become famous

Not long after, the two attended a film festival in a certain city together.

Before the opening of the film festival, major media have conducted questionnaire surveys on the ownership of the awards.On the entertainment section of several major websites, among the predictions for "Actor", He Xiuyi has the highest number of votes!However, He Xiuyi is very clear that this does not mean how good he acted - many voters just like Zuo Ran or "Wanli Longsha", so they ticked all the related "Wanli Longsha" when voting. people and things.

On the first day of the film festival, everyone was still on the red carpet.The two roles played by Ming Lei and Su Yang also have a lot of roles, so Zuo Ran brought He Xiuyi, Ming Lei, and Su Yang up there.

In the host, "This one is the director Zuo Ran. His first work "Wanli Longsha" has just been screened in theaters and gained a good reputation...Behind him are the leading actors He Xiuyi, Ming Lei, Su Yang..." In the voice, He Xiuyi opened his legs and walked step by step.

There are so many flashing lights in front of you that you can't keep your eyes open.

Ming Lei and Su Yang still didn't talk much to each other, and the atmosphere was actually a bit awkward.In fact, it's not that the two hate each other, but... He Xiuyi can't say it well.The two of them stood on the two sides of Zuo Ran and He Xiuyi. From the perspective of "status", the arrangement was very reasonable, but He Xiuyi still felt uncomfortable.

Most of the red carpets in domestic film festivals are advertising boards on one side, and reporters’ cameras on the other side.In this way, in the news pictures, the logos of many sponsors on the advertising boards will appear behind the stars.

As usual, the crew of "Wanli Longsha" walked to the center of the red carpet and stood still, facing the reporters, which was convenient for the photographers to conduct a very concentrated shooting.

When posing, He Xiuyi saw that Ming Lei was slightly hunched, so he patted Ming Lei on the shoulder casually, and said, "Don't keep bowing, stand up straight, otherwise the photos will definitely look ugly." Ming Lei is 1.9 meters tall. He is two to three centimeters taller than Zuo Ran, and he always "stands out from the crowd", so he has a very bad habit, that is, he likes to bow his waist.

He Xiuyi was talking to Ming Lei on the right, but Zuo Ran on the left suddenly paused, turned his head to look at He Xiuyi, and said, "Huh?"

He Xiuyi: "...?"

Zuo Ran: "...???"

"...!!!" He Xiuyi finally came to his senses.Just now he called Ming Lei, "Don't keep bowing your waist", but because of the noisy scene, he was talking to Ming Lei on the right again, Zuo Ran didn't hear the whole sentence clearly, and only caught the words "old" and "bow". The word "husband" was thought to be "husband", thinking that He Xiuyi called him because of something, so he agreed without thinking carefully.

He Xiuyi almost fainted.

He thought: Who the hell is going to call you "husband" on the red carpet, in the middle of billboards, in the presence of other actors, in front of hundreds of cameras?

He shook his head lightly to show that he was fine, so he concentrated on looking ahead and smiled.In the past, he always faked a smile on such occasions, but today... He Xiuyi felt that the corners of his mouth kept curling up uncontrollably.

Zuo Ran has always been calm.Sometimes when I get confused...and a little cute.

……

In the next few days, the film festival will have many activities, such as animation film exchanges, old film copy restoration exhibition, Japanese and Korean film screenings, young director support project presentations, several film forums, receptions, what else? Crossover Night" and stuff.

He Xiuyi accompanied Zuo Ran to attend some forums and receptions, and even endured the discomfort to attend the "Crossover Night". "Crossover Night", to put it bluntly, is for filmmakers to find investment.Many small producers and directors conduct road shows for projects, and most of the content is very vulgar.

……

The closing ceremony and awards ceremony came as scheduled, and the crew of "Wanli Longsha" appeared on the red carpet again.

This time, Zuo Ran and He Xiuyi changed into more formal suits, walked up the steps, and walked into the venue one after the other.

The hall can be described as resplendent and magnificent, covering a thousand square meters.The auditorium is divided into three floors, with 30 rows on the first floor.Zuo Ran, He Xiuyi and others were arranged in the middle of the third row.

All the people who participated in the closing ceremony were those who could win the awards. There were no Internet celebrities or little stars who were just pretending to be fake, and the proportion of people who He Xiuyi could name was greatly increased.

Before we were seated, many acquaintances came over to chat.Zuo Ran has always been uninterested in other people. The executive director of the film is an American, and the executive producer's wife is about to have a second child. Therefore, He Xiuyi and the others took on the main task of dialogue.

He Xiuyi was not very talkative either, after talking for half an hour, his face was almost frozen from laughter, and the closing ceremony and award ceremony finally started.There was a moment of silence in the auditorium.It seems that the spring rain seeped into the black land, silently irrigating the buds that are about to regenerate, and everyone hopes that it is themselves who can break through the ground in the end.

He Xiuyi sat upright, with a rather indifferent attitude.He always felt that Zuo Ran wanted to get the "Actor" more than himself.

For the first hour, the organizing committee was awarding awards that were not important to them, but were expected by others, such as "Best Documentary Award" and "Best Animation Film Award".

As the atmosphere on the scene became more and more enthusiastic, the awards finally came to the highlight of the night.

Best Actor and Actress.

He Xiuyi suddenly became nervous.

He finally realized that he was still looking forward to it.

He needs an award.

Many scenes suddenly flashed before He Xiuyi's eyes.

——Zuo Ran said to him, "Never try to force yourself to become an emotional person." "The reason why great actors are respected is because they have the courage to maintain themselves." "What I am obsessed with is yours." Style, things with He Xiuyi's characteristics, I don't want anything else." And from that moment on, he became confident.He no longer wants to "change" himself into a character, but can truly perceive the soul of the character.

—— Zuo Ran told him to analyze boldly, and patiently waited for him to find the feeling.He made bold assumptions over and over again about Qi Jianfei's expressions and movements, which became more and more specific and detailed, and finally made "Qi Jianfei" jump out of the script.

——Zuo Ran accompanies him to practice basic language skills, so that he can speak his lines more attractively.

—— Zuo Ran...

He has really improved a lot, and it can even be said that he has been reborn.

He therefore hoped that this could be recognized.

He Xiuyi hopes that there will be a certain trophy that tells him bluntly: He Xiuyi, because of Zuo Ran, you are no longer who you were in "Travel of Time" and "Room", and you are no longer the same as when you participated in "Family" You, you have transformed into a better He Xiuyi, you have not let down everything Zuo Ran has done.

He wanted to visualize his growth.

Through each "symbol", record bit by bit.

One day, both of them will die, and all the glory of the past will fade away.They will forget how the two of them analyzed the script day and night, how they repeatedly studied their acting skills, and how they practiced their pronunciation. However, even if they forget everything, as long as they see and touch these trophies, they will know how they were supported by each other at that time. Progress little by little, without stopping for a moment.They are like road signs.

Moreover, the title of "Actor" is the highest value of an actor's honor, becoming the "Actor" is like entering a palace.After his retirement, people's memories of the movies he participated in will eventually disappear as time goes by, and new audiences will only know new movies.However... He Xiuyi always hopes that there will come a day when people can't remember He Xiuyi's style, or even what He Xiuyi has acted, but they will know that he has won many awards, and their hearts will be filled with respect; as long as they think of This "symbol" seems to be able to know what kind of diligence he has experienced back then.

Just like... those legendary Hollywood actors.

"..." He Xiuyi's heart was beating like a drum, but his fingertips were cold.He pricked up his ears, opened his mouth wide, and breathed in the air soundlessly.Even so, I still feel that the air is sticky, and it seems that there is never enough oxygen.

Zuo Ran lightly patted the back of He Xiuyi's hand.

On the stage, the Japanese actress nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress stepped onto the stage, looking graceful and charming in a dress.

She said in Chinese: "Five actors have contributed performances that come from life and are higher than life. These five actors are..."

At the same time, the names of five people appeared on the screen one by one.

He Xiuyi's name was the second from the right.In the huge photo, it looks very lively.Among the other four, two are from China, one from France and one from Iran.

After reading the names of the five people, the Japanese actress opened the envelope in her hand, took out the card and looked at it, leaned closer to the microphone, and said with bright red lips: "The winner is..."

He Xiuyi's heart trembled suddenly.The bright lights on the stage were so bright that it made people feel a little dizzy.

Then he heard: "He Xiuyi, "Wanli Longsha"."

Strangely, when the dust finally settled, He Xiuyi's heart became peaceful.

Things in the dream come into reality lightly.A vibrant him burst the bubbles around him.

He met the "Actor" Zuo Ran two years ago.Two years, whether it is long or short—the detailed description is too long, and the brief description is too short.The self two years ago is very similar to the present self, but in fact, it has shown two completely different styles.One is at a loss for the future, and the other has already won the best actor.The soil that was once dry and cracked due to restlessness and shaking is now fertile all year round.

Although this is only an important domestic award.However, it is his first title of actor.

That's great, he thought: the first "signpost" was engraved - this shows that with Zuo Ran's hard work, he has really grown up.And this is far from over.

All the people from the crew next to him jumped up and came to hug He Xiuyi one by one, and He Xiuyi accepted the congratulations frankly.

Zuo Ran finally stood up and held He Xiuyi in his arms.Different from others, Zuo Ran touched his hair while holding him, his movements were gentle but firm.

"Go up." Zuo Ran said.

He Xiuyi replied: "Yes."

After speaking, he walked to the middle of the stage with a stiff posture, and took the trophy from the hands of the award presenters.

Trophies... a little heavy.

He Xiuyi looked at the auditorium.In the bright lights, everyone's face was blurred.In the blur, only Zuo Ran's eyebrows and eyes were clear.

"I..." He Xiuyi said with a trembling voice, "I feel extremely honored to be nominated together with my favorite actor. I would like to thank the entire team, especially the director and the actor who played Yin Changdong... Zuo Ran. If there is no Zuo Ran, I won't stand here either...he seems to have given me...everything I dreamed of." Speaking of this, He Xiuyi saw that Zuo Ran's eyes were exceptionally bright.

……

Then, after He Xiuyi's "Best Actor", "Wanli Longsha" won another "Best New Director"!

Several awards such as "Best Emerging Director", "Best Newcomer Actor" and "Best Visual Effects" are new awards added by the film festival in 2019, and they make the competition for awards more interesting.

The title of "Best Emerging Director" belongs to Zuo Ran, and some people predicted it before the opening of the film festival. On the one hand, it is because "Wanli Longsha" is indeed excellent, and on the other hand, it is to "encourage" the new director Zuo Ran.Some people even think that the festival added awards such as "Best Emerging Director" just to attract Zuo Ran's supporters and gain more attention. "Best Director" seems a bit unreasonable.

Zuo Ran calmly stepped onto the stage: "Thank you for the approval of the jury, thank my executive director, thank the other staff members...and thank you all the actors. I especially thank He Xiuyi, the leading actor of the film. His performance has provided me with a lot of inspiration."

……

The Closing Ceremony and Awards Ceremony ended around [-]:[-] pm.

After the celebration, Zuo Ran and He Xiuyi returned to the hotel room.

They live in one room.

Zuo Ran went back to the room and took off his coat and tie, and loosened the collar of his shirt, and asked He Xiuyi, "Are you happy?"

"……Happy."

"Are you surprised?"

"It doesn't count." He Xiuyi said, "It's already expected."

"Oh?"

"Qi Jianfei in "Wanli Longsha"...has performed pretty well in the first place."

Zuo Ran smiled, and raised his hands to the sides of the opponent's cheeks. The distance between the palms was very large, half a meter, and said, "Is your face so big?"

"..." He Xiuyi stared blankly at Zuo Ran's face, then suddenly stretched out his two arms, held Zuo Ran's left and right hands from the outside, put the palms of Zuo Ran's hands on his face, and said, "No, only It's so big." After speaking, he shook his head and rubbed the palm of his hand.

"..." Zuo Ran picked up He Xiuyi's cheek and kissed it.

He Xiuyi groaned.Zuo Ran inserted his slender hair into the opponent's hair, which gave him a strange touch.

On such a night, He Xiuyi's feelings kept flowing out.

He couldn't help thinking: what is love?In his view, love is neither lawful and restrictive like reason, nor illogical and chaotic like sensibility.If you insist on speaking, it is like a kind of belief that makes people go from one realm to another.Since then, people have a new understanding of themselves and the world, and feel enriched and happy because of this new understanding.He is still the same as before, and he is not the same as before.But the leap from no belief to belief is not an easy task—the two are not on the same plane, and there is a cliff-like fault in the middle.And this kind of leap can probably be called "fate" - that person just came and took him into a new world.

After I had Zuo Ran, I was probably in this state.

He kissed me, as if he wanted to blend in with each other and never separate.

……

Perhaps because of being too tired, Zuo Ran still slept soundly the next day when the sun was high.

He Xiuyi looked at Zuo Ran's long eyelashes, gently picked up the mobile phone on the bed cabinet, and snapped dozens of photos on Zuo Ran's face until Zuo Ran woke up.

He Xiuyi swiped over one by one, finally picked out a very handsome sleeping face, and sent it to Zuo Ran's WeChat account: "How did this photo look?"

"good."

"As your new avatar."

"Okay." Zuo Ran leaned against the head of the bed, showing his firm abs, quickly clicked on WeChat a few times with his fingers, and set that sleeping face as a new avatar.

"Hey!!!" He Xiuyi was startled, "You are sick!!!" Sleeping face, besides the person who slept with him, who else could capture it?Although there are not many people and reporters in Zuo Ran's WeChat, but...

The corner of Zuo Ran's mouth hooked: "You let me use it."

"Okay, okay," He Xiuyi really convinced Zuo Ran, "I won't tease you, and you don't tease me either. Come back soon."

"Oh." Zuo Ran really changed back to the original style of frigidity - a picture, a tree, that came with the Samsung phone.

"..." He Xiuyi breathed a sigh of relief.He thought: It only took a few seconds to take a photo of the sleeping face, so no one should just find it, right? The word "Zuo" is at the end of the WeChat address book, unless you happen to send a message to Zuo Ran, you probably won't notice anything wrong.

In fact, even if he was found out, Zuo Ran could say that his parents asked him to take pictures at random when he returned to his hometown in the morning, or it could be said that the people in the same room at the film festival got up first and then secretly grabbed them, but He Xiuyi thinks that is not safe. , or anxiously told Zuo Ran to withdraw.

Zuo Ran, this cabinet door is really too dangerous.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Zuo Ran suddenly sent a picture to He Xiuyi, "Use this as your profile picture."

"...?"

a bird.

He Xiuyi asked, "What do you mean?"

Zuo Ran said: "Lian Lizhi, a lovebird, can also be called a bird returning to its nest."

"Oh……"

A tree, a bird.

This show of affection is quite subtle.
