Chapter 104: The Butterfly Effect Shen Que was busy auditioning...

While Shen Que was busy with the audition, Xu Qingye and that entertainment industry hammer brother started arguing again. Xu Qingye declared war on him but he ignored her and started spreading rumors that Xu Qingye had inside information, that there was something shady about "Glory Crown", and that the debut position was predetermined, and he even dragged Strawberry TV into it.

It is a taboo to have shady dealings in talent shows. Although there are some unspoken rules that everyone knows, defaulting on a show is something that absolutely cannot happen. This is not only irresponsible to the voting audience, but also to all the brokerage companies involved in the talent show. Everyone participates in the talent show to get a piece of the pie. If it is completely defaulted, there is no point in participating.

Therefore, the words of this hammer brother can be considered quite intense.

"Check which company this number belongs to."

Xu Qingye didn't want to talk to him any more. Strawberry TV would definitely deal with him if he spread rumors and slandered him. But he didn't know what this person was planning by suddenly targeting him.

"Oger, it's probably to take advantage of the popularity. Big companies probably don't have the time to target you. It's probably a personal act."

Yi He checked and quickly came to a conclusion. Xu Qingye was stunned when he heard the word "Oger". This was the original owner's previous company, and his godfather was still there.

"Let me ask my godfather what's going on."

As Xu Qingye was talking, he called Brother Huang. It took a long time before Brother Huang answered the call. Xu Qingye explained the situation, but Brother Huang didn't care.

"A tall tree attracts the wind. Your account's recent data is so good that everyone wants to get some of it. Don't you see how many fans he has gained during the period of arguing with you? There will be many such things in the future. Marketing accounts don't only fight with fans and celebrities, they are enemies with their peers."

Brother Huang checked the account name that Xu Qingye mentioned and compared it with the real person. It turned out to be a new employee. He was probably in a hurry to achieve some results, so he came up with this idea.

"Got it. I'll come visit you when I'm free."

"Go home, don't come to the company."

Brother Huang smiled. He was afraid that Xu Qingye would switch from online to offline and have a real-person PK, so he specifically emphasized the address.

"Don't worry, I'm not that boring."

Xu Qingye laughed. Brother Huang was worrying too much. With his weak arms and legs, how could he fight offline? But it was not impossible. They had a powerful fighter on their side.

"Can we go to the live show on the group's debut night? Lu Feiwan has already got the tickets. Boss, are you going?"

Xu Qingye was considering whether Cao Muan could be her thug when she excitedly rushed to his desk.

"If you want to go, go ahead. If I don't want to go, ask someone else."

There were no camera equipment on site and mobile phones were not allowed. Sitting there for several hours watching the performance was something Xu Qingye couldn't do. He couldn't put down his phone for a long time.

"If they don't want to go, I'll go by myself."

Xu Qingye wasn't going either. Cao Muan thought about it and @ed Shen Mu in the group, asking Shen Mu if he wanted to go. It was rare that Shen Mu was free.

Shen Mu: Yes, wait for me.

Xu Qingye took a look at the messages in the group and it seemed that Shen Mu had finished his recent work.

Regarding Shen Mu's internship, Xu Qingye asked Shen Qing and Li Wei. Both of them have stylist teams. If Shen Mu wants to intern, he can just go there directly. It depends on where Shen Mu wants to go more.

Li Wei has better fashion resources. She has many popular looks every year, and her team of stylists is more professional. After all, she has a big name here.

Shen Qing is not completely without advantages. Her stylist is very standard and does not make mistakes. If Shen Mu goes there, there will be more room for her to show her talents.

Xu Qingye explained the situation on both sides to Shen Mu and let her make her own decision.

Xu Qingye has been a little busy recently, and he worked overtime at the company. He was going to the cafeteria to have a midnight snack before going back. There are many varieties of midnight snacks in the cafeteria, which can handle a meal.

"Let's go together. I'm a little hungry too."

Yi He rubbed his hands and stood up. "The Compound" has recently started to solicit investment, and the early investment data is good. If they can maintain this figure after the show is broadcast, they will be able to make a lot of money.

Yi He also invested in some other things along with Xu Qingye. He had already tasted some success in short dramas, but Xu Qingye has recently turned his attention back to feature dramas. Yi He himself did not dare to invest money casually, so he decided to follow Xu Qingye.

There were not many people in the cafeteria at night. Xu Qingye ordered some barbecue. He ate while looking at his mobile phone. His professional habit made him jump around in various forum posts.

"Don't you have any good projects to take me on recently?"

Yi He ate something and put it down. He was not particularly hungry, he just wanted to chat with Xu Qingye.

"There is a movie I want to invest in, but I haven't made up my mind yet."

Xu Qingye thought about it. There was a low-budget dark horse movie in the original novel. With an investment of tens of millions, it earned hundreds of millions at the box office. If the investment was successful, it would definitely be a huge profit. The reason Xu Qingye hesitated was that the protagonist of the previous drama was originally an artist signed by Qingcheng Film and Television, and now that person was busy suing Qingcheng Film and Television. In the end, he didn't know whether the protagonist would change.

The director is a very stubborn person. He accepted investment but would not accept comments from investors. He would never allow actors to change the script or something like that. Because of this, the director did not attract much investment, so the crew has not been set up yet.

The problem that Xu Qingye is worried about is that if the leading actor changes, will the movie be as popular as before? He is not sure what the operating rules of this world are. Sometimes he is not even sure whether this world is the world in the book. Because of his arrival, many things have actually changed. The chain reaction brought about by this is huge. Xu Qingye is a little unsure whether the things he knows will still happen.

"What does it mean to be undecided? Tell me what you are concerned about and I will analyze it for you."

Yi He became interested as he saw Xu Qingye's indecisive look. He tried to study Xu Qingye's investment thinking, but his research failed. Xu Qingye did not look at the director or the leading actor when investing, as if it was all based on his subjective consciousness. Although there were only a few short plays as successful cases now and the money from the long play had not yet been recovered, according to the data, there would definitely be no loss, so Xu Qingye must have his own reasons for investing.

So seeing his hesitation, Yi He couldn't help but feel curious.

"It's not a big problem actually. It's just that this director is quite stubborn. An actor I like is currently busy suing Qingcheng Films. I wanted to recommend him to audition, but I don't know if he will be successful. If he doesn't take the role, I'm worried that the film's performance will not be as good as I expected. But I'm also worried that my choice is not right and will delay the show, so I'm very conflicted."

Xu Qingye is worried that the butterfly effect has already begun, and the facts and the story have deviated, so the original configuration may fail.

Taking Shen Que as an example, in the original novel he should still be playing a minor role instead of having already finished filming his first movie.

The original novel did not mention what the first movie was, but it said that Shen Que won the Best Newcomer Award for his first movie. It is not known whether this result will be verified or not. Anyway, Xu Qingye is a little unsure now.

"What's there to worry about? You can recommend it, but it's up to the director to make the final choice. Maybe he thinks your recommendation is good, or maybe he has a better candidate. The success of a play is related to the actors, but I think the most important thing is the story itself. If the story itself is fine and the director's ability is also good, I think you can invest in it. Besides, investment is risky, and you can't guarantee that you will only make money and not lose money."

Yi He thought that it was not a big problem, it was just a risk issue. No investment would be 100% successful, at most the risk would just be higher.

"Only rich people would say that. I have a poor ability to resist risks. I need to think about it again."

Xu Qingye glanced at Yi He. He still hoped that the wind direction would be smaller. After all, most of it was Shen Que's money, and he couldn't squander it all.

"Then you recommend it to me and I'll invest in it. If there's profit, I'll give you a cut of the profits, and if there's loss, I'll keep it."

"I'll think about it and study it further."

Xu Qingye did not agree immediately. Even if it was Yi He's money, he couldn't just waste it. He planned to talk to the director first. After the talk, he would have the answer in his mind.

"Well, I'll wait for your good news."

Yi He was not in a hurry either. He recently registered an investment company which would be used exclusively for film and television investment. Once he succeeded, his brother would no longer be able to scold him for doing nothing.

The two were chatting idly when someone came over.

"Xiao Ye, long time no see."

Hearing someone calling him, Xu Qingye looked up and was a little surprised to see who it was. He shouldn't have seen her here at this time.

"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be resting at home at this hour?"

The person who came was Xu Hong. She was as dazzling as ever. Xu Qingye looked at her calmly, treating her as just a passerby. His initially turbulent emotions had long since calmed down.

"Mr. Gu invited me to read the script, saying that there is a role that is very suitable for me. I wanted to refuse, but Mr. Gu insisted that I come to take a look first. I thought that we have been friends for so many years with Rongyao Film and Television, and I can't be too heartless if the company needs me. Now that we have talked, I want to come and have something to eat, and I didn't expect to meet you. How have you been recently? I heard that you opened a studio nearby. I wanted to visit you, but I was afraid of disturbing you too much."

Xu Hong sat down next to Xu Qingye, and Xiao Yang beside her had no choice but to sit down with her. Xu Qingye was a bit decisive in doing things. Not only did he return the money, he also express-delivered so many things related to Xu Hong, which made Xu Hong cry.

"I'm fine. My studio is right there. You can come whenever you want. If you have business, you can introduce me. I can give you a discount for your sake."

Xu Qingye pointed in the direction of his studio.

"I heard that you were the one who orchestrated Zhuang Xinya's recent comeback. I was quite surprised. But now that I see you like this, I feel relieved. I won't bother you for now, so as not to affect your appetite. I'll come to see you later."

After Xu Hong finished speaking, she stood up. She glanced at Yi Hechong standing beside her and nodded to him as a greeting.

As soon as Xu Hong left, Yi He immediately looked at Xu Qingye with gossip.

"What's going on? It sounds like you two are familiar with each other."

Xu Hong is semi-retired, but she still releases works every year and is fairly well-known. Yi He naturally knows her, but Xu Qingye never mentioned that he also knows Xu Hong. Xu Hong's network of contacts and resources in the circle are considerable.

"My mother."

Xu Qingye said this casually, and Yi He indeed looked around hurriedly, and breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that there was no one around. He wondered if he had heard it wrongly.

"Your what, Mom?"
