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

Chapter 251 Girl, you have to show your role

Zhang Ruoyun: [An unexpected situation has occurred. Teacher Li said that he will come to see you after the class is over. Please be prepared.]

Meng Bai: [Then you and your woman come here together. ]

Zhang Ruoyun: [No, my girlfriend told me not to disturb her. If I insist, I will definitely be suspected. Take care of yourself.]

Meng Bai: [Damn! Not fair.]

Looking at the premiere that was almost over, Meng Bai thought for a moment and sent a message to Meng Ziyi.

Meng Bai: [What's going on? ]

Meng Ziyi: [Currently normal.]

Meng Bai: [New mission. When it’s over, find a way to hold your sister Tongtong back for ten minutes.]

Meng Ziyi: [Shocked.JPG]

Meng Ziyi: [How can I delay this?! ]

Meng Bai: [So I asked you to find a solution. If you can't, just use the oldest excuse and go to the bathroom.]

Meng Ziyi: [……]

Putting down the phone, Meng Ziyi's face wrinkled.

The excuse of "going to the bathroom" is really too old-fashioned!

Also, it was my uncle who did the bad thing, so why am I the one who suffers?

But there is no way, the one who eats the food shall be grateful, the one who takes the food shall be soft-handed, it is true that there is no free lunch in the world.

Seeing that it was time for the group photo and the host began to give his closing remarks, Meng Ziyi tried hard to think if there was a more natural reason.

"Meng Meng, are you okay?"

Li Yitong on the side suddenly asked.

She was just about to tell Meng Ziyi that she would go to say goodbye to Meng Bai after the meeting, but in the blink of an eye she found that the girl had a "uncomfortable" expression on her face.

"Ah I……"

Meng Ziyi was confused when he was asked this question suddenly, and he said subconsciously: "I feel a little uncomfortable. Sister Tongtong, can you accompany me to the bathroom first after you finish?"

After saying this, she despised herself in her heart for actually using such an old-fashioned excuse in the end.

Fortunately, perhaps because her "painful" expression just now was somewhat realistic, Li Yitong believed her words without thinking too much.

By the way, I also kindly asked her if she wanted to leave early to rest.

"This is not good..."

"It's okay. I'll talk to Meng Bai and take you back first."

As she spoke, Li Yitong took out her cell phone and sent a message to Meng Bai.

[Meng Meng is feeling a little unwell, I will take her back to rest and leave first. I wish your movie a big hit at the box office! ]

Looking at the WeChat message he received, Meng Bai couldn't help but give Meng Ziyi a thumbs up.

Great girl, you actually exceeded the task expectations. I give you a thumbs up!

He quickly sent a message back, saying it was okay, and emphasized his regret for not being able to say goodbye in person. Finally, he asked her to send Meng Ziyi back to school.

"Okay, today's premiere of Detective Chinatown ends here. Thank you to all the fans and media for coming to support us. Our movie will start at midnight tonight, and will be officially released at 8 am tomorrow. I hope everyone can support us..."

On the stage, the host gave his closing remarks and then began to leave.

Meng Bai looked at his phone and saw Meng Ziyi had sent him a message saying that he had already gotten in the car and was returning to school with "Sister Tongtong".

Great, now I have nothing to worry about.

After waiting for a while in front, I saw Li Qin walking towards me wearing a casual T-shirt and a baseball cap.

She first greeted Chen Zhixi, and then walked up to Meng Bai.

"Congratulations, Teacher Meng, congratulations on the release of your new movie!" Li Qin's cold face was now filled with smiles.

"Congratulations, I also have to thank Teacher Li for coming to support us."

Meng Bai said with a smile, and then said as if he didn't know anything, "By the way, Lao Zhang said you came here with the couple, where are they?"

"He and Xinxin left first."

"He left as soon as he said he would. He was planning to meet his girlfriend."

Li Qin glanced over and asked: "Why do you always care about his girlfriend?"

Meng Bai raised his hand and gently covered her hat brim: "What do you think I can do? Are you curious? You have all seen him, but I have never seen him." Li Qin adjusted her hat: "It's okay, we will have a party soon, and I will introduce you to him then. By the way, is there a time for the party?"

"Before the end of the month, do you have time?"

"There's an audition for a role next week, and it should be available before the end of the month." Li Qin thought for a moment and said.

Meng Bai asked curiously: "Audition? What play?"

"It's a costume drama called "Princess Agents", and the role I'm going to audition for is the second female lead."

"Wow, thank God, your company is finally willing to let you take on a costume drama." Meng Bai sighed.

To him, the development path that Rong Xinda designed for this girl has always been confusing.

I don’t know if it was because of her previous experience in Kunqu Opera that she was trapped and had to take the path of Qingyi.

The key point is that Li Qin's age and experience are limited, and unlike those talented players, her starting point is her end point. It will take her ten or eight years to make it.

Costume dramas have been very popular in recent years. If it had changed its track earlier, it would have probably risen to the top by now, instead of being stuck in the second tier like it is now.

But if you think about it again, this is actually quite good.

I am popular, but not too popular. I make a lot of money, but I don’t have many things to do. I don’t have many fans, but I am very popular with passers-by, and I don’t have to deal with the messy things that happen in the fan circle.

I shoot two dramas a year, go on shows to promote them when they are first aired, and rest of the time I rest.

The key is to match it with your own work and rest schedule, which makes you feel comfortable.

But then again.

"Princess Princess..."

Meng Bai felt that the name seemed familiar, so he took out his phone and flipped through it, then he suddenly realized, "It's a play by Keddon."

Croton Media, also known as Huace Croton, is a wholly-owned holding company of Huace Film & TV.

Unlike ArcLight, Noon, New Classics, and Lemon Studios, which are developing independently, Huace adopts the "pack of wolves tactics" and has more than 20 wholly-owned holding companies and more than 20 joint venture companies.

Huace Film & TV is one of the leading ones among them.

When I was discussing cooperation with Huace’s president Zhao Yifang before, we also talked about some of their recently launched new dramas, including this female-led "Princess Agents".

If I remember correctly, Zhao Liying seemed to be chosen as the heroine of this drama.

She is quite popular in the industry and is one of the "85 flowers" who can best carry a drama.

"You also know this drama?" Li Qin asked in surprise.

"We have a strategic partnership with Huace."

Meng Bai raised his voice a little: "Come to think of it, Huace also asked me if I had any recommendations before. We can discuss roles like the second female lead. Alas, with so many people, I don't know who to choose."

"..."

Li Qin looked at the guy in front of her with an expression that said "come and beg me", and even though she knew he was teasing her, she just felt angry and amused.

However, she still cooperated and said in a cautious tone: "Then Teacher Meng, do you think I am suitable?"

"Teacher Li, you... your image is quite suitable." Meng Bai looked him up and down with his cunning eyes and spoke without hesitation.

Li Qin couldn't help but roll her eyes. You don't even know anything about the plot and the characters, and you have the nerve to say "the image is suitable" here.

"Then I'd like to ask Teacher Meng to recommend one for me."

"I can recommend it, but for such a big role, it's not enough to just say it with empty words. There has to be some expression."

Hearing Meng Bai's words, Li Qin couldn't help but blush.

This guy's tone really sounds like he deserves a beating!

"Then what does Teacher Meng want to express?" Li Qin gritted her teeth and squeezed out a word.

Meng Bai obviously intended to hold on to this point: "I would never take the initiative to bring up this matter. It all depends on your reaction."

After saying that, he deliberately raised his eyebrows at her.

If there weren't so many people here, I would really want to bite him!
Fortunately, Meng Bai also knew that this was still a public place, so he continued: "Or you can just keep a record of it first, and then express it when we meet next time."

It is said that people always make concessions by comparison. Upon hearing him say this, Li Qin immediately agreed: "No problem!"

"Okay, Mr. Li is straightforward, let's make a deal!"

Meng Bai gave her a thumbs up, and then added: "By the way, don't say I didn't remind you that you have to pay interest if you keep accounts with me."

"Meng Bai!"
