Chapter 42 Chapter 42 The melon selection agent Xu Qingye leaned on the sofa...
Xu Qingye leaned on the sofa, looking at Shen Que holding his phone with a strange expression. He immediately reached out to take the phone back, but Shen Que dodged him. His eyes never left the phone screen from beginning to end.
"Shen Que, I originally thought I was the owner of its heart, but later I found out you were it. When it saw you, it started jumping up and down uncontrollably. I knew it was just expressing its love for you before I did."
"I fantasized about being an artist, a philosopher, a musician, but in the end I just wanted to live in my brother's house."
"'Your handsome photo makes my weak body worse.' What does this mean?"
Shen Que looked at Xu Qingye's phone and recited two sentences casually. The corny sentences matched his serious expression and looked very inconsistent. Xu Qingye felt so embarrassed that he tapped his toes on the ground and wanted to end this farce quickly.
I'm sorry, netizens, he didn't intentionally put these things in front of the real owner!
"Stop reading it. How can you read it like that? It's so embarrassing."
Xu Qingye snatched back the phone and quickly exited the comment section, which was full of flattery, each one more unreliable than the last.
"You can read, but why can't I read? Are you so hypocritical?"
Shen Que put down his luggage and didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did. Xu Qingye looked at these strange contents and chuckled, but he didn't say anything. He just asked out of curiosity.
"Don't meddle in fans' affairs. Keep your distance from them."
Xu Qingye issued a solemn warning!
"Last time you asked me to interact more with my fans and not be so aloof, but today you asked me to keep my distance again. So should I be enthusiastic or indifferent?"
Shen Que found the contradiction in Xu Qingye's words and sat down opposite him very seriously. He was curious about how Xu Qingye would answer.
"You can be enthusiastic offline, but don't watch too much online. In short, stay away from their spiritual world."
Xu Qingye thought hard and realized that it was really difficult to strike the right balance. With so many fans praising him, it would be hard for Shen Que not to see it. However, some fans' praise was a bit excessive and he was afraid that it would be embarrassing for Shen Que to see it.
"Oh, I see."
Shen Que nodded, and Xu Qingye didn't know whether he really understood.
"In any case, don't just search your name on the Internet."
Xu Qingye reminded again that the news on the Internet is messy and reading too much will only make you tired.
"When will your show be aired? I'll check it out then."
Shen Que was recording a promotional variety show this time. It was not a fixed program, but was recorded entirely for the purpose of promoting the TV series. The specific broadcast time had to be coordinated with the promotion work of the TV series.
"It's not certain yet. The show is still in the process of discussing the broadcasting platform. It is expected to be a prime time slot of a first-tier satellite TV station. We will see which platform is interested after the pilot show."
Shen Que shook his head. He didn't know the exact broadcast time. The crew attached great importance to this drama and wanted to wait for the most suitable broadcast platform.
The ratings of Lu's dramas are guaranteed. When the series was just finished, many TV stations had already inquired about it. However, Lu's editor did not seem very satisfied. He urged the editors to work overtime and prepare to hold a pilot show so that the major TV stations could take a look at the quality before deciding whether to purchase it.
Shen Que didn't understand any of this, he just did whatever the crew arranged for him to do.
"I see. With you here, it will definitely be a great platform to broadcast on."
Xu Qingye thought for a moment. According to the aura of the male protagonist, the platform where the show would be broadcast would most likely exceed expectations. After all, that's what was written in the novel: wherever the male protagonist goes, he is invincible.
Shen Que didn't understand where Xu Qingye had such great confidence in him, but he couldn't help but feel happy when he was trusted like that.
"What are your plans for the next few days?"
Xu Qingye asked about Shen Que's schedule again. He had to stay in the film and television city for a few days to discuss the specific plan with Shen Qing.
"I have an appointment with Brilliant Pictures the day after tomorrow to discuss the contract. I don't have any other special plans for the time being."
"Then why don't you go directly back to City A? You're taking a detour and have to leave again tomorrow, so you won't be able to rest properly."
Xu Qingye didn't quite understand Shen Que's itinerary arrangement. It was obvious that going directly back to City A would be the easiest option.
"I thought you sent me a message to tell me you were in City C so that I could come find you. Did I misunderstand?" Shen Cong stared at Xu Qingye seriously. He flipped through the message records and found that it was a message from Xu Qingye to him. "I have been in City C these days."
"That's not what I meant. I just wanted to tell you."
Xu Qingye was speechless. He really just made a report, not an invitation.
"Forget it, since you're here, I'll treat you to a good meal. Let's go. There are a few good restaurants nearby."
Xu Qingye sighed, too lazy to explain anything further, so he simply stood up and asked Shen Que to follow him out.
Along the way, Xu Qingye started to talk a lot again, mainly discussing with Shen Que how to gain greater benefits from the brokerage company.
Xu Qingye had discussed the main information and content with him before, and this time it was just to help him consolidate his knowledge.
"I was going to go with you, but now it just happens that you are not allowed to go. Be careful and don't get fooled. These brokerage companies love to fool college graduates like you. Don't believe anything they say. Read the contract carefully, okay?"
"I'm a graduate of University A. I'm not a fool."
Shen Que sighed helplessly. Xu Qingye sometimes worried too much and always treated him like an ignorant child. Shen Que had taken law as an elective course and was not a deceptive person.
"Okay, I'm being long-winded."
Xu Qingye shut up. Shen Que probably didn't like listening to his nagging. He also knew that his biggest flaw was that he talked too much.
"That's not what I meant."
Shen Que saw that Xu Qingye seemed a little unhappy, so he ran over and pulled his sleeve. Xu Qingye shook him off and still said nothing.
"I've been feeling pretty bored lately, do you have any gossip to share with me?"
Shen Que followed Xu Qingye silently for a while, and couldn't help but use a big move.
When Shen Que asked, Xu Qingye finally couldn't help it and pulled Shen Que to talk about the gossips he had heard recently. However, they were not big problems, just some things like snatching roles, and someone being used by the crew to attract fans.
Talking about these, Xu Qingye simply couldn't stop, he found that he really loved this line of work.
Shen Que left in a hurry again the next morning. When Xu Qingye woke up from his sleep at noon, the takeaway that Shen Que ordered for him had just arrived.
After dinner, Xu Qingye went to the crew to take a photo of Shen Qing, and stopped by to see if there was anything interesting.
Shen Que returned to City A and first found Fang Xiaoqi. Fang Xiaoqi had not been with Su Ziyu recently and happened to be in a work gap period. Shen Que found her so quickly, which made her very happy.
"Are you sure you want me to be your assistant? If you are sure, we need to sign a formal contract this time."
Fang Xiaoqi does not belong to any particular company. Most artist assistants are freelancers and do not work for a particular company. Some artists, for the sake of privacy protection, will also ask their relatives and friends to serve as assistants.
Fang Xiaoqi is a professional assistant. Her contract with Su Ziyu is about to expire. Su Ziyu has many assistants, so it is not necessary to renew the contract. Fang Xiaoqi wanted to work for Shen Que, so Su Ziyu gave her a big red envelope and wished her a bright future and did not make things difficult for her.
Perhaps this result was already in mind when the decision was made to second her to Shen Que.
Back to Shen Que, Fang Xiaoqi is full of energy. She sees Shen Que's potential and believes that within a few years, his name will surely be famous in the entertainment industry.
Huihuang Films has an independent building that looks very spectacular from a distance. Since its establishment, Huihuang Films has contributed many wonderful films and cultivated many filmmakers. Today, the older generation of movie kings and queens in the circle have intricate ties with Huihuang Films.
Shen Que walked into Huihuang Film and Television, and many people looked at him. Under everyone's gaze, he walked to the front desk and explained his purpose.
"Hello, Mr. Gu and I have an appointment to meet at 3 pm."
Shen Que greeted the front desk clerk, who immediately took him to the special elevator.
Gu Ze is the boss of Huihuang Films. He had just taken over the company and was very energetic. He was very optimistic about Shen Que, so he specially received him in person.
Shen Que went upstairs, and the news that a super handsome newcomer had arrived in the company spread quickly.
In the broker's office, a girl jogged into the room, hugged someone's shoulders from behind, and spoke to her in a low voice.
"Sister Xiao, there's a super handsome newcomer at the company, the Shen Que who was always on the hot search list. I heard he's here to discuss a contract, and President Gu is personally meeting him. You haven't brought in a newcomer for a long time, will you let Shen Que bring him in?"
The person being embraced is Xiao Yang, who is the gold medal agent of Huihuang Film and Television. She has brought out many talented movie stars. The actress Xu Hong is also an artist under her charge. She is also very influential in the circle.
But everything has its pros and cons. Fame brings her glory but also troubles. Her past achievements make her afraid to bring in new people lightly, for fear that one careless move will wipe out all the glory of the past.
When Xiao Yang heard Shen Que's name, he immediately remembered that it was Xu Qingye's beautiful friend. Xiao Yang had handed him a business card before, but unfortunately Shen Que had never contacted her.
Later, Xu Qingye and Xu Hong had an unpleasant quarrel, and Xiao Yang was too embarrassed to look for him, and forgot about Shen Que for a while.
"Did he come alone?"
Xiao Yang was thinking about something and suddenly thought of something. He pulled the girl aside to ask her. She was worried that Xu Qingye was also here. Many people in the circle were also interested in Xu Qingye's face.
"I guess so. There was a female assistant waiting for him outside. He went upstairs alone."
"I see. If there is a chance, I would like to cooperate with him. I wonder if he would think I am too old."
Xiao Yang said something, and the girl quickly complimented him.
"You really love to joke. You have a lot of experience. Everyone would be happy to work with you."
The two were chatting and laughing when Gu Ze's assistant came in and asked the agents who had the energy to train new people to go to the meeting room upstairs. Xiao Yang didn't quite understand what was going on, but he followed them upstairs as well.
When they got upstairs, several agents realized that it was Gu Ze who promised Shen Que to let him choose his own agent. They were called up to be interviewed by Shen Que. It was such a great honor for a newcomer. It seemed that President Gu thought highly of him.
Xiao Yang stood where he was, looking at the ugly faces of the people who came with him. It would be really shameful if he lost to them. Xiao Yang hesitated and wanted to leave, but finally couldn't bear to do so. He was thinking that he had to play the emotional card.
Xu Qingye, maybe he will be a breakthrough.
