My girlfriend is from the future!

Looking at the picture of himself singing on his mobile phone, He Tianran didn't know whether it was due to drinking or because he was too ashamed. He suddenly blushed, turned off his mobile phone and said:
"Director Li, you are really... a talent for attracting investment."

Li Wang was stunned for a moment, and then he took the phone that was returned. At the same time, he raised three fingers of his other hand as if to swear, holding back his laughter, and said with an extremely sincere expression:

"Conscience of heaven and earth, Director He, when I said that I wanted to find you to play the role of Tianle, there was no interest at all. It was purely because I sincerely thought you were suitable. Of course...if you want to bring money to join the team... …I’m more than happy to accept it.”

He Tianran was amused: "Good guy, I didn't even talk to you about the remuneration, but you thought of asking me to provide funding, right? You kill two birds with one stone, Director Li, Director Li, I didn't expect you to have thick eyebrows." Big-eyed guy, now you’re playing this trick with me too.”

"No way...but it seems, Director He, you don't seem to be very willing...to expose yourself in front of the camera?"

Li Wang has the intuition that a director should have. He could tell from He Tianran's reaction after he hurriedly paused the video just now that he felt embarrassed about his performance.

He Tianran waved his hands and sighed:
"After all, there are mountains across the street, and first of all, it's limited by my status. If I want to come to the stage, I won't be representing myself to a large extent... Of course, this is not the main reason. The main thing is I still enjoy the work behind the scenes more than the glory in front of the stage. Especially after I entered this industry, I always had a kind of awe for the people and things in front of the camera and behind the camera. This kind of awe This makes me a little more timid about working on stage, because you and I should both know that from the moment the camera rolls up, it is the embodiment of the hard work of all the staff, so I am...especially afraid of screwing up. , after all, I’m not good at acting either.”

"Are you... afraid of causing trouble to others?"

"Haha, you can... you can understand it that way."

He Tianran's reasons really surprised Li Wang, because with He Tianran's prominent family background and industry achievements at this time, he should have been able to be calm in front of the camera, but aside from some personality factors, he He can also say the word "awe". From this, it can be seen that he indeed has a valuable sincerity towards this industry.

And the most important thing is that this attitude can be clearly felt by Li Wang. You must know that the joys and sorrows in this world are not the same. Everyone has their own similarities and differences, so not every pair of friends can be like them. After such an in-depth conversation and understanding, He Tianran truly believed that Li Wang’s invitation to him was based on the need to improve the work, rather than trying to get close to him; Li Wang also fully understood He Tianran’s feelings towards this job. That feeling of "awe" is by no means artificial.

If He Tianran was in front of Xue Yong at this moment, he would undoubtedly be in love with the cow. After hearing such words, the animal would probably only bulge its eyes and shout in a quaint manner:
"You're still shy after doing this? Are you kidding me?"

Of course, He Tianran wouldn't just say this to Xue Yong.

However, precisely because Li Wang understands, sometimes his speeches are more to the point and more vivid. But one thing he is better than Xue Yong is that before speaking, he has to ask:
"Director He, I suddenly thought of a very suitable word for your mentality, but don't be angry after saying it."

"You tell me first. Whether I'm angry or not depends on how you describe it."

"Well... just... for a moment just now, Director He, you made me feel... quite like a 'virgin'."

Quite like a virgin.

These words echoed in He Tianran's mind, and his whole person felt as if he was struck by lightning, and his expression became much heavier in an instant...

Li Wang hurriedly explained, stammering, "Complimentary words, complimentary words, they don't have any bad meaning! They just have... an innocent heart! Yes, an innocent heart! It's not that you are who you are... "

"You call a person with an innocent heart a virgin. You are also a genius at using adjectives. I don't know how you made the association."

He Tianran pinched his brows and ignored it. He stood up, walked to a corner of the office, and pulled out a whiteboard with names already written on it. Li Wang took a closer look and saw that some of the people on it were still there. We know each other, and almost all of them are peers.

He Tianran picked up the eraser and erased a name, then wrote Li Wang's name on it, thought for a moment, and drew a circle on his name.

Li Wang saw this and asked: "Director He, what are these names?"

"It's mainly directors and screenwriters who I think have potential in the future. I've personally talked to people who can write about them. They have some excellent scripts and some unformed projects on hand, and many of them have experienced people. Some of the referrals are made by myself, mostly for the purpose of attracting investment and discussing cooperation. To facilitate my memory, I like to write their names and projects here. I hope you don’t mind, it’s just my habit. After all, I already remembered you before you came."

He Tianran capped the marker pen and walked back to sit down.

"Ah... No, no, I should say that it is an honor for me to have my name on your whiteboard, Director He."

Once there is competition, Li Wang can't help but feel nervous when he looks at those names now. This feeling is very similar to when he stood at the announcement office and looked at the interview score list during the art exam, and was afraid of being on the list. I don’t have a name of my own, and even if I have a name, I’m afraid that my position won’t be high enough.

"Director Li, later tomorrow, I will organize several producers from the company and several directors and screenwriter friends in the industry to hold an internal film viewing party. Then you can show this film I also brought the script with me and we will review it internally. Don’t worry, everyone who participates in the screening will sign a special confidentiality agreement beforehand, and the content you create will never be leaked."

"……So fast?"

He Tianran smiled and said: "It's just a movie viewing party. Don't be too nervous. I will also speak for you then. But Director Li, you also know that although I am very optimistic about you and know your abilities, after all, film and television investment It is a commercial behavior, and I also need to consider some internal opinions of the company."

He doesn't like to draw cakes. Even though he appreciates Li Wang's talent and has enough financial resources to support his dream-seeking journey, he will never say "You are such a good person" before all discussions are completed. "I, He Tianran, voted for the movie," is similar to what he promised.

Li Wang came here today just to find an opportunity to congratulate Tianran on his quick words. Naturally, it was impossible for him to show cowardice at such a moment. Back then, he was the first in the art exam, but now he is just doing it again.

Li Wang nodded solemnly:
"I understand this, and I have been in contact with some bosses before. No matter whether I watched the movie or the script, there was never any confidentiality agreement. Director He, you are really thoughtful. Then, I will go home and prepare now, waiting for your notice. .”

"Okay, I look forward to your performance tomorrow."

"no problem!"

The two chatted for a few more words, and Li Wang politely left. He Tianran was left alone in the huge office.

The man immediately relaxed and slumped on the boss's chair. At present, his "Future Production" film and television company is deeply bound to the video business of the Surfing Line platform. Both companies are in a stage of rapid development, and everything is inseparable. He saw Li Wang's appearance today, which reminded He Tianran vaguely of the time when he first fell in love with movies.

No one will stay awake forever. People will just face different confusions in one stage after another. When he first entered the film and television industry, He Tian thought that he had finally found a career that he could work for his whole life. He thought that he could He produced some works that everyone thought were awesome, and for this he went against his father's wishes for the first time in his life.

Now, he has achieved success in the popular sense, and has proven his original choice in front of his father. He is doing the career he loves, but only a few years later, he feels a kind of difficulty in his heart. Words of exhaustion.

Perhaps as his understanding of an industry becomes deeper and his position becomes more important, he discovers that this industry may not be as beautiful as he originally thought.

He has indeed made two highly successful film and television dramas, but from the perspective of his own requirements, neither "The Wild Heart" nor the previous "Hearts Thousand Knots" are original "works". It can only be called a well-made "commodity".

Before becoming a director, he had never thought about making any IP adaptations, and he had no interest in the so-called idol drama market now. He did not want to understand why a certain character was deliberately added, deleted or modified for the sake of the fan market. For the scenes, in order to show the actors’ beautiful faces in certain close-ups, the logical sequence of editing was specially adjusted at the request of the management.

These are all things that he thought were very nonsense before he became a director, but now... he is already familiar with them.

The various human relationships and sophistication outside the camera, the reality of interest exchanges that make everything less pure and so, those social rules that are justifiable but never declared by others, make people even think about resistance bit by bit. , He Tianran just had to adapt and learn these things, which already made him physically and mentally exhausted.

When the filter of dreams is removed from the lens of reality, will those things that can make people burn every minute really be as charming as before?
He Tianran turned his chair and looked out the window at the brightly lit city. He had no words on his lips and no answers in his heart...

Whether in the industry or in society, this man seems to be considered a young and promising man. He just drank a little wine today and watched a movie that he was very interested in. His face did not cry or make trouble, and he had no emotions, only his brain. There are some sad and sentimental questions swirling around in it...

But these are not important, and will not even hinder his work tomorrow.

"…Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz out out out out"

Just when He Tianran was wandering, the mobile phone on his desk vibrated twice, which brought him back from his drifting thoughts. He picked up the mobile phone and saw that it was a voice message from his girlfriend. The content was very interesting. short--

"Have you got off work yet? We agreed to go shopping at IKEA together today~"

Cao Aiqing's sweet and charming voice came out from the mobile phone. It seemed to have a bit of healing magic, which made He Tianran's ignorant mood improve, and even the corners of his mouth became relaxed.

Inexplicably, He Tianran clicked on the voice bar and listened again, then smiled silently, and then replied in the same voice:

"It's okay, but I had some drinks with my friends today. What should I do if I can't drive?"

Soon, the other party sent a reply message, but this time it was in text——

"(≧□≦) No problem, I have a driver's license! I'll drive! I happened to come out from Zhuguang Lane. Are you at the company?"

Looking at the emojis sent by the other party, He Tianran laughed. In the past two months, apart from helping him renovate his studio, Cao Aiqing followed Bai Wenyu around. Last week, he took the driver's license test that he had never obtained. However, This girl doesn't seem to be interested in cars. She has a driver's license and I haven't seen her use her father's or He Tianran's car to practice.

"Well, then take a taxi and come here. I'll wait for you at the gate downstairs."

"ok~~"

……

……

About 10 minutes later, He Tianran had driven the car out of the basement and parked it on the side of the road at Shanhai Building. He was taking a nap in the passenger seat alone with his eyes closed until someone knocked on the window next to his ear. Two times, he opened his eyes, and Cao Aiqing was standing bowed outside the car window, keeping knocking on the window.

He Tianran pressed down the car window and said with a smile:

"The car door is not closed. Go to the driver's seat. Why are you knocking on my passenger window?"

"Whoa whoa……"

He Tianran was overjoyed by his girlfriend's naive expression for a moment. When he saw Cao Aiqing walking around the front of the car, he thought that was the end of it. Unexpectedly, the girl walked through the car door and walked around to the back of the car. She went around the car to check. I don't know. I thought it was a three-way test for subjects...

After a while, Cao Aiqing finally opened the car door and came in. He Tianran said in a mean voice:
"Let me tell you in advance, my co-pilot doesn't have brakes, so you have to drive carefully!"

His appearance made Cao Aiqing's face turn red with embarrassment. She couldn't help but stretched out her hand and slapped him hard, while still staring at his seat belt.

He Tianran understood immediately, and with a smile, he fastened the safety under the supervision of the other party's eyes. Then he subconsciously pressed the car seat and lay back.

The patient Cao Aiqing was still checking some buttons in the car. She thought that her cautious behavior would attract a burst of teasing from her boyfriend, but her ears actually became quiet. The girl felt something was wrong and turned her head. Look, it turned out that He Tianran had closed his eyes in the passenger seat.

Her boyfriend, who had always been high-spirited towards others, suddenly became depressed. This made Cao Aiqing ask softly:

"Tranquility, are you... very tired from work today?"

The lying man maintained his limp posture and shook his head, "I'm not tired, but my spirit is a little tired. I go to work. Isn't it normal to feel tired every two days..."

He Tianran didn't want Cao Aiqing to help him share the mental fatigue caused by work, and in his opinion, this was not a problem at all. The man just thought that he could take a rest as usual.

However, the next words that sounded like a mosquito sound were like a shot of chicken blood, causing He Tianran to open his eyes instantly!
Just listening to Cao Aiqing's words, Ai Ai seemed to be thinking and saying:
"Then... Husband, if you feel tired from work in the future, just tell me. If I happen to have time and have a driver's license, I will come over and drive a car for you... um, or buy some food to go home and cook for you in advance. It’s delicious…you know?”

The man suddenly turned his head and looked at his shy lover in front of him.

An unspeakable... emotion surged in his chest.

It wasn't that Cao Aiqing called him husband for a rare occasion, nor was it that the other party said that now that he had a driver's license, he could pick him up, or even wash his hands and make soup at home...

He Tianran had a lot to say in his heart, but he didn't know how to express it. In the end, he could only put a bright smile on his tired face.

"Wife..."

"……Um?"

"You should start the car first and then talk about it. By the way, the one you are pressing now is the windshield wiper, not the turn signal."

In a boring life, not every day may be meaningful; the enthusiasm for dreams when you were young will gradually cool down amidst the ravages and experiences of reality.

But in life, there is always something certain that just holding it in your hand can make you feel truly happy; there is always a moment that is enough to withstand the passage of time, making people feel that just for this second, No matter how long you wait, it's worth it! (End of chapter)
