Nathan New Road
Let's put aside the matter of turning the world upside down for now. Before that, we still have to experience the plan of being a rich and famous lady and living in a state of luxury.
Compared with Sanlitun in the capital, Taikoo Li in Chengdu is located on Nathan New Road on the south bank of the Tumo River. For the port city, it is a place that integrates shopping, dining, and entertainment.
It is home to top fashion brands and high-end luxury stores from all over the world, and is only four kilometers away from the Zhuguang Lane film and television area. The entire block is full of various artistic buildings and shopping activities planned from the beginning. There are countless creative billboards on the street. It can be said that walking here, you are always surrounded by the atmosphere of money in the modern city.
He Tianran stood on the street with a lot of people coming and going, and withdrew his eyes from the naked-eye 3D screen of a large shopping mall, where a special effects creative advertisement for "Surf Line" had just been played.
"Director He, did you also make that advertisement?"
As he stepped forward, Wen Liang, who was wearing a mask, and A Liu, who was holding a selfie stick, walked up to him.
Since this is a pedestrian street, a few people just came up from the underground parking lot.
He Tianran denied, "It's not me. There are so many advertisements for surfing lines. It would be exhausting for me to do all the estimates. But the projects are all sent from me. That film is from a company that I have cooperated with." It was made by a special effects company. Speaking of which, their company has only been established for more than a year, but the skills of the founders are very good. I used them for the post-production special effects of "A Thousand Knots of Hearts" before. This time, they were even more powerful when filming "The Wild Heart". I got involved very early, and last month I drew some special effects drawings for teacher A Liu and me to refer to.”
A Liu on the side agreed: "Yes, when I was writing the script, I also had a meeting with people from their company and asked them if they could achieve the effect I had in mind."
Although work such as special effects editing is done in the post-production stage, whether it is the early script stage or shooting, sufficient margin must be left for the post-production stage and planned well, otherwise it will be very troublesome.
Wen Liang looked back at the most eye-catching screen above the street. Surf Line's advertisement was played twice every ten minutes, and what was playing now was a well-known cosmetics advertisement endorsed by the movie queen Tang Wei.
He Tianran remembered Wen Liang telling her that she had rejected Teacher Long's proposal to join the theater after graduation because she wanted to be famous.
This kind of "popularity" certainly does not rely on hype to gain popularity, otherwise she would not be so disgusted with Li Lan's marketing methods for her.
The man looked at the girl next to him looking at the advertisement. He did not say any words of encouragement or promises such as "You will definitely become popular in the future." He just smiled and said:
"Actually, in my opinion, Wen Liang, you are of a higher class than a rich lady or something like that."
"Why?"
Wen Liang turned his head.
He Tianran shrugged: "Because others wear masks to facilitate concealment, but you wear a mask because you are afraid of being recognized by others. Just like when I walk on the street, I don't have such worries at all, so what do you feel like today?" The life of a celebrity really makes you downward compatible."
Wen Liang, who was wearing a mask, was stunned for a moment, then she arched her eyebrows and smiled, and asked deliberately:
"Then what is the socialite in Director He's mind, or in other words, the modern version of Yu Wen?"
"In my mind?"
A Liu next to him also started cheering:
"That's right. Since you are trying out the character, let's just do the show to the end. When we go shopping later, Director He, you can help Wen Liang transform it based on your opinion of the character. How about it?"
"No... Teacher A Liu, as the character's biological mother, you have more say in this matter than me, right?"
He Tianran had a dark look on his face.
A Liu smiled and said, "I believe you, Director He."
Wen Liang even clapped his hands together and said in agreement:
"Oh, Teacher A Liu, why don't you follow us? Director He, I have always praised your aesthetics on the Internet, but when filming, teachers such as art, photography, and Fu Hua Dao are all helping you. This is you It’s a good time to prove yourself alone! Let’s see if you have a straight aesthetic or if you really have one!”
"……Fine."
Being challenged by the two girls singing along, He Tianran had no choice but to agree.
Transformation?
Hey……
In fact, he rarely goes shopping with girls seriously in recent years. In the past, when Cao Aiqing was still in China, the two of them often went shopping on Universe Street in the university town. However, since the girl went to study abroad, such opportunities have become less and less.
The main reason is that the holidays of British universities are different from those in China. Cao Aiqing comes back once a year for the Christmas holiday, which is basically from early December to mid-January, mainly for Christmas and New Year's Day, but the winter holidays in China are all in mid-January. By the end of February, the Spring Festival will be celebrated.
So whenever Cao Aiqing returned to China, He Tianran was in class. At that time, when he was in the first year of graduate school, he was not as free as he is now. The two of them took the time to meet each other. When they were in the second year of graduate school, they happened to meet He Tianran again while filming "A Thousand Knots of Hearts" "The two of them didn't see each other for a whole year, and it wasn't until January of next year, that is, this year, that they met once again.
It stands to reason that He Tianran, who has taken a film management class for an extra year, will graduate with a master's degree next June, which happens to be four years after Cao Aiqing returned from his master's degree. But now the girl wants to work there for a few more years, so I don't know if she has to wait. How long……
The three of them strolled into the building where the naked-eye advertisement had been played, which itself was a large shopping mall called New Muse.
This mall was only completed in April this year. It is backed by the Tumo River. It is ten stories high and covers an area of nearly 110,000 square meters. The mall is home to many internationally renowned brands, independent designer fashion stores, and a series of exquisite shopping malls. Restaurants and food areas.
The most unique thing in the mall is undoubtedly an eye-catching art installation in the central hall.
This art installation is composed of many stainless steel tubes and colored glass. The curved steel tubes are intertwined and extend to the ceiling. Colored glass is scattered among them, like a suspended rainbow. Sunlight shines through the tall glass curtain wall and shines on this art installation. Let the brilliance of stained glass flow in the surrounding space, creating a dreamlike visual effect.
If Nathan Street is a shopping paradise, then this is undoubtedly the center of paradise.
Wen Liang was pulled by A Liu to take a few photos. He Tianran looked up at this huge art installation, thinking that if Ai Qing was here, he would be happy to tell him about some of the decoration styles and design concepts...
"Why, standing here alone and pretending to be serious, you are... seeing things and thinking about people, right?"
Wen Liang walked quietly to He Tianran. The man recovered his thoughts and looked at A Liu, who was not far away and was taking a selfie with a mobile phone holder. Obviously, their part was not recorded in the video.
"You know it again."
"Is it difficult to guess? You must have done this with the girl you like many times~!"
There was no camera facing them, so the two of them chatted a little more freely. Wen Liang put his hands behind his back and spoke in a sinister tone.
He Tianran rolled his eyes, "Please, this mall only opened in April this year. Others are studying in the UK and come back once a year. If you want to buy something, why don't you just buy it in Europe? You have to go back to your country."
"Oh, I'm just talking casually. I don't know much about your private life, Master He. Now that you tell me, I'll know~"
Wen Liang raised her eyebrows slightly and looked away. She got the information she wanted through one sentence of conversation. The fingers behind her back were jabbed and relaxed twice.
"Shall we... look at the clothes first, the bags or the shoes? Director, have you made up your mind? I'm waiting for you to give orders!"
The girl moved a step closer to He Tianran and stood tall and graceful.
The two were very close, and a familiar berry fragrance penetrated He Tianran's nose. However, since Wen Liang stayed at his home yesterday, the smell of this perfume was much lighter, and he had to be very close to smell it.
This scent gave He Tianran shopping inspiration, and he subconsciously said:
"Let me help you choose the perfume first."
This answer made Wen Liang's eyes light up.
"Are you sure? I know a lot about perfume! Don't try to act like a sword in front of Guan Gong~!"
At this time, A Liu also came over after taking the photo. She, who was in charge of the shooting, recorded the scene, but she was a little puzzled by it and interjected:
"What, Director He, do you want to choose the perfume first? Normally, this would be a good answer, but unfortunately the audience can't see or smell it. I feel... it has no effect on transformation."
He Tianran shook his head:
"Although the sense of smell is not as intuitive as visual changes, its impact on people's memory is actually more profound. A long-lost smell can even awaken more primitive memories in the brain, and smell can shape a person even more. You and I When strangers meet, you may forget the other person’s hairstyle, clothing, and even appearance in the future, but you will definitely not forget the smell the other person exudes, whether it is bad breath, perfume, or the smell of shampoo emanating from the hair. This is an independent Impressions beyond visual memory..."
The three of them started walking around the mall. He Tianran continued as he walked:
"Although this kind of olfactory impression will not be perceived by the audience outside the screen, when we are filming, the actors have to communicate with each other personally. They will definitely be able to sense the opponent's state on the scene, which will be reflected in the performance. Since we want to help Wen Liang enter the character and experience life, we have to do it from the inside out. It’s not enough to just do good visual effects.”
A Liu, who had always focused on writing in the past, was very impressed and nodded repeatedly.
From the screenwriter's point of view, they will never write about the smell of this character, unless it is a special situation like "The fragrant concubine attracts butterflies". When it comes to the shooting process, these visual aspects cannot be seen. Most of the small work is done by the actors themselves, and the director may not even take care of it.
"Hahaha, I was tricked into it by an actor showing off his wealth, but I didn't expect to learn some useful knowledge."
"Sure enough, the rich second generation also has their own expertise. Although I don't understand the specific working methods of the director and the crew, but I can think of these minute details, and I guess the quality of the final product of this drama should be of the type worth looking forward to. "
"I just discovered that He Tianran was the director who made "A Thousand Knots of Hearts" last year. I also followed him last year, but before I heard this name, I always associated it with his rich father. At a glance, This second-generation rich man has a very upright attitude towards his work as a director."
…
He Tianran's words were put into the film intact. Unknowingly, the audience's focus had long been shifted from the villain's daughter's extravagant day to his interaction with Wen Liang and the episode "In the Wild" on the preparatory work.
There is no point in simply showing off your wealth.
This was the consensus reached by He Tianran and Wen Liang before the vlog shooting.
Showing off wealth is more of a gimmick, and it must be there, but it certainly cannot be the focus of the Vlog. If it just shows how expensive something is and how luxurious the life of the rich is, it will certainly arouse the curiosity of the audience, but it is also easy to Let the audience feel a kind of distance, thus generating feelings of disgust and opposition.
There are all kinds of people on the Internet. Everyone lives in different classes, sees, hears, and lives differently. Since this video is intended for the Internet public, we must know how to avoid this kind of "hatred of the rich" phenomenon and find ways to A more acceptable way is to pretend to experience life, but in fact it is to enter the role and achieve the effect of promoting the film, or...
Knock CP.
I have to say that this trick is really easy to use. Even if people have different material conditions, their emotions are the same. Just like there are always people on the Internet who complain that life is too hard, but after watching some love stories with heavy script traces, During the variety show, I always show a sincere smile, rarely paying attention to the fake plot design.
Nowadays, the pace of life is so fast. Everyone is focused on material things. No matter what class they are in, everyone envies beautiful things, but they also know that falling in love costs money and time. Once relationships involve costs, it becomes extremely realistic and realistic. cruel.
But having a CP is different. It’s like skipping the reality link, outsourcing your ideal love relationship, and letting this couple complete it for you, thereby using the lowest cost to get a kind of relationship that is the same as falling in love with yourself. Mentally happy.
And this is exactly the opposite of the disgust caused by watching others "show off their wealth". On the contrary, the more real and addictive the CP is.
Therefore, Director He Tianran's status as a rich second-generation actor and a warm and cool third-tier actor just maximized this effect, making people think and yet feel extremely real. Therefore, the scene of showing off wealth in the vlog actually made this pair of CP Reasonably established background conditions.
And both of them are quite good at things. Just like what He Tianran said just now, from olfactory memory to the influence of character actors on each other during filming, he was indeed talking about work-related topics, but Wen Liang was the same throughout the whole process. They all looked at him with gleaming eyes, as if they were looking at something they loved, as if what the other person said reached their hearts.
He Tianran didn't notice this look, but the audience saw it clearly.
This look can be understood as the director's preparation before filming, making the actors feel professional and empathetic, but doesn't love begin to sprout from these subtle words and actions?
In fact, what Wen Liang was thinking at the moment was, what impression did you have when you saw me in Fanbei Tongjin last time?
Because it was a bit ambiguous to say this in front of A Liu, the girl did not say it out loud, but reflected it in her eyes.
But this kind of hazy and unclear details makes the audience want to stop and have wild imagination.
I'm a little busy during the May Day period, so I'm sorry. By the way, in order to avoid the "up, middle and three down" title format from appearing again, I have given up on writing serial numbers for the titles of these chapters...
