Chapter 146: The 146th Melon 8000 Nutrient Solution plus more...
Shen Que wanted to shoot a night shoot, but Xu Qingye did not go with him. He stayed in the hotel and took out his notebook from his suitcase and started looking through it.
The notebook records some gossip and celebrities from the original book that he remembered. Most of the content matches, with only a small part having some deviations due to changes in the timeline.
Xu Qingye looked at the timeline, searching for possible news that might have happened recently.
Most of the gossips in my memory are about love, and the more extreme ones are just about dating seven or eight men and women at the same time.
In addition, there are several legal figures who indulge in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. The problem is that these people are not big names, and even if they are exposed, they don’t seem to be eye-catching enough. The only one who has some popularity is just a second-tier actor.
Xu Qingye was thinking about his new year's work plan and turned to the front page again.
At the front is a list of actors he wrote who are about to become popular. Some of them have already made their mark, while some have not yet. The first name he wrote was Shen Que. Now, in just over three years, Shen Que's development is faster than he expected.
Xu Qingye picked up a pen and wrote an S+ after Shen Que's name.
The names below Shen Que have not been encountered yet. They were originally supposed to be Shen Que's co-actors, but now that the timeline has been advanced, these people have not appeared yet.
In the original novel, Shen Que's award-winning film "Song of Time" employed many newcomers. At first, almost no one was optimistic about this film, thinking that the director was too risky and letting a group of newcomers carry the box office was no different from throwing money away.
In the end, the film's revenue was not ideal, but it did make a small profit. More importantly, it won a foreign film award, adding a highlight to the director's resume.
Several actors who came out of "Song of Time" developed smoothly and became leaders of the younger generation. Shen Que, as the male lead, also established his position in the film industry.
According to the schedule, "Song of Time" should start auditioning next year, but I don't know if Shen Que, who has achieved such great success, can still be the director's choice.
Xu Qingye's thoughts flew far away when the phone rang, interrupting his thoughts. Xu Qingye put the notebook aside, walked to the window and answered the phone.
The call was from Dai Qingyue, who had recently gone back to Country M to take care of some matters. He called Xu Qingye as soon as he came back.
"Uncle Dai."
Xu Qingye called out, and Dai Qingyue on the other end seemed to be in a very happy mood. He responded immediately when he heard Xu Qingye calling him.
"Are you busy? Did I disturb you?"
"I'm not busy. I don't want to go out. I'm staying in the hotel. Shen Que has a big night shoot tonight and I don't know what time he will be back."
Xu Qingye looked at the time. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, so he could still take a nap.
"I recently bought back the old house that I had sold before, renovated it, and plan to move in soon. I would like to invite you to stay with me. You are my only good friend here."
The Dai family had a problem before and had to sell almost all of their domestic businesses. They have slowed down in recent years and are thinking about developing in the domestic market again.
What Dai Qingyue longed for most was the old house where he grew up. After haggling with the other party for a long time, the other party finally agreed to sell it. As soon as the formalities were completed here, he couldn't wait to move back.
"Congratulations, Uncle Dai. I will definitely be your visit then."
Xu Qingye congratulated him. Dai Qingyue had mentioned some family matters to him before, so he understood the significance of this old house to Dai Qingyue.
"Oh, by the way, I'll take you to an exhibition later. Send me the address and I'll pick you up then."
"Okay, please take over, uncle. By the way, the crew asked me to take a set of promotional photos. I have roughly made a plan. Can you give me some advice? This is my first time to take on such a formal and commercial shoot. I am actually quite nervous."
Xu Qingye accepted the job from the crew, but the filming has not started yet. Although the crew is interested in his popularity and popularity, the photos he takes cannot be too bad, at least they have to be at the same level as the two crews currently filming.
Moreover, promotional photos are different from portraits, and he wants to take photos with more storytelling elements.
Xu Qingye hung up the phone and sent the plan he made to Dai Qingyue. The two talked about the plan for more than an hour, and Xu Qingye revised it many times.
Dai Qingyue's suggestions are very professional and pertinent. Dai Qingyue's photos follow a commercial model. He never claims to be an artist. He just uses his hobby to make money.
I had another meeting with Yi He in the afternoon. Yi He felt that love gossip was actually the most popular. Xu Qingye didn't need to feel bored at all. If he could dig up the love stories of a few popular young actors and actresses, it would definitely become the most popular thing in the new year.
Xu Qingye flipped through the script and found a story about cheating and polyamory. The male lead was an idol who debuted through a talent show and had some hit dramas recently, so he had quite a bit of traffic, so he chose him.
Xu Qingye looked at the time and decided to wait for a few days to watch the melons. His timeline was a bit messy, but as long as one finds the right person, there will always be a chance. After all, people's personalities will not change. Maybe the love affair he filmed was not the one mentioned in the original book, but there will always be a love affair.
After working for an afternoon, Xu Qingye printed out the plan and went back to the crew.
The salary negotiated with the crew was 100,000 yuan, so Xu Qingye took this job very seriously. The person in charge was stunned when he took over the plan.
He thought Xu Qingye just needed to find someone to take pictures with when he had time, just like he did with Shen Que and Shen Qing.
As a result, Xu Qingye prepared the plan very seriously, which made them feel a little embarrassed.
"Mr. Ono, you've made it so formal."
The person in charge didn't know much about it, but he could still figure out something from looking at a dozen plans, so he quickly contacted the crew's photography teacher to come over.
The story of "The Strange Cases" takes place in the underworld, but the characters also involve the court, so Xu Qingye wants to show the contradiction and integration of the two. He wants to film the cunningness of the underworld and the turmoil of the court, so he needs the cooperation of the actors.
Although he could just shoot casually, Xu Qingye wanted to be responsible for his work.
The photographer came over and had a chat with Xu Qingye, and they basically finalized the plan. Originally, they thought it would be a casual shoot, as long as they found a time when the actors were free, but now it has become very formal, and they have to issue a notice and set aside a day.
The venue staff arranged the time after receiving the notice, and the person in charge's attitude towards Xu Qingye also changed.
He didn't take Xu Qingye seriously before, thinking that he was just a person who liked to ride on the popularity of Shen Que and acted recklessly because he was Shen Que's friend. Now it seems that it is hard to say who is riding on whom. Xu Qingye has taken many popular photos of Shen Que, and he is also good at creating topics. The "Photos He Shot" series is a very hot topic. Maybe it was not intentional, but it became popular.
Some people have tried to replicate this success, but unfortunately they have all failed.
"Teacher Ono, have you ever considered taking photos of other people? Teacher Shen is already very famous, you can also give other artists some opportunities."
The person in charge looked at Xu Qingye and suddenly started talking about something else.
"Are you talking about opening a website for other artists? I do have that, and maybe you know it if I tell you. I personally run several websites."
Xu Qingye took on quite a few orders, which he later handed over to other people in the company, but he managed the early clients himself.
Xu Qingye randomly reported two IDs, and the person in charge indeed showed a somewhat surprised expression.
"I mean, is it possible that the account "Ge Ye" is chasing other people? Several other accounts are also popular, but the most popular one is still the ID "Ge Ye". "
"From the question you asked, it seems that you don't understand the fan circle at all. You have to change your ID to climb over the wall. All the popularity and fans of this ID are based on Shen Que. If one day I stop following him, I can only quit the circle with a black avatar or stop updating. If I use this ID to support others, I will only be backfired."
Xu Qingye smiled politely. Many people still don’t know enough about the fan circle. The most important thing in the fan circle is loyalty, and the fan circle has its own ecological environment and cannot change some established rules at will.
"I can occasionally take photos of other people, like now, but my account can only post photos of Shen Que. This is my persona, and my persona cannot be changed. My persona is Shen Que's close friends and die-hard fans."
Xu Qingye gave a brief explanation, and the other party seemed a little regretful, so Xu Qingye simply handed him a business card.
"If you need a professional webmaster, please contact me. We are very professional in this area."
"Okay, then I won't bother Mr. Ono anymore."
The person in charge took the business card and smiled at Xu Qingye. Their company also had contracts with some artists, and he was thinking about how to promote his own artists and originally wanted to take advantage of their popularity, but now it seems that it is not so easy.
When Xu Qingye came out, Shen Que was just filming a fight scene. Shen Que was hanging on a wire, looking very powerful. His movements were powerful and not pretentious. His movements in the fight scene were smooth and consistent.
The director shouted "Cut" and Shen Que was let down. Being suspended on wires is not a comfortable thing. Shen Que greeted the opponent actor as soon as he landed. In pursuit of realism, he actually hit the opponent a few times. Although he held back his strength for fear of hurting the opponent.
The actor who plays opposite Shen Que is a child star named Wang Zijia, who is only fourteen years old this year but already looks handsome in the future. The child star's fighting scenes are equally exciting, as he and Shen Que go back and forth with each other and neither of them is at a disadvantage.
"I'm fine, but don't forget that you promised to give me tutoring. I'll come see you tomorrow."
Wang Zijia heard that Shen Que was a graduate of A University, so as soon as he joined the crew, he kept asking him questions, mainly about study. Filming and studying sometimes conflicted with each other. Although studying was the main focus, sometimes he had to ask for leave, so he always fell behind in his studies.
Shen Que is a very patient person and he is always calm when counseling him. Wang Zijia likes him very much and usually shares some snacks with him. The two of them have become friends.
"I can also help with homework. I also graduated from University A, and I am his senior. I will teach you tomorrow."
When he heard about tutoring, Xu Qingye immediately volunteered. Shen Que was already very tired from filming and had to rest more when he had free time, so how could he worry about his child's homework?
"Really?"
Wang Zijia glanced at Xu Qingye with some suspicion. Xu Qingye usually seemed lazy on the set, either lying down or drinking milk tea and eating snacks. He really didn't look like a top student from University A.
"Really, I can definitely understand the homework of junior high school students." Xu Qingye patted his chest confidently. Even if he hadn't studied for a long time, he could at least not be able to understand junior high school questions.
