The shooting progress was delayed for another week, and it was already a month and a half after Du Shuyao returned home, at the end of February.

At this time, the Spring Festival had just passed, and the Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters of every household were still hanging on the lintel, but the door of Du Shuyao's house was deserted, and there was nothing.

The actor industry is no different than other industries. There are no holidays, especially when filming. Even festivals such as the Spring Festival have to be spent in foreign countries.

Du Zhengyang called him on New Year's Eve and was sad for a long time after knowing that he couldn't go back.Every year at this time, my brother doesn't come back, and I rarely spend the Spring Festival with them for so many years.In the past, Du Zhengyang was still young and didn't understand, thinking that his brother really didn't have time. Later, when he grew up, he realized that his brother and his father were at odds, and he seldom went home after high school.

So every New Year's Eve, Du Zhengyang will accompany his brother to celebrate the New Year, unless Du Shuyao is filming in other places like this.

This time, although the place where Du Shuyao was filming was not far away, he was a guest almost every day at the beginning of the year, and his father asked him to stay at home, which was extremely boring.After this period of time passed, Du Zhengyang started school again, so the brothers didn't meet until Du Shuyao came back.

This Spring Festival, apart from Du Zhengyang and Lu Zhenqing, who have not had a good time, because Lu Zhenqing met the first "forced marriage" in his life.

It is inevitable that there will be a dinner party during the festival. The people at the dinner party are all relatives, family friends, or partners of the Lu family. Many people bring their own daughters to participate, and some even bring their nieces and younger sisters to participate. The married relatives brought all they could bring.

But most of these people have close contacts, Lu Zhenqing can't refuse, let alone agree, every meal is like a blind date meeting.

Afterwards, Lu's mother also talked to him. Lu's mother knew that her son always put career first, otherwise he would not be able to manage the company so well in just a few years. Lu's stock has skyrocketed all the way. Mother, see it all.

However, as a mother, she still hopes that her son can start a family early.Lu Zhenqing's parents don't have a strong sense of clan, so they don't want to have a grandson early like others, but just hope that their son can find someone to take care of him.

But for so many years, people of the same age have already had a bunch of children, but Lu Zhenqing never mentioned this matter.

She has also heard a lot of rumors from the outside world, some say that Lu Zhenqing has been married in secret early in the morning, some say that he doesn't like women, some say that his ex-wife passed away unfortunately, and some people say that Lu Zhenqing never married in memory of her... In short, it's all different. This kind of rumor has become the subject of chatting after dinner in the streets and alleys.Mother Lu has heard a lot, and knows that there are many people around her son, but he has never brought one back, and he has no intention of settling down. As a mother, it is inevitable that he is a little anxious.

"Zhenqing, I know you are ambitious, but now that the company has stabilized, it's time for you to settle down too." Mother Lu said to her son who was sitting on the sofa reading magazines after dinner.

Lu Zhenqing knew that his mother hadn't urged him for so many years because he was afraid of putting pressure on him, but even now, he had no intention of getting married at all.

It's not that he doesn't want to start a family, it's just that the time is not yet ripe.

In other words, he still needs to wait for that person to grow up a bit.

"Don't worry, I have a measure."

"I don't worry about you, but this matter can't always be delayed. I think the Dong family's daughter is pretty good at noon today. She is well-educated and reasonable. We also have friendship with the Dong family, and we understand people..."

"Don't worry, it's getting late, you should go to bed early."

Before Mother Lu could finish speaking, Lu Zhenqing interrupted her.Mother Lu sighed, shook her head helplessly, and went upstairs to her room.

It's the beginning of the year, and Lu Zhenqing's company has been very busy recently. This year, there are several big projects. In addition to the previous companies, there are also many new partners this year.

In addition, at the bidding meeting two days ago, an unexpected opponent appeared for Lu Zhenqing——Guo Anbai.

Not long ago, he and Lu Zhenqing worked together to win the Chengdong project, but now they have become rivals competing for a new project.

Sure enough, there is no friend in front of interests, this sentence is true, although the two of them are not friends yet.

Du Shuyao's two new plays were filmed together, and it took two months to leave.Lu Zhenqing seldom contacted him when he had nothing to do, and now that he was so busy with work, he never called him once, and he didn't even think of him much.

Du Shuyao would not take the initiative to contact Lu Zhenqing, so the two had no contact for a long time.Lu Zhenqing knew that Du Shuyao was back, and he heard it from Du Zhengyang.

The next night, Lu Zhenqing asked Du Zhengyang to go out to watch a movie. He thought Du Shuyao would come together, but he heard Du Zhengyang said that his brother had gone to Taiwan.

For some reason, Lu Zhenqing felt a little pity in his heart.

The selection of the New Arts Awards was in mid-March, and Du Shuyao booked a flight ticket two days in advance, and went around Taipei, which was a relaxation.Chen Han didn't follow. The newcomer had a lot of work, so she might not be able to get away for a while.

Sheng Jiang flew over from Malaysia the next day, and Pu He and Wu Yidao also rushed over from Japan. The four finally reunited the night before the awards.

"Shuyao, this is for you." Sheng Jiang handed a bag to Du Shuyao.

Du Shuyao took the bag hesitantly and looked at him suspiciously.

"Gift, you didn't take it away last time, don't forget this time."

Thinking of what happened last time, Du Shuyao smiled awkwardly. He drank too much that day, and was later taken away by Lu Zhenqing. He didn't remember the gift on the side. He didn't expect Sheng Jiang to give him another one.

Feeling sorry, Du Shuyao took out the souvenir he bought yesterday from his bag and gave it to him.

Sheng Jiang obviously didn't expect to return the gift, looked at Du Shuyao in surprise, and put it away in satisfaction.

"Ahem——" Puhe was standing at the door just now, and he didn't come in when he saw two people talking, and now he said jokingly, "The treatment is different, let alone gifts, I haven't even received a greeting .”

"Director Xiaohe, are you not satisfied with the gift I gave you for your birthday last time?" Although Pu He politely said that everyone should not be separated and just call him Xiaohe, but it was Sheng Jiang who used this name for the first time.

Pu He thought for a while, Sheng Jiang's gift was not expensive, but it was what he wanted all the time but couldn't buy, so he didn't deliberately make things difficult for him anymore.

Several people found a restaurant to sit down and ordered some Taiwanese specialties.

"By the way, I got the news two days ago that there is another movie in the nomination for best picture, "Never Drunk and Never Returned", which was just released two days ago." Pu He returned to the topic.

Sheng Jiang let out a "tsk" and frowned. Not to mention that this movie is also a big production, the director and cast alone are daunting.

The director of this movie is the famous Xu Shi.

Now that the time for film selection has passed, they can still enter the nominations, which means that there is a lot of backing. This is another challenge for Puhe and the others-the chance of winning the award, which was already uncertain, is even smaller now.

"However, in addition to being nominated for Best Picture, this film also received nominations for Best Director and Best Actress," Pu He added.

For the New Arts Awards, each film can apply for three nominations, but can only win one award at most. In addition to Best Picture, "Dark Night" also applied for two other awards, one for Best Director and one for Best Editing, but unfortunately, neither of them were nominated.

The New Arts Award is different from other awards, it has no setting for music awards, so the best soundtrack award that was originally intended to be applied for is also hopeless.It is also a pity that Li Jiashu did not have a chance to win the award for the theme song sung for "Dark Night".

But judging from the current situation, Pu He hopes that Xu Shi can win the best director award. On the one hand, Xu Shi is Pu He's senior, so this award is well deserved.On the other hand, it also means giving "Dark Night" more opportunities.

After hearing Pu He's words, the others nodded thoughtfully. They have done what they should do, whether it is actors or directors, or post-production, editing and music, they have done their best.This crew is mostly newcomers, and there is no backstage. Being nominated is already a great affirmation for them, and the rest is left to fate.
