Chapter 108 The 108th Commitment Role
Chen Que was a very quick-acting person. Although they were sitting across from each other on the coffee table, he was in front of him in the blink of an eye. Xu Qingye stepped back and his back hit the sofa. Chen Que grabbed his waist and pulled him back.
"What are you hiding from?"
Shen Que rested his forehead on Xu Qingye's head and asked in a low voice.
"I'm not hiding. Can you please stop thinking about this kind of thing all day? Can't we do something else when we meet?"
Xu Qingye swallowed his saliva and tried to distance himself from Shen Que. He didn't think of himself as a hedonistic person before, but ever since he got together with Shen Que, whenever they were together, they would spend the whole day making love and forget about the world.
Shen Que's lips fell on Xu Qingye's neck, and she couldn't help but smile when she heard his words.
"If I don't think about these things at my age, I'll be wasting my time. Scream softly, the soundproofing here is not good."
After Shen Que finished speaking, he continued to work hard. Xu Qingye snorted and reached out to push him.
"Wait, I have to work tomorrow, stop bothering me."
Xu Qingye begged for mercy. He came here just to see Chen Que, to give him a kiss and a hug as a token of his affection. But Chen Que always pushed his luck.
"Don't worry, I'll just take a few bites. I know my limits."
Shen Que responded vaguely, his hand already touching Xu Qingye's waistband. Xu Qingye kicked twice in protest, but his ankle was grabbed by Shen Que.
The words "poor sound insulation" were still ringing in his ears. Xu Qingye suppressed his anger and dared not make a sound. He glared at Shen Que and bit his arm.
To say it was just a taste meant that the progress bar was only pushed back to 90%. Xu Qingye collapsed into a puddle, his eyelashes wet with tears, and he sat on the sofa like a wounded puppy.
Chen Que took a tissue to help Xu Qingye clean up, and was met with several rolls of eyes. Xu Qingye raised his leg to kick him, but Chen Que grabbed his ankle, bent down and kissed him on the leg. Xu Qingye immediately retracted his kiss as if he had been electrocuted.
"You're a pervert!!"
"You're reaching out so I can kiss you, aren't you?"
"Damn it! Bring me my clothes, I'm leaving."
Xu Qingye cursed and said he shouldn’t have come today!
"Don't you want to stay? It's quite late."
Hearing that Xu Qingye was about to leave, Shen Que reached out and pulled him.
"I have work tomorrow, and there are a lot of people around here. It wouldn't be good if someone saw you. Besides, I don't trust you very much. I'm staying in a hotel not far away, so I'll be there soon. Don't worry."
Xu Qingye shook his head. He didn't know what Shen Que's plans were for tomorrow. Anyway, he had already made a full schedule. The meeting with the main creators would not start until the afternoon. In the morning, he planned to take Lin Yang to the film and television city. The film and television city was the place where you could get the most melons. People in their line of work had to be very familiar with the film and television city.
They wandered around until noon before heading to the venue. Today's pure roadshow wouldn't take long. The most important thing was the preview, which would not start for some time. Chen Que had already reserved tickets for them, so there was no need to worry too much.
The promotional activity is mainly in the form of a chat. The host asks some questions, the creative team answers the questions, interacts with the audience, plays some small games, and finally ends with a group photo.
The main creators have to travel to many cities, and after they finish a round, they will start holding preview screenings. In short, they will be very busy before the official release.
In order to grab the release date, the schedule of "Dawn" is very tight, which makes the actors have to work hard.
"Then I'll take you back."
Shen Que helped Xu Qingye put on his clothes, and was reluctant to let him go, so he reached out and took him into his arms again. It had been a long time since they last met, and Xu Qingye was also cruel.
"No need. You send me off and I send you off. We won't sleep tonight. Just stay here."
Xu Qingye refused. If Chen Que escorted him for a five-minute walk, who knows how long it would take. They would talk sweetly for a while, and then kiss each other sweetly for a while at the door. Maybe she would even pester him and walk him off. In short, Xu Qingye could already foresee that scene.
"Okay, I'll take you downstairs then."
Shen Que took a step back, but Xu Qingye still refused sternly.
"The promotional event is a public schedule. There are a lot of paparazzi waiting here. Stop looking for trouble and stay put. I'll come find you next time."
Xu Qingye shook his head, walked to the door, took Chen Que's head perfunctorily, kissed him twice on the forehead, and then quickly left.
Shen Que looked at the closed door and sighed helplessly, then returned to the living room and cleaned up Xu Qingye's half-eaten midnight snack.
Xu Qingye walked back to the hotel. As soon as he opened the door, the door of Lin Yang's room next door opened and Lin Yang poked his head out.
"Boss, you're back."
"You haven't slept yet, go get some rest."
Xu Qingye looked at Lin Yang. Lin Yang had changed into pajamas and was wearing glasses. He looked quite energetic. He heard it as soon as he came back, so he must not have gone to bed yet.
"I can't sleep, so I'm watching a movie. Boss, do you want to watch it with me?"
Lin Yang was a bit of a bed snob. He tossed and turned for a while but couldn't fall asleep. So he just got up and watched a movie.
"No, you should go to bed early too. You have to get up early tomorrow."
Xu Qingye shook his head. Lin Yang simply wasn't tired enough. If he were truly tired, he wouldn't have any trouble finding his bed. He'd practically fall asleep the moment he lay down. For example, right now, he was about to return to his room and collapse.
Even though he thought so, Xu Qingye still started talking on the phone with Shen Que after he lay down. He didn't hang up until he fell asleep, and they talked for the whole night.
The crews from the film and television city come and go, and they are different every time they come. Xu Qingye introduced Lin Yang to the good positions for squatting shooting, and also talked about many precautions.
"You have to be extra careful when flying a drone. Some crews will just shoot you down, so try not to use them if you can. I recently bought a few smaller ones that can fly a bit. The previous models were pretty easy to knock down with a stick, so try not to fly them if you can. They're pretty expensive, after all."
"Where can we fly then?"
Lin Yang nodded, and couldn't help asking, it seemed like a waste if you bought it but didn't use it.
"When shooting on location in the wild, you can fly a little bit because it's relatively open and easy to run. Otherwise, just treat it as a fixed asset of the company."
Xu Qingye spread his hands. He had never been beaten, but the bloody lessons learned by his colleagues were right in front of him.
"Let's just find a random crew to take some Reuters photos."
Xu Qingye looked at the time and found that there was still some time, so he looked at the notices of the film and television city and found a popular crew to take Lin Yang to.
There are always some beautiful Reuters photos on the Internet, which are excellent publicity for TV series, so many crews are not completely against sneak shots. As long as it is not excessive, they basically turn a blind eye.
However, sometimes the original film is not as good as the Reuters version, and many viewers cry out that it is a scam.
While Xu Qingye was teaching hard here, the main creators of "Dawn" arrived at the venue and started to put on makeup.
Zhao Wen arranged a makeup team for Shen Que, as it would be more reassuring if it was used by her own people.
"Teacher Shen, do you want to have your hair curly? Your hair has grown a lot recently, so a curly hairstyle would be nice."
The stylist fiddled with Chen Que's hair, and the length was quite suitable for styling.
"Okay, you watch it."
Shen Que nodded and did not refuse. He himself had no sense of fashion, so he left it to professionals.
Zhao Wen sat aside and looked at Chen Que. Chen Que was quite silent the whole morning. Although he was usually like this, it was obvious that he was unhappy today. She moved her chair towards him and couldn't help gossiping.
"Why, did you have a fight?"
Shen Que was stunned for a moment before realizing that Zhao Wen was talking about Xu Qingye, and he shook his head.
"No, why would I argue with him?"
"Then why are you so depressed? You seemed quite happy before you came here."
"I just feel like we're a little too busy and don't have enough time to spend together."
Shen Que sighed. He only stayed for more than an hour yesterday. There would still be no way they could meet often for a long time. He couldn't ask Xu Qingye to stop working and accompany him.
"It can't be helped. This is how things are in our line of work. It's normal to be apart more often than together. I'll try to arrange more rest time for you."
Zhao Wen spread her hands helplessly. Shen Que's current work is not saturated yet. The schedules of those top artists are very tight. Let alone falling in love, they are lucky if they can sleep a little longer every day.
As for Shen Que, I estimate that he will only have two to three years of leisure time, and if he is lucky, he may not even have a year of leisure time.
"Does Shen Que have a girlfriend? Isn't she very beautiful?"
The makeup artist gossiped a little while applying concealer to his neck. The two red marks on his neck were very noticeable, making it difficult for him to argue.
"That's very beautiful. You're not complaining to me that you don't have time to accompany me. You're still young and full of yearning for love, unlike me, who only wants to make money."
Zhao Wen pulled open Chen Que's collar and took a look, clicking her tongue twice. They still didn't have time to stay together. Who knows what it would be like if they had time.
The makeup artist quickly styled Shen Que. Unlike his tough image in the drama, Shen Que is still very youthful in private. The stylist paired him with a long striped shirt and a head of curly hair, giving him a lazy Japanese feel.
The event was about to begin. Shen Que lifted a corner of the curtain and looked outside. Unfortunately, the venue was too dark to see the faces of the people in their seats, and he didn't know whether Xu Qingye had arrived.
I just sent him a message and he didn't reply.
The roadshow is mainly for the male and female protagonists. Shen Que's main purpose today is to play the role of a background board. His role does not have much interaction with the male and female protagonists. Director Xin brought him along because he wanted him to show his face more often, which can be regarded as a kind of promotion.
"Shen Que, the host will ask you some questions in a while, just answer normally, don't be too nervous."
Director Xin walked up to Shen Que, patted his shoulder, and then looked him up and down.
"You look very handsome today. The role in the movie has influenced your handsomeness."
Shen Que's character is rather depressing, so the images of him are all gray, and his makeup also covers up many of his strengths, which actually sacrifices a lot of his looks.
“The styling in the drama is also great, with a wild beauty.”
"Next time I'll make a movie for you that shows off your handsomeness, and you must reserve the schedule for me."
"Thank you, Director Xin. We will definitely make time for your movie."
When Zhao Wen heard what Director Xin said, she hurried forward to shake his hand. This was not just a greeting, but a preparation for giving Shen Que a role. Director Xin was not a prolific director. His scripts were always revised over and over again, and it took several years to polish out a satisfactory one. Therefore, it was difficult to be in his dramas. If you missed it once, you didn't know how long you would have to wait.
Now that Director Xin has said this, he will definitely not go back on his word. Although I don’t know when the next movie will be released, it’s always nice to thank him in advance.
"You're welcome. Many of my friends and I have recommended Xiao Shen. He's a really good talent and will definitely have great development."
Director Xin looked at Shen Que and smiled with satisfaction. Shen Que felt a little embarrassed by the praise and smiled shyly.
