Chapter 153 Xu Qingye woke up early...

It was rare for Xu Qingye to wake up early. He turned on his computer and looked at various data on the Internet, mainly to monitor Shen Que's various data and popularity.

The popularity of movie actors is not as high as that of TV actors. Shen Que has few works and he doesn't usually participate in variety shows. His comprehensive data is still far behind his traffic.

While Xu Qingye was thinking about it, Zhao Wen called.

"My agent has found one for me. When are you free for an interview?"

Xu Qingye asked Zhao Wen to help introduce a broker, as he was so busy these days that he almost forgot about it.

"I'm an outsider. If you think I'm capable, then I'm fine. There's no need for an interview. I'm just doing a small job. Just come to work. I sent you the artist's information last time. Just forward it to the other party so that they can get familiar with me."

"Okay, then I'll let him go. Where's Shen Que? Are you guys together? I sent him the schedule, remind him to check it."

"Okay, I'll talk to him."

Xu Qingye hung up the phone and looked in the direction of the bed. Shen Que had woken up and was sitting in a daze. When he noticed Xu Qingye's gaze, he raised his hand and waved to him. Then he seemed to be turned on and picked up his clothes and put on them.

"Well, why did you get up so early? Aren't you sleepy?"

Shen Que walked over with his long legs and took a look at Xu Qingye's computer screen. He felt a headache looking at the densely packed data. Liberal arts students couldn't stand looking at these numbers.

"I got up to use the restroom and then couldn't fall asleep again, so I just got up."

"Sister Wen sent you the itinerary, remember to check it out."

Xu Qingye reminded Shen Que that he had to go to the crew of "The Strange Cases" in a few days to take promotional photos for them. The time had been set long ago and the studio had also been booked. Xu Qingye estimated that he would have to go back to the crew with Shen Que.

Various award ceremonies will take place after the New Year, so we can take a few days off during the New Year.

Xu Qingye was calculating the time in his mind, thinking that Shen Que would most likely join the group again after the new year.

"Has your company arranged for you to star in any new movies?"

"It seems that there is a movie that the company values ​​very much, but because it is an ensemble drama, I don't have many roles. I haven't discussed other things yet. For now, if I like the company's resources, I will have priority in choosing them."

Although Shen Que has few works, his record is strong. Glory Pictures still values ​​him very much, so Shen Que is given priority in selecting many resources.

"Is that so? Then we'll start by filming Director Tang Huang's movie. After we finalize the contract in a couple of days, we can roughly discuss a start date."

Thinking of this, Xu Qingye called Yihe again. The investment company was opened together with Yihe, so if there were any major projects, he had to go through the procedures to notify him.

Yi He was sleeping and was a little grumpy after being woken up so early in the morning.

"Xu Qingye, you have changed your personality. You are talking to me about work so early in the morning. You can handle it yourself. I don't understand it. Just tell me how much to pay."

Yi He glanced at the time and scratched his head in annoyance. Why did Xu Qingye start to become introverted?

After hanging up the phone, Yi He wanted to take a nap, but his mind was filled with Xu Qingye working diligently. He immediately lost all sleepiness, got up quickly, washed up, and went to the studio.

Xu Qingye stayed in the crew for a few days. He directly invited Tang Huang to the crew as well, and also called Ji Zeming over. Ji Zeming had gone for an audition for a role a few days ago and was really accepted. When he heard that Xu Qingye was going to introduce another movie to him, he immediately packed up and came.

Arriving at the crew and seeing a large group of people, he became a little nervous.

There weren't actually that many people at the beginning. Tang Huang took a look around the crew and took his eyes off several extras, and asked them to interview one by one. Shen Qing also wanted to join in after she was done with her work, so it became a large audition scene.

"That's enough. Everyone else is busy. Don't delay the crew's progress."

Xu Qingye couldn't stand it anymore and quickly stopped them. The lunch break was only a short time and people shouldn't be allowed to rest.

"Okay then, come find me when you're done."

Tang Huang talked to a few actors and exchanged contact information with each other. He was still reluctant to leave. When he returned to his seat and sat down, he looked up and saw Ji Zeming, and his eyes lit up again.

Ji Zeming has a feminine appearance, which is quite suitable for his role.

"Is this also someone from your garrison?"

Tang Huang thinks Xu Qingye can be a casting director, and the people he has selected are so suitable.

"You should pay this normally."

Xu Qingye was really afraid that he would say something like since he had hired someone, he wouldn't pay them.

"Yes, yes, yes. I will give it to you. I think he's good. When we have a formal audition, I will use the person you put in my name. But if his acting is too bad, I won't bother you how to use him."

Tang Huang may seem unruly, but he is actually very shrewd. He has invested almost all of his fortune in this movie, so he naturally cannot be easily controlled by capital.

"It's up to you. Sign the contract and I'll pay you in a few days."

Xu Qingye handed the contract to Tang Huang. The final investment amount was 20 million. Once this money was paid, there was not much money left in the company's account. Several projects invested recently have not started to pay off, but after the New Year, their pockets will be full again.

"You trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I'll take the money and run away?"

Tang Huang signed his name and couldn't help but look at Xu Qingye. He thought Xu Qingye was joking with him at first. He looked young and had a good appearance, and looked like a rich second-generation.

The second generation of rich people often come from wealthy families but have no money themselves. Unexpectedly, someone would invest 20 million in him in one go.

"Your storyboards were drawn so carefully, and the scripts were revised so many times. If you rely on these things to cheat people out of money, then I can only say that you are wasting your talent. I was cheated of nothing but money, but you are different. You gave up your ideals. Although the word ideal sounds a bit hypocritical, many people take it very seriously. Compared to money, ideals should be more important to you."

Xu Qingye picked up the storyboard book beside him. Although it was not complete, one could see Tang Huang's intentions. Tang Huang had a background in art, and the storyboards were very beautifully drawn. It was obvious that a lot of effort had been put into it.

Most people in the circle who want to make money just go for it with an incomplete outline, and no one will prepare so seriously.

"I don't know what to say to you, kid."

Tang Huang shook his head. Xu Qingye still retained a great deal of innocence and he still believed in his ideals in his heart.

Well, this circle also needs some pure people.

After signing the contract, Tang Huang did not leave in a hurry, but stayed in the crew with Xu Qingye to watch Shen Que filming. After he went back that day, he searched for Shen Que's information and was shocked after the search.

His first TV series won him the Best Actor award, and his first movie was nominated for Best Actor at a foreign film festival. It also did well at the box office after being broadcast in China.

Tang Huang went to the cinema specially to watch "Nightfall", which is the most challenging art film for actors. Seeing the state of Shen Que, who was in his thirties, he immediately felt at ease.

Tang Huang was very glad that he had approached Xu Qingye. He had money and actors, and he was like a great man to him.

"Hey, you two have a special relationship, right?"

Tang Huang took a sip of his drink and suddenly tugged at Xu Qingye's sleeve.

"What do you mean?"

Xu Qingye did not admit it directly, but looked at Tang Huang with interest. The time they had been in contact was very short. How could Tang Huang feel something was wrong? He would have to change it in the future.

"He listens to you too much. After all, he is the TV King and the future Movie King. He has a good company and good acting skills. He will definitely choose any script. But when you asked him to come to me, he didn't hesitate at all. If there is no problem between you two, I will write my name backwards."

"Well, I planned everything for him, including his entry into the entertainment industry, signing with a company, and filming movies. I'm also his biggest fan, so he listens to me a lot. Besides, your script is the most important thing."

Xu Qingye looked at Tang Huang with a smile and breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, your relationship should be closer. Even if you are business partners, you won't be so obedient to me. And I said it early on that you two have very similar temperaments. I think you are at least living together. Some things will only affect each other if you stay together for a long time."

Tang Huang shook his head firmly, then squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Qingye.

"You can tell fortunes, can you tell that?"

Xu Qingye looked at Tang Huang in disbelief. Tang Huang was so sloppy that he looked like a hermit.

"I don't know shit. I'm just good at observation. People who stay together for a long time will become more and more alike because their lives are in sync, their joys and sorrows are synchronized, and their unrelated tendencies will also tend to be the same. Add to that the exchange of saliva and the invasion of genes, and slowly the so-called husband and wife look is formed. You have the husband and husband look."

Tang Huang waved his hands and spouted out a bunch of twisted ideas. Xu Qingye smiled awkwardly. He was really right.

"You should drink more water."

"You want to shut me up, right? I won't say anything. When the funds arrive, I will set up the crew first. Don't look at me like this. I have some connections in the circle. The crew will definitely not be shabby. It will have everything it should have, and the staffing will be well allocated. We will try our best not to let you owe anything."

Tang Huang felt a little guilty. He believed that he could make a good movie, but he was not sure whether it would be a box office hit. The ideal situation would be for a movie to be both a box office hit and a good seller, but most of the time, you couldn't have both.

"It's okay. With Shen Que here, we won't lose money. He'll take care of the box office."

The box office of "As Night Comes" is much better than expected, it is almost 200 million, and the final box office is expected to be around 300 million. For a low-budget movie like "As Night Comes", it is already a huge profit.

"I hope so. I hope my dream can continue and this won't be my only attempt. It's too difficult for ordinary people to become a director."

Tang Huang sighed. From the day he wanted to be a director, he had put in countless efforts for it. Being admitted to a film academy was the first step, but he found that it was too difficult for an ordinary family to become a director. Connections, resources, and money were all problems. He worked in the crew for a long time before saving a little money, but this little money might not last a day for a movie. The only good luck was probably that the house was still worth some money, which could bring a glimmer of hope to his dream.

Tang Huang thought that if he failed this time, he would really have to face reality and become an ordinary person. If he succeeded, he would have to work hard to continue working in this industry.

Tang Huang turned his head to look at Xu Qingye. Xu Qingye was looking at Shen Que intently, with admiration and joy in his eyes almost overflowing.

With the joining of Xu Qingye and Shen Que, his dream will not stop here.
