Chapter 70: Autobiography: If We Had Not Met (3)
After learning the news that the band was about to disband, He Tianran inquired with Hu Yue about the band's past in detail.
When the world has no oneself, the establishment of the INTERESTING band is more just Wen Liang's interest in music hobbies, He Tianran knew that Wen Liang would definitely like to play these things, and organizing the band was originally to his liking.
But without him, the development of the band became different.
INTERESTING first became popular on the Internet with a few covers of Wen Liang, including the song "Rose Thief", but because in the real world, it is not original, so the band's influence has always been limited, and although some original tracks have been released, the discussion has always been on Wen Liang, not the work itself.
This problem already existed when He Tianran was still there, but at that time, a few hot songs were plagiarized from memory, which gave fans the illusion that the creative ability of this band matched Wen Liang's strength, and the lead singer and guitarist were a couple, and they complemented each other and achieved each other, so the problem never broke out.
Now that Wen Liang has returned to the normal world, after losing the memory of He Tianran and the future, most of the situation has been rewritten, Wen Liang wants to develop more, but it is still unrealistic in terms of the current situation, and singing is more like her hobby, acting is her job, so the dissolution of the band will happen sooner or later.
But the good news is that there is no He Tianran in this world, Wen Liang will still form a band according to her hobby and shoot that movie, but she will not sign a company early, set foot in the showbiz, and embark on the tragedy that was initially hidden in the snow.
This also means that Wen Liang's fate is not that everything has returned to the original point, but has embarked on another bright road!
I really changed the future!
These things that have changed or not changed, thinking about it are more like a good ending that has been painstaking, reincarnated for hundreds of years, and atoned for sins.
Thinking that his efforts were not in vain, He Tianran's heart was full of relief......
Even if none of his friends in this world know him anymore, and everything he has experienced has vanished, he doesn't want anything more......
It's really enough to let Wen Liang live in such a world......
"What do you say, Brother Jia, you see that you came to make a cameo, and you came to help without mentioning the money, this is also a coincidence, otherwise we will take you to the scene after filming in the afternoon? By the way, I asked for a signature or something~"
Hu Yue proposed very enthusiastically.
"Go...... Scene? ”
"That's right."
"Yes...... Will you see the warmth? ”
"Of course, what else are we going to do with you, and it's not just a matter of seeing, if she's free, you can talk to her for a few days."
Hu Yue saw that the other party's body was tense, his face was cramped and frightened, and he even looked speechless, he laughed and took the opportunity to joke and continued:
"You can rest assured, it's rare for our crew to get together today, I was going to go directly to the livehouse to watch the performance after filming the last few scenes, we usually don't need to go to that store, their boss is the drummer of the band, and he has an iron relationship with our brothers, I usually call him uncle, it's not a problem for you to be alone."
Hu Xiucai said this because he wanted the man in front of him to relax, and he was not surprised to see too many stars in the film school, but for ordinary people, it is understandable to be a little panicked.
After all, Wen Liang, as an actor, is currently the most potential in domestic entertainment, with high appearance and acting skills, although she personally did not receive anything at the Venice Film Festival last year, but at the domestic Academy Awards, she won the actress nomination and the Best Newcomer Award.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, it should be a good opportunity for fans to get close to idols, but He Tianran gave an unexpected answer, only to see that after the initial hesitation, he shook his head and said:
"Forget it, you can take me in and listen to the music, or you can just give me a ticket, and I can go myself."
"Ah, why? You don't want to get up close and personal with idols? ”
Hu Yue was puzzled.
He Tianran calmed down his good mood and said with a smile:
"Let's keep our distance, isn't this the basic quality of a fan? And what is the signature chat...... For me, it really doesn't mean much, it's better to watch her perform quietly. ”
“…… Tsk, that's true, Brother Jia, pay attention to wow! ”
After listening to the explanation, Hu Yue gave a thumbs up.
After chatting this time, Hu Yue really likes the "little Brother Jia" in front of him, he feels that he is a real person, and he has the appetite for speech, especially the words "keep his distance", seeing that he heard Wen Liang's name a second ago and reacted so much, but then he was able to say such a self-contained rational speech, which is really high-looking.
Does He Tianran want to see Wen Liang?
I think this is the main factor why he came to this black and white world.
It's just that he once said to Cao Aiqing that if he saw Wen Liang again, he would deliberately avoid it.
This is of course true, and it is happening right now.
In the final analysis, it is because He Tianran no longer knows what kind of image to use to face the coldness.
Think of yourself as a complete stranger, and then pretend to be excited to greet the famous little flower girl politely and express your love and adoration?
If it is just like this, it will only be a torment for He Tianran......
Why should you tear a scabbed wound open?
Therefore, knowing that Wen Liang was living well, and seeing the scars in her life heal, He Tianran already felt that it was very sufficient.
"Cai Cassia Ming, are you finished?!"
Suddenly, a female voice scolding came from the black box theater, which suddenly interrupted He Tianran's melancholy.
The two men who were standing outside chatting looked inside at the same time, then looked at each other, and then walked into the theater one after another.
"What do you mean I'm not finished? If you can't act yourself, don't you let people say yes? ”
"Are you a director? But you're up to the mark, right? Wouldn't it be nice to have your own camera?! ”
……
On the stage, Cai Cianming and Gu Ling had some verbal disputes, and one of them was the starring role, the other was a photographer, and the small crew had to stop if anyone was missing.
"Yes, here we go again."
Seeing this scene, Hu Yue slapped his head with one hand, crossed his waist with the other, and said helplessly.
He Tianran glanced around, except for the crew on the stage, Li Wang was making a phone call in the corner at the moment, with a look of annoyance on his face, and he didn't know what to say to the person on the phone.
"You're not going to persuade you?"
He Tianran said worriedly.
"I can't persuade them, these two people have emotions, it's hard to see each other once or this virtue, there was a quarrel at the dinner after the last shooting, and it's still the same today."
Hu Yue said so, but he still stepped forward and pulled Cai Cianming away to prevent the conflict between the two from escalating.
He Tianran's current identity is said to be a cameo, but in fact, it is a trick, he is now related to this group of friends for no reason, and it is useless to rush up, so he can only find a place to sit down and wait, after all, this situation is not good-looking, the two quarreled for a while, and after separation, they started the cold war mode.
The crew was so troubled by these two, and the atmosphere dropped to the freezing point at once.
At this time, Li Wang hung up the phone and walked to He Tianran's side, with a kind of tiredness in his words, but still patiently asked:
"Brother Jia, did Hu Yue explain to you the trick just now? Now it's time for you to play. ”
He Tianran had a bad heart, he had been chatting with Hu Yue just now to inquire about the current situation of everyone, and he forgot about the business at once......
"Uh...... Teacher, please forgive me, it's my first time acting, so I didn't understand it very well just now, so please take the trouble to tell me again. ”
Li Wang sighed.
"Alas...... Okay, Brother Xiao Jia, wait for your play to be like this......"
He, as a director, is really desperate.
In fact, he is not to blame, who would have thought that the friends he found at the beginning would block him at this juncture?
Li Wang's personality and directing style on the set is like this, he can be very patient and take the trouble to disassemble a scene, he has not been to the big crew, and he does not understand the coordination and management of various departments, but when he encounters the current situation, it is inevitable to be blind.
Spending money to hire someone to do things is different from finding a few brothers to do things together, after all, the former can't do things, you can scold or change, but the latter is difficult to open this mouth, not to mention the impact of feelings, and sometimes you have to be considerate of others.
There's no way, since you have to be considerate of others, you can only put the pressure on yourself.
After that, Li Wang told He Tianran about the role he wanted to play, and in a word, the heroine played by Gu Ling came to the theater for an interview, and the director he played gave the other party affirmation after the performance.
As an actor, his scene is very simple, but the difficulty of this scene lies in the movement trajectory of the camera, this is a long shot, after the camera follows Gu Ling on the stage, it has to be directly pushed to the half-length close-up of the character under the stage, and there will be no post-editing points in the middle, so this is a test of the photographer's skills.
After listening to Li Wang's scheduling, He Tianran couldn't help but say: "The emotions to be expressed in this shot are very heavy, if you ......"
"Brother Jia, your task is very simple, you don't have to think about other things."
Li Wang interrupted his follow-up speech.
Now that there are enough people with problems in the crew, Li Wang really doesn't want anyone to give any more opinions, and everyone can do their own thing, thank God.
He Tianran sensed the irritability between Li Wang's eyebrows and consciously shut up.
On a set, you really don't need two talkers.
After a while, under the auspices and urging of Li Wang, Cai Cianming and Gu Ling temporarily put down their anger, He Tianran sat in the prescribed seat, and a primary school girl who came to help gave him a simple makeup, and then secretly pinned a radio microphone in the collar.
The crew does not have a separate lighting engineer, it is all under the control of Cai Cassia Ming, because this shot is very long, many scenes will be brought, so in order to prevent goofs, the position of the lights was adjusted for a while, and the staff consciously hid it.
Ready, with an action from Li Wang behind the scenes, everyone officially entered the shooting state.
It's just that this is the first time the camera is opened, and the camera follows Gu Ling around a few times, and before it was He Tianran's turn to perform, Li Wang hurriedly shouted to stop.
"Lao Cai, don't loosen up your scene, you stuck the character too tightly, and the movement speed of your camera is too fast, slow down, do it again."
Li Wang, who was hiding in the corner of the theater and sitting behind the monitor, shouted loudly.
The actor returned to his position, and now the only person who can be seen under the stage of the small theater is He Tianran, he adjusted his sitting posture and tried to find a state of entering the play.
started again, I don't know if it was a subconscious move, when the camera circled in front of Gu Ling, the girl couldn't help but glance at the camera, this action was so big that even He Tianran in the audience found out, let alone the director sitting in front of the monitor.
"Stop!"
"I'm sorry Director Li, I'll do it again."
Gu Ling knew that she had made a mistake, took the initiative to admit it, and began to walk back.
"Your white eyes are coming at me."
Cai Cianming, who was holding the camera, said lightly with resentment.
"Don't get too close to me, Mr. Cai, the director also said just now that Jing Bei is looser, this is not a close-up."
Gu Lingmian hid a needle in her mouth and teased.
Li Wang didn't know if he heard the conversation between the two, but He Tianran, who was sitting in the audience watching them, heard it clearly.
They fell in love at first sight and now hated each other, He Tianran still remembered Cai Cianming's crazy dancing in the bedroom, saying that the destined woman in his life was Gu Ling, and he also sent the eight characters of the two to his grandfather in the capital, and asked his old man to help calculate it.
Seeing that their relationship is now disgusted with each other to such an extent, He Tianran also has a relationship in his heart.
Once the reality is pulled and spread out, frustrated and crumpled into the details of life, it is really not a thing.
The two patronized and quarreled before, and the position between the actor and the camera was probably forgotten for a long time, and it was repeated several times before they finally became proficient.
Gu Ling performed a dance on the stage, in the script she is a dancer who is eager to succeed and be recognized, but she has been disheartened by failure, and this interview in the theater is the last time she tries her dream, because before coming to the interview, she has already bought a ticket back to the small county town.
In fact, at the end of the script, this girl returned to the county seat after being recognized.
Such an ending is poignant, but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it.
Because in many cases, being recognized does not mean that it represents success, but the process of gaining recognition is enough to make people leave with a smile.
By the way, the person who wrote this script is Hu Yue.
He seems to be able to write something sad but not sad at last.
It's just that no matter how deeply the book is written, the actor is breathing a sigh of relief, and the effect presented will be greatly reduced.
Cai Cianming controlled the position of the camera, shifted the camera from Gu Ling, who was on the curtain call, to He Tianran, the role of director, and then moved forward step by step, slowly pushing to his close-up.
However, a disappointed expression appeared on He Tianran's face, and he didn't say the lines of approval for a long time......
Cai Jianming behind the camera thought he was nervous and forgot his lines, so he kept silently reminding him with his lip sync:
"Dude, talk about it!"
Unexpectedly, He Tianran in the camera shook his head, and also made a lip gesture:
"I can't get by."
Cai Cianming was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Li Wang shout to stop.
He put down the camera, and finally he could open his voice to He Tianran:
"Dude is like this, you are a fake director, the director of the one sitting in the corner is the real director, he doesn't shout stop, you just have to say the words, do you like it or not, but it doesn't matter."
He Tianran smiled: "I know. ”
"Ah just know, what, let's do it again, don't be nervous, this machine is quite heavy, this scene is also long, I was tired and panicked after going around in a circle, let's end it early, I'll rest early, do me a favor, thank you."
Cai Cianming said, seeing Li Wang walking out of the corner, he thought that he was going to talk to the fake director in front of him, and was about to help explain a few sentences, but Li Wang walked towards Gu Ling, saying that she had a problem with her performance just now.
"That Gu ...... The performance of the actress, from the director's point of view, is not passable, Director Li didn't stop just now, probably because he wanted your camera to go through the scheduling completely. ”
He Tianran said softly.
Cai Cianming looked at Gu Ling on the stage, hesitated for two seconds, and then smiled as if gloating.
"Heh, I knew she was going to pull her hips, and she ...... like this every time"
After speaking, he held the camera and sat beside He Tianran with a tired expression, as if he had nothing to say:
"What kind of profession is buddy, it's a bit of a way......"
"No, just a movie lover."
"Humility."
"Actually, I now have a way to get that actress into the groove."
“…… What? ”
He Tianran didn't answer in a hurry, but waited until Li Wang over there finished communicating with Gu Ling, and walked to the two people in the audience.
"That...... Brother Jia, you ......"
Li Wang stopped talking, scratched his head, and looked at Cai Cianming.
He Tianran continued: "Is there a problem with clothing? ”
"Little Brother Jia, you also feel it."
"Well, the director of this kind of theater, wearing a suit for an interview is actually a bit of a play, and generally this kind of occasion is more casual, too formal and not the style of your industry."
This synchronization of thinking made Li Wang feel much more relaxed, and he agreed:
"That's right, that's how I feel when I see it on the monitor, then Lao Cai, change your clothes with Brother Xiao Jia."
"Okay~嘞~"
Cai Cianming stood up, took off the shock-absorbing vest of the photographic stabilizer on his body, and then was about to take off his regular coat together, He Tianran suddenly said:
"Director, how about you let the camera teacher play my role?"
Cai Cianming was stunned for a moment, and he didn't move at once, which was really a proposal that he didn't expect.
Li Wang paused after hearing this, and a little strange look flashed on his face, but in the end he shook his head helplessly:
"Brother Jia, this is a good idea, but Lao Cai is a photographer, he has made a cameo, who will shoot this shot."
Although Li Wang can also shoot, but he is the kind of theory that is greater than practice, this lens needs to use a professional photographic stabilizer like Steadicam, this thing really needs to be practiced, and it also has to wear a shock-absorbing vest to borrow strength, Li Wang's requirements are high, but if he doesn't play well, the shot will be almost meaningless.
"Since the director thinks this proposal is good, then I can change my job with Mr. Cai, I will shoot it, and he will act."
He Tianran's words instantly made the two of them look at him in surprise.
"It's not...... Dude, aren't you a lover? ”
"Haha, yes, but I still know a little bit about photography."
He Tianran took the shock-absorbing vest in his hand, Cai Cianming originally wanted to say don't make trouble, your hobby is compared to my major, and it can't be replaced at all.
However, when he saw the other party take off his suit jacket, neatly put the shock-absorbing vest on his body, and helped himself correct the horizontal weight of the stabilizer, he was dumbfounded......
Maybe this person ...... Can you really shoot?
"Director Li, I'll walk through the camera, can you take a look?"
He Tianran said confidently.
Just kidding, when Cai Cassia was a sophomore, he Tianran helped him shoot the short film.
Li Wang didn't speak just now, this kind of thing will never happen in a big crew, but for him, if he can jump out of someone to help him share the pressure of filming now, then his work as a director will be much easier.
And Li Wang felt that He Tianran's previous proposal ...... Very reliable.
Cai Cianming plays the director who recognizes Gu Ling......
For public and private, this is a very meaningful scene.
"That'...... Little Brother Jia, you ...... Give it a try. ”
"Okay!"
He Tianran walked to the center of the stage in three or two steps, Li Wang followed behind him, Gu Ling in front of the stage was stunned, the two explained to her the change of actors and cameramen, staying in place Cai Cianming seemed to become a little helpless, he couldn't help but look at some Gu Ling......
The other party seemed to feel something at this time, and it was also looking at him.
The eyes of the two met in mid-air, as if they were both talking a thousand words......
It turns out that the person named Xiao Jia does have two brushes, and he quickly adapted to all Li Wang's requirements for this long shot, and Director Li, who had been holding back for a day, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.
"When the students who can focus wait for my camera to push to Mr. Cai's face, the focus can be blurred first, and then slowly become solid, without becoming so fast."
"That's right, that's how it feels, Brother Jia, when you follow Gu Ling, the camera can also shake a little."
"Breathe more, huh? Understood, come, trouble the actor teacher to step down, I'll follow. ”
“…… Well! Right! That's the effect! ”
"Li Dao ......"
"Huh?"
"Go look at your monitor, don't follow me, I'm afraid I'll bump into you when I walk."
"Ah...... Yeah. ”
After some exchange, Li Wang returned to his little corner and hid in contentment, and after sitting down, he shouted:
"Then Brother Jia, let's try to shoot one first!"
From the other side of the stage came a resounding response:
"Yes, come on!"
"Let's play the board, 3, 2, 1, Action."
……
In the monitor, the picture taken by the camera was transmitted to Li Wang's eyes through wireless video transmission, and when the person sitting in the audience was replaced by Cai Cassia Ming's ex-boyfriend, Gu Ling's eyes were different, and this time it was really in full swing.
Li Wang was both happy and emotional, and suddenly there were two subtle movements left and right behind him, and someone walked behind him.
To his right, a man crouched down and looked at the monitor with him.
Li Wang glanced sideways, it was his girlfriend, Sheng Qidong.
Knowing that she was filming now, her girlfriend looked at Gu Ling on the screen and whispered:
"Are they still arguing? We'll be right here as soon as we get your call! ”
Li Wang smiled and said nothing, when the two had an argument at the scene just now, Li Wang knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to suppress it, so he immediately called for help.
At this time, he also felt someone on his left hand side bending over, looking at the footage being filmed.
Li Wang's nose first wafted a tempting smell like berries after rain, and then a soft sentence sounded in his ears:
"Isn't our Gu Ling acting very well now? Quarrel and quarrel, as long as it doesn't get in the way, your unproductive teacher Cai should scold a few more times. ”
"Yes~!" Sheng Qidong agreed, and then covered his mouth.
“……”
This kind of strong speech made several students present who came to help cover their mouths and snicker, and Li Wang turned his head with a wry smile......
It was a very beautiful woman, with a black baseball cap on her head, and her chestnut shoulder-length hair slightly curled, and she was hunched over her chest, her hands folded around her chest, and her starry eyes staring intently at the monitor.
She brushed her hair, a bright and extraordinary side face was born with three points of strength and sharpness, this just right amount of aggression is really dangerous and charming, her appearance is like a slow song suddenly changing the tune, no matter who sees it, the heart will beat for no reason.
"It's good, isn't it? You wait, there's something better. ”
"Hmm-"
Li Wang played a dumb riddle, and the woman dragged out a long, noncommittal sound in her nose.
As the screen in the monitor turned, when the two girls found that it was Cai Cassia who was sitting in the audience, their faces were slightly stunned!
"Why is Mr. Cai still on camera?!"
Sheng Qidong covered his mouth, surprised and wanted to laugh.
"Shhhh
Li Wang's index finger is against his lips.
"Wangzai, your idea is quite good, they should have such a chance to face each other well, but Cai Cianming has appeared, who is filming this scene?"
The beautiful woman asked as she slowly straightened up, staring at the development on the screen.
Li Wangdao: "A kind-hearted classmate we caught temporarily at the school gate, I originally wanted him to play the director, but I didn't expect others to do anything, it is estimated that he is a photography major, and the suggestion of exchanging identities with our teacher Cai was also put forward by him after watching the scene." ”
Hu Yue on the side smiled and added to him: "He didn't study photography, others are from the finance department of Hong Kong University next door, Mr. Cai is really embarrassed now......
Everyone was stunned when they said this, and Hu Yue wanted to continue to say something, but was stopped by Li Wang.
"Shhh, Xiucai, don't talk yet, let's start talking Teacher Cai! Look! ”
In the camera, I saw Cai Cianming, who was sitting in a precarious position, took a deep breath several times, as if he was the one who was going to be interviewed, a few words were so boiled in his mouth, and he couldn't say it for a long time, and his gentle appearance made everyone feel funny.
"Ah~"
Sheng Qidong, who was squatting on the ground, couldn't help but laugh first.
And this laughter, as if there was a chain reaction, Hu Yue, Li Wang, several classmates who participated in the scenes, and even the girl laughed from weak to strong!
"Be quiet!"
There was a loud roar in the theater.
Everyone knew that something was wrong, and they were silent for a moment, but the woman was slightly stunned when she heard this voice.
"Director, do you want to do it again?"
The shouts came again.
"Wait a minute, Brother Jia, I'll talk to our Teacher Cai about the play!"
Li Wang stood up here, and was about to come out of the corner, when he saw a figure take a step ahead of him and rush in front of him!
……
In the theater, a man stands in the center of the stage with a video camera, as if reminiscing about the filming process just now, he lowers his head and plays back the footage captured by the camera.
His outfit was not so ordinary, a suit vest, a white shirt with sleeves rolled up to his forearms, and a shock-absorbing vest at the outermost level.
Some of his hair was white, the color of snow, and a little dazzling in the light of the light.
"Little ...... Armor? ”
An uncertain call made the man's shoulders shake slightly.
He looked up......
