The Supporting Male Character Just Wants to Be a Tool Man
TN: So I just realised that recently I have been using eating melons instead of the actual eating melon seeds, so you see this, theyâre 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. Donât 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 didnât expect much from Han Chengâs 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 âEphemeraâ, the box office has easily broken 1.2 billion. The screening in theatres is increasing, and the reputation of passers-by is growing. âEphemeraâ 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 âEphemeraâ can reach 1 billion during its release, it was enough accomplishment. But now, only five days later, âEphemeraâ has already reached 1.2 billion, and the box office is still rising.
Zhou Mian looked at Shen Qingshu in surprise, âXiao Shen, you are amazing. If things go on like this, we will definitely be the champion of this yearâs 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.â
Shen Qingshu hurriedly said, âZhou ge, please donât say that. Iâm a first time producer who didnât know anything. Itâs all because of your guidance, Iâm the one who is thankful.â
Zhou Mian smiled and said, âHey, letâs not be polite. Great people donât speak obscurely. If you become a producer again and you canât do it alone. Donât forget to find your Zhou ge.â
âOf course,â 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.
âThank you, Zhou gw. When the film is released, I will keep my word and give you an extra split.â
âNo, no need,â Zhou Mian quickly refused. âWhy do you still say such words? Now that âEphemeraâ has achieved so much, do I still care about this?â
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 doesnât 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 didnât 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 Qingshuâs persistent efforts to invite Mei Ruo and his success, he finally realised that he was serious.

Heâs not casually playing around. Heâs 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, âEphemeraâ 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 Ruoâs 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 didnât 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, âI was lucky.â
âWell, letâs see if those people can still gossip about you, but wonât we have a fight this year?â
âYes,â said Mei Ruo, âI donât know who will win or lose.â
âHahahaha.â Director Zheng said confidently, âOf course I will. Your cinematography is really good, but itâs still far from me.â
Mei Ruo thinks he is as narcissistic as always, âIâll see you then.â
âSee you soon.â
Meng Zhi also called Shen Qingshu and congratulated him on his first success as a male lead.
âYou 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.â
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 Zhiâs affirmation and embarrassed because it felt like he was the creator of the test while simultaneously the test taker.
âThank you, Meng ge. I will continue to work hard.â
âAlright, see you at the award ceremony.â
Shen Qingshu nodded, âEn.â
Whether or not âEphemeraâ will be nominated for the same award as âPlundering Timeâ will. He is a member of the crew ofâPlundering Timeâ, so they are destined to meet at the award ceremony.
After calling Mei Ruo, Director Zheng called Shen Qingshu. He laughed several times, âXiao Shen, youâre so awesome. You were so successful during your first time as a producer.â
Shen Qingshu hurriedly responded, âPlease donât tease me.â
Director Zheng laughed, âBut donât be too arrogant, you should continue to work hard.â
âI know.â Shen Qingshu said seriously, âThank you for recommending director Mei Ruo to me at that time, otherwise I wouldnât be here today.â
âHey, donât mention it, itâs all mutual. Iâm 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.â
A smile appeared on Shen Qingshuâs face, âThen you are indeed a good director.â
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 âCome and listen to meâ 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 dayâs 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 didnât 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 Chaoruiâs 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.
Thatâs 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 doesnât have much room for development.
Moreover, he has played Su Qing now. With the film âEphemeraâ, 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 thereâs 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.
âThis is the invitation from a magazine and other brand activities, you should have a look.â Zhou Jianming told him.
âOkay,â Shen Qingshu agreed.
âAnything else? Do you still want to participate in a variety show?â Zhou Jianming asked him. âYou 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?â
âThis time they are all broadcast variety shows, not online variety shows.â Zhou Jianming added.
Shen Qingshu looked curiously, stopped suddenly, stared at one of them, inspecting it carefully.
âAsk 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? â
Zhou Jianming almost immediately understood, âDo you want to record with Han Cheng?â
Shen Qingshu nodded.
He is planning to go to Han Chengâs home for the Spring Festival this year. Shouldnât he improve Han Chengâs 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.
âWell, donât you need to ask young master Han first?â
âI do.â Shen Qingshu said calmly, âBut donât you have to ask the program team first? Otherwise, if the program team doesnât allow it, but I already asked Han Cheng, isnât this just letting him look forward to it for nothing? â
âAlright, Iâll ask later, but I think it will be allowed. You are so popular now, and they definitely want your traffic.â
âThatâs naturally the best.â Shen Qingshu said, âOtherwise I wonât participate.â
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!
