Almighty Director Rises to Riches and Divinity

Genius director Huan Xu transmigrates to an interstellar era, becoming a fallen noble facing family ruin, impending bankruptcy, and massive debts. To save his crumbling company, Huan Xu decides to ret...

Chapter 157

At the same time as Huan Xu's "Honghuang" premiered, Director An's documentary was also released on all platforms through Fenghuo. The name of the film also has only two words - "Gao Tian".

Some time ago, Yan Ze took on the responsibility of decorating their small home. All kinds of decoration materials used by StarCraft are pollution-free and healthy materials. Therefore, basically, the owner can move in directly after the house is decorated.

The day before Jun Tianxing's return, Yan Dawei Wolf, under the unfriendly gaze of his little brother Gu, carried Huan Dao back to the nest he had carefully built for his partner.

Both Yan Ze and Huan Xu, as professionals in the industry, believe that a must-have at home is a private home theater with 360-degree surround sound and the most advanced technology.

At this moment, Huan Xu was wearing pajamas and slippers, his body completely sunk into the high-tech chair that conformed to ergonomics and provided the most comfortable viewing experience for viewers. He yawned like a big cat from time to time.

Although Huan Xu was sitting in a Ge You-like slouching posture, which was not very presentable, he was still a beauty in the eyes of his lover. In the eyes of Xiaoyan, who was standing beside him, this look was still very good.

But thinking about why Huan Xu was so listless right now, Yan Ze pursed his lips slightly, feeling a little guilty. It was all his fault for forgetting to control himself yesterday...

Huan Xu turned his head and saw Yan Ze's face, which was full of "regret" and "loss". If he had a big tail behind him, it would be hanging as low as possible at this moment. After a pause and changing his mind, Huan Xu guessed what was going on in Yan Ze's mind.

Although I am very tired now, but...

Huan Xu waved to Yan Ze, and sure enough, Yan Ze came over immediately, looking even more like Dahei.

"puff."

Yan Ze didn't know why Huan Xu suddenly laughed, but he still asked attentively: "Juice or food?"

"If you don't want to drink or eat, come over here and order more." Huan Xu continued to wave.

Yan Ze leaned forward again upon hearing this. Huan Xu raised his hand and lifted Yan Ze's chin teasingly. Under Yan Ze's slightly surprised but unavoidable gaze, Huan Xu raised the end of his voice and laughed frivolously, "Why are you blushing again?"

Yan Ze's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he opened his mouth to meet Huan Xu's smiling gaze, but he didn't know what to say. His Adam's apple rolled slightly.

Huan Xu's fingers traced Yan Ze's well-defined jawline, then extended along his neck to the roots of Yan Ze's hair. He smiled softly and said, "If you didn't stop me, I'd acquiesce. You're not allowed to think about this kind of thing alone in the future. Do you understand?"

Yan Ze's eyes widened slightly, but when he met Huan Xu's smiling gaze, he finally nodded slightly with a red face.

Huan Xu used his fingers to rub Yan Ze's head twice, neither too hard nor too soft, and then he pushed Yan Ze away, who was letting him fiddle with him, and reminded him, "Uncle An's movie is about to start."

While other viewers were still debating whether to watch Huan Xu's or An Xi's work first, they didn't know that the real host was already waiting in front of the screen, just like An Xi was also in front of the screen at this moment, with a smile on his face, ready to enjoy the enjoyment that "Hong Huang" brought him.

Huan Xu, like other audiences, then enjoyed the best visual experience brought to them by the interstellar top director.

In terms of topic selection, the themes chosen by Anxi and Huanxu have some similarities and differences.

"Honghuang" originated from the mythological stories passed down for thousands of years in Daxia. It was created by the ancestors' thinking and exploration of nature, combined with their imagination.

"High Sky" and "Great Wilderness" have the same purpose in that they both involve imagination, which is hidden in the genes of the human race, the imagination and pursuit of the high sky, the starry sky, and the vast universe.

The difference between "High Sky" and "Great Wilderness" is that Huan Xu slowly narrates the magnificent history buried by time, from imagination to reality, in a downstream way.

In the process of explaining "High Sky", Director An took a different approach and took people back from the present to the past in a counterclockwise manner.

The name of the first scene of the first episode of "High Sky" is - Universe.

It starts with the most cutting-edge technology of the Nine Heavens and the results of the exploration of the entire galaxy universe at this moment.

Then the story continues one episode at a time.

Humans designed the Dawn Fleet to take all humans away, and the entire group migrated and settled in the Ninth Heaven.

After conquering the sky, humans began to yearn for the world beyond the celestial body. For the first time, human footprints were left on the bright moon that had been pursuing the blue planet. This was the first manned flight and the first successful launch of a probe.

To the inventors, the Wright brothers, who created the airplane that allowed humans to fly in the sky like birds.

Even earlier, ancient people looked up at the stars and imagined the scenery above the sky...

It is in the same series format, and all episodes are released.

Huan Xu, Yan Ze and all the audiences who watched "High Sky" together, under the guidance of Director An, listened to him tell the beautiful story of mankind's successful dream again in reverse order.

In "High Sky", Director An once again demonstrated his solid filming skills and enchanting imagination to all the audiences.

Many people can tell stories, but the difficulty lies in how to narrate a boring story vividly.

Obviously, Director An did it.

Huan Xu couldn't help but sigh: "Uncle An is indeed very smart!" He also learned a lot of new things and benefited a lot from the handling of many details in the film.

For many people, documentaries related to "sleep aid" have been transformed by Director An's thinking and hands. After watching them, people have learned a lot of knowledge and improved themselves. Instead of feeling sleepy, they feel energetic and want to continue.

Unlike Huan Xu's "Hong Huang" and the previous "Hello, Starman", which inexplicably ignited the audience's enthusiasm and made people excited.

If we use food as an analogy, Director Huan’s documentary is more like Maoxuewang. After eating it, you will feel so refreshed that you will be sweating all over and feel refreshed all over.

Although Director An's documentary is not spicy enough, its plainness is also real.

As for which one is better, it all depends on individual tastes.

But since it is a competition, there must be a winner. Fortunately, the base of interstellar audiences is large enough. As for the rest, let the audience judge for themselves.

Huan Xu was ready to rest early. An Xi, who had been up all this time, stretched out his arms and said, "Finally, I can have a good sleep."

The two parties involved were relaxed, but they put pressure on the interstellar audience.

This is a more difficult decision than choosing which director's film to watch first. Both directors are their best and most favorite star directors, but they have limited tickets and cannot tear the ticket in half for each of them. So, they have to make a choice.

There is only the favorite, not all.

[It's too difficult, even harder than when I took the college entrance exam. How could it be so difficult?]

[It is harder than climbing to the sky.]

My ancestors have fulfilled their dreams and soared into the sky, but I'm about to crash. What should I do? Both films, with different styles, are my favorites. Both are directors of their time who are just one small golden cup away from a grand slam. When I think about the ticket in my hand that may determine who will eventually ascend to the throne, my hair is falling out, my legs are shaking, and I'm pacing back and forth. I'm so anxious.

"Yeah, why can't the two directors ascend the throne together? What's wrong with a dual kingship? I can do it. I'm willing to do it."

"Ahhh, if I had known you two were this capable, even if it meant death, I would have asked the official boss to postpone it, at least to merge it next year, so that everything would be perfect."

[…Wait, so, no one thinks there’s something wrong? ]

What aspects do you mean?

[That is, I suddenly realized that the production team didn't want the two directors to have any regrets, and they trusted them more than we did from the beginning.]

Finally, some viewers discovered the key to the problem.

【ah! 】

I think I've finally come to my senses...

[What is it? Stop being a riddle, it's driving me crazy!]

[That is to say - is there a possibility that at our awards ceremony, there are actually two grand prizes.]

If everyone gets a small gold cup, the problem will be solved perfectly.

After his prompt, the audience finally remembered: […?!]

"I just want to know why I didn't think of this before? Why does it have to be a winner? I'm stuck in a strange logical loop."

The most outrageous thing is, it seems like all of us have been led astray. Who is misleading me? Please don't let me catch you. I've been struggling with this for so long. This is too much.

[Ahem, just to be quiet, not everyone has thought of this. I have thought about this question before. The reason I didn’t say it out loud is certainly not to make you laugh ()]

[Okay, I get it. You're just watching a joke, right? Gnashing your teeth.]

Unless you can come up with a legitimate reason, you might be about to get cyborg-bashed, and I'm not kidding.

【Don't fight, listen to me first. 】

In order to prove that he was not just trying to be funny with bad intentions, this netizen also posted a short essay under his blog to explain the reasons from all aspects.

Get rich this year: Although there are two awards, as it is the last stop of the last session, there must be many directors who want to give it a try. The specific calculation method of star directors after the merger has not been announced yet. Those who are one stop away, as well as many local platinum directors of Juntianxing, are also due to the uncertainty after the merger. If they can win the award this time, it would definitely be better to do it sooner rather than later.

If you think about it carefully, with so many people competing for two awards, I mean, if either Director An or Director Huan performs poorly, they will miss the Grand Slam, so everyone's previous nervousness was not in vain.

Like everyone else, before I saw the films of the two directors, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep for many days, fearing that something unexpected would happen. Fortunately, the two directors gave me confidence again with their strength and works.

There is a 90% chance that two history-making kings will emerge in our Nine Heavens this year.

As for the remaining 10%, we will have to wait for the works of other directors to be released.

After all, it's become a tradition for Director Huan to release a new drama on his comeback day. Countless lessons learned through hard work mean even the most stubborn directors will avoid this day. The traffic will all be sucked away by that company, so wouldn't they be torturing themselves by releasing their work on this day? And this time, there's also An Shen, a director who's on par with Director Huan. It's a fight between the big guys, so retreat quickly!

As a result, not long after the short essay was published, the viewer was surprised to find that other entertainment companies and directors who he predicted had the ability to pose a threat to the two directors had released their latest developments.

It was indeed a promotion for the new drama, but this official announcement was a little different from what he had imagined.

This year's sudden wealth shifted its focus from the official announcement to the release date. Wait, if I remember correctly, it was after Juntian Carnival Night?!

Anyone who understands what this means will understand.

Director Wei, who won four gold cups at Yantianxing, withdrew from the competition for the small gold cup.

This is just the beginning. Under the stunned gaze of the rich this year, as Director Wei’s news was released, it was like a dam was opened, and new news of attention popped up one after another.

Alexia, the famous director with three gold cups on Cangtian Star, Yu Jiachuan, the famous director with four gold cups on Youtian Star, Zhou Beerus, the famous director with two gold cups on Yangtian Star, and Cui Haojie, the veteran documentary director striving for the final award on Juntian Star...

This year, the rich man couldn't help but murmur: "What's going on?"

In fact, it is very simple. The previous analysis of getting rich this year is not wrong. This is the last battle of the old era, and many directors want to take a chance. Maybe the hover car will become a starship.

So why give up now?

The Grand Slam is a regret in the history of Jiutian. It is not only a matter for the two directors themselves, but also a major event for all the people in the interstellar. The other directors cannot reach this height and cannot achieve it on their own, but if Huan Xu and An Xi can really succeed, it can be regarded as a dream come true for them.

The reason why they announced their withdrawal from the competition for the Gold Cup after watching the works of the two directors was definitely because they had personally confirmed that both directors had performed exceptionally well and produced the best works. Even if their works were also carefully created and they thought they were the best, they couldn't win, so there was nothing wrong with withdrawing directly.

The second is not to cause trouble for the two directors. At this moment when everyone is united, don't let these little Karamis split the precious votes. Everyone's votes are concentrated on the two directors, and use the most beautiful number to draw the most perfect ending for this era.

It also makes the final competition between the two more fair and just. Although the probability is extremely small, it avoids the problem of two directors competing for the same award due to the imbalance of votes, resulting in the other big award being picked up by them who are not worthy of it.

Of course, the competition is still going on. Even if the audience is satisfied with the arrival of the two kings, even if they are fighting for the second place, the other directors are very clear that for the two top kings, even a close contest must determine the winner.

Both of them chose to compete with one work. So, whoever has the most votes and wins the Best Picture Award, the highest honor for a single film, will be the winner. As for the other one, unfortunately, he can only get the small golden cup for Best Director.

It’s not that the Best Director Award is inferior to the Best Picture Award, but the special nature of this awards ceremony itself requires the two awards to be temporarily ranked in order.

All that remains is to cast their own votes and become one of the participants in this grand event as an audience.

This year, the wealthy man finally came to his senses and murmured softly with a complicated expression, "Isn't this just the dream of these two directors? This is the dream of everyone in our entire galaxy."

"My middle school soul is about to burn again." The corners of his lips slightly raised as he became rich this year. He logged into Xingbo again and posted a new update following his previous short essay.

"No surprises, the two directors have a 100% chance of winning. This is where the dream begins!"

There was no need for an explanation for their sudden wealth this time, and the rest of the audience suddenly understood something when the directors announced their withdrawal from the center of the battlefield to make way for the two kings to ascend the throne.

They all forwarded the message: "Countdown to the dream come true..."

After countless people's anticipation, this day has finally arrived.

After a month of fierce competition, the final votes for "Honghuang" and "Gaotian" will be officially announced tonight.

Before leaving that morning, Huan Xu helped Yan Ze adjust his tie one last time and joked, "Well, the voting channel is closed, and the results are in. There's no point getting nervous now. Besides, no matter who gets more votes, Uncle An or me, it's a win-win for us, Xiao Yan."

Without waiting for Yan Ze to say anything, Huan Xu continued, "I wasn't that nervous to begin with. If this continues, you'll make me anxious until the very last moment."

Huan Xu was also a little amused and helpless. Who would have thought that before anything happened to him, Xiao Yan would be so nervous that she tossed and turned for several days and couldn't sleep or eat well. She looked a little haggard. But this guy was particularly good at pretending and enduring in order not to affect his mentality, making Huan Xu feel confused about whether to expose her or not.

Finally, the day of the award ceremony arrived. I saw that Yan Shuaishuai made more than one mistake that morning. Not only did he forget to add salt to the loving breakfast he made, but his socks were almost not a pair, he almost mistook toothpaste for facial cleanser, and his tie was tied crookedly... If it weren't for Huan Xu's reminder, Xiaoyan might have embarrassed himself in front of the entire interstellar audience today.

Meeting Huan Xu's gaze, Yan Ze pursed his lips, stepped forward and gave Huan Xu a hug. A deep voice echoed in Huan Xu's ears, "I found a new restaurant. Let's go eat together after the awards ceremony."

Yan Ze didn't say anything else, because, in his heart, no matter who got more votes in the end, Huan Xu was the best. He had been very hard during this period, so he needed to be rewarded with delicious food.

Huan Xu originally thought that Yan Ze was going to say something to encourage him or to comfort him in advance that it was okay to lose, but unexpectedly, what he heard was the "promises and rewards" after the award ceremony.

Xiaoyan is always really considerate to him, whether in life or in some other aspects...

Thinking of those late nights when Yan Ze, in his low, hoarse voice filled with forbearance, repeatedly asked him about his feelings before deciding on the next step, Huan Xu's fingers couldn't help but move. He habitually wanted to gently grasp Yan Ze's hair, but when he remembered that this was the hairstyle he had worked so hard to help him do, he stopped in time.

It turned around and finally landed on Yan Ze's warm and broad palm. Huan Xu gently hooked Yan Ze's palm with his fingers. Yan Ze gave him a promise and reward, and he was also prepared to give Yan Ze the same feedback.

The two love each other, their lives are harmonious in some aspects, and the probation period is about to end.

Yan Ze's pupils shrank rapidly as Huan Xu whispered an incredibly sweet promise into his ear: "After the awards ceremony, let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and give our handsome CEO a title."

The suspended camera was launched into the air, and countless live broadcast rooms of all sizes were opened. The award ceremony hall of Juntian Star was in the same style as the entire star, rigorous and serious. However, at this moment, the solemn atmosphere had long been permeated with liveliness, and even the most conservative people would show their joy when encountering happy events.

The red carpet winds out from the entrance of the tall building, as if it has formed a brilliant galaxy, leading every guest who enters here into the hall of glory.

Obviously, the Juntianxing Carnival Night was also deliberately arranged, knowing what the audience is most concerned about.

So, open the screen and hit critically.

As one hovercar after another with familiar logos landed, the Carnival Night had just begun, and the emotions of the audience in countless live broadcast rooms were already at their highest point.

There is no other reason. The first company to appear at the opening of Juntian Carnival is Xinghuo Entertainment. With the appearance of Xinghuo boy and girl groups, the live broadcast room has been completely flooded with barrages of "Ahhh".

This time, the outfits of the Xinghuo artists were very simple. This was the first time that they requested a look themselves instead of Director Huan creating it for them. The makeup and styling of the male artists led by Qin Dongxiao and the female artists led by Wu Qianying could even be said to be a bit monotonous. They all wore suits, or to be more precise, swallowtail butler suits.

The look of a single person is ordinary, but when they all walk onto the red carpet together, with their coordinated steps, the atmosphere instantly changes.

There is only one reason for choosing such a makeup look. Tonight, the most eye-catching person is none other than their Director Huan, and all the people of Xinghuo are willing to serve as Director Huan's foil, and are also Director Huan's most loyal and eternal followers.

[I get what Lao Qin and Sister Wu are thinking!]

[Director Huan, please accept our knees and loyalty.]

【The Huan family will always follow Master Huan.】

"Hmph, if you don't come back with first place, how can you face us, the fans?"

[Everyone, please step aside immediately. I, Huanhuan, am about to come out.]

As the car door opened, Huan Xu once again stood alone on the red carpet. As he took steady steps, countless live broadcast rooms were filled with the following words:

【Welcome the God Huan back to his throne! 】

Yes, it was a return to his position, not an ascension to the throne, as if that position had always belonged to him.

Even though the awards haven't been officially presented yet, everyone knows the result of tonight. No surprises there. Only these two are worthy of the throne that no one has ever occupied!

One after another, hovercrafts descended from the sky, and actors dressed in fancy clothes and directors with either smiling or solemn expressions stepped into them.

As familiar faces or new faces attending the awards ceremony for the first time passed by with a hint of nervousness on their faces, time passed by and all the guests arrived, except for the other protagonist of the night.

When the hovercraft representing Fenghuo appeared in the field of vision, the barrage area of ​​the live broadcast room boiled over again.

【An Shen has also arrived.】

【Witness the miracle, go for it, Grand Slam! 】

As the two protagonists entered the venue, the door of the Golden Awards Hall opened and closed. Under the witness of countless audiences on site and in the live broadcast room, the final award ceremony finally arrived.
