Chapter 121 Song Zhi's "Five-kilometer Load"
Hengdian, Xiangjiang Street Hanyuan.
This is the main filming location of "The Disguiser". Most of the interior shots in the play, such as "Ming Mansion", "Municipal Government" and "No. 76", will be filmed here.
For this reason, Noon Sunshine also chose to hold the opening ceremony here.
"It didn't rain today." Before the ceremony started, Meng Bai looked at the sky and said to himself.
Li Xue on the side thought he was talking to him, and casually responded: "Where can it rain in Hengdian in January? If you say it snows, it's possible."
"That's right." Meng Bai turned his head and looked at Li Xue and said: "Director Li, I may be busy before the Spring Festival, and I may not be able to stay in the crew all the time."
"Soul Ferry 2" will be broadcast in a few days, and he will definitely have to go back for a few days at that time.
Li Xue naturally would not stop him. After all, Meng Bai is just a screenwriter and there is no need to stay on the set all the time.
Compared with the opening ceremonies of "Soul Ferry" and "Psychological Crime" before, the scale of "The Disguiser" is much larger. The entire crew, including actors and staff, can have about 100 to 200 people.
However, despite the large scale, the process is still the same. The efficiency of Noon Sunshine is also high, and it was finished in less than a morning.
"Teacher Meng Bai, we meet again."
Just after the ceremony, Meng Bai was about to go and chat with Hou Hongliang, and a woman with bright appearance and temperament came to him.
"Uh... Teacher Wang Ou, right?" Meng Bai searched his mind for memories and recognized that this woman was the Wang Ou he met when he went to the crew of "Nirvana in Fire".
Wang Ou showed a surprised and bright smile and said, "Teacher Meng still remembers me, I'm honored."
"I am always impressed by beautiful women." Meng Bai said casually, "What's the matter?"
"Ah, actually nothing, I mainly want to thank Teacher Meng." Wang Ou hurriedly said, "Thanks to you, I can get this role."
Wang Ou's role in "The Pretender" is "Wang Manchun", which is the role that Song Zhi wanted to audition for at the beginning.
This character is set as "Captain of Wang Puppet Special Agent No. 76" in the play. Although she is a villain, there are many plots, and she can even be regarded as a "female villain".
Previously, she played "Qin Banruo" in "Nirvana in Fire", a role similar to "Wang Manchun", a bright and shrewd femme fatale.
Noon Sunshine has always had the habit of using "acquaintances". When "The Pretender" was established, she was invited to audition for "Wang Manchun" of similar type.
However, during the audition, she seemed to be unsure of the strength and showed a bit too much charm. In contrast, her lines seemed too "righteous" because of her soft and positive tone.
Especially during the audition, she acted opposite Jin Dong, who played "Ming Lou". It didn't feel like a confrontation between good and evil, but rather like two underground comrades of our party were meeting.
It is precisely for this reason that in the final casting vote, many people felt that she might not be suitable. In the end, Meng Bai and Li Xue discussed together and felt that her appearance and temperament were indeed more suitable, so it was finally decided.
But at the same time, he also made it clear to her that during filming, she could try to get the tone that the role required. But if the final film is not good, then dubbing may be used.
Wang Ou naturally agreed to this request, and he always wanted to thank Meng Bai. Unfortunately, this screenwriter teacher has been "seen from head to tail" until today's opening ceremony, when he finally saw him.
Hearing Wang Ou's thanks, Meng Bai waved his hand indifferently: "It has nothing to do with me. It's mainly because your image fits the role, and Director Li thinks that you performed well in "Nirvana in Fire" before, so he finally decided to do it."
"Teacher Meng, you are polite. Director Li told me that it was your support for the last vote that gave me this opportunity." Wang Ou said seriously: "Anyway, thank you very much."
Like many non-professional actors, Wang Ou, who debuted as a model, has not been very popular despite having been a minor role for many years. Until now, he can only be regarded as a third-tier actor.
Relatively speaking, the drama of Noon Sunshine is already a very good resource for her, not to mention such a brilliant role in the plot.
Therefore, she was very grateful to Li Xue and Meng Bai who finally decided on her.
Although the other party may not care about this kind of gratitude, as a beneficiary, she must express her feelings, at least she can't let others think that she is a person who doesn't know how to be grateful.
"No problem, as long as you perform well and play the role well."
"Don't worry, I will work hard."
Wang Ou has been in the circle for many years, so he knows that it's enough to convey his gratitude. It would be a bit annoying to say more. So after thanking him, he said goodbye and left.
Not long after walking away, she accidentally looked back and unexpectedly saw a young girl next to Meng Bai.
She had just seen the other party when the role was introduced at the opening ceremony. It was a girl named Song Zhi, who played the heroine "Yu Manli" in the "Mingtai Line" in the play.
Wang Ou looked at her from a distance. Although Meng Bai and Song Zhi were separated by a lot and there was no special action between them, she always felt intuitively that there seemed to be some different intimacy between the two people.
Is it a friend you know? Wang Ou thought secretly, and at the same time remembered the name Song Zhi in his heart.
On the other side.
"Meng Bai." Song Zhi called softly.
She hesitated for a long time just now, but still felt that she should come over to say hello.
"How are the preparations going?" Meng Bai asked.
Song Zhi nodded: "Don't worry, it's okay."
"I heard that we have to shoot those action scenes first after the start of filming, you have to be mentally prepared."
"I know, I have been doing fitness training recently, and there is no problem with action scenes."
"Ha! Fitness training? You?" Meng Bai had an "unbelievable" expression.
When they were in college, Song Zhi also said that she wanted to run for exercise, and asked him to accompany her every morning.
As a result, after a semester, Meng Bai felt that she had no problem running a half marathon. The number of times this girl could really get up and go downstairs in the morning was no more than three times.
Twice, she said that her legs cramped after running just two steps, which turned Meng Bai's "free five kilometers" into a "weighted five kilometers".
Hearing the other party's doubts, Song Zhi's face turned red, and he obviously thought of his own "feat" in college.
"It's true this time!" She emphasized with a flushed face: "I have been exercising recently. If you don't believe me, wait and see when we shoot."
"OK." Meng Bai said: "Then I will wait and see how effective your exercise is."
"Humph!"
Song Zhi snorted, obviously very angry about Meng Bai's doubts.
Glancing at him, she suddenly found a strange long object on his neck.
"Don't move." Song Zhi shouted, then moved closer to Meng Bai and reached out to grab it.
