Chapter 109 The premiere of the 109th Melon was held at the Grand Theater...

The event was held in the Grand Theater. The theater was packed with people, mostly from the media. On the chairs were small gifts prepared by the crew, which were peripheral items related to the movie and the leading actors.

Xu Qingye opened the gift bag. The crew was quite fashionable and prepared a lot of cards. Xu Qingye was lucky enough to open Shen Que's card. Lin Yang on the side opened the male lead's card. He took a look at Shen Que's card in Xu Qingye's hand with envy.

"Boss, can I switch with you?"

Lin Yang waved his small card in front of Xu Qingye. Xu Qingye looked at him and patted him on the head.

"I told you not to expose your idolization. How come you have not improved at all? Take it. I'll give it all to you. If you don't improve at all next time, I'll deduct your salary."

Xu Qingye gave all the bags to Lin Yang. He was not very interested in the peripherals. Anyway, he could ask Shen Que to take any kind of photos he wanted. He also had many exclusive limited editions in his computer.

"Thank you, boss. I understand."

Lin Yang took the bag and smiled excitedly, but he quickly restrained himself and quickly pretended to be a professional adult.

The event started with the main creators appearing on stage amid warm applause. The host said a few words and announced the start of the event. Some behind-the-scenes footage of the movie was broadcast on the big screen, mainly some early creative inspirations and the like.

Xu Qingye didn't look carefully, his attention was all on Shen Que. Shen Que's look today was particularly good, very different from usual. He sat there quietly, seemingly in a daze again.

Xu Qingye pointed his camera at Shen Que and took several photos.

"There is a special actor in our creative team this time. He is a newcomer, but he just won the Best Actor Award at the Golden Swallow Awards not long ago. He is not a professional actor, so I am actually very curious about him. I wonder if Shen Que can talk to everyone about the opportunity to enter this industry and some of his feelings after becoming an actor?"

The host looked at Shen Que. Shen Que stood up, greeted everyone politely, then took the microphone and started speaking.

"Hello everyone, I'm Shen Que. I'm very happy to meet you all here. I've talked about how I became an actor before. I'm a boring person. For a long time, I didn't know what I wanted to do. My original life plan was to continue studying, and when I ran out of books to read, I would teach others to read. My life would have been a rather boring path. It was a chance that I wanted to make a movie and become an actor. I suddenly discovered that there are different choices in life, an interesting but difficult path. Becoming an actor is a bold attempt of mine..."

Shen Que speaks a little fast, but every word he pronounces is clear, so it's not tiring to listen to.

He spoke a lot, which was rare, and sounded very sincere.

After hearing what Shen Que said, Lin Yang couldn't help but pull Xu Qingye's arm again.

"Sister An An said that Shen Que entered the entertainment industry because of you. Can I ask what the opportunity was?"

Lin Yang lowered his voice. Normally he didn't dare to ask in the company, but now there was an opportunity, and he finally asked the question that he had been holding back for a long time.

"When I was squatting, he stood by and disturbed my filming, so I pulled him to squat next to me. Later, I saw that he was quite handsome, so I complimented him a few words, saying that it was a pity for him to be a star chaser and that he should be a star himself. Then not long after that, I met him at the Film City."

Xu Qingye omitted all the causes and consequences and told the story again. Lin Yang was a little confused. His reason seemed hard to support. Who would make such a decision based on what others said?

"You're not lying to me, are you? It doesn't sound very credible to me."

Lin Yang expressed doubts.

"If you don't believe it, forget it."

Xu Qingye was too lazy to talk to him and continued taking pictures with his camera. The activity didn't last long. After the reporter asked questions, there were some simple interactions.

This kind of activity is mainly aimed at the media, preparing some topics and gimmicks for the early promotion. After the preview, the film reviews from the media and the film viewing group are the second wave of promotion.

Generally, the media attending the previews have been bribed, so they can only say good things to lure the audience in. The evaluation of the first wave of audiences after the movie is officially released is the one that is truly valuable for reference, as their reviews are the most objective and truthful.

After the event, the creators rushed to the next city. Xu Qingye took Lin Yang with them. In fact, they didn’t have to follow them to every show. It was just that Xu Qingye wanted to spend more time with Shen Que.

The Spring Festival period is a battleground for movies, and the competition is fierce every year, so the creators will work hard to promote their films and try their best to get more screenings.

Xu Qingye followed him to several cities and took a lot of photos. He wrote the promotional copy seriously every day. This was Shen Que's first movie, and Xu Qingye was not sure whether he would win the Best Newcomer Award for him as in the original novel.

The Newcomer Award is a once-in-a-lifetime award. If you miss it, you will never get it again. It would be a pity if you don't get it.

Xu Qingye was hoping that Shen Que's film would be a hit. If Shen Que missed out on the newcomer award because of his intervention, he would definitely feel extremely guilty.

On the day of the premiere, Xu Qingye was extremely nervous. He sent Shen Que a lot of good news, fearing that the show would have a bad reputation after it was broadcast. Shen Que was also a little nervous at first, but after Xu Qingye's words, he calmed down.

"Anyway, it's already like this. Whether it's good or not, it can't be changed. Even if the box office is not ideal, as long as my role is not problematic, it's fine. It's not my turn to carry the box office."

"That's right, you're just a supporting role."

Xu Qingye breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to hug Shen Que.

"See you later."

"Well, I hope my performance won't disappoint you."

Shen Que had never seen the entire movie, so he had no idea what the final effect would be like. Today was also his first time watching it, and he hoped that he would not be disappointed.

The preview invited the media and movie-watching groups. Xu Qingye got a family ticket, and the seat was quite near the front. When he sat over, there was already a man and a woman sitting there. It was unknown whose family members they were, but they looked very nice, especially the woman. Although she looked a bit older, she was well maintained and exuded a mature aura. Xu Qingye couldn't help but look at her twice more. He felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before. When he sat down, he nodded to the two of them as a greeting.

As soon as Xu Qingye sat down, he took out his cell phone and started texting Shen Que, completely unaware that the two people next to him were also looking at him.

"Dawn Breaking" is 120 minutes long and the movie officially begins after a brief opening by the host.

"Breaking Dawn" is a movie with a prototype, and the prototype is the thousands of drug-catching police officers who sacrificed their lives in the pursuit of drugs. The overall plot has a tight rhythm and you will quickly be immersed in the plot.

Shen Que does not have many scenes, which add up to no more than ten minutes, but he performs very well in these ten minutes. From a high-spirited and upright young policeman to a drug dealer whose beliefs collapse, he performs his emotional changes very well, and only uses a few micro-expressions to highlight the struggle of the character.

Xu Cheng, played by Shen Que, is the most tragic character in the whole movie. The movie is called "Dawn", but this character never had his dawn. He was born in the light but slept at dawn. He was just a little bit away from seeing the dawn breaking through the clouds.

Xu Qingye looked at the man lying in a pool of blood and felt relieved. For Xu Cheng in the movie, dying before dawn was his best ending.

If he survives, he will face the judgment from his former teammates, and he will face the crimes he has committed over the years. The things that once tortured him will once again torture him more deeply. Losing his undercover superior means that he will never be able to turn over a new leaf, and he is indeed stuck in the mud.

The movie ended, and it wasn't until the subtitles appeared and the lights in the theater lit up little by little that people reacted. Warm applause began to rang out, and the main creators walked onto the stage to the applause.

Shen Que looks fresh again today. Xu Qingye is very satisfied with his recent looks, which always reach new heights of handsomeness.

"It will be over soon. Go back first and let me have a look at the manuscript before you send it out."

The interaction on stage was very lively, and Xu Qingye turned his head and said something to Lin Yang.

Lin Yang nodded. He was very excited at the moment. Shen Que's performance in the movie was far beyond his expectations. His acting skills had improved a lot compared to "A Summer Named After You". Moreover, this was a very challenging role for Shen Que. Shen Que performed very well and did not feel any sense of dissonance due to the big gap between himself and the role.

Lin Yang had already started thinking about how to write a film review. In addition to praising the film as a whole, he also wanted to write a separate article praising Shen Que. Shen Que was truly worthy of being called a Purple Star. Although he was not an actor by profession, he portrayed the character so vividly.

Compared to Lin Yang's excitement, Xu Qingye seemed much calmer. His initial worries and anxieties had all disappeared at this moment. Shen Que's performance meant he didn't have to worry about not getting the Newcomer Award.

Xu Qingye changed into a comfortable sitting position. The man and woman beside him had left at some point. Xu Qingye glanced at the empty chair and didn't think much about it.

The preview ended, Xu Qingye stood up and walked to the backstage. Lin Yang took a look and ran out quickly. He had to write down all the ideas in his mind quickly, otherwise they would all run away in a moment.

Shen Que sent Xu Qingye the location of the lounge. Xu Qingye also prepared a bouquet of flowers. He walked towards the lounge with the flowers, ready to congratulate Shen Que on the success of his first movie.

He just stood in the cinema for a while, listening to the comments from the media and the film-going group. As expected, Shen Que's name appeared very high in the ratings, and they almost all praised Shen Que.

Xu Qingye was listening there, with the corners of his mouth unable to suppress a smile. He was happier to hear others praising Shen Que than to hear them praising himself.

Pushing open the door of the lounge, Xu Qingye was about to call Shen Que, but he was stunned when he saw the situation inside. Not only Shen Que was in the lounge, but also the man and woman who had just sat next to him were there. At this moment, the beautiful woman was hugging Shen Que tightly, and there were several lip marks on Shen Que's face.

Shen Que's eyes met Xu Qingye's. He quickly broke free from the woman's embrace and quickly grabbed the hand of Xu Qingye who was about to run away.

The woman was suddenly pushed away and was a little confused. When she turned around and saw Xu Qingye, she immediately smiled brightly again, walked forward and reached out to hold Xu Qingye's other hand.
