Chapter 5 The Fifth Melon Can Be Sold But Not Negotiated
After looking at the house, the two of them hit it off on the idea of sharing the house. After completing the paperwork and it was time for dinner, Xu Qingye suggested having dinner together. Along the way, he couldn't help but secretly glance at Chen Que.
He now felt very magical, as if he had traveled through time and encountered the young form of a big boss. He was still thinking about meeting at the top, and this person was sitting opposite him.
Although Xu Qingye looked secretly, his eyes were very straightforward. Shen Que was not a dull person, nor did he like to hide things. He spoke directly as soon as he sat down.
"Is there something on my face? Why do you keep looking at me?"
"No, no, I just feel a little weird. I didn't expect to see you again so soon, and we're even going to share an apartment. Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask you, what are you doing in City C? Are you doing an internship as a senior?"
Xu Qingye waved his hand, quickly suppressed his obscene smile, pretended to be a serious adult, and showed concern for the child's study and life.
"I have nothing to do during the holidays. Last time, you said I'm suitable for being an actor, so I came to try being an extra. I've already got my actor's license."
Shen Que took out an actor's certificate from his pocket and showed it to Xu Qingye. Xu Qingye took it and took a look at it in a daze.
There was an ID photo attached to the actor's certificate, and the young man's rebellious temperament was already revealed. Xu Qingye looked at the photo and then looked up at the person in front of him, and the strange feeling in his heart became stronger.
"Because of what I said, you came here to be an extra?"
The book does not mention the opportunity for Shen Que to become an actor. It only describes the smooth progress of his acting career and his rich life without any obstacles. I just felt happy when reading the book, but there was always a lack of memorable points for the character of Shen Que.
But when this person sat in front of him and said that he had become interested in the entertainment industry, Xu Qingye suddenly felt that he had a connection with this world.
He seemed to move the story forward.
"Well, because I just didn't know what to do, someone showed me a way, so I wanted to give it a try."
Shen Que nodded, but fearing that Xu Qingye would feel burdened, he added another sentence.
"I'm just trying it out. If it doesn't work for me, I'll do something else."
"It's right, it's definitely right. Don't worry, since you trust me so much, I will definitely make you famous. Since we've met again, it must be fate. I'll help you arrange your work during this period."
Chen Que is the absolute male protagonist of this story. If he is not suitable, who else is suitable? Xu Qingye immediately started to think about it in his mind. Although the timeline is a little advanced, as long as it is Chen Que, no matter when it starts, it should be successful.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Shen Que poured Xu Qingye a drink and handed his future over to the other party in just a few words.
In the evening, they went back to the hotel to pack their luggage. Xu Qingye asked Chen Que to visit the crew together the next day and chat with him about future developments.
Chen Que came here with great enthusiasm. He had no plan at all, so he naturally listened to Xu Qingye.
After returning to the hotel, Xu Qingye had no desire to sleep, so he simply turned on his computer and started making a plan. When he typed the two words "Shenque" in the document, he became excited, as he had firmly grasped a bright future.
The crew's working hours depended entirely on the progress of filming. When Xu Qingye brought Shen Que to the scene, the atmosphere was a little tense. The director was not satisfied with any shot and was furious.
Mana met Xu Qingye and took him to a quiet place.
"This is Su Ziyu's agent, Mana."
Xu Qingye introduced Moon to Shen Que, emphasizing Su Ziyu's name. He saw Moon chatting happily in the group chat in the middle of the night yesterday, and he was quite calm when he arrived at the crew.
"Who is this?"
As soon as the two came in, Mana noticed Chen Que. Chen Que was tall, long-legged, and well-proportioned. Even with a mask on, he was very conspicuous in the crowd. Xu Qingye looked much more ordinary compared to him.
"A younger brother came here to play with me. He also wanted to experience filming and be an extra or something."
Xu Qingye made a casual introduction, and when Mana wanted to go deeper into the topic, he brought the conversation back to Su Ziyu, as if he didn't care much about Shen Que.
It was half an hour later when Su Ziyu came over after finishing the performance. He was still in costume. The thick ancient costume looked hot on him in the middle of summer. He almost took it off as he walked. When he sat down next to the three people, he was only left with the T-shirt and shorts underneath.
"Are you the paparazzi? The photos are nice, quite atmospheric."
Su Ziyu sat down, looked at Xu Qingye and praised him first, then received a big eye roll from Mana.
Xu Qingye smiled indifferently and continued to talk about his own ideas. Su Ziyu's current embarrassment is that he feels lacking in everything he does. It has been a while since he switched to acting, and he is neither here nor there and lacks an opportunity for a breakthrough.
"I understand what you're saying. But what about love? I don't really want to give up relationships just for my career."
Xu Qingye said a lot, but Su Ziyu didn't seem to care that much. He cared more about his relationship with Jiang Boqi. If Xu Qingye could take pictures, someone else would be able to take pictures in the future. The time they spent meeting was originally squeezed out, and it was unlikely that they would not meet outside at all.
Su Ziyu had some worries, which he didn't have before Xu Qingye sent the photos, so he needed to find Xu Qingye to solve them.
"Originally, it's not a big deal for actors to date, but you're an idol, and most of your fans were accumulated during your idol days. Not to mention Jiang Boqi is an active idol, so he can't date either. But it's not unsolvable."
Xu Qingye tapped his fingers lightly on the table. He paused to keep the conversation in suspense, and only continued when he saw Su Ziyu looking at him expectantly.
"Idols can't have sisters-in-law, but they can have male sisters-in-law. However, these male sisters-in-law can't be real sisters-in-law. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I don't understand. It's so complicated."
Su Ziyu shook his head. What Xu Qingye said sounded like a spell and was really hard to understand.
"Let me put it this way. What I mean is that you can be in a relationship under the name of "Mai Fan" as long as you absolutely refuse to admit it. It's already weird enough that you two have a bunch of CP fans even though you two don't communicate at all. The weirdest thing is that you're actually dating. Find an opportunity to work together and say it's just brotherhood. As long as they don't get photographed kissing or having sex, there won't be any problems at all. If anyone asks you, you're just doing business and taking advantage of the CP benefits. At most, you'll be accused of hype."
As Xu Qingye spoke, he briefly introduced the various situations of hyping up CPs and establishing character settings. Su Ziyu was amazed after hearing this. He had never thought of such a method.
Because of the relationship, he only thought about avoiding suspicion with Jiang Boqi and pretending that they didn't know each other. He never thought about making their relationship public or showing off his affection to fans.
"The more you try to hide it, the more suspicious it becomes. If you're open and honest, no one will think you're really dating. Jiang Boqi is having a concert soon, you could try being a surprise guest."
Xu Qingye continued to make suggestions, and Su Ziyu nodded repeatedly, wishing he could take a notebook to write down all his words, as they were all valuable advice.
After chatting for a long time, Xu Qingye talked about cooperation again. In order to express his sincerity, he offered to try it for a quarter first, and there would be a big discount on the fee, only 100,000 yuan per month.
For Su Ziyu's current status, 100,000 yuan is not a lot, but the additional expenses will be a bit painful. The income of a star is enough to support an entire team, especially since Su Ziyu is now in an awkward period of transformation and funds will be a little tight.
"Sure, but can you offer a better deal? One of my young artists recently had some problems, and I'd like Teacher Xu to help fix it. Can you think of it as a small gift?"
Mana accepted Xu Qingye's offer with a smile, but added a small condition.
"Of course that's no problem. Please also help promote it for me and Jiang Boqi. I'm quite free lately and can create a few more accounts."
Xu Qingye did not refuse. After reaching a friendly cooperation, Xu Qingye took Shen Que around. There were many crews filming around, and Xu Qingye was ready to learn about the latest dramas.
Shen Que followed Xu Qingye and listened to the whole thing. He was surprised by Xu Qingye's various strange ideas, and at the same time became more curious about this circle.
There are three film crews filming here recently. The scenery here is full of ancient buildings, so they are all costume dramas, including the political drama "The Emperor's League", the ancient idol drama "The Princess from Modern Times", and the palace drama "The Great Wu Dynasty" that Su Ziyu is currently filming.
These crews are not open to the public, but Xu Qingye carried a work ID card on his chest when he was working on "The Great Wu Dynasty". It was common for crews to visit each other, so no one stopped them.
Xu Qingye walked behind Shen Que. He took out his mobile phone and took a photo of his work ID. The name of the crew was written on the work ID, which could prove a lot of things. After taking the photo, Xu Qingye immediately sent a private message to MOON.
Cute Meat Bun: [Picture] Sisters, I came to visit the set and got to see my brother up close. So happy!!! [Spinning circles. Jpg]
Xu Qingye sent the message and immediately stared at Chen Que. There was nothing unusual on Chen Que's end, and his phone was silent.
“Are there two cell phones?”
Xu Qingye muttered something in a low voice and waited for a while. Moon on the opposite side did not send a message. He was about to put away his phone when a message popped up. Chen Que in front of him walked forward with his hands in his pockets from beginning to end.
Moon: You sisters are so talented! It's a shame we couldn't go together. I'll definitely go with you sometime. [Envy. JPG]
Xu Qingye subconsciously stopped and looked at the messages still popping up on his phone, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
Moon isn't Shen Que? Then who is she?
"What's wrong?"
Shen Que took a few steps and found that Xu Qingye did not keep up. He walked back a few steps and stood in front of Xu Qingye.
"Nothing, I just suddenly realized that I seemed to have made a mistake. It's not important, not important."
Xu Qingye waved his hand and put the problem behind him for the time being.
He planned to find a role for Shen Que. Apart from "The Princess from Modern Times", the other two crews were pretty good. Shen Que couldn't just play a small role casually. He had to play a memorable small role. As for the protagonist, he had to have his own aura.
In comparison, Xu Qingye was more optimistic about the production of "Emperor's League" because it looked more sophisticated. He planned to stay in the crew with Shen Que for the next few days to look for suitable opportunities and roles.
