Chapter 149 I said we would see each other again
"Teacher Meng Bai." Li Xue patted his bald head and looked at Meng Bai: "Give me a candidate for the replacement actor."
"I'm thinking about it now." Meng Bai sighed.
He had only thought about getting rid of Chen Qian before, and really hadn't considered the issue of who to replace him.
He didn't have much time to choose. The crew had been slow to progress the plot related to this role because of various accidents before.
And not only the remaining plot, but also the parts that had been filmed before had to be filmed again.
Although it's not a lot, it will take about a week to catch up.
So Meng Bai must decide on the candidate within one or two days.
If there is really no one to recommend in the end, then Noon Sunshine can only contact other suitable candidates.
From the perspective of the company's interests, Meng Bai's best choice is to use his own family.
However, the two girls of Arc Light Film and Television at present, Zhu Xudan's face is too young, and her image can't support the role; Li Yitong's image is okay, but her acting skills will definitely not meet the requirements of Li Xue and others.
According to the character setting, it would be best to find a girl who is upright, aloof, and has the temperament of a lady from a noble family, and she should not be too old.
More importantly, the other party must have a schedule.
Meng Bai combined these conditions in his mind, and then quickly screened the young actresses he had worked with or had an impression of.
How should I put it, there are still many who meet the conditions.
But if I really want to choose someone...
a delicate face with tears in the corners of the eyes flashed before my eyes.
"Director Li." Meng Bai said, "I actually have a recommended candidate."
-
Jinhua, Yiwu Airport Terminal.
Li Qin wore a baseball cap, a mask and sunglasses on her face, and walked out of the airport pick-up gate tightly wrapped.
Looking around, she found that no one seemed to notice her, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
That's right, this trip was a sudden trip, not to mention the fans, even she herself made a temporary decision.
She had just finished the promotion of the broadcast period of "Soul Ferry 2" not long ago, and originally planned to rest for ten days and half a month.
Unexpectedly, within two days of being free, the company gave her an audition invitation for a drama.
She was going to refuse at first, but when she heard that it was a spy drama project, she couldn't help but read the script.
For confidentiality and the needs of the project itself, the audition scripts given to actors usually either have no name or may not be the name of the project.
But despite this, Li Qin looked at the script called "Secret Guardian" in her hand, and the more she read it, the more familiar the plot felt.
Could it be that this guy's project?
But that's not right. His project has been launched for more than a month. Why would he send an invitation now?
Li Qin's mind was full of various thoughts, and the more she thought about it, the more confused she became.
Finally, she decided to go and see it first.
So there was this sudden trip today.
"Sister Qinqin, look over there, it should be the crew coming to pick you up at the airport." Assistant Jia Jia pointed to a place not far away and said.
Li Qin looked over there, and sure enough, she saw a man holding a sign that read "Secret Guardian crew picking you up at the airport."
Her mind moved, and her eyes fell on the man-unfortunately, he was not the person she imagined.
She felt a little disappointed, but she quickly straightened her mood and walked towards the other person.
When she came closer to hand over, it turned out that the other person was the person who came to pick her up. After introducing each other, they went to the parking lot together.
When she opened the car door, Li Qin found that there was someone else in the driver's seat.
"Oh, this is the driver of our crew." The staff member who picked her up introduced.
The driver nodded back with his face tilted, which was considered a greeting. Li Qin smiled back politely, and looked at the driver's dress, but she couldn't help but feel a little confused.
It's only March. Is the sun really so strong that the driver needs to wear a hat and sunglasses to drive?
"Master, are we going directly to the crew?" Li Qin asked, "How long will it take on the road?"
The staff member who was still in the co-pilot seat said, "Yes, the crew is rushing to make progress recently, so we will go directly there. The journey will take about 50 minutes."
Since Yiwu Airport was fully opened to the public last year, there is no need to go to Xiaoshan to get to Hengdian, which can save an hour of driving.
Li Qin thanked him and turned back to give a few more instructions to the assistant.
After waiting for a while and finding that the car did not move, she leaned forward to look at the front row, only to find that the driver in the driver's seat was asking the staff in the passenger seat how to turn off the air conditioner.
Isn't it a bit absurd that you, a driver, don't know the buttons of the car?
Li Qin frowned, sat up straight, adjusted the angle and observed the face of the "driver" from the middle rearview mirror.
Although wearing a hat and sunglasses, he still looks quite young. The nose is high, the cheeks are firm, and the corners of the mouth are smiling...
Strange, why does it feel so familiar?
Wait, Li Qin suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at the small black mole on the right nose of the "driver" in the mirror.
In her impression, there is another guy who has the same black mole in this place.
"Meng Bai!"
A cry full of resentment scared everyone in the car.
Li Qin didn't have the energy to care about other people's reactions at this time, and her eyes were fixed on the person in the driver's seat.
The "driver" was stunned for a moment, then took off his hat and sunglasses, turned around, and revealed a familiar face.
"Okay, Teacher Li, you have a good eye." Meng Bai poked his head and said with a smile: "I'm covered like this, and you can still recognize me."
"You...it turns out to be you." Li Qin pursed her lips and said with mixed feelings.
"I told you." Meng Bai showed a bright smile: "As long as we are still in this circle, we will always meet again."
A few minutes later.
"So..." Li Qin said: "You drove away the original investor, and then a starring role was vacant."
"Correction, I didn't mean to 'drive away', but that person was too ambitious and low-level, and finally drove himself away." Meng Bai explained.
He just told the girl the whole cause and effect of the whole thing, so that she would know the situation.
"So, you want me to save the situation?"
Meng Bai spread his hands: "I really can't think of anyone more suitable than you."
After saying that, he lightly bumped Li Qin's shoulder: "Teacher Li, with our relationship, you won't not help me, right?"
Li Qin couldn't help showing a smile at the corner of her mouth: "It's not impossible to help, but how do you thank me?"
"The kindness of this hero, I can only repay him with my body, so that..."
"Are you going to die? What nonsense!"
Meng Bai was interrupted by Li Qin when he was halfway through his words. The girl covered his mouth with a flushed face, and then looked nervously at the assistant in front and the real driver.
The latter two had a blank expression on their faces, as if they were not distracted by anything that happened behind.
"Okay, okay, I promise you." Li Qin let go of her hand and said, "But I don't know if the crew director can pass it. I heard that Noon Sunshine has very high requirements for the quality of the project."
"Don't worry, just play normally." Meng Bai said, "Since I asked the crew to send you an invitation, I must be sure."
Seeing that he was so confident in himself, Li Qin felt more at ease.
The one-hour drive passed in a flash, and soon returned to the set.
Although because of the on-the-spot substitution and tight schedule, Li Xue and the others did not relax the requirements too much, and still adopted the form of voting by the director team to decide the audition results.
Fortunately, it was similar to what Meng Bai had estimated before.
Li Qin's image is more in line with the requirements of the role of "Cheng Jinyun", and as for acting skills, it is also enough.
At least the effect is definitely much better than the "stand-in + close-up" that was decided before.
"Thank you for your help. Let's work together from now on."
After the audition, Li Xue said politely to Li Qin.
He thought Meng Bai would recommend an actor from his own company, and he would take this opportunity to promote a newcomer.
Unexpectedly, he found a very suitable candidate for the crew in the end.
More importantly, the girl actually agreed to this temporary invitation.
It can only be said that the relationship between the two should be very good, both in public and in private.
However, it seems that there is more than one girl in the crew who has a good relationship with Meng Bai.
