CFJTM Chapter 176. “Do they have to be within the circle, or can they be normal friends? “

TN: So I just realised that recently I have been using eating melons instead of the actual eating melon seeds, so you see this, they’re eating melons seeds not melons lol.

Shen Qingshu secretly looked through the super talk for a while, seeing all the details that people had picked up on him and Han Cheng. There is sugar here, and then there is sugar there. He thinks they are worthy of being gourmets, they can taste sugar in everything.

Some people even hope that he and Han Cheng will act in his campus romance as well. My god, Shen Qingshu thought, Han Cheng is not an actor. Don’t you forget? He is just an amateur!

Besides, Su Qing and Cheng Han in that novel are in high school. He and Han Cheng graduated from University several years ago! They are already past the appropriate age, okay ? !

However, this is also good. Shen Qingshu thought that at least he and Han Cheng now have CP fans. Therefore his fans will not be too surprised when the official announcement is made in the future. These cp powder will also help them speak, which is beneficial.

In fact, he didn’t expect much from Han Cheng’s five minute screen time in his first movie at the beginning. However, netizens surprised him.

Sure enough, is beauty the biggest driving force of CP?

Shen Qingshu smiled and exited weibo happily.

On the fifth day of the release of “Ephemera”, the box office has easily broken 1.2 billion. The screening in theatres is increasing, and the reputation of passers-by is growing. “Ephemera” seems to be the biggest dark horse of the summer, with the lofty standing of a king.

Shen Qingshu and Zhou Mian had fantasised about the box office performance of this film before, but they never dared to imagine such a high level. In their opinion, as long as “Ephemera” can reach 1 billion during its release, it was enough accomplishment. But now, only five days later, “Ephemera” has already reached 1.2 billion, and the box office is still rising.

Zhou Mian looked at Shen Qingshu in surprise, “Xiao Shen, you are amazing. If things go on like this, we will definitely be the champion of this year’s summer season, and you and I will definitely be included in the movie box office list. I am really thankful for being lucky enough to rub off of your glory.”

Shen Qingshu hurriedly said, “Zhou ge, please don’t say that. I’m a first time producer who didn’t know anything. It’s all because of your guidance, I’m the one who is thankful.”

Zhou Mian smiled and said, “Hey, let’s not be polite. Great people don’t speak obscurely. If you become a producer again and you can’t do it alone. Don’t forget to find your Zhou ge.”

“Of course,” Shen Qingshu said with a smile.

He is really grateful to Zhou Mian, who is responsible for both investors and the general direction of publicity.

Zhou Mian was even the first to propose that Bai Xuege should play Chen Ai.

He is really a reliable senior. He will seriously reason with you and help you find the balance between art and business.

knowing that he was a first time producer and that he was not very good at socialising, he took care of the majority of socialising. After socialising, Zhou Mian would still listen to himself saying which investor was okay, but that investor was not.

Shen Qingshu feels that he has learned a lot from him, so he is grateful to Zhou Mian.

“Thank you, Zhou gw. When the film is released, I will keep my word and give you an extra split.”

“No, no need,” Zhou Mian quickly refused. “Why do you still say such words? Now that “Ephemera” has achieved so much, do I still care about this?”

With respect to the reputation and box office of Ephemera, when he becomes a producer of other films in the future, will he not be able to attract investment and actors?

This is the best reward!

Compared with the bright future, Zhou Mian doesn’t care about those dividends that are short term benefits.

Since Cen Yueze told him about this project, he knew that Changle must attach great importance to Shen Qingshu, otherwise they would not allow a new actor to be a producer. This was a clear exception!

So at the beginning, he didn’t pay much attention. He just wanted to perfunctorily accompany the prince to study, telling him where the book is and how to read it. But Shen Qingshu was respectful and polite to him, had passion and enthusiasm for this project and took everything in and took everything to heart.

After Shen Qingshu’s persistent efforts to invite Mei Ruo and his success, he finally realised that he was serious.

He’s not casually playing around. He’s working hard to make a good movie.

Looking at him, Zhou Mian felt the motivation and momentum.

He is the soul of this project. Without Shen Qingshu, “Ephemera” would not be where it is today.

He smiled and patted Shen Qingshu on the shoulder, calmly.

was a hit at the box office, and word-of-mouth also exploded. In just a few days, the actors and actresses of the entire crew received varying degrees of attention.

Shen Qingshu has naturally gained the most from this. As the male lead and producer, he has undertaken the largest amount of firepower in the early stage. Now, his box office reputation has blossomed, his acting skills and film production abilities have been recognized, and he naturally attracts the most fans.

The second is Bai Xuege, whose performance was wonderful and successfully transformed as an actor and broadened his acting path. Not only attracting fans, but also showing everyone the potential of his acting skills.

Yao Lu, on the other hand, became well known overnight. She was already beautiful. Under Mei Ruo’s camera she was gentle and lovely before the truth was revealed, like a small white flower. She was calm and full of aura when the truth was revealed, becoming the goddess of many people.

Cui Hao didn’t get as much attention as Shen Qingshu, Bai Xuege and Yao Lu because his role was as important. However he also successfully raised his sense of existence to let more people know about him and attracted many passers-by fans.

As for Mei Ruo, this is her film with the highest box office. She won a lot of prizes, but not many high box offices, so she was also very happy.

Since Qin Mo released two popular word-of-mouth movies within half a year, her net worth has risen. Before the movie was released, someone called to invite her to be a screenwriter.

Director Zheng was very happy for his old classmates and called to congratulate Mei Ruo.

Mei Ruo smiled, “I was lucky.”

“Well, let’s see if those people can still gossip about you, but won’t we have a fight this year?”

“Yes,” said Mei Ruo, “I don’t know who will win or lose.”

“Hahahaha.” Director Zheng said confidently, “Of course I will. Your cinematography is really good, but it’s still far from me.”

Mei Ruo thinks he is as narcissistic as always, “I’ll see you then.”

“See you soon.”

Meng Zhi also called Shen Qingshu and congratulated him on his first success as a male lead.

“You were amazing, and your acting skills have also improved very quickly. To be honest, I am a little astounded by your progress. If I were you, I would not be able to play the role of Su Qing so well. Shen Qingshu, you indeed belong in this industry.”

Shen Qingshu was proud and embarrassed to hear him say so. He knew that the biggest reason why he could play Su Qing so well was that he was the author of Su Qing, so he already had an in-depth understanding of Su Qing.

Therefore, he was both proud of Meng Zhi’s affirmation and embarrassed because it felt like he was the creator of the test while simultaneously the test taker.

“Thank you, Meng ge. I will continue to work hard.”

“Alright, see you at the award ceremony.”

Shen Qingshu nodded, “En.”

Whether or not “Ephemera” will be nominated for the same award as “Plundering Time” will. He is a member of the crew of”Plundering Time”, so they are destined to meet at the award ceremony.

After calling Mei Ruo, Director Zheng called Shen Qingshu. He laughed several times, “Xiao Shen, you’re so awesome. You were so successful during your first time as a producer.”

Shen Qingshu hurriedly responded, “Please don’t tease me.”

Director Zheng laughed, “But don’t be too arrogant, you should continue to work hard.”

“I know.” Shen Qingshu said seriously, “Thank you for recommending director Mei Ruo to me at that time, otherwise I wouldn’t be here today.”

“Hey, don’t mention it, it’s all mutual. I’m also happy that you have good achievements now. When people talk about you, they will also mention my movies, saying that I am a good director and have a good eye for discovering talents.”

A smile appeared on Shen Qingshu’s face, “Then you are indeed a good director.”

Director Zheng was in a jovial mood and chatted with him for a while, then hung up the phone and went to care about Qin Mo. After all, he has too many acquaintances in this crew!

Shen Qingshu has received congratulations from the actors he worked with over several days. A few familiar friends who participated in “Come and listen to me” with him at that time, also gave him WeChat blessing.

Ran Xing even directly sent him a photo of her reserving all the seats in a theatre along with the ticket stubs, which can be said to be very generous.

Experiencing this, Shen Qingshu suddenly felt that the world was so wonderful.

He met a lot of lovely and righteous people, so the world felt loving and gentle to him.

He seems to have fallen in love with this world.

He thanked his friends one after another and was in a good mood preparing for the next day’s work.

With the popularity of the film, Shen Qingshu was getting more and more invitations.

Many movies and TV series scripts have been sent over, and surprisingly some are even well-known directors.

However, Shen Qing didn’t rush to decide on his next project. Some of these scripts are good, but most of them were male supporting roles with no tension.

When he wrote Ephemera at that time, his initial inspiration was Hou Chaorui’s role. He thought that the role could have more room to play and a better ending. However, in order to highlight the main character played by Meng Zhi, he was weakened.

That’s why he wrote Chen Ai, a character with a complete story line, tension, individuality and room for development.

Therefore, he does not want to play a role that doesn’t have much room for development.

Moreover, he has played Su Qing now. With the film “Ephemera”, which has a good word of mouth and high box office, many people will pay attention to his next work. If he does not select well, it will definitely disappoint many people.

So Shen Qingshu is not worried about filming now. He has the ability to make his own movies. If there’s nothing he likes, he will write another novel for himself and adapt it to the big screen.

He has succeeded once, so he dares to try a second time.

Shen Qingshu returned all the scripts and only accepted a few endorsements and interviews.

“This is the invitation from a magazine and other brand activities, you should have a look.” Zhou Jianming told him.

“Okay,” Shen Qingshu agreed.

“Anything else? Do you still want to participate in a variety show?” Zhou Jianming asked him. “You are so popular now. Variety show directors are coming one by one. I have received seven or eight invitations. Do you want to see them?”

“This time they are all broadcast variety shows, not online variety shows.” Zhou Jianming added.

Shen Qingshu looked curiously, stopped suddenly, stared at one of them, inspecting it carefully.

“Ask the director, the part about recording guests inviting a friend in the circle as a partner to participate in the program recording together. Do they have to be within the circle, or can they be normal friends? “

Zhou Jianming almost immediately understood, “Do you want to record with Han Cheng?”

Shen Qingshu nodded.

He is planning to go to Han Cheng’s home for the Spring Festival this year. Shouldn’t he improve Han Cheng’s parents favorability of him?

Better let them see how good he is to Han Cheng on the variety show!

That way, they might be more accepting of him when the time comes.

“Well, don’t you need to ask young master Han first?”

“I do.” Shen Qingshu said calmly, “But don’t you have to ask the program team first? Otherwise, if the program team doesn’t allow it, but I already asked Han Cheng, isn’t this just letting him look forward to it for nothing? “

“Alright, I’ll ask later, but I think it will be allowed. You are so popular now, and they definitely want your traffic.”

“That’s naturally the best.” Shen Qingshu said, “Otherwise I won’t participate.”

Let him eat and live with others for three days and two nights, and stay together all the time. Even if the other party is Bai Xuege, Han Cheng will probably drink a jar of vinegar.

He understands his boyfriend too well!
