He Tianran called on people in his company to work together to help Wen Liang find the paparazzi, which moved this girl who had always been alone and tough, and even revealed a bit of the softer side of a girl inadvertently.
Of course, these things are just a piece of cake for He Tianran. In fact, what makes him even more puzzled is why Li Lan's agency didn't react at all when something like this happened to Wen Liang. Although Wen Liang Ryo is not as popular now as when he debuted, but after all, before Bai Lingye, Xiaohua, the main promotion of their company, is now reduced to investigating this kind of thing alone, and there is no assistant around to help...
Even if Wen Liang is not popular, at least she is an artist who can make passers-by familiar. No matter how snobbish Li Lan is, he would not treat her like this. Even during the period when Bai Lingye went to auditions continuously, at least she had some The little agent is responsible for contacting you.
Could it be that the contract is about to expire and I don’t want to take care of it anymore?
But during the shooting yesterday, their company had a nanny car and an assistant, and they could cover the cost of an additional photographer for her. This was not the treatment a person who was left out in the cold should receive.
"Wen Liang, does your company know you are here?"
He Tianran looked at the material and couldn't figure it out, so he asked one more question.
The girl was silent for two seconds, looked directly at the computer screen seriously, and said stiffly:
"……have no idea."
This girl is really full of personality. Could it be that she lost her temper because of the failure to renew the contract?
Well, if you don't tell yourself when something happens, there's nothing you can do about it.
But He Tianran actually likes her straightforward personality. Actors are also ordinary people. As long as their professional abilities are up to standard, there is no need to bring the drama into real life. It's really tiring. Just do whatever you want. That's pretty good too.
But the strange thing about this is that if you want to mix in this circle, you must learn to lower your eyebrows and lower your head, obey the rules and obey the rules, and sometimes even be prepared to sacrifice something. If your personality is too direct, you will often suffer a lot. Nose gray.
He Tianran has watched Wen Liang's dramas, and occasionally heard about some of her glorious deeds in the acting profession from the teachers at the film school.
Looking at the scene of Wen Liang chatting with him yesterday on the screen, and remembering that the other party complained about his acting skills, He Tianran suddenly smiled and asked:
"By the way, you should know Mr. Long, who teaches acting at the film school, right?"
After a moment of warmth, he turned his head:
"We know each other. Sister Long has always been in charge of our acting classes. Why, she taught you too?"
He Tianran nodded slightly:
"When I was in my first year of graduate school, she taught us an acting class for half a semester. I remember one time during class chat, she mentioned to us some of the students she taught and said that one of them, Wen Liang, was very good at acting. She is not even a little bit better professionally than her peers. She is also one of the rare girls in film schools who can play both Tsing Yi and Hua Dan. Her only shortcoming may be that she is a little too independent in her personality. There is nothing wrong with being an actress, but In today's entertainment industry, you will be at a disadvantage. She is thinking about you very much and said that if we directors have a movie to shoot in the future and are short of actors, we can consider you."
After Wen Liang listened in a daze, his eyes showed memories, and he said slowly:
"I didn't expect that we would have such a fate. I remember when I just graduated, Teacher Long wanted to recommend me to the theater. But at that time, I was only thinking about making movies and TV dramas. To put it bluntly... …I don’t want my life to be too ordinary. I want to be famous. I want to see myself on the computer, on my mobile phone, on the big screen of the cinema, on the subway bus CBD platform and on the LED screen of the high-rise building...So, I declined at that time. Thanks to Teacher Long’s kindness, I signed with my current company.”
Hearing this very straightforward expression of desire, from the perspective of He Tianran, a peer of his age, there was nothing offensive at all. He said calmly:
"It's normal. If I were in your shoes, I would probably make the same decision. Life is meaningful only if you choose it. As for whether it is bitter or sweet, you have to suffer it. Do you regret it?"
Wen Liang shook his head:
"I have never regretted the decision I made. I am just afraid that I will live up to the expectations of my relatives, friends and teachers. I don't know what Teacher Long will think after knowing my situation in recent years. I am a little worried about this." Apologetically, it seems that I have achieved some achievements before graduation, and I am very sorry for her praise of me..."
He Tianran listened quietly, without any extra comfort, and just gave a simple suggestion:
"If you have a chance, go back to the film school and see her."
"……Um."
If you want to sympathize with Wen Liang, He Tianran has no such idea. Even if she is not in the entertainment industry, looking at the entire society, there are countless people in her situation. Considering the strong character of the other party, it is probably She won't accept sympathy from others.
However, after this exchange, which could be regarded as a brief exchange of words, the distance between the two of them seemed to have become closer.
The work of searching for clues from the materials was still going on. The sun completely set and the lights of the company were turned on by Yao Qingtao. Half an hour later...
"Hey Wenliang, come and see, is this person a paparazzi?"
A gleam of light was reflected under Teacher A Liu's thick lenses. She made a sound of surprise. After hearing this, everyone left their positions and gathered behind her.
The footage she is playing on her computer is very short, about seven or eight seconds. This is not a shot from the official shooting. It is just an accidental startup. Yuhui is talking to Wen Liang about his position for a while. with action.
This kind of useless material, not to mention it will not be used during editing, even the on-site notes will not record the code of this material in the notes. It is lucky that it has not been deleted by the photographer.
But it just so happens that there is such a piece of material that no one else will look at. Not far from the lower left corner of the screen, in the shadow of an alley exit, a sneaky figure was captured!
He Tianran took a closer look and found that this location was the same place where he noticed some reflective objects yesterday!
It's just that he didn't see anyone yesterday, and this material should have been filmed before his scene with Wen Liang...
"It's so dark that I can't see clearly. I can only see an outline. It's a pity. Can it be brightened?"
Aliu was very excited and circled the suspicious position with the mouse.
"Here, I'm just kidding. The machine I'm using this time is Alyssa MINI. Can you see clearly?"
He Tianran leaned down, took the mouse from her, and quickly dragged the material into the editing software. He stopped at a slightly stable frame, then enlarged the part of the picture, called up the RGB curve and pulled it.
These video materials are all 4K, and the grayscale mode was used when shooting to retain the color latitude of the picture as much as possible. This was originally done for easy color adjustment in the later stage. Now He Tianran has stretched the curve, and the original gray color has become The entrance to the alley suddenly lit up as if it were being directly hit by the sun, making all the darkness invisible.
Therefore, when you meet a professional for candid photography, there is no comparison. The pure 4k picture quality is as clear as a close-up no matter which corner is zoomed in.
The picture showed a young man with medium-long hair parted to the side, slightly fatter, wearing a mask on his mouth, wearing a black jacket, a pair of brown trousers, and a Nikon SLR hanging around his neck. The camera, a pair of small eyes is looking at the warm and cool location on the set...
"That's him, right?"
He Tianran enlarged the size of the screen again, this time directly freezing his face.
A group of girls saw it and shouted:
"Ah, it's so scary, it feels so sudden."
"Yes, yes, I'm getting goosebumps. I've been being stared at in the dark all the time. I may continue to follow you in the future..."
"Hey, stop talking, it's so wretched... Ah Liang, look at it, is it this person..."
Since the beginning, Wen Liang has been staring at the man in the picture. Her pupils are slightly dilated, her pretty face is terrifyingly cold, and her chest is rising and falling, as if she is suppressing her anger.
"You know him?"
He Tianran inquired.
After a few breaths, Wen Liang calmed down, nodded seriously, and then said something that no one expected.
"I know him. He is a colleague in the operations department of our company. I have met him many times because his department helped handle all the false gossip in the past..."
"..."
The girls who had been making comments just now fell silent...
This sentence contained so much information that even He Tianran had countless thoughts flashing through his mind at the moment.
Wen Liang closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice as she exhaled:
"I actually had a premonition about this early on, otherwise I wouldn't have arranged for Teacher Cai to come and help me with this shooting yesterday. In the past..."
"Warm and cool."
"Um?"
He Tianran interrupted her speech at the right time. The girl looked at the man in confusion. The latter had a serious expression and a bit of hesitation on his face, but he still said:
"Are you sure you want to tell us something involving your company's inside story? Or do you want to take a break now?"
Wen Liang was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Then, the always proud girl slowly lowered her eyebrows. She became silent, slowly chewing the information she had gained alone...
In fact, He Tianran had already roughly guessed what Wen Liang was going to say, and his meaning was also very obvious. He had a relationship with Li Lan's agency before, and the cooperation during the period was quite pleasant. In any case, there was a bit of friendship, and it would be inevitable in the future. If you want to get in touch with them again, it’s good that you know a rough idea of their company’s family affairs. If you know more, it’s not necessarily a good thing.
The company employees headed by Yao Qingtao all understood He Tianran's concerns, but A Liu, a stay-at-home girl who had been bored at home all year round writing essays and had long since lost her social experience, did not realize this. She asked in a loud voice. :
"Say it! We finally found out, why don't you tell us if you've been wronged? I'm not someone's employee. Wen Liang, we can help you if you tell us!"
Wen Liang smiled at her gratefully, and then secretly glanced at He Tianran's expression...
At this moment, He Tianran pinched the center of his eyebrows, and he was convinced by this great internet writer.
"Ahem...we...are all tired, let's eat first, let's eat first."
…
…
Because Wen Liang, a celebrity artist, was there, and it was the time when the most people were eating, he did not choose to go to a restaurant outside. Instead, he stayed at the company and ordered two pots of Haidilao hot pot takeout.
The third floor of "Future Production" is a rooftop with an excellent view. This is the company's feng shui treasure. Usually some employees like to go here to order food, or fish and smoke a cigarette.
The main thing is that it is very atmospheric here. The city lights are brilliant at night. To the north, you can see the Tumo River Bridge and the bustling Jiangbei CBD high-rise buildings on the other side. The lights illuminate the river surface in red and purple. From time to time, there are a few sounds from the ferry on the river. The long whistle, the modern city, the misty dream, and drinking in this bustling area can't be more pleasant.
Because there were a lot of dishes ordered and people participating this time, two takeaway and waiters came, and all the tableware and pot bases were available. Soon, on the cool rooftop in September, the sound of The enticing sound of hot pot sizzling.
When He Tianran and several colleagues carried the unfinished drinks and wine from the last company dinner upstairs, Yao Qingtao and A Liu were ready to start.
"Director He, it's okay, you really enjoy it! I didn't know your company had such a place. The atmosphere and scenery here are very good!"
A Liu's eyes moved away from the shrimp slide under the waiter's table and looked at He Tianran who was putting down the beer box with a smile on his face.
"No, anyway, every summer or when the weather is better, our Director He likes to hold summer night screenings on this rooftop, organize night barbecues and the like. Now, the grill and charcoal are always on It’s placed on the rooftop. When there are usually many people like this, order takeout like this, set up the table, and let us eat together on the rooftop.”
Yao Qingtao rinsed his hairy belly and replenished it at the right time.
He Tianran prepared his own hot pot dipping sauce and searched around. When he saw that there was a seat next to Wen Liang, he naturally sat down.
"Teacher A Liu, Teacher Wen Liang, can I arrange it? Instead of eating outside, why don't we go upstairs and order something to eat? How pleasant it would be."
"Hey, I can see that the boss doesn't like to see his employees and even stays in his company to eat."
A Liu teased him, and a group of people laughed.
He Tianran rolled his eyes and took the opportunity to play tricks: "No, no, no, rather than me liking to see you staying in the company, you might as well like to see my handsome appearance paying for you."
"Ah ha ha ha ha! Yes, yes, yes, yes!"
The joyful atmosphere on the rooftop was even stronger, and even the waiter couldn't help but laugh.
Originally, Wen Liang was a little cautious about attending such a dinner party at someone else's company, but once she felt it, her tense mood gradually relaxed.
At this time, a "takeaway" sound suddenly came from downstairs, causing He Tianran, who had just sat down, to stand up again.
"Did you order anything else?"
Yao Qingtao asked.
"Well, don't move your chopsticks yet, wait a moment, I'll be back soon!"
He Tianran said something, leaving everyone confused and hurried downstairs. A few minutes later, he came back with a big box and put it on the table with a bang.
Everyone took a closer look, and Wen Liang's heart skipped a beat when he saw it...
That's a birthday cake...
"Today...whose birthday is it?"
Yao Qingtao asked.
"Yes, today is Teacher Wenliang's birthday!"
He Tianran naturally pointed at Wen Liang, who had already buried his head. Seeing that the latter could not hide, he showed an extremely forced smile...
"Wow, happy birthday, Teacher Wenliang!"
"Happy birthday, Liang."
"No, isn't Teacher Wenliang's birthday written in the encyclopedia as February?"
"Oh, the information written in the encyclopedia is not necessarily... Well, you know, hush, anyway, happy birthday!"
A group of little girls were excited and sent birthday wishes one after another. He Tianran took out the cake and asked the Haidilao waiter:
"By the way, don't you customers want to sing Happy Birthday on your birthday? Let's do it all!"
Wen Liang's eyes darkened and he almost fainted. The two waiters were also dedicated and nodded in agreement. They immediately took out their mobile phones and started playing background music.
The joyful singing started, and everyone enthusiastically cheered, clapping their hands and singing to Wen Liang:
Say bye bye to all your worries
say hi hi to all the happiness
Happy birthday, my dear, may every day be wonderful.
Watch the flowers of happiness bloom for you~
In an instant, the atmosphere at the scene was extremely happy. Under the candlelight, Wen Liang covered her face with her hands. She was really...
I have the desire to die.
This He Tianran...
I'm afraid you're trying to trick yourself on purpose, right?
