Chapter 24: The 24th Extra Request from Xu Qingye to Get Shen Que...

Xu Qingye saw Shen Que’s Weibo, smiled at his simple self-introduction, logged into his main account, and gave him a “like”.

The entertainment industry's top whistleblower has only posted a few Weibo posts, but because he has real gossip, he has a huge number of fans. Every day, people ask him about various gossips, and some take screenshots of other marketing accounts to ask him whether they are true or false.

Xu Qingye has been a bit busy recently and hasn't logged into this account much. He quickly browsed through the posts and picked out a few questions to answer.

Xu Qingye’s answers were all very simple: true, false, not sure, etc.

Suddenly, Xu Qingye's account was turned over on a large scale and became a hot topic again because he answered many questions. However, no one cared about the fact that he liked Shen Que's post.

Xu Qingye’s several accounts all have different responsibilities. The “Breaking News Emperor” is for breaking news, the “Xu Cuihua” is for Instagram, and there are others for pulling people down and causing arguments, etc.

It was obvious that Xu Qingye was unable to run the business alone, so he gave the two accounts to Cao Muan and posted recruitment information. However, it was not easy to recruit suitable people.

Xu Qingye looked at the information of all the accounts and browsed around the major gossip groups. He seemed a little bored recently. Nothing interesting happened at all.

With nothing to do, he started to check Weibo again. After finishing a round, he actually felt a little sleepy. It was too boring. He had to go out and wait for some gossip.

Qingcheng Film and Television's company is in City C. Xu Qingye packed up his things and set off again. Before leaving, he arranged for Shen Que and Fang Xiaoqi to meet and explained a bunch of issues before leaving. Xu Qingye felt as if he was Shen Que's mother, but he was really worried.

Qingcheng Film and Television occupies a large area and has an independent building. Xu Qingye presented the interview invitation and someone led him to the third floor.

There is a spacious space on the third floor. At the moment, many people are sitting there, both men and women, all of them are young and beautiful faces.

There is anticipation on everyone's face. These people are all young people who dream of becoming stars. Sitting here, they are probably imagining their bright future.

Xu Qingye's eyes swept across these people's faces, and his mood suddenly became heavy. Qingcheng Film and Television was trampling on everyone's dreams and squeezing out all their value.

The model of Qingcheng Film and Television is like raising pigs. They sign a large number of newcomers and make money as long as one of them succeeds.

"Hey, move aside, this is my seat."

Xu Qingye was thinking about how to get the evidence of Qingcheng Film and Television when suddenly someone pulled him up. Caught off guard, Xu Qingye almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, someone nearby helped him up.

Xu Qingye was a little confused. He looked at the man who sat in his previous seat and wanted to go up to argue with him, but the girl who was supporting him saw this and quickly pulled him aside.

"Don't mess with him. I heard his father is a shareholder of the company. He came to the interview just for the sake of formality."

"This company is so unrefined. The ugly kid of a capitalist really wants to pursue his dream of entering the entertainment industry."

Xu Qingye glanced at the arrogant man. To say that he looked ordinary would be an understatement. He was completely blind.

The lens will have distortion, so the appearance requirements are very high, including the head-to-body ratio, facial folding degree, proportion of facial features, etc. Even if the appearance is not outstanding, at least it has to look comfortable, otherwise it will be a complete harm to the audience's eyes.

The girl was amused by Xu Qingye's words and pulled him away.

"Although it's true, don't say it out loud. It would be bad if someone heard it. I see you look unfamiliar. Is this your first time here? My name is Lin Xiaoya, and I'm a student at the Film Academy. What's your name?"

Xu Qingye didn't react at first, but when he heard the girl's self-introduction, his body suddenly froze and he subconsciously turned to look at her.

Lin Xiaoya has a cute baby face. She doesn't look aggressive at all, and her eyebrows are very cute when she smiles.

Xu Qingye looked at her, and scenes from the original novel appeared in his mind.

In the original novel, besides Shen Que, there was another key figure who played a role in the demise of Qingcheng Film and Television.

After Qingcheng Films was exposed for scandals such as shady contracts and forcing artists to drink alcohol, it quickly carried out public relations, held a clarification meeting that was all about talking around the bush, and hired a large number of internet trolls to participate, which almost calmed the situation.

Just as the crisis was about to pass, the emergence of a key figure completely exposed the evil deeds of Qingcheng Film and Television to everyone.

Lin Xiaoya signed a five-year contract with Qingcheng Films, but she only filmed one idol drama and a few unknown commercials. The rest of the time she had almost nothing to do and was forced by the company to accompany various clients to drink and sing.

Lin Xiaoya wanted to terminate the contract, but the company took out a lot of contracts that Lin Xiaoya was not aware of and asked her to pay a high penalty. Lin Xiaoya had been in the company for five years and had not made any money at all. This penalty was an astronomical figure for her.

Lin Xiaoya couldn't bear the blow, and after posting a suicide note on her own account, she jumped down from the building of Qingcheng Film and Television.

It is written in the book that the bright red blood is like a blooming rose, blooming in the filthy land of sin, tearing off all the hypocritical masks and revealing the filthy true face within.

Lin Xiaoya's death brought hope to others, but she was the only one who fell asleep in the eve of dawn.

Xu Qingye shed tears for Lin Xiaoya when he was reading the book. At this moment, a living person stood in front of him. She was even more vivid and lovely than described in the book.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly in a daze? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Lin Xiaoya stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Xu Qingye. Xu Qingye looked at her with a strange look, but she did not interpret any malice in it.

"It's okay. I just get distracted easily. My name is Xu Qingye. I'm not studying acting. I just sent in a resume to give it a try."

Xu Qingye explained and then started chatting with Lin Xiaoya. As a person who knew the plot, his savior mentality emerged again, and he wanted to change Lin Xiaoya's fate!

"Qingcheng Film and Television is quite strict. You must be amazing to be able to come for an interview even though you didn't major in acting. Do you have any special talents?"

Lin Xiaoya was a little curious about Xu Qingye. She had submitted her resume several times before but was always rejected. She was a little surprised to be notified for an interview this time.

"Is being good-looking enough? I just retouched my photos and embellished my resume a bit."

Xu Qingye recalled the time when he wrote his resume. He felt that his resume embodied the art of language to a great extent.

"Is that okay? But you're really pretty. If I had seen your photo, I would definitely have passed it on to you."

Lin Xiaoya looked at Xu Qingye and smiled in agreement. Xu Qingye was good-looking and his words were particularly interesting. The waiting time was not so boring at all.

"Thank you for helping me just now. I'll treat you to a meal later. Maybe we can become colleagues in the future."

"Okay, then I'll treat you to milk tea."

Lin Xiaoya nodded, added Xu Qingye's contact information and started chatting again.

Lin Xiaoya’s appearance is not outstanding, but her temperament is sweet and lovely, which is a very standard image of the heroine in early idol dramas.

Xu Qingye felt that Lin Xiaoya's type of character could easily become popular, and Qingcheng Film and Television had really missed the mark.

"I'm going to visit a few more film and television companies before deciding which one to sign with. Do you want to come with me?"

"I applied to many companies but received no response. Qingcheng Films was the only one that invited me to an interview. If I don't sign the contract, I will have no chance."

Lin Xiaoya was a little unconfident. She had been rejected too many times and wanted to grab the first opportunity she got.

Xu Qingye looked at her, reached out and grabbed her shoulders, and asked her to raise her head.

"If you want to become a big star, you must first be confident enough. You just haven't encountered the right opportunity yet. You have experienced the art exam where thousands of people compete against each other. You have already defeated many people. Why are you so unconfident?"

"You look like a pyramid schemer."

Lin Xiaoya looked at Xu Qingye. She didn't know why, but even though he was a stranger, she felt that Xu Qingye was very reliable.

"Then can you let me brainwash you once and give yourself more chances?"

"Okay, I'll trust you this time. If I pass the interview here, I'll go to a few more places. If I can pass this one, I'm sure I can pass the others, too."

Lin Xiaoya nodded. Actually, Qingcheng Film and Television was not her first choice at first, but after casting a wide net, only Qingcheng Film and Television responded.

The two were chatting idly when someone called Xu Qingye's name. Xu Qingye greeted Lin Xiaoya and quickly walked towards the office. He gently pinched the buttons of his clothes and turned on the micro camera hidden inside.

There was a row of people sitting in the interview room, and everyone had a serious expression. Xu Qingye walked in and gave a brief self-introduction.

The person in charge flipped through Xu Qingye's resume and took a look at it, then looked up and looked at him carefully. The photo was a bit over-retouched and slightly different from the real person, but overall it was acceptable.

"You are not a professional actor and have no acting experience. Tell me what your special talents are. I hope you can impress me."

The chief interviewer looked at Xu Qingye and asked him to introduce himself.

Before Xu Qingye came, he designed a character for himself. He studied the artists of Qingcheng Film and Television. Qingcheng Film and Television likes to sign newcomers who come from ordinary families, are good-looking but well-behaved and obedient. Those with ordinary families are easy to control, those who are good-looking have the hope of becoming famous, and those who are well-behaved and obedient are easy to control.

Xu Qingye put himself in such a shell, and added some lack of confidence.

After listening to the interviewer's questions, Xu Qingye lowered his head and spoke hesitantly.

"I don't know anything, but I can learn. I really want to act."

Xu Qingye tried his best to look sincere and humble, but the four words "I can learn" sounded very student-like and made him sound like a person with very little social experience.

The interviewer frowned when he heard what Xu Qingye said. He wrote something on the pen. Someone came over and said something to him. The person's eyes lit up and he took out his mobile phone to flip through it.

"Your appearance is OK, but everything else is far from perfect. We give priority to students from the acting and dance departments. You studied media, so you are definitely not good enough professionally. If we sign you, we will have to spend more money to train you, which is a very bad deal for the company."

The interviewer's pen tapped on the table intentionally or unintentionally, and he was quite dissatisfied with Xu Qingye. If Xu Qingye really came here for his debut, he would be a little panicked now.

Of course, he really looked panicked.

"I am willing to learn. As long as they can sign me, I am willing to study very hard. I am not picky about roles. As long as I can film, it's fine."

Xu Qingye felt that he had some talent in acting. He must have looked very anxious and worried.

The interviewer was very satisfied with Xu Qingye's performance. He relaxed his expression and showed a gentle smile.

"The company is willing to give newcomers a chance, but your qualifications are so poor that there is an additional requirement."
