He Tianran's call immediately became the target of everyone's attention. In addition to the general staff, Sui Chulang and Gu Qiaoman naturally also noticed the movement on this side.
"cough--"
Gu Qiaoman glanced at Sui Chulang, who had been looking at Wen Liang in a daze, and coughed deliberately.
When the top actor suddenly came to his senses, Gu Qiaoman said with a hint of humor:
"It seems that our monitor, who has always had his own way of doing things, has begun to adapt to the rules of the circle in the past few years. I think that if you, the prodigal son, are acting with the monitor this time, she will not scold you on behalf of Teacher Long again. Are you bloody?"
Sui Chulang was stunned, turned his head and replied with the same meaning:
"To each other, let's just take fifty steps and don't laugh at one hundred steps."
When their class entered school, Sui Chulang had successfully transformed from a child star into a popular idol with a variety show. Gu Qiaoman was still unknown in the class and felt extremely proud that he had stepped into the threshold of the film school. Fortunately, Wenliang was ranked first in their major in that year and was strongly recommended as the class president by her classmates. With her appearance, professionalism, and popularity, her stardom was undoubtedly the one that was most promising.
But things went against expectations. After graduation, Sui Chulang's popularity was still high, and Gu Qiaoman was even more favored by capital. He had a lot of film deals and endorsements, but it was lukewarm. In addition to an independent film "When the Rose Fades Withered" and a "Love" Except for the IP web drama "Legend of the Condor Heroes", there are no other works that can be produced. In the past few years, there have been many scandals and the popularity has declined. To this day, I can only lament that things have changed and people who were most promising at the beginning are now only I can make a green leaf for the two students who are at the bottom of their majors.
But now, Wen Liang, who has never known how to follow the rules and only knows how to be willful, has become famous in the industry and was signed by a rich second-generation director. In addition, his behavior is intimate, so the eyes of the two people looking at Wen Liang naturally change. Gotta be subtle.
The conversation was divided into two parts, and the filming work resumed after a short break. It happened that Gu Qiaoman had also finished styling, so she and Sui Chulang shot a group of the same frame. This kind of stills shooting does not require the director to keep an eye on it. Opinion It was just a matter of photography and execution by the actors, so He Tianran and Wen Liang found a corner to sit down and chat while they had nothing to do.
"When I was in school, Sui Chulang always liked to play with me. Over the past four years, I had a lot of acting assignments, but this guy got scolded by me a lot. I have a good relationship with him, but I guess it's because of my relationship in the past few years. There is too much dirty material, and for a first-line artist like him, even if he wants to, his company will definitely remind him to have less contact with me."
Wen Liang glanced at the management team sitting next to A Liu and answered He Tianran's confusion.
The man nodded after listening. The negative news accumulated about the girl in the past few years needs to be slowly dispelled. Besides, he can completely understand the avoidance of suspicion between male and female celebrities, but there is one thing He Tianran doesn't quite understand.
"What about Gu Qiaoman? I rarely see you communicating in private. You guys slept together in college, right? Outsiders don't know your personality, but the people who live in the same house with you always know it well, right? ? Even if Gu Qiaoman’s company said hello to her, she wouldn’t be like a stranger."
"What Gu Ling said..."
When this topic was mentioned, Wen Liang's eyes dimmed and he looked at his former close friend who was taking pictures not far away and constantly changing his posture.
"It's more of a conflict of interest. The route she took is the same as what Li Lan arranged for me before. The most indispensable thing in this circle is Hua Dan. Although I don't want to mention the word 'female competition', I think Be yourself, but in the entertainment industry, there is no way to avoid this situation.
After filming "Legend of the Condor Heroes", Li Lan helped me get some resources. It was also a fairy romance drama pitched by Penguin. The company Gu Ling worked for at the time was not directly affiliated with Penguin. Originally, I worked with When she auditioned, the director had already cast me, but for some reason, when the contract was about to be signed, he suddenly changed to Gu Ling. The show became a big hit, and Penguin took advantage of the situation and bought his company. "
Because Wen Liang spoke in an understatement, some key questions were omitted. He Tianran couldn't help but ask:
"Why the sudden change?"
Wen Liang obviously hesitated for a moment before saying:
"I don't know... I guess I am... not suitable.
And you also know that before you came, our company was not a big company. It was more of a chosen party with little capital to negotiate. However, since that drama was aired, Gu Ling's career has been getting better and better. As her work has become busier, our friendship has become... weaker and weaker. "
It is not uncommon for the crew to change people temporarily, not to mention that the contract has not yet been signed. However, in this matter, Wen Liang rarely blamed himself. He Tianran could roughly guess some of the inside stories. The blame is that the industry is too competitive. It's too intense, and there are only so many opportunities and resources. Wen Liang and Bai Lingye from the same company are considered to be in a competitive relationship, let alone artists from other companies and in the same track...
Although there may be more to this matter, Wen Liang didn't want to talk more, so He Tianran understood that enough was enough.
Looking at Wen Liang, who has become a little disappointed because of the absence of the old friendship, this is a rare state for a girl. Even if He Tianran deliberately kept a distance, he would inevitably explain softly at this time:
"Actually, in my opinion, there is no competitive relationship between you and Gu Ling."
Wen Liang turned around and asked, "Why?"
"Do you want to listen to the serious ones, or the informal ones?"
He Tianran rarely teased her.
"Then...you should talk about it seriously first~"
"The serious thing is, the benchmark I give you is the previous generation of actresses who are around thirty years old, have polished their acting skills, and are looking forward to a transformation. The films they accept are either direct movies, or some reality or dramas. If a film and television drama with this type of theme is performed well, it will really have a reversal of reputation and become an acting school.
Compared with them, your younger age is the only secondary factor. The most important thing is that you have the professional foundation to interact with them.
Although the idol drama market is big and popular, for actors, this path is very narrow. Not only is the competition huge, but it is also easy to be stereotyped. A young career only lasts a few years. If the transformation fails, it will only be Being able to disappear, after all, there will always be people who are eighteen, right?
So whether as a director or a boss, I hope that my artists can have a longer career and bring long-term benefits to the company. "
He Tianran talked eloquently. Although it sounded too idealistic and mostly comforting, it was enough to make Wen Liang, who had been buried in the company, feel happy. Someone is helping you sincerely and making changes for your future. The important thing about planning is that it also meets your pursuit. Anyone who hears this kind of thing will be happy, right?
"...You are very good at drawing cakes, what about the unseemly ones?"
Wen Liang squinted his eyes.
He Tianran took a look and saw that everyone was busy and no one was paying attention. Then he felt relieved and started to talk boastfully:
"What kind of painting is this? You don't believe in your ability, Director He? To put it another way, Gu Qiaoman is supported by Penguin, and you are supported by me. How many people are under Penguin's banner? Do you know that artists and film and television companies are waiting for support? And they are mainly engaged in platform and investment. They are engaged in film and television finance, not film and television content. The content is all about spending money to find outsiders. Look, they didn’t find me this time. That’s it.
I am different from them on this point, or we are different from them.
We are self-produced and self-sold. I am both a director and an investor, so I have to work hard with both hands. In a few years, if Gu Qiaoman fails, Penguin will find someone else to support it. There is no need to think about it.
But you are different. This is our company's first over 100 million project, which is of great significance. If you perform well and shine in the drama, can you and Gu Qiaoman be of the same nature? It's different. If this drama is successful, it will just be an outstanding performance for her. Her popularity will increase and her acting career will be wider.
And this is not just about your performance. If you perform well and succeed, you will be my minister of humerus. Do you know what the word "humerus" means? "
"What's the meaning?"
Wen Liang even laughed, and she replied pretending to be ignorant.
When it came to the important point, He Tianran said and gestured, and slapped his arm: "Arm, arm!"
Then he patted his legs: "Buttocks, thighs too!"
He continued exaggeratedly: "You can imagine the importance of the brachial and femoral limbs. Translated into vernacular, it means, without you, I can't walk, you know!"
Wen Liang laughed and her branches trembled, and her heart felt warm. Her watery eyes rolled around, and she suddenly realized:
"Ah, it just means that you are in love with me and I am with you. Are you agreeing to my confession in disguise?"
"..."
This was originally because He Tianran saw that she was disappointed, so he said some serious words in a funny tone to comfort her. Unexpectedly, she used the topic to make use of it, so he had to follow the words just now and argue with difficulty:
"There's no point in confessing to one's own siblings. How weird. Siblings are for doing things, not for intimacy."
"Ouch~!" Wen Liang stared at He Tianran's right hand and said jokingly: "I can understand other metaphors you mentioned, but I really don't believe you when you say you don't want to be intimate with your hand!"
When He Tianran came to his senses, he didn't know where to put his hands. The girl's black driving made him blush, and he argued:
"You...ahem, that's too much! And I'm talking about the arms, not the palms, okay!"
"You're chewing words in front of me, right~"
"I'm telling the truth, that's right."
"Okay~"
As Wen Liang spoke, he suddenly raised his arm under the short sleeves of his T-shirt, lowered his head and kissed her hard, "Oh~", and then stretched out his white lotus-like arm.
"I'm not your brother or sister, I'm all one of my own. Come on, give me a kiss, and I'll believe what you say."
"..."
These two people, one dares to speak, the other dares to do, when they come together, the air becomes ambiguous and anxious...
"...No, I...I have nothing to do, so why are you sucking your hand? There isn't even a ounce of meat in that place. When I suck it, it's all bones..."
"Oh, I understand, you want to kiss your thigh, right? Yes, I can satisfy your little fetish~"
With that said, Wen Liang pulled up her pants, revealing a graceful calf. When she was about to continue pulling up, He Tianran stopped her.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, yes, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
"Ah, it turns out you were describing my whole person, not just my arms and legs, right?"
The warm movements stopped, and the trouser legs fell down, covering the newly exposed calves.
He Tianran breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard the other party's rhetorical question, he instantly became vigilant and did not dare to explain any more...
"If you are describing me, then you might as well kiss my face~!"
Wen Liang raised her cheek and moved her right cheek towards her.
"I...I didn't say I wanted to kiss you..."
"What's wrong with you kissing your own limbs! Just like I did just now, is there anything embarrassing about that?"
"No...can this be the same?!"
"It's the same! As for the brachial and femoral limbs, you said it. If you don't kiss me, how can I believe that you really treat me as one of your own?"
The girl deliberately closed her eyes, raised her chin slightly, and raised the corners of her mouth, looking alluring and ready to take whatever you want. But if you look closely, you can see that her eyelashes are trembling slightly, and the fingers on her legs are curled up and tightened, indicating that she I was also very nervous inside, not as relaxed as I showed on my face...
It's a pity that He Tianran hasn't discovered this yet. His mind is buzzing and he is about to explode, so he can't pay attention to details.
"Don't do it, don't do it... Today the side photographer is here to shoot the behind-the-scenes. Come on, someone is here to look over!"
He Tianran reminded him anxiously. Wen Liang also opened his eyes in panic. He subconsciously looked around and found that everyone was working and no one was looking here. Then he turned his head. I don't know because he was frightened by He Tianran and showed his timidity. , or because the other party didn't move, the blush on her cheeks remained, but her eyes were staring at He Tianran with helpless anger.
"..."
"..."
Compared with the girl's enthusiasm, this look of silence and resentment made He Tianran even more uneasy.
"You lied to me. You didn't regard me as one of your own. What you just said was all a lie."
"... Then there's no need to kiss, it's very strange."
Wen Liang stopped talking, turned his head, and shifted his gaze elsewhere. The two of them had nothing to say for a while. It wasn't until half a minute passed that the girl whispered in a low voice:
"...I only take the initiative towards those I like."
"..."
I don’t want to cause misunderstandings and grudges to the people I like because of my enthusiasm and initiative.
He Tianran understood what she meant, but it was not easy for him to respond to her feelings...
"I... I'm actually a little worried about the lives of you, Sui Chulang, and Gu Qiaoman on the set in the future. After all, we are all under the same roof now, and we can't see each other when we look up."
No longer entangled in the relationship between the two, He Tianran brought the topic back on track. Although it was difficult for him to respond to Wen Liang's feelings, he could still help with some matters other than love. At the same time, the relationship between the actors The harmonious relationship will also affect the normal work of the crew.
Another point is that He Tianran really doesn't like Wen Liang breaking any more negative news about his discord with the cast and crew. Even though the probability of this happening is very low, it's always a good thing to take precautions before they happen.
In order to prove that he values Wen Liang, He Tianran suggested:
"How about I take over the game and treat you three to dinner tonight."
"……Can."
Although the probability of having an old friend to bury the hatchet is very small, Wen Liang would not refuse such an opportunity. However, after she finished her casual answer, she suddenly thought of something and immediately added:
"But I have conditions."
"What conditions?"
"I will decide where to eat, you must agree to it."
"Okay, I promise you, you are helping me solve my problems, otherwise I would have to think of a place to go."
He Tianran agreed without thinking. Seeing Wen Liang's mood return to normal, he smiled and said:
"Where do you want to eat? Is there any old place you used to have that is particularly memorable?"
Wen Liang shook his head:
"No, I just want to have a good meal, but I don't want it to be too ordinary. Why not go to your house? It's still close to here."
"My...my home?"
"Yes, it's the best place in Nanshan. It's a big mansion and a big villa. Not to mention that your family is so rich, and you don't even have a cook at home!"
Wen Hu smiled slyly.
