Chapter 142: Jealous Teacher Li
As soon as Zhang Rui finished speaking, the audience looked at the exit with bated breath.
A tall, casual-looking young man came out.
Is this the screenwriter Meng Bai? The audience all had a question mark in their hearts.
It's no wonder they were confused. In the minds of many viewers, the image of the "screenwriter" of the drama "Soul Ferry" should be a man in his thirties, with an artistic appearance and a mysterious temperament.
Although the young man in front of him looked very handsome, there was still some deviation from the image in his mind.
In the eyes of suspicion and speculation, this "young man" walked to the middle of the stage, took the microphone, and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, I am Meng Bai, the producer and screenwriter of the "Soul Ferry" series."
It turned out to be Meng Bai!
There was an exclamation at the scene, followed by loud cheers, and many girls shouted "Meng Bai, love you!"
Meng Bai stood on the stage, always maintaining a mature and steady smile. After the noise died down, he continued to express his gratitude to the audience, and then sat down with Li Qin and the others.
"Your acting is pretty good." Li Qin, who was sitting next to him, kept her lips still and said in a low voice.
This guy always looks lazy and rude in private, but who would have thought that he would instantly become "reserved and deep" after he got on stage.
"When facing the audience, you always have to maintain some personality." Meng Bai turned his head towards Li Qin, raised his eyebrows, and said in a low and slightly magnetic voice: "Besides, doesn't Teacher Li like this style, huh?"
"..."
Li Qin looked ahead and didn't say anything. On the surface, she looked calm. But only she knew that when Meng Bai spoke just now, she really paused for a breath.
Well, she seemed to like this style, or rather, she liked Meng Bai's style, because there was a charm that was not usually seen.
It's not only men who like contrast, women are actually the same.
Today's meeting was divided into three parts. First, the creators talked about the behind-the-scenes stories and highlights of the filming, read the comments and messages on the Internet, and answered questions from the audience. Then they interacted with the audience, and several leading actors performed a few programs. Finally, there were autographs, handshakes, group photos, etc.
After a series of questions to the leading actors, one question finally came to Meng Bai.
"Hello, Meng Bai!"
In the front row, a girl who looked a little quiet took the microphone handed over by the staff and asked nervously: "I heard that because of censorship reasons, this season has combined the plots of the second and third parts, and deleted many units. Is this true?"
After the girl asked the question, there was a whisper at the scene.
The news about the "plot deletion" has actually been widely circulated during the broadcast. Many viewers believed it and found many "details".
For example, at the roadshow when the first season was broadcast, the director had heard about the "trilogy" plan; for example, compared with the volume of 20 episodes in the first season, the number of episodes in the second season increased; for example, the story rhythm in the first half of the second season was similar to that in the first season, but in the second half, the main plot began to be rushed.
These are all "evidence" dug up by the audience.
However, the crew has never officially answered this question, so no matter how confident everyone is, it is just speculation.
Unexpectedly, someone really brought this question to the meeting to ask, and the curiosity of the audience was immediately raised.
Feeling the expectation and curiosity of the scene, Meng Bai picked up the microphone: "Let me talk about this question. Yes, the stories of the original second and third seasons were indeed merged together due to some "technical factors."
As soon as he said this, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Although this statement was due to "technical means", everyone understands that apart from censorship, there are no other factors that can force the crew to actively reduce the plot.
Meng Bai naturally thought about how the audience would react, so before waiting for the voice to rise, he immediately said: "But don't worry, we will use other peripheral forms such as official novels or comics in the future to let these deleted unit stories meet you in a different way."
The reverse novel of the online drama has always been the "reserved method" of Arclight Films in IP development, especially after cooperating with Boji Tianjuan, the advantage in this regard is more obvious.
Of course, this is not completely cutting the leeks of drama fans.
All adapted novels will add new stories and branches to the original drama plot, and explain some background that has not been finished in the drama.
No matter how wonderful it is, at least the audience who buys the book must feel that it is not a loss.
The questions continued. Following the girl just now, another young boy stood up and asked: "Meng Bai, I want to ask that although "Soul Ferry" has come to an end, it feels that there are still some stories that have not been finished, such as Zhao Li's previous life. So I want to ask, will there be new stories in this series later?"
This time it was still Meng Bai who answered, or in other words, only he knew the answer.
"There are follow-up stories to the Soul Ferry series. I originally wanted to bring it up when the time is right, but since you asked, I'll give you a brief introduction."
Meng Bai said, "Let's not talk about the peripheral adaptations of novels and comics. There may be a few special episodes in the film and television works, but it's not certain what form they will be presented in. I can first reveal the name of a project, Soul Ferry: Huangquan, which is a story that takes place hundreds of years before the main story timeline, and it will involve Zhao Li's past experiences."
Now, not to mention the audience, even Wu Bai, Yu Yi and others beside were also surprised.
After all, before this, they didn't know there was a "special episode".
"What is this special episode?" Taking advantage of the end of the question session, Li Qin leaned over and asked in a low voice.
"Children should not ask about social affairs." Meng Bai said: "Anyway, there is no role for you, so it's useless to know."
"You..."
Li Qin's breath was choked in his throat. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many audiences on the scene, he would have to duel with this guy today.
The meeting lasted for about two hours. After the interactive session, the rest was to line up for autographs and photos, and then leave.
Not surprisingly, the popularity of the screenwriter Meng Bai was no less than that of several leading actors, and many girls pulled him to take photos.
Meng Bai did not refuse, and smiled and cooperated with everyone to pose. At first glance, he looked like a "hug left and right".
Until the last audience left, everyone on the stage finally breathed a sigh of relief. After being tired for a long time, they all went back to the backstage to rest.
Li Qin just came out of the bathroom and saw Meng Bai standing backstage with Zhang Rui, the host today.
They didn't know what they said, and Zhang Rui covered his mouth and laughed softly. Then she took out her phone again, and from the action, she wanted to add Meng Bai's WeChat.
"Mr. Meng, is it convenient to add WeChat? You can contact me if there are activities in the future." Zhang Rui looked at Meng Bai and showed a bright smile.
"Okay." Meng Bai did not refuse, smiled faintly, and handed over the phone screen: "Scan me."
Zhang Rui was stunned, usually it was others who added her.
But she didn't have any strange expression at all. She scanned the QR code and was about to remind the other party that her application had been sent, but she didn't expect Meng Bai to put the phone away.
There was no way, she could only keep smiling and said: "Then Mr. Meng, let's see you next time, don't forget to approve my application."
Meng Bai nodded: "Okay, goodbye."
Seeing Zhang Rui's back disappearing at the corner of the corridor, Meng Bai sighed lightly, shook his head and smiled.
"Mr. Meng is popular with women." Li Qin's voice came faintly from beside him.
Meng Bai was almost startled: "No, Teacher Li, you walk without making any sound?"
"Isn't it because I'm afraid it will affect your chat with the girl?" Li Qin gestured to the phone in his hand: "If you don't let them through, don't let them clear their data and you can't find it later."
Meng Bai looked at Li Qin, whose expression was calm but whose tone was weird, and nodded deliberately, opened WeChat and said: "That makes sense, and you have to add a note, so as not to get confused later."
Seeing this, Li Qin couldn't help but frown.
Sure enough, he is a playboy, and he really added me when I asked him to!
Just as she was sulking, she suddenly heard her WeChat ring. She opened her phone and saw that Meng Bai had sent her a message.
[Note: Jealous Teacher Li]
Li Qin's face flushed instantly, she looked up at Meng Bai, and sure enough, she saw that this guy was looking at her with a teasing smile on his face.
"You, you are jealous!" Li Qin said in a panic, "I'm not."
"Yeah, I believe it."
"I wasn't!" Li Qin said with a red face, "I just reminded you."
"Well, thank you, Teacher Li." Meng Bai smiled calmly, "But fish farmers never take the initiative to go into other people's fish ponds."
Li Qin blinked in confusion, and this sounded strange.
Meng Bai didn't wait for her to react, and changed the subject, "Let's go to the celebration banquet tonight."
