Chapter 134: The 134th Melon is a bit like Dai Qingyue asking...

After Dai Qingyue asked this question, Xu Qingye's expression became a little subtle.

"I can't say whether I like it or not, I just support domestic films. In fact, we are in the same industry. I run a public account called Xu Ge Talks about Movies. I am an Internet film critic. I came to the film festival this time to collect materials, so I will basically watch some domestic films."

When he goes out, he creates his own identity. Xu Qingye has all kinds of accounts. It's not bragging to mention one at random now. He created the account, but the content was not entirely written by him.

"What a coincidence, you are also a film critic, I will follow you, we can learn from each other."

Hearing Xu Qingye say that he was also a film critic, Dai Qingyue smiled in surprise. He took out his mobile phone and searched, and immediately found Xu Qingye's account.

"Your article is very well written, but it's a bit sharp and could be a little softer. But your entry points are all good."

Dai Qingyue looked at the content of the account and smiled even brighter. Xu Qingye glanced at Shen Que at the side with a guilty conscience. Shen Que's expression remained unchanged, but he held Xu Qingye's hand a little tighter.

"That wasn't all written by me. Some of it was written by my subjects. I was mainly responsible for operations and creative work, and I wrote a little bit occasionally."

Xu Qingye smiled and quickly pushed Shen Que out. All the works were written by Shen Que with great effort. Although they were family, it would not be good for Shen Que to take all the credit.

"That's good. We all have our own strengths and can work together sincerely."

Dai Qingyue glanced at Shen Que and smiled appreciatively, then casually chatted about some recent movies. Shen Que answered fluently and they had a very pleasant chat.

When they arrived at the restaurant, they took off their masks. Dai Qingyue stared at Shen Que for a while and suddenly said, "Hey, you are an actor from "Night Is Coming", right? I didn't recognize you just now, but now you look very familiar. But how come you are so young?"

Dai Qingyue was a little surprised. He watched "Nightfall" yesterday. He was a little surprised to see the subject matter. There are very few movies of this type made in China nowadays. After watching it, he felt very amazed. This is not a homosexual theme movie. Even the proportion of homosexual elements is very small. The whole story is connected by a dead person. Because the most important character is dead, other contradictions are weakened. The tragic background is hidden in it, faint and not strong, but lingering.

The best part of the movie is that the most crucial character Pei Jiacheng never shows up, leaving plenty of suspense. After watching it, I couldn't help but imagine what kind of person he is.

Shen Que's performance in the drama is also very outstanding. Originally, this feeling was not strong, but looking at how young Shen Que is in real life, and recalling his performance in the movie, it is even more amazing.

The character in the movie is probably around 35 or 36 years old, a complex person who has experienced a lot but still retains his innocence.

Although Shen Que looked stunning in the movie, Dai Qingyue never imagined that he was so young in real life.

"Well, because of my age, the director hesitated for a long time before choosing me, which caused a lot of trouble for the makeup artist. She had to spend a lot of time every day to put on makeup for me."

Shen Que nodded and reached out to pour Xu Qingye a glass of water.

"The director really made the right choice. Let's not talk about work anymore, let's order food first. This restaurant has good food. Let's see what you like to eat."

Dai Qingyue asked the two of them to order food. Xu Qingye looked at the menu, selected two dishes he liked, and also selected the dishes Shen Que liked.

"Lamb liver is the specialty of this restaurant, don't you want to try it?"

Dai Qingyue looked at the dishes ordered by Xu Qingye and asked casually.

"I don't eat dirty food, and I don't like mutton." Xu Qingye shook his head. He was not picky about food, but these were the only two things he couldn't accept.

"Our tastes are quite similar. I don't eat mutton or dirty food." Dai Qingyue was a little surprised. He glanced at Xu Qingye and handed the menu to the waiter.

Dai Qingyue is a talkative person and has a lot to talk about with young people.

"It's fate that we meet again. Let's add each other's contact information."

Xu Qingye took out his cell phone and added Dai Qingyue on WeChat. Dai Qingyue’s profile picture was a setting sun, looking a little lonely in the golden desert.

"How long will you stay?"

Dai Qingyue took a look at Xu Qingye’s circle of friends, which were all pictures of him chasing stars and running around. It seemed that he was living a very happy life.

"Let's wait until after the awards ceremony. I hope Shen Que can win an award."

Xu Qingye calculated the days and figured out that he would probably have to stay for four or five more days. The crew of "Nightfall" was already here, so he would just have to do some publicity and attend a red carpet event.

Xu Qingye was not sure whether Shen Que could win the award. Although the crew had made some efforts, it was not easy to win foreign awards.

In the original novel, Shen Que won his first Best Actor award when he was almost 30 years old, about three years later. The timeline of the original novel was moved forward because of Xu Qingye, so Xu Qingye was not sure whether Shen Que could win the award this time.

But even if Shen Que doesn't win the award personally, the whole drama still has a chance of winning, otherwise there would be no need to go through the trouble of participating in the film festival.

This is how art films are promoted: first, win an award to hype it up, then release it in the country and get a good box office. This way, you'll have both good reputation and box office success.

"Shen Que's acting is good, but the Tuya Film Festival is quite prestigious and it's not easy to win an award. If you just want an award, there are many smaller film festivals abroad that offer much better awards."

Dai Qingyue also has a good understanding of the operation of movies. After all, he started out by making movies. Although many years have passed, the basic operation is still the same, especially for films participating in film festivals abroad. The only goal is to win awards and gold medals.

The essence of these films is naturally excellent, but due to reasons such as the subject matter, they are not particularly easy to pass censorship in China, so they need some awards to support them.

"I have also participated in some other film festivals, but they only select those with some reputation. Even if I win an award that has no gold content, I will only be laughed at. The entertainment industry is much more complicated now than before. Even the awards are divided into different levels."

Xu Qingye sighed. If he promoted an obscure award, he could imagine what kind of nonsense those netizens would say. Most of them would say that he had the nerve to brag about winning a minor award.

"The current bad situation is really unfriendly. Back then, any award we won was just an exaggeration."

Dai Qingyue spread his hands helplessly. Times have indeed changed. He never thought that winning an award would become a reason to be ridiculed.

After dinner, Xu Qingye and Dai Qingyue said goodbye as he had his own plans in the afternoon.

The two left, Dai Qingyue called his assistant, and soon a nanny car stopped in front of him.

"Help me check this person Xu Qingye."

Dai Qingyue sat in the car and spoke to his assistant.

"Xu Qingye is the amateur man who was on the hot search list with Ms. Xu Hong before. Ms. Xu Hong's agent has clarified that this Mr. Xu Qingye is Ms. Xu Hong's nephew. In addition, I also found that Mr. Xu Qingye has two companies under his name, a media company and an investment company, and both companies are doing well..."

As soon as Dai Qingyue finished asking the question, the assistant answered directly. Dai Qingyue has always been concerned about Xu Hong's situation so he has been keeping an eye on her. What a coincidence that he had been paying attention to Xu Qingye before, but he didn't expect Dai Qingyue to ask this question. This was a good opportunity for him to show off.

"Nephew?" Dai Qingyue frowned. He took out his mobile phone and searched the news from last time. The photo was blurry and he could barely make out the outlines of the two people. In the photo, Xu Hong's posture was very intimate, but Xu Qingye looked quite resistant.

Just now when he asked Xu Qingye whether he liked Xu Hong, his expression was also very bad. The relationship between him and Xu Hong was definitely not that simple.

"When can I find out his birthday?"

“This will take some time.”

The assistant frowned. At this moment, he wished Xu Qingye had a Baidu Encyclopedia. Unfortunately, he seldom posted his personal information online. There wasn't even a private Weibo account that was clearly his. If he wanted to get specific information, he would need some tricks.

"Well, tell me when you find out."

Dai Qingyue responded and searched Shen Que's name on the Internet. He could find a lot of information about Shen Que. As an artist, he had almost no privacy. Dai Qingyue looked at Shen Que's information and was surprised again.

He won the Best Actor award for his first TV drama, and this time, "The Dark Knight" in which he thought his acting skills were also above average, turned out to be his first movie.

"This kid has something. He's good-looking and well-educated, but he's a little young. I don't know if he can settle down."

Dai Qingyue muttered a few words. Although Xu Qingye was also very outstanding, Shen Que was in the world of fame and fortune, and there was no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women around him. He could not guarantee that his heart would be shaken.

After leaving the restaurant, Xu Qingye took Shen Que to shop in the nearby shops. He bought some small gifts to bring back home as gifts.

"Dai Qingyue, I think you two look alike."

"Ah? Maybe handsome guys are always similar. If I have that kind of temperament when I'm old, I'll definitely be the favorite of the uncle circle."

Xu Qingye touched his face. He used to think that he was just handsome, but after being with Shen Que, he felt that he became more handsome. Perhaps Shen Que's fame had also benefited him.

"Appearance is one aspect, but the main thing is the feeling." Shen Que took the thing from Xu Qingye's hand and thought about it seriously. In fact, the similarity is mainly in the expression, and it is a bit hard to describe it.

"People with the same frequency can chat together. Maybe Uncle Dai and I are just more destined to be together."

Xu Qingye replied casually and picked up a hat and gestured at Shen Que's head.

"Keep your head down."

Shen Que lowered his head and said nothing more. It was fate that we could talk to each other after meeting by chance, and it was not surprising that we had some similarities.

Yi He and Cao Muan arrived at the hotel, and just after a night's rest, Xu Qingye dragged them to work. There were many artists and internet celebrities at the film festival, and there were materials everywhere. Every year, the internet celebrities alone could make enough money from the popularity of the red carpet, not to mention the traffic from the real-time broadcast of the latest news.

Xu Qingye was shooting enthusiastically when he saw a film review of "Nightfall" which made him furious. The reviewer used a lot of insulting language to evaluate Shen Que, saying that he was worthless. Xu Qingye immediately went to Weibo to confront the reviewer!

To offend him is like touching the iron plate, and three thousand navy troops will go to war immediately!
