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

Chapter 176 Newcomer Crew

Landao, branch of No. 2 Middle School.

The school's original gate was now covered with an orange frame, and the school name on it was changed to four big characters "Zhenhua Middle School".

"Song Yun, here."

Li Yitong handed the water in her hand to her new "friend".

The round-faced girl in front of me, wearing a school uniform and looking like a high school student, is named Tan Songyun. She is the heroine of the drama "The Best of Us" and the only actor with whom she has a rival role in the crew.

"Thank you."

Tan Songyun smiled and thanked him, then took the water bottle and took a few sips. After finishing the drink and putting the bottle down, she saw Li Yitong staring at her.

"What, what's wrong?"

"It's okay." Li Yitong shook her head, and then said enviously: "Your face looks really too young, no matter how you look at it, you look no different from a high school student."

She just joined the crew the day before yesterday. When she saw Tan Songyun for the first time, she thought the crew really found a high school girl to be the leading actress.

After all, the male protagonist Liu Haoran is just a high school student.

It was not until after chatting for a few sentences that I discovered that this girl was the same age as me, also born in 90, and was three or four months older.

Especially after everyone changed into school uniforms, there was no difference between them and normal high school students.

"No, I just have a rounder face so I have an advantage." Tan Songyun smiled shyly, "By the way, after you finish shooting this scene this morning, will it be finished?"

Li Yitong nodded: "Yes, there are only a few scenes in total. It will end in the morning, and I will take a flight back in the evening. I have to go to school tomorrow."

The role she plays, "Luo Zhi", is the heroine of another book in the "Zhenhua Series". In "The Best of Us", she is more like an "easter egg" or "crossover" role.
So there aren't many scenes about her, only about four or five in total.

Because time was tight and it was arranged by the "investor", the director concentrated on filming her scenes, and it ended today.

Thinking about leaving in the afternoon, Li Yitong couldn't help but look towards the southwest - that was the direction of the "Forensic Qin Ming" crew.

Seeing her in a daze, Tan Songyun couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Li Yitong came back to her senses: "Nothing, I just suddenly remembered that a friend of mine is also in Blue Island."

"Oh, so, do you want to meet after the shoot?"

"Forget it." Li Yitong smiled and shook her head: "He... must be very busy, let's talk about it later when we have time."

I'll go back in the afternoon and decide not to bother that guy.

While taking a break, I suddenly heard a commotion coming from the crew. Not long after, I saw the "Producer Zhu" and the director walking quickly outside.

"what happened?"

The two girls stood up curiously and walked over to ask the staff.

"It seems like the producer has arrived, so the director and others went to pick him up." said a staff member of the production crew.

"Does our drama have a producer?" Tan Songyun asked curiously, tilting his head.

Li Yitong's mind moved. Wait, I remember he seemed to have said before that in addition to investing in this project, Arclight Films also served as the producer.

Thinking of this, her eyes lit up instantly.

Could it be that the guy had come? Did he know that he was in Blue Island? Or did he come here just to see him?
Tan Songyun looked at Li Yitong beside her strangely. Why did this girl always like to look at the air and smile foolishly today? She didn't have this habit in the past two days.

the other side.

"Mr. Meng, welcome to the crew for guidance."

On the green road at the school gate, Zhu Zhenhua laughed and shook hands with Meng Bai.

"Come on, brother, let's not do this anymore." Meng Bai smiled and looked at the man next to him and said, "This is Director Liu, right?"

"Hello, Mr. Meng, I am Liu Chang." The man said a little nervously.

Half of the production team of "The Best of Us" is from Arc Light's team, but the director is a newcomer.

Liu Chang looks a bit like Wu Bai and has similar experience as a director, having previously made micro-movies and short films.

"Why did you decide to come here today?" Zhu Zhenhua asked.

Although both films were shot in Blue Island, the two crews were still quite far apart, and it would take at least an hour to get there, so this was Meng Bai's first time here.

"Nothing, it just so happens that they are not too busy today, so I thought of coming over to take a look." Meng Bai said in a relaxed tone: "I am at least a 'producer', I can't just be a hands-off boss. Besides, I have some other things to consult with you, Mr. Zhu."

"Okay, just ask if you need anything." Zhu Zhenhua said generously, "Let's go to the set. It's a rare opportunity for you to come here, at least you can get to know some of the leading actors."

"Okay, let's go."

The three of them returned to the school laboratory building where the filming was taking place. It was time for the crew to take a break.

"Go and call Haoran, Xiao Tan and other leading actors to come over." Zhu Zhenhua instructed a staff member.

After a while, a boy with a somewhat childish face walked over.

"Come here, Haoran, let me introduce you." Zhu Zhenhua waved his hand and said, "This is Producer Meng."

"Hello, Producer Meng, I am Liu Haoran." The boy greeted politely.

"Hello." Meng Bai smiled and said to Zhu Zhenhua beside him, "Alas, I didn't feel anything before, but when I saw these young people, I realized that I am really old."

Zhu Zhenhua looked at him speechlessly. You are only seven years older than him, why do you act like you are two generations apart?

And if you consider yourself "old", then what are we? Half buried in the ground?
Meng Bai naturally didn't know what Zhu Zhenhua was complaining about in his heart, but he was not really "whining without reason".

Society and school have completely different speeds for human growth.

Not to mention the seven-year age difference, even when comparing a fresh graduate with someone who has been in class for a year, the generation gap is clearly noticeable.

What's more, Meng Bai deals with "middle-aged greasy uncles" like Liu Jun all day long, and his psychological age has been subtly raised.

Meng Bai was sighing here, and Liu Haoran on the opposite side was looking at him curiously.

After recalling for a while, he suddenly asked with some surprise: "Producer Meng, are you Mr. Meng from Arclight Films?"

"Do you know me?" Meng Bai asked doubtfully.

"I can't say I know you, but I've seen the video of the Soul Ferry fan meeting before." Liu Haoran said excitedly, "I particularly like suspenseful and criminal investigation stories, and I also like several of Arclight's dramas. I've always thought that it would be great to work with you if there was a chance."

Meng Bai didn't expect to find a fan when he came to the crew. He smiled and said, "No problem. We also have similar roles for young detectives in our subsequent projects of Arc Light. You can come and audition, and we may have a chance to work together."

Liu Haoran's eyes lit up when he heard this. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

But after hesitating for a moment, he seemed to have thought of something and swallowed the words he was about to say. After thanking her, he stepped aside and began to think about something.

Compared to Liu Haoran, the other leading actors were a little further away, so they arrived a step slower.

"This is Xiao Tan, Tan Songyun, our heroine. And this is Xiao Bai, Bai Jingting, who I worked with in the last drama. This time he plays the second male lead, 'Lu Xinghe'..."

Zhu Zhenhua introduced them one by one, and several people greeted him.

Finally, Zhu Zhenhua came to a girl and said to Meng Bai with a smile: "I don't think I need to introduce this girl."

Meng Bai looked over and saw Li Yitong looking at him with a sweet smile.
