Chapter 166 003 Ultra-thin Edition
It took Meng Bai almost ten minutes to finish reading the whole story.
He covered the script and let out a long breath.
When I go back, I must ask Liu Jun to add "Youth Campus" to the theme label of "Psychological Crime".
If anyone dares to say it is not, "Gardenia Blossoms" will be slapped in his face.
"Have you finished reading it?" He Jiong looked at Meng Bai and asked expectantly: "How do you feel?"
"Uh... a youth story with a very distinctive and fierce style." Meng Bai tried hard to think about how to describe it euphemistically, "I'm just curious why the three roommates of the heroine were killed directly."
"Youth always needs some accidents and pain to grow, and this is also an opportunity for the hero and the heroine to change."
He Jiong said with a confident expression: "In fact, we also talked about this issue when we discussed it before. In the end, I still feel that letting people die directly can make the plot more impactful."
Wow, then yours is too impactful, this is purely a shock wave! Meng Bai said in his heart.
He Jiong saw his strange expression and couldn't help asking: "Why, Meng Bai, do you think this design is inappropriate?"
"...It's okay." Meng Bai said.
Although he felt it was quite abstract when he first saw this, after reading the subsequent plot, he felt that it was acceptable in comparison.
This is not a problem with the design of a certain section, but the entire script has problems.
But then again, Meng Bai couldn't just say "Your script is too bad, change it", so he could only sigh: "Youth is just running hard, and then suddenly falling down."
He Jiong's eyes lit up: "This sentence summarizes it very well, and I think it matches the tone of this drama very well. Meng Bai, if you don't mind, I plan to use this sentence as the slogan of the movie."
"It doesn't matter, just use it." Meng Bai hurriedly said.
It can be seen that He Jiong, who was a director for the first time, is very serious about this movie.
But then again, if you are really serious, isn't the first thing you should do to change a serious director?
But this can't be said directly. For the questions raised by He Jiong, Meng Bai spoke nonsense in a sincere tone.
After all, this is not my own project, so there is no need to intervene.
If the results are good, people may think that it would be better to use the original one. If the results are not good, then it will be even more of a scapegoat.
This kind of thing will only end up in a bad situation.
He Jiong himself naturally knew this, so he just talked about it briefly and turned the topic to business.
"The film is expected to start shooting next month. Because some of the plot needs to be shot in Thailand, it will take a little longer, about one and a half months." He Jiong introduced: "Huayi is responsible for the promotion and distribution of the film, and it is currently scheduled for the National Day. So if you want to start a new program, it will take at least until mid-to-late October."
He Chen thought about it and felt that this time was also okay.
Variety shows are different from film and television dramas. They do not need to be filmed for a whole season. Generally, they can be broadcast after recording two or three episodes.
As long as the program team can prepare the personnel, venues and scripts in advance, it can be broadcast in November, which is just right as the main promotion project of Mango TV in the fourth quarter.
If the broadcast results are good at that time, it will be just right to continue with the second season next year.
"By the way, He Zi, I think the idea of 'double hosting' that you told me before is very good. Only when the guests have confrontation, the program effect will be interesting, and we really need another person who can control the situation." He Jiong said: "It would be best if he can complement me, especially in terms of professionalism. You can see if there are any suitable legal programs."
Professionalism, law, and the ability to control the situation...
Meng Bai looked at He Chen: "I really thought of a suitable candidate, but I don't know if our program team can invite him."
"Who?" He Chen asked puzzled.
He Jiong on the side seemed to have realized something and said: "Meng Bai, you want to talk about Teacher Xun Beining, right?"
"That's right." Meng Bai asked: "Does Teacher He have any friendship with him?"
"Not friendship, but I have met him before." He Jiong nodded and said to He Chen: "He is indeed quite suitable."
He Chen's face was full of black lines. How could I not know that he is suitable. The key is that he is from CCTV, and I have to be able to invite him!
"It should be OK. After all, this is an online variety show, not a TV station program." He Jiong thought it was worth a try: "In fact, the key is his own thoughts. People may not be willing to participate in this kind of entertainment program. So, when I'm done with my work, I'll contact someone and ask him."
Although local satellite TV and CCTV belong to two different systems, as one of the top hosts in the country, He Jiong's connections cannot be underestimated.
They talked about other issues of the program and knew that He Jiong was busy with the movie, so they left soon.
Before leaving, Meng Bai hesitated and still did not mention that he had a "friend" auditioning. The main reason was that he felt that it was not worth owing this favor.
Of course, this "not worth it" refers to this movie.
After saying goodbye to He Chen, Meng Bai took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Song Zhi.
[Girl, I'm done here, how about you? ]
After waiting for a while, seeing that she didn't reply, she probably should be in the audition. Meng Bai didn't stand stupidly in the building, and prepared to go back to the car and wait.
After walking two steps, he stopped again. After thinking for two seconds, he turned and went into a convenience store next to him.
"Hello, welcome." The clerk was a young man, and he said with a standard smile: "What can I do for you?"
Meng Bai looked at the shelf on the side of the front desk, took a bottle of water, and looked under it, then asked the clerk: "Do you have a large size 55?"
The clerk was stunned for a moment, then reacted and showed an expression of "I know you, buddy": "Hello, it's at the bottom."
After that, he added: "If you need comfort, you can try Okamoto's 003 ultra-thin model."
"Is this it?" Meng Bai picked up a cream-colored box.
"Yes." The clerk clicked the cash register a few times: "A total of 98 yuan, cash or scan code? If you scan code, WeChat and Alipay are both OK."
"Alipay, thank you." Meng Bai took out his mobile phone.
Ever since Penguin spent a lot of money on a wave of red envelopes during this year's Spring Festival Gala, WeChat and Alipay have been fighting hard in the field of mobile payment. Now almost even roadside stalls will have the payment codes of both companies posted at the same time.
After getting the things back to the car, Meng Bai put the "ultra-thin version" in his pocket.
As I said before, he is a person who plans before he acts.
Some things are better prepared and not used than to look for them at the last minute, which would interrupt his mood too much.
After waiting in the car for a long time, the notification sound of the mobile phone rang. It was Song Zhi who sent a message asking him where he was.
He sent his location to her, and soon, he saw her running from the door of the Huayi Film and Television building.
After opening the door and getting in the car, Song Zhi leaned on the passenger seat and let out a long breath.
"Drink a sip of water." Meng Bai handed over the water he had just bought, "How was the audition?"
"I don't know, the crew didn't say it directly, but I feel that there is little hope." Song Zhi said with a cheerful face.
Meng Bai glanced at her: "You are so happy even if there is little hope?"
"Oh, it's just a small supporting role in the movie. If I fail, I fail!"
In fact, since she saw Meng Bai before, she didn't have any thoughts about the audition. She was thinking about the arrangements for the afternoon and evening.
Seeing that the girl was not unhappy, Meng Bai nodded: "Okay, forget it if we can't try. Let's go, think about where to eat?"
Song Zhi's eyes lit up, and then pretended to be casual and said: "Isn't this place close to the school? I haven't been to the 'Back Canteen' for a long time, why not take this opportunity to try it again."
"Okay, I'll listen to you today." Meng Bai said indifferently: "But it's past dinner time now, I wonder if it's open?"
"It's open, don't worry." Song Zhi said affirmatively: "You didn't go there often, you didn't know it, it's better to go after dinner time, otherwise there will be too many people and you often can't find a seat." "Okay
, let's go there."
