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

Chapter 535 Your smile is cute

It was almost two o'clock when Meng Bai finally had this "specially customized" lunch.

Not to mention, although Bailu learned how to cook by watching videos, some of the dishes looked pretty good. As for the taste… it was just so-so, but not inedible.

"Not bad, not bad. You are still very talented." Meng Bai praised: "It seems that the food drama we made before was not filmed in vain."

This girl had previously filmed a drama called "I Like You", in which the heroine was a chef of a star-rated hotel with superb cooking skills. Although the actual cooking process mainly depended on the crew, she had more or less practiced and was not unfamiliar with pots and pans.

"Oh, it's just so-so." Bai Lu suppressed her inner pride, "It's mainly because you have so many things here, boss. I can completely copy them from those food bloggers."

Having said that, she only ate a little of each dish before putting down her chopsticks.

"Why, you can't eat what you made?"

"No, I'm going to join the crew soon. It's a costume drama and the requirements for body shape are quite high, so I've been controlling my diet." Bai Lu pursed her lips and said pitifully.

Meng Bai pointed at the dishes on the table and said, "No, you only have the vegetables and steak. The biggest carbohydrate is the dressing in the salad. Is there anything you need to control?"

Bai Lu blinked and thought for a moment: "That's right."

"Besides, there is no energy table on the food packaging. As the saying goes, if there is no label, it means zero calories. Just eat it without worry."

"Well, you are indeed smart, Boss..."

They ate and talked, and the meal took nearly half an hour to finish. Bai Lu wanted to clean up the table, but Meng Bai stopped her and told her to leave it there, and the manor's housekeeper would come to clean it up tomorrow.

The two of them sat down on the beach chairs by the swimming pool to rest, and Meng Bai casually asked about her next drama.

"The name of the drama is "The Long Moon Embers", it's a fairy tale drama, produced by Youku."

Bai Lu gave a brief introduction to the plot. In fact, it is not much different from other fairy tale dramas in recent years. The hero and heroine are reincarnated and change their identities, abuse each other, and in the end one of them dies, leaving the other to remember him.

All I can say is that after so many years, the fantasy drama is still following the same plot formula of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" from ten years ago, without any novelty at all.

"It sounds like a bad ending?" Meng Bai asked.

"I haven't got the complete script yet, so I'm not sure. But this kind of sad drama is quite popular now, so there should be a ending." Bai Lu looked over, "Boss, your tone seems to indicate that you don't like the ending?"

"I really don't like it. I usually only watch stories about happy reunions and people making dumplings together."

"No way, boss, many of the scripts you wrote before were bad."

Not to mention the distant past, just the ones she has acted in include "Psychological Crime" and "Soul Ferry: Huangquan", where the protagonists' ashes were scattered.

"That's different." Meng Bai said leisurely: "The script I wrote is for others to read, not for myself, so it doesn't matter if the ending is a little sad."

"Haha, Boss, you...can do it!"

Bai Lu muttered to herself, it turns out that you creators all like to leave sadness to the audience!
"By the way, I don't know if the company has told you that the movie 'Police Honor' that we filmed last year has also been scheduled for release."

"Really? Which TV station and what time?"

"CCTV, it should be broadcast in May."

"CCTV!" Bai Lu's eyes lit up instantly.

Although this is not her first TV series to be broadcast on satellite TV, the nature of CCTV and other local satellite TV stations is different.

Especially the subject matter of the drama "Police Honor" is more inclined towards serious drama. If the results are recognized, it means that she can slowly transition to the serious drama circle.

Bai Lu was born in 94, so strictly speaking she is considered a "90 flower". However, because she debuted and became famous later, the fans are used to discussing her together with the "95 flowers".

She is 27 or 28 years old this year, and will soon be 30. With seniors monopolizing resources above her and young actresses coming up aggressively below her, she can't keep shooting ancient idol dramas and romances. Sooner or later, she will have to transform into a serious drama circle.

If you can achieve good results during your rising period, the road ahead will be much smoother.

"Boss, you've seen the finished film, right? What do you think of my acting?" Bai Lu looked at him eagerly.

As the representative of the production company and the chief screenwriter, Meng Bai naturally watched the show in advance after it was finished. Recalling the girl's performance in the play, he nodded: "It's OK, the lines are a little bit worse, but the overall performance is quite natural."

Hearing this, Bai Lu breathed a sigh of relief. Having worked with her on a production crew before, she knew that her boss's requirements were always quite high. It was already a pretty good compliment for him to say "it was quite natural".

Of course, she immediately praised back: "It's mainly because your script is well written, the character settings and the story are similar to the real police station, and it feels very real."

"We have found so many real cases to draw materials from, so it must be true." The program "Protecting Blue Mountain West" has been released to its third season this year. After recording more than 30 episodes, it has accumulated hundreds of various bizarre real case prototypes.

With such a "treasure" in hand, the filming of "Police Honor" could not be more realistic.

"The character setting in the script is one aspect, but it's also mainly related to your image."

Meng Bai said, raising his hand and lightly pressing on the other person's face: "Your facial lines are relatively tough and strong, which is very suitable for this kind of police or female general role."

As he spoke, his fingers slid down along the bony ridges of the girl's cheek. His fingertips felt so tender and smooth, as if he was touching fine porcelain.

Bai Lu's face was flushed, and she felt a stream of heat seeping into her skin along the places where the boss slid past, making her heart beat faster.

She felt as if her mouth was a little dry, and subconsciously she stuck out her tongue to lick her dry lips.

But she had a little forgotten her current situation, and in the other person's eyes, this action seemed like she was actively inviting the other person to taste it.

Meng Bai naturally would not miss the "invitation". He leaned forward and slowly moved over.

Perhaps she was looking forward to the next interaction, Bai Lu habitually wanted to smile. But halfway through her smile, she suddenly remembered that this expression was too damaging to her image, so she quickly pursed her lips to hide her two rows of white teeth, and then deliberately smiled with her eyes curved.

"You don't have to smile like that on purpose."

Meng Bai came up to her and said softly, "Remember what I said before? There's no need to imitate others. Your own smile is cute enough."

Bai Lu's expression paused, but the next second she felt a strange warm current surging from her heart and rushing straight to her mind.

"boss……"

She looked at Meng Bai who was so close to her with lustful eyes. She could no longer control her emotions and took the initiative to lean forward.

Spring is in the air.

For an experienced sea king like Meng Bai, it was impossible for him to be so honest, and he did not delay his actions at all.

After a long time, until Bai Lu felt difficulty breathing, Meng Bai finally let go of her hand.

"call--"

Bai Lu took a deep breath, looked down with hot cheeks, and saw that her already "tight" skirt seemed even tighter now.

Meng Bai looked at the rosy-skinned girl in front of him and felt that she was as cute as a delicate little cake.

But he didn't intend to simply eat the "little cake" like that.

"Can you swim?" he asked.

Bai Lu's thoughts were a little confused at the moment, and after a while she said, "Uh, not really."

"It's okay, I'll teach you."

"what……"

Bai Lu blinked her eyes. She understood that this "swimming" was definitely not as simple as "swimming", but this was exactly what she wanted.

There were extra swimsuits prepared in the villa. After she went in and changed, she came out shyly wrapped in a bath towel.

Back to the swimming pool, she saw Meng Bai looking at her. After taking a deep breath, she mustered up the courage to take off the bath towel, revealing a black two-piece swimsuit.

“It’s pretty good.”

Meng Bai smiled and praised her, then jumped into the water and waved at her: "Come down and try it."

Bai Lu walked over and sat by the swimming pool. She first stretched out her little feet to test the water temperature and found it was quite warm. Then she slid into the water.

"Come, I'll help you."

Meng Bai held her hand and slowly guided the girl to swim forward, but the position of his hand gradually moved closer to the sensitive area.

Then, he carried Bai Lu to the edge of the swimming pool and picked her up in the water.

Ripples appeared on the water surface and then dissipated.
