A post-apocalyptic boss aspires to dominate the entertainment industry

Qin Jue opened his eyes suddenly, his heart beating rapidly.

A strong feeling of nausea rose up in her throat. She propped her body up and retched several times to one side, holding her throat with one hand.

After waiting quietly for more than ten seconds, Qin Jue stepped on his slippers and slowly walked to the full-length mirror.

The young man in the mirror looked pale, with a trace of saliva around his lips, his nose twitching, and fear remaining in his eyes.

She remembered this expression along with a heavy heart.

After a while, Qin Jue leaned forward and touched his forehead.

She wiped her lips clean, gasped weakly, and whispered:

"Qin Jue is very happy today."

"Qin Jue is very happy today..."

…

At the end of November, Qin Jue took Zhang Ming to Ni Province.

The Dragon Kingdom has a vast territory, covering the entire Asia. Just like the United States is equivalent to the Americas, the Dragon Kingdom, which is composed of dozens of ethnic groups, is also synonymous with Asia.

Ni Province is one of the provinces of the Dragon Kingdom and is mainly home to the Yamato ethnic group. Like the Earth in the parallel world, the Dragon Kingdom experienced a period of war, but the time and details were different, which also affected the land area and number of provinces.

"Wow... I haven't been to Ni Province before. It's really like what I saw online!"

Zhang Ming couldn't help but sigh as he walked on the street.

As a new province in modern times, Ni Province has a unique culture that has evolved over a long period of time. It has its own flavor in terms of architectural style, language and clothing.

"Daytime Rain" is also adapted from Ni Sheng's novel. Although the original work was written in Mandarin Chinese, Qin Jue still added some of Ni Sheng's local language and combined it to understand the original text.

In fact, the matter of Mr. He Xu's reappearance and casting for a new movie caused a stir as early as October. Countless media and paparazzi tried to find out the news and visited every film and television base in the country, but they did not expect that Director He would set the casting location in a small town in Ni Province.

Jiang Shuming bit Qin Jue's ear and said that Mr. He was a real artist and had a bit of a weird temper, but his attitude towards film and television was first-class, so that she didn't have to act like a junior and was open and generous. It’s good to express yourself freely.

Qin Jue and Zhang Ming arrived at the place three days in advance. One of the principles taught to her by the end of the world is to respect and be relieved for force majeure. As long as she does her best and has no regrets, it is enough, so there is not much psychological pressure.

She had seen Director He's interview and knew that with the director's vision and status, he would never engage in unnecessary unspoken rules and interests. So even if she was not selected, the only reason would be that she was not strong enough or was not qualified. Qin Jue can accept both of these points to adapt to the role.

The residence is a B\u0026B in Senranding. Qin Jue has the master bedroom and Zhang Ming has the second bedroom. The bathroom and bathroom are separated, so there is no need to worry about privacy issues. Qin Jue has no make-up and is not a troublesome person. Every time Zhang Ming brings food with him at public expense, he never chooses what to buy and eat. This makes Zhang Ming very embarrassed and feels like he is the one being taken care of. Qin Jue flicked a chestnut on his forehead.

It's so fun to tease kids.

Qin, who is over fifty years old, is a very happy boss.

He Xu's staff sent an email informing them of the specific audition location and time. On the day of the audition, Qin Jue got up early. He didn't read the script or mess with the look like he did the previous two days. He just turned on his phone and read again the interview Director He had accepted not long ago.

The person doing this interview is a well-known host from Long Country, and her sharp and precise language style is one of her characteristics.

She asked: "Does Mr. He have any requirements for the casting of this movie?"

He Xu in the video is well-maintained, with slightly white hair on his temples and a serious smile.

"Young one." He said slowly, his attitude unquestionable.

"Oh? Young? Do you want to try a new style, and the audience is the contemporary young group?"

He Xu laughed twice, neither happy nor angry, and did not answer the question directly.

"Today's actors, those who are good at acting and have qualifications, just hold on to their resources. They have acted in good dramas and movies, and they pretend that they can't see clearly whether they are suitable or not.

"Actors in their forties and fifties are clearly of age and temperament to play the role of family and country. Instead, they play young boys and girls in their teens and twenties. Haha, they don't know how to choose the role, what kind of status, what kind of demeanor, that's the point No self-knowledge? I see, there is no self-knowledge, it’s just that you can’t bear fame, wealth and status!”

These words were pungent and sharp. If he hadn't reached He Xu's position, he might have caused a lot of trouble if he said them.

The host was also a well-known speaker with a high status, so he was not afraid and said with a smile:

"Mr. He leads by example and wants to discover some outstanding young actors?"

He Xu sneered: "The old actors are in charge of the good shows, and the young ones who are not good in the show are just showing off their faces in the show. The two sides are not in conflict with each other, and they have cultivated a group of stratified audiences. The high-quality audiences have no drama to watch. The entertainment is poor and the audience of poor quality applauds and is done watching.”

"If people in their teens play twenty-somethings, what should young actors who can act, dare to act, and know how to act act? Bad scripts are everywhere. Look at what the audience has been trained to do now!

"It's always said that actors are in short supply. The good ones were all in the last era, but actors don't have a good environment, mature and plump characters, and scripts with logical, self-consistent and moving plots, and they can't perform well!"

Mr. He snorted heavily.

If it weren't for the fact that things in the past few years have become less and less readable, how could he, an old guy who retired at home, come back to the world!

"The TV series is too bad, the movie is too bad, the program is too bad. They all say it's the screenwriter's fault, the director's fault, the TV station's fault." He Xu became angrier as he spoke, "Fart! It's all the audience's fault!"

"When talking about war, we cannot face the cruelty of war and emptyly promote justice and victory; when talking about people, we must give up philosophical thinking and do not talk about fate or soul! When talking about love, we cannot talk about love, cannot write about love, and cannot act about love. The plot is all about the family's instigation of procreation; it's about two people falling in love, there is no sexual tension, no beauty, only a deep and heartfelt love without any pretense!"

He Xu sneered:

“I would like to ask the audience, why do you want to watch this kind of crap!

"It is precisely because the audience's requirements are too low and the aesthetic pattern is as small as a grain of rice. As long as the picture is passable, they will either praise it excessively or look at it with cold eyes. Therefore, those who produce programs, TV series, and movies are content with the status quo and just make money!

“People who make this kind of money are so shameless!

"The audience that praises this kind of person to the sky is even more shameless!

"Everyone is shameless!"

He is half a hundred years old, but his body is still strong and full of vitality.

"If things continue like this, what will the cultural and entertainment environment of Dragon Kingdom look like!"

He Xu had really endured these words for too long, and now he cursed them freely, still angry.

Qin Jue held the phone, pulled back the progress bar, and looked at it again.

This was very satisfying to her, and it made her feel comfortable all over.

Indeed, no matter it is a peaceful society or an environment like the end of the world, people who do not understand the overall situation abound.

In the end of the world, people who care about themselves and only care about petty profits will most likely be severely beaten by natural disasters and man-made disasters. In a harmonious society, people live in peace and are immersed in a bizarre new life. People who do not have a certain state of mind, in a warm environment It is difficult to realize the big picture and start from the overall situation, let alone a sense of honor, mission and responsibility.

You can't even understand it personally, let alone the higher and more distant matters of family and country?

When Qin Jue spoke frankly in the live broadcast room, some people were still joking and laughing with enthusiasm, as if any serious matter could become a "meme" in the public's mouth, turning solemnity into a joke, and ignoring social reality. , to create the illusion of happiness.

Isn’t it ridiculous to entertain yourself to death?

Zhang Ming's knock on the door interrupted Qin Jue's thoughts. She looked up and saw that it was seven o'clock in the morning.

The audition time was at nine o'clock. Qin Jue asked Zhang Ming to wait at the B\u0026B. He went downstairs alone and walked to the small building not far away.

She saw many people wearing sunglasses and masks, some with only two or three people following them, and others who looked like their parents were sending them off to school and wanted to drag the whole family with them, for fear that others would not know that they were here for an audition.

Qin Jue walked into the building like a passerby and nodded in return to the girl who stood at the door and bowed to her.

Walking through the hall and passing by a few people, she heard the woman wearing heavy makeup whispering quickly and quickly:

"Listen up, this is Director He Da. It's hard for him to cast a young actor. It doesn't matter how he plays. If you can work with Director He once, you won't have to worry about not being famous in your life!"

Qin Jue turned around and naturally passed by the elevator and took the stairs.

He Xu said it right at the end of the interview. Some people won't understand even if you point your nose in front of them and educate them.

If you are obsessed with profit, you will do nothing.
