Chapter 105 The Studio

Shen Qingye left the hotel where Xi Wen was staying. The night was bitterly cold and the leaves on the roadside were slack. He walked aimlessly for a long time, his blood was blown through by the cold wind. to the airport.

On the second day, Shen Qingye's confession and Xi Wen's response had already made the headlines of the major entertainment media.

Meng Changyun flipped through the pad, swipe one after another, with great interest, "Look at these media reports, one is more sensational than the other, what courtship is not successful, because love breeds hatred, you are so miserable, it is like a modern version of Qin Xianglian, and Like an abandoned puppy, pitiful and affectionate. The public opinion turned around and overwhelmingly supported you. After such a disturbance, I feel that your popularity and evaluation have increased instead. They all feel that you are a victim. Xi Wen was scolded to death , Said he was playing with feelings, dude..."

"Don't mention him." Shen Qingye's eyes turned cold, and he interrupted abruptly.

His house was recently surrounded and the hotel was not safe, so he went to Meng Changyun to hide.

Meng Changyun blinked and covered his mouth exaggeratedly.When Shen Qingye came to him, it was three o'clock in the morning. He said he couldn't go back and wanted to borrow a room, but he didn't say anything when he asked him. He was covered in cold mist and lost his mind.Serve him with tea and water, and wait for him to stay, as if welcoming a great Buddha into the house.Horrified that something had happened to him.

"How long do you plan to stay?" Meng Changyun yawned, and poked the soft-boiled egg on the plate, "First of all, I don't mean to drive you away. I'm going abroad in a week, so if you're willing to stay and watch the house for me also."

Shen Qingye returned a message on his mobile phone, and put down his long overlapping legs, "I can't go over there, I'm looking at the house, and I plan to buy a set, it probably won't be that fast, and I'll bother you for a while."

Meng Changyun said nonchalantly, "Yes, then you can take care of my house at ease." After thinking about it, he added, very uneasy, "But you won't be too sad because of a broken relationship, and you will seek death here? I don't want to change If it becomes a haunted house, it will be discounted."

Shen Qingye raised his eyelids, expressionless, "You'd be too talented if you didn't become a screenwriter."

Meng Changyun swallowed the broken eggs, and said with a smile, "No, I don't worry about you living alone. I feel that you are not in the right state recently. You can either ask someone to come over to accompany you. Or I can call two for you. I have The little sisters in the orchestra really like you."

Shen Qingye was annoyed, "Forget it, I'll go book a hotel."

Meng Changyun stopped him, "Oh, I'm just kidding. Don't be so serious, I can really drive you out?" He wiped his hands, put Shen Qingye's shoulder, "You have so many things this time, your agent Do people ignore you now?"

Shen Qingye said, "The contract has expired."

Meng Changyun asked, "Hey, didn't you say June last time? I thought they would squeeze you to the last moment."

Shen Qingye stirred the oatmeal in the bowl, and then said, "There will be a TV series in the future, which will start in March, not the main character. This period is Chi Xiao's publicity period, so there are not many announcements."

As expected, Meng Changyun said, "Sure enough, I thought you could take a break. Since you are no longer in Huanyu, have you discussed contracts with other companies?"

Shen Qingye paused, and then said frankly, "I want to open my own studio, and the team is almost formed."

Meng Changyun was taken aback, "Why do you suddenly want to do it yourself?"

Shen Qingye said, "I had this idea before, but I was afraid that my foundation would not be solid, that I would not be able to stand up, and that I would be sorry for those who came out with me, so I hesitated for a while, and then contacted several media companies, and finally decided to Try it yourself. When the studio finds its position, you can recruit some talented young people and help them make their debut."

Meng Changyun understood what he meant, "You must be very tired at the beginning like this. You are not only marketing yourself, you want to build a platform and build a ladder for others. With your current popularity and reputation, you don't need to do this step at all. You are now You can get someone to give you money when you are lying down, so why bother to do such a thankless thing? After you make it, some people say that you are too ambitious and mercenary. If you can’t do it, you have to mend the hole yourself. Sign a contract with high benefits and good treatment, and be your first brother comfortably."

Shen Qingye said lightly, "The water in the entertainment industry is too chaotic. I don't want the young people who just came in to be like bored flies, bumping into the wall too hard, and depressed. At least let talented and potential people have a fair place to compete, How far they can go is up to them.”

Meng Changyun withdrew his hand, stared at him for a long time, and then sighed, "You say you, how can I tell you how you are?"

Shen Qingye looked back at him, "What's wrong with me?"

Meng Changyun said, "When I was in school, why didn't I think you were so broad-minded and helpful to the world?"

Shen Qingye smiled for the first time, "You can read Chinese well, and you can use some idioms that are not commonly used."

Meng Changyun's family immigrated abroad a long time ago. He and Shen Qingye were classmates in foreign music colleges. Meng Changyun played the violin. After graduation, he signed into the orchestra. After staying for two years, he didn't like this rigid way of playing and life without changes in rules. , regardless of his family’s objections, he resigned and came to China. He has not signed any company since he came here. He is a free man, but he has won several awards, has some fame, can receive many commercial performances, and occasionally guides students.

"Speaking of which you are building a team, I have contacted an agent before. He is quite nice and has experience. He just lost his job recently. Do you want to take a look?"

Shen Qingye said, "If you think it's possible, it should be good. Do you have any contact information?"

Meng Changyun smiled, "You know that person too, I'm afraid you may have scruples."

Shen Qingye asked, "I know you?"

Meng Changyun nodded, "Bai Xiaoyi, Xi Wen's manager in the past, Xi Wen has retired. He was going to the TV station, but he only found out that he was a part-time worker. He was a little unhappy and wanted to leave all the time."

Shen Qingye thought for a while, and then said, "That's good, I've had contact with him, he's a nice guy, and he's also excellent professionally."

Meng Changyun asked gossipingly, "Are you really not avoiding suspicion at all?"

Shen Qingye said indifferently, "One size counts for another size, there is no need to affect this kind of thing."

Meng Changyun asked again, "What's the matter with you two? It feels like he made you very angry, but you rarely do this, and you were obviously sticky before."

Shen Qingye didn't want to say any more, he still couldn't face Xi Wen, just hearing his name felt depressing.He never thought it would end up like this, whether it was hatred or disappointment in his heart, too complicated emotions were entangled, and he couldn't tell the difference.

The next day, he made an appointment with Bai Xiaoyi to come out to meet, Shen Qingye told him his idea, and was willing to give him the position of big manager, and the salary was also very generous, Bai Xiaoyi was happy and grateful.Before leaving, Bai Xiaoyi suddenly said, "Brother Qingye, do you know that Brother Xi Wen is sick?"

Shen Qingye paused, his voice suddenly turned cold, "His business has nothing to do with me."

Sensing that his tone was wrong, Bai Xiaoyi thought about all kinds of news in the news media, and asked cautiously, "You... really broke up?"

With a cold face, Shen Qingye answered simply, "Yes."

Bai Xiaoyi sighed, "Why? You two are so compatible, you don't know how much Brother Xi Wen likes you."

Shen Qingye said, "There are some things you don't know."

Bai Xiaoyi was hoarse. He couldn't say much about the relationship between the two of them. He lowered his head and packed up his things and was about to leave, but he was a little bit unwilling, "Didn't I just say that brother Xi Wen was sick..."

Shen Qingye raised his eyes and looked at him, "Huh?"

Bai Xiaoyi said, "Do you want to go and see him? It seems to be quite serious."

Shen Qingye hesitated for a while, but still asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"It's been reported in the news that he was operated on illegally by a doctor, and that doctor was arrested. Brother Xi Wen is still in a coma."

Shen Qingye frowned, "Coma? What surgery?"

Bai Xiaoyi wrinkled his face in distress, "I didn't say anything specific, it seems to be related to the brain, I couldn't get in." He turned a piece of paper from his bag, took a pen to write the address, and handed it to Shen Qingye, "Are you free?" Go and see him, the situation is not very good, although he is not life-threatening, but he has not woken up."

Shen Qingye took the paper hesitantly, and looked down at the words on it.When he raised it again, his face was expressionless, his hands were clenched, and the paper was crumpled into his palm.

After Bai Xiaoyi left, he left the restaurant alone, and when he passed a trash can on the side of the road, he threw the paper into it.

In the afternoon, he made an appointment with Liu Feng to chat about the studio.

He and Liu Feng actually had no major conflicts. After all, they had been working together for almost ten years. Before Shen Qingye told Liu Feng about his idea of ​​doing something, Liu Feng was very tempted, but he couldn't make up his mind.Later, Shen Qingye chatted with him alone, and Liu Feng finally agreed.

He brought a group of people from Huanyu to cooperate with Shen Qingye, and rented an entire floor of an office building in the city center.Taking advantage of Shen Qingye's presence during this time, he wanted to meet up first to get acquainted with the team.Although Shen Qingye, the recruiter, had read the materials, it was the first time for him to sit down and hold a neat meeting like this.

Shen Qingye ordered some milk tea snacks in advance to be delivered to the office building.A small team of 12 people in total, everyone is very young and active during meetings, Shen Qingye doesn't have much airs, and quickly got along with each other, listening to their self-introduction one by one.Liu Feng made a final speech to set the direction for the development of the studio and describe the blueprint. Everyone expressed their opinions and brainstormed.

Shen Qingye didn't talk much, once everyone chatted about a certain issue for a while, and they got off topic in a hurry, Shen Qingye looked out of the window in a daze for a while.It was raining a little outside, and the rain was slanting down. People were hurrying on the street, and a few fallen leaves were blown by the wind, spinning in the air.

Liu Feng called him, and he came back to his senses.

Liu Feng joked, "Qingye, what are you thinking about? You've been absent-minded all afternoon."

Shen Qingye lowered his head and pinched the bridge of his nose, then raised his head and said to everyone, "It's okay, I think it's getting late, why don't I invite everyone out for a meal, and chat while eating."

Unknowingly, this meeting has been going on until late at night, and everyone is hungry. Some people say to eat barbecue, some want to eat hot pot, some say to eat seafood, and some joked that since the boss treats guests, he must have a good meal , pick an expensive place that you can’t usually afford to go to.Shen Qingye didn't have any objections, just let them do as they pleased.

After dinner, Shen Qingye didn't drink and sent Liu Feng back.

"Are you tired recently?" Liu Feng said suddenly on the way.

"Okay, why do you ask that?"

Liu Feng hesitated to speak, "You just ran a red light..."

"..."

"I wanted to remind you, but you didn't slow down." Liu Feng smiled, "I see that you are a bit in a trance today. Just now, those children were playing tricks on you, and you ate the sashimi with a lot of wasabi without even looking at it." , no reaction at all."

Shen Qingye laughed for a moment, "No wonder, it seems that the taste is not quite right."

Liu Feng tilted his head, "What's going on? Is it because you are reluctant to leave Huanyu, or are they making things difficult for you?"

Shen Qingye said, "Nothing, it's not like I don't even have this kind of tolerance."

Liu Feng raised his head back and closed his eyes, "Thinking about it, Mr. Du may not have much time to take care of you recently, and he can't even take care of his own mess."

Shen Qingye asked casually, "What's wrong with Mr. Du?"

"Don't you know? He had a big quarrel with his nephew a while ago and split up the family property. But recently that Xi Wen was hospitalized, and he rushed over there again, and kept guard for two days." Liu Feng sneered. He said, "I really raised an ancestor."

The vehicle slammed on the brakes and stopped on the side of the road, "Is he really hospitalized?"

Liu Feng was quite surprised, "You really don't know? There was a big news a while ago."

Shen Qingye tightened his hand holding the steering wheel, then turned his head and said to Liu Feng, "Take a taxi and go back, I have something to do."
