Chapter 55 Are you scared of living alone at night?

"Brother Lou, what do you mean?"

Old Zhou nudged Bai Youlou with his elbow, with a mischievous smile on his face.

Bai Youlou spread his hands, looked at the pitiful Hu Manyin, and conspired loudly with Lao Zhou: "If we don't take care of her, we'll just throw this to her."

Lao Zhou's look was very vivid: You are such a scoundrel!

Old Zhou didn't think he was joking at all. Instead, he believed that Bai Youlou was really capable of doing such a thing.

Hu Manyin's face turned pale after hearing this.

The hand that was holding the room card was so tight that the knuckles turned white.

Dignity is shattered
But before she could laugh at herself in her heart, Bai Youlou waved his hand and said, "Help her carry her luggage upstairs and take a look at the room."

This sentence sounds a bit strange, but what is even more strange to Lao Zhou is why he is the one who helps others carry their luggage?
"Sure? A suite! Your company is pretty wealthy."

After arriving at Hu Manyin's hotel room, Bai Youlou walked around and sighed.

The hotel where he and Lao Zhou stayed was a very ordinary standard room.

It turns out that people who came to walk the red carpet could actually stay in this two-bedroom suite.

Hu Manyin explained in a low voice, "I don't live alone. My agent and stylist sleep in one room. I have to put on makeup and change into a dress in the morning. My photographer is a man, so we booked another room, but we have already checked out."

Bai Youlou nodded. "Now that you live here alone, are you scared at night?"

Hu Manyin said subconsciously: "I'm not really scared. Huh? Should I be scared?"

Looking at Bai Youlou's sincere eyes, Hu Manyin felt that she should be afraid.

I wasn't afraid before, but now I should be afraid.

Because.
Half an hour later, Lao Zhou walked out of the hotel where Hu Manyin was staying. He looked back and felt as if he was in another world.

His eyes were full of pity.

I haven't gotten in the car yet!

The way back to the hotel is so long and he even has to help Bai Youlou deliver the luggage!
Bai Youlou, who started to "live together" with the girl for a short period of time, looked at the suite with satisfaction.

Hu Manyin, who had gradually become more "sensible", even said politely, "Director Bai, why don't you stay in the master bedroom?"

"it is good!"

This word "OK" made Hu Manyin stunned.

It's not that she was just being polite, she really wanted to give the master bedroom to Bai Youlou, but she didn't expect the other party to be so unceremonious.
This directness really makes people feel fresh.

At this moment, the original stereotype of Bai Youlou in her mind was shattered.

From the moment I learned that he was shortlisted for the main competition unit of Cannes, earth-shaking changes have begun.
-
For Bai Youlou, Hu Manyin's joining midway was not just a simple change of roommate.

To put it more complicatedly, it means we have an extra very useful ox or horse.

She only brought one dress with her, and her team fled back to China first. Even if she wanted to walk on the red carpet a few more times, or take some photos at the beach or on the streets, it was no longer possible.

The next “glory” will probably come at the closing ceremony.

The only thing I can do now is to work as a salesgirl for Bai Youlou.

I sat obediently at the stall selling films, and occasionally had to help distribute flyers.

Hu Manyin was not quite used to it at first. Who could adapt to a female star becoming a hostess and a receptionist?

But the poverty of the "Whiplash" crew forced her to adapt.

At the same time, she also didn't know how to get along with Bai Youlou since she had said bad things about him behind his back. She didn't know whether Zhang Xiaorong had told Bai Youlou.

How embarrassing!

However, the reality is that she is too busy to be embarrassed.

Bai Youlou really treated her like a beast of burden.

Either they are "recruiting customers" in the film market, or they are helping Lao Zhou, running around to build relationships and do PY transactions with various theater organizers, etc.

But today, "Whiplash" is finally going to be screened!
Hu Manyin was very much looking forward to it. She was really curious about what kind of movie she would be participating in as a "mercenary", and she actually came to Cannes.

"It's raining." Standing at the entrance of the Film Palace, Hu Manyin stretched out her hand to catch the rain, but then she remembered that she was wearing a dress, so she quickly withdrew her hand.

At the same time, he looked at Bai Youlou with some worry, "Will there be few people watching the movie on a rainy day?"

There was no need for Bai Youlou to answer her, and he didn't have the time.

"Junior, you are amazing! Your first play has been shortlisted for the main competition unit."

Section Chief Zheng, who came over with an umbrella, patted Bai Youlou on the shoulder with a smile. The attitude of this leading figure of the sixth generation of domestic directors was very cordial at this time.

That’s right, junior!
It is said that the entertainment industry is made up of many small circles.

Beijing circle, Shanghai circle, Northwest circle, Hong Kong circle. These circles are divided by region, and there is another type, which is the academic circle.

Zheng Kezhang and Bai Youlou, who both graduated from the Film Academy, are, to some extent, members of the same circle.

It's normal to support each other.

You support me and I support you, and as we support each other, we will become friends.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you are really qualified.

If he made a flop movie without any sound, and he still wants to be in the film school circle? Who would know you~
To be honest, as for the negative news about Bai Youlou, artists in the entertainment industry may stay away from him.

Hu Manyin’s attitude when she came to film was a typical example.

But Section Chief Zheng is just a director and a behind-the-scenes staff member. In his opinion, this little moral flaw, whether true or false, does not have much impact.

The title Cao Zei, at this moment, is just a suffix of the director.

Of course, Section Chief Zheng did not bring his wife along because he was feeling unwell.

After the two of them complained a little about the bad weather today, the adult politeness came to an end.

After Lao Zhou accompanied Section Chief Zheng into the venue to continue greeting people, Bai Youlou turned around and saw Hu Manyin staring at him with wide eyes.

"What are you doing?"

"Director Zheng is so nice to you!" Hu Manyin, who had just been ignored by Hualili, said enviously.

Maybe it was because she was dressed too casually, Section Chief Zheng didn't recognize that she was a female star. He might have mistaken her for a staff member.

“When you are successful, you are surrounded by good people.”

Hu Manyin naturally agreed with this statement. In her opinion, being shortlisted for Cannes is certainly a success!

However, Bai Youlou had just finished "teaching" the girl when a slap in the face came so quickly that she was caught off guard.

The "bad guy" appeared immediately.

"Hey? Junior sister?! Why are you here?" A voice that seemed a little surprised sounded.

Of course, this greeting was not directed to Bai Youlou, but to Hu Manyin.

Bai Youlou turned his head curiously.
He was wearing a suit and tie, shiny leather shoes, his hair was neatly combed like an adult, and he was very handsome, the fair-skinned young man that was very popular at the moment, with a warm smile on his face.

As soon as this guy appeared, he immediately walked to Hu Manyin and asked about her well-being.

Everyone in Bai Youlou was dumbfounded.

Aren't you everywhere, buddy? Are you so hard to kill?

Is it really like an NPC that refreshes everywhere?

He Bai is someone's designated target for "love-hate relationship"? !
Obviously, when Lu Wenyuan discovered Bai Youlou, the expression on his face was similar.

Hey!
why is it you again!
The weird atmosphere after the two met made Hu Manyin a little at a loss.

What's going on? Is this?

I couldn't help but reach out and tug at the corner of Bai Youlou's clothes, "Director Bai, do you know Senior Brother Lu?"

Bai Youlou's answer was unexpected: "Oh, I beat him."

Lu Wenyuan's face flushed red: "You fart!"

"Look, I'm in a hurry."
