Chapter 62 Chapter 62 After Master Yi had his meal,...

After dinner, Zhou Xiong was reluctant to leave and insisted on talking to Xu Qingye. He thought Xu Qingye was an expert. Although Xu Qingye said that he did not know how to read faces, Zhou Xiong felt that he said that out of humility.

Zhou Xiong talked to him about the latest dramas and new actors that have emerged recently, and somehow the conversation turned to Shen Que.

"You know Shen Que, right? I think he must have a lot of money behind him. I don't know how much money his family spent on him to win the Best Actor award. A newcomer dared to do this in his first drama. He is so bold. I can only say that he is lucky. There are no strong competitors in the same period, otherwise he would have been criticized to death."

Zhou Xiong sighed, wondering who was so bold as to give the Best Actor award to a newcomer. Even TV stations wouldn't dare to film such a thing.

"He has no capital behind him, he really relies on his own strength. You said there were no good dramas in the same period, so isn't it normal for him to come to the fore?"

Xu Qingye felt helpless. Could it be that he couldn't get around Shen Que recently? Why did everyone mention him?

"Ah? You mean he is really an amateur?" Zhou Xiong was a little unconvinced. Zhong Yin, who was playing with his mobile phone on the side, also looked up at Xu Qingye.

There are rumors in the circle that there is a big shot behind Shen Que, otherwise how could a newcomer have such a smooth career.

"He is so handsome that he cannot be simply classified as an amateur. We can only say that he was born to do this. Recently, there is a metaphysical rumor that the entertainment industry will undergo a major change and new superstars will emerge. I think Shen Que may be the star that fell from the sky. He has signed with Brilliant Pictures, so the subsequent resources will definitely not be bad."

Xu Qingye lowered his voice mysteriously. Now that they were talking about Shen Que, he couldn't waste the opportunity. Zhou Xiong looked like a big mouth, and if he told him, the news might get out.

"Is this true? Is it so mysterious?"

"I was just saying that. Small fame depends on promotion, big fame depends on luck. He may not be as famous as a star, but it is not difficult to become extremely famous. You don't have to worry too much. He will definitely pursue a career in the film industry in the future and will not become a rival to your artist."

Xu Qingye took back his words. It was too late to deal with this kind of thing, so just a simple word of thanks would be enough.

"I'm not worried. Who among those people in our company can be his rival? Among the young generation of actors recently, the only one who can compare with Shen Que is probably Zhuang Qibei. He debuted as a child star and won many awards since he was young. He also performed well in several dramas after growing up. He has always been the leader of the new generation of artists. It's a pity that he was overshadowed by a newcomer."

Zhou Xiong was talkative and started to criticize other people again. Xu Qingye responded perfunctorily and found an opportunity to send him away.

In the original novel, Zhuang Qibei and Shen Que are old enemies, and it feels like "if there is Yu, why is there Liang?" Of course, this is more of Zhuang Qibei's one-sided idea. Shen Que in the original novel is just a Bking, who doesn't take other people seriously at all.

After hearing the name of this character who had a lot of roles in the original novel, Xu Qingye couldn't help but search for his name. He must have seen it before, but he didn't deliberately remember it, so the name and appearance didn't match in his mind.

Zhuang Qibei is only 22 years old this year, two years younger than Shen Que. He is currently studying at the Film Academy. He started filming at the age of six and has played many roles as the protagonist's childhood. At the age of 18, he starred in a campus drama and received several nominations, which was one step away from winning an award. He later filmed many similar works and received very good responses. After being admitted to the Film Academy, he filmed fewer dramas and focused all his attention on his studies.

Judging from his resume, Zhuang Qibei is very good. Many child stars are cute when they are young, but they are not suitable for the entertainment industry after growing up. Only a few can develop for a long time. There are even fewer who are like Zhuang Qibei who seriously studied for film academy and started over.

Zhuang Qibei has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he has a sunny and cheerful smile. He is the type of handsome senior that everyone in school can't help but say hello to when they see him.

Xu Qingye compared the two men and privately felt that Shen Que was more handsome. At least his handsomeness had a sense of distance.

Cao Muan came back after hiding for a few days and sent all the photos to Xu Qingye, speaking with some anger.

"Su Shiyi was obviously forced into this. She never smiled. She was tightly wrapped up when she went out. I even took photos of her with bruises on her body. Her company definitely abused her."

Cao Muan enlarged some photos of the bruises and showed them to Xu Qingye. There were some bruises on his arms and legs, but because they were tightly covered, only a little bit could be seen.

"There is no evidence that it was the company that beat me."

Xu Qingye was a little embarrassed, as these photos could only prove that Su Shiyi had injuries on his body.

"It's a bit difficult to get into their company. I'll contact my previous informant."

Cao Muan thought about it for a while and she could only follow from a distance. She didn't dare to follow every time she entered or left the company hotel and other places, so the things she could take pictures of were naturally very limited.

"Well, how's Li Wei doing?"

Xu Qingye nodded and asked about Li Wei's situation.

"I've already dealt with that. After I told her about the situation, it just so happened that she had a variety show to appear on recently, so I came up with an idea for her. She created a character of a heroine who dares to love and hate, and generously shared her past relationships. The online public opinion was okay, and she just made a mistake that all men would make. People are open-minded nowadays, and don't really care that much about these private matters. In addition, Li Wei generously shared some love tips, and attracted a wave of fans. Li Wei said all the negative information that the other party wanted to expose, and didn't give them any chance to slander her."

Speaking of Li Wei, Cao Muan's tone became much more relaxed. Fortunately, every relationship of Li Wei ended peacefully, otherwise she would not dare to talk about it.

As a paparazzi, you can't be too empathetic to the people involved. There are a lot of dirty things in the entertainment industry, and taking everything to heart will only make you sad. Cao Muan used to treat gossip as entertainment, but this time when she went to photograph Su Shiyi, she really saw the darkness of the entertainment industry for the first time, which made her a little unsure how to digest these emotions.

"Don't follow Su Shiyi for now. It's almost the New Year, so take a break. This year, I'd like you to watch the New Year's Eve Gala in the audience seats, not the media seats."

Xu Qingye looked at the sadness on Cao Muan's face and patted her on the shoulder.

"New Year's Eve party? It can't be that Shen Que is attending, so you invited us to watch it."

Cao Muan's eyes lit up. As a veteran fan, she was very interested in all kinds of evening parties, concerts and the like. She had been excited for a long time when she attended the Golden Swallow Awards ceremony. This time, she could just sit in the audience, which was simply a year-end benefit.

"It doesn't matter whether he participates or not. He really doesn't have any talent. The production team just threw him into the chorus and let him show his face for a while."

Xu Qingye hummed and grunted. He had just received a message from Shen Que today. Hongguotai invited him to attend the New Year's Eve party and gave him a few tickets. He gave all the tickets to Xu Qingye as employee benefits.

"Thank you, boss. I will definitely go. You can ask Yi He. He might have to go home for the New Year."

Cao Muan was a little excited. The competition for the New Year's Eve party was very fierce every year. After all, there were only a few famous stars. Half-true and half-false program lists had already begun to leak out on the Internet, so it was still worth looking forward to the lineup of Hongguo TV.

After finishing the report, Cao Muan sat down to play with her mobile phone. Xu Qingye glanced at her, and Cao Muan also glanced at him. The two looked at each other for a moment, and Cao Muan's eyes were blank.

"What's wrong? Do you dislike me?"

"A little bit. Have you written the annual summary? Have you written the New Year's plan? Aren't weekly plans, monthly plans, and quarterly plans all things to do? Does the company still want to become bigger and stronger?" Xu Qingye nodded seriously. He was still busy, so why was Cao Muan playing with his phone in front of him?

"I can understand the annual summary, but if I write a plan, will the stars fail within the time frame I planned and follow my plan step by step? If so, can I change the name of my work plan to prophetic notes?"

Cao Muan curled the corner of his mouth and looked at Xu Qingye again.

"I gave you so many reports and plans. How many of them have you read?"

"Hehe, I'm just kidding you. You're tired after a day, so just lie down for a while."

Xu Qingye gave an awkward smile. He really didn't read the report submitted by Cao Muan.

The next afternoon, Xu Qingye called the two of them together for a meeting, mainly to communicate about Su Shiyi's situation.

When an artist is beaten, it is big news no matter who does it. If it can be proved that it was the company that did it, it will lay the foundation for the subsequent exposure of the evil deeds of Qingcheng Film and Television.

"In fact, the most difficult problem still lies with Su Shiyi. She is the victim and everyone believes what she says. If the company controls her, she will not be able to tell the truth. If she is the victim, it is very likely to cause secondary harm. I think it is still not possible to expose it rashly."

"I looked online and found that some fans had noticed this before. The company said that he was injured accidentally during filming, and they also sold his image of being a hard-working person. They may continue to say the same thing this time, but Su Shiyi has not joined the crew recently, so this statement is a bit untenable."

Cao Muan and Yi He analyzed the situation seriously. The difficulty of this matter lies in the fact that it is a violent incident. If it is not handled properly, it will cause deeper harm to the parties involved, so they must be cautious.

"Actually, this matter is simple. Just meet and talk with Su Shiyi and find out what she thinks." Xu Qingye tapped his fingers lightly on the table. The breakthrough point of the problem lies with Su Shiyi. As long as he meets her, everything will be easy to discuss.

"It's easier said than done. How can we prove it? We can't just force our way in, right?" Yi He rolled his eyes. Xu Qingye always spoke so lightly. He also knew that it would be best to talk face to face, but how to do it was a difficult problem.

"Is it difficult for Master Yi to meet a female celebrity? Jump City needs a spokesperson in the new year."

Xu Qingye looked at Yi He with a smile and raised his eyebrows at him.

"Are you crazy? My dad will hunt me down!" Yi He took a breath of cold air. If he used the family's business to trick him, he might not have a good year.

"It's alright, it's alright, it's not a real contract, it's just a name. Your family has many industries, you can come up with any excuse, we can just invite the person out openly, then you can act a little bit vulgar, say you want to talk to Su Shiyi alone, and drive everyone out, you know how to operate it."

"I don't understand, I'm a decent person!" Yi He wanted to slam the table. What on earth was in Xu Qingye's head? It was so disgusting!
