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

Chapter 153 What is "Shura Field"?
Meng Bai had never really expected that Li Qin would know about the relationship between Song Zhi and himself.

After all, no matter how creative his imagination was, he could not have imagined that the source of the information was an "eavesdropping" more than a year ago.

"I……"

Li Qin was speechless. She had just thought this in her mind, but she didn't expect to say it out loud.

"I just found out by chance when I was learning about it before."

Seeing Meng Bai staring at her, Li Qin tried hard to look natural.

"That's it."

Meng Bai sighed and his tone changed: "Oh, I never thought that Teacher Li would go to get to know me."

"Ah I……"

"By the way, Mr. Li, you haven't always been secretly in love with me, have you?"

"what?"

Li Qin opened her eyes wide and looked at Meng Bai, who at this moment had an expression of "So that's it".

"Who, who has a crush on you!"

"So you know me specifically?"

"I told you, it was accidental! I found out by accident."

"Subconscious attention... ugh!"

Li Qin let go of the hand that was pinching Meng Bai and walked forward angrily.

In fact, she knew that this guy was teasing her on purpose, but she just couldn't help but want to "refute" him.

Unfortunately, he was suppressed by Meng Bai's "adaptive" style of play and had no idea what to say. He just let him "misinterpret" his meaning however he wanted.

What's more, not all he said was "misinterpretation".

Although it was already night, there were still many people coming and going in the actors' apartment, most of them were actors from other crews who had just finished filming night scenes.

Li Qin put on sunglasses and a mask. This outfit would definitely be eye-catching in other places at night, but it was perfectly normal here.

When I walked out of the building, I saw the assistant waiting outside.

"I'm going back."

Li Qin threw down a sentence and was about to get in the car, but after hesitating for a second, she turned around and looked at Meng Bai behind her and said, "Go back early. It's too cold at night. Be careful not to catch a cold."

"Don't worry, the coat is very warm." Meng Bai said, "The filming will officially start the day after tomorrow, come on."

"Don't worry, we are well prepared."

Li Qin imitated his tone and replied, then she couldn't help laughing again.

After laughing, she looked at Meng Bai with a smile and said, "We are going to work together again. Please take care of me this time, Mr. Meng."

"Then I wish our cooperation will go smoothly this time as well."
-
A day later, Li Qin officially joined the crew and started filming.

Compared to Wang Yuejun, it may be hard to say who is better in acting, but in terms of appearance and temperament, Li Qin is obviously better.

At least now "Cheng Jinyun" and "Yu Manli" are standing together, so it makes sense for the male protagonist to choose whomever he chooses.

Different from the various cheongsam outfits of "Yu Manli", "Cheng Jinyun"'s style is more conservative, mostly cloth coats or small dresses.

So when Li Qin and Song Zhi stood together, one was cold and the other was beautiful; one was dignified and the other was charming, they were very eye-catching.

What surprised everyone in the crew the most was that the two girls seemed to have a good relationship and they were always laughing and chatting with each other every time they met on the set.

But every time they played scenes together, especially those where they "argued because of the male lead", their emotions were extremely real, sometimes even making people suspect that they were really arguing.

Of course, everyone just described it this way. After all, once the filming was over, they returned to their normal state.

Li Xue attributed this to the fact that Li Qin, under the guidance of Song Zhi, got into the role quickly, which led to such a wonderful "reaction" between them.

By the way, he also encouraged the other leading actors to "move" along with the rhythm of the two girls.

Therefore, under the "leadership" of the two of them, the other actors also became serious and put their best efforts into the filming.

The result of this is that the crew's filming progress was greatly accelerated.

Several twists and turns in the past caused the filming progress of the "Mingtai Line" to stagnate for a time.

According to Li Xue's estimation, the shooting time for the entire project would take half a month longer than originally planned.

But with this wave of collective prominence, the date that needs to be extended has been shortened by at least one week.

Every day the crew finished filming earlier, they could save a day's cost. This saved a lot of budget money, which made director Li Xue very happy.

For this, he praised the two girls highly, and other people in the crew also praised their "tacit understanding" in cooperation.

In response to this, Li Qin and Song Zhi naturally responded modestly while expressing their gratitude to everyone.

Only when no one was paying attention could the two of them see some hostility in each other's eyes that only they themselves understood.

Oh, actually there was another person who noticed it, but he cleverly chose to ignore it.

Half a month has passed in a flash, and the crew of "The Disguiser" has finally ushered in the last plot in Hengdian.

After filming this big scene, the scene in Hengdian can be declared completed.

At that time, everyone will move to the film and television base in Shanghu and meet up with the "Minglou Line" personnel to complete the final filming.

The last scene is the one that Meng Bai had previously scolded as "brain-dead", "Saving the Labor Camp: Where are my Manzi?"

Of course, this plot has already been rewritten by Meng Bai according to the logic of "normal humans". The biggest change is the character "Cheng Jinyun".

This time, she is no longer the "saint bitch" who secretly changes the action plan and searches for her child all over the mountains alone. Instead, she is a mature soldier who can calmly analyze the situation on the scene and draw her gun to fight the enemy.

However, due to "plot needs", she ended up injured and unconscious, which led to the later plot where the male protagonist took care of her and quarreled with his "rival in love".

In a small wooden building, Li Xue checked the preparation status of each department.

"This is the last set of shots. Everyone should be more serious. Let's get off work early and have a rest early." Li Xue said to everyone.

"Come on, let's make a bet." Meng Bai also shouted at the side: "If you finish work before five o'clock, Director Li and I will treat everyone to a dinner. If you finish work after five o'clock, the dinner will be the same as before, but everyone has to treat both of us. Is there anyone who dares to follow?"

"Count me in, count me in." Hu Ge, who had just finished putting on makeup and walked upstairs, joined in the fun, "Director Li, Teacher Meng, and I, the three of us will treat everyone together."

Naturally, all the leading actors and staff members of the crew participated. In any case, there was a big meal.

As for "treating" the three of them, no one took it seriously at all.

There are about a hundred people in the crew, and if we share the expenses of three people, the average cost per person may be less than one dollar. It's just for fun.

In fact, the crew had originally prepared a dinner party when the filming was completed, but Meng Bai just added a little bonus to it.

"He's still so good at doing favors." Song Zhi muttered on the side.

Li Qin beside her asked calmly: "Why, was he like this when he was in school before?"

"That's about right. He went out for dinner with our acting department before. He was originally a non-staff member, but... "

Song Zhi was halfway through his speech when he suddenly realized something, stopped reminiscing, looked at Li Qin and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

"Just curious." Li Qin said calmly.

"Haha." Song Zhi laughed dryly.

I was almost tricked by this girl. The "nostalgia card" is one of my trump cards, so how could I let her know about it?

"Is everything ready here?" Li Xue walked over and asked.

"Okay."

"No problem, Director."

The two girls responded.

"Okay." Li Xue arranged the camera positions, lighting and sound, looked at the two girls on the viewfinder screen, and said, "Come on, all teams get ready. 3, 2, 1, start!"

In the antique room, Li Qin and Song Zhi stood facing each other across half a table.

After they looked at each other, Li Qin spoke first: "Do you want to talk to me?"

Song Zhi said in a stern tone: "What is there to talk to you about?"

Li Qin: "It seems you don't want to talk?"

Song Zhi: "I've wanted to talk to you for a long time."

Li Qin: "So what do you want to talk about?"

Song Zhi: "Don't you know what I want to talk about?"

……

I don’t know if it’s because of the last scene, but the two girls’ emotions were particularly high.

Even passers-by who don’t know the plot can feel the tense atmosphere.

"Yeah." Li Xue looked at the performance of the two through the viewfinder and nodded with satisfaction.

As expected, the rivalry between these two girls is the most impressive. It always feels a little off when acting with other people.

If Meng Bai, who was standing by, knew about Li Xue's doubts, he would definitely tell him with certainty that the missing point is called "sense of reality".

He wiped a cold sweat in his heart. When he wrote this line, he could not have imagined that it would be so perfectly suited to the current situation.

Fortunately, the filming was not a coherent plot, and the camera position and actor positions needed to be adjusted from time to time.

Otherwise, if these two girls continue to quarrel like this, it is hard to predict whether they will really get angry in the end.

Meng Bai comforted herself that once they arrived in Shanghai, there wouldn't be many scenes between the two of them, so she wouldn't need to worry then.

While he was thinking about what would happen next, the filming was coming to an end.

"Mingtai" was listening to the quarrel between the two women in the room from outside the door, so he pushed the door open and shouted, "What are you two doing? You have nothing to do."

After looking at each other, Song Zhi showed a sarcastic expression, then walked to the door, pushed away "Mingtai" who was blocking the way with his shoulder, and walked out.

"Well, you're sick."

"Mingtai" covered his chest and just muttered a word when he was violently knocked away again by Li Qin who came over from behind.

"OK, snap!"

Li Xue shouted "It's over."

"Wow, you two really rammed that hard?"

In the center of the set, Hu Ge covered his chest and said sadly to Li Qin and Song Zhi beside him.

The two girls hurriedly apologized, then looked at each other, and then looked at Meng Bai who was hiding behind the surveillance camera.

Looking at Hu Ge who was "accidentally injured", Meng Bai suddenly felt that his prediction seemed a little too optimistic.

How about taking advantage of the crew's relocation opportunity to hide away?
