Chapter 467 How shameful!
Although she has been in the industry for several years and has starred in many hit dramas, Bai Lu's popularity has not been rising fast.
Bai Lu starred in an ancient puppet drama "Swagger" at the beginning of last year. Because the male lead Xu Kai had just become popular for the role of "Fu Cha Fu Heng" in "Story of Yanxi Palace", the popularity of the new drama was very high, but it could only be considered a small hit.
What really made her popular was participating in the new season of "Running Man" after the revision last year.
As the only two female members of the entire program, Bai Lu relied on her attitude of not caring about her image and her iconic hearty laughter to be accepted by the old audience of the program after one episode.
After that, she relied on various slices and clips in the short videos to attract fans for herself and also brought a lot of new audiences to the program.
It's normal. The audience watches variety shows for fun. With such a beautiful girl who doesn't care about her image, has a brilliant program effect, and is happy every day on the screen, everyone is willing to take a second look.
That is to say, relying on her outstanding performance, she not only stood firm in the program "Running Man", but also increased her popularity.
Before the new season of "Running Man" ended, many invitations from other programs had been sent to Bai Lu's agent, and the schedule was directly scheduled for half a year later.
The last person who had this treatment was Yang Chaoyue - there are many artists with traffic these days, but it is really hard to find those with program effects.
However, Meng Bai had told her team before that variety shows should be selected as much as possible, not too frequently.
Actors need to shape roles. There are too many personal labels and too heavy in variety shows. Once they play certain characters with different personalities, it is easy for the audience to be out of the play.
This kind of out of the play, sometimes even cannot be compensated by acting.
However, this time when doing "Fifty Kilometers Peach Blossom Village", Meng Bai still added her in. In comparison, Meng Ziyi still weighs more in his heart.
Another point is that he thinks it should be quite effective to put these girls together, and maybe something new can be done.
Bai Lu and Meng Ziyi are not familiar with each other, but they also know the relationship between each other and the boss.
After listening to Meng Bai's introduction of the new program, she vaguely understood that this might be specially made by the boss for the other party.
How envious!
Bai Lu muttered in her heart, why don't I have such a good "little uncle".
By the way, if I take the initiative to recognize it now, can the boss agree to it?
Meng Bai naturally didn't know what the girl in front of him was thinking, otherwise he would have to complain about why he recognized so many nieces when he had nothing to do.
Looking at Bai Lu who looked thoughtful, he continued: "In addition to the new program, the company will have a drama to be filmed next. The heroine is quite suitable for you. I will ask someone to send the script to your agent later."
Bai Lu suddenly cheered up and looked at Meng Bai with bright eyes: "Boss, what drama is it?"
"A novel adaptation drama, the original work is called "One Life, One World, Beautiful Bones", involving two timelines in ancient and modern times, one is cruel and the other is sweet, a bit like the nature of reincarnation."
Meng Bai introduced that this drama is a collaboration between Tianqi Entertainment and Huace. Although the original work is a book, when the project was adapted, the two timelines were split into two stories, "Zhou Shengru Gu" and "One Life, One World". Different backgrounds but the same roles, equivalent to "one book, two films".
"It sounds interesting." Bai Lu raised her face and grinned, "Thank you, boss!"
After laughing, she couldn't help muttering in her heart, the boss gave her both the program and the new script, does he really not need her to "sleep with him"?
Or is he waiting for her to take the initiative?
Well, it's not impossible. After all, the boss, a big man in the industry, must have style. How could he be like those third-rate little directors, pulling those little actors and directly saying that they will have roles after sleeping? That's too vulgar.
"Pah!"
With a crisp sound, Meng Bai looked at Bai Lu who was awakened: "Are you thinking about the filming of the new drama again? Is there any problem recently?"
"No, no, I just suddenly received such good news, and I'm a little excited. I must perform well when I think about it, and live up to the boss's expectations of me!" Bai Lu said with a serious expression.
"Really?" Meng Bai glanced at her suspiciously, "Your attitude is good, remember to keep it up."
"Yeah, no problem."
Bai Lu nodded a few times, and then asked cautiously: "Um, boss, after dinner, I will go with you?"
"Sure." Meng Bai replied casually.
Here it comes, my guess was right!
Bai Lu shouted in her heart, after all, she still has to go to this step.
But why is there no reluctance in her heart, but a little eager to try?
After all, this girl is still quite pretty, even the boss likes her.
Well, no, I have to be serious and can't laugh out loud, otherwise it will ruin the atmosphere.
Thinking of this in her heart, Bai Lu began to try to regulate her behavior and try to look like a normal and beautiful girl.
Unfortunately, after acting hard for a long time, she found that the boss didn't even look at her, and kept talking to Hua Yan about work.
Not to mention, the boss looks particularly good when he looks serious.
She couldn't help but think of the drama "Half Honey, Half Hurt" that she was filming recently. The plot background setting of this drama is mainly based on investment banks, and the male lead is a standard "cold and domineering boss".
Bai Lu couldn't help but think of the male lead actor Luo Yunxi who played opposite her, and then subconsciously compared him with the boss.
Look at the face, look at the figure, look at the temperament, uh...
forget it, there is no need to compare, this is not on the same level at all. Xiao Luo is just an actor, and the boss is the real "domineering boss" himself.
Oh, that's not right, the boss is not that domineering, most of the time he is quite gentle.
It's a pity, why didn't I get to know the boss first, then maybe the position of "Arc Light's No. 1 Boss Lady" would be mine now.
Just thinking about it, Bai Lu ended the dinner without knowing the taste. It was not until she walked out of the restaurant and the summer heat wave hit her. She came back to her senses.
"Get in the car."
Meng Bai said as he came to the front of the car. Just as he was about to go around to the driver's seat, he suddenly found Bai Lu looking around at the street across the street, as if looking for something.
"What are you doing?"
"Boss, I just seemed to see some paparazzi following me."
Meng Bai was stunned for a moment, and looked across the street through the vehicles coming and going: "Are there any? Why can't I see anything?"
"Yes, there." Bai Lu raised her hand and pointed in a direction, "The white car over there should be it."
Meng Bai looked in the direction she pointed, and indeed saw a car. There was a faint light in the car, which should be the reflection of the lens.
"Your eyesight is pretty good."
"Before the flu, we could see it every now and then, and we all have experience." Bai Lu said: "Some of them have been following for a long time and are familiar with it. Occasionally, we will ask them to help take some Reuters photos or something like that."
"Your ecology is quite harmonious..."
"It's all work. We want popularity and they want traffic and attention. We each get what we need."
Bai Lu said with a smile, and then suddenly his face froze and reacted.
That's not right. She was photographed with her boss just now. Isn't that the end of it?
"Boss, do I need to find someone to contact them and buy the photos?"
"Why buy photos?"
"They... they should have taken photos of me and you together just now." Bai Lu stuttered.
Meng Bai looked at her strangely: "If they take the photos, they take them. We are just talking about work. Is there a rule that bosses can't treat employees to dinner?"
"This..."
Bai Lu blinked, the boss said it with confidence.
Wait, that's not right. So far, it seems that the boss has been talking to her about work and has not said anything else.
Could it be that she is thinking too much, and tonight is really just to talk about work, not "serving the bed"?
Just thinking about this, she suddenly saw Meng Bai waving to the opposite side.
"Boss, what are you doing?"
"Just say hello, let them take a picture of me to look handsome."
Meng Bai retracted his gaze: "Let them take the pictures, what's there to be afraid of openly. Get in the car, I'll take you back."
"..."
Bai Lu got in the car at a loss, and was silent all the way.
How embarrassing! The boss clearly didn't mean anything, and I was thinking about "sleeping with him" for a long time. It was really embarrassing!
What? It's not embarrassing if you don't say it out loud? Haha, it's a good thing I didn't say it out loud, otherwise I would really die on the spot.
Meng Bai didn't pay much attention to the silence of the girl next to him. He was always observing the rearview mirror to see if the car caught up with him.
He changed the speed and lane along the way to test it. I don't know if the other party gave up after being discovered or if the tracking technology was too good. Anyway, he didn't notice that there was a car following him.
Just like this, he returned to the hotel entrance quietly. Meng Bai retracted his attention and looked at Bai Lu in the co-pilot: "We're here, let your assistant come down to pick you up."
"Ah? Oh, okay."
Bai Lu was still immersed in shame. She took out her mobile phone stupidly and sent a WeChat message to her bestie. Then she didn't even look at the big question mark in the other party's reply and turned off the screen.
No, I'll just wash up and go to bed when I get back. When I wake up tomorrow morning, I'll forget about what happened tonight.
