Chapter 171 "The Shadow of Childhood"
Meng Bai stayed in the apartment for three full days before he was finally ready to leave.
The record of the "protracted war" is beyond doubt. Song Zhi, who would rather skip a meal than exercise more, is no match for him in terms of physical strength or recovery.
In fact, starting from the second day, the girl had completely turned into a "little slob". She was manipulated by Meng Bai at will and had no power to fight back.
Standing at the door of the bedroom, he glanced at Song Zhi who was still sleeping on the bed. He saw that her little face, which still had traces of tears in the corners of her eyes, was now full of a happy and satisfied expression.
Meng Bai smiled, stuck a sticky note with farewell words and some instructions on the bedroom door, and then left the apartment.
He did not go home. After calling Chen Jing to ask if there was anything that needed to be dealt with recently in the company, he flew directly back to Blue Island.
The experience of the "Forensic Trio" has ended, and the second part of the "Green Ivy Series", "Forensic Qin Ming", has officially started.
"Boss, here!"
At the exit of Landao Airport, the assistant Hua Yan, who was blocked by the crowd, held up a big sign and waved it while jumping.
The car that came to pick up the station was from the crew's driver class. After looking at the driver in the driving seat, Meng Bai looked at the assistant sitting next to him: "Hua Hua, I heard that you failed the second subject again?"
"Boss, can you stop talking about that?" Hua Yan said depressedly.
Because Meng Bai said before that she would be given a car after getting a driver's license, this girl has been taking time to learn to drive since last year.
Unfortunately, I don't know if her size will affect the mechanical control. She has failed the second subject after three attempts.
Meng Bai said leisurely: "Sister Jing has told me several times that she has been saving the funds for the car for you."
"I know, I know, I will definitely get a driver's license this year!" The assistant pouted and set a new flag for herself.
Seeing her ambitious look, Meng Bai shook his head.
The purpose of letting her learn to drive in the beginning was to be his driver.
After all, compared to other people, he still trusts this girl whom he has known for several years more.
But judging from her test experience, even if he gets a driver's license, he dare not ride in her car.
It seems that Chen Jing will have to hire another assistant who can drive. It is best to be a girl around 20 years old, with fair skin, beautiful face, thin waist and long legs, who enjoys seducing the boss when she has nothing to do... cough, the second half of the sentence is crossed out.
The car did not go to the studio of Oriental Film Metropolis, but turned and stopped in front of an apartment building next to it.
Because this film and television base has not been officially opened, there are currently few crews filming here, and the whole building is vacant.
It just so happens that there are many plots in "Forensic Qin Ming" that use scenes like "residents' main house", so the crew rented it as a filming location.
Walking into the apartment building, I saw several crew members coming forward.
"Here you are, Brother Meng!"
"Hello, President Meng."
"..."
Many people in the crew came here from "Soul Ferry", and they are very familiar with each other, and they greeted each other enthusiastically.
Meng Bai raised his hand to respond as he walked, and asked Wang Wei's location.
Following the direction pointed by the staff, he walked inwards, came to the door of a residence, and took a look inside.
"Wow——"
Meng Bai couldn't help but frowned, and saw that the house was in a mess. There were large patches of "blood" everywhere on the floor and walls, and there were several bloody handprints on the door handle on the side.
This scene made anyone feel like they had entered the crime scene of a "bloody case".
"Yeah, I'm here."
Wang Wei in the house heard Meng Bai's voice and walked out. Seeing that he was looking at the layout of the house, he gestured and said, "How is it, it looks quite realistic, right?"
"Quite good." Meng Bai nodded and praised, "I'm a little doubtful now, did you really kill someone in the house?"
"It's all mixed blood-colored pigment." Wang Wei smiled and pointed to the inner room: "Come in and show you a better one."
Meng Bai followed him in, and was careful not to step on the "blood" on the ground.
Walking into the house, there is a wedding photo of a "couple" hanging on the wall, and the coffee table in the living room is cluttered with fruit plates, remote controls and other sundries, and there are a few pots of flowers in the corner.
It can be said that except for those deliberately arranged by the crew, it is completely an ordinary residential house.
The two of them turned a corner and walked into the somewhat narrow kitchen. Meng Bai couldn't help but touch his eyebrows.
If the living room outside is just the "crime scene", then this place is completely a "slaughterhouse".
The cupboards were covered with blood and oil stains, and on the chopping board next to them were stained kitchen knives and bones. In the pressure cooker on the stove, several large bones were placed in a mess. Combined with the surrounding scenes, people couldn't help but wonder what the bones were made of.
Although the scene in front of him was designed by him and Wang Wei before. But when he really saw the arranged scene, he was still a little shocked.
Wang Wei looked at Meng Bai's somewhat uncomfortable expression and smiled with satisfaction. He patted the refrigerator next to him: "Open it again and have a look."
"...Old Wang, you won't give up until you see me get scared, right?" Meng Bai complained.
As a screenwriter, he naturally knew what "surprises" were in the refrigerator.
Wang Wei smiled and said, "Well, I'm not that bored. I just want you, the producer, to see the craftsmanship of our props team."
Meng Bai snorted, but still took a deep breath, prepared himself, and opened the refrigerator door.
"Wow--"
Although he was prepared, he still felt a chill on his back when he opened the door and saw two bloody skeletons "staring" at him.
As a forensic drama that competes with "American dramas", "Forensic Qin Ming" not only focuses on the plot and characters, but also on "authenticity" and "heavy taste".
The plot of the first episode is that a perverted decorator was discovered while stealing the underwear of the female owner, and then killed the couple and skinned them and dismembered them.
The plot is somewhat similar to an episode of "The Disappearing Couple" that was once broadcast on the Legal Channel. To be honest, this case can really be called a "childhood shadow" series.
Although he was a little shocked at the first time, Meng Bai was someone who had practical experience in the Forensic Center. So after the first wave of physiological reactions, he got used to it.
He reached out and took out the "skeleton" prop, put it in his hand and observed it.
Don't mention it, this prop is really made very delicately. In addition to the skeleton shape, some details of "flesh, blood and fascia" are also shown.
The only "flaw" is the material, which feels like a distinct plastic texture.
But this needs to be done with your hands, and the audience will definitely not be able to see it.
"Very good, it seems that this prop studio is still of some standard." Meng Bai put the prop back, closed the refrigerator door, and praised: "It lived up to the prop budget of more than two million."
"Do you want to go to the bedroom next door and take a look." Wang Wei suggested.
"Then there is no need, just look at an example."
Although it can be adapted, why not make it difficult for yourself. Let's leave these "surprises" to Lao Zhang and the others.
Just thinking about this, I suddenly heard a noise outside the house. I looked out and found that Zhang Ruoyun, Bai Yu and Zhou Yutong had come, and they were observing and sighing at the scene.
Seeing Meng Bai coming out of the house, the three of them were surprised. They didn't expect him to be here, but they greeted him immediately.
"Hey, Xiao Zhou, did you cut your hair?"
Meng Bai looked at Zhou Yutong. The girl's waist-length hair was obviously cut halfway and tied into a ponytail at the back of her head.
"Yes, the director said that short hair is more suitable for the image of the character, so I cut it short." Zhou Yutong said with a smile.
As an actor, all external images exist for the role. Therefore, let alone cutting short hair, even bald heads, many actresses will cut their hair without hesitation.
Of course, it doesn't mean that someone has to make greater sacrifices or be more "dedicated". It mainly depends on the needs of the role.
Looking at the smiling Zhou Yutong, Meng Bai nodded.
Not to mention, this girl's short hair style is also very good, coupled with her heroic appearance, she does look more like a police officer.
Looking at the three people who were looking at the set, Meng Bai had an idea and said, "You guys get used to it first. There are also kitchens and bedrooms. We will also shoot them later. You can go in and take a look first."
The three people did not doubt it. After responding, they prepared to go in and take a look as he said.
Meng Bai stood at the door and listened attentively. Sure enough, after a few seconds, two "fuck"s and a girl's shrill scream were heard.
"Oh, it's really fun to scare others."
Meng Bai sighed. It can be expected that the next month of shooting will not be "boring".
