Chapter 14 The Fourteenth Melon Industry Chain has pulled the curtains and there is nothing to do...
With the curtains drawn, there was nothing to see, so Xu Qingye looked through the photos he had just taken. When the man walked towards the window, his face was clearly revealed, and Xu Qingye pressed the shutter button just right.
The camera shows a young face, who looks to be no more than 20 years old. Xu Qingye was deeply impressed by this face, not because his songs were so good, but because his name had often appeared on trending searches recently.
Jiang Yining, a singer who is neither cold nor hot, has a love story that is more beautiful than his songs. He just announced his relationship recently. The other party is also a singer. The two have collaborated at an evening party. Their four-hand piano performance was regarded as a good story. After the official announcement, there were various congratulations, which was a rare harmonious scene.
Of course, in Xu Qingye's view, it's just that he's not famous enough. Because he's not famous enough, he's treated leniently, and because he's not famous enough, no one was injured when he officially announced his relationship.
Thanks to the hot search for love, Jiang Yining gained fans at an amazing speed. The new song "Love Announcement" co-produced by the two of them also topped the new song hot list, which can be said to have brought new opportunities to his career.
With both love and career going well, Jiang Yining should be enjoying great success. However, he did not look well just now. His skin was dark and there were dark circles under his eyes. He looked like he was suffering from chronic insomnia.
The woman holding the child was not his officially announced young lover. The woman looked very ordinary. Perhaps because she had been taking care of the child for a long time, she looked very haggard and her figure was seriously out of shape.
Xu Qingye looked through the photos in the camera, most of which were taken by Brother Huang before. There were no intimate scenes of Jiang Yining and the children in all the photos. They were in the same picture, but always very far away from each other. They seemed unfamiliar, yet they were too deliberately keeping a distance.
Judging from the time, Huang Ge has been following the child for three months, which means he started since the child was born. Now the child is bigger in his arms than in the first photo.
Jiang Yining's relationship was photographed in the past three months, and the official announcement was made last month. If the child is Jiang Yining's, then he is really busy. One woman gave birth to a child for him, and he was sweet and loving with another woman, showing their love, writing new songs, and appearing on several variety shows together.
However, Xu Qingye did not dare to jump to conclusions, after all, reversals happen from time to time in the entertainment industry.
Brother Huang slept until the afternoon. When he woke up, he first glanced at Xu Qingye. Seeing that he was still in the room, he was quite satisfied. He walked over, picked up the camera and looked through the photos. There were not many photos taken by Xu Qingye, but they were still useful.
"It must be boring to be squatting for an afternoon."
Brother Huang put away his equipment and chatted with Xu Qingye. Xu Qingye had been in the industry for a year, and he had been the one who basically coached him. However, Brother Huang looked down on Xu Qingye. Xu Qingye looked too good-looking and didn't seem like someone who would mix in their circle. He looked more like an artist. Brother Huang didn't want to pay much attention to him at first, thinking that he would probably not be able to work there for long and would have to leave. Unexpectedly, he was the only one among the last few interns to stay.
Xu Qingye is a man with secrets, otherwise he wouldn't be doing this job. Brother Huang is not interested in his secrets, but he does take good care of him.
"It's okay, but I can't see anything clearly with the curtains drawn. Brother Huang has been following him for quite a long time, right? Is he a illegitimate child?" Xu Qingye looked at Brother Huang and asked humbly. If he could speak by looking at the picture, then he must be a illegitimate child. But if he was a illegitimate child, there seemed to be no need for him to follow him for so long.
"Almost. But more complicated."
Brother Huang took out a cigarette and wanted to smoke it, but he looked at Xu Qingye and put it back. Xu Qingye was a delicate person who couldn't stand the smell of smoke. Despite his young age, he had a lot of bad habits.
"The child is Jiang Yining and Xu Jiayi's, but it didn't come out of Xu Jiayi's belly. Do you understand?"
Brother Huang simply said that Xu Jiayi was the lover that Jiang Yining had just officially announced.
“You mean they use surrogacy?”
Xu Qingye was a little surprised, thinking it was just a cliché of a cheating scumbag, but he didn't expect it to be a legal column.
There are quite a few people in the current entertainment industry who engage in surrogacy. People do not have a deep understanding of surrogacy because many foreign countries have a very open attitude towards surrogacy. As a result, many people believe that surrogacy is not illegal and anyone can do it as long as they have money.
But in fact, surrogacy is expressly prohibited in the country, and celebrities are public figures, so they should not lead by example.
"This news doesn't make money, so I'll give it to you. Don't you want to be independent? Independence is not an easy thing."
Brother Huang reached out and patted Xu Qingye on the shoulder.
Not making money means exposing the news. The exposed news is naturally worthless. Valuable news will never be known to anyone. Before appearing in the public eye, the news has already been bought by relevant people.
"Remember, words are not enough. This matter is still lacking some key evidence."
"I understand. Thank you, Brother Huang."
Xu Qingye thanked Brother Huang sincerely, but Brother Huang seemed a little nonchalant.
"Stop talking nonsense. I still have a lot of concert tickets that I haven't sold yet. Please forward this message to me and try to sell them all. I believed in that kid Meng Qi's evil ways and got a bunch of tickets for that girl group concert. They're not selling well at all."
Brother Huang has many part-time jobs, and scalper is one of them. However, he bet on the wrong horse this time and lost a lot of tickets.
"Brother Huang, buy some tickets for Jiang Boqi's concert. You'll definitely make money."
"You are making fun of me, right? Jiang Boqi's ticket is not that easy to get. If you can get it, why are you talking nonsense here?"
Brother Huang glared at Xu Qingye. None of these people were reliable. Either they had poor vision or they were just talking nonsense.
"I'll get you something, just leave it to me."
Xu Qingye and Brother Huang made a promise, and Brother Huang snorted, not knowing whether he believed it or not.
Brother Huang gave a lot of information about Jiang Yining, which could be further explored. Xu Qingye wrote it down one by one, invited Brother Huang to dinner, and then returned home.
As soon as the door was opened, the laughter of Shen Mu and Xiao Xiao could be heard from the room. The two were simply going crazy today. They had met with their idol and discussed cooperation with his agency, and also met many other actors on the crew. They were so excited that they would not be able to calm down for a while.
"Brother Xiaoye, you are back. Come and sit down."
When Shen Mu saw Xu Qingye, she immediately ran over, took his hand and pulled him to the sofa. She now admired Xu Qingye very much. If it weren't for Xu Qingye, how could she have such a wonderful day.
"What's wrong with you? You didn't treat me like this yesterday. Where's your brother?"
Xu Qingye was a little flattered. This girl changed her expression so quickly.
"My brother is in the room. If you are tired, go back and rest. We will play for a while."
Shen Mu pointed in the direction of Xu Qingye's room, waved to Xu Qingye, and then continued to giggle with Xiao Xiao. Xu Qingye really couldn't understand the girls' fun, so he simply stayed away.
In the room, Shen Que was watching a movie with headphones on, with a notebook filled with notes next to him. Xu Qingye walked over and Shen Que took off his headphones.
"I'm back."
Shen Que greeted him and Xu Qingye responded. He looked at the notebook in Shen Que's hand, and before Xu Qingye could speak, Shen Que immediately handed it over.
The notebook contains Shen Que's film review and some character biographies written according to his own understanding.
Xu Qingye read it carefully. Shen Que grasped the essence of the character very accurately. The basic description was accurate, and he added a lot of his own understanding. The content of the notes was very vivid. The more Xu Qingye read, the more surprised he was. He could only say that he was worthy of being the male lead.
Although he was excited, Xu Qingye did not show any emotion on his face. He just naturally returned the notebook to Shen Que and sat down beside him.
Brother Huang gave him a lot of information, and he had to organize it carefully. He also needed to investigate about Jiang Yining.
Jiang Yining is 35 years old this year. He is considered to have achieved good results among the younger generation of singers. He has his own famous songs and his commercial value is not bad. Although he is not a big star, it is enough for him to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry.
Objectively speaking, Jiang Yining can be considered a successful person with both career and love life.
Xu Qingye searched for Jiang Yining's information. Jiang Yining was born in a poor family. His father was seriously ill and his mother remarried. He lived with his grandparents since he was a child.
Jiang Yining has a good voice. He debuted as the runner-up in a singing competition. He has been working hard in the entertainment industry since then. It can be said that he has made a comeback over the years.
There didn't seem to be any problem with his information, but after Xu Qingye looked at it carefully, he still found something wrong. Three years ago, Jiang Yining suddenly bought a large number of properties. In addition to buying houses for himself, he also bought several houses for his relatives. But it was obvious that this was a little beyond his consumption level.
Jiang Yining continued to spend money lavishly for a while afterwards, and Xu Qingye discovered that this was the time when he and Xu Jiayi met.
Xu Qingye immediately circled Xu Jiayi's name. It seemed that Xu Jiayi was the key person in this matter.
There is very little information about Xu Jiayi, and what can be dug out is limited, but there are still some clues. Xu Qingye found a post on the Haijiao forum, which vaguely mentioned that Xu Jiayi became famous through some dishonorable means, and also mentioned that her family was engaged in some gray industries.
The more Xu Qingye watched, the colder his back became. This matter was far from as simple as he had imagined. It was very likely that Xu Jiayi and Jiang Yining were not just doing surrogacy. They might actually be involved in the surrogacy industry chain.
Xu Qingye is just a paparazzi. He could have stopped now if things had developed to this point. If he continued digging, it would no longer be just entertainment news.
"Depend on."
Xu Qingye hammered the table, Shen Cheng immediately turned his head to look at him, Xu Qingye shook his head and continued to search for clues.
From that day on, Xu Qingye always went out early in the morning and came back very late. Sometimes he didn't even go home for several days.
An old post on the Haijiao forum was suddenly pushed to the top, and a large number of marketing accounts on the Internet began to forward it.
Gossip Girl: Recently, everything is about the sweet daily life of Xu Jiayi and Jiang Yining's love. Has everyone forgotten her past? [Photo]
Xu Jiayi has a lot of negative news, including plagiarism, fake academic qualifications, etc. These news have been exposed before, but due to the lack of information, they did not cause much impact. Xu Jiayi is still thriving in the circle with her image as a musical talent.
