Chapter 30 I Want Teacher Bai
The shooting schedule was tight, so I could only stay for one night when I got back.
Bai You had no plan to spend the night at Meng Qingyan's place.
However, it was still early after dinner, and he couldn't bear to leave Xiaoliang, so he took out the cat strips to tease the cat again.
At about this time, Xiaoliang finally felt hungry, and he lay in his arms and ate half of it obediently.
Bai You was very satisfied.
When he looked up again, the food for him had arrived.
Meng Qingyan rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing the smooth lines of his wrist, and the black dial reflected a cold, fragmented light.
Even without clothes, this hand can easily give people a feeling of nobility, elegance and business elite.
But at this moment, the wooden shallow plate in this hand was filled with snacks.
After placing the things in front of him, Meng Qingyan turned around and took the half-read document next to him, and started working anytime, anywhere.
He just said in a calm voice: "See if there is anyone you like?"
Compared to Bai You who can devote all his energy and attention to the script and the filming of Building No. 8, Meng Qingyan's workload is obviously much greater.
There were several times when the two of them finished playing around and when Bai You woke up, Meng Qingyan was still leaning against the head of the bed, concentrating on his work.
He would make the sound of the signing pen very softly, so that the signature on the document would look a little floating.
Every time, Bai You would deliberately laugh at him for indulging himself in excessive sexual activities and being so weak that he couldn't even hold a pen.
However, despite the fuss, the labels that Bai You had previously given Meng Qingyan in his heart, such as "young master", "dandy", "young master", etc., have gradually become blurred as time goes by.
The Jin couple treat Bai You very well.
Whether he was attending kindergarten, elementary school, or middle school...
They are all the same as Jinbaobao.
Although he can receive the best education, at the same time, as time goes by, his background gradually becomes apparent, and he will naturally become one of the most "special" children in the class or even in the school.
In aristocratic schools, almost all children come from wealthy families above middle class.
Even so, there are still some unspoken rules or food chains in schools that are recognized by everyone.
It seems that everyone's eyes are naturally turned towards children whose families are better off than their own.
Even some parents grit their teeth and send their children to such schools with the intention of expanding their own network of relationships through their children.
Bai You has met many people.
Frivolous, arrogant, flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak...
Including many people who, after entering society, still do nothing, are lazy and only want to seek opportunities to rise to the top by scheming and currying favor.
Bai You had no intention of paying attention to these.
He had no interest in any of this, including when he was in it.
He never provokes others, and because he speaks little but has a strong fist, gradually those who want to provoke him only dare to point fingers behind his back and no longer dare to come in front of him.
It’s just that the brother of one of Jin Baobao’s classmates graduated in the same class as him, so Bai You could occasionally hear some jokes from him.
Bai You originally thought that Meng Qingyan was probably a child similar to them.
After all, it is difficult for anyone to remain sober and humble when he is in the spotlight for a long time.
But Meng Qingyan is different.
While expressing his ambitions and desires clearly, he is actually more diligent, hard-working and down-to-earth than most people.
He is not a hypocritical person. In fact, he is very hardworking and has many ideas.
As if noticing Bai You's gaze, Meng Qingyan raised his eyes, and a rare hint of doubt appeared between his deep brows.
"You don't like any of them?" he asked.
"Of course I like it." Bai You answered immediately, worried that the other party would notice that he had not had time to check the variety of snacks.
Originally he was just being perfunctory, but after seeing it clearly, he could no longer suppress the shock in his heart.
Because at this moment the plate was full of snacks that he usually liked to use to kill time.
Chocolate with molten nuts, mango pudding, various dried fruits, and air-dried flavored shrimps...
Bai You's heart skipped a beat and he narrowed his eyes subconsciously.
If he thought it was a coincidence when they both bought pajamas at the same time before, what about now?
Saying that Meng Qingyan is deliberately trying to please him?
Bai You thought it would be better not to flatter himself.
After all, Meng Qingyan never gave in to him, whether in bed or outside the bed.
Even though I was crying and begging for mercy, this person didn't retreat but advanced, and didn't slow down but rushed...
After his brain froze for a moment, Bai You immediately turned his thoughts to a healthier track.
Over the years, I have never been picky about food in front of others.
Not to mention Meng Qingyan, even Jin Baobao might not know his true preferences.
It is absolutely impossible to "please" others.
However, if he wasn't trying to please others, could it be that he and Meng Qingyan really had a telepathic connection?
Otherwise, how could their preferences be so similar?
Bai You sat up straight in shock and began to deny his previous evaluation.
"Actually, I can't say I like it that much," he pursed his lips, "I can only say it's okay."
Hearing this, Meng Qingyan raised his eyebrows, probably noticing his straight back, a faint smile quietly appeared in his dark eyes.
The pen swished across the document, he lowered his eyes and turned the pages without saying anything else.
The air became quiet again, and even Xiaoliang raised his paw and yawned slightly.
Bai You held Xiao Liang in his arms and unpacked the snacks in front of him.
He had just finished his meal and was not hungry yet, but he could clearly feel that the chocolate here from Meng Qingyan was richer and more fragrant than the ones he usually bought.
However, there was no brand logo on the golden tin foil. Bai You pondered for a moment and couldn’t help but ask Meng Qingyan for the purchase link.
"I brought it back from abroad some time ago." Meng Qingyan said, and then asked, "Do you like it? If you like it..."
"I want to buy some for the young master." Bai You was stroking the cat. When he heard that it was brought from abroad, he couldn't help feeling regretful.
"Heh..." Meng Qingyan's voice paused slightly, and the smile in his eyes faded slightly and imperceptibly.
"That's a pity," his tone suddenly seemed to fade, "you just ate the last piece."
Tsk tsk, Bai You thought, it’s a good thing that he didn’t really think that Meng Qingyan was “trying to please” him just now.
Otherwise, your face would be swollen by now.
I wanted to fight back, but I was too soft-hearted, and I was holding someone else's cat in my arms...
Bai You lowered his eyes and opened his phone to check the time.
But Meng Qingyan's attitude quickly softened.
"I'll be done with my work soon," he said. "You can walk around the house if you're bored."
"Can I see your study?" Bai You asked, putting down his phone.
Meng Qingyan's performance achievements have long been obvious to all.
But apart from talent, Bai You has always guessed that this is inseparable from his teacher Wang Yuanxiang.
Therefore, he wanted to go to his study as soon as possible.
Take a look at what books are on Meng Qingyan’s bookshelf. Maybe among them are the books on the list that Teacher Wang has arranged for him.
But the study is quite sensitive after all, and there should be a lot of information and documents about Tianying Entertainment in it.
So, even though Meng Qingyan said that he could walk around the house, he still wanted to confirm with him again.
"Yeah." Meeting his slightly widened eyes full of expectation, Meng Qingyan subconsciously raised his hand.
The pen spun around his fingertips, and the hand fell back down.
"Do you know which one?" he asked.
"Where you just picked up the file?" Bai You said.
"Well, go ahead." Meng Qingyan smiled, "You can take a look. There's nothing confidential in there."
Bai You was relieved.
After putting the sleeping Xiaoliang into his own nest, he went over and pushed open the heavy wooden door of the study.
Meng Qingyan’s study is also very large, and the entire wall of bookshelves is almost filled with books.
The moment he pushed open the door, Bai You was slightly surprised.
But he soon discovered that Meng Qingyan had good reading habits. Most of the different types of books were classified and stored in an orderly manner.
And performance-related books only occupy one-third of the bookshelf.
From the history of Western European drama, to must-reads for screenwriters, to the original edition of Shakespeare's complete works, and even some out-of-print books...
It can be said that it has everything.
For a moment, Bai You seemed to have entered a fortress filled with wealth.
I was filled with joy, yet at a loss as to what to do. I wanted to pack them all into my brain, but in fact I couldn't even decide which one to read first.
Because at least a quarter of them are versions that are not easy to buy on the market.
After picking up more than a dozen books, Bai You was sitting on the carpet and was about to turn the page when the door was suddenly pushed open from outside.
Meng Qingyan's tall figure appeared at the door.
"What's up, Mr. Bai?" He laughed, "Are you going to help me move my study room?"
"I'm choosing books." Bai You said, and began to consider the filming time of Building No. 8, and whether he could still borrow books from Meng Qingyan after Building No. 8 was completed.
"Do you like it so much?" Meng Qingyan walked over with a smile and looked down at him.
Seeing the books he had chosen, the smile in his eyes grew a little wider.
"Don't read these yet," he said, selecting a few more books from the bookshelf. "I don't know if your professional teachers have recommended them to you, but my teacher assigned them to me as homework."
He paused and added, "If you have read it before, you can also read it again a few times, you should be able to gain something."
"I've read some of them, and some I haven't." Bai You tilted his head and watched him take the books off the bookshelf one by one.
"Yeah." Meng Qingyan sat down opposite Bai You and did not comment on this. He only said, "After Building No. 8 is over, you can spend more time on dramas and musicals. Dramas and musicals are more pure and passionate in expressing emotions, more exaggerated, and more diverse. Although different from movies, they can easily draw people in."
He paused, then handed the book to Bai You, "You can read the original work later, and you can get twice the result with half the effort."
Bai You usually watches more movies and rarely comes into contact with performances such as dialogue dramas.
Hearing this, he nodded very humbly.
Just as the topic was about to get deeper, Meng Qingyan suddenly raised his wrist to look at his watch.
"It's almost nine o'clock," he asked, "shall I take you home?"
Bai You: “…”
Meng Qingyan's home not only has countless delicious snacks, Xiaoliang, but also so many books...
Bai You began to feel a little reluctant.
"How about," Meng Qingyan slowly leaned closer to him and whispered, "Teacher Bai, can you stay at my place tonight?"
Bai You laughed, stepped back, and felt Meng Qingyan's kiss on his cheek.
"I've already told my family." He stood up and put the books he had taken down back to their original places, leaving only one book in his hand, and asked, "Can I borrow it?"
Meng Qingyan lowered his eyes and watched his every move, his eyes sank slightly.
This person, having received favors from others, will definitely repay them.
No matter how good others are to him and how much love they give him, he will never become arrogant because of the favor, but will only draw boundaries for himself more clearly.
They will regard protecting others as their duty, will never be picky about food because of their background, and will try to stay sober when faced with great temptation.
"Sure." He said in a very soft voice, "If it's Teacher Bai's words, anything is fine."
*
At nine o'clock in the evening, although some sections of the road were still congested, most sections were unobstructed.
Meng Qingyan held the steering wheel and looked at the road, while Bai You lowered his head and opened the book "The Art of Editing" in his hand.
He had read books on editing before, but most of them were boring.
Although I read it carefully from a learning perspective, it is likely that I failed to absorb it.
However, this book reviews the creative experience of several classic films from the perspective of editing.
And in the form of dialogue, it vividly demonstrates the author's unique ideas about editing, film, and art as a whole.
Bai You has seen several of the movies used as examples in the book.
Therefore, the whole reading process is also a review of the movie for him.
After the first few pages, his heart sank quickly.
As for the book's specific descriptions of film editing points, transition timing, and blank spaces, it is easy for him to jump out of the actor's perspective and enter the perspective of the director and editor.
Not only that, the notes and insights written by Meng Qingyan between the lines of the book can also inspire people.
For a moment, Bai You felt that he was no longer simply understanding and presenting the story.
Instead, it naturally enters the macro perspective.
After more than forty minutes, when I had roughly flipped through nearly half of the book, the car suddenly stopped.
Bai You looked up and noticed that it was a little dark outside the window.
He looked carefully for a while before realizing that they were in an alley not far from the Jin family's house.
Two years ago, an office building here was demolished and reconstruction work has just started recently. It is said that they plan to build a large shopping mall.
However, due to the dense residential areas nearby, the construction site will stop work on time after 8 o'clock in the evening.
And this alley is near the construction site.
Although they could see the dense lights of the residential area, it was exceptionally quiet near them at this moment.
"What?" Bai You was a little confused.
His brain was still absorbing knowledge tirelessly, and his eyes were naturally clear and bright. He was confused and asked, "Is the car broken down?"
Hearing this, Meng Qingyan pressed the corners of his lips with difficulty.
"Teacher Bai is really fickle," he chuckled, "Didn't you even glance at me along the way?"
Bai You blinked and understood instantly.
The two of them finally had some time to spare from being sneaky, but they ended up having to go back to Jin's house to spend the night...
Before, he was wondering why this person was so magnanimous and had no objections at all. It turned out that he was waiting for him here.
He cautiously hugged the book to himself and asked, "What for?"
"Don't worry, I don't want Teacher Bai's book." Meng Qingyan raised his eyes again, his eyes dim and vague.
This was the first time he felt that the Jin family was so close to his residence, so close that he wanted to stretch out time, slow down a little, and slow down even more.
But time could not be controlled by Meng Qingyan.
So when he saw this deserted alley, he chose to stop time temporarily.
However, there was no sign of relaxation in his expression.
The burning eyes make it easy for people to think of the words "aggression" and "hunger".
The lights dimmed, leaving only the faint moonlight.
Meng Qingyan raised his hand, held Bai You's palm without question, and chuckled, "But I really want Teacher Bai right now."
