Chapter 71: Seventy-first Melon Online Dating
Compared with Sun Yao's contract, the contracts of other artists suddenly seemed ridiculous. Fans jokingly said that their own artists had signed slave contracts, being sucked dry and eaten flesh to support top artists like Sun Yao.
Not long after this statement was put forward, someone revealed that Sun Yao was actually the boss's nephew. This completely infuriated the fans. It turned out to be the blood-sucking behavior of the capitalists!
Xu Qingye saw the news online only after he got out of the car. He was a little surprised. He couldn't get Sun Yao's contract, so it was obvious that someone else had been involved.
The person who was able to get Sun Yao's contract must have some skills, but this is normal. It is inevitable that there will be a few enemies when you are in trouble.
Xu Qingye doesn't plan to continue for the time being, and will wait and see how things develop.
"Please keep an eye on the situation online." Xu Qingye forwarded several popular Weibo posts to Cao Muan, as well as some forum posts, and asked her to keep an eye on the follow-up.
Cao Muan responded and continued to play with her phone. Xu Qingye glanced at her. Cao Muan had a smile on her face and stared at
The phone was almost squinted into a line, and her state was a bit strange.
It was Cao Muan's private matter, so Xu Qingye didn't say anything. After arranging the accommodation, Xu Qingye contacted Su Ziyu.
Su Ziyu doesn't have many roles, and most of the time he just watches and learns from other people's performances on the crew. The director is very good at teaching actors, and Su Ziyu's acting skills have improved a lot since he came. The most important thing is that the atmosphere on the crew is very good, and no one looks down on him just because he is an idol.
Xu Qingye wanted to visit the set, and Su Ziyu immediately asked his assistant to pick him up. When he arrived at the scene, Xu Qingye saw a familiar face in the crowd.
Jiang Boqi.
"Why do you still bring your boyfriend to work?"
Xu Qingye muttered softly. Although the two of them were good friends on the surface, there were so many people on the crew and it was inevitable that they would show some intimacy when they were together.
"You brought me here early this morning. I happened to have nothing to do, so I'll stay for a day and leave tomorrow."
Su Ziyu explained and took Xu Qingye to sit next to Jiang Boqi. Xu Qingye and Jiang Boqi greeted each other.
"You've been watching here all day. Are you interested in acting?"
Xu Qingye casually asked Jiang Boqi that it is difficult to remain popular in the domestic entertainment industry without acting. A person's personality is fixed, but the character's personality is ever-changing. The role will give the actor new charm, and every drama will attract a group of new fans.
The only ways for singers to attract fans are new songs and concerts, but the record market in the domestic entertainment industry is already quite bad, and there are not many stages available for singers. It's ridiculous to say it, but the stages in the domestic entertainment industry are all in variety shows.
“I never thought about it. I just like making music.”
Jiang Boqi shook his head. It was hard for him to imagine the feeling of playing another person. An actor needs to understand the character's inner thoughts, judge his behavior, cooperate with the opponent actor, and pay attention to lighting, positioning, camera direction, etc. It's all too complicated.
Music is much simpler. Sometimes all he needs is a guitar. He prefers these simple and pure things.
"What if it's not popular anymore? Will it not change even if it's not popular anymore?"
Xu Qingye asked again, the saying of evergreen in the music industry was a long time ago, now they are all short-lived, and there is a lack of successors.
"If I'm no longer famous, I'll just sing for myself and the people around me. Anyway, the money is enough for me to live on." Jiang Boqi is very calm. He has been holding concerts one after another in these years just to save enough money. If he suddenly becomes unpopular in the future, he can also accept this gap calmly.
"You have a good attitude."
Xu Qingye looked at Jiang Boqi with some admiration in his eyes. Many people will feel a huge gap in their hearts after the traffic subsides. They are unable to accept the past of their own era, which leads to psychological distortion. Some even embark on the path of breaking the law and committing crimes.
"Well, I basically got everything I wanted, so there's nothing I'm particularly obsessed with."
Jiang Boqi looked at Su Ziyu who was listening to the director's instructions, and his whole demeanor softened. His originally sharp eyes were now filled with tenderness.
Xu Qingye looked at him, then at Su Ziyu, and suddenly felt depressed.
The first time I met Shen Que was when I went to take a photo with Jiang Boqi. Jiang Boqi seemed to have become their matchmaker.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingye couldn't help but laugh.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered the first time I went to the airport to take pictures of you. I met a very important person that day."
"Congratulations then."
Jiang Boqi also smiled, and the two looked at each other knowingly.
The crew had strict confidentiality and did not allow taking photos. Xu Qingye naturally could not break the rules, so after Su Ziyu finished filming, they found a restaurant to eat together.
As soon as he sat down, Su Ziyu held his chin and looked at Xu Qingye.
"We've all been discussing Chen Qing recently. She's incredibly popular now, landing tons of commercials just for appearing on a variety show. A lot of people are envious of her, wondering if she received any guidance from a master. Otherwise, how could she suddenly end up on such an obscure reality show and become such a huge star?
"Endorsement, has anyone asked her to endorse pig feed?"
Xu Qingye hasn't deliberately searched for news about Chen Qing recently, but he can see Chen Qing's pig-catching emoticons from time to time.
"I don't know if they have any pig feed. But I do have a lot of ham, pork jerky, and other things. I also have all sorts of small appliances. Also, there are several variety shows that want to invite her to participate. How did you realize she was suitable for this type of variety show?"
Su Ziyu was a little curious. He and Shen Qing were not actually very familiar with each other, but he was definitely even less familiar with Xu Qingye. However, he made such a judgment after a brief contact.
"I'm not sure if she's right for this show. I just think she's interesting and wanted her to give it a try. I'm not charging her any money, and if it fails, she'll have earned her appearance fee, so she can't possibly come after me. If it succeeds, she'll be embarrassed to not give me the agreed compensation. I just asked for it and took a gamble."
Xu Qingye spread his hands. He only knew the general idea of the plot. Supporting characters like Chen Qing didn't even have a name in the original novel. He could only contribute to the development of the plot within a reasonable range.
"Ah, I thought you didn't want to charge money because you were very confident that you would succeed." Cao Mu'an was eating with his head down, but he raised his head in surprise when he heard Xu Qingye's words.
"I'm not a god."
Xu Qingye curled his lips, and Cao Muan was a little disappointed. He really couldn't bear to hear the truth. After hearing it, the halo around Xu Qingye disappeared.
"If someone wants to consult you, can I introduce them to you?"
Su Ziyu was also stunned for a moment. Xu Qingye had handled the few issues he had resolved with remarkable skill, but it turned out he was just a man of great skill and courage.
"Of course you can introduce me. I'd welcome a chat or something."
Xu Qingye nodded. Artist career planning is his side job. His homepage is still used to manage his marketing account, and he continues to float in the waves of the entertainment industry.
"There's going to be a talent show soon. Do you want to join me? It's very profitable. I can open a few fan clubs, raise funds for support, and get a sea view apartment in no time."
Xu Qingye had just finished reviewing the various major events in the original work. Talent shows are currently the most profitable projects. Fans are rich and generous, and there are many of them. It is enough to make a little money from each of them.
Moreover, Xu Qingye actually doesn't need to make money from fans. The marketing fees paid by major companies to the players are enough for him to make a lot of money. Making money from fans requires a low sense of morality, but he can still sell peripheral products to fans.
"Forget it, I still have to film. The director introduced me to several crews. I will go for auditions after the filming is finished." Su Ziyu shook his head. Xu Qingye's words were too complicated for him to understand.
"I'm going to be a mentor and have already earned the announcement fee. But the audition hasn't been officially announced yet, how did you know about it?" Jiang Boqi glanced sideways at Xu Qingye. He didn't look as simple as he said.
"Of course I have some connections." Xu Qingye felt a little guilty. He spoke too quickly and completely forgot whether the news had been announced. Besides, the original author was his biggest connection, so he was not lying.
After dinner, Jiang Boqi had to go back to City A. Xu Qingye and the other two didn’t want to disturb the young couple, so they said hello and left.
"How many days will we stay here?"
Cao Muan put his phone in his pocket and asked Xu Qingye.
"Why, are you okay?"
Xu Qingye didn't answer, but asked her a question instead.
"Yeah, I want to go out and play with my friends. Can I take a day off tomorrow?" Cao Muan nodded and looked at Xu Qingye expectantly.
In principle, their work is very free, but this time it is a collective action, so if she wants to leave the team, she naturally has to ask.
"Sure, just be careful."
Xu Qingye nodded in agreement, and Cao Muan immediately smiled happily.
"Thank you, boss. I'm going to bed now."
Cao Muan ran happily towards the room. Xu Qingye glanced at his back and grabbed Yi He who was also about to return to the room.
"what?"
Yi He looked at Xu Qingye in confusion. He just stood there silently today and didn't say anything sarcastic.
"I think there's something wrong with Cao Muan. You should follow her tomorrow."
"You're in love, and you're smiling like a crazy fan as if no one can understand." Yi He put his hands in his pockets and didn't take it seriously.
"She's at work every day, and she's always on her phone. I think it's probably an online romance. What if she meets a bad person? Go and see. If they're really friends, come back."
"Then why am I the one going and not you?"
Yi He didn't understand. If he wanted to care about his colleague, he could just go there himself. Why was he being ordered around?
"Because I'm also busy with online dating. I probably won't be able to wake up during the day."
"Okay, okay, you all better be careful. I'll poison the water for you sooner or later."
Yi He was a little annoyed. He would go home for a blind date in a few days. Anyone who didn't have a partner would take advantage of him.
"I'm giving you a bonus. Even though you don't need the money, I still want to show you my sincerity."
"How much?" Yi He asked.
"Five hundred, I'd be reluctant to spend more. I won't reimburse you for the taxi fare."
"I'll just detain you."
Yi He shook his head, turned back to his room and slammed the door shut. After coming to this company, his temper has become worse and worse.
