Chapter 212 Meng Bai's house collapsed, no casualties
Hearing Meng Bai's serious tone, Wang Ou calmed down and got to the point.
"Mr. Meng, I heard that Arc Light is selecting the leading actor for the "Ghost Blowing Light" project recently?"
"Yes, it has already started."
Wang Ou asked nervously: "I wonder if there is a suitable candidate for the female lead role?"
"There are some, but we have to wait until the formal audition to decide."
At this point, Meng Bai reacted and looked at her: "Why, is Sister Ou also interested in this role?"
After more than ten years in the circle, Wang Ou knew that the most taboo at this time was to be coy.
So she nodded without hesitation and said: "Yes, I think I am also suitable for this role. I hope Mr. Meng can give me an audition opportunity."
Wang Ou debuted for many years, but it was not until the broadcast of "The Pretender" this year that she relied on the popularity of the role to rise sharply and rushed to the second and third line positions.
She knew that there must be many actresses competing for the role of "Shirley Yang", and her popularity and background were average.
The only advantage may be that because of the cooperation in "The Disguiser", she has some friendship with Meng Bai.
In fact, Wang Ou wanted to ask Song Zhi at first to see if he could help her "whisper" or something.
She also deliberately tried to find out in a roundabout way in advance and knew that this girl would not participate.
The only problem is that she has never figured out what the relationship between Song Zhi and Meng Bai is now.
In the end, Wang Ou decided to rely on their previous friendship and fight for it herself.
This is a decision she made after considering for a long time.
Not only because of the lack of information, but more importantly, she actually thought about whether she should pay some "extra" to fight for it.
To be honest, for such a rare and high-quality opportunity, if she really paid, she was not sure if she could refuse it.
Especially when facing a type like Meng Bai who "sleeps for free and doesn't lose money".
...
Hearing Wang Ou's self-recommendation, Meng Bai was not surprised at all. When he came just now, he more or less guessed what the other party was thinking.
Moreover, she is not the first one.
Since the establishment of the project of "The Forbidden City", many people have contacted Meng Bai through various connections, wanting to participate in this big IP with an investment of 100 million yuan.
For top first-line stars, they will also set their own prices and not watch online dramas. But for those quasi-first-line and second-line actors, this is an excellent resource.
Meng Bai has no bad opinion on this kind of relationship.
He himself also relied on relationships to have the opportunity to grow, and the background of personal connections is part of the comprehensive strength.
Meng Bai leaned lightly on the armrest on one side of the chair, with one hand on his chin, and looked at Wang Ou with a scrutinizing look.
Anyway, it was in a private room, and there were no other people, so Wang Ou stood up directly.
She could see that the other party was just considering her image.
Just as Wang Ou thought, Meng Bai looked at her and wondered in her heart whether her image was suitable for the role of "Shirley Yang".
In fact, judging from her appearance and temperament, she is relatively close.
But there are also problems.
One is that Wang Ou's appearance is bright and a little soft. With light makeup, she is an "intellectual big sister", and with heavy makeup, she is a "charming bad woman".
But no matter which style, it is a little different from the generous, bold and careful "Staff Officer Yang".
Another point is age.
Although it is not directly written in the original text of "Ghost Blowing the Light", according to the background experience, "Shirley Yang" should be between 25 and 28 years old in the first "The Forbidden City".
Well - Hu Bayi is more or less a bit like "uncle seducing a young girl".
Wang Ou's information is that he was born in 1982, and he is 33 this year.
Although it is said that celebrity artists will look younger if they maintain their appearance, after all, there is a difference of seven or eight years, which is more or less inconsistent.
According to Meng Bai's idea, it is best to find an actress from the "85-90" group.
But he would not refuse directly, after all, it is not a direct decision, it is just an audition opportunity.
What if she can "break through" with her acting skills?
At least in "The Pretender", her performance is still good.
"Okay, Sister Ou, I'll let someone notify you when the audition is." Meng Bai said.
Wang Ou's eyes lit up immediately, and he thanked her repeatedly in surprise.
Although it was just an audition, it was finally a chance.
For them, actors, it is a pity not to get the chance, but it is the most uncomfortable to not even have the chance.
The goal was achieved, and the next thing was a simple chat and dinner. Wang Ou also asked for some suggestions on the recording of "Star Detective".
Looking at the time, it was almost eight o'clock.
Thinking that there were still people waiting for him, Meng Bai said that it was almost time to go.
After waiting for a while, Wang Ou's assistant came over. It was a young girl.
Wang Ou, who had drunk a few glasses of wine, had a slight blush on his face and stumbled when getting in the car.
Fortunately, Meng Bai was quick and helped her assistant to support him, otherwise he would have hit the car door.
After sending the person away, Meng Bai called a designated driver and drove over according to the address that had been sent on WeChat a long time ago.
Going upstairs to find the room number, Meng Bai knocked on the door.
Not long after, the door opened, and Li Yitong's delicate and sweet face appeared from behind the door.
"Click!"
The door closed, and Li Yitong was hugged by Meng Bai before she could say anything.
"You're back so early?"
"Because I know there's a silly girl waiting for me."
"Tsk, who's waiting for you."
Li Yitong pouted, then her nose twitched a few times, and pushed him away: "You smell like perfume and alcohol, go take a shower quickly."
Meng Bai smiled and took a few steps back in cooperation. While taking off his coat, he asked: "Are you alone? Where are your assistants?"
"I said I'm not used to living with others, so I opened another room for her."
After saying that, she saw Meng Bai walk to the wall, put his face against it, and didn't move for a long time.
"What are you doing?"
"See how soundproof this room is, so as not to disturb her." Meng Bai said seriously.
Li Yitong blushed, and couldn't help but pick up the pillow beside her and threw it at him, and then the other party caught it accurately.
"I... I opened a room for her on another floor, don't worry."
"Well, it turns out that Boss Li is foresighted."
"See you first, go take a shower quickly!"
Meng Bai was pushed to the bathroom door by Li Yitong. Seeing her turn around to leave, he raised his hand to grab her arm and pulled her back.
"You, what are you doing?"
"Respond to the national call to save water resources and wash together."
"I don't want to... wait, my clothes... don't face the mirror... um!"
"..."
Busy night
. The next morning.
Daddy, ding-da-ding-ding-ding-da-da, Daddy answer the phone..."
Meng Bai reached out and touched the sound and found his mobile phone.
Glancing at the time, it was not yet ten o'clock. Looking at the screen again, it was Hua Yan calling.
"Huahua, if you don't have anything important to say, be careful that your bonus will be deducted at the end of the year." Meng Bai yawned.
"Wow, boss, you were accidentally photographed picking up girls, and I quickly notified you, and you still have to deduct your bonus!"
"What do you mean by being photographed picking up girls? What are you talking about?"
"I sent a news report on WeChat, boss, you will understand after reading it. "
When he opened WeChat, he saw the link shared by Hua Yan.
[A producer of a night party? The actress just became popular and her love affair was exposed!]
Meng Bai's eyelids twitched, and he instantly became alert.
No way, was he really photographed?
Not to mention which entertainment paparazzi is so bored that they would come to photograph a company boss who works behind the scenes.
He paid special attention when he went upstairs last night, and no one followed him.
Meng Bai glanced at Li Yitong who was still sleeping beside him, and clicked on the news link.
[On the evening of the 29th, actress W met a mysterious man at night. The two had dinner together and continued to interact sweetly after dinner. Before getting in the car, actress W hugged each other and seemed to have a good relationship...
Actor W recently starred in a popular spy drama and her popularity has soared. It is reported that the mysterious man is the investor of the drama and is also a well-known producer in the industry...]
When Meng Bai first clicked on the link, he frowned, but calmed down after reading the first sentence.
When he finished reading the whole "explosion", his heart was no longer volatile, and he even wanted to laugh vaguely.
Damn! I was shocked and thought I was photographed with Boss Li.
It turned out to be Sister Ou.
"Boss, have you finished reading it?"
Hua Yan's voice came from the phone: "You are too careless this time. How do you explain this?"
"What a joke! I, your boss, am upright and honest. What is there to explain? "
Seeing that it was a "false rumor", Meng Bai immediately became confident.
Hua Yan on the other side of the phone was stunned. She used to remind him of his "single personality", when did it become so open!
Fortunately, Meng Bai explained to her what happened.
"So, it's about role cooperation, right?" Hua Yan looked at the news report and asked, "What's the matter with the hugging photo?"
"It's an angle problem. Sister Ou didn't stand firmly when she got on the car and tripped. I held her, so it just looked a little similar."
"So that's how it is." Hua Yan said uninterested.
Really, I thought I would see a piece of gossip.
"Then boss, how do we deal with it? Should we contact Sister Wang Ou and send a clarification or something like that?"
"Okay, you... eh?"
Meng Bai's voice paused, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
Hua Yan waited for a long time, and seeing that he had no response, she couldn't help asking, "What do you need me to do?"
Meng Bai came back to his senses: "Oh, nothing, you just contact her to connect with the situation, whether to clarify or refute the rumor is up to them. "
In fact, if it's just from his own perspective, it doesn't matter whether he clarifies it or not.
Anyway, he runs a company behind the scenes and doesn't have any "public image" to speak of, so this
kind of scandal is completely irrelevant. The only thing he needs to worry about now is that he has to explain it to these girls he knows.
Fortunately, this time he is completely "innocent" and there will be no problems.
