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

Chapter 233 Let’s Drive
Although it was their first meeting, Wu Jing and Meng Bai got along quite well.

At the end, they even added each other on WeChat and said they could chat more in the future.

After the investment in "Wolf Warrior 2" was confirmed, Meng Bai signed a cooperation agreement with Chen Zhixi.

"'Detective Chinatown' should be finished this month. Do you want to go and see it?"

"Forget it. There's no need for me to go anywhere right now." Meng Bai said, "I'm still shooting a project here. I have to go to the northwest in a few days."
-
Dunhuang, an abandoned factory building on the outskirts of the city.

Different from the modern high-rise buildings in the urban area, this factory compound far away in the remote suburbs seems to have been forgotten by time and still retains the appearance of 20 or 30 years ago.

“This place is fine.”

Getting off the off-road vehicle, Meng Bai looked around at the scenery.

It’s true, even if you just stand here, that strange yet familiar sense of the times immediately hits you.

“Are you sure you’ll be familiar with the eighties?”

Li Muge came over and asked, "I remember you were born in 90."

"I've seen it in old photos."

At the end of March, "The Lost Tomb" finished filming in the studio in Landao, leaving only the exterior scenes in Dunhuang.

Meng Bai called Li Muge to ask about the situation. When he heard that the crew had already arrived, he did not go to Blue Island, but followed them here.

"call out--"

A whistle sounded and Meng Bai looked to the side.

Nini, wearing sunglasses and a military coat, walked over from the side.

"Teacher Meng, long time no see." She smiled coquettishly and greeted Meng Bai.

"Are you still so cold?"

"It's low in the morning and evening here, so it's warm to wear this. When it gets hot during the day, you can take it off, and the clothes underneath will fit perfectly, which is convenient."

As he spoke, Nini took off his military coat and threw it onto the car beside him, his movements smooth and casual.

As for the clothes she was wearing, they were quite similar to what she wore during the audition.

She wore a work jacket with a tight red shirt on the upper body and a pair of tight jeans on the lower body, which wrapped her straight long legs.

This girl has a good body proportion. Although she is not curvy, she has curves.

Seeing Meng Bai looking at her, Ni Ni didn't feel shy and turned around.

"How's it going? Does it look good?"

"pretty good."

Upon hearing this, Nini couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Just like boys can't help but show themselves off in front of pretty girls, girls also have similar impulses when facing good-looking members of the opposite sex.

Knowing that Meng Bai was coming today, although she didn't think about it deliberately, she still subconsciously got up early and rushed to the scene.

Then she waited until the makeup artist and stylist finished her makeup before coming over to say hello.

It turns out that my preparation was quite effective.

Nini was thinking happily when she suddenly saw Meng Bai walking in front of her.

Before she could react, she saw the other person raise his hand and take off his sunglasses.

"Eh?"

Meng Bai stared at Ni Ni's face for a while, then said to her, "Given the era and scenes in the plot, it's too pretentious to wear sunglasses. Change to windshield glasses later."

You're talking to me about a character? That's my own look, okay!

Nini speechlessly took back the sunglasses and put them on her head: "Don't worry, producer, I will change them when we start shooting."

……

The compound where the crew is located was the factory area of a cotton mill in the early years. Of course, the original factory moved away more than ten years ago.

The remaining area has remained here because it is too far away from the city and has no development value.

Although it is of little use to the local economic development, it is perfect for the crew.

Not only can the factory itself be transformed into the "guesthouse" in the drama, but after driving onto the main road for a short while, you can go directly to Mingsha Mountain where the exterior scenes are to be filmed, which can be used as a temporary transfer station for equipment storage.

The crew settled here and started the final stage of exterior shooting. The characteristics of Dunhuang are the big temperature difference between morning and evening and the yellow sand everywhere.

The crew mainly filmed in the desert, and small sandstorms would blow through from time to time.

Although it is not as powerful as the large sandstorms in disaster movies, the dust and sand it raises are real.

Nature doesn’t care whether you are a star or an ordinary staff member; wind and sand are the same to everyone.

After a day of shooting, almost everyone was covered in dust and dirt.

The first thing the crew does when they get back to the hotel every day is take a shower.

Meng Bai felt more comfortable, after all, he rarely had to go to the scene.

But after staying there for more than half a month, all I saw every day was a sea of khaki, which became boring after a while.

As he was not very busy these few days, Meng Bai planned to take a trip to the city of Dunhuang.

First, to change your eyes, and second, you have to bring back some gifts and specialties after your trip.

After changing his clothes, Meng Bai asked the production crew for a car.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Nini when I was walking down.

"Where are you going, Teacher Meng?"

"I have nothing to do, so I went to the city for a walk." Meng Bai said, "Why are you back at this time?"

"I don't have any scenes in the afternoon, so I came back to rest." Nini sighed.

Being tired is not a big deal, the key is the wind and sand.

She felt that her face had become much more haggard over the past few days.

"Okay, then you should have a good rest."

Meng Bai said this and turned around to go downstairs.

"Hey, Mr. Meng, wait a minute!"

Nini called him and said, "It's a rare break, I'm going to go shopping too."

After saying that, she put on a bright smile on her face: "Would it be convenient for you to take me with you?"

"I don't care, as long as you are not afraid of being photographed."

"We've already come to the Northwest, there won't be any paparazzi following us here, right?"

"Do you think there are no marketing accounts or self-media in Dunhuang?" Meng Bai said: "Besides, who doesn't have a mobile phone these days?"

What is dimensionality reduction attack?

Those entertainment reporters who follow celebrities every day certainly didn't expect that it was not other media outlets that were stealing their business, but smartphones and entertainment gossip accounts.

Nini thought about it and felt that it made sense.

"Then wait for me for a moment. I'll go find some props."

Meng Bai was waiting in the underground parking lot. Not long after, a figure wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a scarf on his head got on the passenger seat.

"How is it?" Nini's somewhat dull voice came from under the mask, "Can you still recognize me like this?"

Girl, you are awesome! It would be a miracle if anyone could recognize this!
but……

"Aren't you bored?"

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

"It's a good habit. At least it can prevent the flu." Meng Bai glanced at her again, "Where's your assistant? Don't you bring him with you?"

"Wow, I'm resting now, so I have to give others a break too."

Ni Ni pulled down her sunglasses, looked at Meng Bai and said in a teasing tone: "What's the matter, Mr. Meng is afraid of being photographed, is your girlfriend jealous? Don't worry, we can go shopping separately when we get there."

"It's okay, I'm single, you can do whatever you want."

"is it?"

Nini looked at him with some suspicion, and saw that his face had a natural expression, which seemed real.

"Okay, let's drive off!"
