Chapter 70 Chapter 70 Shen Queyi, whose emotions are all complicated...
As soon as Shen Que left, Xu Qingye went back to take a nap, and after waking up, he went back home.
He converted the second floor of his house into a temporary studio, and has been working there recently. Once he makes some money, he will have to rent a studio in the city center.
"What were you doing last night?"
Yi He saw Xu Qingye and gave him a lewd smile, and Xu Qingye rolled his eyes at him in response.
"What can I do? I just work. Didn't you see I sent so many messages? I've been busy all night."
"It was sent, but it was two hours late. What happened to those two hours?"
"Can't I just take a break? Besides, I'm on some business. I met Wang Zheng yesterday and talked to him for a long time. I sorted out some useful information."
Xu Qingye roughly told Yi He what he had talked about yesterday, and Yi He looked at him with some surprise.
"You really went to work, didn't you go to see Shen Que?"
"Of course, why am I looking for Shen Que?" Xu Qingye felt a little guilty and quickly coughed twice to change the subject. "Where's Cao Muan? Why can't I see her?"
"He sent a message early in the morning saying he wanted to take a rest. I guess he is sleeping at home."
Yi He made a casual remark, and Xu Qingye didn't care. He pulled Yi He to discuss the matter of Qingcheng Film and Television. He thought that he could first send out some unimportant news to test the waters, and then expand the matter little by little, so as not to attract the attention of the other party by exploding all of a sudden and catch him off guard.
"Okay, let's start with something that has nothing to do with itching and see how they react."
Yi He nodded in agreement. Slowly testing the waters was also an idea.
After talking about Qingcheng Film and Television, Xu Qingye searched for the latest situation of "The Compound". Su Ziyu sent him a New Year's text message a few days ago, but didn't say much, so there shouldn't be any big problems.
"Let's go visit the set of 'The Courtyard' tomorrow. After all, we invested money in it so we have to show some concern."
Xu Qingye did some searching and found that there weren't many leaked photos of "The Compound". Most of them were official behind-the-scenes footage. It seemed that the control over proxy photographers was quite strict. From the few leaked photos, one could see the care that went into the production, and both the costumes and the scenes were exquisite.
Xu Qingye searched Su Tzuyu's name again. When it was first announced that he would join the group, there were quite a lot of voices opposing him. Later, after some makeup photos were released, the voices became quieter after the behind-the-scenes footage.
When searching for Su Tzuyu's name, all that came up were the performances of her collaboration with Jiang Boqi last night. Xu Qingye selected a straight shot and clicked in to watch. The performance between the two was wonderful, and it was not deliberate. It was a very normal performance. The two even seemed a little distant in their performances. It was this feeling that made a group of CP fans fall in love with them again.
Deliberately avoiding suspicion is the same as being true!
Xu Qingye casually scrolled and saw Shen Mu. She has not been busy recently and has become active online again.
While browsing the trending searches, the doorbell rang downstairs. Xu Qingye called Yi He to open the door. Yi He hit his chair before going downstairs.
"It's Shen Mu, are you coming down?"
Yi He called out downstairs, and Xu Qingye quickly closed his computer and went downstairs.
"Why did you come here without informing me first?"
Shen Mu had a lot of bags in his hands and put them down as soon as he entered the door.
"I wanted to look for you at the end of yesterday, but you disappeared all of a sudden. So I thought I would come and look for you today. I just went to my brother's place, and I didn't see you, so I came here. I have already altered the clothes I made for you last time. I saw that you didn't seem to be interested in formal wear, so I brought two sets of casual clothes."
Shen Mu said as he took the clothes out of the bag.
"These are samples that will be available this year. They are slightly different from the official versions, but the overall craftsmanship is still very good. You can keep them and wear them."
"You're too polite. I don't have the nerve to ask for so much."
Xu Qingye felt a little embarrassed when he saw Shen Mu taking out several sets of clothes.
"It's okay. I misunderstood you before and treated you badly, so I'll take this as my apology. I've carefully observed you for a long time, and you really don't want anything from my brother, but you still take so much trouble to help him. As a sister, I want to thank you on his behalf. My brother doesn't understand the ways of the world, so he probably didn't express anything either."
Shen Mu spoke seriously, and Xu Qingye felt more guilty the more he listened. Her brother was really good at expressing himself, he was almost ready to give himself to her.
"Who doesn't want anything? The more you say that, the more you want."
Yi He listened to the two people talking and made two strange clicks of the tongue.
"Just shut up."
Xu Qingye wanted to shut up, so he glared at Yi He and quickly put away all his things.
"Want to have dinner together? It's my treat."
"No, I have to go home to eat today. Let's get together next time when my brother comes back."
Shen Mu came specially to deliver clothes. After delivering the clothes, she was ready to leave as she had some things to do later. Xu Qingye hurried to see her off. When she reached the door, Shen Mu suddenly turned around and looked at Xu Qingye.
"What did Yi He mean by that?"
"Hey, he's just talking nonsense. I'm just hoping that your brother will become famous and get more traffic."
"Yeah, I know. Let's go."
Shen Mu nodded without saying anything else. He waved to Xu Qingye and got in the car. Watching the car leave, Xu Qingye breathed a sigh of relief and walked back. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Yi He leaning on the door frame and looking at him like a bystander.
"Why are you being so weird? Just say what you want to say."
"It's nothing. I just think you didn't tell me the truth. Yesterday, besides meeting Wang Zheng, you also met Shen Que. Are you guys together?"
"Why do you care so much?"
"It's nothing. I'm just worried about you. I just thought you two were a couple, but after so long you're still dithering. It's rare to see you seem to have come to your senses. I want to wait and see the result. It's more fun to watch it in person."
Yi He looked innocent, he had no ulterior motives, he just wanted to be a CP fan. In his heart, he had already regarded Shen Que as the boss dad, if it really started, he would have to open champagne to celebrate.
"I guess so. So, do you want to give me a red envelope?"
Xu Qingye's answer was a little vague, and Yi He immediately noticed something was wrong.
"If we talked about it, we talked about it. If we didn't talk about it, we didn't talk about it. What do you mean by 'it's considered as such'? Does it mean we talked about it or didn't talk about it?"
"Well, let's give it a try first. I don't know if it's suitable, but I can't bear to give it up, so I'll give it a try first and set up an internship period."
"You guys really know how to have fun. So how long is your internship period? I'll open some champagne for you guys when my boss gets hired as a full-time employee." Yi He couldn't help but applaud Xu Qingye. Xu Qingye was truly an example of someone who didn't follow the beaten path. He was able to give someone like Shen Que an internship, which showed that he had some skills.
"I don't know. I'll just go when I feel like it. There's no real date set for it."
Xu Qingye curled his lips. The internship period was just an excuse he made for himself. Shen Que's love was too strong, he was afraid but reluctant, so he gave himself a chance to try.
"It's complicated. It's really complicated. I don't understand what you people are entangled with." Yi He shook his head. His relationship plan was relatively simple. Go on blind dates, and get married if they like each other.
"When you find someone you like, you will know. Relationships are complicated."
After a quick dinner, Xu Qingye asked @Cao Muan in the group if she wanted to go to the film city to visit the set. When she heard that they were going to the film city, she immediately posted a row of raised-hand emojis.
Cao Muan: I’ll go, I’ll go, please be sure to take me with you!
After confirming the itinerary, Xu Qingye went back to his room first, and Yi He stayed in the studio for a while before leaving.
Xu Qingye likes to sleep in, and Yi He booked a ticket for the afternoon. As soon as they got on the bus, Xu Qingye and Cao Muan each held a cell phone and giggled from time to time. Yi He sat alone in the middle and looked very bored. He wanted to go over to see what Cao Muan was laughing at, but Cao Muan put his phone away immediately.
"You're protecting me. Is there anything I can't see?"
"privacy."
Cao Muan replied and changed direction to continue playing with his phone. Yi He moved closer to Xu Qingye again. Xu Qingye did not avoid him and put his phone aside so that he could see it clearly. Yi He took a closer look and saw that Xu Qingye was reading gossip posts on the forum. It was full of densely packed words and it was enough to give him a headache just looking at it.
Yi He had no interest, so he just leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
The online leaks about Qingcheng Film and Television have already begun, but instead of directly finding a marketing account to post a Weibo post, a group of people were hired to spread the news in major fan groups.
Qingcheng Film and Television also has popular artists, but being popular does not mean that they live a good life. Qingcheng Film and Television's main leech is these popular people. After all, only by being popular enough can you make more money.
If Xu Qingye wants to start a public debate, he needs a lot of people, and the artist's fans are the best help. Some fans have actually discovered some abnormalities a long time ago, but they dare not speak out for fear of causing trouble. Some fans who have questioned it were all given hush money by Qingcheng Film and Television to resolve the issue.
Someone started talking about it, and the news naturally spread quickly. Some people submitted articles to marketing accounts, and some directly @ed the artist's agent and company. In short, the scene became a little lively.
The first wave of news released by Xu Qingye was just that Qingcheng Film and Television did not pay attention to the health of artists and scheduled announcements for artists without restraint. Last year, an artist from Qingcheng Film and Television fainted on a show. Some people have questioned the intensity of work at Qingcheng Film and Television. Previously, it was just glossed over by saying that the artists lost too much weight. This time, the schedules of several artists are overcrowded, and it is no longer something that can be glossed over easily.
Fans feel sorry for their own artists, so they naturally stood up to question the company. When there are so many people, they can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb. Some fans supported them, while a few artists stood up and made a fuss, claiming that they had been in the company for several years, working day and night to film, but only received a small portion of the money. The company also required them to bear the taxes themselves, and the money they received was almost gone after paying the taxes. There were many unfair clauses in the contract, and they had to listen to the company's arrangements. The artists had no autonomy at all, and in order to avoid owing the company money, they could only work harder and harder.
As the news spread, Qingcheng Films had to come out to explain, but the official Weibo account only released a vague statement, saying that the artists' work was all arranged according to the contract and there was no deliberate exploitation. Fans simply didn't buy what they said.
The fans quickly organized a large group of people and surrounded the entrance of Qingcheng Film and Television, demanding that their brothers and sisters be given a fair share of the profits and have their workload reduced.
Just when things were getting very unpleasant, Sun Yao's contract was exposed on the Internet. Sun Yao's contract was completely different from that of other people in Qingcheng Film and Television. His share of the profits was extremely high, and he had a high degree of freedom, which was completely the treatment that only royal family members could have.
