After leaving the coffee shop, we came to the set less than thirty meters away. This place was originally a flower shop next to the coffee shop, but the original flower arrangements were very conventional. After the art team set up the scene, the actors were placed among them. , it feels like being surrounded by flowers.
He Tianran followed the assistant and shouted to Yu Hui, who was standing behind the camera and snickering:
"It's just a back shot, Yuhui, don't you want to do it yourself?"
"Maybe Director He, your back looks more handsome."
Cai Jueming, who was adjusting the lights, responded. Yu Hui on the side opened his mouth, hesitated, and glanced in one direction. He Tianran looked towards his line of sight and saw Wen sitting among flowers. Liang was holding his chin and looking at himself.
After the previous conflict, He Tianran suddenly felt a little headache when facing this thorny beauty again.
I don’t know why, Wen Liang behaved and acted like old friends, but the conversation between the two was never on the right axis. He Tianran thought about it carefully and confirmed that the two were friends in high school. Really not that familiar...
If this was just a matter of familiarity and relationship, it wouldn't be like making up a story that doesn't exist, right?
"It's just a chat scene, right? No need to record?" He Tianran stood at the edge and entered the scene in no hurry.
"Yes, there is no need to listen. Director He, just sit opposite Teacher Wen. Later, you can chat casually and say some funny words, and we will take some close-ups or close-up shots. We won't be able to take pictures of your face."
Chen Photography moved the camera position and waited for Cai Jueming to set the light before getting ready to start.
"OK……"
He Tianran felt that Wen Liang had been looking at him, and felt inexplicably in his heart. He walked to the opposite side of the prickly beauty and sat down calmly.
Wen Liang's eyes followed his movements, and then he picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.
"cough."
He Tianran coughed, adjusted his coat with both hands, and then crossed his legs unnaturally.
"Director He, sit upright and face Teacher Wen. If you look sideways like this, the camera will show your face."
Sunset said from behind the monitor.
"...Ah, I know, I know, I see you haven't taken the photo yet."
He Tianran explained awkwardly, turned around stiffly, and came face to face with Wen Liang.
"Director He, are you nervous?"
Wen Liang squinted his crescent moon eyes and said something playfully.
"...I'm not nervous, I'm not nervous. Maybe I'm just not used to being in front of the camera all of a sudden."
"I heard that Director He is also from our film school. Is he a graduate student in the directing department?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"That's weird."
"What's wrong?"
"I also have a few friends from the directing department. They said that the directing department has always had acting classes. Why is it that a graduate student from our school suddenly has such poor professional skills when filming a casual chat scene?"
"..."
For a moment, the set was completely silent.
Everyone was shocked when they heard these sarcastic words.
What's going on...
Is there any personal grudge between Director He and Teacher Wen Liang? The smell of gunpowder is so strong.
He Tianran's brows twitched a few times, and the guys who were familiar with his usual working style on the set held their breaths and felt chills running down their spines.
Even though He Tianran seems to be gentle and polite at this time, he is considerate and polite to the crew, but this is entirely because he is not filming today's film, right?
Yu Hui has the most say on this point. When he was working as the executive director on the crew of "A Thousand Knots of Hearts", he was scolded by He Tianran a lot, and not only him, but also Bai Lingye was scolded and cried by him. Several times, at least the other person is a senior who has entered the film and television industry first, and is also a senior at the same school. He Tianran doesn't hold back any affection when he scolds people, and he is also very tricky in scolding, and he keeps pointing at your sore spots and weaknesses. , until either you put away your weaknesses, or you explode and cry...
This time it’s really...
All I can say is that the bald eagle does not call for nothing.
Sunset swallowed.
The same goes for Teacher Wen. She just suggested asking He Tianran to come out and play with her, saying that the two of them were old friends and they could chat along the way, so he could be more natural...
This is how we chat with old friends, right?
He Tianran was stunned for a few seconds, picked up his sleeves, slowly took off his watch and put it on the table. He did not pay attention to Wen Liang's sarcasm, but turned his head and asked Cai Jueming and Cai Jueming. Photography by Chen.
"Will the things on the table be photographed?"
"Uh... Director, I, I will bring this scene to... let me adjust it?"
Chen Photography suddenly stuttered.
"No, there's a little space on the table. Come on, let's find some potted flowers to put on the table. It's best to have a long-necked bottle filled with water in clear glass. And Brother Dao, please help me bring me a cup of coffee. Come here, so it looks more symmetrical, otherwise the picture will feel weird if she doesn’t have me, thank you.”
After He Tianran gave his instructions, the entire crew started moving immediately. No one dared to delay. He paused for a while and said nothing.
Soon, the staff prepared what He Tianran needed. The art boss showed He Tianran several clusters of flowers of different styles in his hand. Finally, he chose two less eye-catching flowers, gypsophila and hyacinth, to decorate. Together, they moved to a seat behind the table between the two of them, and the shots taken by Chen were indeed much more vivid.
"Is that okay, Yu'er?"
He Tianran did not forget to consult Yu Hui, a real director, for his opinion.
"It's okay, brother, you guys can talk about your story. Our cameras are rolling all the time and we won't call you the beginning. We'll call you when it's over."
"good."
When the camera was turned on, no one dared to speak even if these shots were not recorded.
After finishing everything, He Tianran looked at Wen Liang again. He returned to the topic and smiled:
"Teacher Wen, have I provoked you before? If so, I can apologize to you."
Others were afraid of He Tianran, but this was the first time Wen Liang had cooperated with him, and the girl was also very kind-hearted. She didn't want to give in. She slowly leaned forward and folded her hands naturally on the table.
"Director He, you said you don't even remember, what are you apologizing for?"
Everyone's ears on the set were as straight as antennas, for fear of missing the next conversation between the two. Even if they couldn't understand anything now, the secret between the female artist and the director could be understood even if they didn't understand. Feeling excited!
"How can I remember if you don't tell me?"
"I told you, but you don't admit it."
"Then if it really happened, I would definitely admit it, but I think it might really be a misunderstanding."
"Okay, you're here again, right..."
He Tianran's repeated denials made a look of anger flash across Wen Liang's face, and she thought for a moment.
"Then I'll tell you a few things about you, and you have to answer me honestly."
"Can."
The man didn't even think about it, Wen Liang looked directly into his eyes and said.
"Your favorite movie is "Love Day", right?"
"..."
He Tianran's heart skipped a beat. He really didn't know where he had seen this scene before. He answered truthfully:
"Yes, I have mentioned this movie in many interviews."
Wen Liang added: "Then you said that your favorite comic is "Rogue" by Takehiko Inoue. This is an existence that can match your password. How about it? Can this password still match now?"
"..."
If He Tianran is often asked about his hobbies in movies because of his work in this industry, and it is not unusual for people to know about it, then very few people know about some niche hobbies.
"I used the characters in it to make my WeChat avatar."
He Tianran guessed that Wen Liang had communicated with him in a certain WeChat group, and he could judge this through their profile pictures. After all, they were included in the film school’s celebrity alumni group, and in the Hong Kong City Filmmakers Alliance group, and even There are six to seven hundred people in the Chuishui Group at Zhuguang Lane Film and Television Park. They are all artists, directors and screenwriters, but they just don't know each other or are familiar with each other.
So this circle is so small, it’s really not difficult to get to know someone.
However, there was a "bang" sound in Wen Liang's nasal cavity. Let's not say whether she would pay attention to this. This speculation was obviously a bit forced.
"I don't know who was the one who mentioned these hobbies in a hesitant way, but now he is determined to change his password. It seems that I said your favorite song is "If We Never Met" by Mayday, and you will definitely find it. There are other excuses for me, right?"
Feeling disappointed, Wen Liang pushed with both hands and leaned back towards the back of the chair. This negative emotion, which rarely appeared on the faces of celebrities, was faithfully captured by the camera.
He Tianran was silent for a few seconds.
What Wen Liang said really hit his preference. It would be fine if he just happened to know one, but now he has hit three in a row. Although He Tianran is considered a semi-celebrity, he is not the kind of idol idol. People who want to expose their favorites to fans in categories, so this information is almost impossible to find online.
People who know these hobbies of his are destined to know him very well, and have even told others about it themselves.
But I can’t help but remember this kind of thing...
"Teacher Wen, can I ask you a question?"
"What?"
Just listen to the man say in a deep voice:
"Why are you so obsessed with whether we know each other?"
"..."
As soon as he asked this question, before Wen Liang could reply, He Tianran felt something in a corner next to the street reflecting the sunlight and lighting up.
But when he shifted his gaze and looked over, there was a shadow and nothing there...
"It's not that I'm obsessed with you, it's me who is obsessed with what I believe in..."
Wen Liang seemed to really accept that the "He Tianran" in front of him had forgotten the fact that they had traveled together. If he really remembered, he would not ask such a question.
That year on the misty Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the other party saw his persistence.
Moreover, he also understands his own persistence.
Maybe everyone will experience one or another problem when they grow up. It is said that they are rushing to the next stop in life, but it is still unknown whether the original friends can still go together at the next stop.
In recent years, Wen Liang has also witnessed many people parting ways and going their separate ways. That trip to the snowy mountains was precisely because of He Tianran... or Xiao Jia. During their short time together, she and the other party... I feel the paranoia that I have to turn around even if the mountain is not turning, and I have no choice but to find a way to realize what I want in my heart.
This kind of paranoia is the same as mine.
That's why Wen Liang attaches great importance to this short-term friendship.
She felt they should be the same kind of people.
It is really rare to have a friend who is not too troublesome, not too tired, and can be consistent in actions and steps. Even though the story of the lovelorn male classmate seemed to be just a prank deliberately created to strike up a conversation...
But life is like this many times. People who have walked together before, none of them let go, and the other never let go, but the thread in their hands was still broken after all, and it was unclear, without beginning or end.
What can I say now, whether I really forget or deliberately don't remember, this kind of thing happens a lot for adults in society, and in this circle, it is really not a rare thing.
I'm not obsessed with you...
It’s me who is persistent.
This is the answer given by Wen Liang.
He Tianran was suddenly speechless, because he could feel the determination in Wen Liang's heart when he said these words. It didn't seem like he was lying to himself...
"Director He, it seems that I also knew you. It should have been four years ago..."
At this time, Cai Jueming on the side intervened after taking a shot.
He Tianran and Wen Liang looked at him at the same time.
Cai Jueming frowned and recalled:
"Uh... I think it was around the time of graduation. I forgot the specific date. Anyway, it was the day the Wenliang band disbanded. We were filming our graduation project during the day. I had an argument with my ex-girlfriend at the time, which affected the progress of the filming. Then it happened that I met a guy in a suit and took a picture for me. It turned out that someone else was invited by us to make a guest appearance... Hey! Director He, that person must be you. I mean, why do you look so familiar to me! At that time, you were still I was dragged out to eat by Sister Liang!"
He Tianran was also shocked: "Is this happening?!"
"Yes!" Cai Jueming nodded heavily.
"What happened four years ago...is a bit far away...if it was graduation time..."
He Tianran couldn't figure it out for the moment, but he could still remember the point four years ago. After all, it was the first year when he switched from finance to film and television and established his life goals.
He turned his head and confirmed to Yuhui:
"Yu'er, do you still remember four years ago, when we participated in the college student short film competition and went to the film school to spy on information?"
This incident was also a very important turning point for Yu Hui. He thought for a while, stuck his head out from behind the monitor, and replied:
"Remember, twice, once you went by yourself, and once we went together."
"Ah? Wasn't it once? It was just the two of us. I've never been there alone."
Unexpectedly, Yu Hui waved his hand and confirmed:
"Impossible, I remember it very clearly. I was on duty in the library that day, and you happened to leave your job. I invited you to help us make a short film. You said you wanted to think about it and stop by the film school to see what other serious students are. Then you went to find out how to take pictures, and when you came back the next day and promised me, we went there again."
"Really? Did I wear a suit that day?" He Tianran asked.
Yuhui scratched his head, feeling very embarrassed, "This, how can I remember this... But there is indeed such a thing, it was when you graduated."
Yes, He Tianran was completely confused now, and in Wen Liang's opinion, this scene was a poor performance that even his companions had leaked, but was still forced to dent.
"You came to my disbandment show that day, and I sang your favorite song. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because I realized one of your jokes."
"...a joke? What kind of joke?"
Wen Liang endured it for the last time and reminded her word by word with serious eyes:
"You said, your name is He Tianran, you are twenty-two years old...guess, what is your next sentence?"
