Chapter 77 Seventy-seven Melon Progress Bar
Chen Que's hand pinched Xu Qingye's waist, rubbing it restlessly. As expected, the man went to the hotel with only one purpose. Xu Qingye glared at Chen Que. He was completely a hooligan from the beginning.
The kneeling posture allowed Xu Qingye to look down at Shen Que. Although his face was really good-looking, he still looked like he deserved a beating.
"Damn it, that's too much." Xu Qingye stretched out his hand and hit Chen Que. Chen Que gasped and seemed to be in pain. Xu Qingye suddenly became a little nervous.
"What's wrong? I didn't use enough force."
Xu Qingye reached out to pull Chen Que's clothes, and as soon as he pulled them open, he saw a bruise on his shoulder.
"How did you get hurt? Did you apply medicine?"
Xu Qingye felt a little soft-hearted when he saw the injuries on Chen Que's body. He must have suffered a lot during the special training recently, but he hadn't mentioned a word during this period.
"It's okay. I accidentally got hit by a stick during training last time. This movie has a lot of fighting scenes, so it's inevitable that there will be some bumps and bruises."
Shen Que grabbed Xu Qingye's hand and stopped him from looking any further. He had many injuries of varying sizes on his body, all accumulated during this period of time.
"Take off your clothes and let me see them."
Xu Qingye pushed Chen Que away and stood up, reaching out to pull his clothes. Chen Que had no choice but to take off all his clothes. It looked fine from the front, but his back was covered with bruises and scratches. Xu Qingye reached out and touched it, and Shen Que subconsciously shrank back, and it looked like he was still in pain.
"You're injured like this, yet you still want to act like a hooligan? Where's the medicine? I'll apply it on you."
Xu Qingye wanted to punch him.
"I promised you that I won't go back on my word. I just want to hug you. The progress of our relationship is always in your hands."
"Bullshit, you're the one who forced the game to activate. Stop talking nonsense and bring the medicine over."
Xu Qingye rolled his eyes and urged Shen Que to get the medicine.
Director Xin Yan has always been very strict and requires the actors to do all the fighting scenes themselves. Shen Que had no experience in this area before, so I can't imagine how hard it was for him during this period.
"Still watching a movie?"
Shen Que sat obediently and let Xu Qingye apply medicine to him, and asked cautiously.
"Look, after you read this, write me a 3,000-word analysis. I'll use it to update my account tomorrow."
Xu Qingye nodded, and Shen Que suddenly felt that he had talked too much.
Xu Qingye's hands were gently rubbing Shen Que's back. His palms were warm, but the bracelet on his hand was very cold, and it felt a little strange when it occasionally touched his skin.
Chen Que had no idea what story the movie was telling. Xu Qingye applied medicine on some scratches and bloodstains and even blew on them, which made Chen Que feel itchy.
"Okay, are there any injuries on the front?"
Xu Qingye sat down opposite Chen Que with a medicine box. Chen Que raised his left hand. There was also a little scratch on his left arm. Xu Qingye simply helped him deal with it. Since they were all old injuries, he only needed to apply some medicine.
"Next time you get hurt, tell me earlier. If I hadn't noticed, would you not have told me?"
"They are just minor injuries. They will be healed in a few days."
The special training was completely closed, so even if Xu Qingye told someone, he could only worry. Besides, he was not the only one injured, everyone's situation was similar, so Shen Que naturally didn't take it seriously.
"Can you stay with me today? Just lie down like before, and I promise I won't cross the line."
"That's what all scumbags say. I can't get in, and I haven't even taken my equipment yet. I still have to shoot tomorrow."
"The opening ceremony doesn't start until noon. I'll take you back tomorrow morning." Shen Que looked at Xu Qingye pitifully, like a big dog. Looking at his expression, Xu Qingye swallowed his words of refusal.
"Okay, stop playing tricks."
Xu Qingye packed up his things and sat down with Shen Que to continue watching the movie. The two chose an art film that had just been released. It had many showy long shots and beautiful pictures, but the story was a bit fragmented and a bit boring to watch until the end.
Xu Qingye didn't bring any clothes with him, so he took a set from Chen Que's suitcase. He went into the bathroom to wash up, while Chen Que sat at the table and actually took out his computer to write a film review.
When Xu Qingye came out, Shen Que had already written a long page.
"Fuck, you really wrote it."
Xu Qingye leaned over to take a look. Shen Que's film review was very sharp, the kind that would provoke a fight as soon as it was posted.
"Excessive long takes are unnecessary, except for showmanship and the director's personal preference. Instead, they restrict the story's development and violate its logic."
"The dialogue is deliberately mystifying, trying to create an artistic atmosphere, but the effect is very poor. It can't achieve either complete lyricism or complete everydayness. It feels very suspended."
······
Xu Qingye looked at Shen Que's text. He felt that Shen Que had a talent for marketing. Every word he said hit the nail on the head. After reading his analysis, the director might even write a short essay overnight.
"Very good, very good. Send it to me later."
Xu Qingye quickly finished browsing, turned his head and kissed Shen Que on the face. The top student from University A is really something.
Shen Que responded and continued to finish. After finishing, he sent the document to Xu Qingye.
Xu Qingye himself made some minor revisions and polished the film. His original style was relatively gentle. Although the film is really average, Shen Que's straightforwardness is likely to offend people, so he needs to be more tactful.
After finishing all the changes, Xu Qingye took some screenshots and edited them on his heavy computer. After saving the draft, he forwarded it to Yi He.
Xu Qingye: @Yihe, take a look, I asked Chen Que to write this for me.
Yi He probably didn't expect that Xu Qingye would still have time to contact him today. Looking at the content he sent, Yi He didn't even click on it.
Yi He: Bro, you two are writing a movie review at this hour, are you kidding me?!
Cao Muan also showed up in the group, and there seemed to be something going on late at night.
Xu Qingye: @Yihe young people are not proactive and motivated at all, and will be eliminated by society sooner or later!
Yi He: I’m sorry, my family’s wealth is enough for me to lie down for hundreds of years. I don’t need to work so hard. I advise you not to work so hard either. Do something that young people should do. Working at 11pm will affect the country’s fertility rate.
Xu Qingye: Sorry, I can’t have any children!!!
Xu Qingye turned off the computer and snuggled comfortably into the quilt. He felt sleepy as soon as he lay down.
When Chen Que came out, he saw Xu Qingye curled up in the quilt and asleep. Chen Que lay down beside him, leaned over and kissed him on the forehead.
"good evening."
Chen Que turned off the lights, reached out and pulled Xu Qingye into his arms. Xu Qingye was sleeping soundly and did not struggle at all. Instead, he hugged Chen Que and buried his head in his chest.
After a sound night's sleep, Xu Qingye stretched comfortably. Shen Que had already woken up. He heard the noise and came in to call Xu Qingye for breakfast.
"Why are you up so early? Aren't you sleepy?"
"It's okay. I've gotten used to waking up early lately, so I wake up on time."
The closed training of "Dawn" is completely military training. He has to get up early every morning to do exercises, and then learn various fighting and firearms knowledge, etc. In short, his biological clock is adjusted very accurately.
"Do you have any plans for the New Year?"
"Why? You don't want me to go home with you, do you? I won't go. And don't tell your sister about our relationship yet."
Xu Qingye was a little wary. The Chinese New Year was a very critical time node. Shen Que wouldn't want to take him to meet his parents or something like that.
"No, I was afraid you'd be bored, so I stayed with you. If you have any plans, you can tell me."
Although Xu Qingye is not an orphan, his situation is not much better. Shen Que is afraid that he will feel sad when he is alone during the New Year.
"We should go to my godfather's place. If you want to accompany me, you can go too. They won't say anything."
Xu Qingye thought about it and realized that he originally had no plans, but since he recognized Brother Huang as his godfather, he should go to pay New Year's greetings. He had no plans for the rest of the time.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Shen Que nodded. He had seen the note left by Brother Huang at home. It could be seen that Brother Huang was really good to Xu Qingye. Such an elder should be respected.
"Don't mention our relationship when you go to my godfather's place. I will tell them myself later."
Xu Qingye gave another instruction, and Shen Que's eyes dimmed slightly, but he still nodded.
The crew's opening ceremony is very particular. They will hire someone to calculate the time and place the offerings, and cover the camera with red cloth. After the main creators burn incense one by one, they will lift the red cloth and announce the official start of filming.
The crew would give everyone a red envelope to celebrate the start of filming. For a while, it was also popular to put lottery tickets in the red envelopes to give everyone a chance to get rich.
The character played by Shen Que in the play eventually died, so there was an extra red envelope for suppressing evil.
In addition to the sacrificial needs, the opening ceremony mainly requires the leading actors to make a formal appearance in front of the media.
Xu Qingye was holding up a photo and taking pictures in the crowd. There were quite a few media here today, and the crew gave out red envelopes to the media, which meant that they wanted the media present to say a few good words about them.
After receiving the red envelopes, the media naturally felt embarrassed to say bad things about the crew, so they basically said some auspicious words and wished the movie a big hit.
The opening ceremony was quick, only about twenty minutes. After Xu Qingye finished filming, he started packing up. Just as he was about to leave, someone patted him on the shoulder.
"Dude, which company are you from? I see your equipment is awesome. Do you own it or did the company provide it?"
"All the equipment was bought by me last year. I liked it at the time, but it hurt a lot after I bought it."
Xu Qingye was wearing a hat and a mask, revealing only his eyes. When the other party started chatting with him, he responded in a friendly manner.
"Zhen Hao, do you have any plans for the afternoon? A few of us who are familiar with each other are planning to get together. We are all in the same industry. Do you want to join us?"
The man pointed at a few people behind him, all of whom were reporters from various entertainment magazines.
"No, I have something to do this afternoon. We'll get together again next time we have a chance."
Xu Qingye waved his hand, and the Chinese man's next meeting was equivalent to not meeting him. The other party naturally understood that he was originally attracted by Xu Qingye's equipment and wanted to chat with him. Since Xu Qingye was not interested, they naturally did not force him.
"Most likely someone's young master is out to experience life. That equipment costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. It will take years of work to make a profit."
Someone muttered, and others echoed him. They didn't expect that being an entertainment reporter would be so difficult these days.
Xu Qingye walked around and secretly returned to the scene. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he quickly rushed into Chen Que's nanny car. This time, in addition to Chen Que, there was also Zhao Wen in the car. Zhao Wen smiled particularly brightly when she saw Xu Qingye, and pulled him to chat about gossip again. Chen Que was left out.
