleblower in the gossip circle?"
"It's quite embarrassing to be called by my online name. Let me introduce myself. My name is Xu Qingye, and I work in the self-media industry."
Xu Qingye stood up and extended a hand gracefully. Mana subconsciously reached out and shook his hand, still looking at him.
Looking closer, apart from his short stature, he's actually pretty good in other aspects and seems to meet the standards for entering the circle. Maybe with some luck he can even become a bit popular, after all, the circle really likes warm-hearted men.
"Mr. Xu is very different from what I imagined. Perhaps you could change your career. I wonder if you'd be interested in becoming an actor? I have quite a few roles that would be perfect for you."
Mana starts by recruiting people, and she is very skilled at it. Recruiting new people is also a skill that agents must master.
Xu Qingye didn't expect Mana to behave like this, and he smiled shyly. His appearance was quite outstanding among ordinary people, but he was much more ordinary in the entertainment industry. Xu Qingye had a very clear understanding of himself, so entering the circle was never an option for him.
"Sorry, everyone has their own aspirations. I prefer some behind-the-scenes work."
"Being a paparazzi?"
Mana was a little confused. How could Xu Qingye, who looked like a decent person, have such a hobby? The profession of paparazzi was really not worthy of being in public.
"They're not paparazzi, they're marketing accounts. I just happen to have a collaboration I'd like to discuss with you. Here's the data I prepared, you can take a look first."
Xu Qingye corrected Mana's choice of words. He disdained to be a paparazzi. What he wanted to do was to be a behind-the-scenes manipulator, able to make things happen at the touch of a button, stirring up trouble in the circle. Just thinking about it was exciting.
Mana was a little dazed after being stuffed with a stack of documents. She opened it and read it in a daze. The documents were full of data about Su Ziyu. They were very detailed, and analyzed the pros and cons. They also provided specific analysis and solutions to various pain points.
At first, Mana just glanced at it casually, but as she read on, she became fascinated. This was simply a treasure book, and it provided solutions to many of her worries.
Mana looked at the plan, and from time to time she looked up at the good-looking man opposite her, and she felt that he was more and more handsome.
"Teacher Xu, what kind of cooperation do you want to discuss with me?"
Mana put down the document reluctantly and looked at Xu Qingye with some anticipation. Xu Qingye was very sincere in writing this data. Even if they failed to cooperate, she would have gained something by reading this content.
"What I want to do is simple. I'd like to take on promotional duties for some of your company's artists. We can try Su Ziyu as an example. Su Ziyu's biggest problem is the disparity between her popularity and her talent. Her fanaticism is a double-edged sword. I'll help Su Ziyu solve these problems, and her status will rise within a year. In addition to a certain amount of money, I also need some privileges. These include, but are not limited to, visiting her on set at any time and keeping track of her schedule."
Xu Qingye shared his thoughts with Mana. The biggest problem with Su Ziyu is that there are too many and too chaotic fans. At this stage in the entertainment industry, there are no professional fans to be responsible for the connection between fans and stars. Most fans are in a self-satisfied state, lacking spiritual leaders and some organized people. What Xu Qingye wants to do is to become a link between fans and stars and penetrate into the entertainment company.
Although Xu Qingye knew many of the gossips by heart, it was still difficult for him to obtain evidence. If he could cooperate with the entertainment company, these problems would be easily solved. However, since it is cooperation, it would naturally be mutually beneficial.
“You mean, you manage fans as a fan?”
Mana felt that something popped up in her mind, but she couldn't grasp it for a moment. Xu Qingye's idea was very strange, but surprisingly feasible.
After chatting with Mana for an entire afternoon, the two had a very pleasant chat and reached a preliminary intention for cooperation, but some details needed to be worked out. After making an appointment to visit Su Ziyu on set the next day, Xu Qingye left first.
Xu Qingye's schedule was very full. After saying goodbye to Mana, he made an appointment with the agent to view the house.
Almost all the houses near the film and television city are rented by various crews and extras, and most of them have average environments. Xu Qingye is quite particular about where he lives, so he chose a community with a good environment, and the price is naturally much more expensive.
The real estate agent took Xu Qingye around to see the houses and praised them highly.
"Brother, look at this house. It's open from north to south and has excellent lighting. The sun shines for a long time, making it bright and spacious. The feng shui is great, and many celebrities have lived here. You'll definitely get some good luck if you rent it. You might even become an overnight sensation."
The real estate agent thought Xu Qingye was a little actor. Most people who came here had a dream of becoming a star, and he had rented out quite a few houses using this rhetoric.
Xu Qingye walked around the house and automatically blocked out those useless words. This house was newly renovated and probably not many celebrities had lived there. The decoration was pretty good and it was obvious that the owner had good taste. Compared with the several houses he had seen before, this one was very pleasing to the eye. Xu Qingye paid the most attention to appearance, and anything would be fine if he liked it.
"Let's take this one. I want to rent it long-term."
Xu Qingye made up his mind and went out to get some fresh air. A figure flashed by at the end of the corridor. Xu Qingye felt that the figure looked familiar. Just as he was about to chase after it to see what was happening, the two people at the end turned back.
"Housing is very scarce here. There are only a few units left. Don't you have any that you like?"
The agent on the other side no longer had much of a smile on his face. After running around all day, the client still couldn't find a house that satisfied him, and he didn't know if he could get the deal.
The client's guy was handsome and good-looking, the best-looking guy he had seen recently. As he was often in the film and television industry, the agent had seen many celebrities, but this guy was no less handsome than others, and he would probably become famous soon.
The agent was trying to figure out how to continue selling the deal when someone came over from the other side. Seeing the other agent following behind that person, he immediately became alert. Was he trying to steal the deal?
Xu Qingye looked at the person walking towards him with a bit of surprise, then he started laughing. It seemed that he really was Moon, who said he wouldn't come to visit the set, but he was already at the film and television city. "It's just that he can't visit the set with "Meng Meng Da Rou Bao" as "Moon".
"What a coincidence, I actually met you here, do you still remember me?"
Xu Qingye stepped forward and greeted him. This person's appearance was not easy to forget, but he was not sure whether the other party still remembered him, after all, they had only met once.
Shen Que was a little surprised when he saw the newcomer, and his eyes were unconsciously focused on the other person. Because he had an appointment with Mana, Xu Qingye dressed more formally today and looked quite successful.
"It's you, the photographer."
Shen Que laughed. He wanted to say paparazzi, but changed his words when it came to his lips.
"Hahahaha, it's fate that we meet again. Let's get to know each other officially. My name is Xu Qingye, and I'm a self-media person."
Xu Qingye laughed when he heard the serious address. He was quite good at saving people's face.
"Hello, my name is Shen Que, and I'm a senior."
Shen Que stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xu Qingye, but Xu Qingye's expression suddenly froze.
Is it true?
"Your name is Chen Que, which Chen and which Que?"
Xu Qingye's mind was racing. A handsome college student named Chen Que, with the same name and surname and such appearance, could only be the male protagonist, Chen Que!
"The three-point water sinks, definitely."
Chen Que really answered the question, and Xu Qingye quickly figured it out. He immediately broke into a brilliant smile and walked over to put his arm around Chen Que's shoulders in a familiar manner. However, Shen Que was a little tall, so his posture was inevitably a little awkward.
"What a coincidence! Are you renting a place too? I just found one. If you don't mind, we can share. I only stay here occasionally. By the way, what are you doing here? Why do you want to stay here for a long time?"
Xu Qingye ignored the other agent's ugly expression and pulled Shen Que towards the house he liked, and started chatting with him.
