The Supporting Male Character Just Wants to Be a Tool Man - Chapter 138

CHAPTER 138. HE SAID, I CAN’T BEAR TO PART WITH YOU.

TN: Omg I slept 12 hours on my day off, that’s literally half a day (°ｏ°)

Shen Qingshu wanted to reject the offer, but he didn’t reply instantly, just said: “[I’ll think about it.]

Goldfish: [well, just give me a reply before this Friday.]

In drunk dreams, light up the oil lamp and admire the sword: [OK.]

After Shen Qingshu replied to them, he sat on the bed and thought about working as a producer.

In fact, he is still not very familiar with this role. He only knows that producers need to find directors, writers, actors and be responsible for the affairs of the crew. But he does not deeply understand the responsibilities.

So he called Zhou Jianming.

Zhou Jianming listened to his question and said, “Why are you asking this?”

“Just tell me.” Shen Qingshu said, “you know right?”

Zhou Jianming: …

He has been involved in the entertainment industry for so many years. Of course, he knows what a producer should do and how to do it. But he is not a producer after all, so he can only give Shen Qingshu a general idea.

Shen Qingshu listens but still feels unsure.

Han Cheng saw that he had been thinking about this all night, and it affected his appetite. So when he went to work the next day, he called Cen Yueze.

“Go and help him.” He said, “he doesn’t have deep contacts in this industry. Your company has also produced several movies before, and there are professional producers. Just bring him with you.”

“How do I bring him?”

“Isn’t that simple?” Han Cheng thought that he was really stupid. “Tell him you’re optimistic about him. Contact him later and say that he is popular and on the rise. The company thinks highly of him, so it wants to customise a TV series or film for him. Ask him if he has a favourite IP. If so, the company will spend money to develop this IP, if not, the company will help him choose one.”

Cen Yueze understood, “then he would say that he has ​​an IP in mind, so I can logically ask him which one it is, and buy it to develop it, right?”

“That’s right.” Han Cheng said. “Before he goes, I will tell him to negotiate with you, to ask for 50% of the deceiding power. Of course, this is what I will say to him. In fact, you need to give him 80% of the deceiding power, so that he has the right to choose the director, screenwriter and actor. When he arrives, you pretend to discuss with him, agree to his requirements, and then find a responsible producer to guide him. He is a novice now, and doesn’t know the ropes. It’s very normal that he does not know what to do. At this time, you need to find someone to help him and bring him into this trade. Surely, I don’t have to teach you the rest.”

Cen Yueze was curious. “Why do you go through all this trouble? Just help him directly. If you want to find someone, there’s no one you can’t find. Do you still need me to cooperate with you in this play?”

Han Cheng looked out of the window. Under the office building with a height of more than a dozen stories, the figures of people were like ants. But these people constituted a complex and changeable society that continues to this day.

“I can’t be the only one in his life forever.” Han Cheng whispered.

“I have occupied a very important part of his life, but he can’t only see me every day. You should know that the affirmation and help from outsiders is never the same as the affirmation and help from his loved ones. Just like when you were at school, you won’t be excited by your parents’ praise, but you will certainly be happy because the teacher praises you in front of others. He is the same.”

“For him, I will always love him, stand beside him, believe in him and support him, so he has become numb to my praises.”

“He needs to feel some of the goodwill of the world, not only mine, but also that of others. I hope that when he opens the window, he can see passers-by beckoning to him, and people passing under his window lifting their heads and smiling at him. If those people return kindness to him, he will naturally love the world more.”

Cen Yueze was stunned for a moment, as if he had never imagined hearing these words.

He seldom heard people say this. Among the lovers he met, there were those who played tricks, exchanged interests, and sincerely loved him. But none like Han Cheng, who hoped that the whole world would return goodwill to the person he liked.

For a while, he was silent. After a long time, he said, “Shen Qingshu is really lucky to meet someone who loves him so much.”

“How do you know I’m not lucky?” Han Cheng asked back.

He looked at the sunshine outside the window. The weather in September was both hot and cold. It was cloudy a few days ago, but now it is sunny. He was bathed in the sunshine and felt that he was the luckiest one.

He was lucky to meet Shen Qingshu and love him.

“Contact him later. I’ll pay for the funds Changle needs. If you earn, we’ll split 3:7 in your favour. If you lose money, I’ll take full responsibility and won’t let you suffer.”

“Good.” Cen Yueze responded.

He hung up the phone and shook his head with emotion. He still remembered that when they were at school, many people liked Han Cheng, but Han Cheng was already famous at that time. There were always people who liked him, and because of his romantic and amorous name, they dared not approach him. However, who would have thought that under that reputation, he was actually more devoted than anyone else.

For so many years, he hasn’t seen Han Cheng like anyone, only Shen Qingshu, only him, is unreservedly and seriously favoured by Han Cheng.

“How enviable.” Cen Yueze said softly.

He picked up his mobile phone and called Shen Qingshu, asking him to come to the office this afternoon.

Shen Qingshu looked at the phone hanging up in his hand and felt puzzled. What’s the matter with his boss?

However, it’s lucky that he is looking for him at this time. If he had called earlier, he might not have received the call.

——Shen Qingyu was afraid that his mobile phone had a positioning function, so he threw his mobile phone away the day he was kidnapped.

The mobile phone in his hand was newly brought. Han Cheng asked his secretary to buy it.

Shen Qingshu looks at his mobile phone, where his Wechat keeps sending notifications. After sending replies to important people, he went to see his SMS mailbox.

In the nearly two days when his old mobile phone was turned off, there were many SMS messages.

Shen Qingshu opened it. The first is sent to him by father Shen. He felt a little strange. What was there for Father Shen to message him about?

After opening, he found that this message was sent by mother Shen with father Shen’s mobile phone.

It was sent in the early morning two days ago. She said that she had recorded her confession and reassured that she didn’t protect Shen Qingyu. She was sorry for what happened today. In the future, neither she nor his father would bother him.

Mrs Shen: [However, if you need it in the future, you can come to me at any time.]

Two hours after this message was sent, a message followed.

[And me.]

Shen Qingshu guessed that it should be sent by father Shen. He probably saw his wife’s text message, so he followed it.

However, he doesn’t need their help anymore, so it’s unnecessary.

Shen Qingshu didn’t reply. Then he saw the text message sent by Han Cheng after he disappeared earlier.

Han Cheng: [QingQing, are you ok? Why don’t you answer wechat or the phone?]

Han Cheng: [QingQing, please reply to me.]

Han Cheng: [QingQing, please give me a quick reply when you see this.]

Han Cheng: [QingQing, your mobile phone prompts that it has been turned off. I guess something should have happened to you. If you can turn it on now and see this message, don’t panic. I’m already checking your location. Believe me, I can get there soon.]

Han Cheng: [QingQing, nothing is more important than life, so you must live. Understand? No matter what happens, you can solve it as long as you are alive. I want to see you. I want to see you alive.]

Shen Qingshu looked at this and felt a little sad. He almost unconsciously replied to Han Cheng: [I know, I’ll be fine. I’ve just started dating you, and I can’t bear to part with you.]

Han Cheng was discussing the relevant industry information of the Yan Family with his assistant. Suddenly, his mobile phone rang. He opened it and took a look. Instantly, he was stunned.

He just remembered that on the day Shen Qingshu disappeared, he sent him many messages. He was afraid that he would have an accident, that he would be afraid alone, that he would suffer torture, and that he would commit suicide.

He held onto the one in ten thousand chance and hoped that he could see the information, know that he was on his way, and know that he would come to him soon.

He didn’t want Shen Qingshu to reply to him. He just wanted to make him feel at ease.

Now, Shen Qingshu replied to him. He said, I can’t bear to part with you.

Han Cheng suddenly felt that these were the most beautiful love words in the world.

Shen Qingshu’s reluctance is his precious wealth.

He quickly instructed his assistant and others to sort out the industry the Yan family had recently set foot in and what Yan Jiayu was doing. Then he turned off the computer and prepared to go home.

He was reluctant to give up his lover, so he wanted to go home and hug him.

Unfortunately, his lover had already left the house by this time.

Shen Qingshu went to Cen Yueze’s office as promised. He didn’t dare to be careless this time. Even though Shen Qingyu had gone to jail, he still called a bodyguard to accompany him to the company.

Cen Yueze got straight to the point and said directly to him, “I checked recently. In the past six months, you have been the fastest rising artist in the company and the most profitable artist to the company. You are Han Cheng’s boyfriend, so I am sure you are more rest assured than others. In addition, you are really popular now, so I want to consolidate your popularity and status.”

“Do you have any favourite types of drama? The company can help you choose an appropriate IP to further your development, so that your popularity can be maintained. But correspondingly, you need to add one or two people from the company to your drama, understand?”

Shen Qingshu doesn’t just understand. He knows it too well!

As the boss of the company, he has an eye on the overall situation and wants to maximise his interests, which is inevitable.

Who doesn’t want to make his company topclass, so once one of them makes a splash, he will definitely add other artists to their new work, so that other people can also rub the heat.

This was also mentioned by Han Cheng and Cen Yueze when they talked about the division, so Shen Qingshu had no opinion.

What he is more concerned about than this is that Cen Yueze said that he would help him choose an IP for further development.

“Can I choose anything?” He probed.

“As long as you like it.”

“TV series or movies?”

“Our company produces a lot of dramas, but if you want to make a film, you can also choose that. The work with you and Meng Shi is already in the late stages. It should be released at the beginning of next year if there is no accident. I remember your performance in it is quite good, so if you want to develop in the film industry, then it is indeed the best way to tailor a film for you.”

Shen Qingshu thought that this was like someone handing him a pillow when he was dozing off. Yesterday, he was still worried about what a producer would do. Today, he met a saviour.

“I want to make a movie.” Shen Qingshu said, “however, I want to invest with the company.”

Cen Yueze was surprised. “There is no need for this. The company considers you comprehensively and doesn’t need you to pay.”

Shen Qingshu shook his head. “I am willing to take risks with the company, and I am also willing to invest in this film. I can even help this film attract other investments. If you want to push in the company’s actors, I have no opinion. I just hope you can promise me one thing.”

“What do you want?”

“I want to be the producer of this movie.” Shen Qingshu said seriously, “I may not be able to bear it alone, so I am willing to make this play with other producers of the company, but I want to have the qualification to choose roles, including director and screenwriter. I don’t want any other rights. Even if it earns money in the end, they can receive more than me. I just want to have this right.”

At the same time, I can steal a teacher.
