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

Chapter 270 Cat Ear Attack Speed ​​Equipment
The producers are naturally happy to hear the speculation and discussion from the audience and fans.

Arclight Films also struck while the iron was hot and released the project information and character recruitment posters of "Psychological Crime 2" together with Tencent Video.

Since this is a sequel, the main characters have not changed.

People like "Fang Mu", "Tai Wei" and "Liao Yafan" are definitely the original cast members from the first season.

However, some of the new characters added in the second part still need to be re-cast.

In addition to crew invitations and internal recommendations, public recruitment is also an important channel for casting.

This type of cast usually includes important supporting roles with more screen time, and some simple character setting information will be marked on the poster.

For example, "(character name) male, 38-56 years old, from Northeast China, a criminal policeman who is dedicated to meritorious service, with a delicate mind and a rough appearance, hates evil but always fails to achieve his goals";
Or something like "(Character name) female, 19 years old, medical student, friendly and cheerful, more mature than her peers, and organized in her work."

With this basic information, actors who think they are suitable can sign up for an audition, or use their connections to contact the crew directly.

In fact, this is why even an 18th-tier actor must have his own small team.

If there is no dedicated person to pay attention to the news about a large number of film and television companies, producers, directors and screenwriters every day, you will miss a lot of good opportunities.

The "proposal video" attracted a wave of attention and warmed up the show. Coincidentally, Pan Yueming had also finished various interviews, and the crew of "Day and Night Chase" resumed normal filming.

In the blink of an eye, it is already the end of October.

On the set, Meng Bai called out, "Huahua."

"What's the matter, boss?"

"Ask the driver team to arrange a car. I'll go out later."

Meng Bai took out his phone and replied to the message, and at the same time gave Hua Yan some instructions.

"Okay, do you want me to come with you?"

"No need. Please ask Tencent Video for the recent playback data of The Mystical Ancient City this afternoon. I'll check it out later."

"The Lost Tomb" has a total of 20 episodes. Based on the broadcast schedule of two episodes per week, the finale will be in half a month.

Coincidentally, the finale of "The Lost Tomb" also takes place in the same week.

Although it started airing earlier than "The Lost Tomb", it has more episodes, so they were put together.

If we only compare the data of the two dramas, the gap is still quite large.

The current cumulative number of views of "The Lost Tomb" is about 40 billion, while the data for "The Mystic Nine" is almost 90 billion.

It seems that there is a difference of twice as much, but in fact, on the "Real-time Popularity List of Online Dramas" of several major data platforms, the rankings of the two are comparable.

After all, "The Lost Tomb" has only 20 episodes, while "The Mystic Nine" has 48 episodes. It would be obviously unfair to only look at the total number of views.

Therefore, if we really want to rank them in the end, we still have to use the average number of episodes played as the standard.

Compared to last year, the difference in ratings between the two dramas is not that big this time, so the final calculation of the annual ranking will mainly depend on the broadcast data.

From the current perspective, as the plot of "The Lost Tomb" started off strong but ended up weak, its first-mover advantage has been exhausted and it is basically on par with "The Lost Tomb: The Mystic Nine".

According to this trend, it is obvious that "The Lost Tomb" has a greater advantage.

Taking the car keys from Hua Yan, Meng Bai walked out of the set.

When passing by the props group, he suddenly had an idea. He found a handbag, picked up a few props, and then left with the bag.

Drive through the undersea tunnel, return to the city of Landao, and finally slowly drive into the underground parking lot of a sea view hotel.

After looking at the room number on WeChat, Meng Bai took the elevator to the corresponding floor and stopped in front of a room looking at the door number.

I rang the electronic doorbell and waited a few seconds before I heard light footsteps coming to the door.

The person in the room confirmed the identity of the visitor through the peephole, and then opened the door a corner.

Meng Bai looked around and made sure that there was no one there, then he quickly went into the house.

Just as I heard the door closing behind me, the next second I felt someone hugging me tightly from behind.

Meng Bai turned around and looked down, and Song Zhi's plain and white little face came into view.

But at this moment, she was staring at him with eyes full of love.

"Do you miss me that much?"

"Ah."

Song Zhi responded, biting his lips lightly, and without waiting for Meng Bai to react, he stood on tiptoes and kissed him.

In other words, it is very simple to see whether a woman has feelings for a man, just look at the physical contact. Most women will choose to actively stick to the man they like when facing him.

They kissed for a long time in one breath, until their breath was too scattered to keep up with the oxygen consumption, and then they separated.

Looking at the girl's amorous expression in front of him, Meng Bai didn't chat about anything else and just focused on his business first.

He took off his coat and casually hung it on the hanger, then when he turned around he saw the bag he had brought.

A strange smile appeared on his lips, and he said to Song Zhi: "Close your eyes first, I brought you a gift."

"What gift?"

Song Zhi asked curiously, but still closed his eyes obediently.

Then she felt a tightness on her head, as if something was being worn.

"Well, it's quite suitable." Meng Bai looked at the girl and praised her with satisfaction.

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi subconsciously opened his eyes, raised his hand to take the thing off his head, and then couldn't help rolling his eyes.

It turns out that this guy's so-called "gift" is just a cat ear headband.

"and this."

Meng Bai pointed again at the long object in his hand.

Song Zhi took a look and became even more speechless.

It was a black cat tail that could be hung around the waist.

What is this, a cross-dressing play?
"abnormal!"

Song Zhi said in a low voice with blushing cheeks.

He even said it was a "gift" for himself, but it was obviously just to satisfy this guy's own bad taste.

"Put it on and try it out."

Meng Bai put his arms around the girl's slender waist and whispered in her ear.

Compared with Li Qin and Li Yitong, Song Zhi has a softer personality and is more "indulgent" towards Meng Bai.

No matter how embarrassing something is, as long as you say it twice, she will eventually agree.

Sure enough, after hearing Meng Bai's request, Song Zhi hesitated for a long time, but finally fulfilled his wish with a blushing face.

After putting on the cat ears and tail, she posed in a shameful posture as Meng Bai requested.

It must be said that this set of equipment matches the girl's cat-like face very well.

Finally, when Song Zhi felt that she was almost too shy to stand, Meng Bai finally picked her up by the waist, then threw her onto the bed and got down to business.

Two hours later.

Song Zhi leaned in Meng Bai's arms with a flushed face, a contented and lazy expression.

It was only until now that I finally had the mood to chat about recent events.

"Has the promotional period for your spy drama ended?"

"Well, it just ended a few days ago."

Ever since "The Disguiser" became a huge hit last year, spy war dramas, or more accurately, spy puppet dramas have become a new hot topic in the film and television industry.

In just one year, seven or eight spy war dramas have been aired.

As one of the most outstanding characters in "The Pretender", "Yu Manli" brought Song Zhi a lot of benefits.

Before the show was finished, a bunch of spy war scripts were sent to her.

As an actor, I don’t really like to play the same role all the time, because it can easily lead to a fixed image and narrow my acting range.

However, for a young actor who has just become famous from the 18th line, this is not a problem that he needs to consider at the moment.

Finally, at Meng Bai's suggestion, Song Zhi chose a script called "Sparrow".

The role she played was the second female lead, a member of our party disguised as a third-rate actor.

Compared with "Yu Manli", she can be considered to have "turned over a new leaf".
