Chapter 254 Calling first is good for all three of them
Although I don’t know what Chen Sicheng is going to say, it seems to be quite serious, because he asked Meng Bai to come to his home directly.
His home is located in a residential area next to the Temple of Heaven Park, and many celebrities in the circle live here.
"Where is Senior Sister Tong?"
Meng Bai asked casually when he entered the house.
"She recently took a variety show and is not at home."
Yes, I seem to have heard her mention this when we met by chance at dinner that night.
After changing shoes and walking into the living room, only Chen Sicheng and Wang Baoqiang were in the room.
"Brother Baoqiang." Meng Bai greeted.
"You are here, thank you for your trouble."
Wang Baoqiang showed his signature silly smile and responded.
"It's okay, I'm not too busy recently."
Meng Bai glanced at him, frowned, and pointed to his neck and the back of his face: "Brother Baoqiang, you have this..."
There were several conspicuous bruises on the other's neck.
"Ah, I bumped into it a few days ago."
What can cause such a shape? Meng Bai was puzzled, but since the other party didn't want to say, he didn't ask more.
Strictly speaking, he and Wang Baoqiang are not very familiar with each other, mainly through Chen Sicheng's relationship.
But after all, they have worked together and stayed in Bangkok for a while before, so it's okay.
"What's the matter with me?" Meng Bai asked.
Chen Sicheng looked at Wang Baoqiang, who was particularly dull today, sat down and asked: "Do you want me to speak or do I say it?"
"... Let me speak." Wang Baoqiang frowned, "It will be announced sooner or later anyway, so it doesn't matter if it's a family scandal."
Meng Bai was confused when he heard it. How could there be a family scandal
? It can't be that he caught his wife cheating on him?
He just thought so in his heart, and the next second, Wang Baoqiang confirmed his suspicion.
This is a rather bloody story about "cheating", or it can be said to be an accident.
Simply put, Wang Baoqiang's wife Ma Rong and his agent Song Ji had been hooking up a long time ago, but they have never been discovered.
Recently, because he had to run a promotional roadshow for the movie, Wang Baoqiang flew everywhere and basically didn't stay in Beijing.
Ma Rong made an excuse that she was not feeling well and didn't go with him.
Baoqiang was worried that it would be inconvenient for her, so he asked Song Ji to go back to help take care of her.
Even so, he was still worried. So a few days ago, he took advantage of a road show that ended early and flew back to Beijing overnight, intending to go home to see his wife.
Then he blocked a ready-made one.
After all, it is best to call before suddenly returning home on a business trip, which is good for all three people.
He was calm and did not rush to do it, but took photos to collect evidence first.
Seeing this, the other party subconsciously tried to grab it, and he did not fight back. That's how the wound on his neck came.
After discovering the adultery, the trust in the past naturally vanished.
Because his previous funds had always been in the hands of this woman and the agent, Wang Baoqiang checked his financial situation during this period.
This check revealed that a large amount of funds had been secretly transferred out by the other party in the past few years.
Good guy, spending my money, sleeping with my wife, and I don’t even know if the child is his own.
He just felt that he was glowing green from head to toe.
"I plan to divorce publicly." Wang Baoqiang said with a gloomy face.
"Divorce, this must be divorced!" Meng Bai supported him without hesitation.
"Divorce is definitely necessary, we have already agreed on this." Chen Sicheng on the side smacked his lips and said, "But it's just that this time is a bit inappropriate."
"What's inappropriate about this." Meng Bai said, "Why, we still have to choose an auspicious day."
"Not that, it's just that the movie hasn't been taken off the shelves yet, and if it's announced to the public at this time... it's easy to be misunderstood."
Meng Bai was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
Indeed, when the leading actor suddenly broke out such a scandal during the broadcast of the movie, it is easy to be misunderstood as deliberate hype.
Although logically speaking, no man would choose to hype with such a thing, but the audience can't resist such understanding.
In particular, Tang Ren, played by Wang Baoqiang in the movie, has such a similar plot, it is hard not to think too much.
"It makes sense, it's really not suitable to announce it now."
Wang Baoqiang, who was listless for a long time, didn't care too much: "It's okay, it's okay to announce it, it can be regarded as adding fuel to our movie."
How to say it, he has almost entered the heart-death period from the previous anger period.
"No, no, no, Brother Qiang, there's no need to sacrifice yourself just for the sake of a few million in box office revenue."
Meng Bai said: "If you ask me, it's best to pretend to be friendly with the other party for a while, just say that you want to resolve it peacefully and delay the time. After another ten days, when the movie is off the screen, even if it is announced at that time, others will not be able to find any reason to complain."
"Yeah, Baoqiang, it's not worth getting yourself into trouble for those two people." Chen Sicheng also advised from the side.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you and wait a few more days."
Several people discussed how to control the specific progress of this matter later, and finally came to an end until dark.
Chen Sicheng sent Meng Bai out and said apologetically: "Junior brother, I'm sorry to bother you today."
After all, it involves a movie, and you have to find someone to discuss it with.
Chen Zhixi is a woman, and this kind of thing is not suitable to talk about. After thinking about it, he could only call Meng Bai over.
"It's okay. Brother Baoqiang and I are good friends. It's my duty."
Meng Bai said, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Brother, I have something to ask you."
"Go ahead."
"The plot design in the movie, you really didn't know something in advance and hinted at it, right?"
"..."
Chen Sicheng glanced at him speechlessly: "If I really knew it in advance, there are many ways to hint at it, and there is no need to use movies."
"That makes sense."
Meng Bai sighed: "You said that this matter made you think that those two people were too upset."
"Who said it wasn't? People like this really deserve... uh."
When it comes to this topic, the two people were silent at the same time with a guilty conscience.
In a sense, they seem to be similar types.
Forget it, just criticize others, there is no need to be so strict with yourself.
The two scumbags looked at each other and tacitly chose to shut up and leave.
In the following days, Wang Baoqiang really kept quiet and did not announce it to the public.
The news that Meng Bai learned from Chen Sicheng was that the two sides were negotiating.
Wang Baoqiang asked both parties to divorce and return the transferred property without going through legal procedures.
Ma Rong refused to pay back the money and refused to divorce, saying that she "still had feelings" for him.
It's quite ridiculous.
Outsiders can't do anything about this, so Meng Bai quietly watched the development of the situation every day, and began to prepare for the casting of "White Night Chase".
The two male protagonists Pan Yueming and Wang Longzheng are needless to say.
Among the remaining main characters, there is "new policeman Zhou Shutong" who is considered half a female protagonist, "forensic doctor Gao Yanan" who is the wife of his younger brother Guan Hongyu, "Zhao Qian" who is responsible for technical support, and "bar owner Liu Yin" who has been helping the two brothers of the male protagonist.
"Zhou Shutong" was given to his "eldest niece" Meng Ziyi before. This girl is a serious professional, so it's no problem for her to play a fledgling rookie policeman.
However, in this case, a plot in the script needs to be adjusted.
In the first case in the play, Zhou Shutong disguised himself as a "technical worker" to go undercover in a drug dealer, but was drugged due to lack of experience.
Fortunately, Guan Hongfeng and Tai Wei, who were lying in ambush outside, felt something was wrong and rushed in directly, saving the little girl at the critical moment.
According to the original script, when they rushed in, Zhou Shutong had been half-dressed.
When Meng Bai was a child, he watched TV dramas and hated it most. After the bad guys controlled people, they had to beep for a long time. Then just as he was about to make a move, the male lead rushed in to save people.
This is completely illogical. You can't expect a criminal to have too high moral integrity.
But now that it is my own child to play, I will design the plot in advance. There is no need to expose it too much.
Sure enough, I finally became the person I hated most when I was a child.
Then "Forensic Doctor Gao Yanan", Meng Bai finally found Wang Ou. With the ruthlessness of "Wang Manchun", it is not a problem to dissect a corpse.
The actor of "Zhao Qian" is a girl recommended by Pan Yueming, named Yin Shuyi.
During the audition, Meng Bai asked indirectly, and it seemed that this girl had an unclear relationship with Teacher Pan.
As for the last "bar owner Liu Yin", she is set to be a woman who can thrive in the gray area where good and bad people mix.
The image is required to be both charming and have a strong aura.
It's a bit similar to the feeling of "the proprietress of Longmen Inn".
Among the people Meng Bai knows, it seems that there is no such type.
In the end, Bai Yu recommended a candidate to him, an actress named Gao Ye. The two had previously worked together in "The Young Marshal".
Meng Bai auditioned, and you have to say, he really had that feeling.
At this point, several main roles have basically been selected. The remaining supporting roles can be left to the director team to find.
At the end of August, on the last day of the release of "Detective Chinatown", "White Night Chase" also started filming simultaneously in Landao.
