Chapter 86: Eighty-six melons become paparazzi again
After squatting for a while and seeing that no one came in, the two of them packed up their things and left.
After returning to his residence, Xu Qingye sent all the photos to Cao Mu'an. Cao Mu'an quickly flipped through them and preliminarily selected some photos. Sometimes he had to sigh that appearance and temperament are also a kind of talent, at least people are attracted at first sight.
Cao Muan was sorting the photos and was about to ask Xu Qingye how to arrange the publicity when he turned around and saw him holding his cell phone with a charming smile on his face.
Cao Muan took a look and quickly turned his head back, pretending not to see it.
As soon as Xu Qingye scrolled through his Moments, he saw a selfie that Shen Que had just updated, with the caption "Thinking of you."
Xu Qingye was immediately hooked to catch a black carp. Chen Que had told him before that he could post on WeChat Moments whenever he missed him, so he did the same now. He had figured out the "visible only to you" rule on WeChat Moments.
Xu Qingye also took a selfie and updated his Moments. Just as he finished posting, Shen Que's video came in.
Xu Qingye answered the call only after returning to the room. Shen Que on the other end was sitting in the nanny car with some food beside him. He looked like he was taking a rest.
"Why are you in my room again?"
Although the room was in a mess, the overall layout could still be discerned.
"What do you mean by 'again'? There's no distinction between you and me between us."
Xu Qingye curled his lips, took a pillow and put it behind him and changed into a comfortable position.
"Is there a show tonight? You haven't even taken off your makeup yet."
Shen Que's character is both good and evil, and his eyebrows and eyes are made sharper with makeup, which makes him look more gloomy. If he holds a cigarette between his slender fingertips at this time, he will look like a gangster.
"Well, there's one more show, and it'll end around ten o'clock. I won't have any scenes for the next few days."
Shen Que looked at the notice sheet. His role was arranged in a rather fragmented manner. Basically, he would shoot a few scenes and then take a break.
"Is that so? Then I'll come visit the set in a few days. I think your crew can visit the set."
Xu Qingye flipped through his diary. He didn't have any plans recently. He just didn't know if he could visit the crew. Some crews kept confidentiality very strict and did not allow outsiders to enter during filming.
"I have a trip in City C in a couple of days. I came to see you, but unfortunately I can't stay long."
"Okay, I'll stay here for a few more days."
Xu Qingye nodded. Since Chen Que still had to film, the two of them didn't say much. After the video call, Xu Qingye returned to the living room and saw that Cao Muan was still busy, so he handed her a drink.
"Aoli is having a business dinner in a few days and has invited many celebrities and VIPs. I've asked Yi He, and he can get the invitations. You can go with him. You can check out the list of invited celebrities. I heard that the spokesperson who hasn't been officially announced will also be attending. You can go and see who it will be."
"These kinds of business parties are all about sales, right? I could pretend to be rich and sneak in, but I can't afford it. What if I get so carried away by lust that I want everything? Does our company reimburse me for that?"
Cao Muan got excited. Oli is a high-end luxury brand. Any piece of clothing costs hundreds of thousands of yuan, and the prices of various heavy-duty dresses are even more unlimited. Cao Muan thinks that she is not a very strong-willed person. If some popular young actor sits next to her, he will definitely be fascinated by her.
"There's definitely no such amount. Ask Yi He to buy it, he has the money anyway. I have a big task for you. I've received a tip that actress Zhuang Xinya will also be attending this event. She hasn't been seen in a long time. Please pay attention and see if you can dig up anything."
Xu Qingye remembered that in the original novel, Zhuang Xinya married a fake rich businessman. She found out she was cheated after the marriage. In order to save face, she had to hold on and started to make a comeback after retiring for two years.
This business evening party was an attempt for her to make a comeback. There were many wealthy businessmen and celebrities present, and she also wanted to find some opportunities.
"What an unfamiliar name. Let me search for it."
Zhuang Xinya is a veteran film queen. Young people may not be familiar with her, but they will have some impression of her when they see her face. She filmed many movies in her early years and won all the awards she could. She originally planned to retire happily after getting married, but who would have thought that she would be defrauded.
I don’t know what her mentality was, but Zhuang Xinya did not choose to divorce, but chose to make a comeback.
"What's our theme? A movie queen's comeback, suspected marital problems?"
Cao Muan searched quickly and located the location quickly. Xu Qingye glanced at her and didn't expect Cao Muan to be so perceptive.
"How do you know it's a divorce? I never told you."
"Judging from the story's twists and turns, the reason for her retirement and comeback should be the same. I looked it up and saw she retired for love to focus on life and family. Now that she's not focusing on her family, there must be something wrong with them. It's simple logic. Did I get it right? Could it be that her husband is cheating on her?"
Cao Muan covered his mouth. She just said it casually, how could she have guessed it so easily?
"No, I don't know the details. You can try to contact them. It would be best if you can develop them into our clients. I don't want to blackmail the press release, but to become a long-term and stable client."
"This is a bit difficult. She is an all-round movie queen who has won so many awards at home and abroad. We are just a small studio. Even if they want to cooperate, they will not come to us. What is the highlight of our company?" Cao Muan rolled his eyes and tried to think about the company's advantages, but it seemed that there were none.
"You figure it out yourself. If you succeed, I'll give you 50% commission." Xu Qingye opened his hands and waved them. He couldn't always be the only one attracting clients. Others had to work hard as well.
"Okay, I'll try my best."
After hearing about the 50% commission, Cao Muan was completely unable to say no.
"Well, you and Yi He will help each other and work hard to complete the task."
Xu Qingye nodded with satisfaction. The employees were finally willing to work hard.
After accepting the task, Cao Muan first went back to City A to discuss the specific plan with Yi He. Winning the Best Actress title is not something that can be achieved in a few words, and the right remedy must be found. The crux of the matter lies in marriage, but more reasons are not known yet, so a careful analysis must be made first.
Xu Qingye had nothing to do, so he went to the film and television city while staying in City C. Su Ziyu's "The Compound" had been completed and post-production had begun. If all went well, it would be released within the year. Xu Qingye was just waiting for some return from "The Compound".
There are quite a few movies being filmed in the film and television city recently. Xu Qingye took a stroll around and roughly got a general idea of the various crews.
The film and television city has an official blog that publishes information about each crew so that fans can come to visit the set and encounter them, and the film and television city can also make some money from ticket sales.
The film and television city mainly shoots costume dramas and Republican dramas. Recently, they have been building new scenes. I heard that Lu Scriptwriter is going to shoot a new drama, and they have specially restored a scene from the Dayu Dynasty. It's a pity that it is fenced off, otherwise Xu Qingye would definitely go and take a look.
Since there was no specific target to shoot, Xu Qingye simply followed the crowd to see who had so many fans. When he got closer, he realized it was an acquaintance.
Li Wei.
Li Wei is currently filming "The Young Master", which is her best costume drama. The publicity for the drama is pretty good and the overall configuration is acceptable, but the male lead is a newcomer who has only been in the industry for three years. In his last drama, he was only the male No. N. I don't know how he was promoted to the male lead in this drama.
Li Wei's recent dramas all have the same cast, either top newcomers or some talented male actors with little traffic.
After the show was broadcast, the male lead reaped all the benefits. In Li Wei's own words, she was like a big blood bag, constantly having her blood sucked, and this show was the same.
The place where fans can stand is actually very far away from the crew, and they can only barely see clearly.
Xu Qingye had already figured out the film and television city. He knew where he could see more clearly. After standing in the crowd for a while, he quietly slipped into a small path.
The atmosphere on the set of "Pin Jiang Shan" was a bit bad at the moment. A scene had been shot for several times but still failed to pass. Li Wei was already a bit impatient. She looked at the male lead in front of her without any courtesy at all.
"Can you really do it? As an actor, I don't ask you to have superb acting skills, but you have to remember the basic lines. It's just this one scene, and you said 'Sorry, I forgot the line' so many times. Can you remember the lines clearly?"
Li Wei was furious. Her good temper was just an act and now it had been worn out. She wore a three-pound headgear and slapped the man over and over again many times. Whenever the man made a mistake, he would show an innocent expression, which was really annoying to watch.
Li Wei walked away, and everyone in the crew fell silent. A group of people looked at the male lead, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault for delaying the progress. Let's shoot the other people's parts first. I'll go apologize to Sister Li Wei."
The male protagonist bowed to everyone and then ran away quickly. However, he did not go to apologize to Li Wei as he said, but went straight back to the RV to rest.
Xu Qingye squatted on the roof not far away and filmed the scene just now. The actor's face looked unfamiliar. Xu Qingye searched his name and found out that he was a contracted artist of Fangtang Film and Television. Fangtang Film and Television was also one of the best brokerage companies in the circle and had independent production capabilities. Xu Qingye searched for the news of "Pin Jiangshan" again and found that Fangtang Film and Television had invested in it, so it was normal for them to support their own people.
The male lead, Ding Xiaoran, has only been in the industry for three years and has played a few small roles, gaining some popularity, but his statistics are too poor, and it would be a stretch to call him an 18th-tier actor.
There must be something fishy about him suddenly being promoted to play the male lead.
Xu Qingye clicked on a gossip group, which was full of paparazzi, making it convenient for them to share news with each other.
Xu Qingye asked about Ding Xiaoran in the group, and a few minutes later someone sent him a private message.
Xu Qingye was just about to have a detailed chat with the other party when he heard footsteps from behind and the security guard's somewhat impatient voice rang out.
"Who's there? I told you not to come in, why are you still blind?"
When Xu Qingye heard the sound, he quickly put on a mask and slipped to the other side with his camera. The rooftop where he was staying was rented out to the crew for filming, and tourists were not allowed to enter. Before being discovered by the security guard, Xu Qingye quickly slipped away. This was the benefit of being familiar with the film and television city, making it convenient to slip away quickly.
Unfortunately, the buildings at the film and television city are always changing, so you have to come often to always find a good spot.
After finding a safe place, Xu Qingye turned on his phone again.
