Chapter 219 Senior Sister Tong Liya
"Brother Meng, do you think we really don't need to do anything?"
"Why, Brother Jun, are you planning to take it off the shelves?"
"That's not the case, but I always feel uncomfortable watching it catch up with our record little by little."
"If you think so, they are all dramas from your Leshi.com, why bother to distinguish whose record it is."
"Anyway, it's awkward."
Listening to Liu Jun's sighing tone on the phone, Meng Bai laughed.
"Don't worry, it's still difficult to surpass our record. Don't forget, there is still a threshold waiting."
"Threshold, you mean... Oh!"
Liu Jun suddenly reacted.
Yes, with this drama being a hodgepodge of time travel and gay elements, it is only a matter of time before it is taken off the shelves for rectification.
The previous arc light "Forensic Qin Ming" was originally in a very good momentum.
As a result, because of a wave of removals, it was vacant for more than a week, which directly interrupted the rhythm of growth.
This "Go Princess Go" originally broke the circle by relying on the popularity of netizens and audiences playing memes.
Once the online drama is removed from the shelves for rectification, everyone's enthusiasm will dissipate, and it will be difficult to have a big growth in the future.
However...
"Damn, this removal and rectification is more disgusting than breaking the record!"
Liu Jun sighed: "Why do I feel that the review standards have been tightened in the past few months?"
Meng Bai was not surprised: "There are still three months left, and the one-year trial period of the filing system will be over. The higher-ups must have new ideas."
"What I am most afraid of now is that when the time comes, the TV stations and the Internet will be required to have the same standards. That will really hit us in the ashes."
"It's okay, I think the higher-ups still have considerations for the online drama market. No matter how strict it is, it will definitely not be benchmarked against TV stations."
After comforting Liu Jun, Meng Bai said: "Okay, I won't say anything more. My international long-distance calls are expensive."
"Did you go to Thailand?"
"Yes, today is the opening ceremony."
"Okay, then you go ahead." Liu Jun smiled, "By the way, help me see if transsexuals are really the same as women."
"Fuck, you can come and see it yourself when you have time. I don't have the elegance of your brother."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Bai shook his head.
Liu Jun's ability and character are beyond doubt, but he is a little bit vulgar.
What if he really has an arc in the future and leads his pure self astray?
Well, it seems that we have to dig him over quickly. If we make mistakes in the future, we can just blame him.
Putting down his phone, Meng Bai walked around the green courtyard and returned to the hotel lobby.
He is now at the Royal Hotel in Bangkok, where the opening ceremony of "Detective Chinatown" is held.
Compared with the previous opening ceremonies, today's ceremony is quite grand.
In addition to the main creators of the crew, representatives of investors and the media, there are also official figures such as the Secretary-General of the Reform Committee of Thailand, the Director of the East Asia Department of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, the Director of the Thai Film Bureau, the President of the Tourism Association of Thailand, and the Cultural Counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Thailand.
Since the explosion of "Lost in Thailand" brought a wave of popularity to the tourism industry, Thailand has always attached great importance to the investment in domestic large-scale films.
The investment scale of "Detective Chinatown" is 80 million, which can only be regarded as a medium-sized project in China, but it is a standard large project in Thailand.
In addition, the theme of the "Chinatown" series just fits the current domestic strategic plan of "going out of culture", so it can be said that it has been green-lighted by the upper level.
The Thai side actively helped to arrange the venues and facilities needed by the crew during the filming.
It even agreed to close the road in the core area of the Grand Palace in downtown Bangkok to allow the crew to shoot the final climax of the film.
By analogy, it is probably like closing Chang'an Avenue or Di'anmen Street at the gate of the Forbidden City for the crew to shoot.
It can be seen how much importance is attached.
As soon as he came back, Meng Bai was caught by Chen Sicheng.
"I've been looking for you for a long time, where are you?"
"I made a phone call outside." Meng Bai said: "What's wrong?"
Chen Sicheng smiled: "Don't you always want to meet Baoqiang? Let me introduce you."
Because Wang Baoqiang was injured while filming the show, the entire Tang Detective crew dragged for more than a month to wait for him to recover, which moved him so much.
So before he was too well, he told Chen Sicheng that he could start filming.
So when he came today, he was still on crutches.
"Hello, Mr. Baoqiang."
Meng Bai subconsciously wanted to shake hands, but seeing that he was holding crutches in both hands, he just nodded and said hello.
"Mr. Meng, hello."
Wang Baoqiang showed his signature "silly smile".
If you want to say the first impression he gives people, it is that he is honest and real.
Even though he has played Feng Yuxiu.
But after actually meeting him, Meng Bai found that this person is not honest, but he is really real.
Wang Baoqiang did not come here alone today. There was a woman following him.
"This is my wife, Ma Rong." Wang Baoqiang took the woman's hand and introduced her with a smile.
"Teacher Baoqiang is so lucky."
"Haha, I agree with this." Wang Baoqiang put his arm around his wife's waist and said with a big laugh.
Meng Bai glanced at Ma Rong, and the woman smiled at him seductively.
After chatting about the setting of the characters for a while, a man wearing black-framed glasses came over. He seemed to be Wang Baoqiang's agent.
It seemed that there was something to deal with. Wang Baoqiang and Meng Bai apologized and followed the other party away.
"Hey, where is Baoqiang?"
Chen Sicheng came over and asked.
"He was called away by his agent."
"Humph, it's better not to do anything weird again."
Meng Bai asked curiously when he heard Chen Sicheng's strange tone.
"Baoqiang's agent... Oh, forget it, let's not talk about it."
Chen Sicheng waved his hand, looked at Meng Bai and said, "Regarding Tang Ren's background story, I suddenly have an idea, and I want to talk to you about it."
"What idea?"
"Did you notice the gold teeth in Baoqiang's mouth just now? That was also replaced after he was injured, and I just got some inspiration."
Chen Sicheng said that he felt that the current script lacked the reason why Tang Ren left his hometown and came to Thailand, and he felt that the character was a little incomplete.
"This is what I think. Tang Ren was originally planning to get married, but at the wedding he found out that his wife was having an affair with his brother. He was so excited that he fell and lost a tooth. In order to leave the sad place and avoid the gossip of relatives and friends, he exchanged the betrothal gift for a gold tooth and came to Thailand with the remaining money."
"I feel that adding this paragraph will make the task complete, and the emotional changes later will be more natural." Chen Sicheng said, "What do you think?"
"Tsk, how should I put it... it's a bit vulgar."
"Vulgar, it's indeed a bit vulgar, but it's very convincing." Chen Sicheng spread his hands, "Or think of a plot that's not vulgar."
"It's okay, that's fine too. As long as Teacher Baoqiang doesn't object, I have no problem with it."
"Okay, I'll go talk to Baoqiang."
Seeing Chen Sicheng leave excitedly, Meng Bai found Liu Haoran and started chatting again.
"Has the first episode of "Celebrity Detective" been recorded?"
"Yes, it was recorded in the middle of the month."
"How did it feel?"
"It was quite interesting." Liu Haoran said enthusiastically: "Especially the evidence collection and discussion part, it feels almost the same as real reasoning. The plot is also quite interesting, but the difficulty is a little simple."
"It's the first episode, I can't just tire you to death in the studio right away." Meng Bai smiled and said: "Don't worry, you will have a chance to cry in the future."
"Ah, this..."
Liu Haoran suddenly hated himself for pretending to be so arrogant. In fact, they worked hard for more than seven hours to record the first episode, and finally voted for the wrong murderer.
How could he think of saying it was simple in front of the chief planner?
Don't let Teacher He and Teacher Sa know later.
"Haoran, have you seen your brother Chen?"
The two were chatting, and suddenly heard a gentle female voice behind them.
Then, a gentle-looking woman walked over.
"Brother Chen seems to have gone to see Brother Baoqiang."
"No wonder, I said I didn't see him."
The woman looked at Meng Bai again, took a look at him, and said with a smile: "This should be Mr. Meng Bai, right?"
"Hello, Senior Sister Tong, I'm Meng Bai."
This woman is naturally Tong Liya.
Strictly speaking, this is not the first time Meng Bai has seen her.
Meng Bai is from the class of 2007 at the Central Academy of Drama. When he was a freshman, this senior sister happened to be a senior.
Of course, they just glanced at each other at the graduation ceremony, and they didn't have much in common.
As for the "school belle" or something like that...
To be honest, in Meng Bai's impression, this senior sister was not the most beautiful one when she was in school, mainly because of her skin color.
Even now, if you look at her without the online filter light, she can't be considered as one with fair skin.
Compared with Meng Bai's carelessness, Tong Liya is quite interested in this junior brother.
She always thought that Chen Sicheng was very talented.
From an actor, to a director, to making movies, he has grown rapidly step by step.
But compared with this junior brother, he seems to be a little worse.
