Chapter 6 The Sixth Acquaintance
The extras in the film and television city are all led by a group leader. Those who do well can shoot close-ups and special roles. Xu Qingye's goal is to get a special role for Shen Que, and it would be even better if he can have one or two lines.
"Go sign up with the group leader first, and start working at the Tianzi League tomorrow."
Xu Qingye probably had an idea and looked up at Chen Que. Chen Que nodded without refuting and looked like a well-behaved big boy. Xu Qingye looked at him and almost couldn't help but reach out to rub his head. The big boss was really cute and well-behaved when he was a cub.
"Didn't you want to introduce me to that agent just now? Why didn't you mention it later?"
Shen Que bought a bottle of water for Xu Qingye and asked curiously.
"Their company's style isn't suitable for you, but it's worth getting to know them just in case. I just told her that you're the only person there, and you don't need to worry about it. Let's go the route of talent. Their company is better at cultivating idols. It's actually quite difficult to become famous first and then transition. We should not take such a roundabout way."
Each company has different strengths. Some newcomers enter the circle without knowing themselves and sign contracts with companies in a daze. In the end, they fail to make use of their strengths and their careers are wasted. Some lucky ones may make a comeback after experiencing some things and be praised as late bloomers, but in fact, many people are just pearls in the dust.
When chatting with Shen Que, most of the time it was Xu Qingye who talked, and Shen Que listened quietly, and only asked a question when he didn't understand something, just like a good student who listened attentively.
"Ono?"
The two were sitting on the side when suddenly someone shouted, followed by the sound of approaching footsteps. A woman in a professional suit stood in front of them.
"It's really you, Ono, why are you here?"
The woman stared at Xu Qingye with a complicated expression, as if she wanted to say something but held it back.
Xu Qingye was suddenly called by someone. He looked up at the woman who appeared. The woman was in her forties, well-maintained, with a shrewd look in her eyes.
There was no such person in Xu Qingye's memory. The original owner's memory was messy and there was no useful information, but he was sure that this must be someone the original owner knew. Judging from her behavior, the two of them should just be acquaintances and not have a very close relationship.
"My friend wanted to be an extra, so I came with him."
Xu Qingye used Shen Que as a shield, thinking about how to get some useful information from the woman in front of him.
The woman followed up the conversation and looked at Chen Que again. Chen Que's appearance was indeed outstanding, so it was understandable that he wanted to make a living from this job.
The woman smiled at Shen Que, took out a business card from her pocket and handed it to him.
"If you really want to get into this industry, you can contact me. I can provide you with the best conditions and resources."
Shen Que took the business card and didn't say anything. He could see that the atmosphere between this woman and Xu Qingye was a little subtle.
"Xiao Ye, it's fine if you come here to play with your friends, but don't get involved yourself. Don't forget what you promised your mother. If you don't have enough money, just ask me for it. You guys go have fun, I'm going to be busy now."
After the woman finished speaking, she showed a decent smile, patted Xu Qingye's shoulder lightly and turned to leave. Xu Qingye's face became uglier little by little. When the woman patted him just now, she secretly used a little force as a warning.
Xu Qingye had no idea about his own life experience, and now it seemed that he still had some secrets. He reached out and took the business card from Shen Que.
Xiao Yang, agent of Huihuang Film and Television.
Xu Qingye looked at the name, took out his phone and searched the address book, and actually found such a person, but unfortunately the chat history was blank.
"Are you okay?"
Shen Que was paying attention to Xu Qingye's every move. Ever since that woman appeared, Xu Qingye's demeanor had been a little strange, and now his expression was even uglier.
"It's okay. I fell on my head and couldn't remember some things clearly. Suddenly, an acquaintance appeared, so I tried hard to recall. Unfortunately, I failed. But it doesn't matter."
Xu Qingye returned the business card to Shen Que. In the original book, the last company Shen Que signed with was Huihuang Film and Television, and they would definitely meet again in the future.
Chen Que was not a person who liked to ask questions. Since Xu Qingye didn't say anything, he didn't ask again. He put the business card in his bag and the two of them began to discuss how to be an extra in "The Emperor's Alliance".
After contacting the group leader, Shen Que officially joined the group performance of "The Emperor's League". "The Emperor's League" is a fictional story, born out of the story framework of heroes fighting for power in troubled times, telling the story of the chaos and disputes in troubled times, and the story of princes from all over the country becoming kings.
The story mainly revolves around the three kingdoms of Wu, Chu and Wei. It is this year's S+ project, with a large number of veteran actors joining in. The starring role is the film emperor Sun Yao. From all aspects, it will be a hit drama. Being able to show up in such a drama and make your presence felt is enough to be written into your resume.
The work of extras is very hard. They basically have to get up in the early morning and be brought to the crew in large groups. After a simple breakfast, they get their clothes and makeup and wait for the filming.
Xu Qingye originally wanted to go with Shen Que, but he stayed up late to make a plan and couldn't get up.
Xiao Cheng, a new artist under Mana, has had some minor problems recently. Although Xiao Cheng is a newcomer, he has made quite a splash since his debut because of his outstanding appearance and strong ability.
As soon as his new album was released, all kinds of negative information about Xiao Cheng appeared on the Internet. They were all exposed by his so-called classmates. The content included but was not limited to Xiao Cheng's promiscuity when he was in school, Ba Ling classmate, etc. Xiao Cheng himself naturally denied all of this.
There is no particularly solid evidence in the negative information online. It is all ambiguous statements from so-called classmates. At most, they showed their student ID to prove that they and Xiao Cheng were really from the same school.
Xu Qingye spent an entire night sorting out the news. It was obvious that these were press releases deliberately purchased by the opponents, and many of the accounts looked very familiar to him.
Xu Qingye called Xiao Cheng and learned about his student life. What Xiao Cheng said about his student life was completely different from what was reported on the Internet.
Because he studied music, he often had to go out for competitions and training, so Xiao Cheng always took leave and had a very average relationship with his classmates. His grades even dropped because of the constant leave, and he was always laughed at by his classmates. At that time, wanting to be a star was a very ridiculous thing for students. Most people's dream was to get into a good university and find a good job, so Xiao Cheng was like an outlier to them.
In Xiao Cheng's words, in his campus life, he was more like the one being bullied, but it was all verbal and there was no actual evidence.
As for promiscuity, Xiao Cheng felt even more aggrieved.
"Brother, my goal since I was fourteen has been to become an idol. I've been working hard towards this goal. How could I possibly create a black history for myself? I'm so busy training every day, how could I have time for a relationship?"
Xiao Cheng felt extremely aggrieved on the phone. He had a clear plan for his life, but all these false accusations were pinned on him. He felt like he had no way to defend himself. He said that he was not in a relationship and did not bully others, but these words were too dry and sounded like excuses.
Xu Qingye comforted him with a few words and started to make a plan. This kind of empty talk is the most difficult to deal with, but whoever makes the claim should provide evidence, and there is no need to fall into the trap of self-proof.
Xu Qingye bought a large number of influential pornographic V accounts and formed a Xiao Cheng Victims Alliance. He directly @ed those who had spread rumors before, offering to help them defend their rights for free and asking them to boldly release evidence.
Xu Qingye looked for various lawyer accounts, legal aid accounts, etc., which was very loud. He also bought a lot of entertainment accounts to make the matter bigger.
Mana frowned as she watched the online public opinion fermenting more seriously, and couldn't help but call Xu Qingye.
"Don't be impatient, let the bullets fly for a while."
Xu Qingye was extremely calm. As long as Xiao Cheng didn't lie to him, this matter would soon have a result.
The internet was abuzz with activity and naturally many people were watching. Xiao Cheng's fans did not dare to speak out as they were afraid that their remarks would have a negative impact on Xiao Cheng, but in their hearts they firmly believed in Xiao Cheng.
Xiao Cheng has a bit of a middle school syndrome and is an idealist who rushes recklessly for his dream. His biggest scandal is probably the fact that he only got 30 points on the math test. They don't believe anything else.
Xiao Cheng has been a trainee for a long time. He almost grew up under the eyes of his fans. If everything on the Internet is true, then Xiao Cheng is too terrible. They don't believe that a born bad guy can play the role of an ambitious and dreamy person under the eyes of his fans for years.
If that's the case, we can only say that his acting skills are truly superb.
Those lawyer big Vs not only publicly @ed the accounts that broke the news, but also sent them private messages offering free legal aid, hoping that they could provide relevant evidence. However, they were paid to deliberately discredit Xiao Cheng, so how could they have any evidence?
The internet was bustling with activity. Xu Qingye finally finished washing up and went out leisurely. The apartment they rented was very close to the film and television city. Xu Qingye took a taxi there. As soon as he arrived at the crew of "The Emperor's Alliance", he heard people talking.
"Did you see that new extra? He's super handsome. He even overshadowed the lead actor standing behind him. They said he won't be allowed to stand in the front this afternoon."
"Yeah, I just went to see it. He's really handsome. It's a pity that he has no background and is destined to be bullied."
······
Xu Qingye frowned as he listened to the discussions around him. He asked where the extras were resting and quickly ran over.
They had just finished lunch and the afternoon scenes were still a while away. The extras gathered in groups of three or four to chat and pass the time. Shen Que didn't know anyone well and sat alone on the side in a daze. He looked up at the sky, seeming a little confused.
Shen Que was still wearing makeup, and although he was wearing ordinary soldier armor, because he was so handsome, the way he frowned and looked up at the sky looked like a young general who was a little confused after experiencing life and death on the battlefield for the first time.
Xu Qingye stood there, took out his camera and quickly pressed the shutter. Shen Que really had the aura of a male protagonist. He didn't need to pose deliberately. Just sitting there casually would make him look like a pictorial.
The shutter sound seemed to disturb Shen Que's thoughts. He turned his head to look in the direction of Xu Qingye. When he saw who it was, he raised his brows and smiled. The gloom just now disappeared, as if it was just Xu Qingye's illusion.
