Chapter 155
Zhu Tian returned to Huan Xu with two films in a row, From Eden to Wandering on the Blue Planet. It can be said that even though the Zhu Tian Awards Ceremony has not yet been officially held, in the hearts of all StarCraft viewers, the eighth stop is already secured. Even if there are other directors who come out of nowhere and perform superbly, can they surpass one or two films?
Although Huan Xu's fans have been fighting for wealth ever since he became a director, none of them have been as extravagant as this time.
They had always kept a low profile and never caused hatred for Huan Xu, but they finally became "confident".
"The Zhutian Little Gold Cup belongs to my Huan Daodao. If Huan Daodao can't get it back for us, I'll stand upside down and eat the keyboard. Seriously."
Not only Huan's fans, but even the passersby in the audience showed unprecedented public support. Without a doubt, without suspense, they directly shouted: "If Director Huan doesn't win the award, there is no doubt about it, it's confirmed, there is definitely a shady deal going on at the award ceremony!"
There is certainly nothing wrong with the annual awards ceremony for stars representing the entertainment industry. Countless years of glory, adherence to the wishes of every citizen, and various measures such as transparent elections have proven its fairness and justice to everyone.
Therefore, everyone knows that Huan Xu is now only one trophy away from winning the Grand Slam. As a latecomer, he has surpassed Director An and is now on the same starting line.
Both of them are winners of the Eight Gold Cups, and the only one missing is the Juntianxing certification trophy.
Wandering Blue Star has finished airing, and Director Huan has already begun preparations for a new drama. An Shen has also officially begun filming. Oh my god, when I think about facing a film that two children of this era have poured their heart and soul into, my mind goes blank and cold sweat breaks out on my palms.
【The most exciting moment is coming!】
【Next we will witness a peak showdown. 】
[wwSuddenly I'm a little worried about Huan Daodao. After working so hard for so long, can his body and inspiration still hold up?]
[We're just one step away. Believe in God Huan, you can do it. It's almost time to witness a miracle!]
Although the discussion on the Internet about Anshen, Huanshen and the final returning Juntian is still heated, in real life, both Fenghuo Entertainment and Xinghuo Entertainment are not as lively as before.
Or it could be said to be quite quiet. Even the employees deliberately lowered their footsteps when communicating or walking. Of course, this was to avoid disturbing their own Anshen/Huanshen's creation and filming at the critical moment. Even though everyone knew that normal communication was possible due to the barrier of the wall, the employees were still in awe.
Witnessing the moment of history, let alone not speaking for a month, I can even endure it for a year!
Huan Xu was somewhat helpless about this. He had already mentioned this issue to Xiao Gu and Manager Ye, asking them to help convey that there was no need for everyone to be so cautious. However, after expressing their understanding, everyone just did not take any action, and Huan Xu was left with nothing he could do.
Manager Ye was lounging in Director Huan's office, slacking off during work hours. He smiled and said, "It's not just everyone in the company. I see a lot of viewers online are worried about whether Director Huan has lost weight. Well, actually, what they should be worried about is not how much weight Director Huan has lost, but how much weight he has gained."
Huan Xu: ...
Although everyone has been overly concerned about him during this period, Huan Xu is touched but also has to endure everyone's loving care and health care, from Uncle Gu, Uncle Wang, Little Gu, Yan Ze, to Wu Qianying and Qin Dongxiao. Fortunately, Huan Xu himself has a physique that is not easy to gain weight, otherwise he might really gain a few pounds as Manager Ye said, and then show his true appearance in front of the red carpet camera ().
Eating is one thing, but it’s true that work is tiring.
Especially when working under high intensity, he finally gets a break, but ends up seeing someone coming to him to take advantage of him, sitting on his sofa, eating his fruit plate, and slacking off openly without any awareness of being a worker.
Huan Xu waved his hand at Ye Qian in disdain: "Go away, I don't want to see you. If I don't take a good picture, you'll be the first one to blame it."
Ye Qian pretended to be surprised: "I thought no one dared to disturb our Director Huan. Too much is as bad as too little, and too much loneliness is not good either. So I came here to chat with you out of kindness. Hey, look at me, I forgot again. We really don't need it here. Tsk tsk, the sour smell of love is everywhere. Our Director Huan has someone to accompany him."
Huan Xu: ...
"Haha, no more jokes." Manager Ye put down the melon peel in his hand, wiped his hands, and when he looked at Huan Xu again, he had regained the image of an elite general manager and changed the subject to get down to business:
"I just heard what Mr. Wang said, and I still want to confirm with you again. Are you sure you only want to release one work before the Juntian Awards Ceremony?"
Huan Xu nodded immediately after hearing this: "Yes, one of them will be released before the awards ceremony, and the remaining one will be released after the ceremony."
"Although I know you put a lot of effort into Hong Huang and even took care of every detail yourself, it was very hard work, but with Director Huan's ability, if you want both films to be released before the ceremony, you can do it with some effort."
Huan Xu: "Correction, the hard work you're talking about probably refers to me only sleeping three or four hours a day for a month, working non-stop and being exhausted, which is really exhausting."
Ye Qian spread his hands and said, "It's just a possibility. Anyway, the content of the filming has been thought out, right? Besides, the two films are guaranteed to be of the same size, which makes people feel more at ease."
Director Huan couldn't help but roll his eyes at the unscrupulous manager who was trying to exploit the director like a capitalist: "You're violating the labor law. I'll sue you."
Ye Qian: "As one of the company's major shareholders and Xiaohuo's biological brother, Director Huan must be working overtime voluntarily. What does this have to do with me, an employee?"
Huan Xu: "You are looking for Director Huan. What does that have to do with me, Huan Daodao?"
Ye Qian: “?”
Huan Xu: "I mean, it really can't be filmed. Although they are both documentaries, the styles are different. The end result of working on two threads may leave regrets on both sides. Two guaranteed films are good, but instead of making two 80-point films, it is better to concentrate on making one 90-point film. If one can be perfect, there is no need for a guaranteed minimum, right?"
"That's not wrong." However, Manager Ye changed the subject and squinted his eyes: "Why do I just not believe it?"
It’s Director Huan’s turn to have a question mark over his head.
Ye Qian: "You can just lie to others with this, but to be honest, if you really want to shoot it, even Director Huan, who has TOP syndrome, can work hard to finish it without sleep. He's not willing to do it now just because he doesn't want to."
Huan Xu and Ye Qian looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "The one who understands me is humble."
When Ye Qian heard Huan Xu's affirmative answer, he straightened his back and leaned back on the sofa again, shaking his head helplessly: "I knew it."
Huan Xu asked with a smile, "So, you're not really coming here to convince me to do two films, right?"
Ye Qian took off his glasses and wiped them. Hearing this, he snorted unhappily, "You know what you're doing. You want to have a one-on-one with Director An. As a senior employee, I won't interfere."
After a pause, Ye Qian added: "Of course, if I fail to win the Grand Slam because of this, haha."
The last word "ha" is chilly and its meaning is self-evident. Whether to fry, boil, or grill it directly, we will decide when the time comes.
Huan Xu placed another fruit plate in front of Manager Ye: "Please eat."
Ye Qian: "Bribing me won't work."
Huan Xu smiled again, his eyes showing the eagerness to fight when facing a truly powerful enemy, and the confidence and demeanor of Ye Qian volunteering to serve as a general to expand his territory. "It's not a bribe, it's just some fruit. When this is all over, Manager Ye will be busy like a top again."
Once the Grand Slam is achieved, Xinghuo will surely stand at the peak of traffic. How much traffic can be converted into the company's foundation is what Manager Ye has to worry about. Huan Xu also believes that Manager Ye will definitely be able to swallow it up to the greatest extent and wait for it to be digested slowly. Of course, it will definitely be a waste of Manager Ye.
Ye Qian also knew what was waiting for him, so he snatched the fruit plate without hesitation: "By the way, don't let your husband know that I ate the fruit he brought you this morning, or his eyes will freeze me to death."
Listening to Manager Ye's sarcastic remarks, Director Huan, who was a close friend of his, decided to hurt each other: "I forgot who it was, but not long ago, my aunt was urging me to get married, and I came to me to complain out of nowhere. I work overtime every day and I don't dare go home, haha."
Ye Qian: ...We are friends now.
Meanwhile, over at Fenghuo Entertainment, in the office, Director An had just finished filming a scene and had just returned to reality. He stretched, twisted his neck, and straightened his stiff shoulders. He smiled at Director Mo and said, "I heard that Xinghuo has also started filming. The pace is really fast. It's great to be young."
Then Director An noticed Minister Mo's expression: "What's wrong? You look so worried?"
Minister Mo: "It's what you just said. The young people are so efficient. Although I haven't seen the script or the finished film, I think it's probably pretty good."
Director An raised his eyebrows. "What? Are you worried about our film? That's not your character. You shouldn't be praising me like crazy right now."
"As a star director, can't you use some elegant descriptions?" Minister Mo complained before expressing his concerns:
"No matter who I am without confidence, I can't lose faith in An Shen, who has created countless miracles. I have personally witnessed the works you created from scratch. I know only too well how much effort you put into them. Your inherent excellence, coupled with your increasingly sophisticated skills, means that even if Director Huan is more talented, even if he can beat people of your age in the past, he can't surpass you, who are also running forward at a rapid pace."
Director An happily accepted his old friend's compliment, regardless of whether there was a personal filter or not, as long as he was happy to hear it: "Then what are you worried about?"
Minister Mo sighed, "Have you ever heard the saying, 'If you lack quality, you make up for it with quantity?' For us, one work is the limit before the red carpet. As for Xinghuo, I think they only have time for one work, but they can't be judged by common sense. If they have two or three, even if they can't beat them individually, it's hard to predict the outcome when they all fight together."
Unexpectedly, after hearing Minister Mo's words, Director An actually burst into laughter.
Minister Mo was a little confused for a moment: What's so funny?
Director An straightened up after laughing enough, even wiping his eyes exaggeratedly before answering Minister Mo's question: "Old Mo, you're overthinking it. There will only be one production from Xinghuo."
Minister Mo's first thought was, "Could it be that you asked Xiaoyan to steal information for you? Oh my god, if Director Huan finds out, it will affect the relationship between young people. Old An, you are so confused!"
Anxi: ...What are you thinking about? Sometimes I feel that Lao Mo’s thinking is even more jumpy than his.
Director An: "What does it have to do with Ozawa? I can be sure without him even trying to hint at it."
Minister Mo: “Why…” Why?
Before Minister Mo could finish, Director An spoke as a matter of course, "Of course, it's because geniuses admire each other. I will give it my all, and Director Huan will also meet the challenge with his best work. This is a tacit understanding between masters. Do you understand?"
He didn't quite understand, but since Anxi said so, Minister Mo had no choice but to believe it. Taking a step back, even if Director Huan really "ganged up", he would have no way to stop it.
Time passed quietly as both sides were busy filming, and the merger of Juntianxing, the last stop of the Jiutian merger, was also put on the agenda.
Similarly, Xinghuo Entertainment and Fenghuo Entertainment both released announcements at the same time, both choosing to launch the new works of Director Huan and Director An on the day of the Juntian merger, and each of them released all episodes of the documentary on the day of release. I don’t know whether the amount is large, but it is definitely enough to satisfy you.
The excited audience became a group of screaming ducks again, and began to suffer from the dilemma of making a decision early on. Which film to watch first was definitely an epic decision.
Before Juntian returned, there was actually another big event, that is, the large-scale fairy tale series "Seeking the Immortal Path" directed by Director Huan finally ushered in the finale.
As the plot progresses, Ye Hao's cultivation has now reached the tribulation period. As the name suggests, after passing the mysterious thunder tribulation, he can ascend to the upper realm and become a true immortal, living forever.
However, when Ye Hao came to Zhongzhou at this time, he discovered that the ladder to heaven had collapsed with the catastrophe that year. Without the ladder, it was naturally impossible to ascend to heaven. Many powerful monks who had reached a certain level of cultivation were finally forced to become immortals.
However, a wandering immortal is not a true immortal after all. Each of the nine thunder tribulations of a wandering immortal is extremely difficult. If they cannot survive it, they will die. Even if they survive it, when their lifespan comes to an end after the nine revolutions, even if they have lived for tens of thousands of years, what awaits them is still demise in the world and they will be re-integrated into the laws of nature.
As his cultivation level improved, Emperor Tyrant finally told Ye Hao the truth of what happened back then.
It turns out that neither the collapse of the continent nor the damage of the ladder to heaven were accidental, and the collapse of heaven and earth was not as some people speculated, that the upper realm did not allow them to ascend. The truth was that the fairyland had long been deserted, and the demons from outside the domain invaded. The fairies either died in battle or disappeared.
Emperor Batian himself is not in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, his real identity is the God of War from the immortal realm.
During the invasion of the extraterritorial demons, the immortals in the upper realm calculated that a great catastrophe was coming. The small world where Ye Hao was located was the last chance to resist the extraterritorial demons, so it was blocked by the immortals, the ladder to heaven was broken, and the immortals selected descendants in the major ancient caves in this world to leave their own heritage.
The last few episodes of Seeking Immortality tell the story of Ye Hao, along with his companions who have grown up together, the Emperor Tyrant who has reshaped his body, and several other true immortals or reincarnations of true immortals, rebuilding the ladder to heaven and taking back the immortal world.
Based on the needs of the main storyline, fighting is also indispensable in the last few episodes.
As the battles unfolded, the audience, while watching the dazzling version of the cosmic war in cultivation, could not help but be surprised to find that the bigger the scene, the more gorgeous the special effects.
The person who shot these special effects is Director Huan. In other words, Director Huan is really like a monster, growing all the time. By the last episode, his use of special effects can no longer be called a shortcoming. The average level of other star directors is probably no more than this. Even coupled with Director Huan's wild imagination and unheard-of moves, it is even more shocking.
The power and image of the Tiangang Beidou Sword Formation that killed the Demon Lord lingered in the audience's minds for a long time and could not be erased.
As Ye Hao made hand gestures, lightning and thunder suddenly appeared, and extremely suppressed auras surged out from the depths of the clouds, and a chaotic and murderous atmosphere spread.
The sky and the earth changed color, all things trembled, and the terrifying power made people feel despair, and even breathing became a luxury.
Starting with the low and long sound of sword ringing, countless brilliant sword lights appeared from nothingness. They were the swords guarding the True Immortals throughout the ages. Some were long, some were short, some were bright, some were dark. The only thing they had in common was that they all emitted the power to destroy the world.
These sword lights, condensed from the purest power between heaven and earth, swirled and intertwined, eventually forming a complex and huge sword formation pattern, covering the sky and the sun, enveloping the entire world.
In the center of the sword formation, Ye Hao stood proudly, slashing with two fingers. No sword was better than a sword. Countless sword intentions followed the invisible sword intention and finally gathered together. The sword pillar soared into the sky and pierced the clouds, with dazzling light flowing on it.
The entire world seemed to stand still, only the sword formation continued to rotate, releasing the might of devastating destruction. In the face of this power, any resistance seemed so insignificant and powerless, and all that could be done was to wait for its end.
Proclaiming the only outcome before it - everything can turn to dust.
…
[Sometimes I really feel like Director Huan has a system that allows him to become infinitely stronger.]
[Indeed, it's hard to explain Director Huan's terrifying rate of improvement.]
[It's actually not impossible. Think about it from another angle. What if Director Huan hadn't shown his true skills before, and was just shooting casually to get the hang of it, increasing the intensity in reverse, and then slowly going all out at the end? Doesn't that make sense?]
[That's terrifying enough, right? A versatile director with no weaknesses in any genre?]
[Keep a low profile. I'm still missing the last two well-deserved trophies. It won't be too late to praise me after I get them.]
[…Just as I was about to open my mouth to taunt him, I saw the familiar Huan name and thought, let's just go. If you can't afford to provoke me, you can afford to avoid me.]
The ending of Seeking Immortality once again gave the audience an inexplicable confidence, and there was an illusion that Director Huan was omnipotent. Or perhaps, it was not an illusion?
All the audience looked at the calendar. A new day was about to come, and this day was the day of the Juntian merger.
During the evening prime time, the moment the pointer reached eight o'clock, the audience across the Internet flocked to the Star Forum with large and small fires. Both beacon fire and star fire were fire!
Even the popularity of the complete merger of the Nine Stars was subtly overshadowed by the new works of the two directors and this peak showdown.
Xinghuo's official website promptly released the announcement: [The sky and earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast and boundless, the sun and moon wax and wane, and the constellations are spread out. (Note: Thousand Character Classic)
In that magical land, myths are not only the ancestors' explanations and imaginations of natural phenomena, but also their profound thoughts and expressions on the origin of life, cosmic order, and moral ethics.
This is a collision and exchange of imagination spanning thousands of years.
@Xinghuo Entertainment Huan Xu @Actor Qin Dongxiao @Actor Wu Qianying @......
Welcome to watch the large-scale documentary "Honghuang" and walk into the world of our ancient ancestors with us.
Many of Juntianxing's top students had already prepared paper and pens. They had a strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge about Chinese mythology, so they clicked on the movie link with the mentality of either learning or communicating.
The top students were not as nervous as the other spectators because, according to their calculations, the probability of Director Huan not winning the championship was close to negative infinity.
The first thing that catches your eye is the poster of Honghuang: an ancient and magnificent picture of the universe is painted in oil paint, with somewhat abstract colors and descriptions, bringing the magnificent scene of the beginning of the world to the audience.
The vast earth rises in chaos, the sun and the moon are like wheels, light and shadow flow, and stars intertwine, together forming an eternal and unchanging order.
One-sentence summary: Cancong and Yufu, how confused the founding of a nation was. (Note: Li Bai)
[My heart is excited and my hands are shaking. Director Huan, here I come.]
"Director Huan will definitely be able to do it. This man has never let us down."
[One sentence to describe the story of capturing a top-notch Li Bai. I've heard this before.]
[It is recommended to read and memorize the entire text of "The Difficult Road to Shu".]
[Wipe away the sweat! A top student named Juntian suddenly appears upstairs. My apologies. It's just that the joke is a bit dull.]
[No kidding, a representative at the conference proposed adding many meaningful and famous works to the curriculum. I think that's a great idea, so I voted for it.]
[…Ahahaha, I'm suddenly glad I've graduated. Good luck to all my future children.]
【It’s about to begin! 】
The film slowly began, and the opening was pure black without any sound.
Just when the audience wanted to check if there was any problem with their own computer, a dull sigh was heard from the screen after a long time.
"well……"
【???】
[What happened? Is my optical computer broken? ]
Just when the audience was becoming increasingly confused, a sharp-eyed audience member discovered a clue.
Listen carefully and look carefully. This isn't a completely black background, nor is there no background music. There seems to be a vague figure in the center of the shot!
Soon after this comment was posted, more and more people gradually discovered the "person" on the screen.
As the camera got closer and the background music became louder, the "person" slowly opened his eyes, and only then did the audience gradually see his face clearly.
The "man" had a strong face, muscular body, and a divine light in his eyes. He held a huge axe in his hand. Before the audience could react, he swung it with all his might. There was a loud bang, accompanied by the restless drum beats and ethereal flute sounds of the background music, and light appeared in the camera.
At this time, a line of subtitles slowly emerged - Act One, Pangu Creates the World.
