Chapter 14: The Evening Comedy (Part II)
He Tianran called on the people of his company to work together to help Wen Liang find the paparazzi, which made this girl who has always been lonely and tough very moved, and even inadvertently revealed a little bit of the soft side of the girl.
Of course, these things are just a gesture for He Tianran, in fact, what makes him wonder even more is why this kind of thing happened to Wen Liang, Li Lan's agency didn't react at all, although Wen Liang is not as popular as when he debuted, but it was also before Bai Lingye, the little flower promoted by their company is now reduced to a person to investigate this kind of thing, and there is no assistant around to help......
Even if Wen Liang is not popular, at least he is an artist who can make passers-by familiar with him, no matter how snobbish Li Lan is, he will not treat her like this, even during the period when Bai Lingye continued to rush to audition, at least a small agent was responsible for contacting her.
Could it be that the contract is about to expire and you don't want to care about it?
But when I was filming yesterday, what kind of nanny car did their company have, the assistant, and they could make up for her for the cost of an extra photographer, which is not like the treatment that a person who has been left out of the cold should have.
"Wen Liang, you are here, does your company know?"
He Tianran looked at the material, and couldn't figure it out in his mind, so he asked one more question for this.
The girl was silent for two seconds, stared at the computer screen with serious eyes, and said bluntly:
ββ¦β¦ I don't know. β
This girl is really full of personality, is it because the contract renewal is not going well and she has a temper?
Well, if you don't talk about it, you can't help it.
But with a straightforward personality like hers, how to say it, He Tianran actually likes it, actors are also ordinary people, as long as their business ability is up to standard, there is no need to bring the play to real life, it's really weird and tiring, it's good to do whatever you want.
But this thing is strange, if you want to mix in this circle, you must learn to lower your eyebrows and lower your head, yang and yin, and even sometimes be prepared to sacrifice something, your personality is too direct, and you will often eat a nose of ash.
He Tianran has watched warm and cool scenes, and occasionally heard about some of her glorious deeds in the acting profession from the mouths of the teachers of the film academy.
Looking at the scene on the screen where Wen Liang chatted with himself yesterday, and remembering that the other party complained about his acting skills, He Tianran smiled and asked:
"By the way, you should know Mr. Long, who teaches acting at the film school, right?"
Cool down and turn your head:
"I know, our acting class has always been led by Sister Long, why, she also taught you?"
He Tianran nodded slightly:
"When I was in my first year of graduate school, she taught us half a semester of acting classes, I remember a class chat, she mentioned to us some of the students she took, saying that one of them is called Wen Liang, acting is very smart, and the major is not a star and a half among his peers, and she is also the kind of girl who can play both Tsing Yi and Hua Dan in the film academy, the only drawback may be that she is too self-conscious in personality, there is nothing wrong with being an actor, but in today's entertainment industry, she will suffer a lot, she is very worried about you, said that if we directors have filming in the future and lack actors, we can consider you. β
Wen Liang listened in a daze, his eyes showed a look of memory, and he said slowly:
"I didn't expect this kind of fate between us, I remember that when I just graduated, Mr. Long wanted to recommend me to the theater, but I was bent on making movies, going to film and television dramas, to put it bluntly...... I don't want my life to be too ordinary, I want to be popular, I want to see myself on the computer, in the mobile phone, on the big screen of the movie theater, on the platform of the subway bus CBD and on the LED screen of the high-rise building...... Therefore, at that time, I declined Mr. Long's kindness and signed with the current company. β
can hear this very straightforward expression of desire, in the eyes of He Tianran's peers, there is nothing abrupt at all, he said calmly:
"It's normal, if I were you, I guess I would make the same decision. Life, what you choose is meaningful, as for whether it is bitter or sweet, you suffer it yourself, do you regret it? β
Wen Liang shook his head:
"I never regret the decision I made, I'm just afraid of living up to some of my relatives, friends and teachers around me who have been expecting me, and I don't know what Teacher Long will think after knowing my situation in recent years, I am a little sorry for this, as if I have achieved some achievements before graduation, I can't stand her praise for me......"
He Tianran listened quietly, without any extra comfort, but simply suggested:
"If you have a chance, go back to the film school and see her."
ββ¦β¦ Well. β
If it is said that you want to sympathize with Wen Liang, He Tianran does not have this kind of thought, in a situation like her, even if she is not in the entertainment industry, there are countless people in the whole society, and if she thinks that with the strong character of the other party, she will probably not accept the sympathy of others for her.
It's just that after this exchange, which can be regarded as a shallow exchange, the distance between the two of them seems to have narrowed a little closer.
The work of finding clues from the materials continued, the sun completely set, and the company's lights were turned on by Yao Qingtao, half an hour later......
"Come and see, is this person a paparazzi?"
Teacher Aliu's heavy lenses reflected a gleam, she was pleasantly surprised, and everyone left their positions one after another and gathered behind her.
The material she is playing on her computer now is very short, about seven or eight seconds, this is not a shot left during the official shooting, it is just an accidental start-up, and Sunset is talking to Wen Liang about the position and movement for a while.
This kind of waste material, not to mention that it will not be used during editing, and even the scene notes will not record the code of this material in the scene notes, and it is fortunate that it has not been deleted by the photographer.
But it's just such a piece of material that no one else will look at, not far from the lower left corner of the picture, in the shadow of the exit of an alley, a sneaky figure was photographed!
He Tianran took a closer look, this position is the same place as the position where he noticed any reflective objects yesterday!
It's just that yesterday, he didn't see anyone, and the time when this material was filmed should be before he played against Wen Liang......
"It's so dark that I can't see clearly, I can only see an outline, but it's a pity, can you brighten it up?"
Aliu was very excited, and the mouse circled in suspicious places.
"I'm coming, just kidding, the machine used this time is Alyssa MINI, can I see clearly?"
He Tianran leaned over, took the mouse from her, and quickly dragged the material into the editing software, froze a slightly stable frame, and then zoomed in on the part of the picture, called up the RGB curve and pulled it.
These video materials are all 4K,The grayscale mode used when shooting retains the color tolerance of the picture as much as possible,This was originally done for good color grading in the later stage,Now it is He Tiantian so pulled the curve,The original gray alley entrance,Suddenly it was lit up as if it was being directly rayed by the sun,Let all the darkness have nothing to hideγ
Therefore, when candid shooting meets professional, there is no comparison at all, and the pure 4K picture quality is magnified no matter which corner is magnified, it is the same as being clear, like taking a close-up.
I saw that in the picture, a young man with medium-long hair was partial, slightly fat, wearing a mask on his mouth, wearing a black jacket, a pair of brown trousers, a Nikon SLR camera around his neck, and a pair of small eyes were looking at the cool position on the set......
"That's him, right?"
He Tianran enlarged the size of the picture again, and this time directly froze his face.
When a group of girls saw it, they shouted:
"Ah, it's terrifying, I suddenly feel it."
"Yes, yes, I have goosebumps, and I've been stared at in the dark, and I may continue to follow you in the future......"
"Oh, don't say it, it's so obscene...... Ah Liang, take a look, is this person ......?"
Since the fight just now, Wen Liang has stared at the man in the picture, her pupils are slightly dilated, her pretty face is terrifyingly cold, her chest rises and falls, as if she is suppressing anger.
"You...... Know him? β
He Tianran inquired.
It wasn't until a few breaths later that Wen Liang calmed down, nodded emphatically, and then said something that everyone didn't expect.
"I know, he is a colleague in our company's operation department, I have seen him many times, because in the past, those false lace news were all handled by their department......"
ββ¦β¦β
The girls who were denouncing and discussing just now were silent......
The amount of information in this sentence is too great, and even He Tianran has countless thoughts flashing through his mind at this moment.
Wen Liang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled a breath in a deep voice:
"Actually, I had a premonition about this early on, otherwise I wouldn't have arranged for Mr. Cai to help me shoot this time yesterday, I used to ......"
"Cool."
"Huh?"
He Tianran interrupted her speech at the right time, and the girl looked at the man suspiciously, the latter had a serious expression and a little hesitation on his face, but still said:
"Are you sure you want to tell us about this kind of thing that involves your company? Or do you want to take a break now? β
Wen Liang was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then, this always proud girl slowly lowered her eyebrows, she began to be silent, and slowly chewed the information she had gained alone......
In fact, He Tianran had roughly guessed what Wen Liang was going to say, and his meaning was also obvious, he had interests with Li Lan's brokerage company before, and the cooperation during the period was also pleasant, no matter how you said it, there was a bit of friendship, and it was inevitable that they would come into contact again in the future, so it was good to know about their company's family affairs, and the more they knew, it was not necessarily a good thing.
The employees of the company led by Yao Qingtao can understand He Tianran's concerns, but Ah Liu, an otaku girl who writes at home all the year round and has long since cleared her social experience, is not aware of this, and she asked in a loud voice:
"Say! Let's finally find out, why don't we say that we have been wronged? I'm not anyone's employee, so we'll help you if you say it! β
Wen Liang smiled at her gratefully, and then secretly glanced at He Tianran's expression......
At this moment, He Tianran pinched his eyebrows, he obeyed this online god.
"Ahem...... We...... You're all tired, let's eat first, let's eat first. β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Because of the presence of Wen Liang, a star artist, and the time when there were the most people ordering meals, he did not choose to go to a restaurant outside, but stayed in the company and ordered two pots of Haidilao's hot pot takeaway.
On the third floor of Future Productions, there is a rooftop with an excellent view, which can be described as a treasure trove of feng shui for their company, and some employees usually like to run here when they order a meal or smoke a cigarette.
The main thing is that there is a very atmosphere here, the city lights are brilliant at night, you can see the Demojiang Bridge and the bustling Jiangbei CBD high-rise buildings on the other side to the north, the lights will shine on the river surface red, purple, the river ferry from time to time comes a few long whistles, modern city, blurry dream, on this prosperous wine, it is really pleasant.
Because there were a lot of dishes and people participating this time, two takeaway and waiter brothers came, and all the tableware and pot bottoms were readily available.
When He Tianran and a few colleagues brought the drinks and drinks that they hadn't finished at the last company dinner, Yao Qingtao and Ah Liu were ready to go.
"He Dao'er, it's okay, I'll enjoy it! I didn't know that your company had such a place, and the atmosphere and scenery here are very good! β
Ah Liu's eyes were taken away from the shrimp slide under the waiter, and he looked at He Tianran, who was putting down the beer crate, and smiled.
"That's not it, anyway, every summer or when the weather is better, we Director He likes to have a summer night screening on this rooftop, organize a night barbecue and the like, nay, the grill and charcoal have been placed on the rooftop, usually when there are many people like this, order a takeout like this, set up a table, and let us eat on the rooftop together."
Yao Qingtao rubbed her hairy belly and replenished it at the right time.
He Tianran Wu made his own hot pot dipping sauce, looked around, and saw that there were seats next to Wen Liang, so he naturally sat down.
"Teacher Liu, Teacher Wen Liang, can I arrange it? Instead of going out to eat, let's go upstairs and call something to eat, how pleasant it is. β
"Hey, I can see that the boss doesn't like to watch his employees stay in his company even for dinner."
Ah Liu teased him, and a group of people laughed.
He Tianran's eyes rolled, and he also took the opportunity to play treasure: "No, no, no, it's better to say that you prefer to see my handsome appearance of paying for you than I like to see you stay in the company." β
"Ahhh Yes, yes, yes, yes! β
The joyful atmosphere on the rooftop was even stronger, and even the waiter couldn't help laughing.
Originally, Wen Liang was still a little restrained about participating in this kind of dinner party of other people's companies, but after feeling it like this, the originally tense emotions gradually relaxed.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of "takeaway" downstairs, which made He Tianran, who had just sat down, stand up again.
"Did you order anything else?"
Yao Qingtao asked.
"Well, don't move your chopsticks first, wait a while, I'll be back soon!"
He Tianran confessed a sentence, leaving everyone confused, hurriedly went downstairs, and a few minutes later, he came back with a big box, and then put it on the table with a "snap".
Everyone looked at it, and Wen Liang's heart jumped even more when he saw it......
It was a birthday cake......
"Today...... Whose birthday is it? β
Yao Qingtao asked.
"Yes, today is Teacher Wen Liang's birthday!"
He Tianran rightfully pointed at Wen Liang, who had already buried his head, and the latter saw that he couldn't dodge, so he showed an extremely reluctant smile......
"Wow, happy birthday, Mr. Wen Liang!"
"Happy birthday, Ah Liang."
"That's not right, didn't Teacher Wen Liang's birthday be written in February on the encyclopedia?"
"Oh, the information written on that encyclopedia may not be ...... You know, shhhh β
A group of little girls were emotional and sent birthday wishes one after another, He Tianran took out the cake and asked the waiter at Haidilao:
"By the way, don't you customers have to sing a birthday song for their birthday, the whole song!"
Wen Liang's eyes were dark, and people almost didn't faint, and the two waiters were also dedicated, nodding yes again and again, and immediately took out their mobile phones and played background music.
The joyful singing sounded, and everyone was also enthusiastic, clapping their hands and singing to Wen Liang:
Say bye bye to all your worries
Say hi hi to all pleasures
Happy birthday dear dear, every day is wonderful
Watch the flowers of happiness bloom for you~
In an instant, the atmosphere of the scene was extremely happy, under the reflection of the candlelight, Wen Liang covered her face with her hands, she was really ......
The heart of death is gone.
This He is natural......
I'm afraid I'm not deliberately fixing myself, right?
