Chapter 14

No matter how complicated their feelings were, the two directors still congratulated Huan Xu in the employee group.

The artists also cheered for Huan Xu and gave him a heart.

Dong Xiao: As expected of Director Huan, awesome!

Wu Qianying: Cheer for Director Huan.

Ji Xiaowan (Struggle Version): Director Huan is fighting~

Huan Xu is not ignorant of the ways of the world. The artists of Xinghuo were congratulating him in the group, and seeing this, Huan Xu also popped up in the group.

Huan Xu: Thank you all for your support. I hope all my colleagues will work hard for some time. Because the plot is special this time, the leading role needs professional actors to perform better. There are still some positions for supporting roles. If you are interested in participating, you are always welcome to work with us again.

Huan Xu: If there is an opportunity and a suitable script in the future, I will give priority to Xinghuo’s own artists. PS, it would be even better if everyone’s acting skills can continue to improve. Smile.

The artists were stunned. They didn't expect Huan Xu still thought about them and was willing to let them join the group.

Supporting roles are just supporting roles, and in Director Huan’s scripts, the supporting roles are also distinctive enough!

Haven’t you seen in Untitled that, apart from Xiaoyu and the scholar, the Taoist priest Qingyangzi with his free and easy personality and the beautiful and flamboyant Princess Yongning are no less popular than the protagonist?

Even the mature uncle Qi Wang and others who were made into ghost videos by netizens have attracted a lot of attention.

Because Qin Dongxiao was in the crew, discussing the plot with the director of the new drama, when he came back, Wu Qianying had already taken the lead and expressed her loyalty to Huan Xu.

Wu Qianying (Advanced Acting Version): Director Huan, don't worry. I have already signed up for three more acting classes during my break. I promise to be always on standby and will not let you down!

Qin Dongxiao, who was a step behind, gritted his teeth and quickly said: Thank you Director Huan for still remembering all of us. We should keep learning throughout our lives. I hope that when we work together next time, Director Huan can see a better me.

Ji Xiaowan, who only reacted after being urged by her good friend Wu Qianying, also said: Be prepared at all times, clench your fist!

Immediately below the three of them, there was a row of statements from artists expressing their loyalty.

Huan Xu: ...

To be honest, it feels like the concubines in the harem are competing for favor.

Shaking his head, Huan Xu did not continue chatting in the group and went to his stepfather's office.

"Uncle Gu, I'd like to ask you for a favor."

It seemed like this was the first time Huan Xu asked for help. Gu's father was a little excited and a little nervous: "Xiao Xu, you tell me, Uncle Gu will do his best to do it."

"It's not that serious. Uncle Gu, can you recommend me some experts and professors on Ancient Blue Star?"

Gu Mingrui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He might not be good at other things, but if he was someone in the Blue Star cultural circle, he thought he still had some face. Even if he was not familiar with them, he could still get introductions from friends. After all, the entire circle was only that big.

"Xiao Xu, are you planning to shoot a film about Blue Planet this time? What kind of scholars would you like to meet? Architecture, poetry, or history?"

There was one more thing that Gu Mingrui didn't say with a sense of shame. In fact, in his heart, based on the construction of the Untitled Book, he felt that their Xiao Xu seemed to be more professional than scholars like them. He was also an all-round scholar who could be competent in many aspects.

Even he himself might not understand the knowledge as thoroughly as Xiao Xu.

genius.

Professor Gu then thought with pride that Manman was very smart and capable, and Xiaoxu inherited this from his mother.

Huan Xu smiled and said, "Uncle Gu, I'm looking for a teacher who understands Blue Star classical music and arranging to help me. I want to create a more suitable theme song. Do you have any suitable teachers to recommend?"

If there was anything Huan Xu was dissatisfied with about "Untitled", it would be the arrangement. Since the new play was related to opera, it had to be perfect.

Gu Mingrui thought for a moment and thought of a suitable candidate: "There is indeed a professor in a related major. Give me some time and I will contact him."

"Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Gu."

Professor Gu promised to help Huan Xu contact other professors. After Huan Xu left, he did not waste time and immediately started contacting old friends to build relationships.

Professor Gu's old friends also had a great impression of Huan Xu, who had made the film "Untitled" and promoted the culture of his motherland, and they all patted their chests to make promises.

There are only a small group of people in the entire Cangtian Star who study the culture of the mother planet, and their network of relationships is really not very large. Once they contacted each other, they were connected to Director Sun of the Poetry Research Institute.

On the other end of the communicator, Director Sun almost laughed out loud. "What a coincidence! I'm closest to Lao Zeng and Lao Bai, and I'd also like to make friends with this young friend Huan. Why don't we arrange a time to have dinner together? I believe young friend Huan and I have a lot in common."

Everything went well. Director Sun really hopes to develop a close friendship with Mr. Huan, regardless of age difference. It would be even better if they could leave behind a good story like the scholar from the mother planet.

Huan Xu didn't know that there was a middle-aged man who wanted to develop an "unusual" relationship with him. After receiving the news from Professor Gu, Huan Xu arranged a meeting time with the other party.

Three days later, the hovercraft slowly drove towards the hotel that had been booked in advance. Gu Mingrui accompanied them as a "middleman". In the hovercraft, Huan Xu looked at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window and felt a little curious. He wondered what the personalities of the three professors he would meet later were.

However, no matter what the other person's temper is, as long as everyone likes Blue Star culture, they are all like-minded.

Half an hour later, the hovercraft stopped outside the Old Kitchen Restaurant selected by the other party.

Gu Mingrui and Huan Xu arrived twenty minutes early, but unexpectedly, when they entered the private room, there were already two people sitting there.

Seeing Gu Mingrui and Huan Xu arriving, Director Sun, as another middleman, stood up and shook hands enthusiastically with Gu Mingrui and Huan Xu respectively.

"I had the honor of meeting Professor Gu at a previous exchange meeting. I'm really happy to officially meet you today."

"This must be your son, right? Hahaha, he's truly a talented director who could film Untitled. Not only is he incredibly talented, he's also incredibly handsome!"

"Look at me, I almost forgot to introduce myself. I'm Sun Luoyang, the president of the Poetry Research Association. This is my good friend, Lao Bai, Bai Hua, who's also a freelance arranger. Lao Zeng will be here soon."

Director Sun was too enthusiastic and Huan Xu was a little unprepared. Fortunately, he quickly adjusted his expression and his smile became more genuine. Especially the names of Director Sun and Professor Bai made Huan Xu feel a "familiarity" of returning to Blue Star.

Huan Xu smiled and said, "Teacher Sun, Teacher Bai, it's an honor to meet you two. Your names are beautiful and kind."

Director Sun and Professor Bai exchanged a glance, and Professor Bai tentatively said, "We all changed our names based on our own wishes, and they all have some origins."

Huan Xu quickly waved his hand modestly, "I'm not really Director Huan. Just call me by my name, Teacher. As for the two teachers' names, if I'm not mistaken, Teacher Sun's name should be from the ancient capital of Luoyang, which appears in many famous poems and essays during the era of our home planet."

"Teacher Bai, your name is one of the six sheng poems in the extant poetry of the home planet, the Book of Songs, and the chapter 'Bai Hua' is one of them."

Director Sun excitedly patted Professor Bai on the shoulder and said, "I told you, Xiao Xu definitely understands me!"

Director Sun then smiled and explained to Gu Mingrui and Huan Xu, "Xiao Xu is right. During our university years, we hadn't yet fully entered the cultural circle of our home planet. The name was finally decided after the three of us roommates spent a week studying literature late into the night."

"After all these years, Xiao Xu is the only one who can immediately tell the origins of our three names."

"Happy, really happy."

"That's right." Director Sun smiled and said, "Old Zeng's name is Zeng Feng. Now that you know the origin of Lao Bai, you will be familiar with Lao Zeng's name, Xiao Xu. After all, their names were both picked out from the Book of Songs."

Meeting the two expectant gazes, Huan Xu lived up to expectations and spoke again: "Feng, Ya, Song."

When Zeng Feng entered the box, he happened to hear Huan Xu's words. Director Sun introduced the two to each other and praised Huan Xu's knowledge to Old Zeng. Now, Zeng Feng had a better impression of Huan Xu.

After the meal, since everyone had the same interests, they had a very pleasant chat. Gu Mingrui looked at Huan Xu who was talking so eloquently, and the old father felt very pleased again and took a big gulp of wine.

Xiao Xu has really grown up, and he can now give an explanation to Manman.

Even in the interstellar world, the drinking culture still prevails. Because of the previous favorability bonus, when Huan Xu asked Bai Hua and Zeng Feng to help compose music, the two agreed without hesitation.

Zeng Feng said generously, "Lao Bai and I haven't worked together for a long time, but this is still so meaningful and unique. Xiao Xu, if you are willing to trust us, we will work hard to complete the task."

Bai Hua nodded and said, "We won't accept orders from others. Let's go back and retreat. The discussion with everyone just now, especially the points raised by Xiao Xu, has given me a lot of new inspiration!"

As he spoke, Bai Hua kept recording on the computer, fearing that he would forget if he returned too late.

Bai Hua and Zeng Feng are not like Director Sun and former Professor Gu, who have money and free time to devote themselves wholeheartedly to their beloved careers. Although they are members of the Institute of Ancient Research, they both have their own duties -

They are both arrangers and lyrics writers of modern pop music, and both are well-known veteran creators in the circle.

It's not like they hadn't thought about connecting their job with their passion before, but the culture of their home planet was too unpopular, and the two of them were helpless. In the end, they could only regretfully entertain themselves in private.

Huan Xu had also heard the demos the two had produced privately for entertainment. Due to their lack of knowledge about Blue Star and relying solely on their imagination, they lacked the experience of being there, so both their strengths and weaknesses were obvious.

Huan Xu is not proficient in music, but he has stories. After listening to the content of the new drama that Huan Xu wants to shoot, it can be seen from the slightly red eyes of the four middle-aged men in the private room that they are all moved by the story.

Huan Xu also recommended some famous poems to the two teachers for reference.

He believes that after this empathy, Mr. Zeng and Mr. Bai, who both possess professional abilities and a passion for Blue Star, can work together to produce a work that satisfies both parties.

Bai Hua and Zeng Feng were anxious to go back and turn their inspiration into musical notes and words. Director Sun knew his old friends' personalities and naturally wouldn't waste their time. The meal ended like this, and Director Sun congratulated them in advance:

"After that, apart from poetry and literature, I can't help you with anything else. Hahahaha, Lao Bai, stop glaring at me. I know. I won't bother you with any more nonsense. Last sentence, I wish your new work a big hit in advance, Xiao Xu."

Zeng Feng bluntly instructed Director Sun: "Go back and sort out all the poems that can be used and send them to us. The more the better."

Huan Xu smiled and said, "I hope we can show more people the profound charm of our home planet's culture."

The two groups separated in the hotel lobby. Professor Gu wanted to go to the bathroom, and Huan Xu was about to make way for him in the middle of the corridor, but he was stopped before he could move.

"Director Huan?" The girl's cautious voice sounded from behind: "Excuse me, are you Director Huan?"

The author has something to say:

I'm afraid some of you don't know, so I'd like to tell you this: Wenwen will publish the new chapters in the draft box at midnight every day, but because our A Jin is older, there will usually be a few minutes of delay or freeze. Those who want to follow the new chapters can wait a few minutes and the new chapter will be available. I saw some comments that some of you didn't see the new chapter on time. Maomao apologizes to everyone here, thank you for your love, and here's a flower jpg.
