Chapter 42: Home run by default, wait...
With a loud bang, Meng Qingyan's reply was like adding fuel to the fire. Flames suddenly danced all over the sky and the atmosphere instantly reached a fever pitch.
There was a lot of screaming on the Internet. If there was a unit of measurement or it was materialized, Bai You suspected that the roof would really be blown off by the sound waves.
[Ahhhhhhh, brother's kiss mark. Suddenly I feel that even the shape of the kiss mark has become so beautiful. 】
[Damn, I’m so envious of Bai You, this is my brother’s first screen kiss! 】
[I can’t imagine what Qing Yan’s kissing scene would be like, but if it was a vision of Bai You, I would probably be so excited that I would pass out. 】
[Ahhhhhhh, I'm so jealous! 】
[Damn, I'm jealous too. Actor Meng eats so well.] 】
[Fuck, is your Building No. 8 so exciting? Just by imagining the approximate posture in his mind, JJ exploded. 】
[The kissing scene with top-notch looks is so pleasing to the eyes, oh my god, I can’t wait even a minute, right now, immediately, I want to see the entire Building No. 8. 】
[+1, don't force me to kneel down and beg you, QAQ]
【……】
【+100866666……】
[Am I the only one who is curious about how intense this scene was to leave so many traces? So much so that Ms. Bai probably even gave up on concealer, so she can only go out wearing a scarf? 】
[Allow me to expand on this. This is only what everyone can see. There must be more that cannot be seen, right? 】
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, say it again upstairs, your nose is bleeding all over.]
[I will carry the blue and white flag: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, brother, are you the first to take the pills? 】
[I'll carry the blue and white banner: Ahhhhhhhh, brother, you're really good at sucking him, how much do you like him to suck him so hard? 】
[I will carry the blue and white flag: I have already assumed the all-time lead, now I am just waiting for the official announcement. 】
[This couple is really good. Bai You hasn't come out to clarify yet, but Meng Qingyan has already come out to refute the rumors. I can't stand it anymore. I want to support the real people. 】
[Don't spread rumors, don't believe in rumors. The two are just good colleagues. They are all doing this for the movie. Please don't escalate the situation. 】
[It’s started, it’s started, the unknown actor on the 18th tier has started to go to the moon and make a false claim again. 】
[The fans are really a bit disappointed. Which drama doesn’t ship CPs nowadays? 】
[Did no one notice?] Are some of the recent information deliberately directed at Bai You? Is it blocking someone's financial path or offending them? 】
[Probably a bit of both. He suddenly became so popular that his peers who had been tepid all the time were bound to be jealous. And at his current speed, there is a high probability that he will be promoted after Building No. 8. If he were to be parachuted in, those who were originally going to be promoted might miss this opportunity. At this moment, it is estimated that many people are thinking of pulling him down. 】
[The entertainment industry is so dangerous. Please be kind to Bai You for a minute.] 】
【……】
Real-time comments popped up so fast that Bai You was dazzled.
There are those who are crazy about the couple, those who are joking, those who are into couples, and those who are trying to maintain order...
But there is no doubt that at this moment, most people's firepower has been diverted.
The fingertips that were sliding on the screen slowly stopped, and Bai You subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the bright sunlight coming in through the window.
"When you wake up tomorrow," Meng Qingyan's voice sounded in his ears again, "everything will be resolved."
At that time, he was sleepy and did not take this sentence to heart.
I originally thought that when I woke up in the morning, I would first communicate with the director and the crew, and then we would work together to draft a statement to clarify the matter.
He never thought that what Meng Qingyan said actually had the most direct literal meaning.
He woke up from a sweet dream and found that everything had been perfectly resolved. He didn't need to rush around and worry about it anymore. He just needed to welcome the warm sunshine with peace of mind.
Such a thing might be just a piece of cake for Meng Qingyan, but Bai You would easily feel indebted.
No matter how affectionate their relationship is in bed, it is better for them to forget about each other after they leave and put on their pants, which is the most justified way.
Once there is indebtedness, gratitude and warmth, it is inevitable that some unrealistic hopes or burdens will arise in the heart.
Bai You was silent for a moment, called up Meng Qingyan's dialog box again, and edited it slowly.
【BY: Thank you for your trouble this morning. I will treat Teacher Meng to dinner later. 】
Such words always give people a frivolous feeling, and are so polite that one can hardly feel much sincerity.
But apart from this, there seemed to be nothing else more appropriate to say to Meng Qingyan.
Bai You pondered for a moment and finally clicked send.
The phone vibrated and Meng Qingyan quickly replied.
[MY: Then can Mr. Bai be more proactive next time and use more force on his waist? 】
Unable to hold back, Bai You started laughing.
He leaned back against the head of the bed, his muscles and mind relaxed at the same time, and he became more relaxed.
【BY: Sure, remember to delete the chat history, Master. 】
Meng Qingyan's message came in again.
[MY: My family sent me some seafood porridge. I shared it among my colleagues and gave the rest to Tao Yin. I’ll ask her to bring it to you later. 】
Bai You didn't reply.
He forwarded a copy of Jiang Minyao's official statement to his own Weibo, and then carefully replied to the director and Meng Qingyan respectively.
The director’s part isn’t difficult, you just need to simply say thank you.
But Meng Qingyan's point is a bit difficult to think about.
Bai You pondered for a moment, and failed to end with a "get out" in Shen Nian's tone like last time. Instead, he carefully typed a line of formal and polite text on the screen.
[Since I joined the crew of Building No. 8, I have been deeply grateful for the care of all the seniors, especially Teacher Meng, who is always patient and attentive in my performances, and accompanies me to perform every scene to perfection. I am grateful. Building No. 8 may not get full marks in everyone’s heart, but it will never disappoint everyone’s expectations. I hope that one day we can gather in Building No. 8 and start this story together. 】
After clicking send and checking it carefully, he let out a long sigh, then got up and washed up.
Since joining Building No. 8, Bai You has experienced three rounds of public opinion fermentation.
If Meng Qingyan hadn't had that video file the first time, no matter how he clarified it, there would always be shadows and doubts left.
"Playing big shot" will become his new label.
If the second time, Qiu Wan didn't really want to get engaged to Jiao Qian.
Well, even if the two clarify things to each other, there will still be people who will regard them as a couple and label him as "love-brained".
Then through a series of subsequent operations, he was explosion-proofed.
Only the third time, although it seemed dangerous, everyone in the group could testify, so it was the easiest to escape.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. From then on, Bai You became more cautious in his words and actions.
In addition, the filming tasks became increasingly heavy, and Bai You did not leave the crew for a long time afterwards.
The hotel and the film set are the only two points between them, and life is busy and fulfilling.
In mid-June, Tianying Entertainment opened a casting call for a new project, and Qiu Wan received an audition invitation.
She was very happy and shared her joy with Bai You and He Yuan in the group.
Bai You guessed that this should be the project that Meng Qingyan had mentioned to him before, which was more suitable for Qiu Wan.
[It’s a bit strange though, I received an audition invitation for the female lead role, so my hope may not be great. 】Qiu Wan added later.
The name of the movie is "Wild Goose Dance", a spy film. The director is also a well-known domestic director, and the cast and production team are first-class.
For an actress like Qiu Wan who has no background and has just squeezed into the third-tier, it is indeed a hard-to-reach pie.
But Bai You knew that she had a great chance of success.
Bai You didn't mention it because he was worried that Qiu Wan would feel more psychological pressure after knowing the truth, or that she would feel disappointed if she lost the election.
[Give it a try, it’s never wrong.] 】He said.
[The heroine is our undercover agent, but her public identity is a well-known socialite. This is all the information I have now. I guess I will pick a clip to improvise at that time. I am not worried about anything else. But since the other party is a socialite, the requirements for the actor's appearance and figure must be very high. 】Qiu Wan analyzed.
[Don’t you know how beautiful you are? 】He Yuan asked in surprise.
Qiu Wan is actually very beautiful, not inferior to any of the popular young actresses.
It was because she met He Dajin when she just debuted that she resolutely gave up the traffic route that the company had planned for her over the years.
Acting ugly, gaining weight, the most difficult and toughest fighting scenes...
As long as the book was good, she would take it. Relying on her tenacity and hard work, she climbed up step by step.
So on the screen, her image is mostly plain and unpretentious.
In private, she is very low-key and stays at home when she is not filming.
So much so that over the years, many people have underestimated her beauty.
[Since the film company has sent you an invitation, they must be very satisfied with you in every aspect. Just go for it boldly. 】After finishing a shoot, Bai You also replied.
[Okay.] 】Qiu Wan said.
Three days later, Qiu Wan went for the audition.
But after that day, until late June, the crew did not give any more news.
Qiu Wan was already prepared to be the runner-up, and when there was no news for half a month, she put the matter aside and began to prepare for the subsequent engagement.
At the end of June, the weather was getting hotter day by day.
Since the last kiss mark incident, Bai You left the crew for the first time and took a flight to City A to film a supporting role in the movie "The Inn".
It takes more than two hours to fly from Beijing to City A.
But during these two hours, Qiu Wan received good news from the crew.
Bai You was overjoyed, and He Yuan happened to be free recently, so the three of them agreed to celebrate together after they returned.
Half a year has passed since I first met Wang Junteng at "Yi Ge" in late winter last year.
The Inn is about to be completed, and Building No. 8 has already been filmed for the most part. Times have changed, and although not much time has passed, many things are no longer the same.
Given the influence of Building No. 8 and Bai You’s continued surge in popularity after several recent incidents, the crew of Ni Lu was very committed to keeping their promise.
For the first time, Bai You did not have to accommodate the schedule of other leading actors. It took him only three days instead of a week or a month to complete the filming of all his scenes.
The team had approved five days of leave before, and after counting them back and forth, there was exactly one day left for rest.
He landed that afternoon, and He Yuan drove with Qiu Wan to pick him up.
"Where are we going to eat?" Seeing him get in the car, He Yuan joked, "Are we going to Tianfu again?"
"The coupon has expired long ago," Qiu Wan said, "We took advantage of it just once, but we were still taken advantage of. Don't you think it's unfair?"
"It's my treat today," Bai You said happily, "Let's go to Intercontinental?"
"Is it possible to get an appointment in the InterContinental private room?" He Yuan said, "Are you not afraid of being photographed if you sit in the lobby?"
"There are three of us today, so it's no problem even if we take the photo." Bai You smiled.
"How can it be your turn to treat me to a good day?" Qiu Wan retorted, "It's InterContinental, I'll treat you."
She fished out her phone and said, "Lao Jiao often asks clients to give him gifts. He has a private room at the InterContinental all year round. I'll borrow it for us to use."
She said happily, "No need to sit in the lobby."
"Then I'll be polite." He Yuan said, setting the navigation, and muttered, "You said that both of you got the pie that fell from the sky, so it should be my turn next, right?"
As the three of them drove out of the underground garage, chatting and laughing, the western sky was already dyed with a fiery sunset glow.
"Youyou," Qiu Wan asked, "Have you almost finished taking photos of Building No. 8?"
"There are still about one or two months of filming left." Bai You said.
A play always has to end, Bai You understands this, but when he thinks about it now, he still feels reluctant.
"Is it time to decide on the next book?" He Yuan asked, "I heard that many people have offered you olive branches."
Jiang Minyao also raised this issue a few days ago, and planned to send him several scripts that had been screened, so that he could take some time to read them and choose one.
"I haven't made up my mind yet." Since there were no outsiders in the car, Bai You said frankly, "The contract with Xingyu is about to expire. Or maybe, I'll see after it expires."
"It's better not to accept it, so as to avoid the same situation as before, where you worked hard to shoot a scene, but ended up becoming a bargaining chip for others to manipulate you," Qiu Wan said. "With Building No. 8 as a backup, it's safer this time. I should think about which company is more realistic to sign with later."
Several of them had come out of this through wind and rain, and after a while they talked to each other, the car soon stopped in front of the Intercontinental gate.
The parking attendant came over and took He Yuan's car keys, and someone else took a few people in.
Qiu Wan reported Jiao Qian's reserved box, and a waiter led them to the east elevator room.
The elevator went up and stopped at the twelfth floor.
He Yuanzheng said: "Have you ever considered going to Tianying? Tianying's development in the past few years is like riding a rocket. It just so happens that you are filming with Meng Qingyan, so you just need to hug his thighs."
Before he finished speaking, the elevator door opposite opened and Meng Qingyan appeared in the elevator.
He Yuan immediately shut up and became reserved.
Meng Qingyan was dressed in formal attire. He looked very handsome, but also cold and solemn.
He gentlemanly accompanied the lady beside him down the stairs. When he saw Bai You and the others stepped back, he suddenly stopped.
"Teacher Bai," he suddenly looked at Bai You, and called the beautiful lady who had already walked two steps away, "Mom, I want to introduce a friend to you."
