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

Chapter 331 Death is a Wall
Meng Ziyi looked at Yang Chaoyue with some surprise.

"Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

"Well, it's not something I thought of suddenly... In fact, I've thought about it before."

Yang Chaoyue bit her lip and spoke hesitantly.

She had thought about becoming an actor as early as when she had just finished filming "Chef Fang in the Flower Garden".

The reason for this idea was because of what the big boss Meng Bai said a long time ago -

"Xiao Yang, when you have nothing to do, you can read more books, or learn something you like. You can't do a job like a receptionist for the rest of your life. Even if you plan to find an honest man to marry when you get older, you will have more opportunities to choose a good job."

It has to be said that compared to many girls who also came out to work without much education, Yang Chaoyue obviously thinks more about the future.

This can be seen from the fact that she would rather take a ten-hour bus ride to go to big cities like Shanghai and Beijing to give it a try.

Therefore, she did not think that the boss was nagging or talking without thinking, but that he had really thought about it seriously.

She just kept thinking about it and didn't know which direction she could work towards.

Although she dropped out of junior high school due to her family's financial difficulties, her academic performance was actually average.

She doesn't like studying very much and her brain isn't very useful. Apart from being pretty, she doesn't seem to be good at anything.

She had thought about this question for a long time until she was suddenly selected. Although it was just a small supporting role with only a few episodes, she was still very excited.

But after the performance was really over, she suddenly found that she seemed to be quite interested in the actors.

But interest is interest, and she was also smart enough to know that how could she become an actor when she didn't even finish junior high school and had never studied acting.

But this idea has since taken root in her heart. Whenever she works at the front desk and sees that the company has a new project, she can't help but think of it from the bottom of her heart.

Actually, it’s not that there is no chance at all, Yang Chaoyue said to herself.

As for the special prize at the previous annual meeting, the boss said that as long as the wish was within the company's capabilities, it would be acceptable. So why not just use the 100,000 yuan to exchange for an opportunity?

"You mean you won the special prize of 100,000 yuan at the first annual meeting after you came to Arc Light!" Meng Ziyi's attention was drawn somewhere else.

"Didn't I tell you?"

"No."

Yang Chaoyue rolled her eyes: "Now you know."

Meng Ziyi: (>д<)
“Hehe…” Yang Chaoyue smiled ingratiatingly and quickly brought the topic back: “A few months ago, I actually planned to talk to my boss about it, but he was always busy. After a while, I didn’t dare to bring it up again.”

"What are you afraid of? Just say what you need to say!" Meng Ziyi said proudly, "The movie my uncle is filming is about to be finished. When he comes back in a while, I'll take you to ask him."

"This, isn't necessary..."

"It's okay, your sister Meng is the most loyal!" Meng Ziyi said, patting his chest.

But after she finished speaking, she changed her expression and frowned, "But how should I put it? Although I may sound a little hypocritical or pretentious, I really advise you to think about it again. Actors and artists are not actually good professions."

Even though she seems to have good resources now, that is basically due to her uncle's status as a bully.

Before this, she was actually just a new actor at the bottom level, and had seen all kinds of messy things.

Fortunately, her family conditions are pretty good and she has a great psychological advantage, so she can have an easier time than other students.

And at least she is from Beijing Film Academy, so she is born with more opportunities than others, so her level of difficulty is already considered "average".

For a "grassroots girl" like Yang Chaoyue, who is a little pretty but has no background and no school support, the difficulty level is at least "elite", even if it is not "hell".

"It's not easy to be an actor or artist." Meng Ziyi said, "And even if you really start filming, you still need to learn. At the very least, you have to know the basics of acting."

"This kind of study is different from the kind of study in school. I think I still like it." Yang Chaoyue pouted and said, "Anyway, I don't want to get married in a few years when I get older."

"Good! Xiao Chaoyue has ambition!"

Meng Ziyi slammed the table: "Since you have made up your mind, let's decide. When uncle comes back in a while, I will go with you!" "Well, I knew you were the best!"

"Then you can let me kiss you."

"Eh?"
-
Meng Bai, who was far away in Blue Island, naturally didn't know that two little girls were waiting for him. At this moment, he was standing among a row of neatly arranged tombstones with the crew.

Blue Mountain Cemetery, located on the side of Blue Mountain, the highest mountain on Blue Island, is a cemetery covering hundreds of acres.

"It would be great if we could develop real estate here and build a villa district, which is located near the mountains and the sea."

Meng Bai looked around and couldn't help thinking.

After thinking about it, he laughed at himself again - damn, he is really about to evolve into a complete capitalist!

Alas, let me reminisce for two seconds about my lost literary and artistic youth.

With a sigh, Meng Bai turned his attention back to the scene. The crew was setting up the equipment, and the camera was aimed at one of the tombstones.

In front of the tombstone, Zhao Jinmai stared blankly at the inscription engraved on it, looking dazed.

"Snapped!"

Meng Bai snapped his fingers beside the little girl's ear, waking her up: "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing." Zhao Jinmai shook his head, "I just feel a little weird looking at this name."

On the tombstone in front of him were engraved the words "Tomb of my late wife Liao Yafan" and the signature was "Husband Fang Mu, Autumn 2012".

In the second half of the movie, in order to force Fang Mu to cross the "boundary of legal procedures" and evolve into a new "punisher", Jiang Ya called Fang Mu and told him that he was going to take action against his "most beloved woman".

Fang Mu thought of Min Nan first, but he didn't expect Min Nan to appear in front of him safe and sound.

Only then did he realize that the "beloved woman" Jiang Ya mentioned was actually Liao Yafan, whom he had known for many years and wanted to marry him because of his careless promise.

But when he saw the familiar girl again, all that was left was a cold corpse in a body bag.

At this point, almost none of the people Fang Mu had known in college were still alive.

Zhao Jinmai has played the role of "Liao Yafan" since the first season of "Psychological Crime" and has continued to play it until the current movie version.

And because the time span in the play is basically the same as reality, the "two girls" from different dimensions almost grew up together.

Suddenly seeing that the other person was gone, the girl, who was only 16 years old after the Chinese New Year, felt some inexplicable feelings in her heart.

Meng Bai walked to Zhao Jinmai and squatted down like her.

"That's how stories are. No matter how great or powerful a character is, they always have to say goodbye at the end."

"Brother Meng Bai," Zhao Jinmai asked, "What do you think death is?"

"Death..." Meng Bai said in a gentle voice, "It's like you are walking in a wilderness where you can't turn back, and suddenly a wall appears in front of you. This wall is infinitely high upwards, infinitely deep downwards, infinitely far to the left and right, and it cannot be broken. This wall is death."

Zhao Jinmai glanced at him and whispered, "Brother..."

"what happened?"

“I’ve read the original novel of The Wandering Earth.”

"Ah...haha, I forgot about that."

With a light cough, Meng Bai stood up and walked towards the crew: "Is the location set up? Someone go get Teacher Li over so we can start shooting earlier and finish work earlier."

This scene was to commemorate "Liao Yafan", so Zhao Jinmai naturally could not appear on stage, he just came along to watch the fun.

The real protagonist is Li Qin, who plays Minan.

This is also her last difficult scene in the movie.
