Chapter 38 Senior, don't you remember me?
At the door of the convenience store studio, Meng Bai and a man walked out.
The man was quite tall, with a somewhat weathered face and a slight stubble on his chin. Standing next to Meng Bai, he looked ten years older.
However, in fact, he was actually the same age as Meng Bai, or even a month younger.
The man's name was Bai Yu, and he was Meng Bai's classmate at the Central Academy of Drama.
Although they were classmates, Bai Yu was actually two years younger and from the acting department.
At the beginning, Meng Bai had a girlfriend from the acting department at school, and he ran to the acting department's classroom every day, and he really got to know a lot of people from the acting department, including Bai Yu.
It's just that when I first met him, I almost mistook him for a new teacher.
As a result, a "Hello, teacher" made this new junior brother from the northwest confused.
But it was because of this misunderstanding that the two of them were another kind of "no fight, no acquaintance".
For the play "Pendulum", Meng Bai found a lot of people from the Central Academy of Drama, and naturally he didn't forget Bai Yu.
It just so happened that in the second episode of the script, called "Ghost Detective", the protagonist of the unit was an undercover who was killed. This image suits Bai Yu quite well, so Meng Bai contacted his "junior brother".
"Okay, Lao Meng, that's enough, no need to send me off." Bai Yu patted Meng Bai's arm as they walked out of the set.
"It's okay, it's just two steps away."
"Really, you're so busy here, go back quickly."
"...Brother, I'm going out to pick someone up, and I'll send you off by the way, just go!"
"Fuck! Wasting my feelings." Bai Yu cursed with a smile, and then said with an ambiguous smile: "Are you going to pick up a girl?"
"Don't slander me, can't I pick up a man?"
"Come on, you can be so proactive with a man." Bai Yu nodded his chin not far away: "Those two girls over there should be them, right?"
Meng Bai looked in the direction Bai Yu pointed, and sure enough, he saw two girls standing not far away, looking in his direction.
"Why are there two people?" Meng Bai muttered, and then waved to Bai Yu: "Okay, let's stop here, take care."
"Brother, you are too real." Bai Yu looked down on this "love over friendship" man: "Let's go, you are busy."
Meng Bai made a "talk later" gesture and walked towards the two girls.
Just as Wu Bai had commented on Meng Bai before, he always likes to plan before taking action. So in fact, he had already considered the candidate for the replacement actor, and he immediately contacted someone as soon as he convinced Wu Bai.
Meng Bai and the other party agreed to come to the crew today, and he just received the news and came out to pick them up. But what he didn't expect was that there were actually two people coming.
When he got closer, Meng Bai also saw the appearance of the two girls.
The girl on the left is tall, delicate and bright, with a standard "net celebrity face", the type that makes people feel amazing at first sight.
The girl on the right is a little shorter, with a beautiful and bright appearance, not too old, and looks a little silly.
Meng Bai looked at the girl on the left and asked, "Zhang Yuxi?"
"Yes. Hello, Teacher Meng, I'm Zhang Yuxi. We talked on the phone yesterday." The girl on the left said respectfully and politely.
Meng Bai had originally scheduled an appointment with this girl today. Judging from her appearance alone, it would be very convincing for her to play the "reborn" female lead of the unit.
"I said yesterday that you will probably play a cameo role. Is that okay?" Meng Bai said.
"No problem, no problem." Zhang Yuxi nodded quickly, and said with some uneasiness: "But I don't have much experience in filming. If my performance is not good, please give me more criticism."
The girl is also very nervous now. She was originally just a small model. She had only played the role of the third female in a small web drama shot by Leshi.com before. Apart from that, she had no other acting experience.
Yesterday, a sister from Leshi.com who she met during the filming contacted her and said that the director of a drama wanted her to play a role. She agreed without thinking.
After all, she knew that an unknown "wild little model" like her would not last long.
If you really want to make a name for yourself in the entertainment industry, you have to be an actor.
"It's okay. Your role doesn't have many shots and lines. If you have any questions, just do it a few more times." Meng Bai said indifferently.
Then, he looked at the girl standing on the right and asked, "Are you and this girl together?"
"Ah, no, not really."
The girl on the right was suddenly a little flustered when asked, and hurriedly said, "Master Meng Bai... Hello, producer, my name is Zhu Xudan, an actor of Leshi.com, and Sister Gan Wei asked me to come to you."
"Zhu Xudan?" Meng Bai thought for a few seconds and vaguely remembered.
Indeed, he had told Gan Wei before that there were suitable contracted actors under Leshi.com, and they could also come over to play a few roles.
However, Leshi is not mainly engaged in artist management after all, and there are not many candidates under its command. After much selection, Zhu Xudan was finally chosen.
In any case, this girl is at least a graduate of the Central Academy of Drama, so there should be no problem in filming.
"You are from the Central Academy of Drama, right?" Meng Bai vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen this girl's name in the list given to him by Director Lin before, and it seemed that she was a classmate of Chen Ruoxuan who came to audition.
"Yes, Brother Meng Bai, I am from the Central Academy of Drama." Zhu Xudan seemed to have known Meng Bai for a long time. Seeing that he had an impression of him, he was immediately quite excited and even changed his address to "Brother".
Meng Bai didn't care. It was no matter how he addressed his junior sister.
But he didn't expect to meet someone from the Central Academy of Drama here. The play "Pendulum" is almost a group building of the Central Academy of Drama.
"Since you call me Senior Brother, I can't be stingy." Meng Bai smiled and said, "Let me think about it... There are two female protagonists in the unit, and your image is quite suitable. I will tell you about the plot later and see which role you like."
"Really? Thank you, Senior Brother!" Zhu Xudan thought that it would be good enough to have a small supporting role, but she didn't expect to have an unexpected gain. She immediately thanked Meng excitedly.
Zhang Yuxi on the side looked at the girl next to him enviously. He was just a small supporting role with few shots, but she could pick any role she wanted. It was really enviable.
But there was nothing he could do. After all, she graduated from a professional school and was a contracted artist of the investor. It was normal for her to have such treatment.
After the introduction, it was time to arrange the work. Meng Bai looked at Zhang Yuxi: "You go first and find a man named Liu Zhi, he is the executive producer. Tell him that you are the replacement actor for the unit of "Lust, Caution", and he will help you arrange it."
Zhang Yuxi listened carefully to Meng Bai's instructions, nodded seriously and said: "I understand, Teacher Meng, I will go first."
Watching Zhang Yuxi leave, Meng Bai said to Zhu Xudan who was standing aside and staring at him: "Come with me, I will tell you about the roles that are suitable for you, which one do you want to choose."
"Okay!"
Meng Bai took Zhu Xudan to the crew, talking to her about the plot as they walked.
But what puzzled him was that this girl was always looking at him with a smile on her face, which made him a little uncomfortable.
"Ahem." Meng Bai coughed lightly and couldn't help asking: "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
"Ah, no." Zhu Xudan shook her head, and the double ponytails hanging behind her ears also swayed.
"Then why do you keep staring at me?"
Zhu Xudan pursed her lips, hesitated for a while, and finally looked up at Meng Bai and asked: "Brother Meng Bai, don't you remember me?"
