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

Chapter 241: A gathering of friends, with family members

Meng Bai naturally recognized Liu Yifei.

The most popular flower among the "85 Flowers", the first of the "Tang Poet Immortals", the head of the "Wooden Fairy" acting school, and the most diligent female lead in Chinese entertainment literature...

Although her status and popularity have been somewhat awkward in recent years due to the continuous failure of her movies, she is still "top-notch" among young actresses in terms of popularity.

After all, who hasn’t thought about going to Xianling Island to peek at Ling’er taking a bath when they were a kid? Ugh, it’s about being Ling’er’s “Xiaoyao Brother”.

Ke Liming had finished introducing Meng Bai's identity. Liu Yifei looked at him curiously and stretched out her hand first, saying, "Hello, Mr. Meng."

"Hello, Miss Liu."

Meng Bai shook hands politely, his attitude was polite and calm.

Childhood memories are just childhood memories after all, and there is no need to transfer your fondness for the character to real people.

What's more, Liu Yifei now has the temperament of a mature woman, which has nothing to do with those roles before.

Therefore, Meng Bai simply said hello and didn't say anything else.

This was his true thought, and it was definitely not because someone was staring at him intently.

Meng Bai turned around and raised his eyebrows at Li Qin - I'm talking about you, girl, keep looking!

Li Qin was caught by his sudden gaze and hurriedly looked away, pretending to say "I didn't do anything".

"Who is this……"

"No need to introduce this, Mr. Ke." Meng Bai said with a smile: "I have worked with Teacher Li many times before."

After saying that, he looked at Li Qin: "Right, Teacher Li."

"Ah, yes."

Ke Liming gently adjusted his glasses and said suddenly, "Yes, I almost forgot. The first online drama "Soul Ferry" was co-produced by you guys!"

Theoretically speaking, the first online drama in China was "Crazy" which aired in 2007. Although almost no one has watched it, it is indeed a finished film and television drama.

However, in the industry, the mainstream view is that 2014 is the "first year of online dramas."

Naturally, the first drama broadcast, "Soul Ferry", became the pioneering work in the online drama market.

This title has no real use, but it is a reflection of one's status in the underworld.

From now on, whenever there is a discussion involving the "history of the development of online dramas", this drama and Arclight Films are destined to be unavoidable.

Seeing that Meng Bai and Li Qin looked familiar with each other, Ke Liming smiled and said readily: "Since Mr. Meng has an acquaintance, there is no need for me to introduce him. There are still some things to do at the ceremony, I will go and take a look."

After watching the other person leave, Meng Bai looked at Li Qin again with a serious expression on his face: "Teacher Li, I'll trouble you from now on."

Although he said so, his tone was full of sarcasm.

Li Qin had a stern face and seemed serious, but the smile that she couldn't help but smile revealed her true emotions.

It happened that the main actors of the movie were sitting together, so she briefly introduced Wu Fan, Jin Shijia and Li Meng.

Meng Bai didn't care much about them. He nodded and walked away.

He didn't take it seriously, but his attitude made some people unhappy.

One is Jin Shijia, who is now full of sourness and jealousy, but he is powerless.

I am just a small supporting actor, while he is someone that the big boss of the investment company has to accompany in person. The gap is so big that I can only feel helpless.

Even without mentioning status or anything like that, just looking at the way Li Qin looked at others was pure torture to herself.

Jin Shijia was jealous, while Wu Fan next to him was unhappy.

Although he didn't know Meng Bai, he knew Ke Liming. Anyone who could make this capital owner so enthusiastic must be a big shot in the circle.

He considers himself to be a very popular star with countless fans. Last year, he even made it into the Beijing circle by collaborating with Guan Hu and Feng Xiaogang on the film "Mr. Six".

He is not a powerful figure, but he is also a well-known figure.

He originally wanted to say hello to Meng Bai and get to know him, but he didn't expect that he was ignored and just brushed him off.

"Fuck! Pretend to be a bitch!"

Wu Fan cursed.

His voice was not loud, and the people around him didn't pay attention, so no one heard it.

Except for Meng Bai, who had his back to him and was relatively close to him.

Subconsciously looking back, Meng Bai looked at Wu Fan, who gave him a provocative look. "Heh."

Meng Bai grinned, snorted, moved his lips slightly, and turned back without even looking.

Although the other party barely made a sound, Wu Fan still recognized the classic lip shape at a glance——

Stupid.

"Fuck!"

Wu Fan only felt a surge of anger rising up, and he really wanted to curse out loud.

But after holding it in for a long time, he still couldn't hold it back.

This is a public place and I'm a celebrity. If I really do something, I'll definitely suffer.

What's more, he has been at the center of controversy recently because of the condemnation from his sex partner, a girl named "Xiao G". He has to keep a low profile at times like this.

If Meng Bai was also an artist, he could mobilize his fans or something. But he is the big boss behind the scenes, and he is totally out of reach.

Although he was very angry, there was really nothing he could do.

While Wu Fan was sulking, Meng Bai had already put the matter behind him.

He is just a traffic star, a mass product on an assembly line, a puppet manipulated by capital. It is really not worth his while to remember him.

If you have that energy, you might as well tease Teacher Li.

"Do you still need to attend the roadshow after the movie?"

"No need for a roadshow. This movie is mainly about the male and female protagonists, so they can just go." Li Qin said, "But during the release period, they must participate in some promotional programs."

After that, she asked again, "By the way, didn't you say last time that your detective movie was also in the summer season? When will it be released?"

"Don't worry, our movie will be at the end of the month, which is just in time for your movie."

It’s no secret that Ruyi Pictures is quite good at entertaining people. This year, they have two summer movies, one in July and the other in August, which just cover the entire schedule.

However, Li Qin was not concerned about the movie schedule.

"You are the screenwriter, do you also have to do publicity?" she asked Meng Bai.

"No, I'll just attend the premiere. Director Chen, Haoran and others will also be there."

As a film and television practitioner, Meng Bai is well aware of the importance of publicity, but also knows the boredom of publicity activities.

Especially things like roadshows, which involve visiting a dozen cities, repeating similar content and answering similar questions in each city.

In addition, you have to travel from one city to another every day, which is not as comfortable as sitting in the office and giving orders.

When Li Qin heard Meng Bai say that she didn't need to go on the roadshow, she immediately became happy.

"I moved to the north of Beijing some time ago. When I have time next month, would you like to go and have a look?"

"Hey, what a coincidence."

Meng Bai laughed and said, "I was just about to say that. I moved to a new house recently and was planning to find a few friends to come over to help attract more people. Teacher Li wouldn't refuse to come, right?"

Li Qin didn't rush to answer, but asked first: "Friends? Who are they?"

"Actually, there is no one else, just Lao Zhang and Bai Yu."

Meng Bai spread his hands. He had lost contact with his old school friends a long time ago, and now these two were the only ones he was on good terms with.

It just so happens that Li Qin knows them all, so there’s no embarrassment at all.

Sure enough, Li Qin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the name of the inviter.

"Okay, let's go to your place together when the time is right."

After saying this, she felt a little happy.

It’s not just because of Meng Bai’s invitation, the more important thing is that he took the initiative to add himself to the circle of friends.

Whether it is a boy or a girl, this represents a kind of recognition.

"Oh, there's something I forgot to mention."

Meng Bai looked at Li Qin's curious eyes and said with a smile: "I told them to bring their families with them this time."

"what?"
