Chapter 165 This plot is too abstract
Meng Bai hung up the phone, apologized to He Chen, then waved to Song Zhi, and walked to the corner of the hall.
"Why are you here?"
"I should be the one asking this question." Song Zhi had a look of "I caught you": "You told me you were busy and didn't have time, and then you were with another woman... Oops!"
With a crisp sound, Song Zhi covered his forehead and was bounced to the ground, glaring at Meng Bai.
"Speak properly." Meng Bai took back his hand leisurely: "Use your brain and think about it. Who has nothing to do and comes to the film and television company to go shopping?"
"I'm kidding you." Song Zhi muttered softly.
She saw Meng Bai outside the building just now. Although she didn't know who the woman walking with him was, she never doubted the relationship between the two.
In this regard, she still trusts Meng Bai more.
Oh, don't get me wrong, this "trust" does not refer to character, but aesthetics.
"Come on, why are you here?"
"I came here for an audition."
"Audition?" Meng Bai said in surprise, "You just finished filming, why don't you take a break?"
Song Zhi pursed his lips, "It's been almost half a month since the filming was finished, I've had enough rest. Besides, we little actors are eager to join the crew seamlessly, who would think about taking a break?"
Meng Bai was busy during this period, and the theater didn't schedule her play. It happened that the school teacher helped her contact an audition opportunity for a new role, so she came here.
"Is it a movie?" Meng Bai asked.
As the leader of the Beijing circle, Huayi Film and Television also produces TV series, but the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to it is movies.
Song Zhi nodded, "Yes, it's a youth campus-themed movie, and I auditioned for a minor supporting role."
"Youth campus-themed?" Meng Bai raised his eyebrows, "The name of the movie you auditioned for, it can't be called "Gardenia Blossoms", right?"
"How do you know?" Song Zhi said in surprise, "It is indeed called this name. I heard that it is adapted from the song I heard before."
Meng Bai couldn't help but sigh, it turned out to be this project.
After looking at his expression, Song Zhi asked, "Why, this movie is not related to you again, right?"
No way, can't I "escape" from this guy?
Fortunately, Meng Bai shook his head and said, "No, I just happened to come to discuss a cooperation on another project with the director."
"Oh."
Song Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little disappointed.
I thought the bond between the two would be so strong.
However, she suddenly looked at Meng Bai and blinked, with a little brilliance in her eyes.
"Hehe, Teacher Meng..."
Song Zhi smiled sweetly, clenched his fist with a flattering expression, and gently hit Meng Bai's shoulder: "Do you have any inside information? Reveal it."
"I thought you wanted to ask for a role for you." Meng Bai said.
Song Zhi smiled and said nothing.
She remembered that Meng Bai had just said that he came to talk to the director about other cooperation.
Although she didn't know what the specific project was, it must be more important for him to come and talk about it.
She didn't want to affect him because of such a small role. So, it would be enough to find out some information.
Unfortunately, Meng Bai just found out this morning and didn't have any inside information.
"Okay." Song Zhi didn't feel too sorry. "Then you go and get busy. I'm going to wait for the audition."
"Wait for me when it's over. I'll contact you then." Meng Bai helped her smooth out the wrinkles on her clothes, looked at her and said, "It's just that I have nothing to do this afternoon. Let's have dinner together."
"Okay!" Song Zhi's mood immediately became cheerful again.
Watching her go upstairs from the other side, Meng Bai came back and said to He Chen, "Sorry, I kept
you waiting." "Mr. Meng, you're too polite. It was just a moment." He Chen said, "The girl just now was Mr. Meng..."
"Friend." Meng Bai said briefly, "She's also an actor. She just happened to come to audition for Mr. He's movie today."
"Really? That's quite a coincidence."
He Chen smiled. From a woman's perspective, the intimacy between the girl and Meng Bai just now didn't seem like just "friends."
But she was not a newcomer and knew that the most important thing in this industry was to reduce curiosity. So she did not ask any more questions and pressed the elevator to go upstairs together.
After getting out of the elevator, He Chen took out his mobile phone and sent a message. Not long after, a young man came over.
The visitor was a staff member of Huayi and said politely: "Teacher He is talking to our President Wang about film production. Let's wait in the next room for a while."
Meng Bai and He Chen had no objection and followed him to an empty reception room.
They chatted and waited for about twenty minutes. There was a noise outside, and then the door of the reception room was opened, and a short and thin man walked in.
This was naturally He Jiong.
"Sorry, sorry." He Jiong said enthusiastically as soon as he entered the door: "Sorry for the long wait, He Zi."
"No, no, we just arrived too." He Chen stood up with a smile on his face and motioned to Meng Bai beside him, "Teacher He, this is Mr. Meng from Arc Light Films."
"Ah, hello, Mr. Meng." He Jiong's expression was very friendly, looking at Meng Bai and extending his hand, "I didn't expect you to be so young."
"Teacher He, you're welcome."
Meng Bai stepped forward and shook hands with him. At the same time, he said to He Chen who wanted to introduce him, "Teacher He doesn't need to be introduced. There are not many people who don't know him."
"Haha." He Jiong laughed: "Mr. Meng, don't say anything too. He grew up watching my show."
Obviously, as a top entertainment host in the domestic entertainment industry, almost all young people will say this when they see him.
"Almost, I grew up watching." Meng Bai said with a smile.
After the greetings, several people sat down on the sofa.
He Jiong looked at Meng Bai and said with a smile: "Actually, this is not the first time I have heard Mr. Meng's name."
"Teacher He, just call me Meng Bai." Meng Bai asked curiously: "Has anyone mentioned me before?"
"It was Li Qin." He Jiong explained: "She came to our "base camp" with the crew to promote the show before. We happened to chat while eating."
Meng Bai was stunned. It was Li Qin who said that. This was a little unexpected. A little surprised, but it seemed normal.
"Xiao Li praised the script of "Teacher Meng" to us very much. The evaluation was very high." He Jiong said.
Meng Bai smiled and said: "I have a good relationship with Teacher Li. She also praised me because of her friend's name."
By the way, he thought to himself that this girl is good. Next time, I have to give her a compliment in person.
"I have watched several dramas produced by Arclight, and they are rated very high. The audiences are also praising the plots." He Jiong said enthusiastically: "It just so happens that I met him today. I am also planning to make a movie recently. Please take a look at the script and give me more suggestions."
"Ah? This, this is inconvenient, right?" Meng
Bai was a little confused by the suddenness: "I heard that it is not a youth campus theme movie? I am a suspense writer and I really have no experience in youth movies."
"It doesn't matter, just help as an audience." He Jiong said, and asked his assistant to take out a stack of scripts from his bag and "stuffed" them in.
"???"
Looking at the script in his hand, Meng Bai's face was full of black question marks.
But looking at He Jiong's enthusiastic attitude on the side, he was embarrassed to refuse, so he could only bite the bullet and flip through it.
What He Jiong gave him was a script with already formed lines, not the kind of "literary script" shown to investors or project parties.
The biggest difference between the two is that the script of lines, except for a small number of scene changes and plot statements, is all the lines of the characters.
If ordinary people read it, they may find it boring. But as a professional screenwriter, Meng Bai can naturally restore the complete story from it.
However...
as he watched, a strange expression gradually emerged on his face.
There is no way, the development direction of the plot of this story is also a very abstract existence in the category of "youth pain film".
The story of "Gardenia Blossoms" takes place on a university campus. The heroine "Yan Qi" is good at ballet dancing, and her dream is to be admitted to a famous dance school abroad. By the way, she also persuaded the other three girls in her dormitory to take the exam together.
But the other three girls, as background NPCs, obviously do not have such a "grand" ambition as the heroine.
So after several cycles of cooperation, quarrels, breakups, cooperation again, and quarrels again, finally after the four people set a common goal, a car accident directly took away the three friends of the heroine.
Yes, the three roommates were killed directly.
Meng Bai took a deep breath. To be honest, when he watched the beginning, he almost thought he was watching some "Tiny Times" extra. But this wave of outrageous "car accidents" woke him up.
By the way, if I guessed correctly, the role that Song Zhi auditioned for should be one of the three girls who were "forced to go offline".
