My girlfriend is from the future!

Chapter 389 Pearl Lane Bald Eagle and Fanbei Tongjin's Rouge Horse

The studio that Yu Hui mentioned is actually a small road beside the Bund in Hong Kong City, named - Fanbei Tongjin.

This name may seem strange to friends from other places, but in fact, in the Cantonese area, "Jin" means wharf. Many small roads by the river are named "Tongjin", and "Fan" means Refers to foreign countries, foreign countries, the word "bei" means "back".

Therefore, the translation of the four words "Fanbei Tongjin" means "the small road leading to the seaside pier behind the foreigner's residence".

The reason why it became the location for this shooting is because there are many small Western-style buildings in the early days of Hong Kong City, bright Manchurian windows, round arches, red brick walls or bluestone walls, and those old houses are surrounded by flowers and trees. Mottled and silent, many have walls, gardens, and single-door courtyards. Peeping in, the courtyard is really deep.

Moreover, there are also many coffee shops downstairs, which can be regarded as a rare quiet corner on the Bund. Many white-collar elites and literary youths who work around here like to take a short break here. It is both romantic and petty bourgeoisie. A stylish street, very suitable for film and television shooting.

When He Tianran and the others arrived at the set, they had already seen quite a few staff members from the art group and props group preparing to set the scene. As soon as they saw him and Yu Hui arriving, the bosses of each group stepped forward to say hello:
"Director He, Director Yu~"

"Director He, Director Yu..."

The boss of the props group was holding a flower bed in one hand, and took out a pack of Hei Liqun from his pocket with the other hand, shook it twice, and handed him a cigarette familiarly, Yu Hui lit it and puffed out a puff of smoke, and was about to light it for He Tianran When he got up, he shook his hand holding the cigarette, raised his eyes to look around, and signaled that he was not in a hurry.

He explained to the bosses of the two groups: "Today is Director Yu's business, you just listen to him, and I will go with the client, everyone has worked hard, Director Yu will buy you coffee later, like it What to order first, let him do the work of paying for it.”

"Alright~ Thank you, Director Yu!"

"Don't worry, bro."

Patting Yu Hui on the back as an encouragement, He Tianran, who was fine on the set, leisurely walked into a coffee shop where the interior scenes would be filmed later.

At the counter, there was a woman in casual clothes, round-frame glasses, and a bang sticker on her forehead.

At this moment, her fingers were flying like flying on the keyboard of the notebook, He Tianran sat over without making a sound, and yelled obsequiously:
"Miss Peach..."

"roll."

"Ok~"

The woman yelled angrily, and He Tianran responded with a hippie smile, but nothing moved. In the end, it was the woman who turned off the notebook with a "snap" and turned her head.

This person was none other than Yao Qingtao, the senior He Ranran met at the University of Hong Kong library.

"What's the matter? Did you take gunpowder today?"

Seeing her expression, He Tian asked kindly.

Yao Qingtao did not answer immediately, but stared coldly at the cigarette held between He Ranran's fingers, and said angrily:
"When I was borrowing the scene, the shop owner said that smoking is not allowed in the shop."

"Tsk, look at you, you didn't think about smoking."

With a scowling face, He Tianran threw the cigarette in his hand onto the counter table.

Yao Qingtao calmed down and started to talk about business:
"The entertainer arrived 10 minutes before you, and is now putting on makeup in the nanny's car, but they received a message at three o'clock in the morning, saying that they want to use their own photographer and replace Teacher Chen."

He Tianran was also taken aback when he heard the news. The teacher she was talking about was the photographer who was in charge of this shoot. He had cooperated with He Tianran many times before, and both of them had a tacit understanding.

"Hey, I like the punctual artists very much, but I don't like the ones who want to steal my shot. This is big enough, and I have to appoint a photographer. Why didn't I mention it in the previous communication?"

"I mentioned it in the first communication a long time ago, but the photographer at that time didn't have time and rejected it. Huh, it's good if it's a big name. The first sister of their company, Bai Lingye, is not so picky." Yao Qingtao With disdain in his mouth.

He Tianran didn't answer the question, but asked seriously: "Who is it?"

Yao Qingtao turned on the computer again, and an electronic resume and portfolio were displayed on the screen. He Tianran took a closer look and found that it was a guy named Cai Jueming.

By the way, I forgot to mention that He Tianran is currently a third-year student in the Directing Department of the Film Academy. Yu Hui, who is busy directing on the set outside, is in the same class as him. class, so now the two are at the same level.

"Look at the resume, this buddy has been working in the crew for the past few years, is there any TVC commercial work?" He Tianran asked.

"Yes, it's still downloading, and I just received it." Yao Qingtao pinched the middle of the person, hesitantly: "Would you like to... communicate with Yu Hui, and communicate with Teacher Chen."

"Of course I have to, but today I'm just here to watch the scene. My main job is to chat with clients, and I'm not a director. You don't need to rely on me."

"You really don't care?" Yao Qingtao raised an eyebrow.

"How can it be."

Having said that, He Tianran picked up the cigarette again, and involuntarily began to pull the shredded tobacco out of the cigarette holder bit by bit with both hands and put it on the table. While thinking, he said the solution:

"How much does this photographer charge per day?"

"Ten thousand and four a day."

"The equipment also has a follower. What about the assistants? Mr. Chen is a team led by himself. If you replace him, you have to follow him. When this buddy comes, he is a commander-in-chief, and the machine is useless."

"It's all included in the cost."

He Tianran was taken aback for a moment, thinking that it was quite cheap after such a calculation, but he definitely couldn't say it out loud.

"The artist has to pay for this fee. There is no need to discuss such temporary conditions. It is impossible for us to pay this fee. You don't need to change it with Mr. Chen. The big deal is that the two-camera shooting will be faster. The artist's agent will wait. When it comes, you just find a chance, just go up and fight with her alone, they don't care about it.

I'll go to Yu Hui and tell him later that I'm worried that multiple camera positions will disrupt his rhythm, but the problem shouldn't be a big deal. By the way, is it because the artist is afraid of being ugly in the shoot that he uses his own people? "

He Tianran asked unhurriedly.

Yao Qingtao thought for a while, and guessed: "It's not like, maybe it's...favor."

"Ah, then I understand... this is... an underground lover?"

He Tianran's spirit of gossip suddenly ignited, and even though there was no one around the two of them, he lowered his voice like stealing the bell.

"Impossible, this artist doesn't even shoot kissing scenes, it would be so blatant, probably relatives, friends or something." Yao Qingtao also lowered her voice and lowered her head.

"Really? Yes, yes, yes, yes, I remember that Lingye also doesn't make kissing scenes, and their company has this in the contract."

He Tianran thought of it.

Yao Qingtao winked, "Director He, did you still keep in touch with Lingye after filming last year?"

He Tianran suddenly straightened his back, and said righteously: "Comrade Yao Qingtao, don't knock on the CP randomly, everyone else knocks on male and female leading actors, you knock on me as a director and leading actress, what kind of evil CP is this..."

"Oh, who told us that Director He is highly topical~! Besides, CP is just what we, the people who eat melons, just need."

Yao Qingtao joked.

Here, we have to insert some digressions.

"Future Production" film and television company was established in the year He Tianran was admitted as a graduate student in the directing department. His father He Panshan invested 300 million to establish a film and television company. Open up, so now the main business is still some advertisements, planning and shooting of movies and TV series.

So it is more appropriate to say that it is a company, rather than He Tianran's personal director's studio.

However, last year, He Ranran filmed a fantasy and suspense web drama based on the IP of a female-frequency web novel called "A Thousand Knots of the Heart". The main investment was naturally his father's Shanhai Group. The tepid second-tier actress Bai Lingye, and the leading actor is not even a celebrity.

When the show was released at the time, the biggest publicity point was not the IP, the starring role, etc., but He Tianran, the prince of the Shanhai Group...

This kind of online drama, which represents the rich second generation of capital, will not cause a topic. At first, netizens speculated that it was just for fun, saying that this is the prince's choice of concubine. It is nothing more than a blog The farce of the beauty's smile, no matter what, this topic has indeed attracted the attention of many passers-by and water friends besides book fans.

It's just that in the end, I didn't expect, I didn't expect, the quality of "Heart Thousand Knots" was surprisingly high after it was broadcast, the suspense and reversal continued, and the plot climaxes repeatedly, the most commendable thing is He Tianran, a rich second generation, as a As a director, he has extremely solid basic skills and extremely rich imagination and aesthetics.

Especially aesthetic.

Because "A Thousand Knots" itself has a fantasy color, so in order to restore the description of the text in the novel, the characters, light and shadow, and scenery under his lens all have a dreamlike hazy beauty, whether it is the actor's Makeup, camera scheduling, lighting, art setting, as well as post-stage color correction and special effects, all achieve a high degree of visual unity.

If it's just that the crew has money but no ideas, then there is no way to achieve this level.

"A Thousand Knots of the Heart" is a good drama that no matter whether it is a book fan or a passer-by, it will be satisfied. The method, the original work itself is a relatively early work by the author, and it is lacking in all aspects. It is very difficult to adapt it into a script. It is already a [-]-point success if it can be made like this.

"Heart Thousand Knots", which was labeled as a small sticky drama, has been getting more and more praises after it was broadcast, and it was a complete hit. It also triggered a wave of craze last summer, and Bai Lingye, who starred in this drama, even rose a level through this drama. The coffee position has become the hottest little actress at the moment.

As for He Tianran, he also got rid of the initial impression of "playing with the rich second generation" and became a talented and rich new director, but what can he say, because Shanhai Group's well-known reputation and As the top rich second generation, he really brought a lot of exposure and topicality to the show from the beginning.

Therefore, the spotlight in the entertainment field, whether in front of the stage or behind the scenes, will always be on the person representing the capital.

"Just needing to return to just needing, your CP is bound to be shattered. After filming with Bai Lingye, I basically seldom contacted each other."

He Ranran gathered the shredded tobacco that had been dismantled on the table in the palm of his hand, and threw it into the trash can.

Speaking of which, this scandal is not groundless. Bai Lingye was interviewed before, and the reporter asked if He Tianran had any interesting things with the actors when he was directing on the set. This beauty from the Western Regions not only praised her professionalism, but also Said a thought-provoking sentence——

"He treats the actors under his lens as seriously as he treats his lover and brother."

This is the full text of this sentence. Originally, it was just to praise He Tianran for his seriousness and dedication to work, but then I don't know how to pass it on, so it became——

"He treats the actresses he photographs as if he were a lover."

……

The drama of wits and beautiful ladies has lasted through the ages, and it has been timeless. There are a lot of comments on the Internet, and people only believe what they like to hear. It must be considered that He Tianran is usually low-key enough. Although this matter became a hot topic for a while, after the end of the series, The heat will soon be gone.

"BE aesthetics will always be a scar in the hearts of us 'knock' scholars~"

After Yao Qingtao finished speaking jokingly, her eyes fixed, and she suddenly looked at He Tianran for a few seconds.

"what happened?"

the man asked suspiciously.

Yao Qingtao sighed: "Oh, I said, Young Master He, every time I see you, I always want to pull out all the white hair on your head. I'm only one year older than you. Standing with your image, It made me a lot older, too."

"Are you sure it's 'pulling' instead of 'squeezing'? If you want to pluck out all my white hair, then I'll be bald."

He Tianran came to his senses and smiled.

"Why don't you dye it, what a handsome young man, his hair turns white at a young age."

He Tianran was not ashamed, but rather proud, "You don't understand, this is a sign, okay?"

He Tianran has had gray hair since he was in college, and now his hair is [-]% gray. After going to the hospital for an examination, there is no problem with his body. In the end, it can only be attributed to the fact that everyone is different.

However, maturity also has its benefits. Contrary to the fact that stars and idols mostly eat youthful food, the job of director is that the older you get, the more popular you become. If you are too young, you can't control the old fritters on the set, and most importantly, the investors Wouldn't you bet a lot of money on a young boy who just entered the society, and let a young man take his own belongings to lead the army to fight? What is the difference between this and nothing?
Therefore, the image of this white hair is a layer of camouflage He Tianran can use to convince the public when he is the director.

Being able to shoot a blockbuster drama series at the age of 25 is already a very good proof of one's own strength, even though others have worked hard and fought hundreds of tricks in the lake to get on However, he was crossed by his father in a boat.

But if the result is good, then everything is good.

Yao Qingtao was the same as him, "Yes, yes, the bald eagle in Zhuguang Lane, tsk~ strange look."

He Tianran's expression froze slightly when he heard this, and he who was very active just now just smiled and didn't speak any more.

The Zhuguang Lane mentioned by Yao Qingtao is actually similar to Gaobeidian in Beijing and Chungmuro ​​in South Korea. In short, it is a place where some film and television companies gather.

In the past 20 years, Hong Kong City’s economy has grown by leaps and bounds, and the film and television industry has also flourished. If the entertainment industry is now divided into regions, in addition to the traditional Beijing and Shanghai circles, there is now a new film industry. It's called - Hong Kong circle.

The term "Hong Kong Circle" has a long history. It used to mean Hong Kong, not Hong Kong City, but the prosperous and prosperous Hong Kong next door. However, with the gradual decline of Hong Kong movies, many filmmakers chose to go north to the inland to try out. water, but their first choice at that time was not the port city, because the port city at that time could not give the industry too much survival soil, and most of the high-quality resources were concentrated in the capital and Shanghai. At that time, there was no first choice. Three choices.

It’s just that it’s different now. As a large number of Hong Kong filmmakers have returned from the inland land, they have returned one after another. A utopia for frustrated filmmakers.

Of course, it has been a long time since Hong Kong filmmakers went north, and their return is just a seed planted for the rapid development of Hong Kong's film and television industry in the future.

Now the seed is finally ready to bloom and bear fruit.

The older generation of filmmakers chose to settle in Hong Kong City, while the new generation of young people also chose to develop in this city at their doorstep. In the Zhuguang Lane area of ​​Jiangnan District, due to the expansion of the old district, many houses were demolished and built, and the rent was low. High, the transportation is very convenient, coupled with the support of policies and regional planning, it has attracted many film and television production companies and studios to land.

Although this Hong Kong circle is no longer that Hong Kong circle, the inherited style has been poured into this generation of local filmmakers, so that in recent years, it has finally established itself outside of Beijing and Shanghai.

He Tianran's "Future Production" film and television studio is located in Zhuguang Lane. The title of "Zhuguang Lane Bald Eagle" was taken by his colleagues after he finished filming "A Thousand Knots". In fact, he still has many such nicknames. , but this one is called the most.

As for why it is called Bald Eagle, apart from his white hair, there is another point...

"Director Yu, how many photographers are you taking today? How will you shoot later?!"

At this moment, an angry question suddenly came from the set, the voice was quite loud, and it could be heard clearly in the coffee shop.

Yao Qingtao was about to get up to check the situation, but He Tianran immediately lowered her palm, signaling her not to move.

"You sit here and wait for the clients and the artist team to come and connect, and I'll take care of the outside affairs."

He Tianran left a word and walked out of the coffee shop.

The sun was just right outside, he squinted his eyes and looked up at the dazzling mottled spots scattered between the leaves, and then looked down at the watch on his wrist.

The current time is 10:[-], which is four or ten minutes away from the originally scheduled shooting time.

Hearing the dispute that gradually broke out not far away, he muttered:
"Oops, another day of world peace."

Then, he walked slowly towards the center of the contradiction.
