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

Chapter 332 How about introducing your best friend to each other?
[Under the setting sun, Minan placed a bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone.

The inscription "Tomb of my beloved wife Liao Yafan" was carved by her.

Rock engraving is the oldest and longest-lasting form of record keeping, and she hopes to leave something for the girl.

He stood quietly facing the tombstone for a long time, until it got dark, then Minan stood up and left the cemetery.

In the distant city, lights are twinkling.

The lighthouse on the coast suddenly lit up, and the bright light crossed the night sky, illuminating the darkness.

That’s the real city light. 】

"Beautiful! Passed!" Wu Bai behind the monitor shouted excitedly.

Meng Bai was attracted by the brother's sudden outburst of emotions and walked behind him to look at the screen.

Amidst a sea of cold-toned tombstones, Li Qin is seen in the center of the picture with her back facing forward against the light. The bright light of the lighthouse in the distance casts a warm halo around her body.

"This sense of imagery, this power of expression... a stroke of genius!" Wu Bai said excitedly: "This lighthouse is lit at the perfect time!"

Meng Bai also nodded in agreement.

The sudden lighting of the lighthouse was actually an accident. According to the originally designed scene, the camera pushed forward from Li Qin’s back, and then to the dazzling night view of the city below the mountain.

This is the final scene of the entire movie, reflecting the theme of "City Lights". Because the Blue Mountain Cemetery only allowed the crew to shoot in the next few days, Wu Bai planned to shoot this ending first.

Unexpectedly, an "accident" occurred in the designed shot, and the lighthouse in the distant Blue Island Bay unexpectedly lit up.

Even more coincidental is that the position and intensity of this light appearing in the lens is just right.

This kind of rare scene naturally makes director Wu Bai very excited.

I can only say that this is how filming is often like this, there are always unexpected things happening on the set. Some of these accidents will waste the crew's time, but some will create a classic shot.

Maybe this is what is called "fate".

Wu Bai checked again with each group to ensure that there were no problems with the audio and video materials, then he gave Meng Bai a thumbs up from a distance.

"OK, thank you for your hard work everyone!"

Meng Bai took a loud speaker and said to the crew, "Everyone hurry up and pack up your things, go down the mountain and rest early. Four or five people from the production team will stay here to burn incense for the seniors around here. Sorry for disturbing you."

The staff members nodded and packed up their things.

The temperature in Blue Island at night in October has already dropped, and the strong wind halfway up the mountain adds a bit of coolness.

A mountain breeze blew by, and Li Qin shivered. Just as she was about to call her assistant, she looked up and found Meng Bai coming over with her coat.

"It's such an honor that Teacher Meng came personally to deliver clothes to me." Li Qin teased with a sweet smile.

"That's true. No matter who you are, you can't let Teacher Li get cold." Meng Bai smiled, raised his clothes and shook them, then looked at her and said, "Raise your hand."

Li Qin was stunned, but immediately realized that he wanted to put it on herself directly.

Glancing at the crew members who were busy packing up not far away, she raised her hands left and right as if spreading wings and took a step forward.

"I thought you were going to hug me." Meng Bai joked and took the coat to help Li Qin put it on.

After putting it on, he held the sides of his coat tightly and asked, "Are you still cold?"

Li Qin's cheeks flushed, and she shook her head happily. She looked at the man expectantly and asked, "Will we have dinner together later?"

"Okay."

Meng Bai naturally would not refuse, but then he thought of another thing.

"After this scene is finished, I think you won't have any more important scenes later." Meng Bai said, "I remember a few days ago, someone seemed to say that after she was done with her work, she could agree to an 'excessive' request of mine?"

"Hey, hey, please stop tampering with other people's words, okay? I clearly said that I would agree to a 'not too excessive' request of yours!" Li Qin quickly corrected him.

"Really?" Meng Bai waved his hand without sincerity, "It's okay, just accept this promise."

Li Qin then realized that she had been tricked again. She rolled her eyes at him and walked towards her assistant to pack up and leave the mountain.

Meng Bai looked at her back as she left with a cold look on her face and smiled faintly.

I have to say, the contrast that Teacher Li occasionally reveals is really adorable.

When he turned around, he saw Zhao Jinmai hiding not far away and watching this side stealthily.

"What are you looking at?"

"Nothing." Zhao Jinmai raised her little face, "Brother Meng Bai, are you and Sister Qinqin really not in love? I always feel like you are lying to me."

"Don't ask about social affairs."

Meng Bai twisted her head and turned her around, then took out two red envelopes from his other pocket: "Here, take these."

"what is this?"

Zhao Jinmai opened them and saw that there was ten yuan in each red envelope.

She looked at Meng Bai in confusion. What did he mean? Hush money?
It's just twenty dollars. You don't take me seriously at all.

"It's a tradition of the crew that if an actor has a scene like death, burial, or posthumous photo shoot, they will give him a red envelope for good luck." Meng Bai explained: "You are young, so I'll give you two."

"Oh." Zhao Jinmai suddenly realized, and while putting the red envelope in his pocket, he muttered quietly: "It's better to put a hundred yuan note in it. It looks so festive in red."

"How can you, a modern high school student who has received nine years of compulsory education and has scientific beliefs, believe in these feudal superstitions?"

"Oh fine."

"By the way, it is said that you should spend this kind of unexpected money quickly, otherwise you will suffer financial disaster. Why don't you order two cups of milk tea later, and I can help you solve it."

"..."

When we got back to the city, it was not yet eight o'clock.

Meng Bai went back to his room, washed and packed up, changed into casual clothes and went out.

When he arrived at the door of Li Qin's room, he looked around and saw that there was no one there. He took out the room card, opened the door and walked in as if he was familiar with the place.

When I walked into the room, the lights were on but no one was there. There were two unopened bags of takeout on the coffee table outside.

Meng Bai listened carefully and heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom in the inner room, obviously someone was washing.

He did not go in at this time. The night was long and there was plenty of time.

After putting the takeout on the table, Meng Bai leaned back on the sofa and began replying to the WeChat messages that he had not had time to read since the afternoon.

After waiting for nearly twenty minutes, I finally heard the sound of water in the inner room stop.

After a while, the bathroom door was opened and Li Qin came out wearing a cream-colored pajamas and a large towel on her head.

"When did you come in?"

Looking at Meng Bai, who was half lying on the sofa and looked like a host, Li Qin was not surprised at all, as if this was a very normal thing.

"Just now."

Meng Bai looked at her. Perhaps because she had just finished a shower, her skin was pink and tender. Her long wet hair fell on her forehead, looking very fresh and fresh.

Seeing her wiping her hair with great effort using a large towel, Meng Bai waved his hand: "Come, I'll help you wipe it."

"it is good."

Li Qin walked over, sat down obediently in front of the man, and handed him the towel in her hand.

He started wiping from the ends of her hair with the towel, then moved upwards little by little. The thick towel slowly covered Li Qin's eyes, leaving only the lower half of her face exposed.

Looking at the rosy and shiny lips in front of him, Meng Bai did not let go of the towel in his hand, but lowered his head and kissed them.

Li Qin's vision was blocked by the thick towel, so she could not see the scenery outside and could only passively feel the touch of her lips.

However, this uncontrolled and restricted environment actually stimulated a different feeling, and she quickly immersed herself in this strange atmosphere.

After a long time, until both of them felt the other's breathing become rapid, they finally separated.

Li Qin, who had regained her sight, squinted her eyes, then looked at Meng Bai in front of her and said in a coquettish tone, "You rascal! You attacked me when I couldn't see!"

"I can't help it. Teacher Li is so pretty." Meng Bai said with a matter-of-fact expression, "Besides, you enjoyed it just now, didn't you?"

"Who, who enjoyed it!"

Li Qin blushed when her thoughts were exposed, but she still kept her stubborn attitude.

Meng Bai smiled indifferently, then roughly wiped the girl's hair, and then found a hair dryer to help her dry it.

They were both a little hungry after being busy from the afternoon until now, so they sat on the carpet leaning against each other and ate and talked. "There's a question about the plot that I've always wanted to ask." Li Qin said, "Did Fang Mu die in the end?"

"This question..." Meng Bai took a deep breath, thought for a while and said, "You can regard it as an open ending."

"Open ending?"

"Yes." Meng Bai explained: "The ending I originally designed actually directly clarified Fang Mu's death. But the company's screenwriter team discussed it and finally decided to blur it out."

At this point, he smiled and said, "Didn't you notice that the last scene in the script, including the scene of visiting Liao Yafan's grave today, deliberately avoided mentioning Fang Mu."

"No wonder, I was wondering why it always felt weird." Li Qin suddenly realized, "Actually, this design is quite good. It also leaves the audience with hope, so they won't feel so bad."

“Uh…” Meng Bai spread his hands. “Actually, our original intention has nothing to do with the audience’s feelings. I just feel that if we kill him directly, it will be difficult to operate if this character is needed in the team battle later.”

Listening to Meng Bai's explanation, Li Qin was speechless for a while. But she had to admit that this was indeed the most realistic reason.

After all, this is an urban "criminal investigation universe", not Marvel with magical energy flying all over the sky. If a character dies here, it is really difficult to revive him.

After finishing their meal with laughter and chat, the two of them cleaned up the garbage together. Then, the room suddenly fell into a strange silence.

Li Qin sat in a corner of the sofa, lowering her head and pretending to look at her phone, but in fact she was not looking at anything. Because next to her, Meng Bai was looking at her with burning eyes.

Finally, the girl couldn't stand the burning gaze any longer, and realized that she couldn't hide today, so she made up her mind.

"Go ahead!" Li Qin looked at Meng Bai: "What 'not too excessive' request are you going to make?"

She placed extra emphasis on the words "not too much", reminding the other party to think before speaking.

"Who knows what the standard is for 'not too excessive'?" Meng Bai said.

"Then you figure it out yourself. Anyway, the final decision is mine."

Meng Bai leaned on the armrest of the sofa behind him and said calmly: "How about introducing your best friend to me? This is not too much, right?"

"Ha!" Li Qin looked at him with a ridiculous expression.

This damn man actually dared to say such things openly!
She sneered: "That's easy, my best friend is Yi Xin, don't you know her? Do you need me to introduce her to you again?"

"Hey, who said that?" Meng Bai waved his hands and said with a fearless expression: "I remember you have a lot of friends, like Kan Qingzi, and you had a good relationship with Reba when you were on Running Man some time ago, it's all fine..."

"Go to hell, scumbag!"

Li Qin didn't even wait for him to finish and hit him with a "rocket head hammer".

Unfortunately, her strength was far inferior to Meng Bai's. Not only did the "rocket head hammer" not cause any damage, but she fell completely into Meng Bai's arms.

"Don't be so excited, Mr. Li. Don't ruin your cool and aloof personality."

"You're a big-headed ghost, a scumbag!"

Li Qin struggled angrily for a long time, and finally found out sadly that she had "hurt a thousand of her own lives and killed zero enemies".

"Change your request. This one won't work."

"Then you can introduce me to your best friend..."

"Don't mention your bestie or any other women anymore!"

Li Qin shouted, and then said a little aggrievedly: "Just tell me a good answer."

She didn't like hearing Meng Bai tell such jokes.

Moreover, she wasn't really sure whether this guy was joking or not.

Seeing the girl's eyes moist, Meng Bai finally stopped joking and said seriously: "Okay, then I'll talk to you. But you have to promise that as long as you can do it, you can't refuse."

"No problem!" Li Qin agreed immediately, her cheeks turning red.

Based on her understanding of this "rogue guy", he was just acting, changing clothes, or doing some weird poses.

In short, these are some embarrassing requests.

It doesn't matter. I'm already prepared. The worst that can happen is that I can just join him in some nonsense.

As he was cheering himself up in his heart, Li Qin suddenly felt someone hugging him around the waist. Then, Meng Bai brought him in front of him, and their eyes met.

"I'm going to say it, listen carefully."

"Ah."

Seeing her somewhat shy look, Meng Bai smiled slightly. Then, he said in a tone of deep affection that he had never used before: "I ask——"

"Teacher Li will always be with me."

He didn't ask "can you", but just looked at the girl in front of him with a firm gaze.

"..."

Li Qin was stunned for a moment, and then tears welled up in her eyes.

She bit her lips tightly, suppressing her emotions, and a brilliant smile bloomed on her cold little face.

"This request... is not bad." Li Qin said with a choked voice: "I... I promise you."

After saying this, she could no longer hold back and threw herself into Meng Bai's chest and hugged her tightly.

Looking at the girl in his arms who was crying because of excessive excitement, Meng Bai patted her head and then couldn't help but smile smugly.

A full meal is no match for a full meal.

Most women are emotional creatures. As long as they have one chance to break down their psychological defenses, they will let him do whatever he wants from then on.

Sure enough, after a while, Li Qin raised her head and looked at him with spring eyes: "Carry me in, I have a surprise for you."

Meng Bai naturally followed suit, sat up, and effortlessly stood up with the girl who had her legs wrapped around his waist.

Walking into the inner room, Li Qin got off him, took out a bag from the cabinet beside her, looked at Meng Bai coquettishly, then asked him to wait for a moment and went into the bathroom.

Meng Bai took a deep breath, and a guess arose in his mind.

Could it be that what I guessed was wrong? Could it be that she saw through my thoughts?
This is not good news. The more this girl knows about me, the harder it will be to deceive her in the future.

Before he could think of anything, the bathroom door was opened.

Immediately afterwards, Li Qin, wearing a low ponytail and a police uniform, walked out.

“Hiss—this…”

Meng Bai looked at Li Qin, who looked particularly attractive under her "new skin", and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

As expected, this girl has grasped my hobby.

Li Qin looked at Meng Bai's surprised eyes and suddenly felt happy.

When I was taking photos in this outfit before, this guy kept glancing at me. It turned out that he liked this outfit. It was worth it that I prepared for it for so long.

After calming down, Li Qin's face suddenly turned cold. She walked forward a few steps, looked down at Meng Bai who was sitting on the bed, and said coldly: "You hooligan, who told you to sit down? Squat down and hold your head."

Meng Bai was stunned for a moment by Li Qin's sudden attack, until he saw the smile on her lips and realized that she was entering the plot.

How to say it, although this girl tried hard to pretend to be a majestic "queen", she looked very young no matter how you looked at her.

But it's not bad either, as it can perfectly reflect the image of a "little white rabbit" policewoman who has just graduated and pretends to be serious on the surface but is actually panicked on the inside.

Thinking of this, Meng Bai did not squat down to cooperate, but stood up and pressed forward step by step.

"I say, police sister. I am an honest man. You can't wrongly accuse me."

Seeing that the other party did not follow her plot, Li Qin was at a loss and could only cooperate and continue: "Are you an honest man? How do you prove it?"

"Hey, police sister, don't think I don't know the law. Whether I am a good person or a bad person is what you need to prove. Or do you actually have no evidence?"

Meng Bai took a few steps forward and stuck close to her: "Police sister, you don't want your superiors to know that you have wrongly accused a good person, right?"

"You, what do you want to do..."

"Don't you know what I want to do, sister?"

As Meng Bai spoke, he lifted Li Qin up and gently placed her on the bed.

"You rascal, you, don't come over here, I'm not afraid of you..."

"Help, help..."

"Be gentle, don't damage your clothes..."
