Chapter 309: I don't understand but I'm shocked!
"Bai Mengyan!"
At Beijing West Railway Station, a round-faced, slightly plump girl just walked out of the exit, looked at her best friend not far away and shouted, then quickly ran over with her suitcase.
"I told you, call me Bai Mengyan at home, and I won't argue with you. What should you call me when you are outside?"
Bai Lu, wearing a pair of exaggerated sunglasses on her face, looked at her best friend who walked up to her with a cool expression.
"Okay, okay, big star Bai Lu, okay."
"Well, just 'star' is fine, and you don't have to add the word 'big'. As newcomers, we should still be humble." Bai Lu waved his hand with an expression of "keep a low profile".
The bestie rolled her eyes when she heard this: "You're really out of breath when I say you're fat! Be careful or I'll publish those pornographic articles you wrote when you were in school."
Bai Lu, who was caught with the handle, immediately broke down and quickly took off her sunglasses to correct: "Who wrote pornographic articles? That's a serious romance story, okay!"
"Kissing and hugging, serious, um——"
Bai Lu let go of her bestie's hand and pushed her out of the station: "Okay, okay, let's go quickly, I'll take you back to rest."
The two of them walked out of the West Station noisily.
The round-faced girl that Bai Lu came to pick up was named He Handan, nicknamed "Hehe". She was her former classmate and a bestie she had known for many years.
Unlike her who wanted to break into the entertainment industry, He Handan went to work directly after graduation and now works as a cow and horse in a small photography studio.
Because Bai Lu signed a contract with Taiyang Chuanhe and left Jiangsu, the two hadn't seen each other for a long time.
This time, I happened to hear that her new drama was broadcast and I had some free time, so I took a year off to come to Beijing North to find her.
Because they still had their luggage, the two of them went back to Bai Lu's house first.
"Did you buy this?"
He Handan asked curiously as he looked at the small house, which was not very big.
"Oh, you really think highly of me." Bai Lu said, "Do you know how outrageous the housing prices in Beijing North are? This is rented for me by my agent."
"Oh, our Bai celebrities are different. They all have agents!" He Handan said, "I heard that you actors make a lot of money, several million for one movie."
"That's for the first-line big stars. For a small unknown like me, it's good to get hundreds of thousands for one movie."
"No, my friend, 'hundreds of thousands' can only be called good? I really want to take a picture of your face." He Handan shook his head and sighed.
Bai Lu said, "The film crew gave me hundreds of thousands of yuan as remuneration, and more than half of it has to be given to the agency. The remaining money is used to pay the assistants, buy various gym memberships, beauty memberships, and buy a lot of skin care products. People like me who are not professionally trained have to pay for training courses. The key is that without popularity, there are only one or two dramas a year. The money left at the end may not be as high as your salary at work."
"My monthly salary plus performance bonus is 4,200 yuan."
"...It's quite hot to go out at noon, so why not order takeout at home."
Seeing her bestie's contemptuous eyes, Bai Lu smiled apologetically.
It has to be said that the film and television industry has indeed developed well in the past two years. As long as you are not an extra who earns money purely through hard work, you will earn more than ordinary people in a year.
After taking the takeout and milk tea, the two of them gathered on the small coffee table in the living room.
"Look for a suitable drama to watch with dinner."
"What else are you looking for? Just watch my new drama."
Bai Lu took out her mobile phone and opened the Tencent Video APP. As soon as she entered the application, the cover of the homepage was the promotional picture of "Psychological Crime 2".
Clicking on the drama, she looked at her bestie suspiciously: "You haven't watched my new drama yet, have you?"
"Who said that!" He Handan hurriedly clarified, "I got a membership just for you! And I was afraid you wouldn't understand it if you started from the second season, so I watched the first season in advance."
"That's pretty good."
Bai Lu smiled with satisfaction, and then asked, "What do you think of my acting?"
"Well..." He Handan said awkwardly, "Actually, I haven't seen the scene where you appear yet."
"No, sister, what have you been watching?"
"Watching Tai Wei!" He Handan said with shining eyes, "Captain Tai is really handsome!"
"Ah, Brother Zheng, he is indeed very handsome. But he is getting married soon, so forget it." Bai Lu said, "But I thought you would like Fang Mu."
He Handan frowned, "How should I put it? I still like this role very much. But as for the actor, I always feel that he is a little weak. I still like the mature and unruly ones."
After that, she suddenly remembered something and said excitedly, "By the way, I have been seeing them say on the Internet that your boss 'Meng Bai Dada' is also very handsome in real life. Is it true?"
"Aren't there videos and photos of him on the Internet?"
"Those are all shots of award ceremonies, and some of them are many years old. The picture quality is so blurry that you can't tell at all."
He Handan looked at her bestie, "You didn't get a group photo or something, did you?"
"Just kidding!" Bai Lu picked up the phone angrily and opened the album, "Here, this is it."
He Handan looked at the phone screen and couldn't help but brighten up.
The photo was taken from the bottom up, with a man riding on a horse with an upright figure. Although only half of his face is exposed, it is enough to see his handsome appearance.
With the grassland background behind him, it makes people dream of those handsome young generals in ancient times.
Looking at her bestie's shining eyes, Bai Lu looked like "you really haven't seen the world".
But looking at the photos again, she couldn't help but sigh that the experience she learned when she was a model was correct.
The three most important elements for taking portraits are face, figure and temperament.
This photo was taken when she was filming "The Lost Tomb". At
that time, several leading actors were learning to ride horses, and Meng Bai also practiced with them. Bai
Lu was ready to see how her big boss was tossed around, but he learned very quickly and didn't give herself the chance to "laugh at" at all.
Not only did he not flip over, but he was able to ride a horse and gallop in a short time, so handsome!
This photo was taken because she felt the atmosphere was so good at the time that she couldn't help but take a picture.
Of course, she has more than one photo in her mobile phone.
After all, she was recruited by the boss himself, and she is considered a "direct" employee of Arc Light. It's not easy to take a few group photos.
Flipping through the photos, He Handan said enviously: "It turns out that the rumors on the Internet are not groundless. Alas, why haven't I met such a handsome boss, but only a bunch of ugly ones."
After sighing, she suddenly smiled: "Xiaobai, how about we think of a way to help you take down the boss. In this way, you can be the boss's wife in the future, and I don't have to go to work. I
can just follow you and enjoy the good life." This was a joke between the two in the past, saying that whoever became rich in the future, the other would just follow along.
Bai Lu rolled her eyes: "Haha, self-knowledge is a precious quality. Stop daydreaming, my boss doesn't like me."
"No way?" He Handan asked doubtfully: "I saw the news online saying that you look like Bai Yueguang, the white moonlight of 'Meng Bai Dada', so they signed you specifically?"
"Wait, wait, wait, what the hell?!"
Bai Lu looked at her bestie in confusion: "Where did you see this kind of fabricated gossip?"
"Douban, and the marketing accounts on Weibo that specifically break the news."
He Handan took out her mobile phone and flipped through several collected posts for Bai Lu to see.
[A popular "90s flower" L who has participated in the remake of famous works, and the film and television boss M who mainly produces online dramas, were together when they first worked together. It's just that M didn't have the strength he has now, so he was asked to separate by L's company.
Later, M's career became bigger and bigger, and he and L had no more intersections, but he still liked L in his heart. Including the artists signed by M company later, they were all found according to L. For example, T, who has become very popular recently because of a remake of a drama, and B, a young actress who just signed last year, are actually L's stand-ins.
T and B also know about this, and both want to seize this opportunity to replace L. It is said that T is already with M, but B has not given up yet, and there may be some competition in the future. 】
Bai Lu looked at the post on her phone expressionlessly.
It's not that she didn't react, but the degree of explosion of this information completely exceeded her emotional threshold, and she didn't know how to react now.
Looking at the number of views of this post, more than 10,000 people have read it, and there are hundreds of likes.
Flipping back, there are actually quite a few comments below.
【kswl, isn't this the standard "white moonlight" in entertainment industry articles! 】
【It's simply the real version of "Wan Wan Lei Qing"! M is really, I'm crying! 】
【Please figure it out above, isn't M a complete scumbag! He is clearly thinking about L, but he is still with T. T is the same, knowing that he is a stand-in, he can still be with M, I don't understand what kind of concept this is! 】
【Yes, yes! And that B, I don't know if it's true or not. If it's true, isn't this just a case of knowing the third party and taking the third party as the third party? 】
【No, do you really think this is a pure love novel? Let's be realistic, everyone! Do you know what position M holds in the circle now? 】
【Who said it's not true? If it were me, let alone her appearance, I would not hesitate to learn the tone of voice and behavior habits of "Bai Yueguang". 】
【……】
Because the original post clearly described the characteristics of several people, everyone can basically guess who the corresponding person is.
And with the dispute of ideas between the comments, basically no one paid attention to whether this post was true or false, and the netizens who saw it later automatically accepted it.
Looking through several other similar posts, although the details are different, the general content is almost the same plot.
Bai Lu: I don't understand, but I am shocked!
He Handan touched her silent best friend: "By the way, are these news true or false?"
"How can I know? I don't know them well!"
Bai Lu's face was full of pain: "Anyway, the part about B, bah, about me, it's all nonsense!"
"So, the things like 'white moonlight' and 'body double' are not true?"
"Please use your brain to think about it. The heroine of Arclight's next movie is Li Qin. If President Meng really likes her, he can just find her directly. Why bother with a body double?"
He Handan blinked. Indeed, Li Qin was in the cast of the movie "Psychological Crime: City Lights" just announced by Arclight.
Moreover, she played the role of Bai Lu in the web drama.
So from the actual situation, it is probably just because "Li and Bai" look the same, which is convenient for the audience to substitute.
Bai Lu patted her bestie on the shoulder and said, "Haha, let's just watch TV series from now on, and stop watching these messy and irrelevant rubbish."
Just as she finished speaking, Bai Lu's phone suddenly rang.
The two looked at the screen, and the name of the caller was "Big Boss Meng".
