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

Chapter 80: Tsundere has retired (Please subscribe)
Shanghu, Putuo Creative Park.

Walking in this art park located on the bank of Suzhou River, Meng Bai saw colorful paintings of various styles covering the walls. The fences of the small fresh-style shops on the roadside were full of wildly growing green plants, and the lush branches and leaves spread up along the stairs outside the house.

Not to mention, this place is really full of various standard impressions of artistic atmosphere. After strolling here for a while, even Meng Bai, a vulgar person, felt that he had a little more artistic temperament.

The only problem was that the uneven buildings and the crooked roads were built too artistically, and he couldn't find his destination after searching for a long time.

After looking at the navigation instructions on the phone and then at the three-meter-high building in front of him, Meng Bai couldn't help but scratch his hair.

Damn, was this navigation route discovered by Spider-Man?

Let's change to a path that normal humans can take. Meng Bai looked around and saw a girl walking towards him from a distance.

"Hello, young lady. Excuse me, how do I get to this place?"

When the girl came closer, Meng Bai greeted her and handed her the location on his phone.

"Here..." The girl looked at the address on the phone, was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him and asked, "Are you looking for the crew of "Love Contract"? "

"Uh, yes."

"What a coincidence." The girl smiled and waved at Meng Bai: "I'm from the crew, come with me."

After that, she took Meng Bai to the building that blocked their way. She opened a half-closed door with familiarity, walked through a one-person-wide passage, and came directly to the wide road behind the building.

Meng Bai looked speechlessly at the small door behind him that automatically bounced back. It seemed that feelings could really pass through it directly!
"This is a shortcut, but it's usually hard for newcomers to find it." The girl seemed to see what he was thinking and said with a smile.

"Indeed." Meng Bai nodded: "Thank you very much, what's your name?"

"My last name is Zhou, you can just call me Xiao Zhou."

Xiao Zhou looked a bit cold and artistic, but she was quite enthusiastic. The two chatted as they walked. Xiao Zhou introduced herself as a new actor who had just graduated and played a small supporting role in the crew.

"Are you the new actor reporting to the crew?"

"No, I came to see a friend who happened to be on the set."

As they were talking, they came to the door of a building that looked like an art gallery. There was a sign on the door that read "Filming crew, no entry allowed."

"What's your friend's name? It's not easy to get into the crew. I can help you call him out." Xiao Zhou said enthusiastically.

Meng Bai thanked her, then shook his head and said, "Don't bother you, I'll just send her a message."

Xiao Zhou was about to say "No trouble" when she heard someone calling her. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was the producer who was in charge of the supporting actors in the crew calling her.

"Then I have to get busy. There is only one door here. You can wait for others here." Xiao Zhou said, then waved at him, hurried in, and then followed the middle-aged woman in.

From a distance, she could still hear the woman saying to her, "Yutong, go and prepare first..." and other work arrangements, as well as Xiao Zhou's response.

Tsk, what a warm-hearted girl.

Retracting his gaze, Meng Bai took out his phone, opened WeChat, and sent a message. Not long after, a young girl with an ordinary appearance ran down. It was Li Qin's assistant Jia Jia.

"Brother Meng, Sister Qinqin is filming right now and it should be finished soon. Why don't you wait in the lounge inside?" Although the young assistant didn't know about the "private" cooperation between Meng Li and Meng Bai, he knew that they had a good relationship, so his attitude towards Meng Bai also became closer.

"No, I just want to watch Teacher Li's performance." Meng Bai said with a smile. Following Jia Jia into the room, it was a quiet and busy scene. There were about 10 to 20 crew members standing in the outer circle, and no one noticed that there were outsiders coming in.

Meng Bai found a suitable angle to look inside, and at first sight he saw Li Qin sitting by the window.

Different from her previous cold image, her makeup and outfit this time are quite noble. She wears various shiny necklaces and earrings, and looks very much like the second female lead who often appears in Korean dramas.

The actress who played opposite her was an actress Meng Bai didn't know. It was unknown what the relationship between her and Li Qin's character was, but judging from their expressions, they didn't seem very friendly.

After watching for a while, Meng Bai couldn't help but smile.

Li Qin’s acting skills...how to describe it, it’s as “stable” as ever, not much different from when she was filming “Soul Ferry”, it’s always the same fixed routine.

Of course, compared to the "three acting tricks" commonly seen among new actors and actresses: frowning, glaring, and pouting, her moves are at least more advanced and not so exaggerated, but they also don't have much layers.

When Meng Bai was in school, he attended a few acting classes to accompany his girlfriend. He didn't remember other acting skills, but there was one sentence that always impressed him - a good actor does not perform the result, but the process.

Obviously, Miss Qin's acting skills are the opposite of this statement.

But then again, there are not many young actors who can reach this standard. In comparison, Li Qin's acting skills are at least good enough for ordinary idol dramas.

It was said to be "very fast", but including the time wasted on NGs, adjustments, director's guidance, etc., this scene took nearly an hour to finish.

"Huh." Li Qin breathed a sigh of relief. The filming was finally finished.

She is not the lead actress in this drama, but was asked by a friend to guest-star in a role similar to the male lead "Bai Yueguang". Although there are not many scenes, it took three days to shoot because of several scene changes.

He thanked the crew members around him, said hello to his friends, politely declined the invitation to dinner, and hesitated for more than ten minutes before finally finishing the polite conversation.

As soon as she walked out of the crowd, Li Qin looked up and saw Meng Bai standing in the corridor not far away, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

After taking two quick steps, she felt that she seemed a little too excited, so she slowed down her pace and walked slowly to the other person, trying to look calm and calm and said, "I'm here."

Seeing the girl coming over with this set of "silky little combos", Meng Bai suppressed his smile and responded.

Girl, did you know that tsundere has retired from the scene?
Li Qin, who had no idea that her little actions were seen by everyone, thought she had performed well. She asked Meng Bai to wait outside for a while. She changed into casual clothes in the lounge and then came out.

"Let's go." Li Qin and Meng Bai stood side by side, and said excitedly as they walked out: "Before when we were in Beijing North, you always treated me. Now that we are in Shanghai, it's my turn to arrange for you."

"No hurry." Meng Bai stopped her and said, "It just so happens that Lao Zhang is also in Shanghai. I asked him to come with me at noon."

Li Qin was stunned for a moment, then she realized that "Old Zhang" should be Zhang Ruoyun, and her face suddenly fell.

Really, I thought he came here just to see me, but I didn’t expect there was someone else.

"Haha, what a coincidence, he is also in Shanghai." Li Qin forced a smile and said, "Didn't he say in the group a few days ago that he had an audition recently? How come he is in Shanghai?"

Meng Bai gave him a strange look: "Because he came to Shanghai for an audition. He mentioned it in the group chat at the time, and you said you welcome him to bring his girlfriend to play."

"Oh, right." Li Qin then remembered that this was indeed the case: "Okay, let's ask him to come along. It won't be too much for him anyway."
