Chapter 46 The Forty-Sixth Melon Purple Star Plan (Additional Update) ...
Xu Qingye listened to Shen Que's laughter and looked up at him. Shen Que was wearing a suit today and had his hair done. He looked much more mature and charming than usual.
But at this moment Xu Qingye had no time to appreciate his beauty. He reluctantly raised one hand and grabbed his trouser leg.
"Stop laughing! Help me up! My legs are numb."
Xu Qingye felt that he needed to stand up and jump to feel better, but he didn't have the strength to stand up at the moment.
Shen Que bent down and carried him back to the chair, then reached out and hammered him in the leg.
"How long have you been sitting here? You haven't been up all afternoon, have you?"
Shen Que looked around the room. Xu Qingye's luggage was not packed, but there were a lot of computers, papers and pens scattered around. It looked like he had been busy for most of the day.
"That's about it. I have a lot to do and I forget the time when I am busy. What about you? What did you do today?"
Xu Qingye also pinched his legs, and the numbness faded a lot. He moved and finally felt a little more comfortable.
"I took photos today and discussed several business cooperations. I sent all the cooperation invitations I received to my agent. She selected some good ones and discussed several advertisements for the time being."
Shen Que briefly talked about what happened today. In fact, most of the time was spent on the road. Shen Que rarely traveled to many places in one day.
Zhao Wen prepared the meal, but didn't see Shen Que coming out, so she went over to call for help. The door was open, so she naturally saw the two people being intimate inside. She cleared her throat.
"Let's eat first, it's getting cold."
The dishes were packed from an outside restaurant and looked delicious. Shen Que didn't eat much, and most of them went into Xu Qingye's stomach. Zhao Wen had been observing the two of them. The hint of ambiguity that she had just glimpsed from outside the door had completely disappeared after the two of them came out.
The way Xu Qingye looked at Shen Que was too frank. Although there was admiration in his eyes, he seemed to have no evil thoughts. Looking at Shen Que again, his eyes fell on Xu Qingye much more often.
It turns out to be unrequited love.
Zhao Wen made a conclusion, feeling a little sorry for Shen Que. It seemed that Xu Qingye didn't have any feelings for him that went beyond friendship.
After chatting for a while during the meal, Zhao Wen found out Xu Qingye's occupation. The self-media person Shen Que mentioned was not bad, after all, he was very good at self-media.
"Since Shen Que has signed a contract with Brilliant Pictures, I certainly can't let you work for nothing. Every artist in our company will have a promotional fund. I will apply for a portion of the Internet marketing expenses for you. Although you two are good friends, you have to make money from the company if you don't make money."
Internet promotion was not taken seriously before, but with development, its importance has gradually emerged. Many brokerage companies will maintain some marketing accounts to control comments and guide public opinion. Huihuang Film and Television naturally has resources in this regard, but in comparison, Xu Qingye is definitely more suitable. Firstly, he has a good relationship with Shen Que, and secondly, he has a record of achievements and is really capable.
"I'm sorry to hear you say that, but let me make it clear first. My account still belongs to me personally and I will not sell it to Brilliant Video. And I decide how to operate it myself. The company can only give me targets and cannot tell me how to operate. I have my own logic and don't like others to tell me what to do."
Xu Qingye was naturally happy to make money, but he had to say one thing in advance: don't be treated like a servant just for taking a little money. In that case, it would be better for him to do it himself.
"Of course. To be honest, we don't know much about this, so we still need you to do it." Zhao Wen responded with a smile. As they chatted, they completely ignored the existence of Shen Que, the real person.
"In fact, I have always had a plan for Shen Que. I was a little hesitant about this plan at first, but now I think it is completely feasible."
Shen Que's first play was performed on the national stage, which greatly boosted Xu Qingye's confidence. He had previously made a marketing plan, but the risks were a bit high and it was easy to fail. Now it seems that opportunities and risks coexist, and the chance of success is greater.
"What plan?" Zhao Wen was a little curious about what kind of plan Xu Qingye had made that made him hesitant at the beginning.
"It's not complicated, I call it the Purple Star Project. There haven't been any amazing actors in the domestic entertainment industry in recent years, the same group of actors have always been popular, and different dramas have different actors in different arrangements. To be honest, there is nothing new about it. Shen Que is a newcomer, his looks and temperament are very impressive, and he is also a talented actor, so I am going to give him the title of Purple Star. Just like the recently popular screenwriter Lu Zhiwen, it is said that he is born with good luck and his dramas will become popular. Is this statement just out of thin air? I believe there is some operation here."
Xu Qingye didn't explain it completely, but Zhao Wen already understood what he meant.
"I understand, but isn't it bad to have a big name? A big tree attracts the wind. I'm afraid of getting into trouble."
"Don't worry, marketing is all about being ambiguous. I won't make any final statements. Anyone who wants to take advantage of this reputation can do so. I guarantee that everyone will have fun."
Shen Queyi didn't understand what the two were saying, and he wasn't too curious about it. Xu Qingye wouldn't harm him, so he just had to cooperate with them.
Zhao Wen chatted with Xu Qingye for a long time again, starting with Shen Que and then talking about other people and things in the circle. The two had a great time talking to each other, and they actually felt like they had met too late.
When Shen Que met Zhao Wen, there was some shadow of Xu Qingye in him, and the two of them were able to chat with each other. Shen Que was tired after a day of work and felt a little sleepy, so he said hello and went to wash up first.
Shen did reserve a room for Zhao Wen, but he was not busy recently, so there was no need for Zhao Wen to live here. She said hello to Xu Qingye and went back.
After chatting with Zhao Wen, Xu Qingye was in a good mood. He hummed a song and prepared to go back to his room to tidy up. Halfway there, Shen Que came out wrapped in a bath towel.
"Now that we're done, how do you feel?"
Shen Que stood in front of Xu Qingye. He was still covered in moisture, with water droplets dripping from the ends of his hair and rolling down his beautiful, well-proportioned muscles.
Xu Qingye didn't know where to look for a moment. Shen Que, who had just taken a shower, was emitting heat all over. When he got closer, he felt a little hot himself.
"It's OK. We get along well. We seem to be the same kind of people."
"Yeah, I think you two look alike."
"You should go and rest quickly. I'll also wash up and rest. Let's cherish the last bit of free time."
Xu Qingye took a step back and prepared to run away, but Shen Que reached out and grabbed his arm.
"It's been a while since we last chatted. Do you want to sleep together tonight?"
"No, I've talked a lot today and I want to rest. I'll find you next time. It's convenient since we're next door."
Xu Qingye waved his hands. His throat was almost sore from talking to Zhao Wen. If he continued talking to Shen Que all night, his throat would probably be sore. He also had to write some copy in the evening and needed a little private space.
Being rejected by Xu Qingye, Shen Que didn't react. He just hummed and pushed the door back to his room. Seeing the door closed, Xu Qingye breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know why, but he had a feeling that something would go wrong if he agreed.
Xu Qingye started to think about the "Purple Star" plan since he met Shen Que. This setting does not exist in the original novel, but all of Shen Que's personality settings fit the plan very well.
The newcomer who suddenly appeared took the entertainment industry by storm with his absolutely stunning appearance. He was not a fleeting shooting star, but a long-lasting shining star.
Ziwei Star is the Emperor Star, the emperor of the entertainment industry, what a resounding name.
Xu Qingye thought about it and contacted a metaphysics blogger with a lot of fans.
"A Summer Named After You" has been scheduled, and several of the main actors have been dug up. Shen Que and Zhuang Yang are both newcomers, so there is really nothing to dig up about them. The official Weibo account has also updated a few trailers, and the general outline of the whole story has become clear.
Gu Li, who comes from a wealthy family, has always been pursuing a happy family and the recognition of his parents, but in fact their family has long fallen apart. His parents, who seem to be in love, have actually divorced a long time ago. They kept it a secret so as not to affect Gu Li's studies, but in the end the superficial peace could not be maintained and the lies were finally exposed. Gu Li was on the verge of depression because of the influence of his family. At this time, he met Midsummer, who was like a little sun.
Shengxia's family is ordinary and warm, and she also has her own secrets. She was adopted and was abandoned by her biological parents many years ago, and then came to this family.
Shengxia told Gu Li that one can choose one's own family, so he shouldn't be sad about what has happened.
Gu Li said that his name was written in a messy way, it was just the random addition of his parents' surnames, and Shengxia told him, Gu Li, your name is not without meaning, breaking through the darkness can lead to the dawn, so your name means hope, and I am Xia Tian, we are the summer full of hope.
The original script was a complete youth drama, a growth story of boys and girls who redeemed each other, with just some family elements incorporated. After it was confirmed to be broadcast on the national TV station, the focus of the editing changed slightly, but the main theme of mutual redemption and mutual growth remained unchanged.
In many domestic entertainment dramas, the ones who are redeemed are girls, but this drama is different. Gu Li, played by Shen Que, is the one who is redeemed and illuminated. The reversal of the role relationship alone sets this drama apart from other dramas.
Perhaps the National TV Station chose this drama because the female characters in this drama are no longer weak and need to be redeemed.
"A Summer Named After You" has been on the hot search list all the time, and the names of Shen Que and Zhuang Yang appear from time to time. These two newcomers who couldn't be newer have suddenly become popular.
Among the hot searches related to the drama, the three words "Purple Star" appeared abruptly, and many people clicked on it out of curiosity.
Entering from the hot searches, I found a Weibo post from a well-known metaphysics blogger.
Mr. Zhiyi: The entertainment industry is about to face a reshuffle, with old stars falling, capital reshuffled, and new superstars about to emerge.
