Chapter 77: Seventy-seven Melon Progress Bar Shen Que’s hand pinched Xu Qing…
Shen Que's hands pinched Xu Qingye's waist, rubbing it restlessly. As expected, men go to the hotel with only one purpose. Xu Qingye glared at Shen Que. He was completely a hooligan without any reason.
The kneeling position allowed Xu Qingye to look down at Shen Que. Although his face was really good-looking, he still looked like someone who deserved a beating.
"Your master, that's too much." Xu Qingye stretched out his hand and hammered Shen Que. Shen Que gasped and seemed to be in pain. Xu Qingye suddenly became a little nervous.
"What's wrong? I didn't use enough strength."
Xu Qingye reached out to pull Shen Que's clothes, and as soon as he pulled them open, he saw a bruise on his shoulder.
"How did you get hurt? Did you apply medicine?"
Xu Qingye felt a little soft-hearted when he looked at the injuries on Shen Que's body. He must have suffered a lot during the special training recently, but he hadn't mentioned a word during this period.
"It's okay. I was accidentally hit by a stick during the last training. There are a lot of fighting scenes in this movie, so it's inevitable that there will be some bumps and bruises."
Shen Que grabbed Xu Qingye's hand to stop him from looking any further. There were many wounds of varying sizes on his body, all accumulated during this period of time.
"Take off your clothes and let me see them."
Xu Qingye pushed Shen Que away and stood up, reaching out to tear his clothes. Shen Que had no choice but to take them off. It looked fine from the front, but his back was covered with bruises and scrapes. Xu Qingye reached out and touched it, and Shen Que subconsciously shrank, it seemed that it was still painful.
"You're injured so badly and yet you still want to act like a hooligan. Where's the medicine? I'll apply it on you."
Xu Qingye wanted to punch him.
"I promised you something, I won't go back on my word, I just want to hug you. The progress bar of our relationship is always in your hands."
"Bullshit, you forced me to start the game. Stop talking nonsense and give me the medicine."
Xu Qingye rolled his eyes and urged Shen Que to get the medicine.
Director Xin Yan has always been very strict and requires the actors to perform all the fighting scenes themselves. Shen Que had no experience in this area before, so one can’t imagine how hard it was for him during this period.
"Still watching a movie?"
Shen Que sat obediently and let Xu Qingye apply medicine on him, and asked carefully.
"Look, after you read it, write me a 3,000-word analysis. I'll use it to update my account tomorrow."
Xu Qingye nodded, and Shen Que suddenly felt that he had talked too much.
Xu Qingye's hands were rubbing Shen Que's back gently. His palms were warm, but the bracelet on his hand was very cold, and it felt a little strange when it occasionally touched his skin.
Shen Que had no idea what the movie was about. After Xu Qingye applied medicine on some scratches and bloodstains, he even blew on them, which made Shen Que feel itchy.
"Okay, is there any damage on the front?"
Xu Qingye sat down opposite Shen Que with a medicine box. Shen Que raised his left hand. There was also a slight scratch on his left arm. Xu Qingye simply treated it for him. Since they were all old injuries, he only needed to apply some simple medicine.
"Next time you get hurt, tell me earlier. If I didn't find out, would you not tell me?"
"They are just minor injuries. They will heal in a few days."
The special training was completely closed off, so even if Xu Qingye told others, he could only worry. Besides, he was not the only one injured, everyone's situation was similar, so Shen Que naturally did not take it seriously.
"Can you stay with me today? Just lie down like before, and I promise not to cross the line."
"That's what all scumbags say. I just rubbed it but didn't go in. Besides, I didn't take any equipment with me. I still have to shoot tomorrow."
"The power-on ceremony won't start until noon. I'll take you back tomorrow morning." Shen Que looked at Xu Qingye pitifully, like a big dog. Seeing his expression, Xu Qingye swallowed his words of refusal.
"Okay, stop playing tricks."
Xu Qingye packed up his things and sat down with Shen Que to continue watching a movie. The two chose an art film that had just been released. It had many showy long shots and beautiful pictures, but the story was a bit fragmented and became a bit boring towards the end.
Xu Qingye didn't bring any clothes with him, so he took a set of clothes from Shen Que's suitcase. He went into the bathroom to wash up, while Shen Que sat at the table and actually took out his computer to write a film review.
When Xu Qingye came out, Shen Que had already written a long page with great enthusiasm.
"Oh my god, you really wrote it down."
Xu Qingye went over to take a look. Shen Que's film review was very sharp, the kind that would cause a fight as soon as it was published.
"Excessive long shots are unnecessary, except for showing off skills and the director's personal preference. Instead, they restrict the development of the story and go against the logic of the story."
"The lyrics are deliberately mysterious, trying to create a literary atmosphere, but the effect is very poor. It can neither be completely lyrical nor completely everyday, and there is a very suspenseful feeling."
······
Xu Qingye looked at Shen Que's words. He felt that Shen Que had a talent for marketing. Every word he said hit home. After reading his analysis, the director might write a short essay overnight.
"Very good, very good. Send it to me later."
Xu Qingye quickly browsed through it, tilted his head and kissed Shen Que on the face. This top student from University A did have some talent.
Shen Que responded and continued to finish. After finishing, he sent the document to Xu Qingye.
Xu Qingye himself made some minor changes to the coloring. His original style was relatively gentle. Although this movie is really average, Shen Que's straightforwardness really offends people easily, so he has to be more tactful, and more tactful.
After finishing all the revisions, Xu Qingye used Shen Que's computer to take some screenshots and edited them. After saving the draft, he forwarded it to Yi He.
Xu Qingye: @Yi He, take a look, I asked Shen Que to write it for me.
Yi He probably didn't expect that Xu Qingye would still have time to look for him today. Looking at the content he posted, Yi He didn't even click on it.
Yi He: Brother, you two are writing a film review at this time, are you mistaken!!!
Cao Muan also showed up in the group, and there seemed to be something going on late at night.
Xu Qingye: @Yihe young people are not motivated at all and will be eliminated by society early!
Yi He: I’m sorry, my family’s wealth is enough for me to lie down for hundreds of years. I don’t need to work so hard. I advise you not to work so hard either. Do something that young people should do. Working until 11pm will affect the country’s fertility rate.
Xu Qingye: Sorry, I can’t have any more children!!!
Xu Qingye turned off the computer and curled up comfortably in the quilt. He felt sleepy as soon as he lay down.
When Shen Que came out, he saw Xu Qingye curled up in the quilt and asleep. Shen Que lay down beside him, leaned over and kissed him on the forehead.
"Good night."
Shen Que turned off the lights and reached out to pull the person into his arms. Xu Qingye was sleeping soundly and did not struggle at all. Instead, he hugged Shen Que and buried his head in his chest.
After a night of sound sleep, Xu Qingye stretched comfortably. Shen Que had already woken up. Hearing the noise, he came in and called Xu Qingye for breakfast.
"Why are you up so early? Aren't you sleepy?"
"It's OK. I've gotten used to getting up early lately, so I wake up on time."
The closed-door training in "Dawn Breaking" is exactly like military training. He has to get up early every morning to do exercises, and then learn various fighting and firearms knowledge, etc. In short, his biological clock is adjusted very accurately.
"Do you have any plans for the New Year?"
"Why? You're not asking me to go home with you, are you? I won't go. And don't tell your sister about our relationship yet."
Xu Qingye was a little wary. Chinese New Year was a critical time period, and Shen Que probably wouldn't want to take him to meet his parents.
"No, I'm afraid you'll be bored, so I'm here with you. If you have any plans, you can tell me."
Although Xu Qingye is not an orphan, his situation is not much better. Shen is indeed worried that he will feel sad being alone during the New Year.
"We should go to my godfather's place. If you want to accompany me, you can go with me. They won't say anything nonsense."
Xu Qingye thought about it and realized that he originally had no plans, but since he recognized Brother Huang as his godfather, he should go to pay him New Year's greetings. He had no plans for the rest of the time.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Shen Que nodded. He had seen the note left by Brother Huang at home. It was obvious that Brother Huang was really good to Xu Qingye. Such an elder should be respected.
"Don't mention our relationship when you go to my godfather's place. I will tell them myself later."
Xu Qingye gave another instruction, and Shen Que's eyes dimmed slightly, but he still nodded.
The crew's start-up ceremony is very particular. They will hire someone to calculate the time and place the offerings, cover the camera with red cloth, and then the main creators will burn incense one by one and then lift the red cloth to announce the official start of filming.
The crew will give everyone a red envelope to celebrate the start of filming. For a while, it was also popular to put lottery tickets in the red envelopes to give everyone a chance to get rich.
The character played by Shen Que in the play eventually died, so there was an extra red envelope for suppressing evil.
In addition to the sacrificial needs, the opening ceremony is mainly for the leading actors to make a formal appearance in front of the media.
Xu Qingye held up his photo and took photos in the crowd. There were quite a few media here today, and the crew gave out red envelopes to the media, meaning that they wanted the media present to say a few good words about them.
After receiving the red envelopes, the media were naturally too embarrassed to say bad things about the crew, so they basically said auspicious words and wished the movie a big hit.
The boot-up ceremony was quick, lasting only about twenty minutes. After Xu Qingye finished filming, he started to pack up. Just as he was about to leave, someone patted him on the shoulder.
"Dude, which company are you from? I see your equipment is awesome. Do you own it or did the company provide it to you?"
"I bought all the equipment the most. I liked it at the time, but I felt really bad after buying it."
Xu Qingye was wearing a hat and a mask, revealing only his eyes. When the other party approached him, he responded in a friendly manner.
"Zhen Hao, do you have any plans for the afternoon? We are all familiar with each other and are planning to get together. We are all in the same industry. Do you want to join us?"
The man pointed at a few people behind him, all of whom were reporters from various entertainment magazines.
"No, I have something else to do this afternoon. We'll get together again next time we have the chance."
Xu Qingye waved his hand, and the Chinese man's next meeting was almost the same as not meeting again. The other party naturally understood that he was just attracted by Xu Qingye's equipment and wanted to chat with him. Since Xu Qingye was not interested, they naturally didn't force him.
"Most likely he is some young master who has come out to experience life. That equipment costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. It will take him many years of work to make a profit."
Someone muttered, and the others echoed him. They didn't expect that being an entertainment reporter would be so competitive these days.
Xu Qingye walked around and secretly returned to the scene. He took advantage of the fact that no one was around and quickly rushed into Shen Que's nanny car. This time, in addition to Shen Que, there was also Zhao Wen in the car. Zhao Wen smiled particularly brightly when she saw Xu Qingye, and pulled him aside to chat about gossip again. Shen Que was left out.
