Chapter 285 Lu Xun: I really said this
Zhu Xudan looked at Meng Bai carefully, and her heartbeat accelerated a bit.
Counting it up, the two hadn't seen each other for almost a year.
At the beginning, she told Meng Bai that she wanted to sign a contract with Arc Light.
The original purpose was to find a better company and hope for better development.
The other was a little selfish, thinking that this would allow her to be closer to "Senior Brother Meng Bai".
However, things in the world are often unexpected.
Because of her words, Meng Bai directly found a special agency for Arc Light to be responsible for the artist agency business.
Zhu Xudan was a little dumbfounded.
The company did change to a better company, but it was further away from "Senior Brother Meng Bai".
This is indeed the case. Meng Bai has been busy with the "Green Ivy Criminal Investigation Universe" project for more than a year.
As a character who appeared in the first season of "Psychological Crime", she is destined not to appear in the later episodes.
All of a sudden, there is no opportunity for cooperation.
If Meng Bai was an actor, it would be better. At least when filming, appearing on TV shows or running activities, you might be able to meet him.
But the problem is that as the boss of a company and the main creator behind the scenes, he basically won't show up to the public except for his own crew.
Even if he returns to the company, it's not the same company.
So there is no chance to meet him at all.
Moreover, Zhu Xudan is worried that her "Senior Brother Meng Bai" is growing too fast.
So fast that she can't catch up at all.
I remember when they first met on the set of "Soul Ferry", "Senior Brother" was just a new producer of a small crew, and she was just a student who hadn't graduated yet.
Although the gap is quite big, at least she feels that she can get it.
"There are so many opportunities for actors to become famous. Maybe after filming a drama, I can become famous overnight!"
This was her thought to comfort herself at the time.
But the fact is that after more than two years, "Senior Brother Meng Bai" has become a big boss in the industry, and she is still a small actor who is not even a third-tier actor.
If the gap is smaller, there is still hope of catching up.
But the gap is so big that it is really daunting and there is really no other idea.
Zhu Xudan was very excited when she came today, because she could finally meet "Senior Brother Meng Bai".
But when she really saw him, she suddenly felt that they were from two different worlds.
Just like the address just now.
She originally wanted to call him "Senior Brother" as before, but after hesitating for a while, she still called him "Mr. Meng", which was more unfamiliar.
But, she felt a little sad.
On the other side, Meng Bai was about to say hello, but when he heard Zhu Xudan's greeting, he couldn't help but be stunned.
He glanced at the girl in front of him with lowered eyebrows. Although he didn't know what she was thinking, he thought about it and guessed it.
Smiling and shaking his head, he deliberately sighed heavily and said: "Alas, Xiaozhu, there is a sad thick barrier between us after all."
Zhu Xudan blinked, the word sounded so familiar.
Thinking about it again, isn't it Lu Xun's text.
It's just...
"Shouldn't it be Runtu?" Zhu Xudan asked stupidly.
"Runtu is from "Hundred Grass Garden", right?"
"No, it's the same article as this one."
"What's the civet?"
"The civet is a small animal that steals watermelons, and Runtu stabbed it..."
Zhu Xudan originally thought that Senior Brother Meng Bai really remembered it wrong, and was still explaining it seriously.
But halfway through, she suddenly saw the other party's face full of ridicule, and finally reacted belatedly.
Zhu Xudan's face flushed immediately.
That's right, Senior Brother was a genius in the drama major, how could he not remember such a classic article.
The so-called "Lu Xun's famous saying" is just a joke on himself.
What should I do, it's so embarrassing!
Her toes had already begun to dig into the ground.
But in between all the embarrassment and annoyance, she couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart.
She remembered that when they were in the crew, her senior brother often "tease" everyone in a similar way and tone.
Subconsciously, Zhu Xudan suddenly felt that the distance was shortened, as if she had returned to a familiar atmosphere again.
"Didn't everyone call me senior brother before? Why did you change now?"
"Ah, I... because..."
Zhu Xudan bit her lip and stammered for a long time.
Meng Bai said: "I saw Liang Jie two days ago, and she was still happily calling me. Why didn't she call you her own little girl?"
"My own..."
Zhu Xudan suddenly felt happy in her heart and smiled foolishly.
Seeing this, Meng Bai raised his hand and tapped her head lightly: "Why are you grinning?"
"No, nothing."
Zhu Xudan came back to her senses, touched her forehead, and then looked at Meng Bai and said sweetly: "Brother Meng Bai!"
"That's right, call me whatever you want."
Meng Bai responded, glanced at her, and suddenly frowned and thought.
Zhu Xudan didn't understand and stood aside and didn't dare to speak.
After a while, Meng Bai finally came back to her senses: "Sorry, I just thought of some work."
"It's okay." Zhu Xudan waved her hand, "Brother, if you are busy, I won't disturb you."
As she said that, she wanted to leave.
"Don't leave in a hurry, I just have something to tell you."
Meng Bai stopped her: "Arc Light has two roles in this year's projects, and the settings and images are quite suitable for you. Listen to them and see if you are interested."
"I'm interested, I'm interested!"
Zhu Xudan nodded and agreed without hesitation.
"I haven't said what role it is yet."
"It's okay, I believe in you." The little girl said firmly.
But then again, there is a role that suits me. Does Arclight not do the "Green Ivy Series" this year?
"Let's listen first." Meng Bai said: "The first project is a web drama of ancient idols, and Arclight is a co-producer."
"What's the name?" Zhu Xudan asked curiously.
"The name of the play is "Chef Fang in the Flower Room", which is adapted from a female novel."
As mentioned before, Arclight has gradually tried new subject areas since this year in order to expand its track.
This time, "Chef Fang in the Flower Room" is the "Huaguang Studio" that Arclight and Huace cooperated with.
As you can see from the name, this is a costume drama with "food and cooking" as the main theme.
The original book is not long, and the plot is not complicated.
The general story is that the heroine "Fang Yishao", who has learned a good cooking skill since childhood, was deceived by Fang Yuanwai of Dongxiang Mansion and asked her to marry Shen Yong, a well-known local dandy and the son of the prefect of Dongxiang Mansion, for her daughter.
Adhering to the belief that "it's better to get married than to wander around", the heroine quickly adjusted her mentality. Then, relying on her unparalleled cooking skills and kind and tenacious character, she managed to guide the male protagonist, who had pretended to be a "bad young master" for many years, into a "good husband" who is both civil and military.
Speaking of the plot alone, there is actually nothing new. This kind of "a blessing in disguise after a wrong marriage" plot has existed since "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
However, the characters in this novel are all quite likable. There are no messy and bloody events, just the three meals a day and sweet daily life of the young couple.
Of course, the biggest highlight of the original novel is the various delicacies that are different in almost every chapter.
When the crew remakes it, they will definitely strengthen this point.
"Can you cook?" Meng Bai asked.
Zhu Xudan shook her head and said a little embarrassedly: "My mother's cooking is very delicious, so I haven't cooked much since I was a child. Otherwise, I would go home during the Spring Festival and learn from my mother." "You
can practice a little, at least you have to look like a professional to the audience."
The crew certainly won't really rely on the actors' own cooking skills. Besides, according to the description of the heroine in the plot, her level is at least at the state banquet level.
At that time, it will still have to be completed by camera editing and hand stand-in.
This kind of technical stand-in has nothing to do with professionalism.
After all, if an actor can just practice and be as hardworking as a professional chef for more than ten years, it would be too uncomfortable.
