    Chapter 56 Germination

    The fine editing of “Hertz” has also come to an end. Gao Le and Julien sit in the studio all day every day.The two people repeatedly modified the shots and editors for one second or even several frames. It seemed that trimming off some corners of the shots would make the world on the screen more suffocating and more like a world where “the end of the world is within.”

    Gao Huan came to visit the team one day. They were cutting the black scene before the reversal. Julien said to the air: “If there can be a little more sound processing here… it would be perfect.”

    Gao Le turned to look at Gao Huan, and then said to Julien sitting next to him: “You mean to add more sounds?”

    “How should I put it? This will make it sound like a real movie.” Julien said in a low voice, looking at the black on the screen.That voice sounded too much like the words “I want to go far” lying on Gao Huan’s shoulder that night.

    Gao Huan blurted out: “Okay.”

    Gao Le raised her eyebrows. Of course she knew what “additional” meant, but when she looked back and saw her brother’s face filled with inexplicable happiness, she felt it was logical – her brother cherished his talent and loved her at the same time.Completely unaware of the possibilities in the other direction.

    It was Grace who first noticed the change in Gao Huan.

    Originally, just talking about cooperation with platforms in Germany and France was already very busy.It stands to reason that since he has started to work as a producer in the past few months, he should be more haggard.But the whole person seemed more energetic.Even the little belly that had accumulated due to overwork disappeared inexplicably, and my hair was cut short, and the lines of my whole body became clearer.The most obvious thing is his eyes. Gao Huan’s eyes used to have an unconscious dimness, but recently when he talks, his eyes are like a pool of clear water under the sun, quiet but shining.

    One morning, when Gao Huan entered the office, his scarf was only wrapped around his neck a little, and the remaining part was trailing messily on the ground.He didn’t notice it at all. He lowered his head and wrote something on his mobile phone while walking, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but turn up.

    Seeing this scene, Grace sighed quietly in her heart: She is in love.And it’s the passive one.

    Of course she didn’t ask directly. Just like she didn’t talk about her own family affairs, she wouldn’t ask more about other people’s affairs as long as the other party didn’t tell them.

    But in fact, Gao Huan has been in a kind of narcissistic happiness recently, which is almost overflowing.He has never experienced a long-term, stable love relationship, and he wants to shout to everyone every day: “I’m in love!”

    Originally, he would touch his phone every morning when he woke up to see if there were any emails from China. But now, he would subconsciously open the chat history with someone and review it.He wanted to tell others about this several times, but he also knew that his and Julien’s status and status were not suitable for publicity within the company.But in his mind, he simulated someone asking: “Have you been in love recently?” Then he said “hmm” in an understatement, so he no longer had to hide it.

    It’s a pity that no one asked, so he finally couldn’t help it and asked Xiao Zuo out.

    In the wine room of the Chelsea family they had been to before, it was another familiar place for Xiao Zuo.At seven-thirty in the evening, the lights are dim, which is a good time to talk privately about half-truths and half-truths.

    Gao Huan ran through what he wanted to say in his mind: first talk about his recent talks with the European platform, and then slowly turn the topic to the identity of the producer, and then naturally lead to “There is a person…” and the like.But he ignored one situation – Xiao Zuo always spoke in high gear, and it was difficult for the conversation to follow the rhythm he envisioned.

    “Do you remember that reporter who wrote about your family buying a school?” Xiao Zuo said this sentence without even taking a breath after ordering a drink, “It’s completely dark now.”

    “What do you mean?”

    “Most of the newspapers that had contracts with him have terminated their contracts with him.”

    Gao Huan thought of Wang Yuan’s series of actions at that time, and this result was not unexpected.

    “He spends all his time online slandering China. He thinks he is an internet celebrity, but in fact he doesn’t have many followers. He doesn’t know how he makes a living.”

    “Oh…” Gao Huan picked up the wine glass, touched it lightly with Xiao Zuo, and took a sip, wanting to start his tonight’s theme.

    However, Xiao Zuo’s gossip is not over yet, and it is even more serious.

    “By the way, I don’t know if Gao Lexiao knows that the director of her movie…that Frenchman, what is his name?”

    “Julien.” Gao Huan thrust forward instinctively, but the movement was so small that it was almost unnoticeable.

    “Yes, I heard about him recently. I need to remind Gao Le to stay away from him.”

    Gao Huan tried his best not to look any different, but actually his back felt a little cold.

    “When he was shooting commercials two years ago, he got the opportunity through a friend’s introduction to a beautiful cameraman. He immediately got into a passionate relationship with this girl. You know, the French way, if you don’t pay attention, you will fall into it.” Xiao Zuo became more and more enthusiastic as he talked, “He is still very professional, but everyone on the set can still see that these two people are having a heated relationship. This Julien doesn’t shy away from it, and he just follows her home after work.”

    “What happened next?” Hearing this, Gao Huan unconsciously began to make some excuses for Julien in his mind. For example, bisexuality is normal, and falling in love at work is also reasonable.

    “As soon as the commercial was finished, he disappeared directly. The girl didn’t reply to messages or answer phone calls,” Xiao Zuo paused, obviously excited, “The friend who introduced him to the girl asked questions, but he said it was just a work relationship and he is busy with other things now.”

    Gao Huan tried his best to keep his breathing steady, but the excuse he had just made in his mind no longer made sense at this moment.

    “In fact, this French guy met a producer through this girl, and he immediately pounced on him and left the girl aside. After playing with him a few times, the producer didn’t take him seriously, so he might have figured out who he was. After that, there was no story.” Xiao Zuo shrugged and took a sip of wine.

    “These,” Gao Huan endured the disgust of others saying this to Julien and asked, “Who did you listen to?”

    “It’s the producer himself. I know a few people who work in film and television. I haven’t introduced you to Peter before, but he’s still working as a business manager for you now.”

    “I really want to talk to Gao Le,” he said in an extremely calm tone, “tell her to be more careful at work.”

    He didn’t want to believe a word of what Xiao Zuo said, but this media circle ukiyo-e was stuck in his throat like a fish bone, unable to go up or down, dry and painful.

    He was desperately trying to find reasons for Julien:

    Maybe the girl herself is just wishful thinking?

    Maybe he didn’t know what he wanted at the time?

    Maybe the producer deliberately discredited him?

    But these thin walls of “maybe” cannot block the sharpest and cruelest fact: it is entirely possible that Julien is repeating the same behavior, such as towards himself right now.

    He sat up straight, his shoulders and back tense, and he didn’t mention the sentence “I recently had someone…” all night long.He was even a little lucky that Xiao Zuo spoke first and that he didn’t talk nonsense in the office.

    When I left the wine room, it was almost eleven o’clock.After saying goodbye to Xiao Zuo, I looked at my phone and saw a new voice:

    “The film will be finished soon. If you are free tomorrow… I want you to come and take a look. You will like it.”

    The warmth in the voice made the thorn in Gao Huan’s throat loosen, and it seemed that it didn’t hurt so much anymore.He felt that he should wait a while before replying, or not reply tonight, but he failed, and replied with three words:

    【See you tomorrow.】
