(Since the previous chapter was set to be paid, this chapter is now free.)
The three of them walked and chatted through the mall, and A Liu's camera followed the two of them closely.
Although He Tianran proposed the idea of buying perfume, he actually didn't know much about perfume. Fortunately, Wen Liang didn't embarrass him. This kind of shopping with only one idea but no clear goal is not It's suitable to go to a perfume counter of a single brand, or even more suitable to go to a boutique store where brands are mixed together.
Obviously, Wen Liang was very knowledgeable about this and led a few people to find a suitable store in a remote corner on the fifth floor of the mall.
The three of them stepped into this space filled with all kinds of fragrances. The store was elegantly decorated, and the soft lights shone on the dazzling array of perfume bottles, reflecting a charming light. A Liu was attracted by this atmosphere, and his eyes lingered on the perfumes on the shelves. between bottles.
A fashionably dressed female shopkeeper came forward and recognized Wen Liang, a regular customer, at a glance, and greeted her warmly.
"Big star, long time no see."
"Just kidding, Sister Ya, we are shooting a Vlog today, and we might photograph your store. Do you mind?"
"Oh, I wish you could help me promote it."
The two women chatted and laughed for a while. Wen Liang took off his mask in the store and introduced He Tianran:
"This is Sister Ya, a makeup teacher I met on the set before. Later she found it too hard to work on the set, so she changed her profession and opened her own shop. Because we both have a hobby of perfume, we have always kept in touch. Sister Ya, This is Director He Tianran, and this is the famous writer and screenwriter Mr. A Liu."
The female shopkeeper didn't know He Tianran very well, but she should have read A Liu's works. After hearing Wen Liang's introduction that this was the author, her eyes lit up, and she started talking about the time she had read A Liu's masterpieces when she was a student. A period of feverish time and sleepless nights.
A Liu was so flattered that the fan shop owner even said anxiously to Wen Liang:
"A-Liang, please check the store for me first. Teacher A-Liu, please wait a moment. I will go to the bookstore upstairs to buy your copy. Please sign it for me! I have missed several of your autograph sessions. I won’t let it go no matter what this time!”
Seeing A Liu's surprise and bewilderment, He Tianran and Wen Liang turned away and smiled from ear to ear.
Although A Liu is not like artists like Wen Liang, who is afraid of being recognized when walking on the street and disturbs her life, her pen name is highly respected among some female readers and has attracted widespread attention. The pen name "A Liu" is very popular among female readers. Frequency is a god-level existence that is well-known, and she entered the industry early. Many fans have a filter of her youth, so it is not uncommon to encounter such things.
"Just buy a copy of "Inner Wilds". It will be made into a movie soon. If your copy is signed by Teacher A Liu, it will be of great significance."
He Tianran was happy to add firewood to the fire.
"Really?!" The shop owner's eyes widened with joy, and he said non-stop: "Then I'll go buy it now. Please wait for me a moment. Liang, you pick it up first. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, the female shopkeeper left in a hurry, leaving the three people in the shop standing there. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all couldn't help laughing.
He Tianran joked: "This time when I went out, I thought Wen Liang would be recognized first, followed by me. I didn't expect that the first lucky fan turned out to be Teacher A Liu. Wow, how about Teacher A Liu?" , how do you feel?"
A Liu lamented: "In the past, people only knew that A Liu was me only at book signings or participating in some public events. As an author, I code at home every day and don't have to show up in public. Occasionally, I have held several private fan meetings." Yes, it's all on a very small scale. This is not the first time that I have been recognized by fans, but the feeling is different..."
Wen Liang smiled and said, "Did you record it?"
A Liu realized later that he was still holding a selfie stick in his hand, "What... Oops, I didn't record this part..."
"How about we wait for the shop owner to come back and record a supplementary section? After all, this is Teacher A Liu's highlight moment. I'll take the photo." He Tianran suggested.
Alyu paused for a few seconds and shook his head:
"Forget it, I'm a homebody and don't like to show my face, so I don't need such exposure. I just hope that A Liu, as the screenwriter this time, can live up to the expectations of these book fans and their support for me and my works over the years. support."
Upon seeing this, He Tianran and Wen Liang looked at each other, smiled at each other, and then seemed to have a tacit understanding. The man said first:
"Don't worry, Teacher A Liu. You are the great screenwriter who is supervising the filming on site. You can stop the filming at any time. We can discuss everything from the actors' performances to the plot arrangement."
The girl followed closely, "Yes, Teacher A Liu, I will also go all out for the role of 'Yu Wen' and will not disappoint your expectations! By the way, do you want me to help recommend a perfume? I feel like There is a fragrance that is particularly suitable for you. It has an intellectual and bookish scent. Let me look for it~"
After she said that, she started to pick and choose on the shelves.
The enthusiasm, trust, and tacit understanding that the two people showed in this short moment made Aliu's eyes suddenly heat up. This feeling that came over her all at once made her say coyly:
"I...well...I...I'd better take another photo..."
"ha?"
He Tianran was stunned for a moment, and his gentle movements of picking out perfume stopped, and the two of them looked at her again.
A Liu looked at the young and promising director on the left and the beautiful actor on the right. Then her face turned red for no apparent reason. She lowered her head and denied it at first:
"Don't get me wrong, it's not me who wants to retake photos and people are asking me for autographs..."
Then she raised her eyes again, feeling happy but a little embarrassed, and made a small gesture:
"Just... just the look and understanding between the two of you just now, and then they both thought about me... I... I really bumped into... really! Uh, do you want to do it again? I don't think this clip is good. It's a pity to put it in the film...and I can use it as a reference when I write something later..."
He Tianran and Wen Liang: "..."
Look, what is professionalism?
Even though I was moved, I didn’t forget to keep the inspiration...
"Ahem... forget it, if you ask me to perform deliberately again, I will definitely be embarrassed. I'm not a professional actor..."
He Tianran evaded a sentence bluntly.
Wen Liang glanced at him, raised the corners of her eyes, picked up a sample of a perfume at hand, and said naturally:
"Vlogging must be natural and authentic. Such a remake will be fake. Teacher A Liu, smell this perfume..."
She handed the bottled sample to A Liu, who took it and sprayed half a pump on his wrist, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it, then listened to Wen Liang's introduction:
"This is Gucci's green flower. It's a very refreshing floral fragrance. It smells very comfortable, without that overpowering smell. The overall base is jasmine, and the base notes are woody. It's a bit like walking in your own back garden. It feels very elegant, hardly picks the occasion, and is in line with your usual unassuming and bookish atmosphere, Teacher A Liu."
After hearing this, A Liu nodded and acknowledged:
"I like the smell of this very much. I used to use Jo Malone's Blue Wind Chime, but that one would get a bit greasy after a long time. This one just feels right. Ah Liang, you really know how to choose. You pick yours first. I'll see how long the top fragrance lasts, and I'll smell it after you're done."
Wen Liang's casual fragrance review put a lot of pressure on He Tianran, who knew nothing about perfumes. If he had known better, he would have let this girl choose...
"It seems that what you said just now that you know perfume very well is true."
Wen Liang put his hands on his hips and asked with a cute look on his face: "When did I ever lie to you?"
A Liu had already started recording again and suggested with a smile:
"It's time to put some pressure on Director He. Why don't you, Liang, help Director He make a choice first? Give him a sample, and then let him help you choose."
When Wen Liang heard this, without waiting for He Tianran's reaction, he immediately stretched out his little head and sniffed at his collar. This sudden close distance made He Tianran's whole body freeze, and he wanted to take a step back, but Out of a man's dignity and decency, he finally stayed where he was.
The pretty girl close at hand raised her eyes and said narrowly:
"Hermes land?"
"Um……"
"How long has it been used?"
"Probably... I've been using it since I was in college."
"Choose it yourself?"
"So... right?"
Because He Tianran wanted to pursue Cao Aiqing after attending the University of Hong Kong, he decided to make some changes to his original introverted self. At first, he actually changed the perfume many times. Then one day, Cao Aiqing said that the smell on him was very... It smelled good and was very comfortable. He happened to be wearing this perfume that day, so to this day, several years later, he continues to use it.
"Um--"
Wen Liang understood something from He Tianran's slightly evasive eyes. She withdrew her head from the man's collar. Without saying anything more, her face remained as usual, and she gave serious advice:
"At least it's the public's choice, so you can't go wrong, which is good. However, this fragrance is suitable for the period when you, Director He, were in college or just entered the society. Now... it's a bit unsuitable."
In front of the camera, He Tianran didn't notice anything wrong with Wen Liang. He asked:
"Really? I think it's okay. What do you recommend?"
"If it were now, I would recommend it to you..."
Wen Liang slowly searched and thought in the store. Her slender white fingers ran across the perfumes on the shelf one by one, and finally she decisively picked out a sample bottle:
"This Aventus, or maybe it's called Napoleon's water, although its name is very domineering and mostly used by men, it is actually a unisex perfume that can be used by both men and women, just like the earth you are using now."
Wen Liang said as she pressed a pump of perfume and sprayed it into the air between her and He Tianran. A fruity fragrance that was completely different from the woody fragrance currently used on He Tianran floated into their nostrils.
This smell was different from the fresh berry scent exuded by Wen Liang. He Tianran couldn't describe it well, but he fell in love with it at first smell.
"This perfume opens with the fruity aroma of pineapple. The reason why it gives people a sense of maturity and confidence rather than that kind of fruity fragrance is because the fruity pineapple aroma is more like that of smoked pineapple. Among them Strength and calmness are due to this smoky feeling, and it is also the reason why many men love it..."
He put his warm hand on the tip of his nose to move, sniffed, and continued:
"Apple and blackcurrant are also added here. This rich fruity aroma feels very elegant and leisurely. After half an hour, the fruity aroma fades and the woody aroma emerges. Birch and cedar wood will create a An upright and high-spirited aura.
Its overall fragrance will give people a high-spirited impression, rather than a simple milk dog, aloof male god or a wanderer. This scent is more like a young knight about to embark on a journey, giving people unlimited reverie and hope. , is writing his legendary story.
So I feel that this bottle of perfume is more suitable for you now..."
Wen Liang finally handed the perfume sample in her hand to He Tianran. Before taking it back, her fingers gently scratched the man's palm...
This moment made He Tianran suddenly excited. He was suddenly stunned when he listened just now, and then he realized that Wen Liang was using the name of perfume to imply something to him...
The girl hid her thoughts and actions so well that nothing could be seen in the film. The audience who didn't know the cause and effect would only recognize Wen Liang's expertise in perfume. Even A Liu who was at the scene couldn't notice anything strange. .
This is a feeling that only the two of them can understand. An indescribable ambiguity, excitement and entanglement rise in He Tianran's mind. What's even more disgusting is that these emotions seem to have substance with the help of the scent of perfume. It entered He Tianran's nasal cavity, penetrated into his heart, and began to jump up and down unscrupulously.
And just when his mind was spinning and he didn't know how to deal with this matter in front of the camera, Wen Hu, who had just flirted with him, had a teasing smile in the corner of his eyes again, and asked more bluntly:
"Director He, what do you think?"
