Chapter 100
Master Fei's old hands slowly stroked the hem of his clothes. This was the cloud pattern he had embroidered stitch by stitch, following the methods of his ancestors.
"The auspicious cloud pattern on this dress designed for Xiaoze is like clouds gently caressing the ancient charm of thousands of years. I've researched a lot and found auspicious cloud patterns on the clothing of many kings in Daxia. They are elegant and noble, and even more auspicious and perfect."
A ray of sunlight slowly fell. As Master Fei's fingers trembled, Huan Xu whispered, "The color seems to have changed."
Originally, this was a little surprise prepared by Master Fei. Now that Huan Xu noticed this detail, Master Fei didn't hide it anymore. He smiled and said,
"Yes, the design here is a result of some of my careful considerations. I used a double-layered design with light and dark lines. While recreating the smooth lines of clouds, I also added a slight sense of layering. It's like the outside world's evaluation of Xiaoyan. The nobleness is enhanced by a touch of mystery and unpredictability of a high position."
"How about it?"
The few of them applauded in tacit understanding, not as a compliment. From Master Fei's expression, it could be seen that this cloud-patterned dress was clearly his masterpiece. In the eyes of Huan Xu and the others, this dress was equally noble.
Especially...
Huan Xu tilted his head to look at Yan Ze and said with a smile, "It suits you very well."
Although Yan Ze hasn't tried it on yet, Huan Xu can vaguely imagine that when Yan Ze puts on the suit, with his figure that is even better than a model's, the suit and the Xiaoyan wearing it will always complement each other. On the night of the two-star carnival night, beautiful photos of the handsome, noble and impressive bachelor Xiaoyan will be everywhere.
The three stars merged. Even though Fenghuo was only one of the three major stars in Cangtian Star, it also had a significant influence in other stars. As the young presidents of Fenghuo, Hao Lanye and You Lanye certainly could not be absent. At that time, several company presidents representing the leading film and television industries of the other two stars would also be present.
As for the comparison pictures between President Xiaoyan and other presidents being widely circulated on Starnet, that is a story for later.
Before coming, Huan Xu also heard that the dresses he and Yan Ze were wearing were custom-made by Master Fei.
But he didn't expect that the dresses this time were the same as those in Canglan Ye Shi. The dresses that Master Fei customized for the two of them were once again matching.
Hmm, what’s the word…bro outfit.
Not bad.
Meeting Huan Xu's admiring gaze, Yan Ze clenched the hand hanging by his side. This time, he didn't dodge or avoid the gaze. Instead, he focused on the shorter Huan Xu and whispered, "It suits you, too."
Master Fei chose the auspicious cloud pattern for Yan Ze, and the white crane dress from the same series with different patterns was designed by him for Huan Xu.
Huan Xu and the others also followed Yan Ze's gaze and shifted their sights to Master Fei's right hand side.
The overall design concept and shape of the dress are consistent with Yan Ze's. However, in addition to the different patterns, Master Fei also used some "little tricks" in the details.
The inner shirt also uses Chinese-style buttons designed by Gu Xia.
As for the pattern, it is a white crane spreading its wings, which looks lifelike, as if it can dance out from the lapels at any time.
Master Fei proudly explained the meaning of the symbol to everyone: "The white crane represents nobleness and auspiciousness, symbolizing transcendental elegance and agility. It embodies the unique charm and soul of Huan Dao."
"The suit's fabric is stiff yet soft, fitting the body better. Whether walking the red carpet or stepping onto the podium, he exudes ease, elegance, and confidence, just like Director Huan strolling among the clouds and water, dancing with the white cranes, tranquil and at ease."
"Unmoved by praise or criticism, I leisurely watch the flowers in the courtyard bloom and fall; unconcerned about coming or going, I casually follow the clouds in the sky."
"I've watched the footage of Director Huan's first Carnival Night over and over again. Your calm demeanor has me sighing with admiration countless times. It was from this that I first came up with the idea of the white crane, unfazed by praise or criticism, and then designed this set of auspicious clouds and white cranes."
Huan Xu: "Master Fei, you are too kind."
Master Fei blinked and joked, "At my age, there's no need to lie. I'm just speaking from the heart."
Master Fei turned and walked towards another dress, a step behind. Yan Ze bowed slightly, moved closer to Huan Xu and whispered, "Master Fei is right."
Huan Xu: ...
As for the combination of the other set of clothes, the elements cited by Master Fei were also something Huan Xu had not expected.
It is not as well-known as the classic traditional national trend style combination.
However, it is also a classic and even amazing part of ancient Xia culture.
——Dunhuang style.
A gem in the desert, beautiful and brilliant.
Dunhuang culture originated in the Former Qin period of the Sixteen Kingdoms and is an important node on the ancient Silk Road. Eastern and Western cultures converged there to form the unique Dunhuang culture. After evolution and development through dynasties, it gradually formed a complete and spectacular cultural landscape.
The most famous of these are probably the murals, stone carvings, and sculptures in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang.
The Dunhuang style is famous for its bright colors, such as red, blue, and green. These colors are vividly displayed in the murals. The converging patterns and lines have a unique charm. Patterns such as flying apsaras, lotus flowers, and curling grass, and smooth and varied lines all demonstrate the ancient artists' superb skills and rich imagination.
In addition, Dunhuang style often incorporates elements such as religion and folk customs.
Huan Xu said softly, "The Ancient Silk Road, centered around Dunhuang."
At the same time, Yan Ze also whispered: "Practice polishing, hammering and polishing."
Huan Xu and Yan Ze were both stunned, and they subconsciously turned to look at each other.
Master Fei heard what the two said, and after a brief pause, he suddenly clapped loudly: "Excellent, excellent."
The remaining Secretary Gao and Lance, two uneducated interstellar humans, looked at each other, transformed themselves into applause machines and followed Master Fei in clapping. Although they didn't understand, they just clapped their hands hard.
Ten minutes later, Huan Xu and Yan Ze got into the hovercraft again.
They were "kicked out" by Master Fei.
It is said that Master Fei got new inspiration from the two people's comments. He suddenly felt that there was room for improvement in the two dresses that he had previously thought were very well designed.
As a master of fashion design, he must strive for perfection in the clothes he designs. If he doesn't do it, then don't do it. But if he does it, he must do it to the best of his ability. He will not present his unfinished products to the audience.
The door closed in front of the two of them. Master Fei was inspired and started a new round of wonderful designs. Lance apologized and sent them out the door.
As a fellow creator, though not in the same industry, Huan Xu, who had similar experiences, was no stranger to Master Fei's state. He waved his hand and said softly, "Don't worry about it."
There are still a few days before the actual start of Carnival Night. With Master Fei's ability and his current state of working day and night, it is estimated that it won't take long for the costumes to be modified and produced before Carnival Night.
As for Yan Ze, Huan Xu narrowed his eyes slightly. He only knew that his good friend was very interested in the culture of the mother planet and was a semi-amateur collector. However, he did not expect that Yan Ze's understanding of the mother planet's culture might be even deeper than he thought, and his cultural attainments were also very high.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to make the comments I just made.
Huan Xu actually thought of such a person.
Yan Ze shook hands with Huan Xu in the hovercraft and looked at him with a little uneasiness, the silent Huan Xu.
"you……"
"I……"
Yan Ze spoke up to break the silence in the hovercraft. However, the domineering CEO who always left others speechless in the business world didn't know what to say at this moment. He uttered two interjections and then fell silent again.
Huan Xu turned to look at Yan Ze and suddenly said, "Have you heard of Teacher Xingchen? He's an excellent film critic."
Not only had he heard of it, but Yan Ze, who had watched the third season of Detective, also knew the other party's real identity.
"younger brother."
Secretary Gao, who remained silent throughout the whole process and tried to reduce his presence, nodded secretly. Teacher Xingchen, that is, Director Huan's younger brother Gu Chen. The president of the company omitted the title, so it seemed right to just call him brother.
Huan Xu didn't dwell on Yan Ze's concise address. He narrowed his eyes again and continued:
"When I was interviewed by Canglan Report before, netizens asked me a difficult question."
"They especially want to know who is the highest-ranking film critic in my heart, Xingchen or Taihang."
"I didn't give a direct answer at the time, but actually now I already have the answer in my heart."
Huan Xu turned his gaze towards Yan Ze: "Xiaoyan, are you always curious? Do you want to know?"
"……Um."
Not just curious, but also a little nervous.
Who will Huan Xu answer? His brother or him?
In the back seat, Yan Ze nodded slightly with an attitude that was even more cautious than when he first engaged in formal business negotiations.
"I want to know."
"Well, after all, Xiao Gu is my younger brother. From an older brother's perspective, even if my child isn't that outstanding, he's still the best in my eyes..."
Listening to Huan Xu's words, the pressure around Yan Ze became increasingly low, and his heart gradually sank.
Although he knew that this was a ridiculous comparison, especially when comparing with Huan Xu's younger brother, he shouldn't have such a strong desire to win. As an older brother, he should give in to his younger brother like Huan Xu did. However, after hearing Huan Xu's words, he still felt a little disappointed.
The corners of his pursed lips were slightly pressed down.
Yan Ze opened his mouth. His brain and reason told him that he should agree with Huan Xu, but emotionally he didn't want to admit that he had lost.
"I……"
However, before Yan Ze could finish his words, Huan Xu's voice, tinged with laughter, rang out softly, "Xiao Gu is even better than I thought. As his brother, I'm proud and happy for him."
"But I didn't expect that another film critic who is just as good as Xiao Gu and who makes me curious is actually hiding beside me."
"Teacher Taihang, do you think this is another kind of fate?"
Yan Ze looked up suddenly and met Huan Xu's mischievous smile.
Secretary Gao, who was driving in front, accidentally slammed on the brakes again. What happened? Taihang, who, his boss?
Huan Xu's lips opened and closed as he whispered, "This is truly a question without an answer. From a personal perspective, Xingchen and Taihang are both important people to me. Putting aside these identities, from a purely professional perspective, they are both equally outstanding and on par with each other."
After a brief silence, Yan Ze spoke softly, his voice carrying a subtle hint of grievance: "Originally, I wanted to participate in the Detective under the identity of Taihang, but I didn't receive an invitation."
That's why he had to rely on Dahei's help, otherwise he would have been exposed on the show just like Xingchen.
It wasn't like he was trying to hide it.
The Taihang account already existed before Huan Xu started filming movies. Even before Yan Ze met Huan Xu, the first movie he saw was one shot by Huan Xu.
Later, just like Gu Chen, I kept struggling and couldn't figure out when to tell anyone.
Huan Xu smiled and nodded: "Yes, I know."
So, there is no need to explain to him.
The two naturally started new topics, focusing on film reviews and the culture of their home planet.
Secretary Gao silently resumed driving smoothly. Did the boss and Director Huan accept it so calmly? He was indeed making a fuss out of nothing. He deserved to be a secretary.
In fact, Huan Xu was surprised at first, but after thinking about it carefully, Taihang was Yan Ze, and it seemed that Yan Ze's answer and identity were not so surprising. After all, if it was Yan Ze, there seemed to be no problem at all, and it also fits his imagination of the silent film critic with a mountain portrait.
Something deep in my heart seemed to be touched again.
…
As the carnival night approaches, various film and television companies also set off for Haotian Star to participate in the upcoming carnival night.
The Spark Artist Department also followed suit.
There were many artists from Xinghuo participating in the carnival night, plus the heavyweight player Director Huan. Manager Ye simply waved his hand and contracted a small private starship to avoid confusion during the flight.
Under the attention of the public, Haotian’s carnival night has arrived.
Even though there is a time difference of several hours with Youtian and Cangtian, most people on the two stars have adjusted their clocks early and are watching their screens on time.
Countless floating cameras took off, and a multi-channel live broadcast platform was opened.
As the first hover car slowly landed, two local movie stars from Haotian Star walked onto the red carpet hand in hand, kicking off the carnival night.
After all, the time of the merger is short. Many of the artists Cangtian and Youtian are not familiar to the audience, and they don’t even know them. But it doesn’t matter. They are responsible for acting as the atmosphere group. Haotian’s family members are excited in the front, and they just follow and cheer from behind.
And when some of the excellent domestic actors who have already left the stars walk onto the red carpet, the people of Cangtian and Youtian will also make unparalleled shouts and screams. At this time, Haotian's family will also give warm applause to the actors and directors next door to express their welcome.
As a social animal, the love of crowds is a genetic factor engraved in human genes.
[I'm looking forward to meeting my family. My blood is boiling with excitement.]
Where are the artists from Spark Entertainment?
[Where's Director Huan? Remember the wonderful appearance at the Cangtian Carnival Night when Director Huan led the handsome men and beautiful women of Xinghuo No. 1 Middle School?]
[Xinghuo must have prepared a surprise for today. Honestly, Director Huan's makeup is the part of tonight's carnival I'm most looking forward to.]
[Oh, by the way, is Director Huan still walking the red carpet alone tonight?]
[This is what the news released on the Spark official website said.]
[Wow, my Huan is really cool and noble! ]
"If I could walk the red carpet with Director Huan, wouldn't I be so happy?"
[I saw Xinghuo's hovercar enter.]
Not only did the audience look forward to Huan Xu and the Xinghuo group's wonderful debut show, but the official host of Haolan Carnival Night also joined in on the meme.
From a distance, I saw the first hovercraft with the Spark logo coming into sight and about to stop.
Before the two actors in the first car left the stage, the host of Haolan Carnival Night joked to the camera:
"Let's see what kind of fashion trend Director Huan will lead this year."
In the hovercraft, the two sisters who had agreed to walk the red carpet together held each other's hands. Wu Qianying felt Ji Xiaowan's slightly trembling body, reached out and gently patted her head, and said softly:
"Don't be afraid, Xiaowan. I'm here. If your legs become weak, just lean on me and I'll help you walk. And even if you fall, it's okay. We have Director Huan to support us. We will definitely be the most beautiful."
"Thank you, Qianqian. Well, I'll support you for a while, and you can also support me. Let's do it together."
Wu Qianying comforted Ji Xiaowan. Ji Xiaowan could also feel that Wu Qianying was actually nervous, and her hands were also very cold at the moment.
Not wanting to worry her friends or make any mistakes, Ji Xiaowan turned and smiled at Wu Qianying, encouraging both Wu Qianying and herself.
"Qianqian, you're right. We are the most beautiful today, so in order to leave no regrets, let's fill the entire internet with our beautiful photos. We will definitely be able to enter smoothly."
The first person to get off the bus was Wu Qianying, who was more experienced and cleared the way for the younger sisters.
Audiences across the internet are also discussing the list of groups that will walk the red carpet.
[The list includes Qianqian and Wanwan walking the red carpet together! ]
[Sister combination, looking forward to it! ]
"Okay, next up coming is our girl group from Xinghuo. Let's take a look at their makeup looks today..."
With Wu Qianying's appearance, the overwhelming barrage of comments on the screens of various live broadcast rooms actually paused for a moment, which was enough to show the netizens' astonishment.
She stepped onto the red carpet barefoot, with a cape draped over her shoulders, long pleats fluttering in the wind. The classic red and blue skirt was set off by gold, making it even more eye-catching. She wore exquisite accessories on her head, neck, arms and ankles.
Holding the lotus in her bare hands, she steps lightly on the clear sky.
The colorful dress with wide belts flutters and ascends to the sky. (Note)
To sum up, it is very gorgeous and dazzling.
That's right, the costume Huan Xu finally chose to attend the Haotian Carnival Night was the one with Dunhuang style elements that Master Fei spent three days redesigning and modifying.
He also knew that many viewers on the Internet were looking forward to what kind of image Xinghuo would appear in on the red carpet this time. Inspired by Master Fei, Huan Xu finally decided to replace one of the images and chose to let the entire Xinghuo walk in the majestic Dunhuang style tonight, reflecting a brilliant page in the aesthetics of Daxia clothing.
Especially the Dunhuang Flying Apsaras, which are unforgettable once you see them.
The set that Wu Qianying wore was exactly the skirt-style one of the two major categories of Feitian costumes.
The upper body is bare, and she wears a scarf and a long skirt with a zigzag hem. The scarf is wrapped around her left and right arms, and her shoulders are symmetrically extended to form a circle behind her. She wears a bun, a crown, a necklace, and bracelets.
Before the audience could marvel at Wu Qianying’s first fairy-like makeup, another visual shock followed!
Ji Xiaowan was wearing a tube top, and her lower body was long and soft, making it hard to tell whether it was a skirt or pants. Beads and necklaces were wrapped around her waist, fluttering in the wind.
Compared with the one worn by Wu Qianying, it is no less eye-catching.
The two fairies in flying robes looked at each other.
It's like a fairy who came from a desolate mountain and fell into the world along the Silk Road.
I knew Director Huan would give me a surprise, but I didn't expect it to be a shock.
[This is so beautiful! Oh my god, where did these two fairy sisters come from, and where are they going?]
[I'd like to know the name of this makeup set. I haven't seen it in Director Huan's works before.]
[Mother Planet Culture yyds, every time I think I've understood it well enough, it still gives me an even bigger surprise. It's so beautiful, so breathtaking.]
[I’d like to quote a newly learned ancient poem to describe my feelings at this moment: The clouds resemble clothes, the flowers resemble faces!]
And in the host's interview, the audience also got a two-word keyword: "Dunhuang."
【Remember, Dunhuang.】
【Exotic and mysterious.】
【Gorgeous and gorgeous.】
With the appearance of other female artists of Xinghuo, the audience suddenly realized that their understanding of Dunhuang culture and the culture of their motherland was still too narrow.
[Sexy and charming, yet also classic and dignified.]
[Elegant and simple, dreamy and ethereal, playful and smart, as long as you can imagine, nothing is impossible.]
Compared to the stunning outfits of the female guests of Starfire, the outfits of the male guests, although equally eye-catching, are a bit simple.
Standing in front of the camera and being interviewed by the host, Qin Dongxiao generously shared his outfit: "Don't underestimate me. This is a round-necked lanting, a futou on my head, a leather belt around my waist, and black leather boots. It's a reproduction of the four-piece male costume from the lower right corner of the north cloak in the main chamber of Cave 31 of Mogao Grottoes."
Walking the red carpet with Qin Dongxiao was his partner, Lin Yi, who often had a love-hate relationship with Qin Dongxiao in the script-killing drama. He also looked at the camera and smiled and explained: "Yes, my outfit is also a reproduction of the prince's costume on the south side of the east wall of the main room of Cave 103 in the Mogao Grottoes during the High Tang Dynasty."
"The clothes and costumes that everyone in Xinghuo wears today are all restored based on historical pictures. Anyone interested can search on Xinghuo.com. They are truly unique treasures."
Of course, Huan Dao is not a person who favors one over the other.
Flying fairy hairstyle is not just for girls.
"In fact, our boy group also has makeup and styling for flying costumes. The subsequent Dunhuang-style suit photos will be released on the Xinghuo official website."
"Everyone can look forward to it."
There is no doubt that Xinghuo Entertainment once again grabbed the biggest traffic on the red carpet with its unique mother star makeup and became one of the big winners of tonight's carnival night.
[Wait, I think I saw Daikoku-sensei's name on the Starfire personnel list as well.]
[Even though Mr. Dahei is from Fenghuo, our award nominations are from Xinghuo, so there's nothing wrong with following Xinghuo.]
"I'm just curious. Dahei walked the red carpet with our Spark delegation, but where's Assistant Yan?"
Good question.
As the president of Fenghuo, although Yan Ze also wanted to walk the red carpet with Huan Xu as a family member, he also had his own responsibilities and obligations.
Yan Xiaoan, who was riding in a hover car with the Spark logo and would enter the venue with Dahei as his agent, proudly sent his brother an emoticon of a big pig's hoof.
Damn brother, so what if he used tricks to snatch her chance to attend the celebrity Detective?
At the critical moment, she sat together with Heihei and the Huo family, thinking of one thing and cheering for Director Huan, hoping that Director Huan would win the final grand prize tonight.
Seeing the emoticon package sent to him by Yan Xiaoan, Yan Ze closed the picture expressionlessly. It was another day when he wanted to block a certain girl.
Since walking the red carpet with Xinghuo's team, Dahei also wore a red hat of the Little Prince of the Western Regions that Huan Xu specially selected for it.
Facing the cameras surrounding him, Dahei shook his head happily with a smug look on his face, which made Yan Ze, who was waiting in the hovercraft, couldn't help but raise his hand to hold his forehead.
Director Chen, Director Zheng and Director Guo Qingyun, who has just joined Spark and made his mark, walked the red carpet together on behalf of the Spark director department. Although they were wearing the same formal dresses, they had the same Spark medal with Dunhuang style pinned on their chest brooches. Under the sunlight, the sparkling gems sparkled and stimulated the audience's eyes.
[Ahhh, Zheng Dadao, Chen Gaoshi, and Qingyun Jushi, the three brothers of the Spark Directorial Department make a brilliant appearance! ]
[Zheng Dadao, you've really screwed me over.]
【Chen is no less troublesome! 】
[Our Qingyun Lay Buddhist is the most Buddhist. The Buddha said: abandon darkness and embrace light, and you will ascend to the sky! ]
Everyone from Xinghuo walked by one by one, and the hovercraft carrying Director Huan, the backbone of everyone, our favorite, the most anticipated, nominated for two major awards and several minor awards, finally stopped.
【Here he comes, that man finally comes. 】
