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

Chapter 243 A Flower Under the Willow Tree
Beijing Film Academy, dormitory of the Performance Department, class of 13.

With a bang, the dormitory door was opened and a girl rushed in.

"Wow - finally alive!"

Feeling the coolness in the room, the girl who came in put the things in her hands on the table, then stretched her limbs and leaned back in the chair, sighing with a look of comfort on her face.

"Close the door, Xu Jiayu, you've let out all the cool air in the room!" the roommate shouted.

"Ah, sorry sorry."

Xu Jiayu quickly stood up, closed the door, then turned around, opened the bag on the table, and took out a box of cut fruit from it: "I bought some watermelon, do you want to eat it?"

"Here it comes!" The roommate on the bed hurriedly got up from the bed, picked up a bamboo stick, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

"You're in such a hurry. No one's going to snatch it from you." Xu Jiayu said helplessly, and turned to look at another girl in the dormitory, "Ziyi, don't you want to eat?"

"Wow, thank you. But I'm going to go out later, you guys eat."

Meng Ziyi, who was called, responded with a smile, and then continued to draw his eyebrows.

"She has spent the whole morning putting on makeup. She must have some important audition. Let's not waste her time." The roommate in front of me said in a sarcastic tone.

Xu Jiayu frowned, pulled her and signaled her not to say that.

Meng Ziyi on the other side seemed to have not heard any other meaning at all, and continued to explain: "There is no audition, I just need to go out to meet someone."

"Meet someone?" Xu Jiayu's eyes lit up and he moved a chair next to her. "Who is it? Why are you dressed so carefully? Your boyfriend?"

"No way." Meng Ziyi denied, "It's a... distant relative."

"Relatives?" The roommate on the other side asked suspiciously, "What relatives? Do you have to take it so seriously?"

"All relatives are the same. You have to look pretty when you go out."

Meng Ziyi replied casually, then looked in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, I look really good."

"..."

Xu Jiayu and his roommate fell silent at the same time after hearing this.

When I first met Meng Ziyi in my freshman year, she was dressed in a well-off family and had gained the title of "Beijing Film Academy Campus Belle" based on a military training photo. Everyone thought she was a strong and scheming person.

But after three years of contact, I found that this girl is naive, has a common personality, doesn't use her brain in daily life, and is a little narcissistic.

But she was lucky. She got her first drama when she was in her sophomore year, starring Lin Gengxin and Lin Yoona, who were very popular at the time.

This drama was aired at the beginning of this year. Although her role was only a supporting maid, she had quite a lot of screen time because she was always by the side of the heroine.

And because of her makeup, her image in the drama looks not much different from the female lead, Yoona, and she actually gained a lot of popularity just by relying on her looks.

Although it was only a little, it already made other girls of the same grade envious.

You have to know that among the entire 13th grade of Beijing Film Academy, except for a girl named Chen Yao in the next class who signed with Tangren and got a lot of resources, the rest are all unknown.

After checking her makeup and finding nothing wrong, Meng Ziyi put down the mirror and stood up: "I'm leaving."

"Will you come back in the evening?" Xu Jiayu asked.

"...I said I was going to see my relatives!" Meng Ziyi said in a delicate voice, "Where would I live if I don't come back? Let's go."

Before leaving, she did not forget to put on a baseball cap to protect her face from being tanned by the sun.

As soon as she got on a Didi after leaving the school gate, her cell phone rang. Meng Ziyi glanced at the caller's name and saw it was her mother.

"Hey, Mom, I'm on my way there now... I know, I know, I will respect him a lot. Besides, he is only five years older than me... I know, he is very capable, I will just treat him as the director of the crew, okay?"

After hanging up the phone, Meng Ziyi puffed his lips and snorted in dissatisfaction.

Then she sighed, picked up her phone again, and searched the name "Meng Bai" on the Internet.

At the beginning of the year, Meng's father and mother took their "great grandfather" to look for relatives. After they came back, they told her that they had a "little uncle" who was also in northern Beijing and had opened a large film and television company.

Meng Ziyi didn’t take it seriously at first. She wasn’t even familiar with the relatives of her grandfather’s generation, let alone “grandfather’s grandfather”.

As for the so-called "film and television company", it is probably just a small media company that does advertisements and promotional videos, and has nothing to do with the film and television industry. Besides, although there is a difference in seniority, the two are about the same age, so calling him "uncle" is too awkward.

So even though she had the other person’s WeChat, she never thought of adding him.

Until recently, Meng's mother suddenly forwarded her some news about Arc Entertainment.

At first she thought it was an audition for a role, but when she clicked on it, she found out it was just an interview.

I was planning to turn it off, but when I glanced at it, I suddenly saw a familiar name.

Meng Bai.

Isn’t this the same as the name of my “little uncle”?

She quickly asked Meng's mother, and was told that the two were really the same person.

Wow, I actually have such a powerful "little uncle"!
Will I have someone I can hold on to in the future?

She quickly looked up her previous WeChat account and wanted to add him directly, but then she felt that chatting on WeChat was a bit inappropriate.

After hesitating for a moment, she decided to go and meet him directly.

The Beijing Film Academy campus is in Haidian, and to get to Arc Light Film and Television you have to almost cross the entire inner city.

Fortunately, it was afternoon and the traffic was not too congested, so we arrived in less than half an hour.

Standing at the door of an office building, Meng Ziyi looked up at the sign hanging outside the gate - Arclight Films.

This should be it.

What should I do? I suddenly feel a little nervous.

Isn't it a bit abrupt to meet someone directly in person? I should have added WeChat first.

After hesitating for a while, Meng Ziyi took a deep breath and was about to muster up the courage to go in when he suddenly heard someone talking behind him.

"Hello, is this Arclight Films?"

Meng Ziyi turned around when he heard the voice. A little girl with simple clothes, pure eyes and a somewhat silly temperament was standing behind him, looking at him cautiously.

"probably."

Meng Ziyi responded and sighed in his heart, what a pretty girl, although she was still a little inferior to himself.

Is he a new actor here for audition?

"Are you a staff member here?" the little girl asked again.

Meng Ziyi hurriedly shook his head: "I'm not, if you have something to do, just go in."

"Oh, thank you."

The girl thanked him and took a careful look at the exterior of the office building before walking in.

Meng Ziyi's mind moved, and he seemed not as nervous as before, so he followed her in.

The little girl in front looked back in surprise, and she quickly smiled.

After entering the lobby, a young girl wearing glasses at the front desk looked at the two of them and asked politely, "Hello, what can I do for you?"

The girl spoke first: "Hello, my name is Yang Chaoyue, and I'm here for an interview today."

The girl at the front desk said "Oh" and said enthusiastically: "You are finally here!"

That’s great! I can finally go back to my workstation with peace of mind and no longer have to work part-time at the front desk.

Looking at the other party's enthusiastic attitude, Yang Chaoyue couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

Is this the capital? It is much better than Shanghai!
I knew I was right to leave.
