Chapter 153
Compared to the audience who are unaware of the truth, people inside Xinghuo certainly know that Director Huan’s films are indeed shot and produced on the spot and are absolutely fresh.
Everyone's original idea was similar to the audience's. The success of Eden would save Director Huan a lot of time to prepare the film for the last stop. As a result, they soon heard that Director Huan was going to shoot a new film.
The new film is still Zhu Tian's disaster film. Just when everyone changed their minds and thought that Director Huan's approach was safer, new news came out that this disaster film is a film about the escape period from the mother planet with no novelty at all. Everyone became uneasy.
I really don’t understand and can’t figure it out.
From Uncle Wang, to Manager Ye, to Director Zheng, Director Chen... all the Xinghuo people who were concerned about Director Huan came to his house one by one, asking questions subtly and giving subtle reminders. Director Huan didn't realize the seriousness of the problem after just one or two people, but when more people met him, Huan Xu finally realized it belatedly.
Then, feeling a bit amused and helpless, Huan Xu took the initiative to find Uncle Wang in order not to worry the elders who were all in their fifties and sixties. He decided to tell him some of the details and then Uncle Wang would help convey to others: Thank you all for your concern, everything is under control.
Uncle Wang, who was sitting across from Huan Xu, was still a little incredulous. "Wait, let me sort this out. So you really do have some manuscripts saved."
Huan Xu: "Ahem."
Uncle Wang: "...I'm getting excited. Correction, let me repeat. Xiaoxu, you already prepared the draft for the Juntian documentary, and it was the kind with the biggest special effects scenes. The special effects for Seeking Immortals were just a trial run for you, and with our company's system being fully upgraded, you're finally ready to start filming, and use 'Honghuang' to aim for the final Little Gold Cup. Is that correct?"
Huan Xu smiled and nodded: "That's right."
Uncle Wang's face was filled with relief and satisfaction. He leaned back on the sofa and continued speaking with a hint of complexity:
"Zhu Tianxin's second disaster film is a sure thing. Everyone thought it was going nowhere, but you still managed to innovate... Come on, we were worrying too much."
Huan Xu: "I'm not worrying about nothing. I know everyone cares about me."
Uncle Wang smiled, then leaned closer to Huan Xu again, lowering his voice somewhat sheepishly and saying, "Well, Xiao Xu, look, there's no one else here, just us uncle and nephew. How about you give me a little spoiler?"
After finishing the business and confirming that Huan Xu had his own ideas and plans and that they didn't need to worry about him, Mr. Wang felt relieved. At the same time, he began to be curious about how the film about Huan Xu's escape from his home planet could be innovative in its plot.
Huan Xu wasn't fooled by Uncle Wang's sweet talk. He held up his index finger in front of him, winked at Uncle Wang, and decided to keep it a secret. "Leave it a little suspense. It'll make the movie more interesting, won't it?"
Uncle Wang came to the same conclusion as the audience at this moment: Director Huan is bad!
On the other side, in the director's office of Fenghuo 1, Anxi also heard about the announcement released by Xinghuo that Huan Xu was preparing for the second disaster film on the theme of the mother planet.
Director An, who had been clocking in for work for a month, suddenly put down the pen in his hand, leaned back on the chair under the puzzled gaze of his old friend, and then crossed his hands naturally above his body, his eyes blank.
Minister of the First Department: ???
"What's going on? Have you finished writing the script?"
Director An did not answer but directed his old friend: "Lao Mo, play me a song."
A minister put down the script he had just picked up. It was obvious that Director An had not yet made up his mind. There were many regulations listed in the script, but someone had marked a big x with a red pen on them, indicating that these were abandoned.
A department head walked to the sound station nearby and worked tirelessly as a tool for a certain boss: "What style should I listen to? Lyrical music to continue looking for inspiration, or pure music to clear my mind."
"Neither."
"I understand. That's the war song that unleashes rage and begins to destroy everything in its path."
Minister Mo had just pulled out his private playlist of war songs when a certain boss weakly began to command again: "Give me the Red and White theme song."
Minister Mo: "What? Say it again?" He suspected he had heard it wrong.
Director An: "You heard me right, let's go for the pure suona version, the one that goes straight to the top of my head!"
Minister Mo: “…”
Minister Mo: "Old An, isn't this too exciting?" Didn't I hear the audience's evaluation of the magical rogue, ah no, the quintessence of Chinese musical instruments, when the suona sounds, the parents' raising of it is in vain, it really doesn't match the documentary version.
Anxi continued to maintain his out-of-body state: "Don't call me Lao An, call me by my name."
Minister Mo now seriously suspected that Director An was under too much pressure: "There's still enough time, Anxi, why don't we take a good rest for two days before continuing? You're like this... It's scary."
Director An suddenly stood up from his seat, raised his hand and snapped his fingers: "This is it."
Minister Mo: “Which one?”
Director An sighed meaningfully and said, "I think the most important thing I should do now is to change my name."
Minister Mo obviously couldn't keep up with Director An's rapid thoughts. Fortunately, An Xi sighed again and asked jokingly, "An Xi, rest in peace, Old Mo. I died a miserable death."
Minister Mo: "...Pfft, could you please say something auspicious?"
"Hahaha, just kidding."
Minister Mo: ...
Before Minister Mo could say anything else, Director An's eyes lit up again, and the light in them was brighter than ever before. Director An said excitedly:
"Young people are working so hard, I can't be too far behind. Uncle still has to save face. Even if it's a whetstone, it has to sharpen the knife, right?"
The pen turned flexibly in Director An's hand, and Director An threw himself back into the planning with full enthusiasm. The tip of the pen fell on the paper, making a rustling sound. As one of the most outstanding directors of this era, Director An is also the type of person who becomes more motivated the greater the pressure.
At this moment, Huan Xu in front of him was no longer a young junior who needed to be taken care of and supported, but——
He has met a worthy opponent, a formidable one who requires him to fight with all his strength.
Director An's eyes sparkled, and inspiration surged like a spring. While writing, he even instructed his assistant, "Lao Mo, where's my suona music?"
"——" The sour and refreshing sound of suona that could split rocks and pierce the clouds exploded in his ears. Minister Mo suddenly realized something, but for some reason, looking at Anxi's fully engaged and glowing state, he seemed to have become ten years younger and returned to the past when Anxi was striving to become the star guide and creating glory.
I have endless energy in my body. As Anxi's deputy, all I do every day is writing, shooting, shooting, shooting. Anxi is responsible for moving forward, and he is fully responsible for all logistics. What is health preservation? Can you eat it?
How long has it been since you stayed up late? No matter what, the later you stay up, the healthier you are.
Uncles, you have dreams too.
Since you want to go crazy, let’s go crazy with two crazy guys, one big and one small, for the last time, and get the whole world excited together!
While Director An was working at full speed to prepare the script and was busy with casting and filming, Huan Xu had finished filming his second disaster film and it was officially scheduled to be released soon.

@Xinghuo Entertainment Huanxu @Actor Baiyi @Actor Linyi @Actor…
We will eventually cross the storm and ignite the dawn: movie link]
The poster shows a scene of a water-blue sphere, familiar yet unfamiliar to the audience, drifting alone among the stars in the universe. Blue and white lines are intertwined with each other, and the water-blue "gauze" gently wraps it. This is the mother planet of mankind - the water-blue planet.
The one-sentence introduction only has three words: Goodbye.
At the beginning of the film, what comes into view is the endless pouring rain. There are dozens of long queues in the empty square. However, the crowd that should have been bustling is now silent.
The male protagonist Tian Feng, played by Bai Yi, is also a member of the team. When it is his turn, he takes out a card and swipes it lightly on the machine in front of him, and a white bag falls from the delivery port next to him.
The bag contained food, which was still steaming hot.
Tian Feng picked up the bag, walked through the dense but orderly crowd, and returned to his home in the underground city.
[Wow, Director Huan's film this time is really about the history of escaping from the mother planet.]
According to research, the underground city depicted in Director Huan's film also has a historical basis. At that time, the surface was no longer suitable for building large houses, so people moved underground. Although the conditions were somewhat dilapidated, they were stable and safe.
Soon, the film used the news to further confirm some of the speculations in the barrage.
"A volcano has recently erupted in Country X. Residents there are advised to protect their own safety."
"Recent heavy rainfall has caused floods in many places."
"Strong earthquakes have occurred in many places. Residents are advised to stay in safe houses as much as possible and avoid going out."
As the condition of the sun becomes increasingly unstable, the blue planet is also severely affected. Various natural disasters continue to occur, and a large number of tragedies occur every day.
[It's confirmed. It was undoubtedly the period of the mass exodus from our home planet. At that time, the solar system was no longer habitable, and disasters were constantly occurring everywhere. That's when our ancestors devised a plan to build an ark and escape from the Blue Planet.]
Although I've seen countless films on this subject, I'm still looking forward to how Director Huan handles the final escape scene.
[Every time I watch this, tears well up in my eyes. People built countless arks, relying on countless predecessors who blazed the trail, and finally reached the Ninth Heaven safely to settle down. I pay tribute to our ancestors!]
[Don't cry yet, everyone above. Our show is called Wandering on the Blue Star, but I have a feeling it might be a little different from what we imagined.]
[What you said seems to make sense. Let's take a closer look.]
After having dinner with his wife, Tian Feng set off to work. As the rocking car slowly moved forward, the interstellar audience could finally see what the giant building that was vaguely visible in the rain was.
A huge planetary engine similar to a jet device appeared in front of the audience. From the mechanical reactor to the plasma nozzle, it showed a strong technological power, which was completely different from the design of the safe house.
After arriving at his destination, Tian Feng took the elevator to his workplace, which is the top nozzle of the engine and the most important part of the entire device.
In the conversation with the workers, the audience learned about the role of these engines, and then a huge and amazing plan slowly unfolded -
There are more than ten thousand such giant engines on the surface!
All aspects of people's lives were compressed to the minimum, and all countries devoted all their manpower and material resources to fully supply the newly built power facilities.
Use the thrust generated by these engines to move the mother planet!
The audience also understood what the official promotional introduction of this film meant and why the film was called Wandering Blue Planet. The humans in the film not only had to escape, but also had to escape with their home planet!
It turns out that scientists predict that the sun will soon explode violently, and the aftermath will affect the entire solar system.
The last way for mankind to survive is to escape from here and migrate to the stars. The destination of this journey is the Ninth Heaven where people live today, a galaxy with various materials and environments that are most suitable for human settlement.
Unlike what happened in the history of the Nine Heavens, humans in the film did not choose to build an ark, but chose to escape with the Blue Star. The planetary engine is a propeller. After rigorous calculations by countless scientists, the thrust generated by countless engines is enough to drive the Blue Star to the Nine Heavens.
A huge and absurd plan was placed before the audience, but the first thing they thought about was not to doubt the feasibility of the plan, but to be speechlessly shocked. This was an angle that no one had ever imagined.
It turns out... can you escape with your home planet?
Something in my heart was touched. If the journey of human beings migrating to the Ninth Heaven is a classic, successful and inspirational history of escape, then how can the mother planet that was left behind and gave birth to human beings and countless civilizations not be considered cruelly abandoned by human beings?
[…Can it really succeed? ]
Regardless of success or failure, the very idea of escaping with Blue Star is romantic and epic enough. For some reason, the moment I heard this idea, my eyes welled up!
As a child who abandoned his "mother" and fled on his own, I suddenly had so many things to say but didn't know how to express them. It's like I didn't expect Director Huan to come up with something "new" in a disaster film about escaping from his home planet. I smile wryly.
[Director Huan really loves his home planet so much that he even wants to take Blue Star with him when he escapes.]
[That's why Director Huan was able to devote himself to studying the culture of his home planet for several years, and the finished product he filmed was so stunning.]
【Talent, hard work, and interest have all contributed to the creation of Huanshen! 】
Before the audience could finish their sigh, something unexpected happened in the film. The ground shook violently, many cliffs swayed, huge rocks rolled down, and the open space in the distance cracked, forming huge gullies, and the people on top of the engine became victims.
In an instant, two workers were thrown out by the violent shaking caused by the huge vibration.
Fortunately, Tian Feng and a co-worker were quick-witted and grabbed the two people who were thrown away. The safety lock on the other side was stretched straight, preventing the tragedy from spreading further.
The earthquake finally subsided, but it was not only the workers who were affected. The planetary engine got stuck during standby operation.
However, this is not the only bad news. Today is also the day for engine test runs for the blue planet. Most engines need to be ignited to spray high-speed plasma streams in the opposite direction of the earth's rotation, and cooperate with the equatorial steering engine to gradually stop the earth's rotation.
However, if the shutdown plan is shelved because of this earthquake, it is unknown when the next planned launch will take place. After all, ignition not only requires consideration of the movement state of the blue planet, but also its relative position with the moon and the sun, and it is necessary to find the most suitable position.
Faced with the possibility of the plan being shelved, Tian Feng gritted his teeth and clenched his fist towards his comrades who had fought side by side with him: "Success or failure depends on this one move, Xiu!"
From the countless workers working one after another, to the operation of countless medium-sized machines and armored vehicles, to the microscopic lens, the rotation of each gear, the collision of each particle and the burst of sparks...
The machines in the play are also quite distinctive. Whether it is the giant land crane or the heavy truck that looks bulky but is actually flexible, they all play an important role in the emergency repair process.
There was no spectacular battle, but the silent scenes still made the audience bite their lower lips, hold their breath nervously, clench their fists and silently cheer for the staff in the film:
[It’s almost there, it’s almost there, it has to happen! ]
[In one word, handsome! ]
[Very good. The scene of a group of people rushing forward brought tears to my eyes. In the face of disaster, we should unite!]
Amid the tense anticipation of all the people in the play and all the audience outside the play, a brilliant blue flame erupted, just like a steadily moving car suddenly slamming on the brakes. The powerful inertia caused everyone on the ground to stagger two or three steps.
All the workers, sweating profusely, cheered along with the audience a moment later.
While people are feeling the huge inertia, the era in the play has entered the "braking era". Scientists estimate that this stage will last about 20 years.
The impact of the Blue Planet's slow stop was enormous. First of all, the huge waves caused by inertia brought a devastating blow to all the coastal cities of the Blue Planet.
In the play, people watched from afar and on the news as the symbols of civilization were submerged by huge waves, cities collapsed, and wonders were destroyed. This made all the audience who experienced this grand spectacle up close in "Sparks of Fire" feel heartbroken.
Especially today, many viewers have more or less experienced the splendor and beauty of the civilization left by their ancestors. Those inheritances may not be the most correct and advanced, but it is undeniable that they are indeed the most brilliant and shining.
What followed was rising temperatures, melting ice, further rising sea levels, and a reduction in the area of habitable land.
Fortunately, thanks to the completeness of the dungeon, everyone was able to safely pass through this dangerous period.
After the rotation stops completely, the blue planet will no longer have day and night. In the play, on the eve of the stop, people from all over the world came out of the underground city to watch this last sunrise.
The sun was once one of the origins of life, but now it has become the culprit for the destruction of life. However, people's inner awe of the sun will not change. After watching this last sunrise, the blue planet and mankind will enter the next stage of the plan - the escape era.
A month after the blue star stopped rotating, people all over the world observed a blue comet in the night sky.
That's our moon.
In order to avoid the Blue Planet colliding with the moon when escaping, humans also installed an engine on the moon. It was both a test and a guarantee. After ignition, the moon was successfully sent away by humans.
With the grand and heavy background music, this companionship spanning 4.6 billion years came to a grand end.
In an era where the average life expectancy is 120 years, 60-year-old Tian Feng is in his prime.
He had long since retired from the front line and became a senior technician. At this moment, he was at home with his children, pointing at the blue comet and telling them all the legends about it.
"Chang'e flies to the moon."
"The Jade Rabbit is pounding medicine."
"Wu Gang cuts down trees."
With the successful ignition of the engine on the blue planet, humans also began their journey to escape the solar system.
【Why do I feel so sad for no apparent reason? 】
[There's more than one person upstairs. In the play, the children listen to adults telling stories about the moon, just like we are listening to Director Huan telling stories about our home planet.]
This sadness stems from our reliance on and reluctance to leave our home planet, but we should indeed look forward, just like the people in the play.
[Yes, at least the mother planet still lies quietly in the galaxy. She has not been destroyed.]
【Suddenly I want to go back and take a look, what should I do? 】
[Hahaha, +1 to the above, let the scientists handle the rest.]
Even if I can't return to my home planet, I hope to have the opportunity to set foot on it again. At least I can personally present a bouquet of flowers to this great mother, thank her for her greatness, and say sorry for abandoning her in the past...
As time goes by, the Earth is about to pass by Jupiter. At this moment, something unexpected happens again. Due to the strong gravity of Jupiter, the planetary engine is damaged by 10%. In order to ensure normal navigation, some people will have to cross half the Earth to reach the back of the Earth and restart the engine under extremely harsh conditions.
At this time, Tian Feng's child Tian Yang has grown up and become a glorious technician and an important maintenance worker for restarting the engine.
Faced with this cruel mission that may be a one-way trip, none of the young people under the united flag showed any fear. Their eyes were firm and enthusiastic, just like their predecessors who risked their lives to complete the last step of the launch at the last moment.
Perhaps they will sacrifice themselves, but their sacrifice will propel humanity and their home planet to continue sailing into the depths of the universe, and their spirits will always accompany and protect their beloved home planet and compatriots until they safely arrive at their new home coordinates.
It’s not that there are no elderly people who want to take the risk of the dangerous environment for the young people, but the environment on the back of the blue planet is too bad, with high and low temperatures alternating constantly. The physical strength and endurance of the elderly are not enough to support their high-intensity work in such a cruel environment.
In order to increase the success rate of the mission and ensure everyone's safe return, the United Government selected the best of the best to participate in the rescue operation, and Tian Yang was also among those mobilized.
