A post-apocalyptic boss aspires to dominate the entertainment industry

Chapter 51

The audition information form Jiang Shuming submitted to Qin Jue contained her mobile phone number. After listening to Tang Ting's straightforward introduction and invitation, Qin Jue's first reaction was:

Isn't the male protagonist of "Daytime Rain" decided?

About a week ago, news broke that He Xu had selected a young actor and had signed a contract. After Qin Jue heard this, his mentality didn't change much. He just felt that it was a pity that the research on the character of Mo Sen was abandoned halfway. Anyway, he didn't have much work recently, so he wanted to finish it well first.

As she says, results aren't necessarily the be all and end all.

Now Tang Ting called. There were many variables in the casting and shooting of the movie. Naturally, Qin Jue didn't talk much. He sincerely expressed his gratitude and said that he could join the cast at any time.

Tang Ting was very satisfied with the fact that the young man was knowledgeable and sensible, and said with a smile: "There is no rush to join the group, we are still making preparations for the service."

Then he asked, "Xiao Qin, do you have any questions?"

"Not now, but there will be after reading the script." Qin Jue said calmly.

Tang Ting choked, he didn't mean to ask this.

"Aren't you curious why we found you?" Tang Ting followed suit.

"I'm not curious." Qin Jue said honestly.

"..."

Why doesn't this kid play by the rules?

Tang Ting's enthusiasm suddenly extinguished. He originally thought that after Qin Jue asked, he could tell her in an expert tone that in fact, the old man has already taken a liking to you, whether it was the news that the role had been decided or the past two weeks. The waiting is all to test you.

Then Qin Jue should suddenly realize, be moved, with tears in his eyes, thank the old man for his good intentions, and then...

never mind.

People are not curious at all.

Okay, I've been having a lot of fun talking today.

"Director He must have his reasons for choosing me." Seeing that it was quiet over there, Qin Jue thought that his answer was too brief, so he added.

Communication in the apocalypse has always been about talking and talking, but in modern society, it will occasionally be silent. Qin Jue also deliberately trained himself to talk more during the live broadcast.

"Ah, yes..."

Tang Ting felt as if he had punched cotton, unable to use his strength.

That's all, the old man and this little guy are both very indifferent. He is the only one who is very enthusiastic and doesn't need to be obsessed.

"Remember to report to the team. If nothing happens, we will join the team after New Year's Day in early January and be prepared." Tang Ting said.

"Understood." Qin Jue was very happy that there was another scene being filmed.

Coincidentally, Jiang Shuming's assistant Xiao Chen also called today and said that "The Cage" will be released at the end of December, and Director Jiang has reserved a spot for her at the premiere.

The time is just staggered, so there is no delay.

Speaking of "The Cage", Qin Jue rarely appears in film interviews because he has very few roles and has not signed a contract for subsequent publicity.

Even fans complained that the material was too scant and not enough to watch, but when they rushed to Qin Jue's V blog and took a look, they found that the real master was studying live, and they couldn't say anything. Instead, Qin Jue led him to become a Buddha.

The casting selection for "Daytime Rain" was not made public, and Qin Jue did not make it public. He should still read the script and write analysis.

Occasionally when chatting with fans, he would reveal that there was a scene to be filmed, so that they would not have to worry about not being able to afford food.

In ordinary daily life, another two weeks passed.

December 28th, Beijing, premiere of "The Cage".

The pure love director's first crime suspense film is quite topical in every aspect. In addition to the well-known media paid by Jiang Shuming, second-tier reporters also came uninvited.

The main creative staff, headed by Jiang Shuming and Cen Yi, stood on the stage to be interviewed and interacted with the audience. Qin Jue followed and showed his face. The whole process was very low-key, acting as a quiet and handsome backdrop.

Originally, she could not go on stage because the team of Xia Yuting, a low-profile actor, said that Xia Yuting played the role of the male protagonist in his teenage years, while Qin Jue played the role of the young boy Chi Na. Not to mention that they both had conflicts in their teenage years, Qin Jue's role was greater than that of Xia Yuting. It's unfair to have her on stage for two more shows.

"What's fair and unfair? To put it bluntly, I don't want you to steal the limelight."

Wu Ang sat in the front row and whispered to Qin Jue.

Jiang Shuming is very good at handling the requests put forward by this kind of traffic star team. Qin Jue showed his face at the opening and took a group photo. He was standing on the edge and was not in the way. When it came to the interview, he quietly got off the stage and acted as a stand-in. Audience, it's hard for Xia Yuting's side to say anything.

"What a big deal." Qin Juehun didn't care.

She has never held any C position in the apocalypse, so there is no need to argue with others about it, and she seems petty.

As a kid, it's normal to want to attract more attention.

Qin Jue looked kind.

After several sessions, the main creative staff took their seats one by one, with Lin Xiaohan next to Qin Jue and Zhao Shujing on the left.

"nervous?"

Qin Jue caught a glimpse of Lin Xiaohan's hand clenched on the armrest.

Lin Xiaohan took a deep breath, held his breath for a few seconds, turned around and nodded with a sad face.

"Even if there is something wrong, at least you know what is wrong." Qin Jue said.

These words were neither offensive nor comforting, but too real. Lin Xiaohan was amused, relaxed, and turned his head to look at the screen seriously.

The movie officially begins.

The lights dimmed, and the giant screen slowly displayed the content. First, there was the dragon logo that everyone is familiar with, and then the logo of Jiang Shuming’s team.

In the darkness, after a pause, a small crackling sound penetrated the audience's ears, and a little fire appeared in the picture.

After a few seconds, the flames burst out!

A young man in pajamas suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed, covered in cold sweat, holding his forehead with one hand and breathing heavily and irregularly.

The screen suddenly went black and the sound stopped.

In the dim light and shadow, burning flames and flying ashes flowed and floated, faintly forming two words -

Cage.

…

"Huh! That's enough!"

The screen lit up, showing the Qingcheng Police Station sign. The camera continued to follow. In the duty room, the man who had just appeared was wearing a police uniform. He wiped away the non-existent sweat and smiled while holding two A4 papers filled with words. The paper was tossed.

"You, it took a long time to complete such a report."

The girl opposite him rolled her eyes, took the report and said angrily.

While flipping through the report, I vaguely saw a few lines: Ji Sheng, a community police officer from the Qingcheng Police Station, rushed into the fire scene on X month X...

"Chen Yue, that's what you said." The young man, Ji Sheng, slumped in his seat and shook his legs, saying with a playful smile, "It's so embarrassing to praise yourself! I'm such a thin-skinned person, huh?"

Finally, he raised his eyebrows frivolously and winked.

"You can be poor."

Female colleague Chen Yue blushed, glared at him slightly, stood up and handed in the report.

Ji Sheng watched her go away, yawned, and lay down on the table.

"That's what it is." He murmured in a low voice, "I'm just passing by to save people. You can't say how brave or great you are."

"Remember to come back soon——"

Ji Sheng's posture did not change, and he shouted lazily toward the door in a long voice, with half of his face pressed on his arms, and his eyes gradually closed.

The familiar crackling sound came again.

"Listen to me, hurry up...!"

Under the blazing fire, the anxious voices of men and women blended together, making it difficult to hear the content.

——Ji Sheng frowned in his sleep.

There were noisy and chaotic sounds, fires were flying into the sky, and explosions were heard one after another!

"ah!!"

The sharp screams pierced the eardrums!

Ji Sheng opened his eyes!

He fell down from the chair in the duty room of the police station. The sound was so loud that Chen Yue stood up in shock.

The policemen in the next room also poked their heads in.

"This kid is fishing again."

Policeman A said casually with a hint of mockery.
