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

Chapter 65 Very smooth
It is very common for the original actors to suddenly quit the show. Most of the reasons are that they have received new shows that they like better or have bigger names.

Just like when Meng Bai invited Wang Taling before, he also turned down another originally scheduled drama and chose "Psychological Crime".

So when he heard the news, Meng Bai's first reaction was to ask the other party if he had taken on any new drama.

Unexpectedly, Hua Yan shook her head and said, "Brother Liu said he asked around and it seems that there was something wrong with the girl's family, some private matters, and she didn't take on other dramas."

Meng Bai nodded. There was nothing he could do about personal issues. After all, the contract had not been signed yet, so there was nothing to say whether the other person came or not.

Fortunately, the crew has a backup plan.

"Have Liu Zhi go and ask the mother of the little girl named Zhao Jinmai to see if the time and schedule are suitable." Meng Bai ordered: "Tell him that the pay and benefits should still be based on equal conditions. It can be increased appropriately, but it cannot exceed the standard, otherwise I might as well just find someone new."

"Okay." Hua Yan nodded and left the room. But a moment later, she appeared at the door again in a sneaky manner.

Meng Bai heard the noise, glanced at her and asked, "Sneaky, are you planning to assassinate me?"

"Hehe, how could that be. There's a...sister outside? It should be a sister. She's pretty and said she wants to look for you." Hua Yan said.

"Sister?" Meng Bai asked doubtfully, "Didn't she tell me her name?"

Hua Yan blinked: "Uh, I forgot to ask."

"Great!" Meng Bai took a deep breath, stood up and walked out, saying, "You are derelict in your duty. I will deduct 200 yuan from you. Go and ask the finance department to record it later."

"……Oh."

Walking out of the crew preparation room, Meng Bai saw a woman's back from afar. She was wearing a red fitted top with a ribbon tied around her waist, outlining her slender waist. She was wearing a pair of denim shorts, revealing two long, straight, white legs.

The woman stood there, looking at the students coming and going in the teaching building in the distance, all the emotions on her face hidden under the large sunglasses.

"What's wrong, sister? Now that you've come to campus, do you suddenly start to miss your youth?" Meng Bai walked up to the woman and said teasingly.

"What do you mean by nostalgia? Sister, I am still young now, okay!"

Qin Lan took off her sunglasses and glared at Meng Bai. Then she put on a bright smile and spread her hands and said, "Long time no see. Come, give me a hug."

Naturally, Meng Bai would not refuse such a request. He reached out and grabbed Qin Lan's arm and pulled her into his arms. Amidst the other's small scream, he gave her a tight hug.

"Okay, okay, that's it."

Qin Lan pushed Meng Bai away in a panic, stood up and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tsk tsk, you're so brave now, you dare to take advantage of your sister." Qin Lan looked at Meng Bai with a smile.

She was just joking. According to her previous experience, Meng Bai would usually find an excuse to change the subject so that she could enjoy the pleasure of "teasing" the little boy. Unexpectedly, this naughty brother changed his style and she was the one being teased.

"Please be reasonable, sister. I strictly follow your orders. How can I take advantage of you?"

"No matter what, do you think my sister is someone who likes to reason?"

"..."

After chatting and laughing with each other for a while, neither of them took the "accident" seriously. Meng Bai was more curious about why Qin Lan suddenly came to see him.

"When I read the script, I said I would have a celebration party to congratulate you, but I was on the set and didn't have time to go. I had to go abroad to shoot a few scenes later, so I didn't have time to congratulate you."

Qin Lan said, "The crew just finished filming and returned to China, and got off the plane at Blue Island. I saw in your circle of friends that you were preparing for a new crew at Blue Island recently, so I came to see you and congratulate you by the way."

When she read the script of "Pendulum", she felt that it would be a good work, which was why she was willing to use her connections to help Meng Bai introduce Gan Wei to him.

But what she didn't expect was that Meng Bai's debut would achieve such explosive results. That "good friend" even called her to thank her for introducing Meng Bai, which brought huge profits to Leshi.com. When "Soul Ferry" was popular before, she also followed the crew. Every time she saw the praise in the comments and the media reports on the playback data, she would feel a sense of pride.

Meng Bai smiled and said, "To be honest, I should be the one to thank you. For Sister Qin Lan's help, I can only repay her with my body. I just hope that Sister Qin Lan can give me a chance to repay you."

"You're taking advantage of me again, aren't you?" Qin Lan rolled her eyes, but couldn't help laughing, "Let's not talk about whether I'll marry you or not, but I remember you still owe me a glass of wine."

"Okay, I'll make it up to my sister right away."
-
"Ding!"

The two wine glasses clinked lightly together, making a crisp sound.

"This is a nice place." Qin Lan looked around. The flickering candles, soft piano music and whispering atmosphere filled the air with elegance and ambiguity.

"When entertaining distinguished guests, as a local I have to serve something worthy of the place." Meng Bai said as he refilled their glasses with wine.

"Oh, right, I forgot you are from Blue Island." Qin Lan said, "Then you can just go home and live there."

Meng Bai shook his head: "It's not necessary. I live in Blue Mountain. It takes more than an hour to go back and forth every day. And the crew has to work until midnight. It's better to stay in a hotel."

"Yeah, if I go back home, I'll have to greet my parents when it's late, which is really troublesome."

Qin Lan took a sip of wine and looked at Meng Bai sitting across from him. Unlike last year, he looked the same, but he had a more spirited and sharp aura.

This aura was brought about by the success and development in his career, adding a bit of calmness, confidence and aggressiveness to his originally calm personality.

Qin Lan couldn't help but smile when she thought of this. In the past, although this naughty brother would tease her, he rarely teased her like this.

It is said that career is the best "tonic" for men, and even little boys are no exception.

However, this way it looks more appealing!

Especially when you think that you have contributed to the other person's change, you have an even stronger urge to "reap the benefits".

After drinking another large glass of red wine, Qin Lan's face gradually began to show a slight blush, and her eyes became blurred. Her watery eyes were like shining stars.

When Qin Lan was looking at Meng Bai, Meng Bai was also observing her. Looking at the woman's watery eyes, he subconsciously remembered the words that Qiong Yao had said about her before - a tear from Qin Lan is like a star in the sky.

Although it may seem a bit exaggerated, it feels particularly appropriate to use it at this time.

"When I was reading the script before, I was thinking, it would be great if I could make a cameo appearance in such an interesting story." Qin Lan supported his chin with one hand, leaned forward on the table, looked at Meng Bai and said, "Unfortunately, I joined the crew later and didn't have this opportunity."

"Sister, if you had told me earlier, I would have moved the role of Yang Guifei to the second season and waited for you to play it." Meng Bai said.

"Yang Guifei? Are you saying I'm fat?" Qin Lan sensitively grasped the key point.

Meng Bai said: "Sister, please stop reading unofficial history. That's called plump. Besides, your weight of less than 100 pounds is not at all related to 'fat'."

"So you mean I don't have a good figure." Qin Lan leaned forward, and the whiteness of his chest was squeezed into a groove.

The spring scenery is in full view. Don't mention it, most actresses are very thin in real life in order to look good on camera. In comparison, this sister is surprisingly strong and looks like she has achieved great success.

An description subconsciously flashed through Meng Bai's mind - very smooth.

Qin Lan was very satisfied with Meng Bai's reaction and returned to the topic, "What a pity, the filming has been completed."

After sighing, she suddenly seemed to remember something and asked excitedly, "Hey, do you have any suitable and interesting roles in your new drama? I can make a friendly guest appearance for you."
