Chapter 99
In a tit-for-tat manner, Xu Qingye was instructed on movements for most of the day and was so tired that he could not move a finger. He lay on the bed and propped up a small table.
Shen Que helped him import all the photos into the computer, and now he was looking at them one by one.
"Delete this one."
"Keep this one."
"Which of these two do you think is better? Keep the one you like."
Xu Qingye directed Shen Que's operations. It was inevitable that some waste films would be produced during the shooting, but he liked most of the photos. Shen Que was originally very photogenic, and he was even more relaxed in front of Xu Qingye, so he was in a particularly good state.
The superior muscle lines are full of wild hormones, the blurred eyes are full of infinite imagination, and there is a hint of sexiness, which is very sexy.
Turning to the last photo, there was a photo of the two of them. Xu Qingye looked at himself being held in Chen Que's arms and kissed, and his face suddenly turned red again.
"Delete it."
Xu Qingye ordered.
“No, I’m going to keep it.”
Shen Que turned the computer towards him and enlarged the photo to look at it carefully. Xu Qingye was like a frightened little animal in his arms, and he looked weak and pitiful.
Shen Que really likes this set of photos and wants to use it as a screen saver.
"If you like it, keep it."
Xu Qingye didn't struggle at all. He turned the computer around, imported the selected photos into the software, and briefly edited them. He flipped through them again. Shen's appearance was the biggest plus point of this set of photos. As expected, the most important thing about a photo shoot is that the model looks good! His skills were still too ordinary, lacking in many aspects. His level was good enough for a simple film, but Xu Qingye figured he had enough to open a photo studio.
If we go any further, there will be a lot missing.
Xu Qingye stared at the photo in a daze, and Shen Que poked him.
"I used to be the one always daydreaming, but now it's your turn. Is daydreaming contagious?"
Shen Que hugged Xu Qingye from behind and put his chin on his shoulder.
"I'm not daydreaming, I'm thinking. I'm thinking about the gap between me and those photographers. Maybe I can rent a studio and give it a try next time."
Xu Qingye thought about it and thought that maybe it was because the equipment at home was not good enough. Poor students always blamed the stationery for not being good enough, and he was the same.
"I think your photos are great. Don't worry too much about it. Photography is a very subjective thing. Everyone has their own aesthetic. It's artistic, not technical."
"You're right, but I think taking pictures still requires some skills. I'll try harder next time."
Xu Qingye stopped worrying about it. He put his watermark on all the photos. Unfortunately, he couldn't send them out, so he could only keep them for himself.
“I really want to watermark you too.”
Xu Qingye saved the photos and put the computer aside. He turned over and pressed Chen Que under him. He took an eyeliner from the makeup bag beside him, pulled open Chen Que's clothes on his chest and started to draw.
The eyeliner felt a little cool and itchy when it touched his skin. Shen Que endured it and did not move. He could only stare at Xu Qingye's head.
Xu Qingye finished quickly and drew his watermark on Shen Que's chest.
Shen Que looked in the mirror and saw the word "野" written on his heart, in the same beautiful cursive font as the watermark on the photo.
"It's really beautiful. I want to get a tattoo."
Shen Que looked at the pattern on his chest and felt like he was marked.
"No, it's too inconvenient for actors to have tattoos. They have to cover you up during filming. Many shows don't allow tattoos to be shown. Don't make things difficult for yourself."
Xu Qingye quickly spoke up, saying that the area of his chest was too obvious and could be seen if he wore clothes with a low collar. Moreover, it would be impossible to explain why something as concrete as a name tattoo was being photographed.
Shen Que's career has just begun, and he can't let love ruin it.
"What if I tattoo it somewhere invisible?"
Shen Que still wanted to struggle.
"What if one day, a movie needs your sacrifice? You can't just tattoo it under your armpit. There's no need to prove anything in this way. I know you have me in your heart, that's all."
Xu Qingye shook his head. The main reason was that the tattoo was painful and he didn't want to go through this. He was not a child anymore and didn't need someone to keep doing something to prove the existence of love.
Xu Qingye's phone vibrated, and Shen Que brought it to him. Xu Qingye took a look and saw that it was a report from Cao Muan about the progress of the studio. It was already in the final stage. They just needed to buy some furniture and let it air out before moving in.
"Would you like to visit my studio tomorrow? We'll be neighbors from now on."
Xu Qingye invited Shen Que. No guests had ever visited his studio before, and Shen Que would be the first one.
"good."
Shen Que leaned over to take a look. Because it was a long-term lease, the decoration of the studio was much more serious this time. Xu Qingye specially hired a designer to design it.
"By the way, this is for you."
Shen Que suddenly thought of something. He took out a card from the bedside table and handed it to Xu Qingye.
Xu Qingye looked at the bank card with some confusion.
"Why did you give me the card?"
"You said before that you would stop being polite to me when I made money. These are your wages."
Xu Qingye recalled and remembered this.
"Glory Films has already paid me for the publicity. You don't have to pay me."
"I'm not giving you money. I'm handing over my salary and you save it for me. I don't usually have any special expenses."
Shen Que changed his words.
"Okay, I'll save it for you. Ask me for it when you need it."
Xu Qingye put the card away without asking how much was on it. Shen Que had only filmed one TV series and one movie. He played a supporting role in the movie, so the remuneration would not be too much. It would not be his turn to share the profits later, so it was most likely that it was just a lump sum of remuneration.
Part of the money from the TV series had already been given to Chen Mu, and the remaining money shouldn't be much. Xu Qingye hadn't studied other advertising and commercial income, but he could probably calculate it based on the newcomer's worth.
Speaking of money, Xu Qingye couldn't help but search for information about "The Compound". He was waiting to share the profits after "The Compound" was broadcast.
The official Weibo of "The Compound" updated some behind-the-scenes footage, but there is no specific release date and broadcast platform yet. He joined the group and took a look. Because he was considered an investor, Xu Qingye was pulled into an internal group. The group has been quite quiet recently. The drama production team has been updating the latest developments. The editing has been completed and is being submitted for review. It is expected to be broadcast during the winter vacation after review.
Xu Qingye looked at the comprehensive data on the Internet, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously. Film and television investment is still quite profitable. He has recently invested in some short dramas. Short dramas have a short cycle and quick returns, and some funds have begun to flow back.
The five-day vacation passed very quickly, especially when two people were together.
The crew of "Dawn" officially wrapped up filming, and Xu Qingye took advantage of Shen Que's help to join the crew again. Because it had been wrapped up and there was no spoiler involved, the crew was very polite to the media present and they could film and interview as much as they wanted.
Xu Qingye bought a large bouquet of flowers. The crew was full of big names, and Shen Que stood in the middle of it, looking inconspicuous. However, Xu Qingye only had eyes for him.
Many fans came to the scene, basically all fans of the male and female protagonists. When they were surrounded, Xu Qingye walked up to Shen Que holding flowers.
"Happy wrap-up, Mr. Shen, and may your success continue."
Xu Qingye handed the flowers to Shen Que, who took them with both hands and held them in his arms carefully.
"Thanks."
After giving the flowers, Xu Qingye sat next to Shen Que. Occasionally, people would come to Shen Que to take photos or visit him, and Xu Qingye would watch quietly from the side.
The wrap-up party was held at a nearby hotel, and the media present were also invited to attend. Xu Qingye followed the crowd. He and Shen Que looked at each other across the crowd and smiled at each other.
I thought that Shen Que would be free after the filming was finished, but Zhao Wen handed him a lot of work schedules, including magazines, interviews, advertising shoots, etc., which would keep him busy for three or four months.
Fortunately, I am not busy continuously. I can have a few days of rest after finishing each work.
When Xu Qingye was free, he would follow Chen Que on the itinerary, and when he was busy, he would go about his own business. Several months passed like this.
After moving into the new studio, it became much easier for Xu Qingye to find Chen Que. He seemed to have good luck after moving in. The Shining Crown was approaching the night of the group formation, and there were not many students left.
The prediction post that Xu Qingye initially posted using the whistleblower account was pushed up by someone, but it was just a colleague looking for trouble.
Entertainment Industry Hammer Brother: /Repost/ Entertainment Industry's No. 1 Gossip Blogger's Debut Prediction. I've noticed this blogger's predictions since the beginning of "Shining Crown." Now it seems unlikely to come true. For one thing, Jiang Yihao, who was predicted to make the cut, currently has the lowest scores and is on the verge of elimination. Sun Yichen's performance is also mediocre, and he's at risk of elimination. With two unlikely candidates already, and the blogger being so certain, I'm afraid he's going to fail.
This Hammer guy retweeted the Weibo post, and a group of people followed suit. Xu Qingye didn't know what he was laughing at. Even if he guessed two wrong, it was already amazing that he predicted so many people correctly. He actually made fun of him!
"I can tell from the first glance that this guy doesn't know what a destiny-changing script, a heaven-sacrificing script, or the royal family are. He doesn't understand the draft at all."
Xu Qingye sneered and called out to Cao Muan, who immediately entered the office.
"What's wrong? Why are you calling me suddenly?"
Cao Muan is busy doing data. Song Nanxi is sure to debut, but it is still uncertain whether she will be the center. But as long as she can debut, her fan club will make money.
"That group from last time can be dealt with. All the methods of vote-stealing and vote-stolen should be exposed. I think the rankings will change soon."
As he went deeper into the undercover operation, Cao Muan discovered that the main purpose of that group was actually to manipulate votes, deceive fans into voting, and use your money to vote for the opponent. It was so vicious!
When she heard that the net was about to be closed, Cao Muan immediately became excited. In order to stay undercover for a long time, she had spent a lot of money, and she would make them cough up everything when the net was closed.
Voting manipulation in the draft. This kind of thing happens all the time. Based on past experience, it is likely that they will just delete the incorrect data and will not compensate those whose votes were stolen. All that will happen is that some people's rankings will drop rapidly.
Ticket rigging is the most common shady dealings in talent shows, but the difference this time is that the person behind the scenes is definitely an insider of the show, so once it’s exposed, the reputation of the production team will definitely be affected.
After all, an internal thief is no small matter.
After thinking for a while, Xu Qingye revealed some information to Strawberry TV. Strawberry TV tried to settle it with money, but Xu Qingye refused. The popularity of such things is much more useful than money. Besides, the internal problems are the management problems of Strawberry TV. Suppressing the matter will not solve the problem.
So, on the eve of the "Crown of Glory" group formation night, the news with the fiery red word "explosion" on it was ranked first in the hot search!
