Chapter Ninety-Nine: This Is Life (Part II)
"Today, your mother came to Shanhai for a meeting, originally I wanted to say that I would find a place to have dinner with her in the evening, but she said that I would have dinner with you in the evening, and I wondered why you didn't call me for dinner, so I came with me after the meeting."
He Panshan turned on the faucet, brushed the pot neatly, raised his chin towards the steaming casserole on the other side of the stove, and continued:
"Tonight, your kid has a good mouth, Ai Qing specially brought a casserole from her house in order to make a soup, and when I didn't come back with your mother, people were already busy at home, knowing that your kid likes to smoke recently, this time it's still Qinghuo soup."
He Tianran was originally helping to prepare the accessories for the next dish, but when he heard this, he opened the casserole, and it was immediately fragrant, and it was indeed a pork bone soup with overlord flower lily that cleared the lungs and moistened the dryness.
The father's face-to-face banter and the girl's careful preparation made He Tianran feel happy and sweet at the same time, but also a little embarrassed, at this time, Cao Aiqing had already sorted out the ingredients she had bought before and put them in the refrigerator, she walked over, naturally took the kitchen knife in the man's hand, and said softly:
"I'll come, Uncle He still has two dishes to cook, I know how to help him."
He Tianran handed over the knife and whispered embarrassedly beside him:
"I don't smoke any paper cigarettes now, and I only occasionally smack an e-cigarette."
Cao Aiqing smiled when he heard this.
"I know~"
In fact, the man didn't lie, it has been two months since Cao Aiqing returned to China, knowing that the other party doesn't like people around him to smoke, He Tianran immediately quit paper cigarettes, and never smoked once in front of a girl, although he has not smoked for a long time, and smoking is only a matter of the past two years, but he is still very addicted to smoking, especially when filming.
So this time, people who are familiar with him feel a little incredible.
"It's good, now my hair is black, and I have quit smoking, so even I am a little uncomfortable, so in the end, there is still a bad person around you kid."
He Tianran's heart tightened, his father said this on purpose, his son's original white hair was blackened again because of the careful care of Wen Liang this girl in the crew, he knew about it, and now it seems that he said it casually, and he has a little bit of a bad taste of wanting to see He Tianran's embarrassed appearance.
Fortunately, Cao Aiqing didn't know about it, He Tianran's white hair she had said a few times before, this time she came back to see him return to normal, at first I thought that the other party knew that he was coming back, so he deliberately went to dye black, and then asked, knowing that it was all dependent on food and medicine for more than half a year, and it was also a good thing for her lover to know how to take care of herself, and the girl was very relieved to know it.
"Hahahaha......"
He Tianran laughed dryly, he didn't know how to pick it up.
"Aunt Bai, Director He~I'm bringing you wine~!"
Fortunately, at this time, a woman's voice came from the door, interrupting He Tianran's embarrassment, Cao Aiqing stopped looking at him in his hand, He Tianran took two steps with his legs, and saw Bai Lingye, who had not been seen for a long time, with a smile on his face, dragging a suitcase in one hand, a bottle of red wine in the other, and a neck guard around his neck, followed by a young assistant, who looked like he was going on a business trip.
Seeing this, He Tianran asked curiously, "Where are you flying today?" ”
Bai Lingye didn't answer, but took the lead in quipping: "Oh, Director He, you really don't care about me at all, it's really a generation of newcomers who are better than old people." ”
"She's going to fly to the capital in an hour and a half, and there's an audition and event over there tomorrow."
Bai Wenyu walked over, took the red wine sent by Bai Lingye, and said to the other party:
"I'll help you over there, call me before meeting the director, this time the trip is in a hurry, we'll make an appointment when you come back."
"Oh, little problem, Aunt Bai. Ai Qing, I'll go~! ”
Bai Lingye shouted to the inner room, and Cao Aiqing, who couldn't leave the kitchen for the time being, replied:
"Reiye, don't you want to stay for a meal?"
"No, I'll be on the plane for a while, next time~"
Cao Aiqing often comes to the place where He Tianran lives after returning to China, and inevitably meets Bai Lingye, when she was still abroad earlier, He Tianran often told her about the hottest little flower in the company at present, and men always report various behaviors to Cao Aiqing in front of Bai Lingye, so although the two girls have not seen each other before, they have long been friends, and now they have seen each other, and they are even more familiar at first sight, and soon become close friends in their respective boudoirs.
Bai Lingye said goodbye with a smile, and hurriedly walked away with his assistant, He Tianran closed the door, Bai Wenyu took the red wine in his hand and looked at it, and walked back to the living room.
"Who?"
He Panshan in the kitchen asked.
"The girl you danced with last time, forgot?"
He Tianran fought back against his father's banter.
Sure enough, Bai Wenyu, who was looking at the wine label, glanced at He Panshan, who was cooking, with disdain.
He Panshan was stunned for a moment, and forgot to fry the dishes: "Huh? Dance? Who is it? ”
Bai Wenyu said lightly to He Tianran: "You should learn more from your father in this regard, pretending to be confused that he is a master." ”
"Whew...... I don't need to learn this. ”
He Tianran licked his face, and at this time, Cao Aiqing, who helped to help, followed a casual sentence:
"Yes, you really don't need it~"
He Tianran suddenly stopped saying more, for a while, the sobering of the wine, the cooking of the dishes, the setting of the dishes and chopsticks, everyone performed their duties, it seems that this family of four, whether in the open or in the dark, is "happy".
After another almost twenty minutes, the meal was ready, and Cao Aiqing wore gloves and held a casserole in both hands and placed it in the center of the dining table.
"The dishes are ready, let's go!"
He Tianran picked up the chopsticks and was about to feast, but he was stopped by Cao Aiqing.
"Wait a minute!"
The girl ran to the living room, turned on the projection in the living room, played the "Heart Ambition" that had just been updated today, and after turning down a certain volume, she returned to the dinner table.
He Tianran asked: "Which episode was broadcast today?" ”
Cao Aiqing said unexpectedly: "Episodes 9 and 10, don't you chase your own dramas?" ”
"Whew...... You can't pay attention to this every day. ”
Just kidding, of course He Tianran knows the number of episodes to be broadcast today, and he receives or takes the initiative to check the data and audience feedback of some episodes every day, but out of a sense of shame about his own work in front of his elders, he pretends not to care about it now.
But shame is shame, what I want to talk about at the dinner table at this time is naturally inseparable from today's drama, the film happens to be put on the protagonist group to leave the desert, and is saying goodbye to the desert dancer who is guest starring Bai Lingye, He Panshan took over the topic just now:
"Oh - the person who came just now is Xiao Bai, right, I mean the voice sounds familiar, I haven't seen her much since I saw her at the banquet last time, what has she become like now?"
As the trustee of Shanhai Group, He Panshan naturally would not pay much attention to an artist in the subsidiary.
"The Ambition in the Heart" has received a very good response since it was broadcast, and the popularity has continued to rise, He Panshan is also very happy after getting such data, but in fact, he has watched very little about this drama.
In his words, as long as the grades are good, then everything is fine, as for the content, he, an old man, is indeed not the audience of this show.
Investors have not watched the drama of their own investment, although this situation sounds ridiculous, but for people like them, the numbers presented under the content are the most intuitive investment feedback, and the rest of the art forms and expressions are all floating clouds.
"It's good, now Xiao Bai is the pillar of the company, and she just finished broadcasting an urban drama she filmed last year a while ago, and it became a small hit, and the response was not bad.
A while ago, there was a movie that wanted to find her, and the director and producer privately approached me twice, but in the end I pushed it, and let her go to the costume crew tomorrow to audition, it's not a big problem to win the female one, I will take her to Italy to participate in a show next month, she is now rising very fast, and the female artists with a bit of exotic style in the early years are in their thirties and close to forty, and there are currently such a popular Lingye, those who are under thirty years old, are also unique, and this time the past should be able to talk about some fashion resources. ”
Bai Wenyu talked about the recent arrangements for Bai Lingye, and He Tianran asked after listening:
"What movie did you push?"
"With a bit of nihilistic literary films, the director talked to me for half an hour that day Bi Gan, I listened to it head-on, and showed me some of his previous works, and finally gave me the feeling that it was a waste of my time."
Unlike He Panshan's disinterest, even if Bai Wenyu has not been in the film and television industry before, her years of experience in Europe and related work have given her a high degree of art appreciation, but relatively speaking, this has caused her to become very critical, especially for ordinary people who do not have any works, it is destined to be very difficult to meet her requirements.
Speaking of which, in fact, so far, He Tianran's parents have not commented on the works filmed by their son, He Panshan can say that as long as the film can make money, then everything will be fine.
As for Bai Wenyu, He Tianran knows that this kind of idol film and television drama or commercial genre film is not in the scope of her evaluation.
Or, in Bai Wenyu's view, the films He Tianran is making now, to a greater extent, just something higher than the playing family?
At least that's what He Tianran thinks......
So if I were the director, it is estimated that Bai Wenyu would only get a comment similar to "wasting time......
This pair of parents really rarely praises their son.
"Eat meat~"
Just when He Tianran was secretly thinking about it, there was an extra piece of ribs in the bowl, and at the same time, he listened to a gentle whisper in his ears, and when he raised his eyes, it was Cao Aiqing with a doting smile:
"You seem to have lost a little weight lately, don't you?"
He Tianran touched his face:
"Really? Not really. ”
"I'm feeling a little tired."
"Maybe there's been a lot of things going on in Zhang Luo lately."
He Tianran's heart warmed, put the ribs in his mouth, and continued the topic just now:
"Mom, you pushed that movie, what did Ling Ye say? Has she read the script herself? ”
"I've seen it, but her perception of herself is still quite clear, after filming your "A Thousand Knots of the Heart", she finally ate the dividends brought to her by her appearance and age, this girl can carry her own weight, not so much must be on the big screen to prove her mind, and has always regarded popular film and television dramas as her main battlefield."
He Tianran nodded, and a little regretful, and said:
"Senior sister still has acting skills, but she has been using them on this kind of idol theme, and she has not been able to continue to polish it, which is a bit of a waste of time."
"Wasted?"
Bai Wenyu laughed noncommittally:
"Everyone has their own ambitions, Bai Lingye's income to the company last year was more than ten times that of Wen Liang and other artists in the company, do you think this is a waste?"
He Panshan, who had been listening on the side, let out a "whoosh" sound from his mouth at this time:
"It's okay to look at Xiaobai this way, what dividends can be given a little more, if the company only has such a unipolar artist now, my personal suggestion is that you can set up a studio for her alone, and match the preferential treatment and resources that these people should have, so that people's hearts will be stable......"
"I've already discussed with Li Lan, and I'll talk to her once she finishes this audition."
The former couple seemed to be full of tacit understanding during the conversation, He Panshan put a piece of braised mountain in his mouth, chewed and thought about it, and added:
"But there has never been a big company, which is supported by one person, if you can't talk to Xiao Bai one day, or if there is something to deliberately mess with you, and finally the pillar jumps, then it is really troublesome."
Bai Wenyu naturally understood the meaning of the other party's words, turned her head unhurriedly, and asked Cao Aiqing with a smile:
"Ai Qing, you follow the drama every day, do you know who the most popular character is now?"
"Yes...... Sui Chulang, right? ”
Cao Aiqing guessed.
Now the drama is only broadcast to the early stage, and many wonderful plots are still advancing, Sui Chulang, as the male lead, is naturally the most concerned one at present.
"No, guess."
"That'...... Is it lukewarm? ”
Although the cool plot has not yet reached the real brilliance, and the scenes in the first ten episodes are not as good as the heroine Gu Qiaoman, but its discussion is no less than that of the other party......
"Half counted."
"Half?"
"Yes, half.
At this time, the most popular is a female artist named Su Xiaotong in our company, not long ago she participated in a penguin women's group talent show, the show is currently in the white-hot stage, Xiaotong's online voting results have always been in the top three, and the company threw a lot of money at her. ”
Speaking of this, Cao Aiqing had an impression, and she was very surprised:
"It's the ...... Is the maid by Wen Liang's side? She appeared in the first and second episodes for less than ten minutes, and she appeared with Wen Liang every time...... It's a role like the fourth female, right? ”
Bai Wenyu nodded:
"That's right, many of her fans went to watch this drama for her, and because of the role, they will definitely see Wen Liang, so this wave of traffic in Xiaotong's draft can be regarded as giving Wen Liang a little bit."
He Tianran laughed:
"If Xiaotong needs an assistant guest in that talent show, Wen Liang has to go anyway."
The people at the table laughed, and He Panshan asked casually:
"What about Xiao Wen, she was filming last year, and now her popularity is growing, what arrangements do you have for her?"
Bai Wenyu said slowly:
""The Ambition in the Heart" has not been broadcast yet, the popularity has not passed, and her salary should rise a little after the broadcast, so the audition has not been arranged for the time being, but she has had a lot of small announcements recently, and several variety shows are considered short-term, and recording an issue is considered a hot issue.
Today I went to the company for a meeting, and specially docked with the colleague in charge of the surfing line, although "The Ambition of the Heart" has been launched, but there are still too few video projects on the platform, and the colleague over there said that there are several self-made variety shows that have been approved, and the outsourcing team of production has been found, I want Xiao Wen to go to one of the variety shows as a resident guest for a season to ensure a long-term exposure.
Naturally, you should know this a little better than me, right? ”
The work project involving production has always been controlled by He Tianran, of course he knows that the surfing line is going to launch a self-made variety show, after all, all the video business there is uniformly distributed to future production, and then transferred by him.
"You want Wen Liang to be a resident guest in the self-made variety show of the surfing line?!"
He Tianran was very surprised, and his expression was a little unnatural.
"What's wrong with producing and selling your own products?"
Bai Wenyu's expression was as usual, and He Tianran accentuated his tone:
"But this time, the self-made variety show that meets the warm and cool schedule, and has been approved, can be filmed, is a love variety!" (End of chapter)
