"If we go by the development of mainland idol dramas, then Director He should feel that this woman, Teacher Wen, is really special."
"What about Korean dramas?"
"In the case of Korean dramas, Director He would not open the door to Teacher Wen at this time. Instead, he would directly drive her away. Then through a series of scenes, he would tell the audience some plot points that they knew but Director He did not know. To put it bluntly, It is a misunderstanding that shows the motive of an event and shapes the character of the character. Anyway, the plot will always go on and the truth will be revealed one day. The audience will also enjoy the God's perspective brought by this information gap and look forward to what will happen next. development of."
"What about American TV series...?"
"As for the American drama, well... Teacher Wen will probably have to crawl into Director He's bed at night, and then there will be more exciting scandals and more explosive conflicts, all fake and real, to whet the audience's appetite."
"..."
On the second floor of the "Future Production" film and television studio, the three female screenwriters and Yao Qingtao who had witnessed the whole process were chattering. After seeing He Tianran and Wen Liang entering the company, their imaginations were opened and they made bold remarks one after another.
No matter how you look at it, this combination of "powerful fox female star Professionals who work in caves will naturally not miss this opportunity to observe life up close.
However, the actual plot was much duller. He Tianran took Wen Liang through everyone's sight again and came to a post-editing station. He briefly explained a few sentences and let Wen Liang sit next to the editor and stare at him. He turned around and went upstairs.
Seeing that such an expandable plot ended in such a hasty manner, He Tianran returned to the second floor. The four girls couldn't get enough and gathered around him to chat.
"Director He, why don't you talk to Wen Liang more?"
"Yes, yes, don't you two have nothing to say? What happened to the scandal this morning? Is it a misunderstanding?"
"It's just...you invite others to sit down. They are not your employees. Why do you arrange for others to sit down?"
"..."
He Tianran really didn't understand how strong the curiosity of these lesbians could be. Or should he put some of his temper on the set into the company, otherwise there would be no deterrent effect at all...
"Everyone, business is important. Let's continue the meeting."
He Tianran said in a serious voice, and several girls calmed down and did not dare to be too presumptuous, so they entered the conference room one after another.
Yao Qingtao, who didn't have to attend the screenwriter meeting, saw what was going on and was about to go downstairs when He Tianran suddenly pulled the corner of her clothes. When she looked at the young boss in confusion, he glanced at a corner downstairs. , whispered:
"Sister Taozi, I'll make her a cup of coffee later, and by the way... keep an eye on her for me to see what she wants to do."
Yao Qingtao adjusted his glasses, his face a little confused, but he still nodded.
Wen Liang downstairs seemed to feel the fleeting gaze just now. She subconsciously raised her head and looked upstairs, but only saw the back of He Tianran turning around and walking towards the conference room.
Seeing celebrities in the workplace, or being able to work with them, is very common in film and television companies, especially in places like Pearl Lane, so much so that it has become a reason for many young job seekers to come here. .
However, this kind of energy can only be maintained for a month or two. As time goes by, it is destined to get used to strange things. Therefore, even though Wen Liang's arrival initially made the employees of "Future Production" excited and curious, by the time So far, she has not met anyone who has come up to her to ask for an autograph or a photo.
Working under He Tianran's hands, you have freedom, but the work standards you should have are still implemented very well.
Wen Liang was not frustrated because she was a "star" sitting here and being ignored. In fact, she was very open-minded about this kind of thing. She was an actor, and everyone was just an ordinary person on and off the show.
"...Teacher Wen Liang, let me show you the materials I cut this morning. Can you take a look first?"
The colleague in charge of this editing is named Xiaotu, and she is a shy and quiet girl. Now that the main character in the video is sitting next to her, she is inevitably a little nervous and cautious when speaking.
"Okay, can it be cut so quickly? You guys work very quickly."
"No, I just made a rough cut first. It's not troublesome to edit a 30-second film. It's just that Brother Yu Hui is taking a break and hasn't come to work. When he comes back, I have to make a fine cut. Now it's like color grading. Ah, music, I didn’t do anything about the transitions, that is, I just piled up a pile of usable materials. Teacher Wen Liang, if you see anything unexpected, don’t dislike it. It’s just a rough cut. If you If you think a certain scene is inappropriate to appear in the feature film, you can tell me and I will make a note of it."
Xiaotu explained cautiously and clicked on the project file this time.
The footage shot yesterday constitutes a semi-finished short film that appears in front of you. Although it is a rough cut, the materials have been selected, trimmed and arranged. The length is nearly one and a half minutes, and will be shortened to thirty in the future. Second.
"Are these all the photos taken yesterday?" Wen Liang asked after reading them.
"No, I just picked the material that the director said 'passed' on the schedule to save time. Just like the chat scene you and Director He filmed yesterday, Mr. Wen, it actually took the two cameras combined to shoot thirty There were several pieces of material, but only three or four shots were picked out that could be used.”
Xiaotu was very patient. After hearing this, Wenliang said:
"Can you pull out all the material from yesterday's scene between Director He and me and let me have a look?"
"All of them?"
"Yeah, all of them."
"Uh...it's okay..."
This move made the little girl feel embarrassed in the later stage. There is no operational difficulty in watching the material. The main reason is that it is a bit sensitive. After all, the photos of the scandal in the morning were leaked from the scene between her and Director He. Now the focus of the other party's viewing is still this. , if something goes wrong again, she, as an employee, cannot afford it...
"Let Teacher Wen take a look, little rabbit."
At this time, Yao Qingtao came over to Shanshan with a cup of coffee, which relieved the little girl's embarrassment.
I have never introduced it before. There are not many employees in "Future Production" now. Yao Qingtao just works as an account manager. She usually also works part-time as He Tianran's secretary, but what she does is always those of big companies. Here, the job can only be done by the account director.
She determines the annual advertising business plan and targets, and handles the business docking with Shanhai Group or other clients. Currently, the main source of profit for "Future Production" is advertising shooting, so Yao Qingtao is now He Tianran. Next, a veritable second-in-command.
It was up to her to approve this matter. Later on, the little sister felt a lot more relaxed. She immediately opened the material folder and pulled all the unselected videos to the timeline of the editing software.
"The company's coffee is only instant, Teacher Wenliang, don't mind it."
Yao Qingtao enthusiastically placed the coffee on the warm table. The latter held the cup in both hands and said with a smile:
"It's not that troublesome. You are... Yao Qingtao, Sister Taozi, right? I heard my friends on the set call you that yesterday, and you were the one who was communicating with my team before. You couldn't make it during the filming yesterday. I'm really sorry for chatting more. You don't need to call me teacher, I don't deserve it. Sister Taozi, just call me A Liang, that's what everyone around me calls me."
"Okay, A Liang~"
The two chatted immediately. Wen Liang put aside reading the materials for the time being. She looked around casually, took a sip of hot coffee, and asked:
"Sister Taozi, I think your company seems to have a lot of post-production staff and directors, right?"
Yao Qingtao sat next to Wen Liang.
"Well, things like photography, lighting, art, etc. don't need to be supported by a company. When you have work, just contact the existing team outside. But like directors, screenwriters, or photography teachers who work well together, All we have to do is sign it, like Director Yu who filmed for you yesterday, he is our contracted director and Director He’s classmate."
Wen Liang nodded and asked again: "I see, don't you want to sign an artist?"
"The company's current development focus is still on production. As for artists, I have no such idea for the time being." Yao Qingtao paused and said: "The main reason is that the company is not large now, and many links have not been connected. You signed Others can't arrange the resources, so why bother. Moreover, Shanhai didn't start out in entertainment. It will take a while to find a way to cross the border. Now it's all the small bosses who are pushing forward. The big bosses are not so anxious. The family has a big business. , not short of such a mouthful of meat.”
"big boss?"
"Director He is the small boss, and his father is naturally the big boss, but he rarely interferes in the affairs of the company here."
"That's right, but Director He has achieved very good results, and your company's development momentum is also very strong. The industry is paying close attention to it. After all, "A Thousand Knots of Hearts" was so popular last year."
Yao Qingtao also took a sip of his coffee and sighed:
"That's good, but it's also for a small company like ours. For the entire Shanhai Group, the money we make through hard work in a year is less than the small goals that others casually set for a quarter. Hurry up. Come on, our company is now like a small toy specially made by the big boss to satisfy the interests and hobbies of the small boss. We are all the study boys who come to play with the prince."
Wen Liang laughed: "Sister Taozi, are you so transparent?"
"That's not true~"
Yao Qingtao tilted his head casually.
The relationship between two strange women broke through for the first time in the midst of repeated quarrels.
The footage taken yesterday in front of the flower shop was played on the screen. Since there were two photographers, two camera positions, and two different scenes, it was easy to distinguish them. And the most significant point was that Cai Jueming’s camera position was Before the official start of filming, he would often start recording very early. His camera would always shake left and right for a while, as if he was scanning a circle on purpose, and then he would straighten the camera position.
This kind of useless footage with unknown meaning will definitely be cut out during post-editing. Photography is also an art after all, and it is normal for art people to have some quirks, as long as the shooting after the director calls "start" is maintained Of course, no one will pursue the redundant camera time of the first few seconds.
Yao Qingtao watched quietly with Wen Liang. Later, when Xiaotu saw that the two principals did not speak, he did not dare to fast forward, so he could only accompany him step by step, without skipping a frame.
Wen Liang is not here to look at the quality of the material and find fault with the film.
Yao Qingtao noticed this and thought of the scandal this morning, combined with the fact that Wen Liang had specially selected the video material of her scene with He Tianran, and also the operation of the machine by the photographer hired by the other party before the shooting started. , Yao Qingtao got an unexpected and reasonable answer——
She was looking for the person who took the secret photos. She had already expected this revelation.
This answer is unexpected because Wen Liang is the beneficiary of this scandal. She has a positive image, so she doesn’t need to be so anxious to find anything; as for the reason, since she debuted, she has suffered from this kind of The pain of gossip news happened to happen this time, and she had already taken precautions and wanted to solve the matter together. So her blocking the door to see the material today and her temporary change of photographer yesterday can all be explained. .
Yao Qingtao thought for a while and felt that this was not something that was difficult to talk about, so he decided to ask Wen Liang if his guess was true. If it was true, then he would try his best to cooperate and it would not be too much trouble to help others. one thing.
"When did Director He become like this?"
"...Huh? What?"
Just when Yao Qingtao was about to open his mouth to ask, Wen Liang, who had been staring at the screen, suddenly said this sentence from his mouth.
She turned her head, pointed to her hair, and asked in more detail:
"That's it...when did Director He start to have such white hair?"
"Oh, you ask this..."
This question is not surprising to Yao Qingtao. After all, this is the most conspicuous feature of He Tianran. Almost every new friend he meets, including some new employees in the company, feels this to some extent. I was too curious, otherwise the name "Bald Eagle of Pearl Lane" wouldn't have squawked so loudly.
"Probably...when he was a junior in college. At first he would dye it black or something, but then he had more and more white hair, so he simply stopped dyeing it. He said it had some artistic flavor, but I didn't notice it anyway. "
Junior year?
After that snowy mountain trip?
Wen Liang was a little sensitive at this point in time and couldn't help but ask:
"Then his gray hair is due to any major changes in his life? Or is it simply a matter of personal constitution?"
"It must be a physical problem. What kind of misfortune can happen to a rich second generation like him? He eats and drinks well every day, and is full of energy to torture us workers. Just now he was talking to our screenwriters and sisters. I don’t know how happy I am when I put on my face.”
Yao Qingtao said that, why did He Tianran forget the memory of the snow mountain trip? Wen Liang couldn't help but think a little...
For example, after that trip, he suddenly let go of any unbearable weight in his life. After he was relieved, he became seriously ill, his hair turned gray overnight, and he forgot everything...
However, this seems to be inconsistent with the situation when I met him again on the day the band broke up, and the memories of the two of them in high school...
Otherwise it would be...
Car accident? Terminal illness? Time travel?
Can any of the above factors cause his hair to grow gray overnight?
At the end of the thought, Wen Liang laughed to herself, thinking to herself that she was so busy with nothing to do, how could she give He Tianran any excuse for his amnesia.
Just like you can't wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep. Now that you have a bad reputation and many people in the circle and your former partners are avoiding you, He Tianran should treat himself the same way.
Thinking of this, Wen Liang's vivid and bright face showed a bit of sadness.
"Ah Liang, you came here to look at the material. You actually wanted to see if the camera captured the paparazzi spreading the scandal between you and Director He, right?"
In the midst of melancholy, Yao Qingtao's words rang in Wen Liang's ears.
The sassy girl in the past smiled, but with a hint of bitterness. She didn't hide it, and even answered with some emphasis:
"Yes, Sister Taozi, I came to your company this time not because I want to make the scandal bigger, or because I want to gain some popularity with Director He, to establish friendship with him, etc. I just want to find out some of the truth about what happened to me. , other than that, I have no other thoughts.”
: I’m sorry everyone, it’s been so long this time. It’s true that Sao Sao’s disease has been in such an erratic state of “relapse-recovery-relapse-recovery”. Taking medicine and infusion every day makes people numb. I've been getting better these past two days, and finally found the state of coding. Thank you for your long wait.
