Chapter 127: Gua Shaqing was stopped...

Being blocked, Fang Zhiyang felt a little unhappy. He glanced at Xu Qingye. Xu Qingye had a very gentle appearance and looked like a good person. He was looking at him with a smile. Fang Zhiyang couldn't get angry and his attitude subconsciously softened a lot.

"Not interested, not signing with the company."

Fang Zhiyang has met many scouts, many of whom painted a lot of rosy pictures for him. However, after getting to know them in depth, he found that it was not as rosy as they said. All the contracts were full of traps, and some were even so blatant that all the music works released after signing the contract would belong to the company. In other words, the songs he worked so hard to write did not belong to him in the end. How could such a thing happen in this world?

"You misunderstood. I'm not a talent scout or an agent. I just think you sing very well and are suitable for releasing an album. I hope I'll have the opportunity to buy your album in the future."

Xu Qingye shook his head at the other party's indifferent expression. According to the original novel, Fang Zhiyang would participate in a music variety show in two years, win the championship on that show, and from then on almost monopolize the OSTs of most TV series.

Fang Zhiyang probably didn't expect to hear such an answer. He was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say.

"Thank you."

Fang Zhiyang shook his head and thanked Xu Qingye. Xu Qingye waved to him and left with a group of people.

Fang Zhiyang's friend looked in the direction Xu Qingye left and muttered something.

"What a weird guy."

***

Shen Que remained quiet until they returned home. Xu Qingye closed the door and prepared to celebrate sweetly with Shen Que. But when he turned around, he saw that Shen Que had a gloomy face and seemed a little unhappy.

"What's wrong with you? You haven't said a word since just now."

Xu Qingye reached out and grabbed Shen Que's arm, trying to pull him in, but Shen Que seemed to be fixed in place and did not move.

"What's the matter?"

Xu Qingye didn't know what he had done wrong again. He stared at Shen Que with an innocent look on his face.

"You seem to be particularly admirable."

"Ah? Are you talking about Fang Zhiyang?"

"I even remembered the name. It seems like you really like it."

Shen Que looked at Xu Qingye. He didn't even hear the other person's name clearly, but Xu Qingye remembered it clearly.

"You're not jealous, are you? He sings really well." Xu Qingye chuckled and couldn't help but continue teasing him. It was really rare to see Shen Que like this.

"It's my fault that you can't sing. This is the first time I know you like singing."

"I follow so many boy bands, can't you see that I like those who can sing? I thought you knew it a long time ago. However, those who can sing are not as good as those who can call me brother. If you don't believe me, try calling me brother twice."

Xu Qingye hooked his arms around Shen Que's neck, almost hanging on him. Shen Que looked so jealous that it was really adorable. Xu Qingye rubbed him with the tip of his nose.

Shen Que stretched out his hands and hooked Xu Qingye's legs, then lifted him up. Xu Qingye instinctively wrapped his legs around Shen Que's waist and was lifted up.

"I prefer to be called brother rather than called brother."

The door was hastily closed, locking out the beauty in the room, while the internet was still abuzz with excitement about tonight's award ceremony.

Zhang Jian was unexpectedly eliminated. He Miao, who was originally the favorite to win the award, posted several Weibo posts in a row. At first, everyone felt sorry for him for being a runner-up again, but after he posted so many posts, people started to think that he was a bit petty.

He Miao was being treacherous in both open and covert ways, saying that he was just lucky and even hinting that the Golden Bull Awards deliberately gave the award to such a small-budget movie for the sake of good reputation.

Originally he wanted to vent some sympathy on Weibo, but posting too much had the opposite effect, and the people who originally felt sorry for him no longer bought into his message.

In addition, various awards tonight were also discussed. Shen Que’s account updated the photo of himself receiving the award and @Shen Mu’s brand account. The account, which originally had few followers, suddenly gained hundreds of thousands of fans. The customer service who managed the account was shocked. After searching, they found out what happened and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s just that the store suddenly received more orders, and their workload increased immediately.

After attending the award ceremony, Shen Que immediately returned to the crew. "Nightfall" was about to be completed. After the completion of the filming, Shen Que almost seamlessly joined the crew of "Infernal Affairs". After filming two movies this year, Shen Que only had some work left, such as commercial shooting and magazine shooting.

There is a TV series that will be filmed after the new year. The film industry is noble, but its ability to attract fans is not as good as that of TV series. Therefore, in Zhao Wen's plan, movies are the main focus and TV series are secondary. Shen Que is still young and needs to work hard. The main thing is that the film industry is so small, and there are not many opportunities that can fall into Shen Que's hands. He can't just sit at home and wait for job opportunities.

Assistant Xu continued to work. Shen Que actually didn't have much to do here. What he usually did was to sit next to the director and watch the surveillance footage.

Xu Qingye is already very familiar with the director. There are not many female directors in the circle, and the few who have made it have very good representative works.

The director of "Nightfall", Sang Zhen, is nearly fifty years old this year. She has been in the industry for more than ten years and has made many films. Her works are presented from a unique female perspective and are particularly delicate and moving.

There are a lot of female staff members in the crew of "Nightfall". Xu Qingye once curiously asked Sang Zhen why her crew was configured like this.

"The crew is a place with clear hierarchy. Women are always placed at the bottom. There are too many rules targeting us. We can't sit on the camera box, we can't do this, we can't do that. They are all targeting women. What have women done to them? They bully us like this. I never wanted to be a director before, but I couldn't swallow this breath. I want to show those people that the movies made by women are no worse than theirs, and women are not bad in any field. So my team is basically made up of female employees. After so many years, how are we inferior to others? I have won so many awards in these years that my room is almost full. The same is true for others. More or less, we have won awards in our fields. We have proved ourselves with our strength."

Sang Zhen was extremely proud when she said this. It was very difficult for her to enter this industry. In the early days, she faced severe discrimination. When she heard that the director was a female and her investment was withdrawn, the actors refused to perform. So she borrowed money from everywhere and asked for help from others, and found amateur actors to shoot her first movie.

In short, it is a sad history. Now that women's power has risen, there will no longer be those difficulties, but she has come through that era, so she is more willing to provide job opportunities for women.

On the day of wrapping, it was drizzling and the atmosphere was a bit sad. Liu Xiao and Shen Que finished filming the last scene.

After much effort, the two of them finally understood everything about Pei Jiacheng. Pei Jiacheng was a complicated person. Before the lie was exposed, he was a good person to them.

Unfortunately, lies cannot last forever.

Finally, the two stood in front of Pei Jiacheng's tombstone, and Chen Zhirang looked at the photo on the tombstone and pondered for a long time.

Both of them were silent, and the rain gradually stopped. Wenhua turned around and looked at Chen Zhirang. Chen Zhirang was a poor man. He was deceived by Pei Jiacheng at a very young age. He did not have the time to have a clear understanding of this world. Now he is not too old and has plenty of time to be himself.

Wenhua encouraged him to go out for a walk, relax and think about his life. These years he was like a little bird raised by the Pei family. He took care of him and treated him well, but he also tied him in a cage and broke his wings.

Chen Zhirang looked at the sky. It was clearing up after the rain, and tomorrow would be a bright day.

Chen Zhirang nodded. He had a rough idea in his mind, and said goodbye to Wenhua. The two of them walked away, one on the left and one on the right, and their intertwined destinies returned to their respective tracks.

Two people who would never have met each other met briefly, comforted each other and started their lives again. The person who connected them together has also gone with the wind, and the grudges, love and hate have all been buried with him. Although the answers are sad, they have been obtained.

In the last shot, a rainbow suddenly appeared in the sky. Sang Zhen was quite excited. This was simply a gift from God to them.

"It's done!"

Someone shouted happily, and everyone in the crew got busy. The completion was a phased victory, and there was still a lot of work to be done. After organizing everyone to take a group photo and distributing red envelopes for the completion, it was time for free activities.

During the filming, the crew had a lot of rules, and the staff were not allowed to chat with the artists casually. After the filming was completed, these small restrictions were gone. Many people took photos with the leading actors as a souvenir. After being together for a long time, everyone had some feelings for each other, so it was hard to part.

Xu Qingye was Shen Que's exclusive photographer, so he was naturally busy taking photos of him and everyone. While he was taking photos, someone suddenly called him.

"Xiao Ye, you should come and shoot with us, come quickly, you have been busy for so long."

The one who called him was screenwriter Teacher Hu. Teacher Hu was also an excellent female screenwriter. She had a very sharp observation ability and she had figured out the relationship between Xu Qingye and Shen Que very early on.

“I don’t need to take pictures.”

"Yes, come here quickly. Akang, come and help us take the photos."

Teacher Hu called someone over, Xu Qingye handed the camera to the other person and ran over in small steps.

Xu Qingye was originally standing at the side, but Teacher Hu pulled him over and made him stand next to Shen Que.

After taking photos with the staff, Xu Qingye took two more photos with Shen Que. Teacher Hu stood by and instructed them on the movements. She looked like she was enjoying it.

“I’m on it again.”

Liu Xiao walked over to Teacher Hu and looked at the two people taking pictures not far away with an envious look.

"Yes, they are a perfect match, but I don't know how long they can last. I have seen too many couples who were passionate in love at the beginning but ended up breaking up tragically. This circle is too realistic."

Teacher Hu nodded, but was a little worried. Fame and fortune are fascinating, and the love between a celebrity and an ordinary person is not so easy to maintain. He didn't mean to say that Xu Qingye was bad, but this circle is like this, with many temptations and people's hearts are easily fickle.

They had a wrap-up banquet together, and three months of companionship came to an end. Liu Xiao and Shen Que hugged each other as a farewell.

"Maybe see you at the next film festival."

"Nightfall" is going to go abroad to participate in film festivals first, and then be released in Hong Kong and Bay Area. If everything goes well in China, it will also be released simultaneously. If not, we can only wait and see.

If it can achieve good results at the film festival, the domestic broadcast will also be much smoother.

The specific situation will depend on subsequent developments.

Before joining the crew of "Infernal Affairs", Shen Que took time out to shoot the new season's perfume commercial and joined the crew only after finishing the filming.

Shen Que doesn't have many scenes in "Infernal Affairs", and it will be finished in about a month.

"Infernal Affairs" is a relatively standard business war film, a standard commercial film model. Shen Que's styling does not have any special highlights. The role he plays is a business spy, and he usually dresses like a business elite in a suit.

The suits provided by the crew were of average quality and didn't fit him well, so Xu Qingye went back and got Shen Que's private clothes. Shen Que's own suits were all custom-made, so they fit him perfectly.

The stylist was relieved to see that Shen Que brought his own clothes. The crew's main resources are all for the male and female protagonists, so the clothes for the supporting roles are relatively simple, and there is not much budget. It is best if the actors can bring their own.

After Shen Que finished taking the makeup photos, he ran into Zhuang Qibei as soon as he walked out the door. Zhuang Qibei had also just arrived, and when he saw Shen Que, he walked over to him in a very familiar manner.

"Hello, I'm Zhuang Qibei. I've been signed to Glory Films for quite some time. I didn't expect to meet you after such a long time. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
