Chapter 150 Two Women
After the audition, Li Qin had no objection to participating in the performance, and they had reached a preliminary cooperation intention.
Although the crew's current shooting schedule is very urgent, they did not let her join the crew directly.
Firstly, Noon Sunshine still needs to discuss the specific contract details with Li Qin's management team; in addition, they also need to set aside a few days for Li Qin to prepare for the role.
"If you don't understand anything about the role or the plot, you can discuss it in time." Li Xue said, "Or you can ask Meng Bai directly, after all, you are more familiar with it."
Meng Bai patted Li Xue generously and said, "Don't worry, Director Li, I will definitely guide you personally."
Li Xue glanced at him. He really wanted to say that you can guide however you like, as long as the final performance is good, I don't care even if you work late into the night.
But this is not suitable to say, so he can only laugh, say thank you for your hard work, and then let Meng Bai take Li Qin to familiarize herself with the crew first.
"This is the main building of Hanyuan. We call it the Little White Building. It mainly features interior shots. However, your character doesn't have many scenes here. Just take a look..." "Guide Meng" took Li Qin around the set and introduced her to the crew.
Li Qin looked at the busy staff and asked in confusion, "I remember this project is a big production with two story lines. Why doesn't it feel like there are so many people?"
"The other line has independent stories and characters. They are all in the film and television base in Shanghai." Meng Bai said, "Those who are still in Hengdian are basically the ones who have scenes with your character."
"Hmm..." Li Qin sighed, "Now that you mention that, I suddenly feel so stressed."
This is equivalent to half of the crew waiting for her alone.
"Don't worry, Director Li and the others think you can do it, so there's no problem." Meng Bai comforted her, "Besides, I'm here. If you have any questions about the role and the plot, come to me at any time. This screenwriter is open 24 hours a day."
"24 hours?" Li Qin looked at him, "Is it also possible in the middle of the night?"
"After 11 o'clock in the evening, we can provide door-to-door service, no less than four hours each time." Meng Bai said sincerely.
"Who wants your door-to-door service!"
"Oh, then you can come to my place."
"..."
Li Qin rolled her eyes.
I can't talk about it anymore. No matter how I talk about this topic, I will suffer.
Meng Bai smiled when he saw this, but then again, he really wasn't talking nonsense.
The role of "Cheng Jinyun" didn't account for a large proportion of the plot from the beginning, and later because of several revisions, there was even less plot left.
Taking the opportunity of changing actors, Meng Bai re-sorted out the fragmented plot that had been changed before.
According to the actual preference of the crew during filming, the setting of the couple between "Cheng Jinyun" and the male lead "Mingtai" was downplayed, and the emphasis was placed on the comradeship of like-minded people.
As for the "intimate" scenes that were added because of Chen Qian's request, they were all deleted by him.
"Someone has been injured once before, what if another one is injured?"
It must be said that this reason is so convincing that Li Xue and the others have nothing to say about it.
"Meng Bai!"
A girl's cry suddenly sounded from behind.
Meng Bai heard the voice and took a deep breath.
That's not right. I obviously saw this young lady and didn't shoot today, so how come I still met her?
Li Qin didn't notice the strangeness of the people around him. When he heard someone calling his name, he subconsciously looked over in the direction of the voice.
I saw a girl with a bun, delicate eyebrows and fair skin walking towards this side quickly.
"It seems someone is looking for you." Li Qin pulled Meng Bai and reminded him.
"Yes, I heard it."
Meng Bai sighed inaudibly, then put on a natural smile and turned to look over.
Sure enough, he saw Song Zhi walking not far away.
"Meng Bai, I heard... huh?"
Song Zhi paused, and she suddenly found that there was a woman standing next to Meng Bai.
She was tall, with long hair down to her waist, standing tall in plain casual clothes, with a cool temperament.
Hey, wait, isn't this...
Song Zhi said in surprise: "Are you, Li Qin?"
"Hello." Li Qin nodded, and then looked at the other party with some doubts: "Have we... met before?"
Song Zhi smiled: "Indeed, I have. At that time, I was in the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions", and I played Xiangling, and we met."
"Xiangling? Ah, you are the one, uh..."
Li Qin pursed her lips anxiously.
It was so embarrassing. The name was on the tip of my tongue, but I couldn't remember it.
Meng Bai on the side coughed lightly and said, "Let me introduce you. This is Song Zhi, the actor of 'Yu Manli' in this drama."
After that, he gestured to Li Qin, "This is Teacher Li Qin, who is here to help take over the role of 'Cheng Jinyun'."
Song Zhi suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. I thought it would take a few days to find a candidate."
After that, she looked at Li Qin again, stretched out her hand and smiled, "Welcome to join the crew."
"Thank you."
Looking at the two people who were polite to each other, Meng Bai suddenly realized that their awkward relationship of being half-familiar was actually quite good. At least they wouldn't be able to talk to each other in a short time.
Song Zhi and Li Qin chatted for a few words.
Although they had worked together before, it was too long and they didn't have much friendship afterwards; secondly, they didn't have much contact when they were in the crew, and they couldn't find a topic to talk about nostalgia.
Seeing that the atmosphere was slowly cooling down, Song Zhi couldn't help but look at Meng Bai on the side.
Seeing her seeking help, Meng Bai laughed, but still found an excuse to call her aside.
"You didn't shoot today, why are you here?" Meng Bai asked his doubts.
"Director Li sent a message saying that he was going to shoot the scenes that were previously vacant. I guess he must have found a replacement actor, so I came to take a look." Song Zhi said, "I just didn't expect it to be her."
Meng Bai asked calmly, "Are you familiar with each other?"
"Generally, we communicated when we were on the crew, but not much." Song Zhi shook his head and said, "And she is the company's own artist, different from outsiders like us."
Another thing she didn't say was that they were in the same crew at the beginning, and the other party was a newcomer, while she was a formal actor from a professional school, so she had a sense of superiority. As
a result, after the filming of the play, she soared to the sky, but she has been hovering on the eighteenth line.
Although I know that it is because she has the support of a big company, I always feel a little strange.
On the other side.
Looking at Meng Bai and Song Zhi whispering on the side, Li Qin couldn't help but frown.
Don't underestimate a woman's sensitivity to details. Although the two's actions were completely normal, she always felt a strange sense of intimacy.
And then again, she always felt as if she had heard the name "Song Zhi" somewhere else.
Meng Bai and Song Zhi briefly exchanged a few words, and then asked the girl to leave first in the name of "arranging accommodation for Teacher Li to rest."
"Do you, the screenwriter, need to go in person to arrange rest?" Song Zhi asked doubtfully.
"Hey, they came to help in my name, so I have to be polite." Meng Bai said naturally.
Song Zhi tilted his head and thought about it, and it seemed to make sense. He said goodbye to Li Qin and left first.
Seeing her back walking away, Meng Bai breathed a sigh of relief without making a sound.
He returned to Li Qin with a clear mind, and seeing her thoughtful expression, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"Ah, nothing."
Li Qin, who was awakened, shook her head. She still couldn't remember where she had heard this name, so she simply let it go for the time being.
Following Meng Bai, she walked around the crew again, and then went to the hotel with her assistant.
After checking in the room, Li Qin turned around and said, "Then I'll go up first."
"Okay, you clean up first." Meng Bai said, "Will you have dinner tonight?"
"Forget it, I have to hurry up and study the script." Li Qin said, "Let's wait until the filming is finished."
"Okay, then I'll leave first."
Meng Bai walked a few steps, turned around, and saw that the girl was still looking at him, and smiled and said, "Don't forget, if you have any questions, please feel free to consult at any time. We provide door-to-door service 24 hours a day."
"..."
Li Qin waved her hand to indicate that she knew.
She went upstairs to put down her luggage, and asked the assistant to contact the studio's agency team and Noon Sunshine for cooperation. Li Qin washed and tidied up, and sat at the table by the window to read the script.
She flipped through it first, and suddenly she found that she and the character played by Song Zhi had a lot of scenes against each other.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but start to recall where she had heard this name.
Memories surged in her mind, and suddenly, Li Qin had a flash of inspiration, and the scene when she was filming the first season of "Soul Ferry" suddenly appeared in her mind.
This Song Zhi seems to be Meng Bai's ex-girlfriend!
