Entertainment: I just want to be the boss behind the scenes

Chapter 141 "Mysterious Screenwriter" Teacher Meng
As Meng's father and mother went out, Meng Bai was left alone and had to spend the Spring Festival "lonely".

However, he was not able to stay at home for a few days. Just after the Spring Festival holiday, the "Soul Ferry" member audience meeting will begin.

Following the update speed of four episodes a week, "Soul Ferry 2" finally completed the finale before the Spring Festival.

In the final battle, the soul of Chi You in the male protagonist was taken away by the "God of Mount Tai", the villain's witch also died, and Zhao Li's soul re-located in the male protagonist, waiting for a chance to be resurrected.

In general, the holes that needed to be filled in the main storyline have basically been filled, and it is a satisfactory ending.

The audience who have been following the series gave it high praise, because the content of the two seasons was compressed together, so the pace was more brisk. The final score of 8.9 was 0.2 higher than the first season.

As for the number of views, with the end of the broadcast period, the final data was fixed at 12.6 billion, making it the first self-produced web drama to have over billion views.

At the end of February, Beijing North Convention and Exhibition Center.

The hall, which can accommodate more than 2,000 people, was packed with people today.

Most of the audience were young people, many of whom held up light boards and banners.

"Sister, did you also get a spot?"

"No, I paid extra to buy the ticket from someone else online."

"Wow, what a rich lady! I saw this ticket was sold for over 300 yuan before."

"What do you mean three hundred? The lowest price now is five hundred!"

"No way, it's just a meet-and-greet, why is it so expensive?"

"Didn't you read the introduction on the official Weibo account? All the accounts that are selected will receive an official gift box. It includes a collector's edition setting book, autographed photos and figures of the leading actors, and many peripheral products. Those who are not present will also receive them by mail according to their addresses. So now many people are not only buying tickets, but also the official gift box."

"I see. So thinking about it this way, five hundred dollars is quite a bargain. After all, just one collection of settings costs less than a hundred dollars."

"Well, money is a small matter. The most important thing is that I can go on stage and take photos with the leading actors at the end of the fan meeting. Um - I want to be close to Sister Qinqin!"

"Haha, just kidding, Qinbao is mine, and only with me!"

"Draw your sword, sister!"

"..."

The audience gathered in groups of three or five, chatting and waiting for the meeting to begin.

"Tsk."

Next to the backstage curtain, Zhang Ruoyun looked at the crowded auditorium outside and sighed, "It feels like there are about 2,000 people here today, right?"

"How can there be so many?" Meng Bai said, "The total number of places for the lottery is 2,000, but excluding those who were unable to come due to inconvenience or other reasons, there are only about 1,000 people who actually showed up."

Although today is the weekend, not everyone has time to attend the event.

Especially for audiences outside northern Beijing, although Leshi.com and Arclight Films promised to reimburse the round-trip fare, meals and accommodation will still cost at least a thousand yuan.

Therefore, the number of people who actually showed up today was only about 60% to 70% at most.

But even so, it is quite spectacular at first glance.

The two were chatting when they suddenly heard a burst of exclamations from behind. Meng Bai turned his head and his eyes suddenly lit up.

As one of the leading actors, Li Qin also came. However, unlike her usual attire, she changed into a plain white embroidered costume with wide sleeves hanging on both sides, which added a touch of elegance to her already cool temperament.

Although she doesn't have her face painted or her hair tied up, anyone who sees her would have to admit that she is a graceful and elegant classical beauty!

As a popular actor, it is common for her to attract attention. Therefore, in response to the praise from the backstage staff and crew colleagues, Li Qin just responded with a generous smile.

It was not until she saw Meng Bai looking at her that she felt a little uncomfortable.

Gently gathering her sleeves, she walked to Meng Bai's side. Seeing that he was still staring at her, Li Qin was delighted, but she remained calm and asked, "Does it look good?"

"What you said is true. When has Teacher Li not looked good?" Meng Bai said with a smile.

Although she knew that this guy was teasing her, Li Qin couldn't help laughing. "Are you ready?" Meng Bai looked at her and asked.

Li Qin nodded: "I have made some special preparations during this period, there will be no problem on the scene."

Of course, a meeting with the audience is not just a simple meeting. The crew and the leading actors always have to prepare some programs.

As the most popular song in the second season, "Chi Ling" is definitely indispensable, which is why Li Qin changed her clothes today.

"I heard you're filming a TV series recently?"

"Yes, it's a spy drama that I'm working on with Noon Sunshine. I'm the screenwriter." Meng Bai said, "I mainly want to learn from the production experience of their mature crew."

Li Qin's eyes moved, and she looked at Meng Bai and said, "Does Arclight Films also plan to enter the TV drama market in the future?"

Meng Bai shook his head: "Probably not in the short term. At least until the online drama market has gained a firm foothold, online dramas will be the main focus."

"Is that so..." A hint of disappointment flashed across Li Qin's eyes.

"what happened?"

"fine."

Li Qin shook her head and put on a smile again. Seeing that the time was almost up, she took a deep breath and said, "It's about to start. I'll go get ready."

She is the opening act for today.

"Come on!" Meng Bai raised his fist to cheer her up.

As a graduate of a formal school, Li Qin's singing and performance were naturally no problem at all. After the song and opera performance, the applause and cheers from the audience were continuous, and the whole venue instantly became more lively.

Today's host is a female anchor named Zhang Rui from Leshi.com. She used to work at Leshi Sports. She is a young lady with a slim waist and long legs.

Li Qin, Zhang Ruoyun, Yu Yi and more than 500 people went on stage one after another, and in the end only Meng Bai was left on stage.

"Since the launch of the Soul Ferry series, we have received hundreds of thousands of messages and comments from viewers. One of the most common phrases is 'The screenwriter is amazing.' But before this, everyone has had little chance to get to know our screenwriter."

The hostess was interrupted by the audience before she finished her words.

"Meng Bai!"

"Send a razor blade! Send a razor blade!"

"Give me back my great official!"

"..."

Various voices came one after another, no less powerful than those of the leading actors who had appeared before.

There's no way around it. Many of the people present today are old viewers who have followed the first film. They have all witnessed how under-budgeted, how simple the props were, and how crude the scenes were in "Soul Ferry".

So they all know that the reason why this drama was able to stand out from all the big-budget, big-star TV dramas and carve out a new online drama market was more than 80% due to its excellent script.

With the broadcast of the second season, the units "Chi Ling", "Old Things" and the later "Vega" have brought the structure of the entire series to an extremely high position.

Many viewers even left messages directly after the finale, saying that "Soul Ferry" is the ceiling of current online dramas.

For this reason, many viewers are extremely curious about the screenwriter of this drama, "Meng Bai".

Unfortunately, "Meng Bai Da Da" who is behind the scenes rarely shows up, and many viewers only hear some hearsay news.

If it were any other work, people might not be so curious about a screenwriter. But Soul Ferry is a suspenseful supernatural drama. This "mysterious" style, which matches the style of the whole drama, attracted a lot of discussion from the audience and even gave rise to many "rumors".

And today, they can finally see a "real, living" Meng Bai, so they are naturally very excited.

Although she was a sports anchor before, Zhang Rui still had a lot of experience. When the noise died down a little, she continued, "The next person to appear is the 'screenwriter' that everyone has been thinking about for a long time, Mr. Meng Bai!"
