After learning that the band was about to disband, He Tianran asked Hu Yue about the band's past in detail.
When the world is without him, the establishment of the INTERESTING band is more due to Wen Liang's interest in music. He Tianran knew that Wen Liang would like to play these things, and organizing the band was just to suit his liking.
But without him, the band's development would be different.
INTERESTING first became popular on the Internet with a few covers of Wenliang's songs, including the song "The Rose Thief". However, since it is not original in the real world, the band's influence has always been limited. Later, although He has released some original songs, but the discussion has always been about Wenliang, not the work itself.
This problem already existed when He Tianran was still there. It was just that he plagiarized a few hit songs from memory at that time, giving fans the illusion that the band's creative ability matched Wen Liang's strength. Moreover, the lead singer and guitarist are a couple, and they complement each other and achieve mutual success, so the problem never broke out.
Now that Wen Liang has returned to the normal world, without the memory of He Tianran and the future, most situations have been rewritten. Wen Liang's desire to live in a multi-dimensional development is still unrealistic based on the current situation, and singing is more like her hobby. Acting is her main job, so the disbandment of the band will happen sooner or later.
But the good news is that in this world without He Tianran, Wen Liang will still form a band according to her hobbies and shoot that movie, but she will not sign with a company early, enter the entertainment industry, and embark on the tragedy that was initially hidden. .
This also means that Wen Liang's fate is not that everything has returned to its original point, but that it has embarked on another bright road!
I really changed the future!
These changes or things that have not changed, when you think about it, it is more like a good ending that has been achieved after a lot of hard work, hundreds of reincarnations, and atonement for sins. If after liberation, you have to start all over again, then it will be a happy ending. It’s really hard to find justice.
Thinking that his efforts were not in vain, He Tianran was filled with joy...
Even though no one in this world knows him anymore, and everything he has experienced has disappeared, he no longer wants to ask for more...
It is really enough for Wen Liang to live in such a world...
"What do you mean, Brother A, you came to make a guest appearance, and you came to help without even mentioning the money. This is also a coincidence. Otherwise, after we finish filming in the afternoon, we will take you to the scene to see it? By the way, I can get you a picture. Sign something~"
Hu Yue suggested enthusiastically.
"go to the scene?"
"yes."
"Will...will I see Wen Liang?"
"Of course, otherwise why would we take you there? And it's not just for watching. If she's free, you can chat with her for a while."
Hu Yue saw that the other party's body was tense, his face was awkward and frightened, and he even seemed speechless. He laughed and took the opportunity to joke and continued:
"Don't worry, it's rare for our crew to get together today. We originally planned to go directly to the livehouse to watch the show after filming the last few scenes. We usually don't need tickets to go to that store. Their boss is the drummer of the band. We have a close relationship with our brothers, and we usually call him uncle, so it’s not a big deal that you are here.”
Hu Xiucai said this because he wanted the man in front of him to relax. It was strange to see many celebrities in the film academy, but for ordinary people, it is understandable to be a little panicked.
After all, as an actor, Wen Liang is currently the most promising actress in the domestic entertainment industry, with both good looks and acting skills. Although she personally failed to win anything at the Venice Film Festival last year, she won the domestic Academy Awards. Nominated for Best Actress and Best Newcomer.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, it should be a good opportunity for fans to have close contact with their idols. However, He Tianran gave an unexpected answer. After the initial hesitation, he shook his head and said:
"Forget it, you can just bring me in and listen to the music, or you can just give me a ticket and I can go by myself."
"Ah, why? Don't you want to get up close and personal with idols?"
Hu Yue was puzzled.
He Tianran calmed down his mood and said with a smile:
"It's better to keep a distance. Isn't this the basic quality of a fan? And signing autographs and chatting... It really doesn't mean much to me. I might as well watch her performance quietly."
"...Tsk, it's true, Brother Xiaojia, you're so particular!"
After hearing the explanation, Hu Yue gave a thumbs up gesture.
After this chat, Hu Yue really liked the "Brother Xiao Jia" in front of him. He felt that he was a down-to-earth person and his speech was to his liking, especially the words "keep a distance". Seeing how he reacted so much when he heard Wen Liang's name a second ago, It's really admirable to be able to say such a self-possessed and rational speech afterwards.
Does He Tianran want to see Wen Liang?
I think this is the main reason why he came to this black and white world.
But he once told Cao Aiqing that if he saw Wen Liang again, he would deliberately avoid it.
This is of course true, and it happens right now.
In the final analysis, it was because He Tianran no longer knew what image to use to face Wen Liang.
Do you treat yourself completely as a stranger, and then pretend to be excited and greet the little actress who is on the verge of becoming famous, expressing your love and admiration?
If this were the case, it would only be a kind of suffering for He Tianran...
Why should we cruelly tear open a scabbed wound?
Therefore, He Tianran felt that it was enough to know that Wen Liang was doing well and to see the scars in her life heal.
"Cai Juming, are you done yet?!"
Suddenly, a female voice yelled from the black box theater, suddenly interrupting He Tianran's melancholy.
The two people 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 done yet? If you can't act well yourself, why don't you let others say yes?"
"Are you the director? But you have the final say? Can't you just watch your own camera?!"
…
On the stage, Cai Jueming and Gu Ling had some verbal disputes, and one of them was the lead actor and the other was the photographer. Without anyone, the small crew would have to stop. Although the junior students who were helping were there to persuade them, However, their tempers were so high that ordinary attempts to persuade them were of no avail.
"Yes, here we go again."
Seeing this scene, Hu Yue patted his forehead with one hand and put his hand on his waist, saying helplessly.
He Tianran glanced around. In addition to the crew on the stage, Li Wang was talking on the phone in the corner with an annoyed expression on his face. He didn't know what he was saying to the person on the phone.
"Aren't you going to persuade me?"
He Tianran said worriedly.
"I can't persuade them. Both of them have emotions. It's hard to meet them once but they still behave like this. After the last filming, they had a fight at the end of the meal. Today's reshoot is still the same."
Hu Yue said so, but he still stepped forward and pulled Cai Jueming away to prevent the conflict between the two from escalating.
He Tianran's current identity is said to be a guest appearance, but in fact it is just a one-man package. He has no connection with this group of friends now, so there is no use in rushing up, so he can only find a seat to sit down and wait. After all, it is not easy to make a noise in this situation. It didn't look good. The two had a quarrel for a while, and after they separated, they started the cold war mode.
The atmosphere in the crew dropped to freezing point when these two made such a fuss.
At this time, Li Wang hung up the phone and walked to He Tianran. There was a sense of tiredness in his words, but he still asked patiently:
"Brother Xiao Jia, did Hu Yue explain his tricks to you just now? It's your turn next."
He Tianran was in a bad mood. He had just been chatting with Hu Yue about the current situation of the audience, and suddenly forgot about the serious matter...
"Uh... Mr. Director, please forgive me. It's my first time acting, so I didn't understand it clearly just now. Please tell me again."
Li Wang sighed.
"Oh... Okay, Brother Jia, your scene will be like this later..."
As a director, he is really desperate.
This is actually not his fault. Who would have thought that the friends he found at the beginning would cause trouble for him at this juncture?
Li Wang's personality and directing style on the set are just like this. He can be very patient and take the trouble to break down a scene. It's not like he has never been to a large set. It's not like he doesn't understand the coordination and management of various departments. He just encountered it. In a situation like this, it is inevitable to be blind.
After all, there is a difference between paying someone to do things and asking a few brothers to work together. In the former, things can't be done, and you can scold or change them. But in the latter, it is difficult to open your mouth and it will affect the relationship. Sometimes you have to be considerate of others.
There is no way, since you have to be considerate of others, you can only put the pressure on yourself.
Afterwards, Li Wang told He Tianran about the role he was going to play. In one sentence, the heroine played by Gu Ling came to the theater for an interview. After the performance, the director played by him gave her approval.
As an actor, his scene is very simple, but the difficulty of this scene lies in the movement of the camera. This is a long shot. After the camera follows Gu Ling on the stage, it has to zoom in directly to the half-body of the character off the stage. In the close-up shot, there will be no post-production editing points in between, so this will test the photographer's skills.
After He Tianran listened to Li Wang's arrangements, he couldn't help but said: "The emotions to be expressed in this shot are very heavy. What if..."
"Brother Xiao Jia, your mission is very simple. You don't need to think about other things."
Li Wang interrupted his subsequent speech.
There are already enough people on the crew with problems. Li Wang really doesn't want anyone to give opinions anymore. Thank God that everyone can do their own thing well.
He Tianran noticed the irritation between Li Wang's brows and consciously shut up.
There really is no need for two talkers on a set.
After a while, under the auspices and urging of Li Wang, Cai Jueming and Gu Ling temporarily put down their anger. He Tianran sat in the designated seat, and a primary school girl who came to help simply put on makeup for him, and then A radio microphone was hidden in his collar.
The crew did not have a separate lighting engineer, it was all under the sole control of Cai Jueming. Since this shot was very long, many scenes were taken, so in order to prevent confusion, the position of the lighting was adjusted for a while, and the staff consciously hid it. got up.
When everything was ready, everyone officially entered shooting mode as Li Wang took action behind the scenes.
It was just the first time that the camera was opened, and the camera followed Gu Ling around for several times. Before it was He Tianran's turn to express his voice, Li Wang hurriedly shouted stop.
"Lao Cai, don't loosen up that scene of yours. You locked the characters too tightly, and your camera moved too fast. Slow it down and try it again."
Li Wang, who was hiding in the corner of the theater and sitting behind the monitor, shouted loudly.
The actors returned to their seats. Now the only person visible in the small theater was He Tianran. He adjusted his sitting posture and tried his best to find a state of being in the play.
It started again. I don’t know if it was a subconscious move. When the camera came around Gu Ling, the girl couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the camera. This move was so big that even He Tianran in the audience noticed it, let alone sitting on the monitor. former director.
"stop!"
"Sorry, Director Li, I'll do it again."
Gu Ling knew she had made a mistake, so she took the initiative to admit it and started walking back.
"You roll your eyes right at me."
Cai Jueming, who was holding a camera, said lightly with resentment.
"Don't get too close to me, Teacher Cai. Just now the director also said that the scene should be looser. This is not a close-up."
Gu Ling teased as she hid the needle in her cotton wool.
I don't know if Li Wang heard their conversation, but He Tianran, who was sitting in the audience watching them, heard it clearly.
From the time they fell in love at first sight to the time they hate each other now, He Tianran still remembered Cai Jueming dancing like crazy in the dormitory, saying that the woman he was destined to be in this life was Gu Ling, and he even told them their horoscopes. I'll give it to my grandpa in Beijing and ask him to help me do the math.
Seeing that their current relationship was so disgusting, He Tianran also felt sad.
Once reality is stretched and spread out, crushed and sprinkled into the details of life, it really ceases to be a thing.
The two had been arguing before, and they probably had forgotten the positioning between the actors and the camera. They repeated this several times before they finally became proficient.
Gu Ling performed a dance on the stage. In the script, she was a dancer who longed for success and recognition, but her constant failures made her feel discouraged. This interview in the theater was her last attempt. Her dream, because before coming to the interview, she had already bought a ticket back to the small county town.
In fact, at the end of the script, the girl returned to the county after being recognized.
Such an ending is sad, but there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
Because many times getting recognition does not mean 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.
It seems that he can finally write something sad but not sad.
However, no matter how profound the script is, if the actors take a breath, the effect will be greatly reduced.
Cai Jueming controlled the position of the camera, shifting the lens from Gu Ling, who was taking her curtain call, to He Tianran, the director character, and then moved forward step by step, slowly moving to a close-up of him.
However, there was a disappointed expression on He Tianran's face, and he did not say any words of approval for a long time...
Cai Jueming, who was behind the camera, thought he was nervous and had forgotten his lines, so he kept mouthing silent reminders:
"Dude, say something!"
Unexpectedly, He Tianran in the camera shook his head and gestured with his mouth:
"Can't pass."
Cai Jueming was stunned for a moment, and then heard Li Wang shouting to stop.
He put down the camera and finally could speak to He Tianran:
"Brother, this is it. You are a fake director. The director sitting in the corner is the real director. If he doesn't shout stop, you just say the words. You like it or not, but you said it. It doesn’t count.”
He Tianran smiled: "I know."
"Ah, it's okay if you know. Then what, let's do it again. Don't be nervous. This machine is quite heavy, and the scene is very long. I went around in a circle and was exhausted. Let's end it early. I'll rest early. Help me." Just a favor, thank you."
As Cai Jueming spoke, he saw Li Wang walking out from the corner, thinking that he was going to talk to the fake director in front of him. He was about to help explain a few words, but Li Wang walked towards Gu Ling and said that she was in a state of performance just now. Something went wrong.
"That Gu...actress' performance, from the director's point of view, is just unsatisfactory. Director Li didn't say stop just now, probably because he wanted your camera to go through the scheduling completely."
He Tianran said softly.
Cai Jueming looked at Gu Ling on the stage, hesitated for two seconds, and then smiled as if he was gloating.
"Oh, I knew she was going to stretch her hips. She does this every time..."
After saying that, he held the camera and sat next to He Tianran with a tired expression, as if he had nothing to say and said:
"Brother, what's your major? You have some skills..."
"No, just a movie lover."
"You're so humble."
"Actually, I have a way now to get that actress into the mood."
"……What?"
He Tianran didn't answer in a hurry, but waited until Li Wang and Gu Ling over there finished communicating, and then walked towards the two people in the audience.
"Um...Brother Xiaojia, you..."
Li Wang stopped talking, scratched his head and looked at Cai Jueming.
He Tianran continued: "Is it a matter of clothing?"
"Brother Xiaojia, you feel it too."
"Well, for a director of this kind of theater, it would be a bit awkward to wear a suit for an interview. Usually such occasions are more casual. Being too formal is not the style of your industry."
This synchronization of thinking made Li Wang feel much more relaxed, and he agreed:
"Yes, that's how I feel when I see it on the monitor. Then Lao Cai, why don't you change your clothes with Brother Xiao Jia?"
"Okay~ Okay~"
Cai Jueming stood up, took off the shock-absorbing vest of the camera stabilizer, and was about to take off his regular jacket as well, when He Tianran suddenly said:
"Director, how about you ask the photography teacher to play my role?"
Cai Jueming suddenly froze on the spot and stopped moving. This was really a suggestion that was beyond his expectation.
Li Wang paused after hearing this, and a strange expression flashed across his face, but in the end he shook his head helplessly:
"Brother Xiao Jia, this is a good idea, but Lao Cai is the photographer. He is here to make a guest appearance. Who will take the shot?"
Although Li Wang can also shoot, he is the type who puts more emphasis on theory than practice. This shot requires the use of a professional photographic stabilizer like Steadicam. This thing really requires practice, and he also needs to wear a shock-absorbing vest to lend strength. That's fine. Li Wang is very demanding. If he doesn't play well, the shots he takes will be almost boring.
"Since the director thinks this proposal is good, then I can change my job with Teacher Cai. I will shoot and he will act."
He Tianran's words instantly made the two of them look at him in surprise.
"No...man, aren't you a lover?"
"Haha, yes, but I still know a little bit about photography."
He Tianran took the shock-absorbing vest from his hand. Cai Jueming originally wanted to say stop making trouble. If you like to compete with me as a professional, you can't replace it at all.
However, when he saw the other party take off his suit jacket, neatly put on the shock-absorbing vest, and help him correct the horizontal weight of the stabilizer, he suddenly became speechless...
Maybe this person... really knows how to take pictures?
"Director Li, let me walk through the camera positions. Can you take a look?"
He Tianran said confidently.
Just kidding, He Tianran helped Cai Jueming, a sophomore, to shoot his short video project.
Li Wang had been silent just now. This kind of thing would never happen on a large crew, but for him, if someone could step out and help him share the pressure of filming, then his work as a director would be much easier.
And Li Wang felt that He Tianran's previous proposal... was very reliable.
Cai Jueming plays the director who recognizes Gu Ling...
Publicly and privately, this is a very meaningful scene.
"Then...Brother Xiaojia, just...try it."
"OK!"
He Tianran walked to the center of the stage in twos and twos, and Li Wang followed him. Gu Ling in front of the stage was stunned. The two explained to her the change of actors and photography. Cai Jueming seemed to have become Somewhat at a loss, he couldn't help but look at Gu Ling...
The other party seemed to feel something at this time and looked at him.
The eyes of the two people just met in mid-air, and they seemed to have a thousand words to say...
It turned out that the person named Xiao Jia did have two brushes. He quickly adapted to all Li Wang's requirements for this long shot. Director Li, who had been holding it in for a day, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face. Heart smile.
"When the students who will follow the focus wait for me to push the camera to Teacher Cai's face, the focus can be a little blurred first, and then slowly become solid, and it doesn't have to become so fast."
"Yes, that's how it feels. Brother Xiao Jia, when you follow Gu Ling later, the camera can shake a little."
"Breathe more, right? Got it, come on, actor teacher, please step down, and I'll follow you."
"...Hmm! Yes! That's the effect!"
"Director Li..."
"Um?"
"Go and check your monitor. Don't follow me. I'm afraid I'll bump into you when I walk later."
"Ah...right, right."
After some exchanges, Li Wang was satisfied and went back to his little corner to hide. After sitting down, he shouted:
"Brother A, let's take a picture first and try it out!"
A resounding response came from across the stage:
"Okay, come on!"
"Come on, 3, 2, 1, Action."
…
In the monitor, the picture captured by the camera was transmitted to Li Wang's eyes through wireless image transmission. When the person sitting in the audience was replaced by Cai Jueming, her ex-boyfriend, Gu Ling's eyes suddenly changed. This time it was really in full swing.
Li Wang felt happy and emotional at the same time. Suddenly, there were two subtle movements from the left and right behind him, and someone came up behind him.
To his right, a man squatted down and looked at the monitor with him.
Li Wang glanced sideways and saw that it was his girlfriend, Sheng Qidong.
Knowing that filming was taking place now, her girlfriend looked at Gu Ling on the screen and whispered:
"Are they still quarreling? We came over immediately after receiving your call!"
Li Wang smiled and said nothing. When the two had an argument at the scene just now, Li Wang knew that he might not be able to suppress it, so he immediately called for reinforcements.
At this time, he also felt someone bending down to his left, looking at the scene being filmed.
Li Wang's nose first wafted an alluring smell like berries after the rain, and then he whispered in his ears:
"Isn't our Gu Ling doing a pretty good job now? If you quarrel, just quarrel. As long as it doesn't get in the way, your good-for-nothing Teacher Cai should scold you a few more times."
"Yes~!" Sheng Qidong agreed, then covered her mouth.
"..."
This strong statement made several students present who came to help cover their mouths and snicker. Li Wang turned his head with a wry smile...
It was an extremely beautiful woman. She wore a black baseball cap on her head, and her chestnut shoulder-length hair was slightly permed. At this moment, she was bending over, with her hands folded in front of her chest, and a pair of starry eyes staring intently. monitor.
She smoothed her hair. Her bright and extraordinary profile was naturally strong and fierce. This kind of just right aggressiveness was really dangerous and charming. Her appearance was like a slow-moving song that suddenly changed its tune. , no matter who sees it, their heart will beat for no reason.
"The acting is good, right? Just wait, there will be something better."
"Um--"
Li Wang made a riddle, and the woman made a long noncommittal sound from her nose.
As the picture on the monitor changed, the two girls were slightly startled when they discovered that Cai Jueming was sitting under the stage!
"Why is Teacher Cai still on camera?!"
Sheng Qidong covered her mouth, surprised and wanting to laugh.
"Shh, keep your voice down."
Li Wang put his index finger to his lips.
"Wangzi, your idea is quite good. It's time for them to have a chance to face each other, but Cai Jueming is already on the scene. Who is filming this scene?"
The beautiful woman slowly straightened up and asked as she watched the developments on the screen.
Li Wangdao: "A kind-hearted classmate we caught temporarily at the school gate. We originally wanted him to play the director. I didn't expect anyone else to be good at anything. He must be a photography major. It was his suggestion to exchange identities with our teacher Cai." I came up with it after seeing the situation at the scene.”
Hu Yue on the side smiled and added for him: "He does not study photography. The other person is a finance student at the University of Hong Kong next door. Teacher Cai is really embarrassed now..."
After saying this, everyone was stunned. Hu Yue wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Li Wang.
"Hush, Xiucai, please stop talking now. Our teacher Cai is about to start speaking! Look!"
In the camera, Cai Jueming is seen sitting upright and taking deep breaths several times, as if he is the one who is going to be interviewed. He just keeps a few words in his mouth, unable to say them out for a long time. His gentle look makes everyone laugh. Everyone finds it funny.
"Hello~"
Sheng Qidong, who was squatting on the ground, was the first to burst into laughter.
And this laughter seemed to have a chain reaction. Hu Yue, Li Wang, several classmates who participated behind the scenes, and even the girl in the end burst into laughter from weak to strong!
"Quiet!"
A loud roar came from the theater.
Everyone knew that something was wrong and fell silent for a moment. Only the woman was slightly startled when she heard this voice.
"Director, do you want to do it again?"
The shout came again.
"Brother Xiao Jia, let me talk about the drama with our teacher Cai!"
Li Wang stood up and was about to walk out of the corner when he saw a figure rushing in front of him one step ahead of him!
…
In the theater, a man stood in the center of the stage with a camera. He seemed to be reminiscing about the shooting process. He lowered his head and played back the material captured by the camera.
His attire was not that everyday, a suit vest, a white shirt with sleeves rolled up to his forearms, and on top of that, he wore a nondescript shock-absorbing vest.
Some of his hair is white, the color of snow, which is dazzling under the light.
"Little...A?"
An uncertain call made the man's shoulders tremble slightly.
He raised his head and looked...
