Entertainment: I just want to be the boss behind the scenes

Chapter 122 I am just a lurker, what can you do about it

Chapter 122 I am just a lurker, what can you do about it
"what happened?"

Seeing Song Zhi looking at his collar, Meng Bai raised his hand first and touched a long, yellowish strip of substance from the back of his collar.

"What is this?" Song Zhi looked over curiously.

"It looks like some kind of bug." Meng Bai pinched it in his hand, and then looked at the girl who came close to him. He subconsciously moved his fingers and flicked the thing in his hand over.

"ah!"

Song Zhi screamed and quickly took a few steps back, waving his hands in front of him.

"It's okay, it's just leaves." Meng Bai hurriedly explained, and showed her the remaining fragments in his hand: "Here, look."

Putting down his waving arms, Song Zhi took a closer look - it was indeed just dry leaf fragments. There were quite a few trees and shrubs planted around, so it was possible that they had been stuck there at some point.

Looking at Meng Bai with an innocent expression, Song Zhi walked to him expressionlessly and waved his little fist violently.

"You'll scare me! You'll scare me! You'll…"

I saw the small fist as big as a powder cake punching faster and faster, fully demonstrating the anger of its owner.

"Sorry, sorry, it's my fault." Meng Bai did not resist and quickly apologized: "My brain didn't react immediately, it was purely a habitual action."

When Song Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but pause.

Indeed, she was very familiar with this scene. Before they broke up, Meng Bai often used similar methods to tease her. After that, he would accept the "Iron Fist" while apologizing and comforting her.

Just like now.

If I hadn't...

Song Zhi quickly shook his head and threw the "terrible thought" that suddenly arose in his mind out of his mind.

I am a heroine who is devoted to her career, how can I go back to my ex!
When she thought of this, she immediately took a few steps back, and then said coldly: "Mr. Meng, please respect yourself. If you do this again, I will report you harassing the actresses on the crew online."

Looking at her tense little face, Meng Bai couldn't help but smile.

This sentence really sounds like what children often said when they were young: "If you do this again, I will tell the teacher."

Meng Bai raised his eyebrows, looked at her and said, "Of course you can, but the problem is that I'm a producer and I don't rely on my reputation to make a living. What can you do if you say so?"

After saying that, he took two steps forward and approached her and said, "Besides, let's not talk about harassment. I just want to seduce you, so what? Will Mr. Hou and Director Li replace me as the planner and screenwriter because of you?"

Song Zhi stared blankly at Meng Bai in front of her. The unfamiliar expression on the other's face made her a little scared.

But what he said seems to make sense. Actors or directors still need to have a good external image, but roles like producers and investors are hidden behind the scenes, and there is no such thing as an image.

Audiences may choose not to watch a drama or movie because of an annoying star or director, but I have never heard of any audience refusing to watch a drama because they hate the investor.

The same goes for the crew. She is just a small actor with no background or connections. Although the screenwriter Meng Bai does not have the power to replace her directly, he only needs to cut some of her scenes on the grounds of "plot needs", which is enough to make her drama go to waste.

Looking at the man in front of him, Song Zhi suddenly remembered what he said when they had a quarrel - "Sooner or later, no one will dare to go against my words in my play!"

Of course, Meng Bai is still far from reaching this level now, but compared with the past, he is undoubtedly on the road to realization.

But why has he become so strange now?
"clatter!"

With a crisp sound, Meng Bai snapped his fingers in front of her, waking up Song Zhi who was immersed in inexplicable emotions.

"What are you thinking about?"

Meng Bai looked at her and said, "I'm just teasing you, girl. Do you really think I'm that awesome?"

"...Ah?" Song Zhi looked up at him in confusion.

What do you mean? I'm just thinking of a paper on the relationship between success and human nature, and you suddenly tell me that you're kidding me?

Seeing her confused look, Meng Bai said, "This is not a project of Arc Light Films. I'm just a screenwriter. How can I have so much power? Besides, if someone really harasses you, go back and talk to the leader of your People's Art Theater. If that doesn't work, go to the Discipline Inspection Commission. I believe the comrades there will be happy to increase your KPI." "Iron Girl" is a serious staff member of the system. It's not that people in the system are so powerful, but many times the same thing has different nature for different people.

Seeing Meng Bai returning to his previous lazy state, Song Zhi suddenly couldn't help but let out a bright smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Meng Bai asked in surprise.

Song Zhi smiled and shook his head: "Nothing."

No one has changed, that’s great!
Although he didn't know what the girl was laughing at, Meng Bai didn't care and continued, "I'll just stay on the crew for a few days. If you don't understand anything about the script or the role, just ask. Or, you can ask Director Li and the others."

"Aren't you in the crew?" Song Zhi asked, "Returning to Jingbei?"

"Yes." Meng Bai said: "A new drama is about to be broadcast, I have to go back and check the situation."

"Is it Soul Ferry 2?"

"You are quite clear about it."

"I'm also a fan of the first season, after all." Song Zhi said, "When will it be aired? I can buy you a membership."

"Noon on the 15th." Meng Bai urged her, "Let's be generous and just buy the annual pass."

"I'm sorry, I don't have money, so I can only afford the monthly card." Song Zhi smiled slyly: "Or I can lend you my account and you can help me recharge it."

"I paid for my own show membership? Do you think I'm a movie company trying to boost the box office?"
-
Long before the National Drama Festival was broadcast, many fans of "Soul Ferry" knew that the second season would be aired this month, and they expressed their expectations under the official Weibo of "Soul Ferry".

Leshi also struck while the iron was hot and started the preheating. Not only did it release the official broadcast date, makeup photos and setting materials, it also announced that it would release the promotional song in advance.

"It can be seen that our crew is really rich for the second season. Looking at the quality of the costumes of the trio and the large number of outdoor scenes, Zhao Li must have spent a lot of money!"

"Not to mention anything else, even the promotional song was something I had never heard of during the first season."

"I see that this promotional song seems to be sung by a female lead singer. Is this what they call saving when you should save and spending when you should spend?"

"The one above, our Qinqin was a professional Kunqu opera actor, so singing is no problem, okay!"

"By the way, what does the song title 'Chi Ling' mean? It feels like an ancient style song."

"Chi means red, and Ling is an old name for an artist. Don't tell me, this song might have been written for the female lead actress."

"Looking forward to it! The official account said the promotional song will also be the theme song for the first unit story. I wonder what it will be like."

“Looking forward +1”

"..."

A bunch of drama fans and Li Qin's fans left messages in the comment section, saying that they couldn't wait to put up the promotional song.

Perhaps because of the urging in the messages, the official Weibo account of "Pendulum" finally released the full version of "Chi Ling" five days before the official broadcast.

However, what was released was not a song, but a whole video.

The official microblog of "Pendulum" introduces that this is an MV edited based on the unit plot shots and some specially shot materials. The plot is set in the Republic of China, but it does not involve core spoilers, so you can watch it with confidence.

Now everyone's interest has been piqued. A video with a plot is much more interesting than a single song.

All of a sudden, many drama fans and some attracted passers-by clicked on the video, intending to see what kind of plot Arclight Films had come up with for this promotional song.

However, what no one expected was that after watching the first shot, without even a single word of "good" being uttered, it aroused everyone's anger.

In the video, a woman in red and makeup stood on the stage, singing the lines of an opera with her beautiful features.

Opposite her, several rows of invaders in ordinary military uniforms sat on chairs with their arms and legs spread, looking at the woman on the stage with smiles on their faces.
