Chapter 65 Very smooth
It is very common for the original actors to suddenly quit the show for the crew. Most of the reasons are that they have received a new drama that they like more or has a bigger name.
Just like when Meng Bai invited Wang Longzheng before, he also turned down another drama that was originally scheduled and chose "Psychological Crime".
So when he heard the news, Meng Bai's first reaction was to ask the other party if he had accepted a new drama.
Unexpectedly, Hua Yan shook her head and said, "Brother Liu said that he asked around and it seemed that there was something wrong with the girl's family, some private matters, and she didn't accept other dramas."
Meng Bai nodded. There was nothing he could do about personal problems. After all, he hadn't signed the contract yet, so there was nothing to say whether the girl came or not.
Fortunately, the crew still had a backup plan.
"Let Liu Zhi go to the mother of the little girl named Zhao Jinmai at that time to ask if the time and schedule are suitable." Meng Bai ordered: "Tell him that the pay and treatment should still be based on equal conditions. It can be appropriately increased, but it cannot exceed the standard, otherwise I might as well just find someone else."
"Okay." Hua Yan nodded and left the room. But not long after, she appeared at the door again in a sneaky way.
Meng Bai heard the noise, glanced at her and asked, "You are sneaking around, are you planning to assassinate me?"
"Hehe, how could that be. There is a...sister outside? It should be a sister. She is pretty and said she wants to see you." Hua Yan said.
"Sister?" Meng Bai asked in confusion, "Didn't she say her name?"
Hua Yan blinked, "Uh, I forgot to ask."
"Great!" Meng Bai took a deep breath, stood up and walked out, saying, "You are derelict in your duty. I will deduct 200 yuan from you. Go to the finance department to record it later."
"...Oh."
Walking out of the crew preparation room, Meng Bai saw a woman's back from a distance. She was wearing a red slim-fitting top with a ribbon tied around her waist, outlining her slender waist. She was wearing a pair of denim shorts, revealing two long, straight, white legs.
The woman stood there, looking at the students coming and going in the teaching building in the distance, and all the emotions on her face were hidden under the large sunglasses.
"Why, sister, do you suddenly miss your youth after coming to campus?" Meng Bai walked to the woman and said teasingly.
"What do you mean by miss? Sister, I am in my youth now!"
Qin Lan took off her sunglasses and glared at Meng Bai. Then she put on a bright smile on her face again, spread her hands and said, "Long time no see, come, give me a hug."
Meng Bai would naturally not refuse such a request. She stretched out her hand to pull Qin Lan's arm into her arms, and hugged her tightly amidst the other's small scream.
"Okay, okay, it's okay."
Qin Lan pushed Meng Bai away in a panic, stood up and looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tsk tsk, you are so brave now, you dare to take advantage of me." Qin Lan looked at Meng Bai with a smile.
She was just joking. According to her previous experience, Meng Bai would usually find an excuse to change the subject, so that she could enjoy the pleasure of "teasing" the little boy. Unexpectedly, this naughty brother has changed his style now, and it is me who is teased.
"Please be reasonable, sister. I strictly follow your orders. How can I take advantage of you?"
"No matter what, do you think sister is a person who likes to be reasonable?"
"..."
After joking with each other, neither of them took the "accident" to heart. Meng Bai was more curious about why Qin Lan suddenly came to find her.
"When I read the script before, I said that I would congratulate you at the celebration banquet, but I happened to be in the crew and didn't have time to go. There were several scenes to be filmed abroad later, so I didn't have time to congratulate you."
Qin Lan said: "The crew just finished filming and returned to China, and got off the plane in Blue Island. I saw in your circle of friends that you are preparing a new crew in Blue Island recently, so I just came to see you and congratulate you by the way."
When she read the script of "Pendulum", she felt that this would be a good work, and that's why she was willing to use her personal connections to help Meng Bai introduce Gan Wei to each other.
But what she didn't expect was that Meng Bai's debut work would have such a explosive result. That "good friend" even called her specially to thank her for introducing Meng Bai, which brought huge profits to Leshi.com.
When Soul Ferry was popular, she had been watching it in the crew. Every time she saw the praise in the comments and the media reports on the broadcast data, she would feel proud.
Meng Bai smiled and said, "To be honest, I should be the one to thank you. I can only repay Sister Qin Lan's help with my body. I just hope that Sister can give me a chance to repay you."
"Are you taking advantage of Sister again?" Qin Lan rolled her eyes and couldn't help laughing, "Let's not talk about whether I will repay you with my body, but I remember that you still owe me a glass of wine."
"Okay, I'll make it up to you right away."
——
"Ding!"
The two wine glasses touched each other lightly, making a crisp sound.
"This place is nice." Qin Lan looked around, the flickering candles, the soft piano music and the whispering atmosphere, everywhere was full of elegant and ambiguous atmosphere.
"When entertaining guests, I, a local, always have to bring out the place that matches." Meng Bai said as he added wine to the two people's glasses.
"Oh, I forgot you are from Blue Island." Qin Lan said, "Then you can just go home and live."
Meng Bai shook his head and said, "No need. My family lives in Blue Mountain. It takes more than an hour to go back and forth every day. And the crew has to work until midnight. It's better to live in a hotel."
"Yes, if I go home, I have to say hello to my parents when it's late. It's really troublesome."
Qin Lan took a sip of wine and looked at Meng Bai opposite. Unlike last year's dinner, although his appearance has not changed, his whole body has a kind of high-spirited and sharp aura.
This aura is brought by the success and development of his career. In his originally peaceful personality, it adds a bit of calmness, confidence and aggression.
Thinking of this, Qin Lan couldn't help but smile. In the past, although this stinky brother would tease, he rarely "tease" himself like this.
It is said that career is the best "tonic" for men, and even little boys are no exception.
However, this look makes people like it more!
Especially when he thought that he had also contributed to the other person's change, he had an urge to "harvest".
After another large glass of red wine, Qin Lan's face gradually began to show a slightly drunken blush, and her eyes became blurred, and her watery eyes were like shining stars.
When Qin Lan was looking at Meng Bai, Meng Bai was also observing her. Looking at the woman's watery eyes, he subconsciously remembered the words that Qiong Yao had said about her before - a tear of Qin Lan is a star in the sky.
Although it is somewhat exaggerated, it feels particularly appropriate to use it at this time.
"When I read the script before, I was thinking, such an interesting story, it would be great if I could make a guest appearance." Qin Lan supported her chin with one hand, leaned forward on the table, looked at Meng Bai and said: "It's a pity that I didn't have this opportunity after joining the group."
"Sister, you should have told me earlier that I would have moved the unit of Yang Guifei to the second season and waited for you to play it." Meng Bai said.
"Yang Guifei? Are you saying I'm fat?" Qin Lan sensitively grasped the key point.
Meng Bai said, "Sister, please read less unofficial history. That's what we call plump. Besides, your weight of less than 100 pounds is not at all 'fat'."
"Then you mean I don't have a good figure." Qin Lan leaned forward, and the whiteness of her chest squeezed out a ravine.
The spring scenery was in full view. Not to mention, most actresses are very thin in real life in order to look good on camera. In comparison, this sister is unexpectedly capable and looks like "a thin branch bearing great fruits".
Meng Bai subconsciously flashed an adjective in his mind - very smooth.
Qin Lan was very satisfied with Meng Bai's reaction and returned to the topic, saying, "What a pity, it's all filmed."
After sighing, she suddenly seemed to remember something and asked excitedly, "Hey, do you have any suitable and interesting roles in your new drama this time? I can make a friendly guest appearance for you."
