Chapter 99
In front of the camera, Director Chen continued his interview. With a smile on his face, he posed a new question as if chatting casually:
"Okay, then, my second question. After all the discussion and brainstorming, I'd like to ask Mr. Yan, what do you think of our show?"
Yan Ze looked at the camera seriously and said, "It was very interesting and fun. Working alongside Director Huan, solving the case and catching the real culprit was also a great experience."
Director Chen's smile widened. "Hahaha, it's an honor for our crew to receive such high praise from a professional like you, President Yan."
"Then, one last question, President Yan, do you have anything to add?"
Yan Ze: “For example?”
Director Chen reminded, "If you think there's something good in the show, or if you think we haven't done enough, you can give us some suggestions for improvement. You can also say whatever you want to the audience. Ms. Yan is welcome to speak freely."
Yan Ze thought for a moment, then looked up at the camera again and spoke, uttering four words with a serious expression: "Huan Xu is fine."
Director Chen:?
audience:?
After a moment of pause, Director Chen reacted and took over the conversation with a smile, "Hahaha, it seems that President Yan and our Director Huan worked very well together in today's script-killing game. They really appreciate each other. I just passed by Director Huan's lounge, and I heard Director Huan also praise President Yan for the great play you and Teacher Dahei had."
[Boss Yan is really concise and to the point.]
Mr. Yan seemed rather aloof, but I didn't expect him to be such a polite young man. He even participated in the Xinghuo program and praised the program and Director Huan.
Even though the audience knew that this was actually a commercial compliment, they were still happy to hear Yan Ze praising their favorite variety shows and their favorite directors.
It's very simple, the things you like and love, and the happiness of being recognized.
Director Chen: "Continuing with the previous question, President Yan, is there anything else you would like to say?"
Although he still had something to say, Yan Ze didn't even need to think this time and said directly: "In addition to variety shows, the films and documentaries shot by Huan Xu are also very good. Guide Dogs is the first collaboration between Fenghuo and Xinghuo. I'm very happy to receive everyone's love."
Yes, that's right. The first collaboration between Xinghuo and Fenghuo and Huan Xu was not between Wan Zijia, but between Huan Xu and him - plus Dahei.
Director Chen's reaction this time was even faster than before. Although he didn't expect President Yan to give him so much face, he assured the audience based on his directorial career that there really was no script or advance rehearsal, and President Yan's praise for their Director Huan was definitely not instructed by the program crew.
At this moment, Director Chen felt the same as the audience, thinking to himself: President Yan is a very nice person. He just let him say whatever he wanted and then praised their Director Huan so much out of courtesy.
Whether it's sincere or not, praising Director Huan means he's one of our own.
Director Chen smiled and said, "From Mr. Yan's tone, you should have seen our Director Huan's film."
Yan Ze nodded without hesitation, thinking that it was natural.
Director Chen: "I wonder what Mr. Yan's favorite movie is? Is it Guide Dogs?"
Yan Ze nodded, then shook his head: "Guide Dogs is great, and so are the other films. They have different perspectives and different themes, and they are all excellent works."
[Boss Yan's words are truly impeccable.]
[Don't ask, it's all good, but I love to hear it.]
Director Chen asked again at the end: "Does President Yan have anything to say?" All the praises had been given, and Director Chen thought to himself: Their program is quite popular, and it should be worthy of President Yan to advertise for their own Fenghuo, and by the way, to attract votes for the awards later.
Not only Director Chen thought so, the audience also thought so. Then, Director Chen and the audience heard the familiar "Mr. Yan-style" answer.
"Thank you for your love for Mingtan and Huanxu. Please continue to support us."
[Okay, no problem.]
【Support, must support. 】
[No, wait, no one else noticed something strange?]
[If you don't know, you might think Mr. Yan is the boss of Xinghuo? ]
[We don't canvass for votes or promote ourselves. Fenghuo is a big company, so we don't need this little traffic. The problem is that President Yan is too immersed in the role and doesn't consider himself an outsider at all. It turns out he's a CEO who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Like Teacher Dahei, they both have a friendly personality. I wrongly blamed you, my domineering president.]
【Mr. Yan is particular about people.】
[Hahaha, the problem is that President Yan has interrupted our Director Chen.]
Isn’t it? Director Chen also wanted to thank the audience for their love at the end, and by the way, canvass for votes for his own director Huan.
My goodness, his job as a real Starfire detective director was snatched away by a guest and boss from another company.
After a moment of silence, Director Chen didn't dare let Ms. Yan speak again. He had a feeling that if he let Ms. Yan continue, she would reveal something big. Director Chen hurriedly ended the topic and the interview. All the words that should have been said were taken away. Director Chen finally said a panacea-style ending:
“I hope that Xinghuo and Fenghuo can continue to cooperate in the future and create even better works together.”
Yan Ze nodded and answered firmly: "I definitely will."
After listening to Director Chen's closing remarks, Yan Ze was actually still a little reluctant to leave. In fact, he could have continued to praise. Coming out of the studio, he immediately looked at Huan Xu who was waiting for him to have lunch together.
The two walked out side by side. Huan Xu smiled and said, "Have you put up an ad?"
It's not that Huan Xu is conceited. Just like what Director Chen thinks, the popularity of their variety show is now considered to be the top in the industry. In addition, there is no diversion of the same type of variety shows, which makes the popularity more concentrated. Even compared with some of the ace variety shows of the three major variety show departments where Yan Ze is, what it lacks is only some time and foundation. As the variety show continues to shoot and starts the second and third seasons, it will definitely be able to hold up the sky.
Huan Xu might be modest in front of outsiders, but Yan Ze is his good friend, and Huan Xu doesn't want to and has no need to hide it.
Hearing Huan Xu's question, Yan Ze nodded somewhat reservedly and said softly, "Yes, I just did it."
Huan Xu tilted his head and noticed that Xiaoyan's ears had turned a faint red again. He felt amused. The boss personally endorsed many of his products, so why was Xiaoyan shy about advertising for her own company? It was obvious that she was not very experienced in the business.
With the broadcast of Detective Conan Doyle 4, many new topics have emerged on the Internet.
However, there is still no appearance of the CP fans that Xiaoyan always expects. If you want to know why, the big black detective has strongly stolen the spotlight.
Because of Yan Ze's identity and the fact that he only appears in major official news reports, netizens are reluctant to make fun of this domineering boss who is said to have the power of life and death.
You said that although Assistant Yan looks a little cold, he doesn't seem that difficult to approach. Well, what is the relationship between Assistant Yan of the Big Black Detective and President Yan of Fenghuo?
In sharp contrast to the cold-faced boss is naturally the beloved teacher Daihei, who makes flowers bloom wherever he goes.
Under the guidance of a certain Huan fan group leader, the all-round assistant Gao, the Shuimu CP that Yan Ze had been looking forward to finally came together again.
In the screenshots of him and Huan Xu sympathizing with each other, Assistant Yan's face was also photoshopped with Teacher Dahei's wise dog head by the caring Secretary Gao, who was determined to maintain the brotherly relationship between the president and the idol. And relying on his status as a small cadre within the Huan family, it was spread among various fan groups.
From point to surface, and then radiating to the entire network.
There is no Mizuki CP. If you really want to support it, do you know about the CP of Director Huan and Detective Dahei?
In addition to Secretary Gao, Director Chen, who was also behind the scenes fanning the flames and controlling the direction of public opinion, also has great achievements and fame.
Director Chen had also heard some rumors about President Yan, that he was not interested in women, and neither was he interested in men, so he might be asexual. In addition, Director Huan and President Yan had a good personal relationship. In short, it was hoped that some official regulation would be carried out.
…
The hover car was parked outside the gate of an upscale residential complex. A new episode of "The Detective" had just finished playing on Huan Xu's computer screen in the car.
Huan Xu looked up at Yan Ze, his expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
He was not present when the last behind-the-scenes footage was filmed, so he didn't know what Yan Ze and Director Chen talked about. However, Huan Xu still remembered that when he was leaving, he casually asked Yan Ze if he had any advertisements. How did Yan Ze respond?
"Yes."
Huan Xu's understanding is that Xiaoyan is always advertising for Fenghuo. This is a very normal logic, and most people would definitely think so.
It turns out that Mr. Xiaoyan is not an ordinary person.
The other party did advertise for the company, but not for his own Fenghuo, but for their Xinghuo.
Advertise for Xinghuo and Huanxu in Xinghuo's variety show.
Meeting Huan Xu's gaze, Yan Ze, who had replayed the interview with Huan Xu in front of the camera, looked back calmly and innocently: "What's wrong?"
He's still asking what's wrong?
Huan Xu opened his mouth and then closed it again.
Seeing Yan Ze's calm demeanor, Huan Xu even suspected that he was overthinking it. Well, the other party was his good friend, advertising for them and praising him every other sentence during the interview. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with it... right?
Huan Xu: "Director Chen asked you to say whatever you want during the interview?"
Could it be that Director Chen had hinted to Yan Ze in advance?
Yan Ze nodded calmly, and said with a hint of pride: "Well, Director Chen told me to speak freely."
So speaking freely becomes his compliment.
Huan Xu: "So?"
Yan Ze lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the trace of embarrassment in his eyes, and said softly: "It was just a casual remark."
As Yan Ze lowered his eyes, his long, black eyelashes covered the usual coldness in his eyes like a small brush, making him look a little shy.
Why didn't you, Xiaoyan, show any shyness when I praised you so much in front of the big screen and so many audiences?
Huan Xu resisted the urge to hold his forehead.
"Then you should also advertise your own company."
The small black brush was raised again.
Yan Ze's distinct black and white eyes looked at Huan Xu again, with genuine confusion and doubt in them: "What?"
Fenghuo is our own company, and Xinghuo where Huan Xu is, well... isn't it the same?
Thinking of this, Xiaoyan turned her eyes away again with a slight flicker, looking out the window. Her eyelashes fluttered like the wipers on the car window, but she didn't dare turn her head to look at Huan Xu again.
Not only were his ears red, but the part of his neck exposed by the top of his suit shirt was also stained with a faint blush.
Yes, Yan Ze seems to be afraid of heat.
Huan Xu was puzzled as to why the temperature in the car seemed a bit high at the moment, and he also felt a bit hot.
"Let me turn the air conditioner down two degrees."
Yan Ze didn't know why Huan Xu's topic suddenly jumped to air conditioning and temperature, but he nodded virtuously and gave a serious affirmative answer: "Okay."
It seemed as if no matter what Huan Xu said, he would only give this one answer. It seemed that from the time they met until now, the other party had indeed never responded to any of his requests or ideas in a negative tone.
Huan Xu's gaze inadvertently fell on Yan Ze's row of slightly long eyelashes, which were like small brushes.
A word inexplicably popped up in my mind: beauty is a feast for the eyes.
Something is wrong.
Although he had thought about it more than once before, Yan Ze was good-looking, and even every detail of his appearance met his aesthetic standards, but that was also normal, the director's appreciation of the actor... I guess.
What was going on? He had just adjusted the temperature, but why did he still feel the car was a little hot?
Huan Xu raised his hand to loosen his tie and offered a new suggestion: "How about another two degrees?"
Yan Ze: "Well, I'll listen to you."
See, he agreed directly again. In fact, the temperature in the car was already very cold. As the two finished speaking, the wind blowing out of the air-conditioning vents seemed to be even colder.
Yan Ze in the back row seemed to have noticed this as well.
He did not stop Huan Xu from lowering the temperature, but after confirming it, he turned around and picked up a clean coat from the seat on the other side and handed it to Huan Xu.
"Don't catch a cold."
Huan Xu didn't know what he was thinking, and subconsciously raised his hand to take it: "Yes, thank you."
Secretary Gao in the front row: ...! No, you two, his wise and powerful boss and his wise and outstanding idol seem to be playing something very new.
Secretary Gao: I don’t understand.
But this is definitely not a problem between the boss and the idol, but rather that he, as a small secretary, is not standing high enough and cannot see the scenery that the two big guys see, so he does not understand their actions.
Just like ordinary people like Secretary Gao, when faced with the temperature inside the car, the choice is to lower the temperature if it is hot, and turn it back up if it is cold.
Adding a piece of clothing, this simple reaction and thinking would never have occurred to Secretary Gao if the president hadn't demonstrated it himself.
Secretary Gao sniffed and suddenly felt an itch in his nose as the cold wind had been blowing on his scalp, and he couldn't help but sneeze loudly.
Secretary Gao hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe his nose, and did not forget to quickly apologize to the two people in the back seat: "Sorry, sorry, I disturbed you two." Please continue to ignore him, this little invisible person.
Wait, isn't his wording a little off?
Huan Xu's IQ returned to normal after being brought back to his senses by Secretary Gao's sneeze.
Recalling the series of inexplicable behaviors just now, he concluded: No one is perfect. Even he himself would suddenly lose his IQ every once in a while and run away from home for a few minutes.
The one who should apologize is not Secretary Gao, but him and Yan Ze who both lost their minds.
As for his slightly quickened heartbeat, he would have to think about it carefully after returning...
Huan Xu apologized and turned the car's temperature back to normal. He also said to Secretary Gao, "Sorry, remember to drink a bowl of ginger tea when you get home to get rid of the cold."
Secretary Gao nodded with tears in his eyes: He is indeed his idol. After his IQ returned to normal, the first thing he did was to care about the situation of these passers-by.
Of course he would drink it, otherwise if he really caught a cold, his idol would definitely feel even more guilty.
Huan Xu and Secretary Gao, who was implicated by them for no reason, apologized and turned to look at Yan Ze.
President Xiaoyan's cold eyes still revealed the same clarity and wisdom as before, with an elite and ascetic look. However, when Huan Xu looked into those eyes, he vaguely saw a hint of Dahei's shadow from President Xiaoyan.
Huan Xu: "Go back and have a bowl of ginger tea."
Yan Ze nodded vigorously: "Yes, I love ginger tea the most."
Huan Xu...
Sure enough, Ms. Xiaoyan's IQ continues to be low.
Don't underestimate any director's insight.
I really thought he hadn't noticed. Although Xiaoyan seemed to have been deliberately trained and never wasted food, humans always have their own preferences. According to Huan Xu's observations and summary, a certain Jiang-named seasoning that was often disguised as other foods and mixed into dishes belonged to the type of food that Xiaoyan hated extremely. Well, in fact, Huan Xu himself didn't like it either.
When picking up their chopsticks, Yan Ze and Huan Xu would subconsciously avoid the ginger slices that looked unpleasant in taste and had a distinct shape.
However, there are always one or two mistakes. When a piece of ginger disguises itself as a mushroom or potato, it is accidentally picked up by chopsticks and eaten.
Most people will quickly pull out the restaurant paper, cover their mouths with it, and spit out the alien food before the smell can fully spread to the tip of their tongue and mouth.
Yan Ze would pause for a moment, then continue chewing as before, and then swallow the food quickly without letting other people at the table notice that he had been bitten.
People who are more familiar with Yan Ze might notice something unusual, but in their opinion, it should just be that Xiao Yan is in a slightly bad mood for some reason, which makes the air pressure around her lower and the colder she is.
Huan Xu, with his keen insight, was able to discover the deep hatred and despair hidden behind Xiaoyan's cold eyes.
Summary: There are a few things that must be said about the relationship between Xiaoyan and a certain seasoning with a strange taste. It can be summed up in four words: a blood feud.
Now he says that he loves drinking ginger tea the most. It is definitely because his IQ is in arrears and has not been replenished.
"Oh." Huan Xu sighed softly.
Thinking carefully back on the time we spent together, Xiaoyan's train of thought sometimes does seem different from that of ordinary people. I'm afraid that her IQ is probably offline at these times.
Although Huan Xu felt that Yan Ze was quite cute.
However, fortunately, it was me who discovered this point about Mr. Xiaoyan, not his business rival, otherwise it would have been easy for him to seize the opportunity to fall into a trap and suffer losses.
Huan Xu suddenly became worried that the other party would be bullied in the business world. As for the rumors about Yan Ze's ruthless business practices, Huan Xu's answer was: seeing is believing, there are too many outrageous rumors.
The hovercraft drove into an upscale residential area, lowered its altitude, and slowly stopped in front of a villa.
"Okay, get out of the car. Don't keep Master Fei waiting." Huan Xu put away his laptop. While waiting for the courtyard to open, Huan Xu whispered to Yan Ze, "I know you have good intentions and treat people well, but be more careful next time and don't let others take advantage of you."
Yan Ze continued to agree: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
It was natural for him to be nice to Huan Xu. As for the other people in the business world, they were not related to him and they were just competing fairly. Of course, he would listen to Huan Xu in the future and would never let other competitors take advantage of him.
According to Secretary Gao, it means: make a lot of money! And then hand over all your salary cards!
Standing behind Huan Xu, Xiaoyan unconsciously raised the corners of her lips slightly.
Huan Xu was just caring about him!
The weather is so nice today. The sun shines on people and it feels warm.
Huan Xu and Yan Ze were welcomed into the house by Master Fei's apprentice. Standing at the door, Master Fei's apprentice looked up at the dense dark clouds overhead and sighed sentimentally, "Oh, this is the cloudy day I hate the most!"
…
In the villa, Master Fei warmly invited Huan Xu and Yan Ze to sit down.
The gray-haired Master Fei stared at the two young men in front of him with excellent body proportions, nodding with satisfaction.
He and the "model" Yan Ze have known each other for a long time and have even customized many clothes for him.
As for Huan Xu, this was the first time the two of them met officially. However, before that, Master Fei had helped Huan Xu customize a dinner dress with elements of his mother planet at the request of his old friend, Mr. Dou, the director of the Institute of Ancient Studies.
Huan Xu came to Master Fei's house this time and also had a custom-made dress made to prepare for attending the Youtian and Haotianxing Carnival Night.
Huan Xu thanked him, "It's my honor to have Master Fei customize it for me. I also thank you for helping me during the last Cangtian Carnival Night."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Fei waved his hand. "I've heard that many designer masters from the Three Stars department, who are as famous as me, have contacted Director Huan before, wanting to design dresses for you for the Two Stars Carnival Night. Should I say that I'm able to work with Director Huan again, or that I'm just relying on Lao Dou and Xiaoyan's influence?"
"As for the previous one, although it was my father who asked me to do it, but to be honest, seeing Director Huan's images and works gave me a lot of new inspiration. Logically speaking, I made a profit."
Mr. Fei was telling the truth, and this time it was Mr. Fei who took the initiative to invite Huan Xu.
This was different from the last Blue Carnival Night, where Director Huan emerged as a dark horse and won several awards in a row.
Having won two stars and been nominated for four final awards, it can be predicted that no matter whether Huan Xu can finally stand on the podium and receive the only small gold cup, he is already the biggest winner of the carnival night. At that time, countless eyes and spotlights will be focused on this young and famous, talented and enchanting director.
Under the spotlight, every detail of Huan Xu's body will be magnified, from his clothes and makeup to any accessories.
It has been praised and even sought after by countless audiences.
This means that if his design can be worn by Director Huan, the human model, it will be the best promotion.
Of course, major fashion brands and personal tailors do not want to miss this opportunity.
And if Director Huan can win one of the major awards, according to the established rules, Director Huan will have the right to challenge the road of star director. Everyone also believes that Director Huan has been prepared for this moment. The previous filming of movies, web dramas, and variety shows were all preparations and warm-ups for challenging the road of star director.
Then the attention that Director Huan will receive will double again.
Master Fei knew that Huan Xu and Yan Ze had an appointment later, so he didn't waste any more time. After exchanging pleasantries, he took them to the studio on the second floor of his private villa.
Since Master Fei was invited to Cangtian Star by a good friend half a year ago and was baptized by the culture of his mother planet, he has temporarily settled in Cangtian Star and concentrated on studying the newly discovered fields.
The one who brought the culture of the mother planet to the public was none other than Director Huan.
Therefore, even though Master Fei's level in the field of design no longer requires external traffic, he still wants to design clothes for Huan Xu, a leader who leads the cultural trends of his home planet.
If Huan Xu is willing to wear the clothes designed by him that are representative of his home planet's culture, that would be the greatest recognition of his design and research.
Master Fei transformed the entire second floor of the villa into a private studio, with mannequins wearing clothes made of different materials.
The only thing in common is that these designed clothes all have more or less different elements of their home planets.
Plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, the gentlemen among flowers; brush, ink, paper and inkstone, the four treasures of the study; zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, the four virtues of a refined person...
Under the guidance of Master Fei, Huan Xu, Yan Ze, Secretary Gao, the president's special assistant, and the eldest disciple who also came from Juntian Star to follow Master Fei to learn skills, the five of them walked towards the center of the second floor.
It can be seen that there are designs that have not been shown under the thin gauze.
At Master Fei's signal, the blond, blue-eyed middle-aged disciple stepped forward and carefully removed the white cloth covering the model and the clothes.
Four mannequins wearing suits that combined interstellar design with neo-Chinese style appeared in front of everyone.
Secretary Gao dutifully uttered a cry of surprise.
The four models can be divided into two groups because their overall styles are roughly the same, with only slight differences in the patterns on the clothes.
Master Fei walked towards a group of models on the left, slightly adjusting the cuff of his suit sleeve while softly explaining to everyone:
"When designing these two dresses, I used the traditional Daxia elements of auspicious clouds and white cranes. In the poems of many Daxia poets, auspicious clouds and white cranes are also a classic combination and match, which set off and complement each other."
"The white cranes are singing in vain, and the auspicious clouds are just chaotic."
"A solitary cloud and a wild crane, how can they live in the human world?"
"A single crane soars above the clear sky, drawing poetic sentiments to the azure heavens." (Note)
"White cranes in the clouds, spreading their wings and dancing together, what a beautiful scene, what a great combination, isn't it?"
The author has something to say:
