Chapter 211 Sister Ou is still quite dangerous.
It took more than a week for "Star Detective" to finally record the pilot assessment of all the more than 20 invited guests.
He Jiong and Sa Bening are naturally the "double tops", and they are the core of this program, so they are definitely indispensable.
Then there are Zhang Ruoyun and Liu Haoran, who have clear logic, online IQ, and suitable image and popularity. After discussion, the program team unanimously agreed to be fixed members.
In fact, in addition to the two of them, there are many suitable ones.
For example, Bai Yu, Wu Lei, Wei Daxun and Wang Jiaer recommended by He Jiong, and Bai Jingting, who has been very popular recently because of the hit of "The Best of Us"...
It doesn't matter if they are not selected. There will always be conflicts between the schedule and recording among the fixed members, and then you can choose someone from them to replace them.
The male actors are actually quite easy to choose. There are a lot of them to choose from.
The really difficult ones are the female actors. The "reasoning" theme is originally a niche, and there are even fewer girls who are suitable.
Like Meng Bai, he had asked several girls from Huguang before, but they either didn't have time or were not interested.
Only Li Yitong was relatively obedient and came by herself.
As for her performance, it was average, but her luck and evidence-finding ability were unexpectedly good.
Although she didn't quite understand what happened at the scene until the end, she found all the "murder weapons" and "leftover evidence".
After watching her assessment process, the staff of the program group were all tangled.
How should this be calculated?
In the end, Meng Bai and He Chen discussed for a long time and decided to add her as a member.
After all, this is a program, not a real assessment competition.
This kind of "guest who obviously didn't understand anything but accidentally discovered the truth" is still very effective for the show.
In addition to Li Yitong, another guest who came that day, Wang Ou, was also confirmed.
It just so happened that the two of them, one mature queen and the other cute sweet girl, have different styles and can adapt to more roles.
"Meng... Teacher Meng!"
Li Yitong waved to Meng Bai excitedly.
She wanted to call him by his name, but then she thought about it on the show, so she changed the name.
But she only thought of it for a moment. When she saw Meng Bai coming over, she subconsciously pulled his arm and asked, "How did I perform?"
"If you don't watch the whole process, the performance is still pretty good."
"Hehe, I know I'm still pretty smart."
Li Yitong smiled complacently with crescent eyes.
Girl, didn't you hear that this is not a compliment? Meng Bai complained in his heart, but still cooperated and praised him twice.
After a while, Li Yitong looked around and saw that there were not many people. She moved closer and whispered, "Shall I go to your place tonight?" As the saying
goes, you know the taste after you taste the marrow. She didn't feel it when the two of them were ambiguous before, but since the last layer of paper was broken, she now wants to stick to Meng Bai 24 hours a day.
What's more, this guy went to the northwest to investigate and select scenes before, and he was away for more than half a month.
As a result, she was full of spring feelings, all suppressed in her heart.
"This is the hotel arranged by the program team. There are too many people and it's not very convenient." Meng Bai said, "Where are you staying? I have to be busy here for a while. I will come to find you then."
Li Yitong didn't react much. What was inconvenient?
But when she heard Meng Bai's agreement, she didn't care about these details. She just smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll wait..."
"Teacher Meng!"
Before she finished her words, she was suddenly interrupted by a female voice.
The two looked over and saw Wang Ou standing not far away.
Seeing the other party walking towards him, Meng Bai took the initiative to step forward and naturally separated from Li Yitong.
When he got closer, Wang Ou said with a bright smile on his face, "Yitong is here too."
Li Yitong thought to herself that the other party came at a really bad time, but she still smiled at her.
They both came here to record today and had met each other when they were waiting in the lounge before.
"Is there anything wrong, Sister Ou?" Meng Bai asked.
"I want to ask if Mr. Meng is free tonight. I want to invite you to dinner." Wang Ou said, "I said I wanted to thank you when I was on the set of "The Disguiser", but I never had the chance. I happened to meet you today."
The smile on Li Yitong's face faded a little, and she unconsciously pursed her lips.
But before she could get excited, she heard Wang Ou continue, "Yitong is here too, let's come together, it will be more lively with more people."
"Ah..."
Li Yitong was stunned. She didn't expect the other party to invite her.
It seems that this invitation is really just a business matter.
Seeing Meng Bai also looking at her, she thought about it and decided to forget it.
"Sorry, Sister Wang Ou, I have something to do tonight, so I won't be there."
After saying that, Li Yitong looked at Meng Bai and smiled sweetly: "Then Teacher Meng, I'll go back first, please take care!"
Meng Bai pretended not to hear the emphasis in the other party's words, nodded and said seriously: "Okay, then wait for the program team to communicate with everyone about the appropriate schedule, and then notify the time of the first recording."
Watching the girl leave, he looked at Wang Ou and said: "I'll be here for a while, just send me the location when the time comes."
"Okay. Then Teacher Meng, I'll wait for you tonight."
"Yeah."
Meng Bai frowned, why did this sound weird.
...
After discussing the first episode with He Chen and the others, Meng Bai was too lazy to go back to the hotel to pack up, and went straight to the address Wang Ou had sent him.
The place they had arranged to meet was a Hunan restaurant, and he followed the waiter to a small private room.
Wang Ou was the only one in the room, and unlike Meng Bai's casualness, she was obviously dressed up carefully.
She changed into a blue sweater and tied her hair into a high ponytail, which made her look much younger.
It seemed that Meng Bai, who had not yet recovered from the wind and sand in the northwest, was more mature.
"By the way, I haven't congratulated you, Mr. Meng, on your nomination for the Feitian Award for Outstanding Screenwriter." Wang Ou raised his glass and said with a smile.
"It's just a nomination." Meng Bai said casually, "With Mr. Liu Heping here, I definitely have no hope."
The end of the year is often the busiest time in the film and television industry. Various award ceremonies and evening parties are gathered together, and you need to rush around.
There are currently no professional awards for online dramas, so Meng Bai didn't feel anything before.
But this year is different. "The Disguiser" is a serious TV series, and it is also a hit in both word of mouth and performance.
Noon Sunshine had previously applied for all the major awards that met the requirements, and now it was time to reap the rewards.
There are two awards in sight, one is the National Drama Festival that Meng Bai had participated in before, and the other is the Feitian Award, which is held every two years.
The full name of the Feitian Award is "China TV Drama Feitian Award". It is hosted by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and is known as the "three major awards" in the domestic TV drama industry together with the Golden Eagle and Magnolia.
And because it is hosted by the General Administration, the Feitian Award is half a level higher than the other two in terms of official authority.
The Feitian Award is held every two years, and this year happens to be the award year.
"The Disguiser" was broadcast before the last registration deadline in October, so it naturally met the registration requirements.
The awards set are also very simple, including excellent TV series, excellent director, excellent screenwriter, excellent actor/actress (TV King/TV Queen), and that's it.
Compared with the National Drama Festival, which is a party that awards a large number of awards, it seems aloof and serious.
The Disguiser won three of the five awards - Excellent TV Series, Excellent Screenwriter and Excellent Actor.
"Excellent TV Series" belongs to the entire crew, "Excellent Actor" is the male lead Hu Ge.
And "Excellent Screenwriter" is naturally Meng Bai.
There are three other people nominated with him, Liu Heping's "No Quiet in Peking", Liu Debin's "Secrets of Western Tibet", and Liu Jing's "Parents' Love".
Compared with the other three, Meng Bai's nomination is obviously a favor to newcomers.
But at most, he can only be nominated, and it is impossible to win the award.
According to his prediction, Liu Heping is the most likely to win the award, after all, the plot of "No Quiet in Peking" is indeed excellent.
"It's already excellent to be nominated, not to mention that Teacher Meng is so young, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Wang Ou said with a smile.
Meng Bai raised his glass: "Although what you said is a bit vulgar, Sister Ou, I am still very happy to hear it."
"It's good to be happy."
Following the award, the two talked about the crew, the experience of filming at the beginning of the year, and then talked about Song Zhi.
"I called Zhizhi a few days ago." Wang Ou said with emotion: "It can last a whole day."
"You are talking on the phone while doing other things, right?" Meng Bai said with a smile.
"Is she like this with others?"
"Yes, it's her hobby, you'll get used to it."
Song Zhi's hobby is very special. She likes to call her friends. Each time can be as short as three to five hours, or as long as a whole day.
It's not the kind of talking all the time, just talking to each other, and then doing what needs to be done, and chatting when you remember.
Meng Bai has always felt that this girl is suitable for live streaming.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't have any special skills, the main focus is to be a companion.
"Teacher Meng and Zhizhi have a good relationship?" Wang Ou asked tentatively.
Meng Bai said naturally: "Yes, we were classmates before, and we have known each other for many years. We are very good friends."
Good friends? Wang Ou thought to himself, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Thinking of Li Yitong, she asked again for some unknown reason: "I think Yitong seems to be quite familiar with Teacher Meng?"
"She is a contracted actress of our Arclight, and we knew each other before, so of course they are familiar with each other."
"A friend too?"
"Yes." Meng Bai took a sip of tea, "Good friend."
"Tsk——"
Wang Ou showed a teasing smile on his face: "I didn't expect Teacher Meng to be a playboy."
Meng Bai smiled indifferently: "Why, Sister Ou plans to be more cautious of me in the future?"
"Haha!" Wang Ou showed a bright smile, "That's not necessary, I think I'm still quite safe."
"Well, it's hard to say."
Meng Bai leaned forward and stared into the other's eyes: "In my opinion, Sister Ou, you are still quite dangerous."
Wang Ou was stunned, and a rare look of helplessness appeared on her mature and charming face.
Fortunately, Meng Bai distanced himself again, looked at her and said: "Just kidding, let's talk about business. Sister Ou, you came to me tonight, you must have something else to say, right?"
