Chapter 41 The Capitalist's Child
Having his hand held, Xu Qingye sat down again and pulled his hand back with force. Although Shen Qing was thin and small, he was quite strong.
"After you wrap up filming your current drama, consider participating in a reality show, a travel variety show, or a slow-paced variety show. Choose one that best reflects your personality. I also suggest you manage your social media like you would your WeChat Moments, showcasing more of your personality traits."
Xu Qingye briefly talked about his suggestions. Of course, if they formally cooperate, some operational and promotional methods will be added, but these are follow-up issues.
After listening to Xu Qingye's suggestion, Shen Qing thought about it for a while, not quite understanding it. She raised her hand like a good student.
"Teacher, I have a question."
"explain."
Xu Qingye has a very good attitude. If the customer has any questions, he will naturally explain them clearly. After all, the plans he sets up require the customer's serious cooperation to be implemented, so the customer himself must approve of his plans.
"When I first entered the industry, a senior told me that actors should maintain a sense of mystery and not reveal too much besides the role, otherwise it would be easy for people to lose touch with the role during the performance. Therefore, I have rarely participated in variety shows in recent years, just to maintain my mystery. But my teacher's advice is the opposite. I want to ask why you proposed this plan? Of course, I don't doubt your plan, I just have some doubts."
Shen Qing asked cautiously. She had been doing really badly over the years, which made her a little unconfident.
"There's nothing wrong with what you said, and I agree with it. However, everyone's situation is different, and even the truth doesn't apply to everyone. You're currently trapped by your role. People only think of you as a villain. What you need to do is change this stereotype. Exposing yourself more in this situation is a good way to show yourself."
"Although I haven't had much contact with you, through your WeChat Moments and our brief interactions, I feel that you have a very likable and attractive personality. You can use variety shows and social media to show a different side of you to the audience, directors, producers, and others. Of course, I will also help you with some marketing. In about six months, I will help you re-establish your image, but the specific persona cannot be determined yet. I don't like artists to establish a persona that is too different from their own. I want to wait until you participate in variety shows and get feedback from the audience to get a persona that suits you, and then strengthen it."
Xu Qingye briefly analyzed the pros and cons. Shen Qing didn't quite understand what he said, but she felt it made sense.
"Then give it a try?"
"These are minor issues, and the fees won't be too high. If you're worried, you can wait until you see results before paying. If you get a different role in six months, I'll pay you a lump sum of 300,000 yuan. If nothing changes, I won't have to pay you anything. I can write all of this into the contract. What do you think?"
Xu Qingye was very confident. This contract was almost a gambling agreement. Shen Qing gave him a thumbs up.
"This is what confidence feels like! I feel really encouraged. Don't worry, I will definitely help you make this money. I will work very hard to do as you say."
After talking with Shen Qing, Xu Qingye took Su Ziyu out together, and the specific contract would be signed later.
After leaving the door, Xu Qingye looked at Su Ziyu seriously.
"Do you know how many mistakes you made today?"
"Ah? Me, what did I do?"
Su Ziyu didn't expect to be scolded as soon as he went out. He pointed at himself uncertainly, suspecting that Xu Qingye had mistaken him for someone else.
"Of course it was you. You were in the same hotel room with an actress for hours, and you were photographed with no explanation. You didn't bring your agent's assistant, and neither did she. What's the difference between you and a date? And it was in a hotel in a film and television studio, where the paparazzi hang out the most. You wanted to make a big deal right after joining the set? You're lucky you weren't photographed."
Xu Qingye suddenly felt that Mana was very tired, and Su Ziyu felt stupid.
"I don't like girls. If I get photographed, the worst that can happen is I can just reveal my sexual orientation."
"Do people believe you just because you said it? Don't be naive. Besides, even if they believe it, it won't change the fact that they attacked you. Maybe you like boys and won't let girls go either."
"Not really. It didn't take long, less than an hour."
Su Ziyu felt a little guilty. He imagined himself being photographed and becoming a trending topic. By then, everyone would talk about it and he would not be able to explain himself. The most important thing was that Jiang Boqi would see it. Although he had already reported it to him, if he was really photographed and the marketing accounts exaggerated it, he could not guarantee that Jiang Boqi would not have any thoughts in his mind.
"You can do a lot in an hour. Pay attention."
Xu Qingye patted Su Ziyu's shoulder, and Su Ziyu immediately stood up straight.
"You're right, I was too careless. I will definitely pay more attention next time."
"You go back to work. I'll go back and prepare the contract. Thank you for this. I'll edit a small video of you praising me for free. What kind of compliment do you want to hear? Praise your acting skills, praise your handsomeness, or praise your humor?"
"If you must compliment me, just say I'm handsome. Anything else would be a bit forced."
Su Ziyu smiled sheepishly. Sometimes he also liked to see fans praising him.
"Ok, I'll post it soon."
After Xu Qingye finished talking with Su Ziyu, he took a taxi back to his residence. Shen Qing's plan still needed to be refined, so he planned to take a general look at Shen Qing's play.
Xu Qingye watched intently. Chen Qing had filmed many dramas after her debut, almost all of which were roles of vicious female supporting characters. Moreover, each vicious role was different and covered all aspects. Xu Qingye suddenly understood why some people would get too deeply into the drama and attack Chen Qing. Her acting skills were really good, and she played the villain to the core.
After watching some clips, Xu Qingye recalled the brief time he spent with Shen Qing today, and he actually felt a sense of disconnection. In reality, Shen Qing was relatively simple and a bit careless. She would even hand her cell phone to others and speak without reservation.
Being true to one's nature is a marketing point, and adjustments can be made based on audience feedback.
Xu Qingye was working seriously when two messages popped up on his phone. He had no intention of reading them, but when he glanced at the one with Shen Que's name on it, he immediately clicked on it.
The push message was from an account whose ID asked me to push a blogger who would never collapse. She posted a video of herself waiting for Chen Que to get off work.
I recommend "Never Collapse": Who understands this beautiful newcomer period? We just hung out for a bit, then had an all-you-can-eat meal. Chen Que bought us coffee and a small cake, even called us a taxi so we could go home early. Most importantly, he even took off his mask to take a photo with us. It was truly a day filled with happiness. He's so handsome!!!
The blogger posted a long string of flattery, and in the accompanying video, Chen Que had already gotten into the car. After several girls caught up with him, Chen Que directly opened the door and got out of the car. At the same time, he took off the mask on his face and greeted all the fans very cordially.
Hearing that they had been waiting here for almost two hours, Shen Cheng immediately asked his assistant to order coffee and snacks. While waiting for the delivery, he chatted with the fans. Although he didn't say much, he was very friendly.
The blogger only shot a short video, and the scene of him getting off the car and taking off the mask was very touching.
Xu Qingye watched the video again, especially the part where they got off the car, which he watched over and over again.
"Is this a talented player? Even the fan interaction is so good."
Xu Qingye couldn't help but admire him. He clearly didn't even know what Fansa was before he set out, but now he has become a hot topic thanks to his Fansa video.
Xu Qingye turned off the video and searched Shen Que's name separately to see the keywords following it. Most of them were good, but there was one keyword "资源咖" at the bottom.
Xu Qingye frowned and clicked on it to take a look. This entry was quite popular, and several familiar marketing accounts had posted related content.
The Almighty Godfather: Are male actors’ rise to fame too quickly? Some of them start playing leading roles right after their debut, with almost no acting experience. I wonder whose capitalist’s child they are.
A passerby in the entertainment industry: From a supporting role to the leading actor, it took less than half a year, relying on a one-minute role. If anyone tells me that there is no capital operation involved, I will eat up the account!
······
Most of the entries contain similar content, which is nothing more than that Shen Que became famous too quickly and some people started to guard against him.
Xu Qingye clicked on the comments, expecting a barrage of criticism, but he was surprised to find the tone was so peaceful.
What's wrong with liking to watch TV: I believe that other people's dramas are just capitalists stuffing their children into the dramas, but I don't feel strange about anyone he uses in Lu's dramas. He just likes to use newcomers and will grab anyone to film as long as he thinks they are suitable, so I believe that Shen Que was able to play the male lead just because he was suitable.
Rouruo Jiang Jiang: Hahahaha, marketing accounts all know that he is good-looking, and others are ugly children of capitalists. Shen Quo, children of capitalists, hahaha, let me laugh for a while.
Koi King: I watched the behind-the-scenes footage, it was really great. Even if he is the child of a capitalist, I just want to say one thing, thank you for your hard work~~~
······
Xu Qingye was so engrossed in reading the comments that he didn't even notice someone coming over.
When Shen Que came back after finishing his work, he smiled unconsciously when he saw the light on in the room. He pushed open the door and saw Xu Qingye half lying on the sofa, holding his mobile phone and grinning foolishly. He didn't know what he was looking at, but he was so engrossed in it that he didn't even notice Shen Que walking up to him.
"What are you looking at? Why are you smiling so happily?"
Shen Que leaned over to see what Xu Qingye was looking at. Xu Qingye was startled by the sudden appearance of the person and subconsciously threw the phone away. Seeing this, Shen Que quickly reached out to help him catch the phone. The display was on. Shen Que glanced at the display with a subtle expression.
