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

Chapter 212: Meng Bai's house collapsed, no one was injured

Hearing Meng Bai's serious tone, Wang Ou calmed down and got to the point.

"Teacher Meng, I heard that Arclight is currently selecting a lead actor for the Ghost Blows Out the Light project?"

"Yes, it has already begun."

Wang Ou asked nervously, "I wonder if there is a suitable candidate for the female lead role?"

"Yes, there are some, but we have to wait until the official audition to decide."

At this point, Meng Bai reacted and looked at her: "Why, Sister Ou is also interested in this role?"

Having been in the industry for more than a decade, Wang Ou knows very well that the most taboo thing at such times is to have an awkward attitude.

So she nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, I think I am quite suitable for this role. I hope Teacher Meng can give me an audition opportunity."

Wang Ou has been in the industry for many years, but it was not until the broadcast of "The Disguiser" this year that his popularity soared thanks to the popularity of his role, and he reached the second or third tier positions.

She knew that there would be many actresses competing for the role of "Shirley Young" and that her popularity and background were average.

The only advantage may be that because of the collaboration in "The Disguiser", I have some friendship with Meng Bai.

In fact, Wang Ou originally wanted to ask Song Zhi if he could help him "whisper in his ear" or something.

She even specifically tried to find out in advance and found out that the girl would not be participating in the performance.

The only problem is that she has never quite figured out what the relationship between Song Zhi and Meng Bai is now.

In the end, Wang Ou decided to rely on his previous friendship and fight for it on his own.

This was a decision she made after much consideration.

It wasn't just because of the lack of information, but more importantly, she had actually thought about whether she should pay something "extra" to fight for it.

Honestly speaking, for such a rare and excellent opportunity, if she could get it by really paying for it, she wasn't sure she could refuse it.

Especially when facing someone like Meng Bai, who is the type who can "sleep for free without losing out".

……

Meng Bai was not surprised at all when he heard Wang Ou's self-recommendation. When he came here just now, he had more or less guessed what the other party was thinking.

And she's not the first.

Since the project of "The Lost Tomb" was launched, many people have contacted Meng Bai through various connections, wanting to participate in this big IP with an investment of 100 million yuan.

For the top first-tier stars, they will not watch the online dramas because they value themselves. But for the actors who are about to be first-tier and second-tier, this is an excellent resource.

Meng Bai didn't have any bad opinion about this kind of relationship.

He himself had the opportunity to grow only because of his connections, and personal connections are part of comprehensive strength.

Meng Bai leaned lightly on the armrest of the chair, with one hand on his chin, and looked at Wang Ou with a scrutinizing gaze.

Since it was in a private room and there was no one else there, Wang Ou just stood up confidently.

She could see that the other party was simply considering his own image.

Just as Wang Ou thought, Meng Bai was watching and wondering in her mind whether her image was suitable for the role of "Shirley Yang".

In fact, judging from appearance and temperament alone, she is quite close.

But it's not without its problems.

One is that Wang Ou's appearance is bright and soft. With light makeup, she looks like an "intellectual big sister", and with heavy makeup, she looks like a "charming bad woman".

But no matter which style, it is somewhat inferior to the generous, bold and careful "Staff Officer Yang".

Another point is age.

Although it is not directly written in the original text of "Ghost Blows Out the Light", based on background experience, the age of "Shirley Yang" in the first part of "The Lost Tomb" should be between 25 and 28 years old.

Well - Hu Bayi is more or less a bit like the "old man seducing a young girl" character.

Wang Ou’s information is from 82, and he is 33 this year.

Although celebrities look younger if they maintain their looks, there is still a seven or eight year age difference, which would seem a bit weird.

According to Meng Bai's idea, it would be best to find an actress from the "85-90" group.

But he would not refuse directly. After all, it was not a direct decision, it was just an audition opportunity.

What if he can "break through" with his acting skills?

At least in "The Disguiser", her performance is still good.

"Okay, Sister Ou, I'll have someone notify you when the audition is ready." Meng Bai said.

Wang Ou's eyes suddenly lit up and he thanked him repeatedly in surprise.

Even though it's just an audition, it's finally a chance.

For them as actors, it is a pity that they cannot get the chance, but what is most painful is not even having the chance.

The goal was achieved, and the next step was just a simple chat and dinner. Wang Ou also asked for some suggestions on the recording of "Who's the Detective".

I looked at the time and it was almost eight o'clock.

Thinking that there were still people waiting for him, Meng Bai said it was almost time to leave.

After waiting for a while, Wang Ou's assistant came over. She was a young girl.

Wang Ou, who had drunk a few glasses of wine, had a slight blush on his face and even stumbled when getting into the car.

Fortunately, Meng Bai was quick to help her assistant support her, otherwise she would have hit the car door.

After sending the person away, Meng Bai called a designated driver and drove there according to the address that had been sent to him on WeChat a long time ago.

After going upstairs and finding the room number, Meng Bai knocked on the door.

Not long after, the door opened and Li Yitong's delicate and sweet little face appeared from behind the door.

"Click!"

The door was closed, and before Li Yitong could say anything, Meng Bai hugged her.

"You came back so early?" "Because I knew there was a silly girl waiting for me."

"Tsk, who's waiting for you?"

Li Yitong curled her lips, then twitched her nose a few times and pushed him away: "You smell of perfume and alcohol, go take a shower quickly."

Meng Bai smiled and took a few steps back. While taking off his coat, he asked, "Are you alone? Where are your assistants?"

"I said I wasn't used to living with others, so I opened another room for her."

After saying that, she saw Meng Bai walk to the wall, put his face against it, and didn't move for a long time.

"What are you doing?"

"Let's see how good the sound insulation is in this room so as not to disturb her." Meng Bai said seriously.

Li Yitong's face turned red, and she couldn't help but pick up the pillow beside her and threw it at the other party, who then caught it accurately.

"I...I booked her a room on another floor, don't worry."

"Well, it turns out that Boss Li has foresight."

"See you first, go take a shower!"

Meng Bai was pushed to the bathroom door by Li Yitong. Seeing her turning around to leave, he raised his hand, grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

"You, what are you doing?"

"Respond to the national call, save water resources, and wash together."

"I don't want to...wait, my clothes...don't look in the mirror...ugh!"

"..."

A busy night.

The next morning.

Dad, answer the phone..."

Meng Bai reached out and followed the sound, and found his cell phone.

I checked the time, it was not yet ten o'clock. I looked at the screen again, it was Hua Yan calling.

"Huahua, if you don't have anything important to say, be careful that your bonus will be deducted at the end of the year." Meng Bai yawned.

"Wow, boss, you were accidentally photographed flirting with girls. I have to inform you right away. You will be deducted from your bonus!"

"What do you mean by being photographed picking up girls? What are you talking about?"

"I sent a news report via WeChat, boss, you will understand after reading it."

When I opened WeChat, I saw the link shared by Hua Yan.

[Meeting the producer at night? The actress just became popular and her love affair was exposed! 】

Meng Bai's eyelids twitched, and he instantly became alert.

No way, was I really photographed?
Let’s not even mention which entertainment paparazzi is so bored as to film a company boss working behind the scenes.

He paid special attention when he went upstairs last night and found that no one was following him.

Meng Bai glanced at Li Yitong who was still sleeping beside him and clicked on the news link.

[On the evening of the 29th, actress W met a mysterious man. The two had dinner together and continued to interact sweetly after dinner. Before getting in the car, actress W hugged each other and seemed to have a good relationship...

Actor W recently starred in a popular spy drama and his popularity has soared. It is reported that the mysterious man is the investor of the drama and is also a well-known producer in the industry, M...】

When he first clicked on the link, Meng Bai frowned, but he calmed down after reading the first sentence.

But when he finished reading the entire "revelation", he felt no emotion at all and even wanted to laugh.

Holy crap! I was so shocked. I thought I was being photographed with Boss Li.

It turns out that it’s Sister Ou.

"Have you finished reading it, boss?"

Hua Yan's voice came from the phone: "You were too careless this time. How do you explain this?"

"What kind of explanation is that? I am your boss and I am upright. There is nothing to explain."

Seeing that it was just a "false scandal", Meng Bai immediately became righteous.

Hua Yan on the other end of the phone was stunned. She used to remind him about his "single persona", but when did he become so open about it?

Fortunately, Meng Bai explained to her what happened.

"So, we're talking about role collaboration, right?" Hua Yan looked at the news report and asked, "What's with the hugging photo?"

"It's the angle. Sister Ou didn't stand firmly when she got on the car and tripped. I held her up, so it just looked a little bit like that."

"So that's how it is." Hua Yan said uninterested.

Really, I thought I could see some gossip.

"Then boss, how should we deal with this? Should we contact Sister Wang Ou and send a statement to clarify the rumors?"

"That's fine, you...eh?"

Meng Bai's voice paused, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

Hua Yan waited for a long time, and when she saw that he hadn't responded, she couldn't help but ask, "What do you need me to do?"

Meng Bai came back to his senses: "Oh, nothing, just contact her to check the situation, it's up to them whether they want to clarify or dispel the rumors."

In fact, if we only look at it from his own perspective, it doesn't matter whether it is clarified or not.

Anyway, he is a behind-the-scenes company owner with no "public image" to speak of, so this kind of scandal is of no consequence at all.

The only thing I need to worry about now is these girls I know, and I have to explain everything to them.

Fortunately, this time I am completely "innocent" and nothing will go wrong.
