Treating guests to dinner

Xu Bai nodded in agreement: "Tang Ning is right, I'm very optimistic about you guys."

These days, he is secretly thankful for his decision during the original audition. Fortunately, he did not choose Li Wenwen to bring in the money to join the cast, otherwise his film would not have gone so smoothly.

If it continues to be made with this quality, this youth romance film may be nominated.

A group of people sat in a private room, and Xu Bai ordered a large table of seafood.

Qin Jia pointed at the king crab and smiled happily: "Director Xu spent a lot of money. I promise to work hard on filming, so I will eat it first as a token of respect!"

"Wow, thank you, Director Xu, I haven't eaten seafood for a long time." Liang Tong couldn't wait to eat.

We have been together for more than a week and are relatively familiar with each other. The dinner table was full of excitement, people were drinking, chatting... The whole box was full of laughter.

Halfway through the meal, Xu Bai drank a little too much. He got up and went to the window in the corridor outside to enjoy the breeze and lit a cigarette.

At this time, a person came out of another private room. He looked familiar to the person standing by the window, so he tentatively called out: "Xu Bai?"

Xu Bai turned around and looked back. He was very happy when he saw that it was his friend for many years. He put out the cigarette butt in his hand and said, "Good guy, are you eating here too?"

"Well, I'm having dinner with a few people from the crew." Fang Yu and Xu Bai have been friends for many years. They are both almost forty years old. He patted his beer belly and said to Xu Bai: "How have you maintained your health over the years?

Don’t you even gain weight in middle age?”

Xu Bai put his arm on his shoulder and said with a smile on his face: "Drink less and exercise more! You are having dinner with the crew, are you also filming here?"

"What a coincidence!"

Fang Yu looked at him and suddenly laughed: "You were filming that youth love movie, right? It's been more than 20 years, can't you let it go?"

"If I could put it down so easily, I wouldn't prepare this work." Xu Bai smiled lightly and lit another cigarette for himself.

The story in Xu Bai's current movie "You Just Like Me Too" is actually his own prototype.

It's just that he was young and full of arrogance at the time, so he couldn't save the dignity to try to save her and apologize.

That's why he missed this girl who had amazed him for most of his life.

In reality, the story could not be fulfilled, so Xu Bai changed the story to a happy ending. Therefore, the character of the male protagonist in the play changed from his previous arrogance to becoming humble and cautious.

The most important thing is that he is willing to listen to advice, which is also the most fundamental reason why the male protagonist can successfully hold hands with the female protagonist.

Both of them finished their cigarettes. After a while, Xu Bai patted him on the shoulder: "Don't talk about me anymore. What's the new drama you're filming? Take a walk, go to my box to have something to eat, and I'll introduce you to my drama."

The protagonists are some outstanding little guys."

"Okay, then I'm welcome."

Fang Yu followed him and walked to Xu Bai's box. He said a little worriedly: "My online drama will be launched soon, but I can't find the most important role in the drama. And I can't find it."

I don’t want to find someone who just pouts and stares.”

"It's easy to say, come to my crew to choose!" Xu Bai said with a very proud face: "Whether you are short of a male lead or a female lead, my crew will never let you down."

He said as he pushed open the door of the box.

Fang Yu's eyes immediately fell on Tang Ning, who didn't speak much. A pair of eyes suddenly flashed with a startling light. He pulled Xu Bai beside him and asked firmly: "That little girl who looks very smart?"

Girl, do you want to borrow it?"

"This is my long-time friend, Fang Yu."

Xu Bai introduced everyone. When he sat down, he rolled his eyes at him and lowered his voice and said, "You have a very sharp eye and picked the best one."

Several actors at the dinner table greeted Fang Yu one after another and briefly introduced themselves.

Fang Yu had a drink with Xu Bai and said with a low smile: "The one named Tang Ning is the heroine, right?"

"It's her." Xu Bai nodded.

"Help my brother." Fang Yu took a deep look at Tang Ning, then stood up and pulled Xu Bai out. He turned around and said to the remaining people inside: "You guys eat first, I'll talk to your director about something outside."

Son."

He wanted to finalize the role of Tangning quickly, firstly to avoid long nights and nightmares, and secondly because the crew was preparing to start filming and there were still many things to be busy with.

Pulling Xu Bai outside to talk was also because he didn't want their conversation to affect the other actors' views on each other.

Fang Yu chose Tang Ning because he thought she was very beautiful and energetic, and her first impression was that her eyes lit up.

Even if such a person doesn't know how to act, putting her in a drama is still a visual enjoyment.

Of course, if his acting skills are also very good, then his web series is likely to become a hit.

So Fang Yu wanted his friend to help him bridge the gap: "Good brother, why don't you ask that little girl for me after dinner? If she is willing to come to my crew, I can let her play the leading role."

Xu Bai looked at her with a surprised look on his face: "When we were eating just now, you said that the male and female protagonists have already been decided, so it wouldn't be a good idea to change the heroine temporarily, right?"

Fang Yu had some helplessness on his face. He sat on a leisure chair and took out a cigarette and handed it to him: "The heroine is a little star brought in by the investors and has no acting skills. If it weren't for financial considerations this time, I wouldn't have done it at all.

If you agree, you are destroying your own brand, Lao Xu!"

Xu Bai took the cigarette without smoking. He understood immediately when he heard it, and he could understand his friend's dilemma. After all, he had the same experience as him before the movie started.

"Don't worry, I'll mention it to Tangning when I get back. She should agree."

Xu Bai smiled, but felt a little stuck in his heart. It was a bit difficult for him to make this movie, so he couldn't help his friend much.

He could only encourage: "It will get better. Director Fang Yu is much more famous than me now. If you make a web series and it becomes a hit, you will have three hits!"

Fang Yu puffed out cigarette smoke lightly and said disapprovingly: "You are a director on the big screen. It is only a matter of time that you become famous. In the future, you will also reach the level of director Xu Ning, your uncle."

"hope so."

The two sat outside and talked about many things. It wasn't until the people on both sides had almost finished eating that they said goodbye and left.

Back at the hotel, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

In the corridor, Xu Bai stopped Tang Ning, told her about what happened with Fang Yu, and then handed Tang Ning the script he took from him: "Director Fang wants you to come over to his place to have a look at the show.

He said that if you are willing, you can play the heroine in this drama."

"If you have time, you can read the script first and let's decide whether to act or not."

"Thank you, Director Xu."

Tangning took the script and looked down at the title "My Robot Ella". She thought it was quite interesting: "Is it okay if I go over the script tonight and tell you tomorrow?"

"Of course." Xu Bai had a smile on his lips and couldn't help but be concerned when he looked at her: "I saw that you ate very little for dinner. Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Pay attention to your health!"
