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

Chapter 266 I want it all
In the next few days, Meng Bai deeply experienced what it meant to be "a land of beauties and a tomb of heroes."

Staying in his own little yard, he had his own world and didn't want to go out at all.

He didn't even pay much attention to the launch of "The Lost Tomb".

Of course, it is also because he has enough confidence in this drama.

In the end, if Li Qin hadn't said that she was about to join the crew and had to go back to prepare, she would probably have stayed until next month.

"Do you have to join the group so early?"

Meng Bai hugged her from behind: "Your role is the second female lead anyway, so it doesn't matter if you go two days later."

"I have to go to the opening ceremony, and my role this time is quite large, so I have to prepare a lot."

Li Qin felt the warmth beside her ears and spoke in a gentle yet firm tone.

She still attaches great importance to this "Princess Agents".

Ancient costume dramas have been popular in recent years, and the female lead is Zhao Liying, a top-tier actress born in 85. The performance of this drama is sure to be good.

Moreover, this role is highly compatible with her image, and she also wants to take this opportunity to see if she can make another move up.

Although I am a rather calm person, once I get into this field, who wouldn't want to move up a few more steps?

"By the way, how long will it take for your contract to expire?" Meng Bai thought of another thing.

"Well... about a year and a half." Li Qin calculated the time, "About the middle of 2018."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at the other person: "Why, Teacher Meng, it's not enough to ask for the person, are you planning to keep the money as well?"

"I am a greedy person. I want to get everything I like."

Meng Bai whispered in her ear: "Don't talk about people and money, even if it's Teacher Li's heart, I have to stay."

Li Qin's face turned red, but she couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart.

She had not expected to stay so long this time, so she did not bring much with her. Even the clothes she needed to change into were bought on the spur of the moment.

Seeing the girl planning to put away her clothes, Meng Bai said, "Forget it, just leave them here. This way it will be convenient for you to come next time."

"Oh, Teacher Meng is not afraid of taking other girls home. Are you angry again after seeing these?"

Li Qin said in a teasing tone, but her eyes were fixed on the other person.

"What nonsense are you talking about? There will be no other girls coming here except you." Meng Bai said without hesitation.

Looking at the other person's natural expression, Li Qin smiled with satisfaction.

"Huh, didn't Yi Xin and the others come here a few days ago?"

"Hey! Are you trying to argue with me? Ah, are you trying to argue with me?"

"Ah, I was wrong, I was wrong... Well, stop it, I really have to leave today."

When they arrived at the door, the young assistant Jia Jia was already waiting outside with the driver.

Because she was delayed by Meng Bai, Li Qin had no time to go home and had to go directly to the crew.

"I'm leaving."

"Be careful on the road."

Li Qin took two steps outside, then suddenly turned back and hugged Meng Bai.

Meng Bai cooperated by raising his hand and holding the other person's shoulders.

After a while, Li Qin finally calmed down. She stood up straight and said with a smile, "I'm really leaving this time."

After saying that, she quickly walked into the car and waved.

Seeing that his view was blocked by the courtyard wall, Li Qin finally withdrew his gaze.

"Sister Qinqin." Jia Jia called her from the side.

"What's wrong?" "I haven't seen you for a few days. You seem to be much more beautiful."

"Where is it?"

"Really." Jia Jia looked at her and said, "It's not just that she's beautiful, it just feels like... there's something extra."

Li Qin lowered her eyebrows and smiled. She knew what the assistant meant.

The girl becomes a young woman, and after a few days of nourishment, she naturally has a more graceful temperament that she didn't have before.

This time I will be in the group for about three months, and it will be the end of the year by then.

That guy said before that he wanted to visit the set, but I don’t know if he can remember it.

Humph, if he can't remember, then he's doomed!

After seeing Li Qin off, Meng Bai finally returned to his normal working state.

Back to Arc Light, he first called Liu Zhi over and asked him about the premiere of "The Lost Tomb".

"The number of views in the first 24 hours exceeded 2 million, and the number of views in the first week was 5.6 million. The third and fourth episodes were also aired this week, and the total number of views so far is 9.8 million."

Liu Zhi looked at the information in his hand and said, "The average playback volume of Yunhe V7 episodes is 1220 million, and the influence of Guduo online drama is 9200. It is currently ranked first in the real-time popularity of the entire network..."

Listening to the data reports one by one, Meng Bai nodded.

Although he said before that he was confident about the results, he was not finally relieved until he heard the data.

"What about the ratings?" Meng Bai asked, "What do the audience think?"

"very good!"

When talking about the reputation of the project, Liu Zhi suddenly became more excited: "Douban's score is 8.4, and most of the reviews online are positive. Brother Meng, I took a look, and ours is basically the highest-rated one among all tomb-raiding works."

Hearing the score "8.4", even Meng Bai couldn't help but get excited.

For a remake of a classic IP, this evaluation is quite high.

To be honest, as two major IPs with the same "tomb robbing theme", the fans of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" are much happier than those of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles".

So far, both IPs have produced three works.

Needless to say, the online drama and movie of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" are worse than each other.

The recently launched "The Lost Tomb" has a much higher quality.

But firstly, it is a prequel after all, and secondly, as the number of episodes aired increases, it gradually shows a trend of starting high and ending low.

On the other hand, although "Ghost Blows Out the Light" was also dragged down by "Nine-story Demon Tower", fortunately "Mojin: The Lost Tomb" made a comeback.

It is precisely because of the successful case of the movie version, and the fact that the producer of this web drama is Arclight Pictures, that the audience and fans have higher expectations for this big production that cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

In fact, before the broadcast of "The Lost Tomb: The Mystical City" began, many book fans had some questions about the casting.

Although Pan Yueming was very popular in the past, he has become out of fashion in recent years.

When "Detective Chinatown" was released, quite a number of viewers did not recognize that he was the one playing the "perverted stepfather" until the entire movie was finished.

As a drama actor, even fewer people know Chen Minghao.

Among the three, only Ni Ni is considered a popular actor, but her status is also awkward.

Especially since her previous role as "Mo Yu" left such a deep impression on the audience, many people couldn't imagine what the effect would be if she played "Shirley Yang".

However, some viewers consoled themselves by thinking that since two of the three leading actors are not famous, their pay should be quite low.

With such a huge investment, the salary accounts for a small proportion, so the filming and production should be more sophisticated.

It was with this expectation that many book fans waited for the show to start and watched the first episode of "The Lost Tomb" as soon as possible.

After watching it, the drama became a hot topic that night.

However, the first focus was not on the two male protagonists, but on director Li Muge and his landscape shots that looked like a "National Geographic Channel documentary."

　Thanks to "天下虽大" and other big guys for the rewards!
