Sure enough, it's her again.
If you don't count the experience of being classmates in high school who couldn't even be called friends, He Tianran had only known Wen Liang for only three days. But in these three days, people kept popping up and instilling a sense of self and Wen Liang. In fact, it is an illusion that I have known for a long time.
And the more people mentioned this illusion, the more uncertain He Tianran was about whether he had really forgotten something...
If Wen Liang and Cai Jueming can collude in advance, how can we explain that Hu Yue in front of us brings up this matter again...
I can't be gentle with all my friends who know me, right?
"Uh... Teacher Xiao Hu, if you don't mind, can you sit down and let's talk some more?"
He Tianran invited.
"Yes, of course."
Probably because he knew the same friend, Hu Yue was also very curious. As soon as he sat down, he asked:
"Director He, did you and our sister Liang... have a relationship?"
"What? One, what?"
"In love!"
These are all words of tiger and wolf. He Tianran held his head and explained:
"You made this guess after reading the scandal, right? That's a misunderstanding."
Unexpectedly, Hu Yue looked confused, "Scandal? What kind of scandal? I don't know about this."
Okay, let's talk it over, it seems that not everyone is paying attention to the gossip between him and Wen Liang yesterday.
He Tianran simply stopped explaining and continued to ask:
"Then why do you, Mr. Xiao Hu, think that Wen Liang and I have had any emotional experiences? In fact, we have only known each other not long ago."
Finally having the opportunity and time to talk about this matter, He Tianran naturally would not let it go.
"Ah...Actually, I'm just guessing, because I felt that you and Sister Liang had a pretty good relationship at the time, and Sister Liang rarely showed that kind of enthusiasm to a member of the opposite sex. Then she invited you to a concert with her band at that time. Meeting or something, I chased you out after it was over, so we all thought that you should have a relationship in private, but we were about to graduate at that time, and everyone was busy with their own things, so it would be difficult to get together again, so it didn’t happen Didn’t have time to verify.”
Although Hu Yue carefully considered his words for fear of offending the young boss in front of him, He Tianran still sounded like he was listening to heavenly scriptures.
"Teacher Xiao Hu..."
"Director He, you can just call me scholar. My friends all call me that, teacher, teacher. I'm not used to it."
He Tianran was stunned and murmured:
"...Xiucai?"
"Hey, that sounds much more friendly."
Hu Yue grinned, then handed over a cigarette coquettishly, and the lighter burst into flames. He protected the fire with one hand. He Tianran held the cigarette in his mouth and subconsciously moved forward to light it. Cigarette, took a puff.
The two of them were not in a hurry to continue chatting, but just talked about it in the office for a while with a tacit understanding.
This series of actions was so coherent that He Tianran seemed to have experienced it countless times. A sudden sense of familiarity spread in his heart. He looked at Hu Yue, clearly seeing this person for the first time. But I always felt that his demeanor, speaking style, and even the unpleasant smell of smoke when he was smoking in front of me had a sense of déjà vu.
This feeling also appeared two days ago. It was the smell of perfume on Wen Liang when he approached her...
"Xiucai, can you tell me specifically what happened that day?"
"...Well, yes, but I can only tell you what I saw. I don't know much about the rest... It was one noon when we were filming our graduation project, and we were short of an actor at that time..."
In order to avoid making a joke like the one mentioned earlier, Hu Yue first made a disclaimer, and then while smoking a cigarette, he recalled and slowly talked about the past events that happened that day when the Wenliang band was disbanded.
What Hu Yue knew was actually very limited. He just met He Tianran during the filming, and then found out that Wen Liang knew him. After the filming was completed, the two went out to eat. When the concert ended in the evening, Wen Liang even ran out. After looking for him, He Tianran disappeared from their lives until they met Hu Yue again today.
Hu Yue's account was very detailed and even contained some information. Even He Tianran was a little surprised when he heard it for the first time. For example, Wen Liang and Gu Qiaoman, also known as Gu Ling, used to be very good friends, and this new Penguin The traffic princess also had a relationship with Cai Jueming, the photographer Wenliang arranged to come in the day before yesterday, and she seemed to have set up a match?
Moreover, the director of the graduation short film they shot is called Li Wang...
"What is Director Li doing now?"
He Tianran asked further.
"He, he has been filming a documentary with a senior brother in the past few years. I don't know where he is now. I can't get through the phone. I don't know if the filming is finished. Why, mention him, Director He? Are you impressed?"
Don't tell me, He Tianran did remember this name.
"I have an impression... I do, but it has nothing to do with what happened that day. Wasn't there a short film competition for college students at that time? The film I shot won the best film, and the film directed by Director Li won the best director, so... The impression is quite profound, after all, it was because of that award that it gave me the confidence to continue on the road of film and television."
Hu Yue smiled and said:
"I see, but Director He, you are quite interesting. You can't remember the past with a beautiful woman like Sister Liang, but you can remember the name of a competitor for so long. You are indeed a career-oriented man. "
He Tianran smiled dumbly at this.
Hu Yue suggested at this moment:
"Director He, if you really want to know the whole situation that day, why don't you just ask Sister Liang? Do you have her contact information?"
"Well, yes. It's just that a lot has happened in the past two days, and I didn't have time or opportunity to ask..." After He Tianran finished speaking, he recalled the joke just now and hesitated to ask one more question: "Xiucai, did Wen Liang and I make you feel... very close?"
Hu Yue said firmly:
"That's right, let's not talk about words like like or love. Let's be more rigorous. At least I can tell if you have a good impression. Why am I called a 'scholar'? Even when I was studying, my classmates all asked me about relationship issues. , I have always been known for my accurate pulse reading and rich theoretical and practical experience, so others call me a scholar.
Let me tell you, Director He, Sister Liang is not passionate about everyone. On the day you came, she was very proactive. And after the concert, when she went backstage, the first thing she asked was where you were. Well, when I found out you were gone, I immediately chased you out. I didn’t even have time to put down my guitar. Not to mention us guys, even her best friends had never seen her in that state at that time. You have to say that she was in that state at that time. I don’t have a good impression of you, I totally don’t believe it. "
He Tianran still didn't know whether Hu Yue's title of "scholar" was what he said, but the man's words were indeed vivid and lifelike, making people want to listen. No wonder he studied screenwriting.
He Tianran doesn’t know yet whether he has any emotional experience?
However, you dropped an ambiguous past event out of thin air, and one person said a little bit about it, and the other person said a little bit about it, and it was so real, just like Rashomon, that everyone would be confused...
After the matter was finished, He Tianran did not keep Hu Yue around anymore. After exchanging contact information, they said goodbye and agreed to meet again in three days after the script was polished.
Today, whether in life or work, I received a lot of information, and it was boring to sit in the office, so He Tianran went to the rooftop alone.
Looking at the Tumo River quietly flowing towards the sea in the distance, his phone vibrated. He Tianran took it out and saw that it was a transfer from Father Wen, with the postscript saying that this was money for He Tianran to repair his car.
All of a sudden, the image of Wen's father, a tall and thick man, appeared in front of He Tianran's eyes. Although he had been evading it yesterday and said that he didn't need it, if he didn't accept the money, he would probably be even more embarrassed with his temperament.
He Tianran edited a message and sent it. Thinking about it, he even had the contact information of Wenliang's father, but Wenliang's phone number had not been noted. He couldn't help but open the address book and saw what Hu Yue said just now. The suggestion echoed in his ears, and he happened to have time now, so his fingers moved on like a ghost.
"cough……"
The phone beeped and the call was dialed, but before the other party could answer the call, He Tianran coughed lightly and collected his thoughts.
"Dip-dip-dip-"
The waiting time was a bit long, and He Tianran almost lost his patience. He thought that the other party was not looking at the phone and was about to give up when Wen Liang's low-spirited words came from the receiver:
"……Hello."
"Ah Wenliang, it's me, He Tianran."
"I know...what's the matter?"
"Uh...it's nothing. It's just that today I suddenly met a classmate from the film school. His name is Hu Yue. Hahaha. This guy talks quite interestingly. His nickname is Xiucai. He said that all his friends around him call him that. Do you know him? ?"
The receiver hesitated for two seconds, then still said in a low voice:
"...I know you, what next?"
"Then...haha...then..."
He Tianran scratched the back of his neck and said in a joking tone as casually as possible:
"Then, he said that he also remembered me. It was similar to what you said, except that you two have different perspectives. He also guessed that we had a relationship before. You said that this person is really awesome, so I just wanted to call you and ask you. , specifically at that time..."
He Tianran was interrupted by Wen Liang before he finished speaking.
"He Tianran, if this memory is not important to big bosses and directors like you, then forget it. I am not as boring as you think. So what if I tell you? So what if you remember it?"
"No... Wen Liang, you..."
Since making the call, Wen Liang's mood has remained as low as a line below the sea level. Until now, her mood has only fluctuated a little, but it can be heard that she is still deliberately suppressing her emotions, including now.
Wen Liang didn't give He Tianran a chance to speak, she still thought to herself:
"Why can't you just doubt me after we've known each other and are friends? I treat you as friends, is this how you treat me? You just like to read such gossip news, don't you? Without these, I Doesn't Wen Liang count as an actor? My value is to be constantly coerced by this traffic in exchange for corresponding benefits, right?"
At the end of Wen Liang's words, there was even a slight hoarseness in his voice.
He Tianran didn't speak for the moment. During this moment of conversation, he had noticed that Wen Liang's mood at the moment must not be very good, and the other party's state was too sudden. It was actually his words that had become a trigger... …
"He Tianran, it doesn't matter whether you remember or not remember what happened between us, but I beg you, don't arrange this kind of thing again. I really have no value to you, don't Contact me again, I am a human being and an actor, not a pawn in your business or a tool for monetization!"
"Du-du-du--"
The other party hung up the phone.
At the end of the words, he heard Wen Liang's anger, and there seemed to be a bit of crying in it.
He Tianran put down his phone and looked melancholy.
It seems that Wenliang has experienced a lot today.
He Tianran sorted through everything he knew in his mind. The matter seemed not complicated. Judging from what happened in the past two days and Wen Liang's remarks when he lost control of his mood just now, the girl returned to the company today and must have found out what happened yesterday. Everything was in a showdown with Li Lan.
Yesterday, after Wen Liang found out that the candid photographer who created the scandal was run by their company, he wanted to say something, but He Tianran stopped him on the grounds of "company secrets". In fact, even if Wen Liang didn't say anything, after being exposed to the rules of the entertainment industry, especially After taking charge of a film and television company, He Tianran had a clear mind.
There are many ways for an artist to become popular, including singing, acting, and hosting variety shows, and then naturally there are other ways such as pretending to be crazy, acting stupid, and deliberately hyping.
However, all the above methods, in the final analysis, are nothing more than the word "exposure".
For actors like Wen Liang, exposure comes too slowly through acting alone. The production cycle of a film and television drama can take up to half a year at the fastest. Therefore, during this period, some other exposure must be needed to maintain the popularity of the artist.
Li Lan's economic company has very average resources. Its artists have filmed the most popular dramas. A few years ago, it was "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" starring Wen Liang, and the most recent one was "A Thousand Knots of Hearts" starring Bai Lingye, and it happened to be In fact, Li Lan's company did not invest any money in these two dramas, and earned purely a share of the artists' remuneration.
Li Lan is very good at looking at artists, but his vision for acting is really down by more than one level. Some of the dramas they cast have no splash at all. Even though Wen Liang's acting skills are excellent, He Tianran thinks Gu Qiaoman will take on the new role. There is no problem with the female lead in a drama. Actors are important, but they are not all factors that ultimately determine the commercial success of a drama.
Therefore, in order to maintain a warm exposure, it is not surprising that Li Lan asked their company's operations to create some lace, some black material that can easily attract attention.
Maybe to some outsiders, this is a very incredible thing. How can any company throw dirty water on its own artists?
But in fact, this is not a stupid trick, but an effective exposure method that can be manipulated manually.
Moreover, Li Lan also kept a secret. All the scandalous news about Wen Liang in the past few years has been slightly brushed aside, but it has not touched the bottom line of morality and law. This is a very delicate situation. No matter how many fans turn, What do people who turn black think? Wen Liang needs acting skills, a good face, and has all the potential of an A-list little girl. Now she is just one chance away from being like Bai Lingye and getting caught in a hit drama. Opportunities to soar.
By then, as soon as she became famous and the company issued a few announcements, all the negative information about her would be cleared away.
This is a way of playing in the entertainment industry.
Although He Tianran was scolded by Wen Liangqian just now, he did not feel any anger or disgust about it.
At least, this phone call proves that this girl Wen Liang is a person with bottom line and principles, and she still maintains her sharpness and character.
Now is not the time to communicate. When the other party encounters this kind of thing, it will definitely take some time to regain his senses. He Tianran thought about it and sent two text messages.
"Calm down. I apologize for my frivolity just now. I never thought of taking advantage of you."
"Don't do stupid things, think about your uncle and aunt, and...if you encounter difficulties, don't give up. If we think of more ways, there will always be a way out."
After these two messages were sent, there was indeed no reply.
He Tianran walked downstairs and started to deal with the day's work. It was not until dusk that his phone vibrated slightly and received a reply like this from Wen Liang:
"He Tianran...what should I do..."
There is no update today, there are a lot of things going on, and the plot has reached a critical point, I'm sorry, everyone...
