Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Being touched by Meng Qingyan that night...
That night, Jiang Minyao took Bai You to celebrate. They had a good meal at a nearby Cantonese restaurant and were both very satisfied.
After returning home to take a shower and change into warm and soft pajamas, Bai You curled up on the sofa and called his mother.
Signing a contract with Building No. 8 was no small matter for him.
Things were urgent before, and he was worried that something might happen in the middle, so he hadn't told his family yet.
Now that the contract has been signed and the script is in my hands, I will officially announce it tomorrow...
Bai You also felt truly relaxed and at ease.
Bai Xiuxi has never been to school, can't recognize many words, and has only a vague understanding of the entertainment industry.
But because of Jin Baobao, she recognized Meng Qingyan.
Although she didn't know how valuable Building No. 8 was, when she heard that Meng Qingyan would also be starring in it, she instinctively felt that this should be a good work.
"Is Meng Qingyan so good?" Bai You asked unconvinced.
"The young master likes it." Bai Xiuxi smiled and said, "You must get along well with others."
The mother and son talked for a few minutes, and then Bai Xiuxi handed the phone to Jin Baobao.
During the phone call, Bai Xiuxi had already informed Jin Baobao about Bai You's contract signing. Almost immediately, Bai You heard Jin Baobao's surprised call from the other end of the phone.
Bai You held the phone further away, and waited until he finished calling before putting it back to his ear with a smile.
"I told you that you can do it," Jin Baobao said, "other people's looks are simply not worthy of my Yanyan, uh~"
There was a strange sound coming from the other side. Bai You guessed that Jin Baobao must have raised his hand to cover his mouth in a hurry and accidentally touched something.
"Are you all right?" he asked.
"It's okay, it's okay," Jin Baobao hurriedly changed the subject and asked him, "What's the male number?"
If the movie has a male and female protagonist, then he and Meng Qingyan would definitely be the No. 1 male and No. 1 female.
But if there are two male protagonists, probably no one would dare to stand shoulder to shoulder with Meng Qingyan.
So when finalizing the contract, Jiang Minyao and Zhu Zhijun took the initiative to propose that Bai You be placed in the second male lead position.
Bai You had no objection to this.
Even though he didn't want to lose to Meng Qingyan in everything, he knew in his heart that he had been silent for too long.
Nowadays, even starring in Building No. 8 will most likely be controversial. If there is no transition, it can be said that it is a complete lack of self-awareness to directly star on the same stage with Meng Qingyan, which will only backfire.
One must eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. Compared to those false reputations, Bai You values opportunities more.
A chance to see good movies.
An opportunity to escape from the control of Feng Yu and others.
"The second male lead." Bai You said with a smile.
"Then can I visit the set then?" Jin Baobao asked excitedly.
Hearing this, Bai You was silent.
In the afternoon at the company, he had already read about one-third of the script.
Indeed, Building No. 8 continues Xu Zhiyun's consistent style, which is bold, hot and extremely stimulating.
It was also at that time that he realized that the sentence Meng Qingyan asked him during the audition was one of Meng Qingyan's lines in the script.
"Shen Nian," the boy asked, "what do you think about 'sex'?"
Shen Nian was arrogant and proud, and would not give in even if he was pressed step by step.
He sneered, "Have you grown all your hair yet? You want to talk about sex?"
“It’s not a conversation, it’s an interest.” The young man looked at Shen Nian aggressively, as if he had stripped him naked with his eyes.
"Brother," he smiled wickedly, "The first time I became interested in sex was when I saw you."
The conflicts in the script are very compact and the plots are closely linked.
Every love scene happens naturally and smoothly.
When reading the book, Bai You was completely attracted and immersed in it, and did not find it awkward at all.
But now, facing Jin Baobao, the words "Not suitable for children" unconsciously popped up in his mind.
"No," Bai You refused, "I'll be distracted if you're here."
"Oh," Jin Baobao said regretfully, but still obeyed, "It's fine if I don't look at it. I'll go with Aunt Bai to bring you food later."
Bai You smiled.
"I will probably have to cooperate with the crew for the official announcement tomorrow morning, and I will go home later in the afternoon," he said.
"Okay then," Jin Baobao smiled, "Aunt Bai and I will go shopping for groceries tomorrow."
Bai You felt touched and couldn't help laughing.
"Okay," he said and hung up.
At this moment, the soft cover script was placed on his lap. In the warm light of the wall lamp, Bai You lowered his eyes and opened it.
The first rough reading is mainly used to understand the story, characters, and important nodes of the story.
So the reading speed will generally be faster.
Bai You turned the pages one by one, his emotions and attention slowly drawn to the story, until he turned to the last page and leaned over to get paper and pen, only to find that it was already past one in the morning.
He had important things to do tomorrow, so he had to reluctantly close the script and go to bed.
Baiyou seldom dreams.
But this night, Shen Nian and Zhong Ling kept appearing in his dreams.
They were entangled with each other in bed, in the corridor, and everywhere.
In the end, they became like him and Meng Qingyan...
The cell phone buzzed, and Bai You was in a daze for a long time before slowly opening his eyes.
I forgot to draw the curtains last night, so now the sun is pouring in and it’s already dawn.
Thinking of the chaotic dream that night, Bai You pulled the corner of the quilt to cover half of his face, and raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows in shame.
He really is...
Were you completely corrupted by Meng Qingyan that night?
The phone vibrated again, this time without pausing.
Bai You picked up the phone and heard Jiang Minyao ask, "Are you still awake?"
"Yeah." Bai You responded, his voice unclear, "What time is it?"
"It's half past eight, Master," Jiang Minyao said speechlessly, "There's only half an hour left until the official announcement at nine o'clock."
He then said, "I just sent you a few official announcements. Take a look and choose the right one."
After hanging up the phone, Bai opened those texts first.
Xingyu Entertainment's copywriting has always been sensational. Bai You read it carefully and then threw it aside.
He got up, washed, prepared breakfast, and retweeted the official announcement of Building No. 8 on Weibo at nine o'clock.
However, the copy was replaced with a minimalist version written by myself:
Hello, Shen Nian.
Hello, Building 8.
Almost at the same time, his usually quiet cell phone finally became busy.
Messages came one after another, blessings, inquiry, envy...
Most of the people on social software are those who surrounded him when he was at the peak of his career, but then turned away when he was suppressed.
It’s quite interesting to say, it was these people who always showed their superiority in front of him and even deliberately belittled him.
Now that he has reappeared, they seem to have forgotten all the shameful things that happened in the past and appear beside him again "warmly and friendly".
Bai You only picked a few friends inside and outside the circle to reply.
For example, Ye Zhiqiu, Li Shaojun, He Yuan, Qiu Wan...
As for other people, he ignored them all and only posted a statement of gratitude on his Moments.
The situation on the Internet is even more lively.
So far, Building No. 8 has been officially announced three times and has reached the top of the popularity list three times.
There is no need to say much about Meng Qingyan's popularity, and both the audience and netizens are very happy.
Fang Zhi realized that it was the concern and regret of countless people, and when he returned to the stage, he was met with almost all positive expectations and emotions.
Only Baiyou...
Shocked, questioning, celebrating, unbelievable, and those who just want to watch the fun...
A collection of different comments, emotions and perspectives.
It was hundreds or thousands of times more lively than the day when Qingye changed his role.
Among them, there is a small group of people who are particularly eye-catching.
They are the CP fans of Bai You and Meng Qingyan.
Both of them are top-notch handsome guys, so naturally there are some fans who secretly pair them up.
But the difference in status and strength between the two is too great, so everyone only dares to talk about it secretly and never dares to bring it to the table.
As soon as Building No. 8 was officially announced today, this group of people immediately found a legitimate reason to ship the couple.
Among them, the netizen with the ID "I will carry the blue and white flag" is the most crazy.
In an instant, the Internet was in chaos, with one person taking the stage after another.
Some people are happy that Bai You finally got top resources again after so many years; some people say that the crew of Building 8 is blind and paid too much attention to appearance and ignored the most important acting skills; some people are going to beat up the fallen dog, Qingye was almost scolded on the hot search again, I wonder how regretful and embarrassed Xue Wenping must be at this moment; some people are crazy about CP, and some people are doing their best to encircle and suppress CP fans...
It's a complete mess.
In just a few seconds, Bai You’s Weibo post went viral and his phone went into a semi-freeze state.
He retreated with difficulty. Although he had been prepared for today's situation, he was still a little dazed by the surging traffic and it took him a long time to recover.
Jiang Minyao called and it was obvious that she was a little overwhelmed by the wealth.
In just such a short period of time, several scripts that were still being prepared came in, all of them named Bai You, and all of them were the male lead.
"And the Inn was afraid that we would break the contract, so they originally wanted us to wait for their notification and coordinate with their starring schedule. Now they have taken the initiative to say that they can coordinate with our schedule," Jiang Minyao said, a little dazed. "This makes me feel that if you want to become famous, it doesn't seem to be particularly difficult."
Some people really are that powerful.
Turn your hand and it becomes clouds; turn your hand back and it becomes rain.
Bai You thought.
"Let's put the script aside for now," he said, adding, "Let the inn rest assured that they won't break the contract."
Although he knew it well, Nilu came to him for traffic and popularity.
However, Bai You still remembers the hand that the other person extended to him when he was at his lowest point.
"I'll listen to you," Jiang Minyao said, "It's a good thing you didn't come today. The company downstairs is surrounded by reporters right now."
"The news just came out," Bai You said, "the peak of the popularity will subside soon."
He held a pen in his hand, intending to read the script carefully from the beginning, but he didn't expect that the popularity on the Internet at this moment was just the beginning, and it would not reach its climax until a while later.
Because Meng Qingyan’s personal account quickly forwarded the official announcement.
However, he did not repost the official Weibo, but directly reposted Bai You’s post.
The accompanying text caused a huge uproar.
He wrote in Zhong Ling's tone:
Finally I've met you, brother.
