Chapter 19

A photocopy of the boss's office was made, and it was shown that the boss was meeting with Huang Hao.

"Director Huang, I'm sure you've noticed the news from Xinghuo. The other side is very targeted this time. I'm afraid they're coming for you, Director Huang."

Huang Hao remained silent, waiting for the boss's next words. The boss smiled and said jokingly, "Director Huang, I think we've been implicated in this incident."

Huang Hao took off his glasses and wiped off the nonexistent dust before asking with a half-smile, "Boss, do you want to be held accountable?"

"Hahaha, Director Huang was joking. It was just a joke."

"Oh, then boss, you asked me to come here just for fun. To be honest, there are still many things to do on the crew."

"Then I'll be frank. It's actually not a big deal. I just want Director Huang to reassure me. Do you have the confidence to face the young director of Xinghuo?"

Director Huang suppressed his shame and anger and said, "Boss, do you think I'm not as good as that dandy waste Huan Xu?"

"Director Huang has misunderstood. Huan Xu isn't a big shot, but Director Huang knows best how powerful Feng Manman is. If the script is also her legacy, it might be difficult to handle. What do you think?"

"Impossible." Huang Hao immediately retorted: "If you had so many good scripts, Teacher... Feng Manman wouldn't have needed to go out and collect materials and face the storm. She would have published them long ago and used the east wind to help Xinghuo take further steps."

Huang Hao then sneered and said firmly, "I didn't expect that nerd Gu Mingrui has learned to ride on the popularity and stir up topics. It's a pity they miscalculated. The audience is not stupid. The quality of the work will speak for itself!"

"Okay, I'll wait for Director Huang to say this. That way, I can plan the next response with peace of mind."

"What the boss means is"

"It would be fine if Xinghuo developed steadily, but it's too ambitious. In that case, I might as well add fuel to the fire. The popularity of the young actors in Xinghuo has been quite good recently. It's a pity for them to stay in Xinghuo."

They were all smart people. Huang Hao immediately understood what the photocopying boss wanted to do. He was unwilling to give up because he failed in the acquisition last time. He took advantage of Xinghuo's own failure to push the other party and then took the opportunity to raise the shovel again.

Huang Hao narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled: "The boss is kind-hearted and gave those young actors a way out."

Twenty minutes later, Huang Hao left the boss's office. The boss suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Director Huang, there's one more thing."

The middle-aged man smiled greasyly and held up five fingers: "The sponsor of the female lead has invested this amount again. Director Huang should give her more scenes."

Huang Hao suppressed the curse that was about to come out of his mouth: "This won't happen again!"

"Hahaha, okay, Director Huang, thank you for your hard work."

Time flies, and soon it is the end of the month.

In this era where entertainment is paramount, many film and television works are released every day. In addition to the works of Huan Xu and Huang Hao competing with each other, a work by a veteran golden director was also released in the early morning of the same day.

Because it is a holiday, there are also large and small films showing at other time periods.

When Huan Xu woke up in the morning, there were already many reviews on StarNet about Director Huang Jin's new drama "Spiral Time and Space".

As a veteran golden director, he has performed steadily and received constant praise. His skillful use of science fiction, combat, and special effects shots, coupled with the timeless and space-time love between the male and female protagonists with be aesthetics, has received good response.

While the audience was clamoring to send razor blades to the director, they couldn't help but give him tips by putting in coins.

Director Huan also subscribed to this two-and-a-half-hour movie and invited his high school student brother, who had finally had a vacation, to watch it with him.

Xiao Gu watched the movie with Huan Xu with an indescribable expression, but only a small part of his attention was on the movie itself. Every once in a while, he couldn't help but look at Huan Xu.

Facts have proved that Huan Xu is really bold. His own work is about to be released tonight, but now he is still interested in watching other directors' works.

When Gu Chen looked at him for who knows how many times, Huan Xu reminded him: "The movie is better than me."

Although the plot follows a similar formula, Huan Xu is a "vulgar person". He puts aside his professional perspective and only watches the excitement from the audience's perspective. Compared with the traditional plot that Huan Xu's own works focus on, it is not unreasonable that special effects movies have a wide audience.

The interweaving of light and shadow, the full use of technology, and the shock of large-scale explosions bring another form of dual enjoyment of vision and spirit.

It's really stress-relieving.

Gu Chen: "Aren't you nervous?"

Huan Xu was eating popcorn: "Why are you nervous?" Chewing, chewing, chewing.

Gu Chen continued to ask sharply: "Is it because the other party is a golden director, so there is no mind to compare?"

Huan Xu gave Xiao Gu a strange look, then sipped his breath and soaked it in water. "No, it's not even the same track. How can we compare? If we want to compare, we'll wait until I make a special effects movie, right?"

Huan Xu also felt a little itchy, but as I said before, Director Huan also had a bit of a TOP cancer, so if he did, he would either not do it or do it to perfection.

The Spark system purchased by Ms. Feng Manman is good, but just good. Compared with those top film studios, it is still a little worse. After making money in the future and upgrading Xiaohuo with krypton gold, I will try to make special effects.

Gu Chen choked and had no way to refute!

In the afternoon, Huan Xu continued to enjoy his rare vacation.

In sharp contrast to Huan Xu's ease, Gu Chen and the other members of Xinghuo's crew were also in a state of constant anxiety, including but not limited to shaking legs, walking around meaninglessly, drinking water, and going to the bathroom repeatedly after drinking too much water.

This time, after the film came out, Spark’s internal employees saw the film in advance. When it comes to their feelings about the film, there are only two words to describe it: great!

However, no matter how much they think Chi Ling is pretty, they are afraid that it is just a filter used by her mother, and they will not be able to let go until she has truly been tested in the market.

The clock's hands turned circle by circle, and even Chi Xuanmo, who had always been calm, felt her hands and feet become cold.

As the time approaches, some fans in the fan groups have started calling their friends:

Dadabai: Director Huan’s new drama is coming, sisters don’t miss it.

The fans are not more nervous than the members of Spark. They are consumers. If it’s good, they will continue to watch it. If it’s not good, they will just be content.

In addition to the fans who are waiting with interest, the people who are most concerned about Chi Ling are the people on the photocopying side.

Huan Xu deliberately scheduled the release time of Chi Ling to be one and a half hours earlier than that of Those Ten Years, and the photocopying boss and the water army that Huang Hao had contacted in advance were already gearing up, as there were two big orders tonight.

First, they criticize a movie that was released earlier to set the tone, and then switch to boost clicks and comments on another movie that was released later, and by the way, divert traffic from the previous drama.

In the water army group, the very professional group leader gave the final time report:

Group leader: Checking the time, one minute left to reach the battlefield, one final check of weapons, brothers, follow me and charge.

Water: My virtual keyboard is thirsty.

Shui Shui: Hurry up and go back to sleep after collecting the money. Yawn.

The leader of the water army also sent a final message to the photocopying boss and assured him: Don’t worry, boss, we are professionals in doing the dirty work.

Photocopy boss: thumbs up.jpg.

On the photocopying side, only Huang Hao began to feel restless as time approached. For some reason, he always had a bad premonition.

However, no matter what Huang Hao thought, when the time came, Xinghuo's viewing channel opened as scheduled - "Night Rain to the North - Chi Ling" was released.

When you click on the link, the first thing that comes into view is still the introduction page.

In the upper left corner is a poster in the familiar mother planet style. Fans thought that after the shock of the first untitled poster, they were mentally prepared and could face it "calmly".

I think a lot.

The audience's gaze seemed to be grabbed by a pair of big hands, and they were glued to the poster for a long time, unable to come back to their senses.

The entire poster is an eye-catching and high-profile red drama.

Through the embellishment of red curtains, a famous actor wearing a full set of costumes, ready to perform on stage at any time, is facing the bronze mirror, drawing his thin eyebrows stroke by stroke.

The poster does not include her full body, but an enlarged bust, which makes Chi Ling's face and details doubly magnified, impacting the audience's eyes.

Thick foundation, overlaid with large amounts of colorful eyeshadow, blush, and eyeliner outlines the narrow eyebrows and eyes.

Unlike the simple and elegant look of the fox demon Xiaoyu, Chi Ling's exaggerated makeup impacts the aesthetic taste of the interstellar audience, which should be considered strange.

But for some reason, when he met Chi Ling's beautiful eyes that seemed to contain endless words, his heart skipped a beat.

Inexplicably, the memories engraved in the genes slowly revived.

I have to admit that even when she looks ugly like this, she is still beautiful.

It took a long time for the audience to come back to their senses from Chi Ling's makeup and dress, and then pay attention to other details.

It turns out that the male lead is not absent from the poster.

What is reflected in the bronze mirror is not the actor's image, but another picture -

The sky was filled with flames of war. Under the city, a young knight holding a silver spear stood resolutely, and the spear was like a flying dragon.

Behind him was a crumbling city, beside him were his fighting comrades, and in front of him were thousands of enemy troops and dense arrows.

There was no frivolity or childishness on that young baby's face. Blood was running down his cheeks, but his eyes were filled with sincere loyalty to defend his country.

The blank space on the poster contains the main and subtitles of the film, Night Rain Sent to the North - Chi Ling.

One-sentence summary: A three-foot red stage, sleeves rising, the whole room cheering.
