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

Chapter 288 New Year,

Meng Bai paused for a moment, looked over under the dim hanging lamp, and then cursed in his heart.

I thought it was some kind of thing, but feelings are personal.

Looking at the face again, a familiar little face came into view.

It’s Yang Chaoyue.

Because it was cold outside, she wore a thick coat and squatted on the ground with her head supported by her hands.

In addition, the location was backlit, so at first glance it looked like a black shadow.

"No, girl, who are you planning to ambush?"

Meng Bai walked over and looked at the face that was slightly reddened by the cold wind: "You don't mind the cold."

Yang Chaoyue had already stood up and said a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, boss, I'm just thinking about something here."

"think……"

Meng Bai curled his lips and said, "Are you thinking about the 100,000 yuan bonus?"

"Yes."

Sure enough, it is hard to say whether knowledge can make people grow, but money can definitely make people grow.

Who would have thought that he, who usually either said "I want revenge after being reborn" or "I, a natural loser, want to join the immortal sect", would now start to "think".

But thinking about it again, he could understand it. He remembered that the girl's family conditions didn't seem to be very good. One hundred thousand yuan was a considerable sum of money for her.

Having said that, even if I were the person I was three or four years ago, one hundred thousand yuan would still be a huge sum of money.

Seeing Yang Chaoyue's bewildered expression, Meng Bai thought for a moment and said, "If you're not in a hurry to rest, you can take a walk with me for a while."

"Ah good."

Yang Chaoyue responded subconsciously, but then immediately thought of something else.

"Boss..." She asked weakly, "This shouldn't be counted as part of the reward, right?"

"..."

Meng Bai looked at her with a "black question mark.jpg" expression.

Yang Chaoyue smiled awkwardly and explained what he had heard before.

"Go back and tell her that having a meal with me won't cost a hundred thousand, just treat her and pay the bill."

Walking slowly around the outdoor fenced corridor, Yang Chaoyue glanced at Meng Bai and finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Boss, if it were you, how would you use this bonus?"

"I?"

Meng Bai thought for a moment and said, "If it were me, I might ask for a chance to submit a script, or a training session, or I might choose an investment quota for an Arclight project or something."

Yang Chaoyue seemed to be thinking about something.

"But these are my choices based on my own situation, and may not be suitable for you."

Meng Bai said: "In fact, if you really need it, taking the money directly is also a good option. In the end, it still depends on where you need this opportunity."

"..."

Before she won the prize, Yang Chaoyue thought a lot about how to use the money.

But now, she suddenly found herself uncertain again.

After walking in silence for a long time, until Meng Bai stopped, she finally said, "Then boss, please remember this reward for me. I'll tell you when I think about it."

"Okay, don't worry, take your time to think about it." Meng Bai said: "Okay, I'm in the room, thank you for sending me back, go back and rest early."

"what?"

Yang Chaoyue stared blankly at the gate next to her. She thought her boss was just taking a walk.

"Sorry for bothering you, boss. I'll go back now."

She quickly lowered her head and said something, then turned around and trotted away.

Looking at the little girl who left like a little penguin, Meng Bai let out a long breath as he walked in.

I have helped another employee solve his life confusion. I am such a good boss!

Before the Spring Festival, Arclight Films released its 2017 film list on its official website and official Weibo account. "Fuck! It's been two years. Is the Soul Ferry film project finally going to be released?"

"Is the web series of Detective Chinatown already online so soon? Then why hasn't Forensic Qin Ming 2 been released yet?"

"Haha, I knew Meng Bai must have read the comments. Arc Light is actually going to film a spy drama!"

"A spy drama of the 'Escape Room' type, this one is directly linked to 'Detective Conan'!"

"Teacher Pan plays four roles? I'm already interested in this new play, Day and Night."

"The one above, judging by the logo on the promotional poster, this drama is also a project of the 'Green Ivy Detective Universe', so just watch it without worry."

"No, why is 'Captain Tai' also in the new drama? Teacher, where is our Fang Mu?"

"'Psychological Crime' is also going to be made into a movie. Is this the end of the entire storyline? Why do I have a bad feeling about this?"

"..."

As soon as the New Year's film single was released, it immediately sparked various discussions.

The biggest debates are basically focused on the three projects: "Criminal Minds 2", "Day and Night", and "Criminal Minds: City of Lights".

After all, this is the first time that the "Green Ivy Detective Universe" has been linked to the main storyline.

The happiest people are the bloggers and up-loaders in various film and television areas.

I have been doing a review of "good dramas", "bad movies" and "niche dramas" during this period, and I am now worrying about what to choose for the next topic.

Well, no need to worry about it now, just make it the “Most Anticipated TV Series of 2017”.

Now it’s really the Chinese New Year.

Another beneficiary is naturally Arc Light.

Looking at the news from various self-media and marketing accounts on the Internet, as well as the increasing popularity of related projects, Meng Bai couldn't help but say in his heart that Liu Jun's suggestion of a "film list trailer" was indeed good.

Of course, this is also because ArcLight has laid the foundation over several years and more than a dozen high-quality dramas, accumulating a strong appeal for the entire team and a large number of fans and audiences.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, the 2017 Spring Festival has finally arrived.

As Arclight Films gradually got on track, the boss Meng Bai actually had more free time.

At least, I can go home and have a New Year’s Eve dinner with my elders.

"This Spring Festival Gala is becoming increasingly boring."

Walking back from the old man's house, Father Meng sighed: "The key is that those people at the scene are so happy, and I don't know what they are happy about."

"They are all invited contributors, advertisers, or family members of actors, so we have to show our support, right?" Meng Bai said, "And the atmosphere on site is indeed better than watching on TV."

At this point, he had an idea: "If you two are interested, I can help you get a few tickets to the Spring Festival Gala next year, so you can go and experience it live, and you can also spend the New Year with me."

"Can you still get a spot on the Spring Festival Gala?" Meng's father and mother asked in surprise.

"Tsk, don't you see what your son's current status is?" Meng Bai waved his hand nonchalantly, "If you want to go on stage, then I really can't help you. But if you want to be an audience member, it's very simple."

"This……"

Father Meng and Mother Meng looked at each other and were both moved.

They had no interest in watching the Spring Festival Gala live, but they were quite concerned about going to northern Beijing to check on their children.

"If it's not too much trouble for you, we can go there." Father Meng said casually.

Meng Bai naturally heard the hidden tone in the two people's words, smiled lightly, and drove the car: "Okay, then let's make it like this, come to my place during the Spring Festival next year, just in time to see my new house."

"Wait a minute." Mother Meng frowned and looked at him, "When did you buy a house?"

"Ah, didn't I say..."

Meng Bai thought about it and it seemed that he had never said that.

"It's okay, you know it now."

"…It seems like we really need to take a closer look."

　Thanks to the big boss "Gu Yegen" for the reward!
