Chapter 51 The first film

In September, all matters of Haoyue Media were basically settled and the personnel were in place.Gao Huan finally took a breath.It happened to be Gao Le’s graduation drama, and he asked Xiao Zuo to watch it together.

In the black box theater of the School of Drama, Gao Le and her classmates performed “Henry IV”, and she played the role of Prince Harry.

In the last scene, she wore a simplified royal robe, her hair was cut into a side-parted men’s haircut, and her back was turned to the audience:

“I know thee not, old man. Fall to thy prayers.”

Gao Huan and Xiao Zuo looked at each other, and they both saw surprise, appreciation and pride in each other’s eyes.

At this time, Gao Le slowly turned around, raised his chin, and continued with lowered eyes:

“How ill, white hairs be a fool and jester.”

Gao Huan really couldn’t imagine that his sister who was so arbitrary and ran back from Japan a few years ago stood under the light and became a completely different person.Calm and decisive, as if he had made a clean break with his past self.Although I know that actors have different faces, my family is still a little shocked.

After the curtain call, the audience applauded for a long time.

Gao Huan and Xiao Zuo also followed the actors backstage after they left the show. When Gao Le saw them, he ran over to give them a hug, and turned back into the noisy little girl: “You can see, I am not awesome!”

“My dear, you are great, I must learn the tone of this sentence,” Xiao Zuo put his arm around Gao Le’s shoulders and said exaggeratedly to Gao Huan, “Fall to thy prayers!”

The three of them were swaying with laughter when a voice came from behind Gao Huan: “My king. Isn’t it over yet?”

Gao Le waved: “Hey Julien, come here to meet my brother and my friends.”

The ceiling light in the backstage was very bright, and the light fell diagonally from above. Gao Huan turned around and saw the “Julien” in Gao Le’s mouth – short, with a narrow face, two light brown eyes that looked bigger, a little beard, wearing black clothes, with a literary and artistic atmosphere.

When Gao Huan shook hands with him, his heart was slightly shocked. The man in front of him reminded him of that person for a moment.It’s not a physical similarity, it’s a temperament.He couldn’t help but care.

When Julien shook hands with him, he lasted a few seconds longer than a normal handshake, keeping his eyes on him.It wasn’t until Gao Le started to introduce Xiao Zuo next to him that they looked away.

“Brother, the film I told you about before,” Gao Le continued to introduce, “was discussed with Julien.”

Four people went to an Italian restaurant in Soho.The store is small and has a low roof. There are posters of some classic Italian movies on the walls.

“Julien, where are you from in France?” After ordering the wine, Xiao Zuo became curious.

“Bordeaux.”

“Oh? Are you traveling with us?”

Julien smiled and did not deny it. He only took a sip of wine and said, “Not now.”

Xiao Zuo said “Oh” and joked: “Not now…then what kind of movies are you making now?”

Gao Huan didn’t talk to the side, but listened to the two of them carefully. He was also very interested in Julien’s current movements.

“I shoot whatever can pay the bills,” is a common saying, but Julien’s French accent makes it seem humorous, “movies, short films, commercials, music videos…”

“And your own movie,” Gao Le said, “You haven’t seen the black and white film he made when he was in school, and the teacher is still showing it as an example!”

The waiter then brought a bottle of Merlot from Bordeaux and poured a glass for everyone.Xiao Zuo first raised his glass: “To the king!”

The four of them clinked their glasses, and Gao Le continued: “Huanzi, hasn’t your Haoyue Media already been established? If you want to submit a short film, what do you usually watch? What is the process?”

When Julien heard the word “investment”, his eyes moved slightly. It was an almost instinctive reaction – but he quickly controlled it and looked at Gao Huan as casually as possible.

Gao Huan put down his glass of wine, smoothed his hair with his hand, and tried to make the process as simple as possible: “We haven’t officially started investing yet, but the process is roughly as follows – first submit the project overview, script, and director’s explanation, then look at the resume of the director and team, and then conduct an internal evaluation. After approval, we will discuss the budget and investment structure, and finally sign the contract and start filming.”

“I already have the project outline and script ready-made,” Gao Le’s energy suddenly rose, and he turned to Julien and said, “Julien, prepare the director’s outline and resume. I and others will also prepare resumes.”

“No problem.” Julien nodded, then turned to look at Gao Huan with a smile.

The glance lasted very briefly, but Gao Huan saw something inexplicable in the reflection of those shallow eyes.He subconsciously looked away, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Xiao Zuo also took a sip of wine and rolled his eyes: “I thought it was a celebration party, but it turned out to be the Art Business Bureau.”

“Haha, yes, it’s the Art Business Bureau,” Gao Le hugged Gao Huan’s shoulders, “I have to rely on my brother to throw money at me now.”

Gao Huan shook off her hand and said disgustedly: “To be clear, your brother doesn’t spend money.”

“Oh, I’m applying to your company officially.”

That night, Julien returned to the east side and shared a small two-bedroom apartment with others.There were no lights on in the room, and the neon lights outside the window filtered through the gaps in the curtains and reflected faintly on the floor.

He sat on the edge of the bed, picked up his phone, and typed: Haoyue Media.

The words on the screen jumped out line by line. His fingertips paused in the light for a few seconds, and then slid slowly, his eyes becoming more and more focused.Photos of Gao Xuefeng, photos of Gao Huan when he was in school, news about private school groups… The light from the mobile phone screen shone slightly in the darkness, illuminating his narrow face. The corners of his mouth curved up little by little, as if he had discovered something precious.

Banxia novel, a lot of fun
