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

Chapter 483 Uncle Police, There's a Pervert Here

Blue Island, Fantawild Park.

Although the National Day is still two days away, there are still quite a few visitors to the amusement park, mostly parents with their children, and occasionally some couples or friends.

Unlike the past, a corner of the edge of the playground was cordoned off today since the morning. Inside the cordon, there were 20 to 30 young men and women in various outfits, as well as staff with various filming equipment.

"Hello, excuse me, are you Zhao Jinmai?"

At the sidelines of the crew, Zhao Jinmai, who had just finished a scene, was about to take a sip of water and take a break when she suddenly saw a few girls in cosplay costumes, about her age, coming over and asking with a bit of embarrassment.

"Hello." Zhao Jinmai quickly swallowed the water in her mouth, smiled and nodded at them, "Yes, I'm Zhao Jinmai."

"See, I said yes!"

"Really!"

"Wow! Sister Jinmai is so pretty!"

"I should have thought of it. Isn't this dress designed to look like Balala the Fairies?"

"..."

When a few girls heard that she was indeed the real person, they exclaimed a little and then started talking at once.

Zhao Jinmai maintained a sweet smile, except when she heard about her cosplay look, her expression paused for a moment.

According to the plot of "The Beginning", the hero and heroine "fled" in this reincarnation because they accidentally injured someone. With the help of their new friend "Lu Cat's Apostle, Asthma Conqueror, Human Flute Chosen by Light", they came to the "secret base" located in the amusement park.

There happened to be a comic convention here on the day of the story, and the two escaped the police's "pursuit" by changing their costumes and joining the messy crowd of cosplayers.

Because of the plot requirements, the male and female protagonists each changed into a set of cosplay costumes.

Before filming, Zhao Jinmai was still thinking about which cosplay style would be best. But when she arrived at the set, she found that the crew had already prepared a special costume for her.

A blue and white gradient wig paired with bright green clothes instantly brought her back to the "Balala the Fairies".

Looking at this outfit, she knew without asking that it was definitely the bad taste of her "producer brother".

When Zhao Jinmai thought of Meng Bai, she couldn't help but pursed her lips, but was immediately interrupted by the voices of several girls in front of her.

"Sister Jinmai, we have liked you since we were little. Can we take a photo together?" asked one of the girls.

"Okay, of course."

Zhao Jinmai did not hesitate and agreed immediately, then posed with several female extras.

Speaking of which, although they were extras recruited temporarily by the crew, due to the needs of the scene, there were still certain requirements for the appearance of these recruited girls.

It cannot be said that all of them are beauties, but they can all be considered pretty.

Zhao Jinmai was still young and her appearance had not grown up yet. But despite this, when she was put together with a group of girls with different styles and outfits, she could still be spotted in the crowd at a glance.

"Thank you, sister Mai Mai!"

After filming for quite a while, the extras happily thanked me and left. Before leaving, they waved and said, "Come on, sister! I hope your drama will be a big hit!"

"Yeah, thank you... huh..."

Watching them walk away, Zhao Jinmai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Today, she has been busy since she woke up in the morning. First, she recorded a video of her playing the piano, which she will post on Weibo as a birthday gift for her fans, and then hurried to the set. Then she celebrated her birthday with the crew and also received fans who came to visit the set.

She had a birthday live broadcast while eating at noon, and started shooting in the afternoon. It was only until just now that she finally had time to catch her breath and rest.

Back in the rest area, Zhao Jinmai slumped down on his small canvas deck chair, took the water his mother handed him, thanked her, and then turned on his phone.

I looked at the time. It was already past four in the afternoon and Brother Meng Bai had not returned to the crew yet. It was very likely that, as he said before, he had something to do and would not be able to come back today.

Although she received birthday wishes at midnight today, and the three-layer dome cake that the crew had prepared in the morning was also prepared by him, the little girl still felt a little disappointed that she didn't see him at her 18th birthday ceremony.

After secretly glancing at Zhao's mother's movements and seeing that she was not paying attention to her, Zhao Jinmai calmly opened WeChat. After thinking for a while, she did not contact Meng Bai directly, but sent a message to Hua Yan.

Zhao Jinmai: [Sister Huahua, aren't you going back to Blue Island today? ]

After sending the message, she waited nervously. Fortunately, she didn't have to wait too long, and the reply came quickly.

Hua Yan: [Yes, the boss has an industry meeting, which will probably end at five or six. It’s so late, I probably won’t go home tonight.]

Hua Yan: [What's going on? Is there something wrong with the crew? ]

Zhao Jinmai: [No, no, I just saw that you didn’t come back, so I suddenly thought of asking. Then you can continue with your work.]

Hua Yan: [Yeah. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that it’s your birthday today. Happy birthday to you! ]

Zhao Jinmai: [Hey, thank you Sister Huahua. ]

Zhao Jinmai: [heart.jpg]

I sent a cheerful emoticon package, and Zhao Jinmai's face fell, revealing a slightly lost expression.

Even though I had guessed this possibility just now, it still made me unhappy to hear it confirmed.

But she also knew that there was nothing she could do about it. It would take at least three hours to fly from Hengshui to Landao, and it would take even longer if she added the check-in time. Moreover, there might not be a suitable flight at that time.

As for taking a car, that was even more impossible. Zhao Jinmai didn't think he had enough face to drive for more than six hours and travel hundreds of kilometers just to show up on a little girl's birthday.

So she talked with Meng Bai for so long last night, but she held back and didn't mention anything about this.

This "sister" of mine is a very obedient one and cannot delay Brother Meng Bai's work.

But I really hope to see him today!
She held her phone and stared at the horizon for a long time. It was not until Wu Bai called the crew to start preparing for the next scene that she came back to her senses and re-entered the filming.
-
Five hundred and thirty-six kilometers away, Hengshui.

"Haha, thank you Mr. Meng for coming to the event today. Thanks to Arclight Films, we, the companies that make web dramas, are not regarded as the bottom of the contempt chain. I will arrange for everyone to have dinner together in the evening. Is it convenient for you?"

At the entrance of the hotel's conference room, a middle-aged man looked at Meng Baidao with a smile.

"Mr. Liu, you are too polite. We at Arc Light are also part of the industry, so it is only natural for us to participate in the event."

Meng Bai smiled and said politely, glanced at the watch on his hand without leaving a trace, shook hands with the other party and said: "No need to eat, the crew is filming recently, I have to rush back. Next time, next time you come to Jingbei, I will be the host to welcome you."

"Tsk, what a pity. But since Mr. Meng is busy, I won't bother you any more. Don't worry, I'll definitely bother you next time I go to Jingbei. Mr. Meng, don't think we are shameless then. We'll just eat and drink for free, hahaha..."

"Mr. Liu, just come. You are welcome anytime."

Seeing the other party leave, the smile on Meng Bai's face faded and he exhaled with a little fatigue.

This afternoon I was busy with interviews and events, and now I'm finally done.

"boss!"

Hua Yan trotted over to him, looked up at him and said with emotion: "It's finally over."

"I'm the one in the meeting, okay? You've been sitting there playing with your phone. Are you tired?" Meng Bai complained.

"It's unfair, boss. Was I playing with my phone? I was dealing with something very important."

"What's the important thing?" "Hey, of course it's what to eat tonight!"

Hua Yan handed over the phone and said, "I know that you don't like to attend dinner parties, so I combined online guides, store exploration videos, and website ratings to summarize these characteristics of Hengshui. You can choose."

Meng Bai glanced at the screen and saw a lot of local specialties written on it: Hengshui Lake fish, lotus-flavored beef brisket and pancakes, casserole-cooked meatballs, and authentic donkey meat hotpot...

I have to say, this is indeed a very important matter.

pity……

"Keep it for now and eat it next time you come." Meng Bai returned the phone and said as he walked, "Let's go get our luggage and return to Blue Island tonight."

"Back to Blue Island?"

Hua Yan blinked dully, and suddenly an idea came to her mind: "Is it because today is Mai Mai's birthday?"

Meng Bai glanced at her and said nothing, but he didn't deny it either, which was tantamount to acquiescing that she was right.

"No way, boss, how old is Mai Mai? Are you willing to do that to her?"

Hua Yan had an expression on her face that said, "Uncle police, there is a pervert here."

"I told you, clean up the yellow waste in your brain." Meng Bai glanced at the little assistant.

"I don't know who is more pornographic..."

Hua Yan was chirping in her heart, but the surprise in her heart was indeed much lessened.

As the boss's most trusted confidant, it can be said that no one knows more secrets than her. From her observation, Mai Mai, the "sister", seems to have some ideas, but the boss, the "brother", should be just a "brother" so far.

Just now I just suddenly thought of it and complained in the heat of the moment.

"But boss, it's just a birthday. Do you need to travel so far back?" Hua Yan whispered, "I've never seen you take my birthday so seriously."

"If you also have an 18-year-old adult ceremony, I can also give you a grand one. Oh, I forgot, you're only 28 next. It doesn't matter, when you turn 30, I can help you have a grand ceremony."

"Hehe, that's not necessary..."

Seeing the assistant smiling with a flattering expression, Meng Bai grinned and continued, "I promised her before that if there is not enough time, it's fine. But now there is still time, so let's go."

"But how are we going to get back? It will take more than six hours to drive, and it will be past midnight by the time we get back. I just checked the flights, and the nearest one is at 10pm, so we won't be able to make it in time."

"If there are no suitable flights, why not check the high-speed rail?"

"There are suitable seats on the high-speed train, but they take three hours. As for the seats on the high-speed train, it's fine for a worker like me, but for a rich man like you... it doesn't suit your taste."

"Then could you scroll down a little bit and take a look at the business class seat?"

"Business...oh!"
-
Blue Island, Fantawild Park.

This season is currently the regular operating period of the park, and the night show stops operating at 9 pm.

The two night scenes of "The Beginning" crew were slightly delayed, so by the time today's shooting was finished, the tourists in the park had already dispersed.

"The crew and the park have agreed to end at 12 o'clock, so everyone can walk around freely for the rest of the time. Some equipment is still running, so you can go and play if you like."

The on-site producer of the crew took a loud speaker and shouted to the leading actors and staff present.

"Great! Thanks, boss!"

The crew suddenly cheered.

You know, the crew is a money-eating beast. Once it is running, it costs a lot every day. So in most cases, we have to get off work non-stop. Not to mention taking a break, it is a luxury to get off work before the early hours of the morning every night.

However, today's venue is special, and it is not convenient to move to another location at this late hour, so Meng Bai had previously told the production team to simply finish work early. If you like to play, you can stay and play for a while, just as a break for everyone.

"This is arranged by our CEO Meng. If you want to thank someone, thank him." The on-site producer said loudly, "The production team and the fleet will wait here until twelve o'clock. If you have any questions, please contact us. Any place with light in the park is still in operation. Don't go to a place with lights off. Okay, dismissed."

The crew dispersed in twos and threes, so there was no need to worry about getting lost. Most of the park was closed, and only the facilities in this half of the area were still operating. Unless someone insisted on going into the dark, there were places to play nearby.

Zhao Jinmai strolled around with the assistant and the makeup artist girl of the crew with great interest, and also tried out some equipment such as the spinning cup and double-decker carousel.

"What a pity, it's too late. The roller coasters, windmills and other rides have all stopped." Several girls said with some regret.

"It's okay. Let's play together again after the filming is finished!" Zhao Jinmai encouraged everyone, "I'll treat you!"

When the girls heard this, their eyes lit up and they surrounded her happily.

"The staff of the park just said that the Ferris wheel over there is not closed yet, and they can open another one for us. Anyone who wants to ride it can sign up and we can go together." A staff member from the production team ran over and greeted everyone.

Not to mention, there are quite a lot of people interested in the Ferris wheel. After all, it is the only large facility still in operation.

Zhao Jinmai was also very interested and was thinking about going there with everyone when he suddenly heard a noise coming from the production crew not far away.

She looked over there curiously, and then her breath suddenly stopped.

Is this an illusion? Why do I seem to see Brother Meng Bai?

She blinked and unconsciously took a few steps toward that direction, and the familiar figure became clearer and clearer.

No, it’s not an illusion, it’s really Brother Meng Bai, he’s back!
But how could it be? Didn't Hua Yan say that their activities today would not end until the evening and they would not be able to come back today?

Could it be because of yourself?

A feeling of ecstasy surged in her heart, but at the same time she couldn't help but feel anxious.

Zhao Jinmai stood there in a daze, not even noticing when Meng Bai walked up to him.

Meng Bai looked at the little girl who was standing still and her soul was wandering in the sky. Her fair skin looked like crystal porcelain under the night light, her big eyes were sparkling, and she looked like a silly little white rabbit.

"What are you looking at?"

The sudden sound woke Zhao Jinmai up. When she came to her senses, she found that Meng Bai was standing in front of her, looking at her curiously.

The little girl blushed and said awkwardly, "No, nothing, I just got distracted. By the way, Brother Meng Bai, weren't you in Hengshui? Why did you come back so suddenly?"

"There's nothing interesting over there, and I just happened to have a suitable ticket, so I came back."

"Oh, that's how it is……"

Seeing the inexplicable expression on her face, Meng Bai smiled and changed the subject: "How was it, did you have fun?"

"Yes!" Zhao Jinmai nodded vigorously. "They said that the time is a bit short today and many large equipment are shut down. We plan to come back after the filming is finished."

"That's not bad either... Well, it should be their annual 'Fantasy Fairy Night', and you guys will be able to catch it."

"Fantasy Night? What is that?"

"You'll have to ask the people at the amusement park. I don't know much about it." Meng Bai said with a smile, "I was already in college when this place opened, so I haven't been here very often."

"That's right." Zhao Jinmai's eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother Meng Bai, we are going to ride the Ferris wheel, you can come too!"
