Chapter 397
The next day, at 09:30 in the morning.

He Tianran had breakfast and drove to the company on time.

Zhuguang Lane is located in the Jiangnan District of Hong Kong City. To the west is Queen Street, which is rich in nightlife, and Nathan New Road, where a lot of high-end fashion brands gather. Three kilometers to the north, cross the Demo River Bridge, and you can reach the busiest street in Hong Kong City. In the central business district of Jiangbei CBD, He Panshan's Shanhai Group is located there.

By comparison, it seems that the surrounding bustling neighborhoods can easily cover up the brilliance of Zhuguang Lane. In fact, it is not. Supporting the local film industry is another major factor for the rapid rise of the "Hong Kong circle" in recent years.

Today, Zhuguang Lane has become a synonym for the southern film and television industry, a business card of Hong Kong City, where not only densely packed theaters, community theaters, live-action studios, and film and television production institutions are gathered here, even the famous Hong Kong City Grand Theater is located it's here.

Hong Kong City is not a city with an ancient history, so after the economy takes off, it will give great support to some emerging cultural industries.

When a city forms a cultural atmosphere, it will have a foundation over time, which is also one of the important means to promote sustainable economic development.

To put it bluntly in terms of the tourism industry, more than half of the tourists who come to Hong Kong City for sightseeing will choose to visit Zhuguang Lane Movie Street. It’s a good choice to see the crew being filmed and feel the atmosphere. After shopping, you can go shopping or go to the Bund to see the night view and experience the bustling nightlife on Queen Street. The transportation is very convenient.

This is a modern life that cannot be experienced in film and television cities like Hengdian or Xiangshan.

Driving the car into a park located on the main street of Jewelry Lane, through the car window, He Tianran could see a line of 60 to 15 people in the company next door, all handsome men and women. Seven or eight staff members walked into the building carrying lights and photographic equipment, yelling at everyone not to mess up, and to wait another [-] minutes before entering the venue.

It looks like it's an interview.

This kind of scene can be seen almost every day in Zhuguang Lane.

He Tianran found a parking space under the shade of a tree and parked his car. He just took two steps when he bumped into two male actors who might be coming for an interview. Before he even entered the venue, he sneaked into the car. Smoking under a tree to pass the time.

The middle-aged one seemed to be in his thirties, and the younger one was probably in his twenties. He Tianran glanced at him hastily and stopped looking. The two of them were stunned when they saw He Tianran get out of the car. After a while, I guess it looked familiar, but I couldn't recognize who it was for a while.

After a while, the older man looked away, and he didn't throw away the cigarette in his mouth. Instead, he took out a small black box containing cigarette butts from his pocket, hurriedly stubbed out the cigarette and threw it in, and then He casually handed it to the young man beside him, signaling that the other party should also quickly put out the cigarette, and he was the first to walk towards He Tianran.

"That...you wait a moment, may I ask if you are He Tianran, Director He?"

The other party spoke with some uncertainty. He was originally so much older than He Tianran, but his tone was full of respect and humility.

"It's me, who are you?"

He Tianran stopped in his tracks. He asked the question like that, but he had already guessed seven or eight points of the other party's intention, which was why he just glanced at the two of them in a hurry, and didn't look at them.

"Ah, hello, hello, we were interviewing next door, and we happened to meet you. We all liked the movie "A Thousand Knots" that you filmed last year."

After receiving the confirmation reply, the middle-aged man wiped his hands on his brown-yellow coat in a hurry, and then stretched out enthusiastically. He Tianran did not refuse this, and also stretched out his hands.

The other party's hands were thick and rough, and they wrapped He Tianran's palms tightly for a while.

"My name is Sun Zhangwen, uh... come here~!"

He turned his head and called out to the young man who was still stunned to put out his cigarette. Hearing the shout, the young man walked up to him, nodded slightly, and said politely:
"Director He, hello."

Sun Zhangwen took the roll of A4 paper that had been stuck in his trouser pocket, and handed it over.

He Tianran didn't answer for the time being, and said lightly:
"Are you here for an interview with the crew? But there is no project on my side right now."

Sun Zhangwen didn't feel cramped, but smiled:
"Understood, Director He, why don't you save our actors' information first, don't waste time, it contains our contact information and filming experience."

He Tianran nodded and took it over. Now the actor's resume has been made into a PPT for convenience. There are all kinds of photos and videos. Those who have a paper version of their resume like this are really running. The bottom actor of the group.

"Are you the group leader or the actor's agent?"

"I... I'm his acting teacher, and now... I'm also working as an actor's agent. This kid is very smart, Director He. If you have a chance, you can give it a try."

"Well, there's a chance. It's true that I haven't played recently. I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

He Tianran took his resume and didn't go through it, so he didn't keep any more.

"Okay, okay, you're busy first."

"I wish you a successful interview."

After leaving such a sentence, He Tianran walked away.

Looking at his back, the young actor showed some disdain on his face, and complained to the middle-aged man:

"Ms. Sun, this kid is younger than me. You don't have to be so polite to him when he looks like he's carrying it. It's just that he has a good father and he's also a director. It's funny."

Sun Zhangwen straightened his face: "Xiao Li, you also know that other people are younger than you? You are already 27, and you are not popular yet, so that's it? If you don't change your arrogant personality, don't you think Same as me?"

……

……

Compared with other big companies in the park, He Tianran's own film and television company is "small and beautiful". It is a two-story red brick bungalow, and the roof is specially woven with steel bars to form "future production" four walls. A large character, the whole company counts the front desk and finance, there are only 23 people, it must be a bit too much for a film and television company, but it is just right for a studio.

But being small also has its advantages. There are not so many things to worry about. There is no such thing as "future production" in the early days of starting a business. Everyone has to endure hardships together. Everyone has something to do when they come up, and they are all young people, so they can chat. Well, the most important thing is that He Tianran, the boss, manages him loosely and pays well. What kind of bonuses, overtime pay has never been in arrears.

And the most important thing is what kind of director, post-editing and other positions that often require overtime work, He Tianran does not have a fixed working time, all of them have a flexible working system, for example, normally I go to work at ten o'clock and leave work at six o'clock, today I work overtime Two hours, I can come to work at twelve o'clock tomorrow, I stay up all night, and I don't have to come the next day, that's how free I am.

However, He Tianran is not a good person. If he keeps doing this, overtime pay will definitely be deducted, but this is much better than ordinary sweatshops.

Entering the company, looking up at the door, you can see the poster of "A Thousand Knots" and some standing portraits. Nowadays, "Future Film and Television" has only filmed such a drama, so it is a bit monotonous, but at least the work is well received There will only be more and more in the future.

Originally, the small building where fifty or sixty workstations could normally be arranged had only twenty or so people, and it seemed a bit empty, so everyone arranged some snack racks, flowers, beanbags, game consoles, billiard tables and so on indoors. For decoration and use.

He Tianran thought that if the company had more employees in the future, and his wife had also studied abroad and returned to China, the first thing he would do was to find her to help his company redecorate.

At this time in the past, when He Tian came to the company, everyone was at their desks, and it was normal for someone to chat occasionally, but as soon as he entered the door today, he saw a bunch of people gathered next to the late-stage computer, as if they were discussing something. Yao Qingtao, who was following along for the fun, coughed immediately when he saw him coming, and the group of people all turned around, and when they found him, they scattered like birds and beasts.

"What's the matter? What are you looking at, you just now."

He Tianran approached and asked.

"Look at your gossip."

Yao Qingtao casually gave an answer.

"My gossip? What do I gossip about?"

"Go upstairs and talk to your office."

"Ah good."

He Tianran didn't understand, so Yao Qingtao took the notebook, pushed him up the second floor behind him, came to the office, and closed the door.

"What, it's mysterious."

"Yesterday you played with Mr. Wen Liang outside, didn't anything happen?"

"Ah? No."

Yao Qingtao thought for a while, opened her notebook, and found a piece of entertainment news, which said——

"He also has today?! The rich second-generation director picks flowers but gets cold, Qiao Huang Rong meets Ouyang Ke, the enthusiasm is gone!"

When He Tianran saw this title, he almost didn't spit it out. The person who could come up with this title is really a fucking talent.

He looked down at the accompanying picture, it was the scene where he and Wen Liang sat opposite each other in the flower shop yesterday, and the moment recorded in the photo happened to be Wen Liang's impatience when he saw him repeatedly denying his memory.

This framing is very ingenious, none of the surrounding staff and cameras are captured, only him and Wen Liang, it looks like a private date...

As for the accompanying text of the picture, the meaning is roughly the same. It is nothing more than that I am interested in Wen Liang, but the other party shows a kind of disgust, and the descriptions in the words are mostly vulgar guidance in this regard, which is left to eat melons. The masses have a lot of room for imagination.

He Tianran looked at the release time of this frivolous news, it broke out in the early hours of this morning.

"I was thinking, if Mr. Wen Liang's expression had been warmer to me at that time, would it have been written that we were having an adulterous affair? These entertainment tabloids can really make up!"

Yao Qingtao stared: "Do you still think about this?"

He Tianran calmly said: "Then what else can I think about? Don't talk about these nonsense, how is this going now?"

"At [-] o'clock in the morning, the hot searches of a certain blog rushed to [-], and now it's been two hours, and it has dropped to the [-]s. The main reason is that there are too many netizens who eat melons. There is no real hammer. Just a picture can't explain it. What, I guess it will be gone today."

He Tianran went to his seat and sat down, "Ah...that's good, this can also be on the trending searches, a certain blog is really finished."

"It's the same on any platform. Today, some entertainment accounts on the short video also posted news about you. The main reason is that your identity is very topical. I think you took advantage of this when you promoted "Heart Thousand Knots". ? You can’t just focus on the good and not look at the bad, right? Your identity is a double-edged sword.”

He Tianran nodded. Although he understands the truth, this sister Yao can always remind himself repeatedly at certain moments. He leaned back on his sofa, looked at the ceiling, and murmured:
"But having said that, Teacher Wen Liang...has overdone it this time."

Yao Qingtao asked cautiously: "You mean... all of this is written and directed by Wen Liang?"

He Tianran said frankly: "There is no substantive evidence, but everything seems reasonable."

Temporarily changing photographers regardless of industry ethics, fabricating memories out of thin air, all the black material, Bai Lingye's speech last night, and the photos that broke out this morning, all these things seem to be connected together...

"Actually... I have the same guess as you in my heart. After all, since Wen Liang's debut and became famous, there have been too many such revelations. Although this time the rumors actually gave her a hand, the goals I pursue are all the same. ...that's...continuous exposure."

Yao Qingtao also said what was in her heart.

Although He Tianran didn't want to use his dark side to speculate on others, but this circle is like this.

In order to have a topic, for continuous exposure...

For, red...

To a large extent, having means is better than having no means.

"By the way, Wen Liang, does she have any dramas broadcasting recently? Or announcements or something."

He Tianran asked suddenly, Yao Qingtao recalled for a moment, and said:

"Her latest drama was broadcast in February at the beginning of the year, and it didn't cause any splashes. If it was announced...we set a shooting time with the artist two months ago, and they said...Wen Liang has time recently , according to our plan... Hey... I don't hear such words, she hasn't started work in the past few months, right?"

He Tianran was thoughtful:
"It's possible. I heard from a friend that the contract between Wen Liang and Li Lan is about to expire recently. Now she has so much black material, and she likes to do it. Except for the dramas cast by their company, which regular crew would dare Use her, it’s all for you to make some scandals, and one day there will be tax evasion, and there is a problem with life style, and the whole crew will have to be buried with her."

"Then let's forget about it? Or should I communicate with Sister Lan?"

"If you can't communicate, you can throw this pot away..."

He Tianran squeezed his eyebrows, and changed the subject:
"By the way, where is Yu Hui?"

"Didn't you ask him to take a vacation yesterday?"

"...Then has he contacted Teacher Aliu? Today's script meeting."

"I've confirmed it with Teacher Aliu. Others will come in the afternoon. I also told our screenwriter colleagues in the morning."

"Great! Sister Taozi, this company can't survive without you."

"You don't come here, and I didn't see you share shares with me at the end of the year."

After a few words with Yao Qingtao, He Tianran's mood improved a lot.

At this time, the mobile phone in He Ranran's pocket suddenly vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was an unknown number, but the order of the numbers was somewhat familiar.

He hesitated for a moment, put it to his ear after connecting.

The opposite is straight to the point.

"Hey, He Tianran, can I go to your company now and take a look at the footage shot yesterday?"

"……Who are you?"

"I'm cool! No, I just called you yesterday, and you didn't save my number..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, He Tianran snapped and hung up the phone.
