When Yan Qing passed by his patio for the first time and saw the two red electric bicycles parked inside, he imagined that one day he might ride one of them and ride through the alleys of the imperial capital.
But he never imagined that this day would come so quickly.
On Wednesday morning, he was still a little unprepared at first, and he was riding a little swaying behind Miao Miao's car.
They followed Shibei Hutong, crossed Houhai, along the southern edge of Houhai, passed through Yangquan Hutong, passed Xinjiekou East Street and Xizhimen Nei Street, and found this single-family house at the entrance of Jacquard Grid Hutong.
The whole journey is only five kilometers and takes fifteen minutes to ride.
At this time, Luo Bing, Li Yannian, and Liu Mingren were chatting with the owner at the gate of the yard. When they saw two electric vehicles driving into the yard one after another, Luo Bing's eyes suddenly lit up.
The man wearing a black woolen hat, a white printed tee, a black leather bomber jacket, and off-white wide-leg sweatpants is Yan Qing.
Luo Bing quickly pushed Li Yannian and Liu Mingren with his hands. Only then did Liu Mingren react. He turned around and asked the cameramen who were scattered in twos and threes in the yard holding cameras to take empty shots and asked them one by one.
After confirming that a photographer had caught up with the scene, he made an OK gesture to Luo Bing and Li Yannian who were waiting there. At this time, Shao Qing, Weng Huaijing, and Zhou Peipei also arrived in Dingxin's nanny car.
.
The five parking spaces in the yard were already full of cars. Miao Miao and Yan Qing parked their electric cars in a corner of the yard.
After parking the car, the two of them slowly walked back to the entrance of the courtyard from the corner. Shao Qing had already joined Luo Bing and Li Yannian.
A group of people came to greet Yan Qing, while Liu Mingren arranged several cameras to follow him.
Miao Miao introduced to Yan Qing one by one the names and position information of the program group bosses in the front row.
Yan Qing combined the information given by Miao Miao before and matched the several producers in front of him one by one.
…………
Shao Qing, you are an old fox, no, you are an "old" acquaintance.
She still has the same "white-bones" look. Today she is wearing a light green asymmetrical cut dress, with her temples tied up high and her makeup exquisite.
Shao Qing gracefully stretched out his hand to shake hands with Yan Qing, and also complimented Yan Qing:
"Brother Qing, you are riding an electric bike to see the venue. This is so down-to-earth."
…………
Luo Bing, project director of Whispering Video's "Star Talk Silk Road" program.
He looks to be around forty years old, and his skin is well maintained. Even though he is smiling, there are no obvious fine lines.
She also maintained a good figure and wore a well-fitting suit and skirt. She shook hands with Yan Qing and exchanged greetings in a graceful manner.
Yan Qing silently added a comment in his heart
"The voice is also nice, with a faint Wu Nong soft-spoken accent in Mandarin."
…………
Li Yannian is the chief director of Pearl TV's "Star Talk Silk Road" and the project initiator of "Star Talk Silk Road".
Yan Qing guessed his age to be in his fifties, with fairly thick hair, a pair of black-rimmed glasses on his face, dark skin, a dark gray tunic suit, and a somewhat skinny figure.
Li Yannian's style seems a bit old-school, his voice is calm and deep, and he feels strong when shaking hands.
After holding Yan Qing with his right hand, he gently patted the back of Yan Qing's hand with his left hand. There was some earnestness in his tone when he spoke.
"I hope you can put out a few more songs as good as "The Beginning of Autumn" in the program. My daughter Qianqian likes to listen to this song very much. Pearl TV is very optimistic about this column. If there is any need for coordination in the future, you can directly
Mention it to me."
Yan Qing quickly agreed.
…………
Liu Mingren is the deputy director of Pearl TV's "Star Talk Silk Road" and the head of the preparatory team for the sub-column jointly run by Yan Qing and Weng Huaijing. He will be based in the Imperial Capital during this period.
Liu Mingren, who is fair and chubby, is estimated to be in his thirties. He is wearing a denim jacket, his hairline is somewhat endangered, and there are a few drops of sweat on his forehead.
As soon as Yan Qing heard the name, he knew that it was the deputy director of the program team who sent him to Huashan Hospital. When shaking hands with Liu Mingren, he did not forget to bow and add a slightly late thank you.
Liu Mingren's attitude was very humble. When he bowed in return, he said: "Teacher Yan Qing is so polite. This is what I should do."
…………
After Luo Bing waited for Liu Mingren to finish communicating with Yan Qing, he called for the behind-the-scenes team who were following him to come over and prepare to follow the owner into the two-story building to visit.
Only then did Yan Qing see Weng Huaijing and her transparent assistant named Peipei, who were standing a little far away.
Weng Huaijing also wore a hat today. A blue woolen hat was lightly placed on her smooth shoulder-length hair. She wore a thin long windbreaker that covered her knees. Under the gray windbreaker, she wore a light-colored blazer.
The bottom shirt is tucked into nine-point pencil pants, and on the feet is a pair of black flat-heeled leather shoes.
Without makeup, she put her hands in the pockets of her windbreaker, holding a mini presbyopia pochette metis messenger bag across her body, with a cold expression on her face.
Weng Huaijing saw Yan Qing looking towards her and immediately looked away.
When the owner, Luo Bing and others passed by her and continued walking into the building, Weng Huaijing also led Zhou Peipei and hung slowly behind the footsteps of the people walking into the building.
Yan Qing and Miao Miao fell at the back of the team, and he smelled the soothing scent of rosemary again.
I followed the owner around the small building. The structure of the first floor of the small building is very simple. After entering, the entire first floor is a fully open hall. The two-stage stairwell is in a symmetrical position at the hall door.
There are restrooms and tea rooms on both sides of the stairwell. The left and right sides of the hall are cut into semi-enclosed office areas with small cubicles by desks with glass partitions.
The owner said that these desks were given to him at a discount when the "Emperor's Unreliable Youth" magazine went bankrupt, and the program team could rearrange them according to their own needs.
If the program team doesn't need it at that time and it takes up space, he can send a car to take it away.
The right half of the space layout on the second floor of the small building is exactly the same as the right side of the first floor, and is also the cubicle office area.
On the left, there are two rows of rooms separated by tempered glass. One row contains three smaller offices, and the other row is a suite office with a reception room, office, and lounge.
After moving around the two-story building, Luo Bing communicated with Yan Qing and Weng Huaijing alone, and then called Liu Mingren to explain the renovation construction plan to the two main creators.
The plan is to retain the cubicle on the left side of the first floor and leave it for the program production team to work and edit programs. The right half will be completely cleared and arranged into an open performing arts bar.
In addition to basic band instruments and sound effects synthesizers, the stage of the performing arts bar also has the budget for an upright piano at Miao Miao's suggestion.
The two rows of offices on the second floor will be converted into two artist rest suites with a reception area, living room, and study room according to the standards of a five-star hotel executive suite for the two program creators.
The cubicle on the second floor will also be completely demolished, and Miao Miao and Shao Qing's proposal will be used to transform it into a script and character reading conference room and a ballet practice room.
The walls around the practice room will be covered with glass mirrors, so that when you need to figure out the role, you can also come to the practice room and correct your performance in front of the mirror.
Yan Qing and Weng Huaijing had no objections to the transformation plan proposed by Liu Mingren. The program team participating in today's on-site review started busy according to the previously finalized plan.
Liu Mingren, together with the accountants and cashiers of the sub-column preparation team, took out the negotiated contract and formally signed a one-year lease with the owner.
Luo Bing arranged for the staff of Whispering Video to call the construction party to inform them that they were ready to enter the site in the afternoon to start construction and renovation, and to greet the suppliers who had already ordered the equipment to start preparing for scheduled delivery according to the construction schedule.
Li Yannian also called the logistics team members of the preparatory team to come over and confirm with Shao Qing and Miao Miao the list of props that the preparatory team has made.
The team of cameramen followed Liu Mingren's previously assigned tracking tasks and continued to follow the two program creators from the assigned angles.
If we look around from a God's perspective, there are only two partners idle in the room: Yan Qing and Weng Huaijing.
Separated between the two people were a group of busy people with different expressions.
A long-range camera inadvertently captured this scene:
The two people's wandering eyes were connected across the crowd for a certain second, and then disconnected immediately.
Smelling the faint scent of rosemary in the air, a lyric suddenly floated into Yan Qing's mind:
"I'm standing on your left, but it's like I'm separated by the Milky Way."
