Chapter 15: Valentine's Day I

Wang Beibei returned to her seat, turned on her mobile phone, and received an MSG message from Kevin Li three hours ago.

Time: "My dear, I'll be very busy from today onwards, and I can't chat with you all the time, so I'll call you if I have something." ”

Wang Beibei replied: "Well, okay." Then he sent another message: "The meeting has just ended, and everyone is very optimistic about your design, but for cost considerations, this design may not be chosen." By the way, Mr. Su asked me for your mobile phone number, and she said that she would call you and ask you questions about the design of this mobile phone. ”

After a long time, she didn't receive a reply from Li Kaiwen, so Wang Beibei took her mobile phone and walked to the corridor outside the office and dialed Li Kaiwen's number.

Hearing the phone ringing, Li Kaiwen took off the welding mask, put down the welding tongs in his hand, took off the welding gloves, walked to the corner and picked up the mobile phone on the tool table, glanced at Wang Beibei's phone, and hurriedly pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Beibei, missed me?"

"Hmm. What about you? ”

"What am I?"

"Love to say it or not! During the meeting just now, Mr. Su asked me for your number, and I just called to tell you. ”

"Oh, what are you discussing in today's meeting?"

"It's about the look of the phone you've designed. Mr. Su and I like your design very much, but others say that the cost is too high and may not adopt your design. ”

"That's it? Okay, I see, miss you, dear. ”

"Well, then I'll hang up, bye-bye."

After answering the phone, Li Kaiwen concentrated on his work again, and today he is doing the most basic shooting environment layout work.

In the evening, Li Kaiwen took advantage of the time when he went out to dinner to call home, saying that he would sleep in the old house in his hometown tonight, and naturally he would inevitably listen to his mother's nagging.

After returning to the old house after dinner, Li Kaiwen began to make appropriate adaptations of the storyline and lines according to the needs of his oriental face role, and wrote a script.

The story has not changed much, mainly the part of the phone call with his mother who suffers from Alzheimer's disease, and the part about snakes in the original version has been removed, and the plot of the Chinese and American governments passing the buck to each other has been added.

Just when Li Kaiwen was working wholeheartedly, at the door of Room 1602, Building 16, rented by Li Kaiwen in the Happy Community of Songjiang Mansion, Su Yanran was knocking on the door, and she was holding a paper bag with the words "Meijiajing Dry Cleaning Chain Store" written on the paper bag.

At eight o'clock in the evening, when Li Kaiwen was recording dubbing for the movie, the mobile phone screen that had been set to mute suddenly lit up, Li Kaiwen took off the monitoring headphones, picked up the mobile phone and took a look, it was a number with a tail number of "8888".

"Hey, who's that?"

"Mr. Li, hello, I'm Su Yanran from Sutong Company, and your girlfriend told me your number."

"Ah, hello Mr. Su, is there anything you are looking for me?" Judging from the tone of Su Yanran's speech, Li Kaiwen probably didn't know who she was.

"Last night..., you knew who I was from the beginning, didn't you?" Su Yanran asked softly.

"Ah, you already know?" Li Kaiwen was caught off guard by Su Yanran's unreasonable way of chatting.

"Well, yes, I saw the photos on your file, so..."Su Yanran stopped halfway through her words, meaning that you can guess for yourself in the future.

"No, my mom won't even recognize me as the person in that picture."

"Ah, maybe I have a strong sense of recognition of human faces, hehe." Su Yanran hurriedly changed the topic: "By the way, is it convenient to meet now?" ”

"I'm not in Songjiang Mansion now, I'm going back to my hometown in Huai'an Mansion today and I'm back to prepare my graduation project."

"Oh, well, then I didn't bother you, did I?"

"No, no, whatever you want to ask, just say hello."

"It's the appearance of the phone you designed for Beibei, I want to ask, why there is only one button on the home screen, won't this design make users unaccustomed to it?"

"Well, I actually prefer the other design with rounded corners and straight edges. I don't know much about industrial design, so if you ask your engineers if you can produce an LCD screen with rounded corners and a small hole for the front camera, if you can do it technically, I think this design should be better. ”

"You mean the transparent one? But I've heard from engineers that this technology won't be a reality in the next few decades. ”

"This is my graduation project, which is not really transparent, but uses the rear camera to show the scene behind the phone on the background of the screen, and then simulates the transparent effect of the phone."

"I see, I didn't think of it." Su Yanran talked to herself excitedly, and after a while, she said to Li Kaiwen: "Discuss something with you, can you change the topic of your graduation project?" ”

"Oh?"

"I want to use your idea for our next generation of phones, you know, if this idea leaks out in advance and is preempted by other companies, then we will lose the opportunity. So..."

"No problem at all, in fact I've changed the subject, and I've changed the subject to a better one."

"Oh? Can I know? Forget it, that, then I'll hang up first. ”

"If you want to know, come to Huai'an Mansion next week." was caught off guard by Su Yanran just now, and Li Kaiwen's villain took revenge, and he was not willing to wait for a minute.

"Huh?" Su Yanran was really caught off guard.

"Will you come?" The corners of Li Kaiwen's mouth rose slightly.

"I... I'm afraid I won't have time," Su Yanran's heart was like a deer, afraid that Li Kaiwen would think that he would reject him, so he hurriedly said: "I'll go and ask the secretary to help me look at the schedule and see if I can squeeze out a day or two." ”

"Hmm."

"Then I'll hang up first." Su Yanran was worried that Li Kaiwen would make any more excessive demands on the phone, so she quickly hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy sound of "beep" in the earpiece, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of Li Kaiwen's mouth.

After putting away the evil smile on his face, Li Kaiwen made another call to Wang Beibei, and after talking to Wang Beibei for five minutes, he devoted himself to dubbing work.

The next day, Li Kaiwen welded the peripheral track and the trolley on the track in one day, and all the materials for the robotic arm bought online were in place. In the evening, Kevin Li spent six hours doing all the dubbing work for the entire movie.

In addition, a mobile phone program for virtual dialing was also designed, and when filming officially started, this virtual dialing program should be used to simulate the effect of real-time calls. Because of the one-shot shooting method, it is natural to use simultaneous sound recording.

On May 20, Valentine's Day, at half past seven in the morning, Li Kaiwen was woken up by a mobile phone alarm.

Last night was another dreamless night, and Kevin Li couldn't figure out what triggered the dream.

At eight o'clock, Li Kaiwen drove Wang Beibei's domestic car Songjiang Xiushang, and drove on the coastal highway back to Songjiang Prefecture, with a speed of 160 kilometers per hour, and after 3 hours, he returned to his residence in the happy community.

Li Kaiwen didn't tell Wang Beibei that she would come back in the morning, because today is a special day, and his heart cancer usually "worsens" on such days, judging from the attitude of yesterday's call, Su Yanran is obviously interesting to himself, so he naturally wants to send a message to Su Yanran to make an appointment.

Turning out Su Yanran's number, Li Kaiwen sent a text message: "I have returned to Songjiang Mansion and brought you a gift, is it convenient to come and get it now?" ”
