Chapter 247 "Rebirth: I am a rich girl"

Early in the morning, Yang Chaoyue came to the company early and began to prepare for today's work.

It has been less than a week since she started working, and she doesn't know much about many things. She needs to prepare in advance to avoid mistakes.

She knows that she is young, has low education, and has no experience, so she can only make up for it with diligence.

Although the job of the front desk is more complicated and difficult than she imagined before, she is already very satisfied.

After all, the front desk girl is better than the factory girl.

What's more, Arclight is still a film and television company. From time to time, you can see those stars that you could only see on TV before.

Just like just now, she saw "Xu Xian" in the 2006 CCTV version of "The Legend of the White Snake", but unfortunately she forgot the actor's name.

"Girl, there is a project meeting today, right? Where is it held?"

"Just go to the meeting room on the second floor."

"Okay. By the way, is President Meng here?"

"Sorry, I'm not sure about this."

Seeing a group of people going upstairs, Yang Chaoyue tilted her head and looked at them curiously.

The company seems to be launching some new projects today, and many directors, actors and the like have come.

Oh, I wish I were a star too. I heard that they can make a lot of money, and they can buy a house by shooting a movie.

When I have money, I will buy a house in Beijing North, and then buy another one in Shanghai, and change houses every month, hehe...

I was imagining the plot of "Rebirth: I am a Rich Lady" in my mind, and suddenly a familiar figure appeared in my sight.

"Hello, Mr. Meng!"

Yang Chaoyue called out a little stumblingly, and her face, which had been a little dim due to a busy morning, became bright again.

"Good morning."

Meng Bai, who had just entered the door, responded casually, walked a few steps, stopped and turned around to look at her.

Seeing this, Yang Chaoyue hurriedly adjusted her posture and tried to straighten her flat chest.

"Are the clothes new?"

"Yes." Yang Chaoyue nodded, with a smile on her face, "Thank you, Mr. Meng!"

As a film and television company, Arclight does not have any system requiring employees to wear uniform work clothes.

After all, the crew and the technicians in the post-production often work overtime all night, and they all dress as they please.

So as long as the style is not too weird, everyone dresses casually.

But Yang Chaoyue is different. She is the front desk, representing the first facade of Arclight. Dressing is not to say how formal, but also not too casual.

Her own clothes are some big shirts and the like, some of which are printed with other brands' trademarks, which look very cheap at first glance.

So Meng Bai asked the finance department to approve 2,000 yuan and let her buy a few clothes.

"Mr. Meng, is this okay?" Yang Chaoyue asked nervously and expectantly.

"Okay, it looks good."

Meng Bai nodded. Don't say it, "clothes make the man" is true.

When this little girl came for the interview, she was dressed in a mess, and she felt that she was just pretty.

Now she changed her clothes and hairstyle, and immediately turned into a young beauty.

It's just that she is a little young and full of childishness. She should look better when she grows up.

Hearing the boss's praise, Yang Chaoyue immediately became happy. But she immediately added: "Mr. Meng, the money for the clothes can be directly deducted when the salary is paid."

"No need, I bought it because of work needs, there is no reason for you to spend your own money."

He couldn't do such a shameless operation as spending employees' money to run company affairs.

After asking Yang Chaoyue to continue working, Meng Bai turned and went upstairs, but did not go directly to the meeting room, but went to the reception room next to it first.

Pushing the door open, a woman was already waiting inside.

"Hello, Mr. Meng, I am the agent of Mengyang Culture, you can just call me Xiao Qi."

The woman saw Meng Bai coming in and hurriedly stood up to introduce herself.

Mengyang Culture is an agency company that cooperates with Shanghai Ningmeng Film and Television. The relationship between the two is a bit similar to that of Arclight Film and Television and Taiyang Chuanhe.

The time of their establishment is similar, both were established just one or two years ago. The most famous artists under their company are Jiang Shuying and Chen Ruoxuan.

The woman in front of him, Xiao Qi, is Chen Ruoxuan's agent. As for the purpose of her coming today, it is mainly to apologize.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Meng, it's our fault that your company's planning and arrangements have been delayed." Xiao Qi looked embarrassed and apologetic.

According to Arclight's plan, the next two works of the "Green Ivy Series" should be "Psychological Crime 2" and then "Day and Night Chase".

Although it was not possible to openly establish the project because of the "Silent Agreement" with Leshi.com, the relevant preparatory work has already begun.

Naturally, it also includes the schedules of several leading actors.

Normally, it would have started filming at the end of the month. As a result, Chen Ruoxuan suddenly told him that it might take some time before he could join the crew.

Meng Bai leaned on the sofa, supporting his chin with one hand, his face as gloomy as water: "Huguang has communicated with you about the start time before, and there is also a gap of two or three months between them. I don't think there should be such a problem in scheduling."

"Yes, yes, you are right." Xiao Qi wiped the sweat off his forehead, "We didn't expect that the other drama had a temporary adjustment, which caused the shooting to be overdue."

Chen Ruoxuan was also a popular newcomer in the past two years with the popularity of "Psychological Crime".

He rejected Meng Bai's invitation before and did not join Huguang, but went to Mengyang Culture.

Ningmeng Film and Television, which is behind Mengyang Culture, is similar to Huguang. It is also a new label that has grown rapidly in recent years.

Backed by Dragon TV, it has a lot of resources and channels. For example, the recent filming is "Fighter of the Destiny" in cooperation with Penguin Pictures.

The male lead of this drama is Lu Han, one of the "four major traffic", and the female lead is Nazha, which is a rare male IP in recent years.

As a self-made artist, Chen Ruoxuan was given the role of the second male lead, and his role is quite important.

Meng Yang Culture had a good idea. Before the filming of "Psychological Crime 2" started, they could take on another drama to ensure maximum profits.

As a result, the crew suddenly changed the shooting plan for some reasons, resulting in the scenes that were originally supposed to be completed in mid-July being delayed until August.

At that time, Arc Light should have started filming long ago.

The situation is a bit awkward.

"Fighter of the Destiny" has been filmed halfway, and it must not be abandoned.

Meng Yang Culture had no choice but to contact Arc Light through the relationship of Penguin Pictures to see if it could be postponed for a period of time.

If it was another project, Meng Bai would not say anything nonsense and would directly blacklist and replace the actors.

But "Psychological Crime 2" is a sequel, and the audience already has a preconceived impression of the first one.

Changing people at this time, especially changing the male lead, has a huge impact on the sequel.

Coupled with Meng Yang Culture's sincere apology and compensation for the actors' pay and other subsequent aspects, Meng Bai agreed to postpone the project.

In this way, it is equivalent to swapping the shooting order of the two dramas, and the first to start shooting is "Day and Night Chase"

. Fortunately, Arc Light has not officially started the project preparation, so apart from the trouble of adjustment, there is no loss.

"The shooting of "Psychological Crime 2" will be adjusted to September." Meng Bai tapped the table and said, "I think everyone should not want any more problems, right?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Meng, there will definitely be no problems this time." Xiao Qi promised hurriedly.

At the same time, she was relieved. Although Mr. Meng's tone was unfriendly, he didn't make it too difficult, and finally solved the matter.

"Okay, then let's do it. I have something else to do here, so I won't send you off."

"It's okay, it's okay. You are busy, I won't bother you any more."

Watching the other party leave, Meng Bai shook his head and sighed.

Sure enough, if the actor is not one of his own, there will be many problems.

In addition to the two web dramas, the "Psychological Crime" series will also have a movie later.

There is no way for the web drama, and the choice of the leading actor is not easy.

But for the movie, he mentally pulled Chen Ruoxuan out of the list.

After thinking for a while, Meng Bai sorted out his thoughts and put the matter aside for the time being.

He stood up and went out to the meeting room not far away. The room was already full of people.

Liu Jun, Wang Wei, Liu Zhi, Pan Yueming, Wang Longzheng... and the main creative team of Arclight.

This is the project establishment meeting of "White Night Chase".
