Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Daily Life of the Crew: There Is No Smoke Between Women (Part II)
"Happy New Year."
Wen Liang replied, but the wine glasses held by the two women in the air did not mean to be raised at all.
As an actor, Gu Qiaoman's help to block the director's wine, although his behavior was unexpected and reasonable, but in such a situation, He Tianran, who knew too much about the inside story, broke out in a cold sweat......
Even after the crew trained and started filming in a closed manner, He Tianran has been trying to ease the relationship between Wen Liang and these old classmates in the past, but the matter of "breaking the mirror and reuniting" itself cannot be achieved through the wishes of individual people, let alone in an environment where the crew has clear hierarchies and prominent interests.
The superficial harmony between the individual members of the crew is completely because of the pressure of Ariga's nature, and why Wen Liang was chosen for the same drama at the beginning, but in the end it was changed to Gu Qiaoman; In the face of old love, they treat each other as air on the scene, and now they are still blocking the director in front of each other, these old grievances still exist, it doesn't mean that everyone is working together, these are over.
After all, what drives this group of people together is interests, opportunities, not reconciliation.
The atmosphere between the two women was slightly stagnant.
He Tianran first looked at Cai Cianming, who was standing aside with a toast just now, and the other party looked at Gu Qiaoman with a trace of complexity and strangeness in his eyes, and was silent.
After a pause for a few seconds, He Tianran put aside Gu Qiaoman's wine glass, pretended to be drunk, and smiled at her and said:
"Ouch Xiaoman, where is this, underestimate me! Your director hasn't gotten to the point where he's going to get out of the air. ”
As he spoke, as if he wanted to prove his drinking, he couldn't wait to slam his glass with Wen Liang, but before the other party could react, he raised his head and drank the wine.
This is not the end, he was in high spirits, turned his head to the entire venue and said in a heroic voice:
"The groups haven't drunk with me yet, hurry up, why don't you pretend to be dead when you get the red envelope, today is the New Year, everyone must drink and have fun——!"
"Come on, come on, He Dao Niu beep~!"
"Dao'er, just wait for your words!"
"Come on, come on, the brothers stand up and serve Director He today!"
……
As soon as this "bold words" came out, the venue suddenly responded from all directions, and everyone was excited after watching the trailer, but seeing He Tianran sitting at the main table to accompany the investors, he didn't have time to toast and thank him for a while, and now this young director has begun to urge, and the people who already have this heart, especially the bosses of each group, can still sit there?
For a while, more than a dozen people rushed in front of He Tianran, and people came over one after another, and even the old guys who often mingled in such occasions praised the young director's good drinking.
Fortunately, the director team led by He Tianran also had more than 20 people to help block it, and everyone stood and pushed each other's glasses, talking about New Year's wishes and each other's performance at work, and the banquet hall was lively for a while.
"This guy really thinks he is a Linghu ......"
Wen Liang looked at He Tianran, who was surrounded by everyone, his brows furrowed, and he complained softly.
Afterwards, she drank the wine in her own glass.
Gu Qiaoman, who was originally standing up, was squeezed by the gradually crowded crowd and sat down again, and she couldn't stop this battle if she wanted to......
In the crowd, a sight made Gu Qiaoman feel like a man's back, she turned her head slightly, and saw Cai Cianming standing in the crowd staring at herself with some loss......
She subconsciously staggered her gaze and turned her head, but the other party's gaze made her look like a man.
After a while, she said something to the agent who was accompanying the wine next to her as usual, and then Shi Shiran left the table and walked towards the door, and Cai Cianming saw this, and followed after a distance.
Wen Liang, who was outside the crowd, looked at the scene of the two of them, sighed slightly, and returned to his seat.
The atmosphere of the New Year's party came to a climax under the guidance of He Tianran, the time came to more than 10 o'clock unconsciously, and the crew was waiting for the arrival of the New Year in the early morning.
Wen Liang, who was full of wine and food, saw that many people occasionally took out their mobile phones to look at them while talking about wine, and then realized that they had not had time to greet their families at night, and they chatted in the family group during the day, and it was really a sin to have such an important day as Chinese New Year's Eve.
So she also took out her mobile phone, the banquet hall was too noisy, and she walked outside after opening her father's video.
Because she has been living at home when she has not announced, she has been filming for half a year, and her announcements before she met He Tianran are really not much, so she has been at home for a long time in the past few years, and my parents don't seem to think about themselves so much......
A few months ago, because he wanted to terminate the contract, the atmosphere in Wen Liang's family was still tense for a while, but since He Tianran acquired Wen Liang's brokerage company and the crisis was resolved, during this time, Wen Ruian also took Wen's mother to Hainan for his honeymoon, and has not returned to Hong Kong City so far......
"Hey baby, my mother and I are visiting the night market, you see, we will walk to the hotel beach in a while, and there will be a New Year's bonfire party in the evening."
In the video, a five-year-old man holding a coconut with a straw in one hand, and a mobile phone in the other hand turned around, the night market opposite was crowded, because of Wen Rui'an's height, the camera was on top of someone's head, and beside him, a middle-aged woman who was also holding a coconut looked at him with disgust......
"Happy New Year, Mom and Dad......"
These two people actually left themselves to go out together!
Wen Liang finally squeezed out a sentence in his mouth.
"Happy and happy, do you want to say something to your daughter?"
Wen Ruian turned his head to ask his wife, Wen Liang only heard what his mother outside the camera said:
"Don't say it, you can just pass a few words, this shopping is good, it's almost hanging."
"Mom——!"
Wen Liang couldn't help but shout at his phone.
The girl's mother finally took the phone, and her serious face of "motherhood in the world" appeared in the video, and after glancing at her daughter, she asked in the first sentence:
"Wen Liang, are you alone?"
"Or else!"
"Where's He Dao'er?"
"Mom, I'm on a video call with you!"
"I saw it, oh, you can answer whatever I ask you, okay, why is it so troublesome to talk to this girl of you, let me ask you He Dao'er?"
“…… Drink with people in the hotel! ”
"Then you didn't go to toast, others took care of you so much, and ran out alone."
It was really unbearable warmth, and said angrily: "Tang Mianyue, you just care about your daughter......
"What do you call me?"
“…… Mother. ”
"If I hadn't been through my phone, I would have slapped you away with a slap, believe it or not...... This big guy is up...... Oh, I know what you want, your father and your mother are getting along, you have to work hard in the crew...... People should know how to be grateful...... You see that Director He values you so much, don't let people down...... Well, Happy New Year, Mom and Dad miss you too...... Don't don't, we won't take you next time you come out, you're old, it's time for your boyfriend to take you out to play...... There's really no one to try to ask for a date, maybe...... Okay, okay, you can do it yourself, we didn't rush you...... Have you brought enough things with the crew, do you want me to send you some when I go back...... Well, come on, hang up. ”
Wen's mother, who quickly hung up the phone at the beginning, said a lot after receiving the phone, and the video call was finally fixed in the picture of her parents in the same frame, and Wen Liang's heart was warm after hanging up the phone.
Since the last time He Tianran sent the wine home, his parents' impression of him was quite good, especially his mother, who would ask every other time, but it was normal to think about it, after all, so many things happened later, and in his career, he began to take off......
Thinking of He Tianran's funny and embarrassed appearance in his own home, Wen Liang couldn't help but put a light smile on his lips, and laughed out loud "hey".
"As I said, it's over between us, you don't care what I've become now, I know this better than you! We've been out for a long time, you go back, I want to be alone for a while, thank you. ”
A woman's cold voice pulled the cold thoughts back.
She came to her senses and realized that she had unknowingly walked outside the hotel when she was on the phone.
The foundation of this hotel is very high, one or twenty steps in front of the door, fenced on both sides, the road in front of the door because it is Chinese New Year's Eve without vehicles and pedestrians, it seems a little cold, and not far from here is a square.
Wen Liang followed the prestige and saw a woman standing against the railing, and a figure behind her paused for a few seconds, then turned away.
It's Cai Cianming and Gu Qiaoman.
Who would have thought that this pair of beautiful people, who have been together since college, would end up like this?
Wen Liang looked at Cai Cianming's dejected figure, and could only let out a silent sigh......
She thought about it, but slowly went up and walked to Gu Qiaoman's side, the other party's expression was slightly moved after she found her arrival, but in this cold night breeze, the two girls looked at each other by the railing, and were silent for a while.
After a while, Gu Qiaoman hung his head and whispered softly:
"I was able to squeeze you out, and I did use some means, but you are not qualified to laugh at me......"
“……”
Wen Liang looked sideways at Gu Qiaoman, she didn't speak, but the sympathy on her face said everything.
"Do you still remember the days when we did morning work together in film school?"
“…… Remember. ”
"Every day, you wake us up, and then a few girls in the dormitory are always grinding, that's when we still joke, and call you 'husband' when we open and close, and envy those male classmates in the class to the point that we can't do it......"
Wen Liang smiled slightly, and Gu Qiaoman continued in a look of reminiscence:
"In my impression, you have presided over every morning work very well, and you are also the only class leader who insists on doing work from freshman to senior, that is, I not only regard you as a friend, but also as a role model......"
"Ling'er, we can always be friends......"
The girl, whose real name is Gu Ling, shook her head, "If we had been friends, I wouldn't be able to go today." ”
“……”
"I remember when Mr. Long gave us a play, he always liked to come to find someone when we were doing morning work, so I never dared to miss once, but when those casting directors and producers walked in front of me and always stopped in front of you, I would think, why can't it be me? Why is this the case every time?
It's like a play, you are the main actor in that period, God will light you up, and we stand by your side, like a group of supporting characters without makeup, as a foil. ”
"Ling'er, there is no so-called protagonist and supporting role in life......"
"So I don't want to be friends with you anymore......" Gu Qiaoman raised his head and looked directly at Wen Liangdao, "So I don't want to stand by your side anymore." ”
After saying these two sentences, she seemed to confide in the resentment that had accumulated in her heart for a long time, and smiled lightly, "Fortunately, that childish period has passed, and after leaving school, I have more opportunities to ......"
Wen Liang frowned, "The opportunities you said are those unsightly tricks?" ”
"I said you are not qualified to laugh at me, Wen Liang!"
Gu Qiaoman was suddenly annoyed, but immediately regained his relaxed expression and said slowly:
"These are some of the rules in this circle, haven't you experienced enough in the past few years? Wen Liang, not everyone is going to revolve around you, after coming into the society, we all rely on our abilities, you see how many of the classmates who were good friends with you in the class are still in contact with you?
By the way, Sui Chulang liked you so much when he was in college, have you seen him help you in the past few years? Now in the same crew, in addition to filming, has he spoken to you?
To be honest, I didn't believe the black material you have made in the past few years, because I know your personality too well, if you have this kind of awareness, then the protagonist of that play will not be me......
However, it's not too late for you to realize. ”
Wen Liang heard the meaning of the other party's words, "Do you think we are the same people now?" ”
Gu Qiaoman said arrogantly:
"Isn't it? What kind of relationship do you have with Director He, do you think so many people in the crew can't see it? Based on your previous situation, why you appeared in this drama, and why you got such an important role, you should know better than me.
It's just that the only thing I don't understand is that Wen Liang is really lucky, you can always meet those who favor you at different times, this is the case with Teacher Long in the university, and the same is true for He Tianran now. ”
In the face of these sarcastic words, it also came from the mouth of a former friend, Wen Liang closed his eyes, suppressed his emotions, and spit out a breath of turbidity......
"Ling'er...... It's not my luck, you've had people who have favored you......"
Gu Ling was stunned.
"It's just that you gave up."
Wen Liang reopened his eyes and said a sentence that made Gu Qiaoman feel like he was facing a nightmare:
"Gu Ling, I don't care what you think of me now, but I still have to advise you, since you also know that we have our own paths to go in life, then you can't classify me as a fellow traveler like you, because in the past, you felt that I was on that road, and you stayed by my side and thought that this road was not working, so now you have pulled me to the same road, do you think...... Do you still have a way to go? ”
