The world of young people is very clear-cut, but often the deeper they get involved in the world and the more things involved, the clearer it becomes that the choices in this world are not only black and white, but perhaps gray is the normal state of life.
After He Tianran experienced the initial shock over the fact that his parents had not divorced, he had completely digested his excess emotions the next day.
It's ridiculous to say that when he was a child, he felt that his parents were quarreling and wanted to divorce, and he felt that the sky was falling; but now, when he knows that his parents are still legally married, this has not made any waves in his outlook on life. .
Yes, it doesn't matter if the parents are divorced or not. Under a contract, what is guaranteed is the property of both parties, the equity, the interests and rights of the company, not his happiness as a human son.
Today, He Tianran can actually understand some of He Panshan's actions. This may be why the father waited until his son was completely sensible before telling him the truth. If he had been 17 or 18 years old, He Tianran, who knew the news, would not be so calm.
…
…
The next day, in order to confirm whether the show "Rules of Love" could take over the schedule of "In the Wild", He Tianran, who arrived at the Shanhai Building, immediately convened a meeting with all members of the project team.
Some of these people are the directors and directors of previous future productions, some are the newly recruited key personnel this time, and there are also employees from the original Surfline video department. However, after joining a project team, they are all under the jurisdiction of He Tianran. Now he has the title is the show producer.
He Tianran studied film directing. For the filming of this variety show, he was only responsible for the subject matter and quality control. He would not do it himself like he did in previous filming, so the role he played this time seemed to be the same as the last time he filmed it. The position of "The Field of Heart" has been reversed. In the past, it was others who pushed his progress, and he grinned with hatred; now it is he who pushes others, and others naturally gnash their teeth at him.
Sure enough, as soon as the mention of the file was mentioned, the entire project team was very angry.
"Director He, I will count it as one month after the broadcast of "Inside the Wild". In thirty days, we have to prepare the venue and group performances, and coordinate the schedules of the guests. Okay, even if we have overcome these problems, but you The fastest it takes for a variety show to be submitted for review is ten days and a half, and the slowest it takes fifty days. How could we be in such a hurry?"
The person speaking is a fashionable woman in her thirties or forties. She has recently hired a variety show director from a certain Qiyi. Her name is Xiang Kui. She graduated from the theater. Some of the career and life variety shows she filmed before have become popular. For a period of time, there was a lot of heated discussion. It cost a lot of money to recruit her this time. In terms of position, she is now the second-in-command of the video department of Surfing Line, responsible for Surfing Line's variety shows. The matter involved is considered to be a person of Shanhai, not an employee of Future Production.
However, no matter which company they belong to, to put it bluntly, they all work for the He family. Although He Tianran, the prince, does not currently have a real job in Shanhai, he can be said to have real power in film and television. of.
"Sister Xiang, as long as you are filming a program, there will be difficulties at any time. It is just sooner or later, whether it is minor or severe. Don't worry about the review. I will look for channels here to see if it can be shortened. , you can relax about this, I will solve it.
However, our deadline for this month must be fixed here. Although I have never filmed a variety show, but with all the preliminary planning texts prepared, it will take one month to shoot a theme that can be divided into two episodes. This should not be What an impossible task~
If you have any problems, don't rush to reject them. Tell us the difficulties and let's discuss it. As a producer, I'm definitely not here just for fun. I can't control so much of your shooting, but I will take care of all the problems outside of shooting. We will do our best to help you solve the problem within our capabilities.
Sister Xiang, if you don't believe me, ask the other directors here how I promised you something before. Now I just have to tattoo the word "character" on my eyes, okay. "
Nowadays, He Tianran is well-known in the industry, both as a director and boss, for his works and as a person. Especially some young people in future productions are very impressed by this boss who is not much older than them, or even younger. It is both respect and submission.
And the most important thing is that He Tianran not only speaks well, but also looks very confusing. After his hair turned black, he suddenly lost the seriousness and formality he used to have. People around him said that he looked at least seven years younger. Eight years old, even though he is really young, he feels like he has transformed from an unruly wild wolf into a cute golden retriever.
In the past, when his hair was white, no one would doubt him if he said he was a director sitting behind the monitor and scolding Fang Qiu. Now, when he says he is in the film and television industry, others will only think of him as an actor with a bit of a literary flair. Still the idol type.
So, if a younger brother manages to become his boss, and even talks to you in a nice manner during meetings, and talks with you, women of Xiang Kui's age simply can't stand this. , her originally cold face softened a lot, and some editors and directors around her were talking to He Tianran, so she had no choice but to soften and said:
"If it takes a month, the filming will not be delayed for too long. Since the review can be put aside for now, now it is time to communicate with the schedule of several guests. Our proposed invitation list this time is eight people and four pairs, and we are only talking about it at the moment. We have four people, now the schedule has to be moved forward, and we have to check the schedule with each other again, which is the most troublesome part."
He Tianran nodded and agreed:
"No problem, let's make two preparations. First, invite according to the list we intend to invite this time, and then draw up an alternative. The cost can be increased appropriately. This will make it easier to talk. The main thing is to achieve results.
Some newcomers in my agency can come, but they may be less famous now. You can weigh this yourself. I won’t use this back door. By the way, next we can make a concept promotional video first. , warm up in advance, Sister Xiang will control the content. "
After what he said, no one had any objections. As a person in the industry, He Tianran didn't care too much about the content or filming, because he knew very well that when people who were also directors were crowded together, they would either have a burst of inspiration or quarrel. Not only that, he is now a producer, so he can delegate power where necessary.
Everyone discussed for a while, and when the meeting was about to end, He Tianran suddenly thought of something and asked:
"By the way... Regarding the candidate, has Wen Liang decided?"
Xiang Kui was stunned and replied:
"Mr. Bai mentioned this to me once when she came to the meeting. She said she would ask Wen Liang what she wanted when she had time, but she hasn't given me a reply yet. I guess something delayed her. Why, she agreed. ?"
He Tianran said subconsciously:
"I agreed..."
Xiang Kui beamed:
"That's good. "In the Wild" is in the spotlight right now. I like Wen Liang very much. Director He, you are quite right in choosing the person. This girl has found a good role, and her image and temperament are quite rare in the industry. Yes, I don’t know what it will be like to film our show, so now we have five confirmed guests!”
After receiving the news that Wen Liang had joined the show, Xiang Kui followed the others and left the conference room with great satisfaction. He Tianran stayed there with some doubts, thinking that her mother had really forgotten to tell Xiang Kui. After all, she His work place is over Li Lan's side.
Walking out of the conference room, He Tianran still felt a little uneasy. He found Yao Qingtao who was catching up on dramas at his workstation.
"Sister Taozi..."
"Yeah~!"
Originally, Yao Qingtao was concentrating on chasing the "Heartland" that was just updated yesterday, and the protagonist team was investigating the dead bodies in the morgue. Unexpectedly, such a sentence came from beside her, and He Tianran appeared behind her without anyone noticing, and she was so frightened. She got excited and shouted...
"What are you doing, Director He? You appeared behind me without saying a word!"
The other party's panicked speech made He Tianran's face darken. He reached out and took off the other party's headphones and said:
"Could it be that you were too focused on fishing and didn't notice me?"
Yao Qingtao was not ashamed, but confidently grabbed her headphones, "Isn't it because I want to understand the audience's feedback? I am working, and watching dramas is part of my job, right?"
He Tianran said helplessly: "Okay, okay, work, work, sister Taozi, take some time after work, contact Wen Liang for me, ask her when she is free recently, and come to the company to see me."
Yao Qingtao was stunned for a moment, and then said in confusion: "She has just finished her promotional activities in the past two days and is resting at home. Send her a message yourself. Don't you have her contact information? Why do you need to transfer someone from me? It's so troublesome. of……"
This leader is too familiar with the employees, which is not necessarily a good thing...
He Tianran thought: "Oh...I...have a girlfriend now. We should avoid suspicion for this kind of thing."
"But it's too pretentious for you to avoid suspicion, isn't it?" Yao Qingtao couldn't help but complain, but soon she became gossipy and joked: "What's the matter, you and Ai Qing finally have a relationship after so many years. right?"
"Then the text has been expected for a long time~"
He Tianran couldn't help but sneered, and Yao Qingtao couldn't help but roll her eyes at him:
"Look at you like that~!"
As friends who had known each other since college, Yao Qingtao naturally knew about He Tianran and Cao Aiqing, so he was not surprised by this.
She picked up her phone and sent a message to Wen Liang while she couldn't help but curse:
"I'm not talking about you, Director He. If you're in love, just fall in love. Now you're still trying to avoid suspicion. Although it's right to avoid suspicion, but you're too deliberate. It always feels like you're deliberately showing off your affection. This is annoying, you know! What’s going on, you know I liked you before, but now you’re deliberately stabbing me, right?!”
He Tianran also picked up his phone, clicked on the interface of the takeout software, and looked around:
"By the way, Sister Taozi, what would you like to drink for afternoon tea? Do you want some mousse dessert or something?"
Sure enough, this trick worked surprisingly well. After Yao Qingtao finished sending the message, she looked at him steadily and said affirmatively:
"Sensible! Sister Dekui has been killing fish at RT-Mart for six years, and her heart has already become as cold as the knife used to kill fish. If you want to show off, just show off. Anyway, you have to eat one for work and love!"
After that, she snatched the man's cell phone and pressed it. He Tianran couldn't help laughing.
And just when she was choosing dessert, the phone she put down vibrated twice quickly. She picked it up and shook it. He Tianran didn't even see the content clearly, so Yao Qingtao said casually:
"A Liang said she was not free. She finally took two days off and didn't want to discuss work."
He Tianran scratched his head:
"Then...you let her rest for the past two days and come to the company to find me?"
Yao Qingtao took her eyes away from the dessert menu and raised her head:
"Director He, don't you know the schedules of your artists at all now? Wen Liang has been participating in the promotional activities of "Inside the Wild" a while ago. He flies around every day for interviews and activities across the country. These two After the day off, she will fly non-stop to Sichuan and Chongqing to continue working. If you have anything that can be explained in a few words, just confirm it with her directly on the phone."
He Tianran said nothing after hearing this. After the other party finished their afternoon tea, he took his mobile phone and left angrily.
Returning to his work station, he thought over and over again, opened WeChat on the computer, clicked on the chat interface called "The Moon is Not Closed", and quickly entered a sentence:
"I've been working hard lately (Goutou). When are you free? Let's talk about the company's new variety show~"
But when he put his finger on the Enter key, he stopped again, and finally deleted everything and typed again:
"A former high school classmate is organizing a class reunion recently and asked me to contact you. Are you interested?"
It's just that this sentence is the same. After typing it but not sending it, He Tianran deleted it again and decided to ask if there was anything else. If it was one sentence after another, Wen Liang might not reply.
"Wen Liang, there are two things. Please take the time to reply:
1) Regarding the job of a love variety show in the company, are you sure you want to participate?
2) There is a high school class reunion recently. Are you interested? "
There should be nothing wrong with this rational and concise communication method, right?
He Tianran confirmed again and finally clicked send.
Unlike the immediate reply Yao Qingtao received, the man waited for a quarter of an hour before receiving the message.
The Moon is Not Closing: "What do you mean by 'I'm sure I'm going to participate, are you interested?' You are the boss, so I will do whatever work you ask me to do. Can I still refuse? You are pretending to discuss it with me. Really?" Sorry."
He Tianran was speechless looking at this reply. Even though the sentence was just words, Wen Liang's impatient look and tone also appeared in his mind.
Is this girl taking some medicine today? In the past, she could still clearly distinguish between love and work. Discussing these matters with her was also a way of showing respect at work. Now, being criticized by He Tianran for no apparent reason makes her a little annoyed. , he suppressed the irritability growing in his heart and replied rationally:
"Okay then, you can make your own decisions about the reunion. It's your private matter, so I won't get involved. Regarding the variety show, since you had an intention yesterday, let Li Lan and the director of the program team communicate with you. , I won’t interfere much.”
After sending the message, He Tianran paid no attention to the other party's attitude, and there was a high probability that this message would be lost forever. Today he had to have a meeting with overseas distribution agents. He had been busy with a lot of things recently and really had no time to go. Explore the warm mood.
Time passed like this, and the three-hour meeting lasted until the afternoon. It was not until the end that he took the time to look at the time on his phone. Unexpectedly, he also received a reply from Wen Liang during this period, and they were all in a row. There were several items, which made him a little surprised, so he read them one by one——
The Moon Never Closes: "What do you mean by non-interference and non-interference? That sounds so nice!"
The Moon Never Closes: "If you really want to draw a clear line with me, we can just keep the status quo. Why do you want me to participate in some love variety show?"
Half an hour later.
The moon never closes: "If you want to talk to me, just ignore me. If you don't want to, ignore me. If you want to read my messages, you can read them. If you don't want to read them, don't read them. He Tianran, if you want me to give up on you, you can There are many ways, but please don’t use this bullying method to disgust me or force me!”
Ten minutes ago.
The moon never closes: "He Tianran, you don't have to love me, but please don't abuse me..."
…
…
He Tianran frowned after reading these words into his eyes. Through the emotions and information exposed between the lines, he quickly discovered the problem. He raised his head, exhaled, then opened the address book and dialed the number. A person's phone number.
"Hello."
"mom."
"What's up?"
He Tianran said calmly:
"How did you tell Wen Liang to come to our variety show yesterday?"
The other end of the call was equally cold, "What's wrong?"
He Tianran did not answer, but emphasized his tone and repeated each word, "How did you tell her?"
Bai Wenyu didn't seem to notice the question in his son's tone, and replied calmly:
"What should I say? I just said you asked her to go, and she agreed without saying anything else."
"beep--"
He Tianran immediately hung up the phone.
Just because he was afraid that if this call continued for another second, he would not be able to help but curse.
What is surprising is that just a few seconds after hanging up the phone, Bai Wenyu called back again. Regardless of the ringing mobile phone, He Tianran was angry. He pressed answer and was about to speak loudly to confront him, but he didn't know those words. As soon as it reached my throat, I stopped everything because the person on the other end of the phone was not Bai Wenyu...
"Naturally, you hung up the phone too quickly just now. I want to ask you if you want to have dinner at home tonight. If you don't come back, I will invite Aunt Bai to my house for dinner."
On the phone, Cao Aiqing's gentle voice sounded like water. (End of chapter)
