Chapter 60
When the assistant director was sincerely thanking the Buddha, the chief director's eyelids twitched. What does this have to do with the Buddha? He had paid for this celebratory banquet out of his own pocket.
We should thank him if we have to.
Besides, can’t you see that he is in a bad mood now? How can he eat all the time?
The chief director could not help but put his wine glass heavily on the table, which really attracted the attention of the assistant director. However, the assistant director just looked up at the chief director calmly, then lowered his head as if nothing had happened and continued to eat.
Director:?!
The chief director slammed his chopsticks down on the table and gritted his teeth, "Assistant Director, are you still in the mood to eat?"
The assistant director's cheeks were still moving as he mumbled, "Isn't this a celebration party? Why wouldn't I be in the mood?"
The assistant director's impassive attitude infuriated him, and the chief director lost all pretense. "Don't play dumb. You're happy my show flopped, right? The company is putting you down by having you be my assistant. Speak up!"
The other actors were silent, ostensibly shrinking their necks to reduce their presence, but secretly pricked up their ears, there was something fishy!
The assistant director also had a temper. He stood up unexpectedly and shouted, "Yes! I do have a problem. What do you mean by 'your drama'? I did more work than you, and my name is listed after yours. I give you the credit first, but if you make a fool of yourself, I have to accompany you and be ridiculed by the entire internet."
"Why? It's because you have a trusted uncle who's the CEO of the company!"
The director never expected that the assistant director would turn hostile, and he was unable to react for a while when faced with the assistant director's outburst.
The assistant director was still not satisfied with his scolding: "What are you looking at? You are so stubborn and have no manners at all. Take this time for example, it's all your fault. What did I say then? Don't make trouble. Director Huan is showing someone else's film, what does it have to do with you?"
"It was you who insisted on dancing in front of them and got slapped in the face. Now you feel embarrassed. It's your first time getting in a bridal sedan. How refreshing!"
The assistant director spoke in a sarcastic tone and expression, and the young actor in some seat couldn't help but burst out laughing because his acting was not good enough.
Even though the young actor pinched himself in time and used the pain to physically suppress the corners of his lips, the laughter still reached the ears of the director Ma Da.
Ma Da came back to his senses, his face burning, and then he became angry and said, "Guo Qingyun, are you crazy?"
Knowing that he has a backer, I'm not afraid that he will ask my uncle to fire Guo Qingyun.
"Heh." Assistant Director Guo sneered at Ma Da, gave him a disdainful look, and wiped his mouth with a tissue: "Thank you for the treat."
Holding his briefcase, Assistant Director Guo walked away in a swagger.
Mada's forehead is black. Not to mention that he will have a bloody disaster, his luck should not be very good. Plus, it seems that his brain is not very good either. It is always better to stay away from such people.
Anyway, his contract is about to expire, and other entertainment companies have contacted him privately before, so changing jobs is a good option.
Deputy Director Guo had another thought in his mind at the moment. He didn't know whether Xinghuo had any intention of starting a track in the field of online dramas.
What Deputy Director Guo didn't expect was that the next day, the big boss's secretary actually came to him and said with a smile: "Director Guo, the boss is waiting for you in the office."
Director Guo thought that it was Mada who complained when he got home yesterday, and his uncle also acted quickly. However, it is impossible for the big boss to come forward personally, right?
With this thought in mind, Guo Qingyun sat on the sofa opposite the big boss: "Boss Luo, you're looking for me?"
Waving his hand to let the secretary go out, the Crown CEO looked at Director Guo.
"Director Guo, I heard that when the release date of 'To Dana' was changed, you strongly opposed it?"
Is this accountability?
Director Guo nodded expressionlessly, waiting for the big boss to humiliate him mentally and personally, and then ruthlessly kick him out of the company.
Unexpectedly, after a pause, the boss changed his tone.
"Alas, Ma Da, relying on his talent and the fact that Lao Ma is his uncle, is a bit arbitrary. Director Guo has suffered a lot over the years. He doesn't need to follow Ma Da anymore."
"I'll take charge of this matter and compensate Director Guo. Director Guo can shoot whatever he wants for the next drama."
Director Guo looked at Mr. Luo in confusion, not understanding what this famously stingy boss was up to.
The Crown boss is also helpless.
He has been particularly unlucky recently, with various accidents in his career and life. A few days ago, he went out to dinner with a young artist from the company. He swore that it was just a simple meal, but by chance, he was seen by his wife's girlfriends.
The boss of Crown secretly complains that Yan Ze's father is a love-brained person. Of course, he himself is not a love-brained person, but he is very afraid of his wife. When he was young, he was ignorant and listened to his family. He sacrificed love for his career and chose an arranged marriage.
The domineering CEO of another family arranged a marriage, and after taking advantage of the wife, he kicked her out of the house, and the white moonlight took her place. He also had to introduce an illegitimate son to take the position, and the whole family was in chaos.
Boss Luo doesn't have a first love. He's a stingy person and only loves money, but it doesn't prevent him from having some stirring thoughts.
However, all distracting thoughts became nothing in front of his fierce wife.
Boss Luo can guarantee that if he really dares to mess around outside, the Hedong Lion will really chase him with an axe and chop him.
By the way, although the tough wife is the daughter of a prominent family, she is also a very ambitious woman and a professional shot put athlete.
Getting back to the point, this is what happened.
There have been too many unpleasant things happening recently, and Boss Luo couldn't help but think too much. He finally got home early from get off work yesterday, but he still couldn't find peace when he got home.
Under the threat of force from the Hedong Lion, Boss Luo had to hold back his tears and watch the drama sweetly with his wife and daughter for the sake of family harmony.
What I am following is not Crown’s own online drama, but Zi Buyu:-).
Boss Luo also expressed a weak protest, but was suppressed by his wife and daughter.
Regardless of whether others said anything or not, our boss Luo was speechless.
Despite his boss' displeasure, Boss Luo was forced to watch the drama at first, but gradually, he became immersed in the plot.
When he went to bed at night, Boss Luo tossed and turned, his mind full of all sorts of weird and supernatural thoughts.
I finally fell asleep, but ended up having nightmares all night long.
Even if he were ten years younger, Boss Luo would have scoffed and sneered, "Anyone who believes this is a fool."
However, Boss Luo is no longer the young and energetic Ronaldinho.
Otherwise, the body would not be lacking in yang energy and be entangled by dirty things, right? This is from the fortune-telling expert invited by Boss Luo, who is said to have inherited the tradition from an old Taoist priest from Mount Longhu on the mother planet.
There is another point, the old Taoist priest tactfully reminded him that the reason why he repeatedly encountered obstacles in matters concerning Xinghuo was because Xinghuo was a person with great luck.
Mr. Luo is reluctant to admit that Huan Xu is the Son of the Plane, but...
That kid is indeed a bit weird.
He was just an ordinary boss with nothing but money. Although he donated a lot of money to the Taoist priest, it was impossible for the Taoist priest to protect him all the time.
Continuing to secretly target Xinghuo is not targeting others, but is like hitting a rock with an egg. What else can he gain except causing trouble for himself and bringing attention to Huan Xu?
After much deliberation, the Crown boss decided that his life was more important than his face. Anyway, no one else would know that he had backed down.
With one thought, everything became clear. This morning, on the way to work, looking at the clouds rolling in the sky, Boss Luo felt his mind become more open, as if all the bad luck had really left him.
Conclusion: The Taoist priest is a true hermit master, and it is right to listen to the masters.
When he arrived at the office, even though he heard the secretary report the farce at the celebration party for "To Dana", Boss Luo was in a good mood and treated it as a joke.
"The assistant director was right. That old guy, Mada, his nostrils are about to grow to the top of his forehead."
Speaking of Guo Qingyun, Boss Luo recalled the report his secretary brought back when the schedule was changed.
At that time, Boss Luo was still thinking that Guo Qingyun was ignorant of the current situation and his mental state was worrying. He thought that he could optimize the personnel in the next staffing arrangement.
However, after receiving advice from the master and recalling the secretary's report at the time, Boss Luo decided to go and see Guo Qingyun in person, thinking that perhaps there were other masters among the people.
The moment Guo Qingyun entered the office, Boss Luo saw the sandalwood Buddhist beads in his hand.
Although Taoism and Buddhism are not the same, it is said that in the era of the mother planet, the two were the great sects that competed with each other.
The Taoist sword can calm mountains and rivers, and the talismans can restrain ghosts and gods.
Buddhism saves those who are destined to be saved, and the Buddha cuts off his flesh to feed falcons.
There is something.
The smile on Boss Luo's face became sincere, not fawning, but his attitude also showed respect for Guo Qingyun, the hermit in the company.
In the subsequent conversation, when Boss Luo led the topic to metaphysics several times, Guo Qingyun was not a fool and he also reacted.
Director Guo didn't show it on his face, but his mind was calculating.
Boss Luo said he would give him a promotion and a raise, but he didn't comment and gave a polite yet awkward and distant smile.
A good horse never turns back to the old pasture, and Guo Qingyun is even less likely to do so.
However, the more indifferent Guo Qingyun was, the more Boss Luo nodded secretly. That's right, that's right, the same tone as Taoist Longhu, this is the style of a master.
Although Guo Qingyun was not prepared to stay and perish with the Crown, he did not leave immediately because he still had an important mission.
He wants to join the Xinghuo family, but why would they accept him just because he says so? Is it because he has a lot of face? If he wants to cling to Director Huan's golden thigh, he must have a letter of commitment.
Guo Qingyun looked at Boss Luo and raised the corners of his lips unconsciously: It's you.
Director Guo leaned forward, and Boss Luo understood and moved closer to listen attentively.
Director Guo: "Director Huan..."
Although Director Guo also thinks Director Huan is amazing, he doesn't think that humans are the protagonists of the world. However, since someone believes in it, he might as well add fuel to the fire.
Even if the old Taoist priest that Boss Luo found is probably just a half-baked one like him, it doesn't cost any money to cheat a fool anyway.
Boss Luo was like a hooked black carp: "What's wrong with him? We're all family here, Director Guo, why don't you just speak frankly?"
Director Guo didn't continue. Instead, he shook his head and said in an unfathomable way, "I can't say it. I can't say it."
Boss Luo's heart skipped a beat. If he had believed Huan Xu's identity as a "monster" only 60%, now he believed it 80%.
And he is very powerful, the kind that neither Longhu Mountain nor Buddhism can convert.
Seeing Boss Luo frowning in thought, Director Guo finally said earnestly, "It's better to resolve grudges than to create them. You reap what you sow. For your own good, you should cultivate yourself and improve your character in the future. Amitabha, that's all I have to say."
Boss Luo savored the Zen meaning in Director Guo's words, nodded seriously, and even unconsciously changed the way he addressed him: "Amitabha, thank you Master Guo for your guidance."
Director Guo said, "I don't deserve it."
After a friendly conversation, before Director Guo left the office, Boss Luo stopped him again and said, "Director Guo, could you tell me how to obtain this string of beads? I'd also like to donate some money to the Buddha as a token of my appreciation."
Director Guo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said nonchalantly, "Boss, you're obsessed. Money is just a thing outside of your body. Remember, sincerity is the key to success."
He spent a lot of money to get this necklace from his niece by coaxing and deceiving her.
When Man Jiang Hong Xuan Tian Xing was released some time ago, Xinghuo held a fan interactive lottery event. Lucky fans could get character accessories produced by Xinghuo, which were limited to one thousand copies worldwide!
There are ten kinds of accessories in total, including the small silver scorpion accessory of the Five Immortals Saint, the jade pendant of Mr. Qin, the sword tassel of the Taoist priest, and the Buddhist beads of the abbot...
On average, his precious beads are among the only one percent of beads that have been consecrated in the world.
If you want to steal his precious beads, dream on!
…
On the Internet, the discussion about "Zi Bu Yu" continues to be heated, and film critics have also joined the carnival.
When "Guide Dogs" was released, most of Haotian's film critics missed the biggest wave of traffic because of their preconceived notions, allowing two unknown film critics to stand out thanks to Guide Dogs, and their fame and wallets swelled.
This time, Haotianxing’s film critics finally seized the opportunity and joined this wave of traffic-grabbing events.
However, while the film critics of Shuangxing are showing off their talents and trying to be remembered by the audience along with the masterpieces, Taihang and Xingchen, who previously sat firmly in the first and second spots in Director Huan's film review section and were praised by old fans as Director Huan's personal writers, are now living a peaceful life in Xingbo.
Some fans urged them to update their posts under their Weibo accounts.
"What about a big Taihang teacher?"
"Teacher Xingchen, while Teacher Taihang is slacking off, let's go steal Jiayong's prize and compete for first place."
Fans didn’t expect that Teacher Taihang would respond so quickly today.
Taihang dynamic update: a viewing screenshot.
The fans laughed at first: "I caught you! Is Teacher Taihang also peeking at the screen?"
"He's anxious, he's anxious. He heard someone wants to take the top film critic position, and Teacher Taihang can't sit still anymore."
"If this isn't love~~~"
The fans first talked nonsense as usual, and then clicked on Taihang’s new updates.
Zoom in, replay the video silently, and drag the progress bar to the last screenshot.
The fans looked confused.
"The Great Detective is coming. What does it mean that Mr. Taihang sent a screenshot of the movie?"
"I know the answer to this question. Teacher Taihang wanted to tell us, but he looked at me and said nothing."
"I listen to your words as if they were mine. Okay, next one."
"Teacher Taihang posted screenshots but no film review. Could it be that he thought it wasn't good, so he couldn't write one?"
Without waiting for others to refute, this viewer posted a new message: "No, Zi Buyu scored 9.4 points. With Mr. Taihang's aesthetic, it's impossible for him not to appreciate it. So, it's just too beautiful. I don't know what to say? Forget it, I don't understand either. Next one."
Fans' minds diverged, each one becoming a detective. Finally, one fan saw the big picture:
"Everyone, pay attention to the details of Teacher Taihang's screenshot. The time of the screenshot proves that the teacher just rewatched the drama. This cannot be a sign of dislike. The teacher did not post a review, but only responded with a screenshot. I guess the teacher wants to wait until the whole drama is finished before posting a review."
"Don't forget, this is a serialized web series. My impression of Mr. Taihang is that he's a very rigorous and serious person. He reviews a work objectively based on the overall situation, rather than just chasing traffic. That's what I respect as an independent film critic."
Immediately afterwards, Taihang clicked a thumbs up under this netizen's speculation, confirming his statement.
In the Xingbo area, fans accepted the explanation given by netizens and left messages saying: "Teacher Taihang, we are waiting for you."
Xingchen’s fan section also responded positively to the fans, roughly saying that they would wait until the end of the show before publishing a film review.
Not only did netizens sigh in their hearts, they also thought that he was worthy of being Director Huan’s exclusive film critic. What is the pattern? This is it!
It is true that Taihang and Xingchen are die-hard fans of Director Huan, but it is precisely because of this identity that they treat every film review with higher standards and stricter requirements.
Zi Buyu scored 9.4 points when it was first aired, however, the two teachers still need to see the subsequent plot, whether it continues to maintain its position as a god or is powerless to continue. Only after watching it can they write the most pertinent evaluation to avoid misleading the audience.
In ancient times, censors risked their lives to give advice, and today there are two teachers who seek truth from facts. I believe that if Director Huan's creative level declines in his later years, the two teachers will not hesitate to point out his shortcomings while affirming the advantages of his works!
Fortunately, Yan Ze, who is busy with work, and Xiao Gu, who is busy with studies and internship at the company, immediately went offline after replying to netizens. I don’t know what netizens thought of afterwards, otherwise I would definitely tell everyone: you are overthinking it.
The next plot of Zi Buyu will only get better!
Why not write a review now?
Of course, the current one-sided comments cannot reflect the excellence of the work!
…
In addition to film reviews, audiences will also have new insights when they are silent while watching the film.
A certain argument gradually took shape on the Internet, and finally, a post made by a relationship blogger late at night ignited the fuse.
"Directors need inspiration to shoot films, and often inspiration comes from life."
"So, beneath Director Huan's wild imagination, does Zi Buyu contain any insights from life?"
“The answer is—yes.”
"The Sword and Soul chapter, Lingxi's search for his mother, is a beautiful story about family love. In this story, mother and son are reunited, and Yunyin Lingxi becomes known and loved as a national treasure."
"The story's ending is perfect, fulfilling Director Huan's promise of a warm and healing new drama."
"However, the sword spirit's wish came true, and the audience was delighted. Beyond the script, will Director Huan also be like He He, sitting by the bed late one night, gazing at the stars in the night sky, and missing his departed loved ones?"
The emotional blogger's short essay ends here, but the audience's imagination diverges.
As Director Huan became famous, everyone also knew that Director Huan's mother was also a gold medal director, Ms. Feng Manman, who had brought many excellent works to the audience.
It is a pity that Ms. Feng Manman met with an accident and died while she was out collecting folk songs.
At that time, the tragic news of Director Huang Jin's death was also reported by several news outlets.
So, was the publication of "Zi Bu Yu" due to Director Huan missing his mother?
"I feel sorry for Director Huan."
"Wow, Director Huan must be missing his mother a lot."
"Huan Tiantian, stay strong! Director Feng, who has become a star, will definitely be proud of her now!"
Of course, not everyone agrees with this view, and the opposing side also has their reasons.
"You think too superficially of Huan Dao. When it's late at night and everyone is asleep, Huan Dao thinks of his mother. I do too. When a child wants to support his parents but they are no longer around, it's a regret that is hard to undo."
"But I personally think that the emergence of Zi Buyu should have a deeper meaning."
Someone asked curiously: "For example?"
The opposing side directly posted a link: "This is the data on the home planet that I collected and organized previously. For our ancestors, inheritance is a great task imbued with a sense of mission and responsibility, and cultural relics are the carriers of the cultural heritage of a civilization and a country."
"There was once a unique and turbulent era when countless people risked their lives to protect the gifts of history and pass on civilization."
"There are also countless wealthy merchants and powerful families who spend thousands of gold just to bring the lost cultural relics back to their hometowns."
"At the end of the first episode of 'Zi Bu Yu,' I believe many people were as shocked as I was. Through Hehe's perspective, we saw a wonderful world where yin and yang are divided and all things have spirits."
"All things have spirits, perhaps just like gods, ghosts, and demons, which originated from the worship and imagination of our ancestors."
"But even if Yunyin Lingxi doesn't have a sword spirit, it's still a national treasure. The rust stains on the sword are the words bestowed upon it by time. Its existence itself is a chapter of ups and downs."
"It amazed the time in which it existed, and then transcended time and space to meet future generations, silently telling us the splendor of an era."
"Considering the current state of our forgetfulness of our home planet and its history, as well as the style of Director Huan's previous dramas, perhaps what Director Huan wants to convey to us is: we need cultural relics, but we need history even more."
"Perhaps we can call it a 'cultural invasion,' a shock and reflection given to us by Huan Dao and our ancestors."
Finally, this fan, who was clearly quite cultured, added: "Of course, I'm not saying this to refute the previous point, but just to complement the previous point about 'missing mom'."
Other netizens commented: "I understand. The greater good comes first, personal feelings come second. Sometimes the distinction between public and private is not that clear. Just like Director Huan, the combination of the two sparked inspiration and created a masterpiece."
Netizens once again saw Director Huan’s determination to spread the culture of his home planet. Some viewers also really began to reflect and recall. If they didn’t think about it, they wouldn’t know, and when they thought about it, they would be shocked.
I used to think that this cumbersome and cumbersome history without any scientific and technological basis seemed boring and pale every time I mentioned it. However, when I recall it now, those blank spaces seem to have been filled with colors one by one with a paintbrush.
From the battlefield filled with smoke and weapons, to the court where power struggles and intrigues are entangled;
From the mysterious Tushan Fox who worships the moon late at night, to the famous sword with a soul whose origin is a mystery and who is determined to find his mother;
From Chi Ling's white bones and blue ashes, even if the world does not know me, to Jin Se's deep love and affection, this love can be remembered.
One incident after another, one scene after another, one puzzle after another, allowed the interstellar people to discover that their home planet actually had so many treasures.
Of course, regardless of whether or not the understanding of the mother planet culture is repositioned, most viewers spontaneously left comfort under Director Huan’s star blog.
"Give Director Huan a heartfelt hug. You still have us."
Huan Xu was not actually on Cangtian Star at this time. The previous charity event ended successfully, and Huan Xu was invited to attend the final ceremony.
Huan Xu had just seen the topic that was pushed up, and before he could clarify it, the computer started to ring one after another.
There are private messages of concern from artists and directors who are like Spark.
There were also interstellar communications dialed in one after another by Professor Gu, Little Gu, Uncle Wang, Yan Ze, Ye Qian and others.
The first call Huan Xu answered was from his stepfather.
"Xiao Xu, I'm sorry. It's uncle's fault." Professor Gu's concerned voice came, and he started by apologizing. Professor Gu blamed himself for not noticing Huan Xu's mood. When he thought about the child secretly thinking about his mother and writing the story of the sword spirit looking for his mother, he felt guilty and worried.
Before Professor Gu could continue to reflect, Huan Xu spoke first: "Uncle Gu, I'm fine."
It's really okay.
Huan Xu was already past the age of missing his biological parents.
As for Ms. Feng Manman, she is the original owner's biological mother. If she were still alive, Huan Xu would fulfill his obligations as a son.
However, the other party passed away unexpectedly. People's feelings deepen in the process of getting along with each other. Huan Xu had no formal contact with the other party, so naturally there was no question of missing him.
After finally comforting his stepfather, Huan Xu answered the call from Uncle Gu Wang. During the call, he also replied to Director Zheng, Qin Dongxiao and others in the company, telling them not to worry.
After hanging up the call with Mr. Wang, Yan Ze called again. Huan Xu smiled a little helplessly and softly. The feeling of being treated as an important person and cared for all the time always makes people feel warm.
Before Yan Ze could speak, Huan Xu took the initiative to ask, "Is President Xiaoyan here to comfort me too?"
The author has something to say:
