Chapter 118: The 118th Melon Photo "Talk to him yourself...
"You can talk to him yourself. You had a pleasant chat with him. Whether you are saying goodbye or confessing your love, at least you should say it in person."
Xu Qingye looked at Lin Yang. Shen Que had said that Lin Yang could contact him privately, but Lin Yang had always communicated with Shen Que through him. From this point of view, he was actually quite sensible.
"Thank you."
Lin Yang's eyes were red again, he suddenly understood why Shen Que liked Xu Qingye. Being with Xu Qingye gave him the feeling of being well taken care of. He obviously didn't do anything intentionally, but he just felt at ease. It seemed that no matter what happened, he would always look at you with a smile and comfort you.
After seeing Lin Yang off, Xu Qingye sent a notice in the work group. Everyone was staying at home and had not yet returned to work. When they suddenly saw the news of Lin Yang's resignation, they all popped up.
Cao Muan: Ah, what happened? Why did it happen so suddenly? Didn't you have to learn more and do more before? Why did you leave so suddenly? @林楊.
Xu Qingye: Personal reasons, please stop asking. @Cao Muan.
Cao Muan: Hey, you loved singing, you left before I even heard your singing @林楊, I will miss you.
Lin Yang: Thank you for your care during this time. I am very happy working in the company. Due to some personal reasons, I want to take a break for a while. I will contact you when I am ready.
Lin Yang greeted everyone in the group and didn't say much about his personal choice.
While everyone in the group was reluctantly saying goodbye, Yi He chatted privately with Xu Qingye.
Yi He: Lin Yang wants to resign because of you.
Xu Qingye rolled his eyes when he saw the news. What a big pot, but it seemed to be somewhat related to him.
Although he felt guilty, Xu Qingye felt very justified.
Xu Qingye: How did you come to this conclusion?
Yi He: It’s nothing. I’ve felt that there’s something wrong with this guy for a long time. I’m the loyal defender of your love. He keeps saying Shen Que’s words all the time, which obviously shows that something’s wrong. Did he see you and Shen Que kissing?
Xu Qingye was silent as he read Yi He's message. Did this person have some strange skills, like a crow's mouth? Or was he always able to guess correctly?
Xu Qingye:
Yihe: I understand, hahahaha!

After returning to work, the company held its annual team-building meeting, and a group of people set out happily.
It took a long time for Lin Yang to send a message to Shen Que. It was a long message. Shen Que took a screenshot and showed it to Xu Qingye. Although Lin Yang said a lot, he did not mention his over-the-border love in the whole article. He just expressed his love for Shen Que's character and his recognition of his writings. He wished Shen Que and Xu Qingye happiness and hoped that when they met in the future, he would not be the unsuccessful self he is now.
Xu Qingye did not comment on this. He thought that Lin Yang was experiencing a belated puberty.
Shen Que has already joined the crew. Due to the subject matter, "Nightfall" may not be easy to pass the review in China. The main goal is to win awards. After the filming is completed, it will be released in Hong Kong and Bay Area. However, although the male protagonist is a homosexual, the plot does not mainly focus on this point. As long as good relationships are established, it can be released in China. At most, there will be fewer screenings. As long as it can be released, they are confident in the box office.
With an investment of tens of millions, as long as the box office reaches 200 million, the investment will be recovered. If it is a little more, it will be all profit.
The producer's biggest hesitation about the role of Shen Que was his age, but after thinking for a long time, he decided to use Shen Que. The main reason was that the script set the male lead to be a handsome and slim man. Even though he is no longer young, he still looks handsome and simple.
Older people always lack vitality and innocence, which is why they finally chose Shen Que.
The character needed to be thin and slender, so Shen Que started to lose weight again. This was the worst part about being an actor, as he had to change himself according to the character's image, which was somewhat harmful to the body.
The director chose Shen Que after watching his clips of Su Siheng. In that drama, Shen Que portrayed a slender and fragile image, which was very similar to what he wanted.
Shen Que has grown a little older and his face is more mature than before, which is more in line with his image in the drama, but he is still too young, so he has to rely on makeup techniques to add some age to him.
Shen Que took a selfie for Xu Qingye. It was just after he put on makeup. He felt that the difference was not that big. There were just a few more wrinkles and the skin looked a little worse.
Xu Qingye looked at the photo and seemed to see Shen Que ten years later, a handsome uncle.
Xu Qingye: He is quite handsome. He entered the uncle circle at the age of twenty-something, which saved him twenty years of detours. Not bad.
Xu Qingye praised Shen Que, but his eyes were still a little clearer and calmer, which would be more suitable.
While they were chatting, a message popped up on Xu Qingye's special attention.
[Your special follower Shen Que V updated a Weibo post. 】
Xu Qingye was a little confused as to why Shen Que was posting on Weibo while chatting with him. He clicked on the pop-up window and went to Shen Que's Weibo.
Shen Que: Happy Valentine's Day. [Photo 9]
Xu Qingye glanced at the time. He had forgotten about Valentine's Day. Just looking at the photo, Xu Qingye's expression was very complicated.
Shen Que’s Valentine’s Day photo shoot was somewhat ambiguous. He was wearing a white silk shirt and lying on the bed. His wrists and the white bed sheet were all covered with messy red lines. The soft light and extremely ambiguous atmosphere reminded Shen Que of a certain night!!!
Xu Qingye clicked on the photo and looked at it carefully several times. He liked it!
Shen Que: Do you like the new photos? They are taken completely according to your preferences.
Shen Que sent a new message. Xu Qingye had just saved all the photos. He was going to make a screen saver. This set of pictures was really too erotic and too tempting.
While other male stars are still playing innocent games, the young Shen has created a new path.
This set of photos of Shen Que was very high-end, showing only an ambiguous atmosphere. The only skin exposed was his arms, but just a small part of his arm with a little red was enough to arouse people.
Xu Qingye took a look at the comments and found that everyone was shocked again.
This was the first time that Shen Que took photos in this style. His previous photos either showed youthful vitality, campus male god style, or business suit style.
However, Shen has never taken photos with an ambiguous atmosphere. The previous set of perfume commercials has already shown his sexy side, and this time the photos show all of this sexiness, with the purest desire of a young man.
The studio found a very talented photographer named Chen Yun, who basically only cooperates with A-listers. Shen Que, who holds the title of Best Actor but is actually a newcomer, was not originally within his scope of cooperation.
But Shen Que's face made him reluctant to refuse, and after discussing the style, he finally reached an agreement on the cooperation.
In the beginning, he was a little worried because Shen Que usually acted too serious and like a good kid. But after facing the camera, the aura he displayed conquered Chen Yun at once.
The red string traditionally represents fate, and a thread can tie a couple together, which fits the theme of Valentine's Day very well. The red string theme has been photographed many times, but the love expressed in most works with the same theme is implicit. In this set of photos by Shen Que, the love is undisguised and is an extremely romantic expression.
Shen Que's fans were deeply shocked. The young ones couldn't help but blush when looking at the photos. They felt like someone had confessed their love just by looking at them.
Xu Qingye: Suddenly I feel a little reluctant to show it to others. I used to think I was quite generous, but now it seems that I am still stingy.
Xu Qingye looked at the fans' comments and felt a little jealous. He no longer wanted Shen Que to take any costume-changing photos. He had to keep the good stuff for himself.
Shen Que: It will be hidden tomorrow, Valentine’s Day only.
Xu Qingye: I have already saved all the pictures, so there is no point in hiding them. However, you can secretly show me the unpublished videos.
Shen Que: Well, there is a version just for you.
Shen Que posted a bunch of photos, all of which were taken during this Valentine's Day event. The exposure was a little more revealing than the ones he posted on Weibo. Some of them showed him shirtless, but strangely, after taking off his clothes, he no longer had that seductive feeling, but instead looked purely peaceful, which was in stark contrast to when he was wearing clothes.
Shen Que: The photographer said that wearing clothes shows desire, while taking them off shows pure love. This set of photos is actually a contrast, but I don’t plan to publish this version.
Looking at the explanation sent by Shen Que, Xu Qingye immediately understood the photographer's intention. If he took off his clothes and still took the photos in the same way as when he was wearing clothes, it would have crossed the boundaries of art and become vulgar, but changing it to a purely innocent feeling was a deeper expression.
Xu Qingye: It’s a shame not to publish a set of photo albums. It would be a waste for me alone.
Xu Qingye initially thought it was a real scale, but it turned out to be an art. He was infected by the art, so he wanted everyone to appreciate this kind of art.
It is normal for artists to release photo albums. Some people release one every year. Sales naturally represent popularity. Many female stars like to release photo albums when they first debut.
Shen Que: Photos need to be accompanied by text, which is a bit troublesome. I don’t want to write it.
Xu Qingye: ...I'll write for you, publish it, and enjoy it. I'd be embarrassed to keep all these good things to myself. I'm planning a benefit for all the fans.
Shen Que: Let me think about it.
Shen Que did not agree immediately, mainly because the photos taken this time were not that many. If he needed to publish a photo album, he would have to take several sets of photos, which would require considering the photographer's and his own schedule. It was still quite troublesome, but it was not impossible.
Shen Que and Zhao Wen proposed the photo album, but Zhao Wen unexpectedly agreed immediately. The profit of photo album is actually very high. With a few peripherals added, a set of photos can be sold for three or four hundred yuan. The actual cost is not that much, and it is also a good way for artists to generate income.
Shen Que's photos this time are really great. She blushed when she saw them for the first time. However, she still needs to discuss it with Chen Yun. Taking photos and publishing portraits are different. She needs to talk to Chen Yun about copyright and the issue of additional photos. It probably cannot be completed in a short time, but at least it can be completed by the end of the year, which can be used as a year-end benefit.
Zhao Wen was very proactive and contacted Chen Yun immediately. However, Chen Yun's schedule was very full, so she had to communicate with him in advance to arrange a time.
Shen Que tried makeup, and the director asked him to lose another five kilograms. Shen Que had no choice but to keep trying. There was still some time before the official shooting, and during this period Shen Que's main responsibility was to lose weight. Apart from that, he just listened to the director's explanation of the play.
