Chapter 335 If it's the boss, it's not impossible

. The lights are on in a hot pot restaurant in Sanlitun.

"Why are you wearing sunglasses so late at night?" Meng Bai asked Meng Ziyi, whose face was covered tightly.

"Isn't it because I'm afraid of being recognized by others?" Meng Ziyi took off his mask, sunglasses and baseball cap. "After all, I'm a popular actor now, and I'm very popular. When I walked in just now, many people were looking at me. They probably recognized me."

"Is there a possibility that even if it's a dog wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night, everyone can't help but take a second look."

"No, I think it's worth watching a dog wearing sunglasses at any time..."

Yang Chaoyue, who was standing aside, looked at the two people who were arguing with each other, and felt in his heart - they are worthy of being a family, even the tone and thinking of arguing are exactly the same.

Until the waiter brought the dishes, the two "Meng family members" finally stopped quarreling.

"So..." Meng Bai poured the ingredients into the pot and asked casually, "Xiao Yang, what's the matter?"

Yang Chaoyue and Meng Ziyi looked at each other, and then in the encouraging eyes of each other, they repeated their thoughts.

"... I'm average, and I don't feel like I have much ability to do anything else. During the last filming, the director said that I had some talent, so I wanted to see if I could be an actor or something, maybe there would be a chance."

Yang Chaoyue finished all her thoughts in one breath, and then looked at Meng Bai pitifully.

"Gurgle, gurgle..."

As the temperature of the base material in the pot rose, bubbles emerged one by one. Floating on the water, and then exploded.

"I actually watched some of your scenes in "Flower House." Meng Bai said, "Do you want to know how I evaluate it?"

"Boss, you say."

"If you are a passerby who has never filmed a movie, then your performance is okay, at least it is natural. But if you are an actor, then I can only say, what a shitty performance."

Yang Chaoyue's face turned pale, her eyes instantly turned red, and she bit her lip and didn't speak.

Meng Ziyi, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and hurriedly said, "Chaoyue is mainly because she has never learned acting. Actually..."

"Since you know you haven't learned it, why do you still want to be an actor?" Meng Bai looked over, "Is the audience's time not valuable?"

"This..." Meng Ziyi was speechless.

Meng Bai ignored her and turned back to continue, "Let's not talk about these ability factors first. The entertainment industry looks glamorous, but only people in the industry know the filth inside. You are a pretty girl with no background and no connections. Isn't it like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth to come in?"

Yang Chaoyue lowered her head and was silent for a long time. Finally, she stammered, "Boss, you are not my background..." "

Hey, are you still planning to rely on me? Girl, I am your boss, not your father. Helping you requires rewards."

As he said, Meng Bai looked at her with a playful smile, "You can think about what you can do to repay me, huh?"

Yang Chaoyue's heart tightened when she was looked at. It was the first time she saw her boss's expression like this. If there is a real look, with a strong aggressiveness, it makes people very uncomfortable.

"I...I..."

She hesitated, not knowing what to say.

Unexpectedly, Meng Bai suddenly retracted his gaze and returned to his usual elegant and casual expression: "Look, this is just the simplest and most common scene in the circle, how do you feel?"

Meng Ziyi on the side looked over in surprise: "Wow, little uncle, you are amazing, your acting just now was really great!"

Meng Bai picked up the cup and glanced at her with amusement: "How do you know that I was not acting myself just now?"

"Ah?" Meng Ziyi was stunned, then laughed dryly and said: "It shouldn't be."

"So, you are not much more experienced than others, don't always pretend to be a big sister."

Meng Bai muttered, and then took a sip of tea leisurely.

Unexpectedly, Yang Chaoyue on the side suddenly whispered: "Actually, if it's you, the boss, I can do it too..."

"Cough, cough cough cough..."

Meng Bai almost spit out a mouthful of water, stuck in his throat and coughed for a long time.

Meng Ziyi on the side even opened his mouth wide and looked over.

What does it mean? I treat you as my little friend, but you actually want to be my little aunt!

Yang Chaoyue didn't expect that her words would cause such a big reaction from the two of them, and she quickly blushed and said, "I'm sorry, boss, I was just joking."

She was originally a person with a rather erratic personality. She was suppressed by the atmosphere just now, and somehow she blurted out such a sentence.

Meng Ziyi gave her a thumbs up: "Okay, Chaoyue, I suddenly realized that you are actually more suitable for those variety shows, and you will definitely have a good show effect."

Meng Bai, who was calming down, cursed in his heart, is this a "show effect"? Is this a "horror effect" okay?

But I have to say that after such a slowdown, at least the strange atmosphere in the room before was swept away.

"Sorry, boss." Yang Chaoyue apologized and poured a glass of water for Meng Bai, "I just think you are a good person, even if you pretended to be like that just now, you are not scary."

Ha, let's not talk about what happened just now, you little girl actually gave me a "good guy card"!

Looking at the flattering smile on Yang Chaoyue's face, Meng Bai waved his hand and said, "Forget it, since you have made up your mind, I won't say much. Since the company has promised that the year-end bonus of 100,000 yuan can be equal to the amount of the wish, I will not default on it."

After thinking for a while, he suddenly thought of the planned variety show of the girl group idol that Fang Fang had mentioned to him in the afternoon .

Don't say it, for Yang Chaoyue, this is really a good opportunity.

Idols don't need to have any special skills, as long as they can be likable and attract fans.

Moreover, this kind of talent show itself has a certain element of cultivation, which is also suitable for a girl like her who can't do anything.

Hey, speaking of "can't do anything"...

"Xiao Yang, can you sing?" Meng Bai asked.

Yang Chaoyue shook her head cutely.

"What about dancing?" Meng Bai asked: "Did you have a foundation before?"

Yang Chaoyue thought about it and said hesitantly: "Well, I guess I have a little bit..."

Now, not to mention Meng Bai, even Meng Ziyi was surprised and couldn't help looking up and down at his friend.

You can't see this at all?

"Ballet? Classical?"

"Uh, the basics of radio gymnastics."

Meng Bai, Meng Ziyi: ...

Meng Bai took a deep breath, and he suddenly felt that what Meng Ziyi said actually made sense. This girl is indeed quite suitable for variety shows.

After calming down, he continued: "Now there are two paths for you to choose. One is to be an actor. I can help you find a basic class at the Central Academy of Drama, and then help you get a place in the basic acting class of "Shanxia Academy"."

"Shanxia Academy" is an acting training institution that Zhou Xun, Chen Kun and director Chen Guofu just established a few months ago. It includes a newcomer class, a professional class and a master class, and the tuition fee is 80,000 yuan per term.

And this is really not something you can get into by paying money, because it is a small class teaching, and there are only 20 to 30 places in three classes in one term.

Despite this, the first term just established received countless applications.

Let's not talk about the teaching quality first, you have to know that these founders are also top figures in the industry. If you are lucky enough to be selected, maybe you can rise straight up.

In comparison, the tuition fee of 80,000 yuan is really not expensive.

Listening to Meng Bai's introduction, Yang Chaoyue's eyes flashed with light. Although she didn't know much about the situation in the circle, she also knew how rare this opportunity was.

The only worry was that she didn't know whether she had the talent for acting or not, and she didn't want to be persuaded to quit because of her poor ability.

She didn't care whether she quit or not, but she was mainly afraid of losing face for her boss.

Seeing the girl's hesitation, Meng Bai smiled and continued, "There is another choice, which is to be an idol."

Then, Meng Bai told her about the situation of "Produce 101".

"This program will start registration after the New Year, and the screening will start around March or April. If you want to choose this, you can have about half a year to intensively train singing and dancing."

Meng Bai spread his hands: "How to choose, you decide for yourself."

After that, he added: "From your current ability, I personally recommend choosing the second one. But don't worry too much, even if you fail, you can still come back to be a front desk girl."

Yang Chaoyue hesitated. Choosing an actor is low-risk and safe, but the success rate seems to be low.

Choosing an idol is risky and there is a high chance of being rejected, but just like what the boss said, it is more suitable for her situation where she knows nothing.

How should I choose?
