The crew's New Year's Eve program was all for everyone's enjoyment, and the focus was on joy. There was nothing formal about it, but watching these famous celebrities celebrate the New Year with me, singing, dancing and performing on stage for free. If their respective fans were involved, the scene would be crazy, so from this aspect, this is indeed a benefit of working on the crew.
As a supporting role, they enjoy the relaxation of supporting roles at this time. At least the group of management sitting at the main table will not pay too much attention to them and can fully enjoy the joy of the festival.
So Wen Liang can let her perform whether she wants to or not. He Tianran will not force it at all. Moreover, in this kind of situation, the social tasks of the top people are greater than anything else. Passing cups and cups, raising funds and raising money, few people will really put their minds into it. On performance.
What is this like? Anyway, for He Tianran, it is like celebrating the New Year when he was a child. A bunch of unknown uncles and aunts came to the house to pay He Panshan New Year greetings. During the meal, they talked about all kinds of work and career New Year plans. , As a child, I felt very boring and didn’t want to hear it, so I followed Ma Wang and those people’s children and went out to set off firecrackers. I thought the Chinese New Year was really interesting.
As for now, this kind of happiness is reversed in today's situation.
After the banquet, He Tianran quickly changed places, took the wine glass and went to the main table. He imitated the appearance of He Panshan in his memory and entertained colleagues and leaders from Penguin and Shanhai.
After a while, the person in charge of Penguin and He Tianran each represented the group behind them, and took the stage to express their New Year's wishes and thanks to the crew of "Inside the Wild". During this period, staff members were constantly responsible for distributing red envelopes to the entire crew present. , which makes everyone’s face beam with joy.
After finishing his speech, He Tianran brought a surprise to the whole group. As the lights in the banquet hall gradually dimmed, the first trailer of "Inside the Wild" was surprisingly played on the projection screen behind him. piece!
This trailer was edited from the filming materials of the past few months. This was all done silently by He Tianran and the post-production team. In addition to A Liu and several senior executives, including actors, screenwriters, photographers and other creative teams, there are also It was the first time for many behind-the-scenes workers in the audience to see their work of the past six months unfold before their eyes.
It is true that a trailer is not enough to prove the quality of the final film, but the staff who personally participated in the filming task understand the bitterness and sweetness of it all too well, and this trailer is no matter whether it is picture editing, special effects coloring, or dubbing The soundtrack is already very complete, and it is different from the assembly-line temperament of similar costumed and competing film and television dramas on the market. This trailer has a high-standard texture and a strong personal touch of the director that is visible to the naked eye.
The vastness and splendor of the desert in the early stage, the unrestrained and freehand brushwork of the rivers and lakes in the middle stage, and the treacherous clouds of the temple in the later stage are all presented to everyone. All the scenes that can be used are real scenes. He Tianran likes that kind of nature very much, and it has strong visual contrast. The director, the female widow in black holding a white horse and dragging a body in the desert, the daughter of a woman in distress who followed the people to hide under the eaves in the market during the pouring rain, and the woman who was hiding among the people taking shelter from the rain, not far away from her. Far away, the ranger, who has sensed danger, presses his hand on the hilt of his sword, ready to take action.
Whether it is about people or scenes, every frame in the trailer seems to be able to be cut out and used as wallpaper, and He Tianran's persistence is obvious to all. Originally, the scene in the desert should have been completed long ago, but as the season enters winter, The weather was not as bright as he expected, so the entire crew came to Hengdian in advance, planning to finish filming all the scenes in the imperial city in advance, and then return to the northwest when spring warms up in March and April.
The textual story that originally only existed in the script turned out to be truly stunning in the end. Even if it was only for a minute, this moment was undoubtedly exciting.
The light and shadow emitted by the film reflected in everyone's pupils and shone on everyone's face. A Liu, who was sitting in the audience, had moist eyes. From time to time, people around her said blessing words. She thanked them one by one, and then wiped away her tears. She quickly immersed herself in the content of the trailer. As the original author and screenwriter of the film, she felt particularly strongly at this moment.
Gu Qiaoman, who was at the main table, was also watching the trailer intently. The performance of the heroine in the film made her heart surge, and she couldn't help but utter a whisper that no one else could hear:
"I have never looked so beautiful..."
The fact that He Tianran is good at photographing beauties has been talked about by fans of Bai Lingye since the last movie "A Thousand Knots of Hearts", but it is not so much that he is good at photographing beauties, it is more like the above, he just Adhering to one's own aesthetic requirements.
When filming the scenes in the desert, he requested that the characters in this period need some sunburned and rough makeup. The reason he gave was that a girl in such an environment would not be so white and tender that her face would ooze water.
This is actually a very correct and logical requirement, but in fact, except for some realistic themes, almost no female protagonist would do this in idol dramas.
Because even if the actor is willing, the company that packages and designs her image will reject this request. This acceptance is entirely due to He Tianran's tough attitude as an investor representative and Gu Qiaoman's desperate move under the pressure of broadening the drama. , if He Tianran was just a director, he really might not be able to get the capital behind Gu Qiaoman to let go and take the risk.
After all, even if this girl doesn't transform, she can still make money for several years by relying on her unchanging sweet personality.
Facts have proved that the result of this desperate risk at the expense of one's own image is absolutely correct, because as the plot scenes progress, the changes in the characters' makeup and dressing up give people a very obvious sense of hierarchy and reality. In addition, He Tianran and photographer Zhong Ziqi worked very hard on the use of lighting. As a result, her acting skills were mediocre and her appearance did not fit the prototype of the character. She actually relied on acquired images to make the character a little more sophisticated. Fresh and three-dimensional!
While Gu Qiaoman sighed in her heart, she intentionally or unintentionally looked at Wen Liang, who was sitting not far away. At this time, she was also focusing on the trailer.
In the film, the college class president doesn't have many scenes compared to the two leading actors, but in those few fleeting shots, she is like a sudden glimpse, which is enough to amaze her.
Unlike herself, who needs to be retouched as an actress, Wen Liang... is the kind of girl who doesn't need to dress up deliberately, but just sits there and makes people feel pleasing to the eye.
What exudes from her body is not the kind of exquisite but lifeless beauty, but a kind of confident and unfinished charm. She is very beautiful, but it makes people feel very extraordinary. It is unforgettable at a glance and has full appeal.
The most direct proof is that every time the picture of Wen Liang appears, several management executives at her table will involuntarily turn their heads and look in her direction.
Gu Qiaoman also discovered a detail. In this one-minute trailer, although the characters had their own performances, she and Wen Liang never appeared in the same shot, and there were not even trivial shots connected together...
This actually illustrates a problem...
A girl with attractive appearance and strong temperament, she is destined to leave a strong and aggressive impression on others.
"You are really lucky to meet Director He to praise you..."
As if she felt something strange looking at her, Wen Liang turned her head and looked around, finding nothing, thinking that maybe she was being too preoccupied.
After the film ended, the lights in the banquet hall came back on, and the whole crew burst into thunderous applause, with endless praises and cheers.
The release of this trailer is undoubtedly a stimulant. No one will be happy to see that all the hard work and time they put in will end up with a bad movie.
Although in a commercial film crew, it is the salary and work that bring everyone together, but this sense of spiritual accomplishment is really the best way for a person to maintain long-term enthusiasm and devote himself to work sincerely.
At this point, He Tianran, who is in charge of the overall situation as the director, has indeed given everyone an experience. Even though the crew is still at the stage where "the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still have to work hard," through this, everyone knows that " The future of the film "Into the Wild" is undoubtedly bright!
Afterwards, He Tianran said a few more concluding remarks before bowing off the stage. Before, he might have been teased by some veterans of the crew because of his young age. The twenty-five-year-old director wanted to let these hundreds of people It is obviously unrealistic for the caller's team to be convinced, but after today, no one will doubt his ability as a director.
"Director Xiao He is really young and talented. Although the industry is different from Mr. He, you have almost led this big team at such a young age. I have to say, Xiao He, you are really a good father. The wind!"
"Thank you, Uncle Wang. I still have many things to ask and learn from seniors like you and dad."
He Tianran walked back to the table with a half smile and a half indifference. The person who praised him was the supervisor in charge of the surf line video business at Shanhai, a middle-aged man in his early fifties. At the same time, he was also a He is a veteran who has fought with He Panshan for many years.
After taking a seat and raising a glass, He Tianran drank the wine line by line after accepting the praises and compliments from all around. Some staff came over excitedly to toast to him after watching the preview, and he also accepted all who came.
The music on the stage encouraged Sui Chulang to perform a song and dance. He originally debuted in a boy band, but now he has temporarily returned to his old profession. His handsome appearance and neat movements caused the female colleagues in the audience to scream. Even some of the hotel's waitresses gathered in the corners of the banquet hall, holding cell phones and whispering with fanaticism on their faces.
Not far away, Hu Yue glanced at the scene at the main table and turned his head again, picked up the bowl and took a few bites of rice, then vaguely raised a topic:
"Hey, do you know? Director He actually has an obvious bad habit after drinking too much."
Wen Liang asked curiously: "What?"
"Huizi, do you know?"
Hu Yue didn't answer, but asked Yu Hui. He was the one who got along with He Tianran the closest, and he must have had the most drinks at parties. But when asked this question, Yu Hui could only give a vague and uncertain answer. :
"You just know how to be empty-headed, right? Others talk a lot and get drunk when they drink too much, but Brother Tianran... seems to be quite quiet after drinking too much."
"How much can you drink?"
"Me? Just half a piece of beer."
"Then you can't do it. This is definitely not the right thing. Your natural brother is much better than you. Being empty is just his first stage. If you had seen his true state of drunkenness, you would definitely not say that he was quiet."
"Yeah?"
Yu Hui couldn't believe it. Cai Jueming on the side couldn't stand it anymore and said in disgust:
"Hu Xiucai, please do it. You're a talented person who starts asking for help after just three bottles of beer. How can you be so embarrassed to talk to someone like Director Yu? And is this 'Huizi' your name? You have to call me Brother Hui! No!" Big or small.”
"Yes, yes, it's my fault. Come on, Brother Hui, let's go."
"Hey, no, you can scream whatever you feel comfortable with."
Seeing several men starting to drink again, Wen Liang, who was originally very interested in the original topic, said hurriedly:
"Hey, hey, don't just drink. Let's finish talking. What will happen if He Tianran gets drunk?"
"Director He likes to tell the truth when he's drunk. And if you ask him, he will answer honestly. It's so interesting. He told us his WeChat payment password last time."
Cai Jueming, who was picking up vegetables, answered Wenliang's questions for Hu Yue, who was drinking.
"Why didn't I know when it happened?"
Hearing the girl continue to ask, Cai Jueming began to beam with joy, as if the happy scene was just yesterday. He put a piece of meat in the bowl and didn't rush to eat it, and added:
"It was probably a week before our crew started shooting. At that time, Sister Liang and you actors were still training in the martial arts school. Director He invited us buddies behind the scenes to have a dinner together to get acquainted with each other. At that time, I, Hu Yue, Brother Zhong, and A few buddies who do special effects and editing, all members of the Luohan Bureau, went to a food stall in He Dao's community, barbecued lobster and beer, and the sky was dark, and the sun and the moon were dark!"
He suddenly remembered the day after meeting He Tianran. The girl went to their company to investigate the shooting materials under the pretext of her birthday. In the evening, all the employees of the company celebrated her birthday. At that time, she, Sister Taozi and Teacher A Liu all drank However, He Tianran didn't do anything wrong and even sent the girls home.
"He Tianran should be... quite drinkable..." Thinking back on this, Wen Liang said with some doubts.
"That's right, Director He is quite good at drinking. Hey, he has a lot of entertainment in this industry, and he has such a temperament that he speaks the truth after drinking. How can we not practice a little drinking? Last time, a group of us almost drank It only took him two meters to drink him in place. It is true that he hurt the enemy by a thousand and himself by a thousand and two." Cai Jueming said seriously.
Wen Liang was puzzled, "Two meters? How much is two meters?"
Cai Jueming gestured with his hand to indicate a rough height, "A box containing beer is so high. There are twelve bottles of wine in it. If the boxes are stacked up, it will be two meters high!"
Wen Liang was shocked when he heard this, "Why did you let him drink so much?!"
"Oh, Director He is not allowed to drink alone, we are together!"
"That's too much..."
As Wen Liang spoke, she looked at the main table where there was a steady stream of staff coming to toast He Tianran. She was still saying worried words, but she immediately stopped talking, and then rolled her eyes as if thinking about it, and tentatively asked:
"Can you... let me see Director He's state today?"
As soon as these words were spoken, several people were stunned. Hu Yue scratched his face, turned to look at the battle situation on He Tianran's side, and said with some conscience:
"Isn't this... bad? Director He, the six major sects are besieging Guangmingding today. It would be a bit unscrupulous for us brothers to join in the fun, right?"
When Wen Liang heard this, he squinted his eyes and said, "This is not the six major sects besieging Guangmingding. This is clearly the heroes of Wuba Gang hosting a banquet for Linghu Chong. How festive! Well...or should I say, you can't do it, scholar?" "
"No? What can I do if I have a drink! I'm just bored~! Sister Liang, just watch!"
Hu Yue, who had just had a drink with Yu Hui, was gradually getting drunk. When he heard the word "no", without thinking, he stood up with the bottle and walked in the direction of He Tianran.
Everyone was amused by his appearance of being unable to withstand stimulation, and Wen Liang looked at Cai Jueming.
"Master Cai, you..."
Before the girl could finish her words, Cai Jueming immediately interrupted her speech with a wave of his hand and said solemnly:
"Don't talk about it, sister. If it weren't for your relationship, I wouldn't have met Director He, and then I had this opportunity. Brother, I understand you. Isn't it just that you don't want to play Huang Rong today? You want to be a leader. Yingying, okay! Brother, I will risk my life today to help you get Director He to the right place! Take a look!"
"Reliable!"
Warm and cool smile.
After saying that, Cai Jueming acted like a hero who sacrificed his life generously, and walked towards He Tianran with a wine glass in hand.
"Director Yu?"
Following Wen Liang's soft call, Yu Hui, who was sitting in his original position, suddenly felt on pins and needles.
"Uh...Teacher Wen Liang, I suddenly feel that I shouldn't sit down now. I should go and pay respect to Tian Tian."
"Okay, let's go together."
The two took the wine glasses and stood up.
He Tianran was just sending away a group of people who were toasting. Unexpectedly, Hu Yue walked past in a hurry, with a small army behind him. He almost cursed, these guys are really ignorant. Is this a toast? This is obviously because he saw the right opportunity and wanted to feed himself!
Originally, the liquor he drank today made He Tianran feel a little confused, and after passing by Hu Yue, Cai Jueming, and Yu Hui, he felt a little overwhelmed. Just when he was about to take a rest, he saw Wen Tianran. Liang Nonizi appeared in front of him with a sly look on his face, holding a wine glass...
"Director He, Happy New Year. I have worked really hard for you these past few months. Thank you for your trust and help in me. In the days to come, I will actively cooperate with you to maintain high demands and strict standards on me. I I won’t let you down, I respect you~!”
"...Teacher Wen Liang, you are really... Hier... joking... Happy New Year!"
Seeing Wen Liang take the initiative to pour wine into the empty glass he was holding, with false gratitude and contrived kindness on his face, He Tianran burped, then clenched his back molars...
"Oh, the atmosphere in our crew is so good!"
"That's right. Although director Xiao He is young, he is professional in his work and has a rigorous attitude. Many people in the crew admire him!"
"Yes, Mr. He is really amazing to have such a good son."
The bosses at the main table saw that He Tianran was very popular among the crew, and they were full of compliments. With He Tianran being held up like this, it was even harder to refuse the warm toast, so they could only force their smiles, and it was hard to say. Not out.
And just as he secretly took a breath and was about to drink the wine in the glass again, Gu Qiaoman, who was also at the main table, suddenly raised the wine glass in front of him and said:
"Wen Liang, Director He drank a little too much just now. I'll help him drink this glass of wine. Everyone is happy. It's all that matters. Happy New Year."
"Um--"
Suddenly such a stumbling block appeared, which was his former close friend. Wen Liang drew out a signature long sound from his nose, tilted his head slightly to one side, and the smile on his face became thicker.
"Happy New Year."
She responded with her mouth, but the two women held the wine glasses in the air without any intention of raising them.
Thank you to the brother of "Every Day Youyu" for joining the alliance, I am very grateful! ! Recently, the number of alliance bosses has increased a lot. Sao Sao is really thinking about releasing more updates to repay everyone for their support, but she doesn’t want the plot to be too boring, so she will try to find a balance between updates and work. The weather should stabilize and we won’t have to wait for updates~
