The next day, at half past nine in the morning.

He Tianran had breakfast and drove to the company on time.

Zhuguang Lane is located in the Jiangnan District of the port city, adjacent to Queen Street with rich nightlife and Nathan New Road, where a number of luxury and trendy brands gather, and three kilometers to the north across the Demojiang Bridge, you can reach the busiest Jiangbei CBD central business district in the port city, where the Shanhai Group of He Panshan is located.

In fact, as early as 20 years ago, thanks to the southerners of the older generation of filmmakers, after the loss of talents, the port city intended to support the local film industry, which is also another major factor in the rapid rise of the "Hong Kong circle" in recent years.

Nowadays, Zhuguang Lane has become a synonym for the southern film and television industry, a business card of the port city, where not only dense cinemas, community theaters, live studios, and film and television production institutions are gathered, but also the famous Hong Kong City Grand Theater is located here.

The port city is not a city with an ancient history, so after the economy takes off, the support for some emerging cultural industries is very strong.

When a city has formed a cultural atmosphere, it has a heritage over time, which is also one of the important means to promote sustainable economic development.

Taking the tourism industry very bluntly, more than half of the tourists who come to Hong Kong City for sightseeing will choose to come to Zhuguang Lane Movie Street to see, even if it is with the idea of meeting stars on the road, or to come here to watch movies, dramas, and see the filming crew to feel the atmosphere, these are very good choices, and after shopping, you want to go shopping or go to the Bund to watch the night view, experience the bustling nightlife of Queen Street, and the transportation is very convenient.

This is a modern life that cannot be experienced in a film and television city like Hengdian or Xiangshan.

Driving the car into a park located on the main street of Jewel Lane, He Tianran could see through the car window that there was already a queue of fifty or sixty people downstairs of the company next door, all handsome men and beautiful women, in addition to seven or eight staff members carrying lights and photographic equipment into the building, shouting that everyone should not mess up, and wait for another fifteen minutes to enter the venue.

Looks like it's an interview.

This kind of scene can be seen almost every day in Zhuguang Lane.

He Tianran found a parking space under the shade of a tree and parked the car, and as soon as he walked two steps, he bumped into two actors, one middle school and one young actor, who might have come to the interview, sneaked under the tree to smoke and pass the time while they hadn't entered the venue.

The middle-aged one looks like he is close to forty, and the younger one should be in his twenties, He Tianran glanced at it hurriedly and stopped looking, and the two people were stunned for a moment when they saw He Tianran get out of the car, they probably looked familiar, but they couldn't recognize who it was for a while.

After a while, the older man shook his head, and the cigarette in his mouth was not thrown away, but took out a small black box containing cigarette butts from his pocket, hurriedly extinguished the cigarette and threw it in, and then handed it to the young man next to him, signaling the other party to quickly extinguish the cigarette.

"That...... You stay, are you He Tianran, He Dao'er? ”

The other party spoke out with some uncertainty, he was so much older than He Tianran, but his tone was full of respect and humility.

"It's me, who are you?"

He Tianran stopped, he asked so, but he had already guessed seven or eight points of the other party's intention, which was why he just glanced at the two of them in a hurry just now and didn't look at them.

"Ah, hello, hello, we were interviewing next door, and we happened to meet you, and we both liked the "Thousand Knots of Hearts" you filmed last year."

After receiving a confirmed reply, the middle-aged man's hands hurriedly wiped his brown coat, and then stretched out enthusiastically.

The other party's hands were very thick and rough, and they wrapped He Tianran's palm and clenched it for a while.

"My name is Sun Zhangwen, uh...... Come here~! ”

He turned his head and shouted to the young man who was still stunned in place grinding and chirping to extinguish the smoke, and when he heard the shout, the young man came closer, nodded slightly, and said politely:

"Hello, Dao'er He."

Sun Zhangwen took a roll of A4 paper that had been stuck in his pants pocket, and then handed it over.

He Tianran didn't answer for the time being, and said lightly:

"You're here for an interview, right? But on my side, there are no projects that have started for the time being. ”

Sun Zhangwen's face was not cramped, and he smiled:

"Clearly, Director He, you should keep our actor information first, don't delay your work, there are our contact information and filming experience in it."

He Tianran nodded and took it, now the actor's resume has long been made into PPT for convenience, what photos, videos, like this, there is a paper version of the resume, then it is really the lowest actor in the running group.

"Are you a group leader or an actor agent?"

"I ...... I was the teacher who taught him acting, and now ...... is also working as an actor agent, this kid is very smart, Director He, you can try it if you have the chance. ”

"Well, there's a chance, it's true that I haven't played recently, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."

He Tianran took the resume and didn't flip through it, and didn't stay longer.

"Okay, okay, you're busy first."

"Good luck with your interviews."

Leaving such a sentence, He Tianran walked away.

Looking at his distant back, the young actor showed a little disdain on his face, and complained to the middle-aged man:

"Teacher Sun, this kid is younger than me, look at the way he is carrying, you don't have to be so polite to him, it's just that he has a good father, and he is also a director, funny."

Sun Zhangwen straightened his face: "Xiao Li, do you also know that others are younger than you?" You're 27 years old, and you're not on fire yet, so that's it? If you don't change your arrogant personality, do you want to be like me? ”

……

……

He Tianran's own film and television company is "small and beautiful" compared with other large companies in the park, a two-story small bungalow with a red brick structure, and the roof is deliberately woven with steel bars to construct the four big characters of "Future Production", and the whole company counts the front desk and finance, and there are only twenty-three people.

But small also has small benefits, there are not so many worries, "future production" does not exist in the early stage of entrepreneurship, everyone has to endure hardships together, everyone has something to do, and they are all young people, and they can talk about it, the most important thing is that He Tianran, the boss, he is loose, and the salary is in place, what bonuses, and there is no arrears in overtime pay.

And the most important thing is like what kind of director, post-editing positions that often require overtime, He Tianran does not have a fixed working time, all of them are flexible work systems, for example, the normal is to go to work at ten o'clock, get off work at six o'clock, today I work overtime for two hours, and I can come to work at twelve o'clock tomorrow, I stay up all night, and I can not come directly the next day, it is so free.

However, He Tianran is not a good person, if he has been doing this, he will definitely have to deduct a little bit of overtime pay, but this is also much better than ordinary sweatshops.

Entering the company, you can see the poster of "A Thousand Knots of the Heart" and some portraits at the door, and now "Future Film and Television" has only filmed such a drama, so it is a little monotonous, but at least the work can be handled, and there will only be more and more in the future.

There were only about 20 people in the small building that could normally arrange fifty or sixty workstations, which seemed a little empty, so everyone arranged some snack racks, flowers, lazy sofas, game consoles, billiard tables and other things indoors for decoration and use.

He Tianran thought that if there were more people in the company in the future, and he would return from overseas studies, the first thing he would do was to find her to help his company renovate.

In the past, at this time, He Tianran came to the company and everyone was at his workstation, and it was normal for someone to chat occasionally, but as soon as he entered the door today, he saw a bunch of people gathered next to the computer in the later stage, as if they were discussing something.

"What's wrong? Look, you guys just now. ”

He Tianran approached and asked.

"Look at your gossip."

Yao Qingtao casually gave an answer.

"My gossip? What gossip do I have? ”

"Go upstairs and say to your office."

"Ah...... Good. ”

He Tianran didn't know why, Yao Qingtao took the notebook, pushed him up to the second floor behind him, came to the office, and closed the door.

"What, mysterious."

"Yesterday you were playing against Teacher Wen Liang outside, nothing happened, did you?"

"Huh? No, I don't. ”

Yao Qingtao thought about it, opened the notebook, and pulled out a piece of entertainment news, which read-

"He's got today, too?! The rich second-generation director picked flowers and met the cold, and the pretty Huang Rong met Ouyang Ke, and her enthusiasm was no longer there!"

He Tianran almost didn't squirt out when he saw this title, and the person who could come up with this title was really a talent.

He looked down at the picture, which was the scene where he and Wen Liang sat opposite each other in the flower shop yesterday, and the moment recorded in the photo happened to be Wen Liang's impatience when he saw him repeatedly denying his memory.

This framing is very clever, none of the surrounding staff and cameras have filmed it, just he and Wen Liang alone, it looks like a private date......

And the accompanying text of the picture, which is roughly the same meaning, is nothing more than that he is interested in warmth, but the other party shows a kind of disgust, and between the descriptions of words, there are also many vulgar guides in this regard, leaving a lot of room for the imagination of the people who eat melons.

He Tianran looked at the release time of this lace news, which broke out in the early hours of this morning.

"I was thinking, if Teacher Wen Liang's expression was more enthusiastic about me at that time, would it be written that the two of us were fighting fiercely? These entertainment tabloids can really be edited! ”

Yao Qingtao's eyes widened: "Do you still have the time to think about this?" ”

He Tianran said calmly: "Then what else can I think?" Don't talk about these nonsense, how is this thing developing now? ”

"At eight o'clock in the morning, the hot search of a certain blog rushed to fifteen, and now it has been two hours, and it has dropped to more than twenty, mainly because now there are many netizens who eat melons, and there is no real hammer just by relying on a picture to explain anything, and it is estimated that it will be gone today."

He Tianran walked to his seat and sat down, "Ah...... That's good, this can also be on the hot search, a certain blog is really finished. ”

"It's the same on any platform, and some entertainment accounts on today's short video also swiped your news, mainly because your identity is very topical, I think when I was promoting "A Thousand Knots of the Heart", didn't you also take advantage of this? You can't just look at the good and not look at the bad, right? Your identity is a double-edged sword. ”

He Tianran nodded, although he understood the truth, but this Senior Sister Yao could always repeat herself at certain moments, he leaned back on his sofa, looked at the ceiling, and muttered:

"But then again, this time Mr. Wen Liang ...... It's been a little too much. ”

Yao Qingtao asked cautiously, "You mean...... These are all written and directed by Wen Liang? ”

He Tianran admitted: "There is no substantial evidence, but it seems that everything is very reasonable. ”

Ignoring the ethics of the industry, the temporary change of photographers, the fabricated memories out of thin air, the black material that has always been there, Bai Lingye's speech last night, and the photos that broke out this morning, all of these things seem to be connected together......

"Actually...... I have the same guess as you in my heart, after all, Wen Liang has been breaking too many revelations since she debuted and became famous, although this time the material actually raised her hand, but the goals pursued are all the same...... It is...... Constant exposure. ”

Yao Qingtao also said what she thought in her heart.

Although He Tianran doesn't want to speculate on others with his dark side, this circle is like this.

In order to have a topic, in order to continue to be exposed......

In order, the red ......

To a large extent, it is better to have means than no means.

"By the way, Wen Liang, has she had any recent dramas? Or an announcement or something. ”

He Tianran suddenly asked, Yao Qingtao recalled for a moment and said:

"Her most recent drama was broadcast in February at the beginning of the year, and it didn't make any splashes, if you announce it...... We set a shooting time with the artist two months ago, and they said...... Wen Liang has had time recently, so we can ...... according to our plan Hiss...... I still don't hear this kind of thing very often, she hasn't started work in the last few months, right? ”

He Tianran thoughtfully:

"It's possible, I heard a friend say that Wen Liang's contract with Li Lan is about to expire recently, and now she has so much black material, and she likes to do this, except for their company's own plays, which regular crew dares to use her, it's just a scandal if you break the scandal, one day there will be tax evasion, there is a problem with the style of life, and the whole crew will have to be buried directly."

"Is that all there is to it? Or should I communicate with Sister Lan? ”

"I can't communicate, I can shake this pot no matter how I ......"

He Tianran pinched his eyebrows and changed the topic:

"By the way, what about Sunset?"

"Didn't you tell him to take a vacation yesterday?"

“…… Did he contact Mr. Aliu? Today's script will be. ”

"I confirmed with Mr. Aliu that others came over in the afternoon, and I also told our screenwriter colleagues in the morning."

"Great! Sister Peach, this company can't live without you. ”

"You don't come much, and I haven't seen you share shares with me at the end of the year or something."

After a few words with Yao Qingtao, He Tianran's mood improved a lot.

At this time, the mobile phone in He Tianran's pocket suddenly vibrate, and he took it out to see that it was an unknown number, but the order of the numbers was a little familiar.

He hesitated, then put it in his ear.

The opposite side is straight to the point.

"Hey, He Tianran, can I go to your company now and take a look at the footage shot yesterday?"

“…… Who are you? ”

"I'm cold! No, I only called you yesterday, and you didn't save my phone number......"

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, He Tianran snapped and hung up the phone.
