About his past glory, Huo Qi didn’t want to mention it, and besides, he had willingly given up that particular award. Some things just couldn’t be clearly explained at the moment.
Jack put his arm around his shoulder, "Huo, I think you shouldn’t put your career on hold for A, it’s such a waste of your talent. Look at you now, as soon as you start focusing on your own business, you begin to shine."
"Thanks for the compliment, I’ve moved on from him."
Jack was skeptical, "Really, back when you two were in the circle, you were quite famous, it was hard not to know even if one didn’t want to. It’s just unexpected that you would come to such an irreconcilable point."
Yuran was all ears. So Huo Qi had a romance here, and it sounded quite intense, but why didn’t they stay together?
She batted her eyes at Bo Yan and whispered gossip into his ear. Bo Yan chuckled, "Are you that curious?"
Yuran shook her head, "Not really curious, it’s just that I think Huo Qi is quite nice. The person who let him go will definitely regret it in the future."
Bo Yan just smiled without a word. Before, when he saw that Huo Qi got along well with Yuran, he hadn’t instructed Xie Cheng to do anything, yet Xie Cheng had already dug up everything there was to know about him. There were things Yuran didn’t know that he was very clear about. However, he wasn’t sure how to broach the topic with Yuran. After all, he couldn’t just tell her, "Your friend is gay, and his lover is your master."
However, speaking of regretting in the future, that was indeed true.
Even though it seemed as if Huo Qi couldn’t let go of the relationship and hated Ao Chen because he couldn’t let go of him, it was probably more accurate to say that Ao Chen hadn’t yet realized how important Huo Qi was to him. There would be trouble in the future.
"Hmm, Mrs. Bo’s words are correct, there will be regret on the other side in the future."
Upon hearing this, Yuran felt that something wasn’t right. It was like knowing some secret. She studied Bo Yan’s expression earnestly but couldn’t discern anything. Bo Yan laughed, "What are you looking at?"
Yuran stared at him intently, "Qi-ge, do you know the real gossip about Huo Qi? Share it with me."
Bo Yan laughed, arching an eyebrow at her face so close to his, "Do you really want to know?"
Yuran stared at him for a good while then shook her head, "Never mind, never mind, I think it’s not something good. I’d rather not know it for now."
Bo Yan laughed with a snort, "You."
Meanwhile, after Huo Qi finished his conversation with others, he went to check the pre-shoot makeup photos with the photographer. The photos, enhanced with special effects, looked enchanting like a creature from another planet, fitting well with the movie theme.
Recently, Ao Chen had been secluding himself to write songs related to the movie, so Huo Qi meant to release the makeup photos first.
He selected three photos and called over the two who were dawdling nearby, "Yuran, Great Movie Emperor Bo, come and take a look at the makeup photos. I’ve selected a few, you decide which one to release.
I’ll announce it officially from my side, then you can follow up with the promotion, just go through the motions."
The two of them then walked over.
Huo Qi, as the director, definitely had his own aesthetic style. The six photos he chose were all good, showcasing Yuran as the feminist autocrat through different eras, and Bo Yan’s too, whose cheap clothes couldn’t hide his commanding presence.
The photos were captured with great texture.
Yuran thought for a moment, "Actually, we don’t need to stick to releasing just one publicity photo. I think if we can use them all, then we should release them in phases. And at the very end, we can release the final makeup photo. On one hand, it subtly informs the audience of the timeline, and on the other hand, I think it can keep the heat going."
Bo Yan thought the suggestion was feasible and nodded. "That’s not bad. You can pick two more sets of photos and report in five phases. This really is a good suggestion. You could try it."
Huo Qi had thought of this before, but he was worried the two might have opinions, so he didn’t say anything. Now that they had brought it up themselves, he was naturally very happy.
"Since both of you think it’s okay, I’ll do it this way. I had planned to do this before, but I was worried that you two wouldn’t want to release so many makeup photo outtakes, so I held back."
Yuran, "Is this something you need to hold back? You’re the director, and you can discuss your ideas with us. After all, we’ll be collaborating for a long time. You should also insist on your opinions."
Huo Qi laughed, "Aren’t you two the bread and butter here? If you pull out your investment, wouldn’t I have wasted all my efforts?"
