Chapter 26 The Twenty-Sixth Melon Becomes the Condition of the Asahi Group Lin Xiao...

Lin Xiaoya's affairs were handed over to Cao Muan, and Xu Qingye started to busy himself with his own affairs. At night, Cao Muan brought Lin Xiaoya to find Xu Qingye. As soon as he entered the house, Cao Muan ran to Xu Qingye angrily.

"What's wrong? You look a little weird."

Xu Qingye poured a glass of water for the two of them. Both of them had sullen faces, looking as if they had been bullied.

Cao Muan drank the water in one gulp, and then began to talk about what happened during the day.

Everything was normal at the beginning. Qingcheng Film and Television didn't say anything when they saw Cao Muan accompanying them. But when it came to signing the contract, they began to frantically urge Lin Xiaoya to sign it, and kept saying things that belittled Lin Xiaoya, saying that the company gave her this opportunity because she was really pitiful, and that she should know how to cherish it and be grateful.

Cao Muan insisted on looking at it carefully, saying that signing a contract is a big deal and cannot be taken lightly, and that the commission, resource composition, etc. must all be looked at clearly.

The contract contained many requirements for the artists but not many for the company. The part about resources for Lin Xiaoya was even more vague. After Cao Muan raised questions about several items, the other party's attitude became even worse.

"They said that there are many people like Lin Xiaoya on the street, and that it was a blessing for her that the company was willing to sign her. The reason why she had poor resources was only because she was too bad. The company could only give her limited resources. In the future, through her own efforts, resources will naturally improve. I asked a few more questions and they called someone to kick me out."

Cao Muan became even angrier when he said this. Fortunately, Lin Xiaoya was still sober, otherwise she would have really signed that unfair contract.

"In fact, after you left, their attitude became much better. They explained some of the terms to me and showed me a training contract. They said that the company was willing to give me resources, but the competition was too fierce. It was not easy to compete with internal artists, so they hoped that I could be more motivated."

Lin Xiaoya recalled and suddenly felt a little scared. The training was not free and there was a large fee. However, the company said that the money would be paid first and then returned after making money from filming subsequent movies.

If it were before, Lin Xiaoya might have really signed, but the dispute between Cao Muan and the company made her a little worried.

"I said I didn't want to sign, and their expressions suddenly turned ugly. They said a lot of things that belittled me, saying that if I missed this opportunity, it would be difficult to enter the industry in the future. I was very hesitant, but I thought that at worst I could just go back home. Moreover, Ono-san said he would introduce me to a brokerage company, so I refused without hesitation. When I came out, they threatened me not to say anything nonsense. Is this company a shady shop?"

Lin Xiaoya felt a chill down her spine as she recalled the incident. They didn't even let her look through the so-called training contract. If there was a trap, she didn't know what she would have to bear in the future.

"Brother Ono, you don't really want to be an actor, do you?"

Lin Xiaoya came back to her senses. She looked at Xu Qingye with gratitude. Xu Qingye had been reminding her not to sign a contract with Qingcheng Film and Television, and even asked someone to accompany her. It was obvious that he knew something.

"Why would he be an actor at his age? Would he play the father of the male lead?"

Cao Muan laughed out loud and Xu Qingye glared at her.

"There's no problem with me playing the male lead like this, get out of here."

Pushing Cao Muan away, Xu Qingye sat next to Lin Xiaoya.

"I didn't go there to be an actor. I'm an entertainment reporter. There were some problems with the operation of Qingcheng Films. I've always wanted to check out this company, so I thought about going there to take a look. Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance."

Xu Qingye spread his hands. He had really intended to sign, but who knew that this crappy company would look down on him!

"Ah, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me, I would have signed the contract. I can help you check it."

"Girls should avoid dangerous places. You never know what might happen. Okay, don't think too much. I've found a brokerage firm for you. Someone will contact you in a few days. Forget about what happened today and go back to have a good sleep."

Xu Qingye shook his head. The original novel only described Lin Xiaoya's experience in a few words, but it was enough to make people sigh. He couldn't imagine how torturous the five long years in reality would be.

"Thank you, you are such a nice person."

"Men don't like to hear women praise them for being nice."

Cao Muan spoke softly, and Xu Qingye glared at her again.

"Why are you talking so weirdly? I didn't offend you, did I?"

"No, it's just that I've been fighting with people a lot recently, and I think I've made great progress." Cao Muan shook her head. After taking over several marketing accounts, she saw the diversity of species. Since the account was not named after her, Cao Muan felt at ease and boldly opened the microphone to fight with others for hundreds of rounds.

Apart from anything else, it's quite stress-relieving. She enjoys talking back, and the onlookers enjoy watching her too. Her number of fans has increased by thousands.

"Learn something good. Every account has its own investment, so don't get your account blocked."

Xu Qingye was a little worried. Cao Muan had been in the fan circle for many years and had picked up a lot of bad habits. He had to change the thing about not being able to control himself and quarreling with others.

They are not really here to quarrel or curse, they are more noble, they are here to make money!

"Got it, good man. I'll take Xiaoya back, you go ahead and do your work."

Cao Muan pulled Lin Xiaoya away laughing. Xu Qingye looked at their backs, shook his head helplessly, and continued to work in front of the computer.

Su Tzuyu has been busy filming recently, and she and Jiang Boqi didn't deliberately appear on the same stage after the concert. The main reason is that they are both busy and really don't have time to see each other more often.

The number of fans of the two of them increased greatly, but it also inevitably caused some conflicts among the fans. The main reason was that the fans of both sides were unable to adapt to the sudden friendship of the real protagonists.

We have always been rivals and are used to scolding each other, but now we are suddenly a family and I don’t know how to get along with each other.

Fortunately, Xu Qingye had already arranged for several big fans to provide guidance and maintain peace in the fan circle.

Most of the dramas Su Tzuyu has filmed are idol dramas. Although she filmed a historical drama this time, the role is not big and does not have much blessing effect on herself. If she wants to gain a firm foothold, she still needs a role that stands out from the crowd.

Su Tzuyu has a good-looking appearance. Although she is an idol, she doesn't have too much feminine air. Xu Qingye searched for some recent TV drama projects to see if there is any suitable for Su Tzuyu.

There are many new dramas registered. Xu Qingye looked around but didn't see anything suitable, so he searched for those that have already started filming, hoping to see if there would be any chance to pick up a bargain.

After browsing for a while, Xu Qingye actually found a drama.

He immediately called Su Ziyu.

Although Su Tzuyu didn't have many scenes, he still stayed on the set. He was leaning back in a chair to rest when he was startled by the ringing of his cell phone.

After taking a look at the incoming call ringtone, Su Ziyu suppressed her anger and pressed the answer button.

"What's wrong, brother? You'd better come to me for something serious."

Su Tzuyu gritted her teeth, no one knows how precious sleep is during the breaks between filming.

"There is a drama that is very suitable for you. You should prepare for the interview soon. I have sent you the information. Please take a look."

Xu Qingye did not hear the anger in Su Ziyu's tone, and sent the information to Su Ziyu while speaking.

Su Ziyu clicked on it with some curiosity and looked at it, then looked confused.

Xu Qingye sent him the information of a period drama called "The Compound", which was produced by Nebula Era, which is known to be the best at making serious dramas. The story revolves around the development of stories between several families living in the compound in the late 1970s. The changes in the times have brought about earth-shaking changes in the lives of several families.

"The Compound" stars a group of veteran actors and the cast is quite luxurious, but the roles have already been decided and filming started not long ago. Why would he go for an audition at this time?

"Brother, have you traveled through time and space and forgotten to check the time? The filming of this drama has already started."

"Even after filming is finished, there is always the possibility of reshoots with a new cast, not to mention that it has just started. Wait and see, there will be news soon."

Xu Qingye clicked on the cast list and enlarged the photo of one of the characters. In the original novel, he was a legal expert who fell into disgrace after being reported for drug use.

In the original novel, this person was only revealed after the filming of "The Compound" was completed, so a large number of scenes in the entire drama had to be re-shot, and it also missed the selection of several awards, which is a pity.

"From the tone of your voice, there must be something fishy going on. Tell me what's going on."

Su Ziyu immediately perked up and wasn't sleepy at all. Being in the entertainment industry, he was much more curious than most people.

"My melons are very expensive. Since you're my old customer, I'll give you the price of ten thousand yuan in advance." Xu Qingye chuckled, and the person on the other side immediately shouted loudly.

"I don't have any money, and I'm not curious at all. Just tell me which role you want me to prepare for the interview."

"If you want to trick me, I won't tell you. Just work out and get more sun."

Xu Qingye was not fooled. If he told the role, whoever was going to collapse would be exposed.

"Got it. I'll trust you this time."

After Su Tzuyu hung up the phone, she immediately went to share the news with Jiang Boqi excitedly. Although she didn't know what the big news was, she knew that it was a young male actor of the same age as Su Tzuyu in the "The Compound" crew. She could probably guess who it was by the process of elimination, but she didn't know what happened to him.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Qingye saw two messages from Shen Que, in which he reported his daily schedule to him. Xu Qingye clicked on them and saw that Shen Que had also posted a selfie. He was wearing a school uniform and standing in the sun, looking youthful and invincible.

Xu Qingye sent a message back: Wait for me, I will come to see you in two days.

As soon as the message was sent, Shen Que sent a video request. Xu Qingye casually pressed the accept button, and Shen Que's handsome face appeared on the phone screen.

Shen Que had just taken a shower. His upper body was naked and still damp. He looked like a peeled egg, except that he looked a little thinner than before. He had some thin muscles before, but now he was just thin.

"You look so haggard."

Xu Qingye was a little worried, because he had trained just right before, with a thin layer of muscle that was neither too exaggerated nor skinny. He was the type that girls liked the most: thin but not skinny, with muscles but not exaggerated.

"The role requires it, so I will look thinner after losing weight, don't worry."

Shen Que put on a T-shirt as he spoke, then picked up a towel beside him and began to wipe his hair. The water droplets flowed down his cheeks to his neck, and then disappeared deep into the T-shirt.
