Chapter 12

To celebrate Wu Ti's climb to the top of the new charts, fans set off fireworks under Huan Xu's star blog all night long. As time gradually approached midnight, the fans' enthusiasm finally began to wane.

"Go take a shower and go to bed. I'll continue working to save money tomorrow and give flowers to our Xiao Huan."

Unexpectedly, this is not the end, but the beginning!

The hour hand moved slowly, crossing the center of twelve. The old month passed and the new month came.

Countless practitioners in the entertainment industry are waiting for the refresh of the Cang Tian Xing director rankings, which are updated every quarter, on the official website of Cang Lan Xing. Even the top three are no exception.

The most authoritative director ranking list of Cang Tianxing is hung high at the top. On the list with the starry sky and the Milky Way as the background, there are only nine names, which are the nine top directors alive in Cang Tianxing today.

Some people call them "star guides".

Some people prefer to call them "Shadow Gods".

Regardless of what kind of honorific it is, in today's era, its significance in the hearts of the people is self-evident.

Some people may not know the names of the best actor or actress, but no one does not know the names of the nine star directors!

Below the star directors are the lists of platinum directors, gold directors, silver and bronze directors, and the pyramid generally spreads downward in sequence.

The lower the level, the more people there are.

The intelligent systems of various entertainment companies collect books and compare them with the director list of the previous issue. Needless to say, the list of star directors, platinum and gold directors has not changed. This is also within everyone's expectations. Last quarter, there were no directors rushing to the list, and no phenomenal works appeared.

However, there are four more silver-level directors on the list than on the last time. Within three months, four bronze-level directors from the entire Cang Tianxing successfully ranked up and advanced to the silver level.

Some were happy while others were sad. The entertainment companies of the four directors immediately sent out the congratulatory messages they had prepared in advance.

Several bronze-level directors who had the intention but failed to advance sighed and decided to go to bed. He Wen also put it away and waited for the next opportunity.

After the silver level is the bronze level. Compared with the list above, the bronze level list has more changes, with a total of more than fifty changes, and thirty-two directors have obtained ranking certification.

In addition, 24 bronze-level directors were demoted and removed from the list because they made more than five bad films in a row.

The director's ranking is not static. After being promoted, if he does not make progress and continues to produce works that hurt the audience, he will be punished by being demoted according to the list.

Directors who have been promoted to the silver medal are generally more careful about their reputation and perform more stably, so it is rare for them to be demoted above the silver level.

The level of bronze-level directors is not stable, especially some directors who successfully upgrade due to a flash of inspiration, but their actual level is still not up to par, and they can easily be demoted after being promoted.

The Starfire people were also paying attention to the director rankings, but since it had little to do with them, they didn't pay much attention to it.

So everyone was frightened again.

Without any preparation or warning, the ranking of the directors signed by the company changed. No one was removed from the list, but instead entered the list.

Huan Xu is on the list.

A newcomer made his debut and made it to the bronze list with just one work!

Smart Xiaohuo@Everyone in the company, everyone in Xinghuo is confused, and the fans are also confused.

After confirming that Smart Fire was not malfunctioning, Huan Xu's name did appear on the bronze list. After a brief period of silence, fans were the first to get excited, even more crazy than when Untitled topped the list.

The screen was constantly bombarded with fireworks. Qian Xin, who had become a die-hard fan of Huan Xu, screamed and posted fireworks on Huan Xu's homepage. She was not the only one who did this.

The genius who was a newcomer on the list now has his name hanging high at the top of the pyramid.

After that person, countless directors on the Cang Tian Star wanted to make a big splash, but after so many years, no one succeeded.

Now, Huan Xu's first work is on the list.

Regardless of whether he can reproduce the glory of that star director in the future, it is enough for him to be proud and for his fans to be proud of him at this moment.

"Newly crowned number one, first work wins bronze, who else besides me, Director Huan, could win this title!!!"

"Family members, don't stop, keep playing music and dancing."

"What a lack of education, but he can conquer the world with just one word, Director Huan is awesome!"

“Totally crazy!”

Inside Huang Hao's bachelor apartment, a cry of unwillingness was heard: "Ah—why—ah?!"

With red eyes, Huang Hao wanted to howl and vent his anger, but the next second, someone knocked hard on the wall, and a rough voice came from the opposite side:

"You bastard, you're not sleeping in the middle of the night and barking like a dog. Are you asking for a beating? Ah, talk to me."

The people next door seem to be immigrants from another planet. Moreover, they are not from another planet, but from the "barbarian" planet that is said to roll up their sleeves and fight for real if they disagree with something.

Standing by the wall, Huang Hao didn't dare to say a word.

The neighbor next door angrily hammered the wall twice and cursed a few times, and then the footsteps gradually faded away.

A minute later, Huang Hao sat on the bed, muttering softly, "If you have the guts, do it! Do you really think I'm afraid of you? All you have in your head is water and muscle, haha, tui."

Finally, Huang Hao came to the conclusion without knowing where he came from: "Damn it, it's all Huanxu's fault!"

On the other side, in the Yan family villa, Yan An also let out a "Fuck", walked around the room twice, and rushed out of the bedroom.

Just as Yan An thought, the light was still on in the study at the end of the corridor.

Snap, clack, slippers stepped on the ground, and he came to the door of the study. He raised his hand and knocked on the door. After waiting for a moment, a voice came from the study: "Come in."

Yan An opened the door and slowly poked his head out from behind the crack. He hadn't even had time to wash off the green algae mask on his face. "Brother, are you still awake?"

Facing Yan An’s big round green face, Yan Ze: “…”

Pretending not to notice Yan Ze's disdainful look, Yan An went into the study and began to chatter with his brother: "Brother, this is incredible! The director rankings have just been updated, and Huan Xu has made it to the bronze level!"

Yan Ze: “Yeah.”

"Huan Xu, the director of Untitled, got the point, right? Newcomers are on the list faster than Uncle An!"

"No way, brother, even if you don't know Huan Xu, you should have heard of Wu Ti, right?"

Yan Ze finally spoke, but it made Yan An so angry that his teeth itched: "'Untitled' was the one that knocked your 'Weekly Lovers' off the show, of course I know that."

Yan An: “…” His fist hardened again.

Taking a deep breath, Yan An calmed down and began to ask questions rapidly:

"Brother, you've seen Untitled, right? Although I'm a little reluctant, I have to admit that Huan Xu, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, is really something."

"Speaking of a guy like this, isn't the company planning to poach him?"

"I just don't know if Huan Xu will reach the peak right after his debut, or if he will continue to soar to the sky. Brother, please tell me something."

Yan Ze, who had no chance to speak at all, rubbed his forehead and waved his hand like he was chasing away a mosquito: "I haven't seen it. There are professional departments to evaluate whether to dig people up or not. We'll know what happens next. If you don't go back, you won't be able to get the slap on your face anymore."

Reminded by Yan Ze, Yan An raised his hand and touched the mask that was beginning to crack. He hissed and turned away without caring about Yan Ze. Before leaving, he did not forget to cling to the door frame and persuade Yan Ze:

"Untitled is really well-made, much better than those financial reports. Believe me, I strongly recommend you, Yan Shuai Shuai, to watch it. If you don't absorb some young people's ideas, Yan Shuai Shuai, you will be out of touch with modern society, old man."

"No, grandpa is more handsome than Yan Shuai and you are so cool."

Finally finding an opportunity to teach Yan Ze a lesson, Yan An, fearing retaliation, ran away even faster than when he came.

As for the name Yan Shuaishuai, which is a combination of local and lively, it was not given by Yan An, but the nickname of Yan Bazong, who was created by Tianliang Wangpo. It was the "shadow" that accompanied him throughout his childhood.

Hahaha!

Looking at Yan An's arrogant back as he ran away, Yan Ze seemed to hear his even more arrogant laughter. He raised his hand and pressed his beating solar plexus to calm himself down before reopening the computer that he had turned off before Yan An entered.

I had said before that I had never seen Untitled Yan Ba ​​Zong. On the screen in front of me, the film has progressed to the end. If you look at the backstage records, you will find that this is not the first time I have watched it.

Shocked, why does the boss stay up late at night?

Answer: Watch the popular drama three times.

A few minutes later, the film freezes at the Ascension Gate, with Xiaoyu and the scholar holding hands.

Yan Ze did not exit the interface, but instead operated another light computer and opened an anonymous account that had not been authenticated by Yan Ze's identity.

Nickname: [Taihang] The avatar is a towering mountain. However, even if it is not verified, Taihang's account has nearly 20 million fans.

Browsing the content posted by [Taihang], it is basically related to movies, although this account is just a private account for Yan Ze to record his impressions of movies that he has watched and thought were good.

Unintentionally, he gained a large fan base due to his insightful comments and became an amateur film critic.

In the past three months, Taihang has not published any new film reviews. However, the Star Network space is still quite lively, with many fans leaving messages to recommend the film. The latest recommendation is "Untitled", which has received a lot of likes.

Yan Ze closed the message area, edited the review he had already prepared, and clicked send.

[Taihang]: It's hard to meet, and hard to part, the sound of the midnight wind reaches my heart. It's hard to meet, and hard to part, the east wind is weak and the flowers are withered. The scholar has exhausted his pen and ink, but fortunately he has not become a passerby.

The author has something to say:

The film review in the article is limited by the author's level. If it is not well written, it is not the critic's fault, but the author's fault. It is assumed that the domineering boss Yan Shuaishuai is cultured.
