Chapter 80: Prideful Retirees (Subscription Request)

Shanghai, Putuo Creative Park.

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

Don't say it, this place is really full of various standard impressions of artistic atmosphere. After walking here for a while, even Meng Bai, a vulgar person, felt that he had a little more artistic temperament.

The only problem is that the high and low buildings and the crooked roads are a bit too artistic. He searched for a long time but couldn't find the destination.

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

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

It's better to change to a normal human route. Meng Bai looked around and saw a girl walking over from a distance.

"Hello, girl. 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 am from the crew, come with me."

After that, she took Meng Bai to the downstairs of the building that blocked the way. He 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 at the small door behind him that bounced back automatically speechlessly. It felt like he could really pass through it directly!

"This is a shortcut, but it is generally difficult for people who just arrived 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 looks like a girl who is a little cold and artistic, but she is 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 who reported to the crew?"

"No, I came to find a friend who happened to be in the crew."

As the two talked, they came to the door of a building that looked like an art gallery. There was a sign hanging at the door, which read "The crew is shooting, no entry for idle people."

"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 him, 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 suddenly heard someone calling her. Looking in the direction of the voice, she saw that it was the producer sister in charge of the supporting actors in the crew who was calling her.

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

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

Tsk, a very enthusiastic girl.

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

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

"No, I just want to observe 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 a circle outside, and no one noticed that someone had come in.

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

Unlike her previous cold image, her makeup and dress this time were quite noble, wearing all kinds of shining necklaces and earrings, and she looked very much like the second female lead who often appeared in Korean dramas. The actress who

played opposite her was an actress Meng Bai didn't know, and he didn't know what the relationship was between her and Li Qin's character, but just looking at their expressions, they didn't seem very friendly.

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

Li Qin's acting... how to say it, as "stable" as ever, not much different from when she was filming "Soul Ferry", it was always the same fixed routine.

Of course, compared to the "three treasures of acting" commonly seen by new actors, frowning, staring, and pouting, her routine is at least more advanced and not so exaggerated, but there is no level either.

When Meng Bai was in school, he attended several 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 is the opposite of this sentence.

But then again, there are not many young actors who can perform to this standard. In comparison, Li Qin's acting skills are at least enough to be used in ordinary idol dramas.

It's called "very fast", but including the time wasted on NG, debugging, director's guidance, etc., this scene took nearly an hour to finish.

"Huh." Li Qin breathed a sigh of relief, and finally finished filming.

She is not the lead actor 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 shots, it took three days to finish because there are several scene changes.

She thanked the crew members around her, said hello to her friends, and politely declined the invitation to dinner. She dawdled for more than ten minutes before finally ending the courtesy.

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 lit up immediately.

After taking two quick steps, she felt that she seemed a little too excited, so she quickly slowed down her pace and walked to the other person slowly, trying to make a calm expression and said in a calm tone: "I am coming."

Seeing this girl's "silky little combo" coming over, Meng Bai suppressed her smile and responded.

Girl, do you know that tsundere is out of the market!

Li Qin, who didn't know that her little moves were seen by everyone, thought she performed well, so she asked Meng Bai to wait outside for a while, and she changed into casual clothes in the lounge before walking 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 Jingbei, you always treated me. Now that we are in Shanghu, 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 Shanghu. I asked him to come with me at noon."

Li Qin was stunned, and then realized that "Lao Zhang" should be Zhang Ruoyun, and her face suddenly shrank.

Really, I thought he came to see me specially, but I didn't expect there was someone else.

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

Meng Bai looked at him strangely: "Because he came to Shanghu for an audition. He said so in the group at that time, and you also said that he was welcome to bring his girlfriend to play."

"Oh, that's right." Li Qin then remembered that it seemed to be true: "Okay, then ask him to come along, anyway, he won't be 'more'."
