Chapter 130

Huan Xu had just praised Yan Ze's video editing, but Yan Ze's focus had clearly shifted again: "Why don't you mention the content?"

He just praised his technique. Does Huan Xu think the content he edited is not good?

Huan Xu didn't know what Yan Ze was thinking. He looked at Yan Ze's reply, quickly analyzing Yan Ze's current thoughts, and continued to probe, "Are you angry?"

Yan Ze blinked: "What?"

Just when Yan Ze was puzzled as to why Huan Xu thought he was angry, a message came from the communication page. Yan Ze clicked the connection, and Huan Xu's face appeared on the virtual screen.

He carefully studied Yan Ze's expression, and after confirming that Yan Ze had no resistance, he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he wasn't resistant, that was good. However, Huan Xu explained, "As long as he wasn't angry, that's good. I didn't expect to have so many couples online. Whether they're career fans or couple fans, they're all fans, and they all genuinely like and support us."

"If certain topics make you unhappy, I apologize on behalf of the fans and you."

Huan Xu meant that if Yan Ze didn't like the netizens' memes about their relationship, Huan Xu would apologize to Yan Ze on behalf of his fans. However, when Yan Ze heard this, it took on a different meaning:

It was still Huan Xu who apologized on behalf of the fans, but it was because Huan Xu and he were in an official relationship, but the fans were shipping him and other people's couples, which was unfair to him. However, it was not easy for Huan Xu to stop this on his own, and the fans didn't have any bad intentions, so Huan Xu felt that he was wronged and was comforting him.

Yan Ze coughed lightly. He wasn't angry. After all, Huan Xu only had one boyfriend, and it was him, not someone else. Didn't that explain everything? As the man behind Director Huan, of course he would remain magnanimous. This was the calmness and decency of the main character.

After shutting down his computer, Huan Xu suddenly smiled again. Previously scandal-free Xiaoyan hadn't been adverse to the existence of his CP fans. Otherwise, it could only mean that he hadn't considered anything else at all. He was either incredibly slow-witted, or he had no regrets. Otherwise...

The probability of having a favorable impression increases to 85%.

Maybe try to take it a step further?

Director Huan shoots movies with great vigor and decisiveness, and he does not hesitate or hesitate too much when it comes to his own feelings. Having experienced life and death, he knows too well that if many things are not said in time, there may be no chance to speak out again in the future.

Therefore, after making his own feelings clear, he began to test Yan Ze's attitude.

If Yan Ze shows rejection and refusal, he will stop in time. No matter whether Yan Ze is heterosexual or asexual, since the other party has no idea about homosexuality, Huan Xu will not turn him into a gay. Even if Yan Ze also likes homosexuals but does not like him, Huan Xu will keep a proper distance and continue to be friends with him. Of course, in the future, the relationship between the two will only remain at the level of friends.

Perhaps, in order to stay rational, we will keep a little distance and maintain decency and connection, which is enough.

But now Huan Xu came to the conclusion that Yan Ze was very likely to like him as well. Since they liked each other, why not try to take it a step further? Enjoy life while you can and cherish the person in front of you. If you really missed each other due to an accident, you would regret it for the rest of your life.

Of course, communicating with each other also requires the right occasion and atmosphere.

Huan Xu calculated the days and circled a date on the calendar of his optical computer. It was the interstellar version of Valentine's Day, which was exactly one and a half months away. It was a good day.

On the other hand, Yan Ze was also paying attention to the date. Before Valentine's Day, the date that was deliberately circled was Huan Xu's birthday, and on this day, Yan Ze also had a plan he had planned for a long time.

Neither of them knew that the other was preparing a surprise for each other.

Before Valentine's Day and Huan Xu's birthday, there is another happy event, that is, new planets are about to merge.

As the merger of the nine stars gradually progressed, based on the good basic environment of the first few planets and combined with the opinions of the general public, the authorities gradually accelerated the pace of merging the remaining stars.

The next merged planet is also a place with a destiny for Huan Xu and Yan Ze.

The hometown of music, Southeast Yang Tianxing.

When filming Jinse, in order to make the two leading actors more in line with the image of the protagonists, Huan Xu packed up Bai Yi and Wei Xuanzhe and sent them to Yangtianxing. While strolling around the street music festival in the capital of Yangtianxing at night, Huan Xu also met Yan Ze and You Xiang who were on a business trip. That was the second time they met. Thinking of the scene at that time, Huan Xu's eyes flashed with a smile as he mistook Yan Ze for a male fan.

As for Yang Tianxing's taste, as a music star, even the film and television industry will definitely be linked to the public's taste. Musicals and musicals with a strong musical atmosphere and dialogues often expressed in the form of singing and dancing are Yang Tianxing's characteristic popular film and television works.

In addition, the audience's taste tends to be towards light-hearted comedies or growth-inspiring dramas. In the land of music, many pop music superstars themselves are representatives of inspirational growth.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Huan Xu has also decided on the types of the two plays. One is a musical and the other is inspirational.

After deciding on the subject matter, Huan Xu began to conceive the script. Many ideas popped up in his mind and were written down in his notebook. He then eliminated them one by one. The last thing left on the notebook was the name of a classic work, "Les Miserables", a world-class masterpiece from Blue Star. The Xia Kingdom in the Blue Star era where Huan Xu lived is also one of the must-read masterpieces for middle and high school students.

When Huan Xu read this book for the first time, he was deeply moved by this "encyclopedia" of human suffering with gorgeous colors, grand momentum, and perfect combination of realism and romanticism. In addition, the portrayal of each character in the book is also extremely classic and unforgettable.

As he grew older, every time he looked back at the book, his different experiences and increased knowledge would give Huan Xu new and deeper insights.

This Blue Star Era book "Les Miserables" has been adapted and remade into stage plays, movies, TV series, etc. again and again in many countries.

Huan Xu remembers that when he was filming in Gaul, the hometown of Hugo, he was invited by a local friend to watch a musical performance at the National Theater with him. The performance was the classic "Les Miserables".

It was a perfect performance. Whether it was the actors' acting and lines or the atmosphere and music, the combination and coordination of various elements were perfectly coordinated. At the end of the performance, the audience applauded loudly, which Huan Xu still remembers vividly.

This time, Huan Xu tried to combine this classic masterpiece with the music of Yang Tianxing, presenting the musical version of Les Miserables to all the audiences of Yang Tianxing and the interstellar world, revisiting the classics with everyone, and letting the wind of the revival of the mother planet's culture blow into the field of literature.

Huan Xu had previously remade Liang Zhu, sparking a craze among interstellar people to read the classics of the Xia Kingdom. However, in addition to the cultural works of the Xia Kingdom itself, other countries on the mother planet also have their own brilliant culture and glory, which are all treasures of the world and mankind.

Just as someone had lamented before, Huan Xu wanted to tell the interstellar people once again: there is still a lot of wealth left by our ancestors for future generations. It is a mountain of gold and silver, and it is a treasure that is constantly waiting for future generations to dig and rediscover.

The script is already available, and during the process of polishing it, Huan Xu's Xingbo and Xinghuo official websites also simultaneously issued casting invitations.

This time, the casting of "Les Miserables" was unusual. Huan Xu did not use any of Xinghuo's own artists because he wanted to restore the original work as much as possible. Just like when he was filming Guide Dogs before, with the background of Daxia, even though the lead actor was a dog, he wanted to find a pastoral dog that was more suitable for the role, so he chose Dahei.

Since the original setting of "Les Miserables" is Gaul, Huan Xu wants to choose appropriate candidates for the main characters, supporting characters, or even passers-by in the play, both in terms of appearance and performance and feeling.

Huan Xu personally auditioned and screened the actors for Jean Valjean, Bishop Myriel, Fantine, Javert, Marius, Cosette, Éponine...even the young actors who died in battle and only appeared in a few shots.

Huan Xu's crew started filming in a low-key manner, but the outside world was not calm, mainly because the audience was scared by Xinghuo's publicity.

Xinghuo Entertainment official website: [Warmly welcome Yang Tian's return, Xinghuo Entertainment joins hands with Director Huan to present an audio-visual feast for everyone. The large-scale musical "Les Miserables", adapted from the popular literary masterpiece of the mother planet era, will be performed in a shocking way.

Despite all the hardships of life, hope remains. Even if the night is dark, the sun will rise. - Victor Hugo

@actorGerard#@actorFrançois@actorSolene…

Singing songs of hope with their beautiful voices... Together they have woven a magnificent epic of love, sacrifice, and rebirth, and we invite you to enjoy it together.

As early as the official announcement of the impending merger between Yangtian and Starfire, fans and viewers were already rubbing their hands in anticipation. As soon as Starfire released the announcement, they had a feeling it was just as expected, but something was a little off...

"Although I'm very happy about the new show, I shuddered at the name 'Les Miserables' and whispered, 'How miserable is it?'"

"Ahhh, Director Huan has revealed his true colors and is going to film a tragedy straight away, right?"

"For the first time, I'm not so envious of the families of the newly merged stars, even though they can get two of Director Huan's works for free."

"I strongly protest. Life is already hard enough. Can't Director Huan give us something sweet?"

"If you don't like torture, don't watch it, dog head."

"What a joke! I can't help but watch this. I have to watch it to the end even if I cry to death!"

The filming of the movie was completed, and there were still more than ten days before Yang Tian returned. However, before Les Miserables was released, the first birthday to come was Huan Xu's.

Last year, when Director Huan celebrated his birthday, he was on a business trip and everyone in Xinghuo was unable to celebrate with him. This is a regret that everyone has always remembered. Today is Director Huan’s birthday again and everyone is ready to give him a grand birthday.

As the representative sent by everyone, Ye Qian found Huan Xu to ask for the opinions of the parties involved.

"Does Director Huan prefer the starry sky scene where he travels through space and is accompanied by the stars, or does he prefer Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, or something else?"

No matter what Huan Xu likes, two words: arrange! As long as Director Huan nods, Manager Ye will go to arrange the venue. It's not a holographic simulation, but a real one.

If Huan Xu wanted to look up at the stars, he could contract a luxury spaceship and really go to space.

If Huan Xu said he liked the ocean, the Xinghuo people would charter a luxury submarine for him and give him a dreamlike underwater birthday party.

This money was not paid from the company's account. Qin Dongxiao originally wanted to shoulder all the expenses for Director Huan's birthday by himself, but his little trick was exposed by other actors. Of course, they couldn't let Young Master Qin take all the credit, so now everyone raised money to celebrate Director Huan's birthday.

There is no need for extravagance and waste at this time. Luxury, decadence and prestige are the only options!

Huan Xu quickly waved his hands: "It's just a birthday, there's no need to go to such trouble. Just celebrate it at the company, no need to go out."

Ye Qian smiled and said, "The production of the new movie has been completed. Everyone sees how hard you've worked and wants to take this opportunity to relax."

"Now that the pace of planet mergers is accelerating, if the last few planets to merge still follow the old rules and release a new film to welcome each new planet's merger, the pressure will be even greater than it is now."

Manager Ye paused again, revealing a foxy and malicious smile, and continued with a tone of gloating, "Besides the films we release normally, our Director Huan is also heavily in debt. It's really hard on him!"

Huan Xu: ...Can we still be good friends?

Huan Xu once again had the evil idea of ​​deducting Manager Ye's salary.

Huan Xu finally said, "I appreciate everyone's kindness. Just a simple birthday will be fine. It's not just me who's working hard, it's everyone else's as well. Just hold on a little longer until all nine stars are merged. After that, there's no need to rush the progress. I'll pay for our company to go on a team-building trip for a few days and have some fun."

Since it is Huan Xu's birthday, everyone must respect Director Huan's opinion.

Although it is a bit regrettable that I cannot go out to become a star, there are other ways to survive.

In the blink of an eye, it was Huan Xu's birthday.

Not only everyone in real life, but also Huan Xu's fans on the Internet will certainly not forget such an important day.

As a new day arrived, countless fans quickly posted high-profile messages under Director Huan’s Weibo, wishing Director Huan a happy birthday. At the same time, gorgeous fireworks were launched into the sky.

The fans’ goal is: Director Huan’s birthday must be celebrated according to Director Xing’s standards, with 24 hours of fireworks. To this end, the major fan groups have already discussed the time schedule in advance.

The bosses in a certain wealthy fan group even said with a flourish, "The others will be released first, and they will make up for the difference in the end. We will make sure that Director Huan's birthday is a lively one all day long!"

At noon, all the employees of Xinghuo sent birthday wishes to Director Huan. Gu Chen and Professor Gu pushed out a huge birthday cake. As everyone in Xinghuo sang Happy Birthday, Huan Xu made a wish and blew out the candles on the cake.

The cake was cut into pieces, one for each person. Several restaurants under Wu Qianying's name drove their portable food trucks directly to the downstairs of Xinghuo's building, and prepared to deliver the food to Director Huan and Xinghuo's family. The food was cooked and eaten immediately, which was so thoughtful.

At noon, Director Huan was handed over to the Xinghuo family.

In the afternoon, the employees of Xinghuo returned to their jobs, and Director Huan got dressed and went out. Downstairs in Xinghuo, Yan Ze was already waiting for him in a hovercraft.

Last year, on Huan Xu's birthday, Yan Ze traveled thousands of miles to Haotian Star to celebrate with him, and of course he would not be absent this year.

Watching Director Huan hurriedly leaving, Ye Qian touched his chin and looked at Xiao Gu: "So the reason why Director Huan didn't go out is because he had already made an appointment with President Yan, right?"

Ye Qian was not wrong. Long before Ye Qian came to his door, Yan Ze had already made an appointment with Huan Xu for the day's arrangements.

In the hovercraft, while waiting for Huan Xu to come out, Yan Ze looked at himself in the mirror again with a little uneasiness. After finally confirming that there was still not a single hair out of place, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"It didn't take long."

Yan Ze opened the passenger seat and Huan Xu got in.

There were only Huan Xu and Yan Ze in the car. Yan Ze drove the hover car himself, and Secretary Gao did not follow him this time.

As the car started steadily and moved forward steadily, Huan Xu glanced at Yan Ze. His gaze paused on Yan Ze's hair, which was fixed with hairspray and not a single strand out of place. He then looked at Yan Ze's clothes, which were obviously carefully groomed and matched.

Before Huan Xu left the house this morning, he had thought about his "date" in the afternoon and had made arrangements in advance. When he came out of Xinghuo just now, he had specifically confirmed that there was no problem.

Every time the two met before, Yan Ze's image and outfit, even the small details and accessories, were all coordinated. It could be seen that he had dressed up in advance, and he also left Director Huan with the impression of a cute and "vain" person.

However, Yan Ze’s outfit today is too formal. He doesn’t look like he is going out for fun, but rather like he is attending a big event like a carnival night, or an important business meeting.

Huan Xu asked uncertainly, "Didn't you say there was no work in the morning?"

Yan Ze: "No, I came directly from home."

President Yan looked calm on the surface, but his hands tightly gripping the steering wheel revealed that he was uncharacteristically nervous today.

Feeling Huan Xu still staring at him, Yan Ze's Adam's apple moved up and down: "What, what's wrong?"

Could it be that the hair on the forehead has fallen off again?

Before, it was that hair that always made trouble and refused to be fixed, causing him to spend a long time at home dealing with it and almost making him late for going out.

If he were late today, Yan Ze couldn't imagine what the scene would be like.

I'm afraid I won't want my long hair anymore. Of course, in Huan Xu's words, even if I become a bald man, Mr. Yan will definitely be the most handsome bald cool guy. If there is any change, at most he will be a little colder and scarier, which is not a big problem.

Huan Xu also noticed Yan Ze's discomfort and blinked: "We kept it a secret before, but now that I'm in the car, can you tell me where our destination is?"

What's going on? He said he was giving him a surprise, but Yan Ze looked even more nervous than him, which made Huan Xu nervous as well. Emotions are contagious.

Hearing Huan Xu's question, Yan Ze said that he would keep the mystery to the end.

Huan Xu: "We agreed before that we would have a small gathering tonight. Uncle Gu has booked a private room, so we can just go to the old kitchen. Oh, and Uncle Gu also asked me to tell you, don't forget that time has taken me away."

Yan Ze's ears blushed, and facing the teasing in Huan Xu's words, he nodded a little embarrassedly.

However, as he chatted with Huan Xu, Yan Ze's nervous heart relaxed a little.

Forty minutes later, the hovercraft's speed slowly slowed down, and Yan Ze reminded Huan Xu, "We're almost there."

Huan Xu looked down, but what he saw were the same protective facilities as before Weiyang Street was officially opened.

The only difference is that the protected area below the two people is larger than Weiyang Street. Even if Weiyang Street and Xinghuo Liaoyuan next to it are added together, the area is far less than the area below.

Huan Xu suddenly remembered that he had heard news reports before that Fenghuo Entertainment had bid for land, and some people even speculated whether Fenghuo Entertainment was preparing to enter the real estate industry. Huan Xu remembered that he had asked Yan Ze before, and Yan Ze told him that it needed to be kept confidential for the time being, so Huan Xu did not continue to ask about the important business information within Fenghuo.

The location seems to be right too.

But I didn't expect that Yan Ze, who said he would give me a surprise, actually brought me here.

Huan Xu: "Is this the piece of land you photographed earlier?"

The hovercraft slowly descended. After receiving Yan Ze's affirmative answer, Huan Xu asked curiously, "Is Fenghuo finally developed it? Are they inviting me to be one of the first to visit?"

He was indeed quite curious. He wondered whether this land would be developed into a residential area, a commercial area, or as some netizens had speculated, another large-scale theme resort built by Fenghuo?

Yan Ze nodded and shook his head: "It is a surprise, but it is not from Fenghuo Construction."

Without waiting for Huan Xu to ask, Yan Ze continued to explain: "It's not Fenghuo's. I bought and developed this land with my own money."

Huan Xu was stunned. Before he could digest the amount of information and the value of Yan Ze's words, Yan Ze had already parked the hovercraft and extended an invitation to him.

"We're here, come in and take a look. Here are the surprises and gifts I prepared for you."

Standing in front of the last protective door, Yan Ze pulled out his authorization card from his pocket, but did not immediately swipe it to verify his identity. Instead, he turned to look at Huan Xu and said, "Blindfold yourself, okay?"

Huan Xu raised an eyebrow. "What on earth is this? It's so mysterious... Is this okay?"

Huan Xu raised his arm in front of his eyes, but although he blocked it, a gap was blatantly revealed between his index finger and ring finger.

Yan Ze sighed, but there was no impatience in his narrow eyes, but rather a hint of indulgence.

However, you still can't cheat...

Yan Ze took out the long silk scarf from the breast pocket of his suit and gestured to Huan Xu: "I'll put it on for you and take it off later."

Very good, it is obvious that a certain president had planned this in advance.

With a "beep", the highest level authority card was swiped, the iris authentication was successful, and the closed door blocking the two people slowly opened to both sides.

Huan Xu's eyes were covered, so he could only rely on the sound to determine his direction. He raised his hand and groped for direction, taking a tentative step forward. "Let's go in. Am I going in the right direction?"

Another pair of big hands held his arms firmly: "Slow down, it's not far, I'll hold you, we'll be there soon."

Approaching from behind, Yan Ze paused, his ears flushed as he placed one hand on Huan Xu's shoulder and held his wrist with the other.

Being in close contact, neither of them wore perfume, but they could faintly smell the scent of refreshing shampoo emanating from each other. It was not pungent but rather light and pleasant. Yan Ze's ears turned even redder.
