Siege

Two years later, the Golden Plum Awards ceremony.

Huaxing arranged for Xu Jincheng to take a young girl who just debuted on the red carpet. Two years ago, Xu Jincheng was the finale and the focus wherever he went. Two years later, he is no longer important, but he is only on the red carpet. One of the bright faces coming and going, or rather, he wasn't even bright.

Xu Jincheng has produced more works in the past two years than in the past five years. It seems that he has been fully wound up. As long as it is a similar film, he will accept any invitations and talks.He is no longer the maverick Wandering Clouds and Cranes of the past. Under Huaxing, Xu Jincheng no longer has the capital to act recklessly. Anan has his own small business and has long since stopped following him. Huaxing arranged for Xu Jincheng. The team did not treat Xu Jincheng badly, they were all configured according to the first-line big names.

The problem lies with Xu Jincheng himself.He is still a textbook of acting. From his professional attitude to the completion of the filming, he is impeccable. However, many excellent directors with bright eyes are no longer willing to cooperate with him.These harsh directors cannot see the aura and soul from Xu Jincheng. Those achievements have been lackluster.

So in the past two years, his situation in the circle has been a bit embarrassing. Most people know that Xu Jincheng owes a lot of debts, and he desperately takes the film to pay back the money. Ask Xu Jincheng to get some pay, and as for those who made trouble, he would sneer and ridicule him more than once or twice in front of his face.Xu Jincheng didn't care too much, he was already quite numb, and only when he received a payment or paid off a sum of money, did he feel that he took a breath and felt that he was paid and worthwhile.He is too busy, redundant things, no time and energy to pay attention to.

He finally paid off all the debts at the beginning of the year. After paying off, the cash in his pocket plus the balance in the card is no longer enough to pay the rent of the small apartment for the next quarter. The house is empty. It is a good word that the ancestor invented.Xu Jincheng also entrusted someone to sell his last watch. It was a birthday present from the old man. It was precious, and so was his affection. It was because he was incompetent and had no ability to keep it.Xu Jincheng paid the rent, kept some living expenses, and transferred the rest to Jinchi's account.

He can't stop, can't rest, and he still has to save money for Xiaochi.

Day by day, year by year, it goes by quickly. If you have a goal in your heart, you won't think too much about what you have. Why bother to make life difficult for yourself?

The actress who walked the red carpet with Xu Jincheng was obviously a little nervous, holding Xu Jincheng's hand was a little too strong and too close.Xu Jincheng smelled the strong perfume on the actress's body and was a little nauseated. He recalled the lively scene of him and Jiang Yuting walking the red carpet together many years ago. Yuting never used such a tacky perfume. The fragrance on her body was always Just right, smells pleasant.The flickering lights came and went, and Xu Jincheng knew that he was no longer the focus, which was actually better, because he couldn't bear the position of focus.

The red carpet passed by in a hurry, and the red carpet host hurriedly introduced the popular niche who came behind without saying a word to them. Xu Jincheng was not embarrassed, and took out a pen to sign on the board. field.Xu Jincheng smiled and put the pen cap back on before entering the arena.

Just like he can still save months of ration money to order a decent latest season dress, there are some deep-rooted things that cannot be changed.

The movie with the best reputation and the hottest box office this year is an adventure movie. It tells a thrilling story about a group of young people going deep into the desert of the Northwest to experience dangers. For young actors who need acting skills and good looks, the set props have put a lot of effort into it, including post-production special effects. Ordinary viewers of the film are full of praise.

At Xu Jincheng's age, he didn't watch such a trendy adventure film, but he went to the cinema to watch it again and again. From the premiere, he couldn't count how many times he watched it, and he saved a lot of movie ticket stubs. Little hit.The filming is really good, the plot is exciting, the story is reflective, full of warmth, love, complicated but not cumbersome, and the story is told so smoothly without being vulgar, which shows that the director has great skill.

Xu Jincheng really never tires of watching it, he is very happy to watch it.

Apart from the fact that the film itself is good enough, the most important thing is that the director who made such an excellent film is called Di Chengye.

Di Chengye was nominated for Best Director without any suspense.

He stayed in the desert in the Northwest for nearly a year and a half. He heard that the conditions there were difficult. There were often crew members posting photos of the harsh environment in the desert, and some people quit shooting because they couldn't stand it.When Xu Jincheng was watching it in the cinema, he thought of the news he read on the Internet, and admired Di Chengye, who was born in a family, and he was able to endure this hardship, probably because he really loves the business of making movies.

Xu Jincheng can only browse some information on the Internet. In the past two years, he has never been in touch with Di Chengye.

Walking through the entrance passage, seeing the posters of previous award-winning films hanging on the wall, Xu Jincheng saw his own work, and walked over with a helpless smile. He knew that his good times had passed, and suddenly remembered What the old man said, the old man was right when he scolded him back then, but now he is just an actor.

After sitting in the seat, Xu Jincheng politely greeted the left and right. He still had a few good acquaintances. Director Wang, who had worked with him before, sat next to Xu Jincheng. He didn't shy away from chatting with him and said directly: " How are you doing recently? You said that you have accepted and filmed everything in the past two years, and made yourself cheap, but in the end you couldn't even get a finalist, I feel sorry for you."

Xu Jincheng smiled, and Director Wang was also a bit older, and said: "Forget it, when there is a smooth, there is a bad time, I am not qualified to talk about you, I am not the same, the whole family is waiting for you. Support, any artistic pursuits have long since disappeared, I can shoot with investment, no matter what. By the way, I will leave a role for you next month. You say you are also unlucky, and the boss is not young to pay off the debt .”

Xu Jincheng thanked Director Wang, didn't say much, and watched the awards ceremony quietly.

He remained motionless like a wooden man, afraid that the camera would catch him, so he put on a rigid smile like a wooden man, a lifeless and calm smile like a textbook.

Finally, when the best director award was presented and Di Chengye's name was read, Xu Jincheng smiled genuinely, more happily than any award he had ever won.

He watched Di Chengye's slender and tall figure stand up from his seat. The young man's expression was much more serious than before, but he didn't have the heartless smile before. He looked like a really mature man, confident and handsome. He walked gracefully to the stage, took the trophy from the guests, and stood in front of the microphone.The microphone was a little short, and Di Chengye tilted his head slightly, glanced at the audience, and said a word of thanks.

Even the voice felt a little strange.

Xu Jincheng thought, this is the right way, Xiaodi should live like this, struggle like this, succeed like this, this is just the starting point, he will do better and go further.

That's right.

He could no longer hear what Di Chengye was talking about. When he saw Xiao Di stepping off the stage, he couldn't sit still anymore. He got up from the chair and hurried to the bathroom.Director Wang at the side probably knew something, looked at Xu Jincheng's back, shook his head and sighed softly amidst the bright lights and thunderous applause.

Xu Jincheng didn't feel that he was hiding, but escaping. He was really uncomfortable, his stomach seemed to be pressed against his chest, and he was very stuffy. He obviously didn't eat at night, but he felt nauseous, and retched twice in the cubicle , Slowed down, knowing that the time was almost up, and he had to go back to the set to continue shooting. There were a few night scenes, and he had to catch up all night.

When he came out, Xu Jincheng saw Di Chengye standing by the mirror.

Xu Jincheng lowered his head and looked at the bright reflection on the smooth marble floor and the reflection of the two people's ears. After confirming that it was not a hallucination, he raised his head with a smile on his face, and said politely, "Congratulations."

Di Chengye didn't speak, but just looked at him so darkly. The young man had grown up with his aura in the past two years, and Xu Jincheng felt that his chest was even more oppressed.He went to the sink to turn on the tap, washed his hands, and said, "I've seen it, it's really good."

Seeing that Di Chengye was still sullen and did not speak, Xu Jincheng wiped his hands and said, "I still have to rush to the scene, so let's go first. You..." Xu Jincheng didn't know what to say, just smiled, turned and walked out.

During the short time when the door was opened and closed, he had some extravagant hopes. It was not until the door closed that Xu Jincheng dispelled his extravagant hopes. He gritted his teeth, went to the parking lot, got into his nanny's car, and rushed to the set.

What was being filmed was a martial arts man in ancient costume, and there was a scene of hanging Wia in the middle of the night, which was really enough for Xu Jincheng, an old bone.After hastily changing clothes and putting on makeup, when he was tied up and hung up, Xu Jincheng's stomach twitched and wanted to make trouble again. He suppressed the discomfort and tried to get over it quickly. After putting it down, he rushed outside and vomited faintly.

The following is someone else's play, and it will take another hour for him to play again.Xu Jincheng drank cold bottled water and wanted to find a place to lie down for a while. The director suddenly called him over, looked him up and down with a strange look, and said, "You go back first, and we will shoot tomorrow."

Xu Jincheng shook his head and said, "I don't want to change the venue tomorrow, let's finish filming today."

The director also endured for several days, his complexion was not very good, he said calmly: "I know you are a big guy, don't embarrass me, it's all human, someone wants to tell you to rest, it makes me feel like I'm abusing an actor, let Just go, and you won’t lose any money.”

Xu Jincheng didn't say anything more, went to remove his make-up and change his clothes, took a drink of water, and when he walked to the entrance of the studio, he couldn't help but squatted on the side of the dark road and vomited.

There is fire in the heart, go from the stomach.

Mama Yu said so before, and she would make some side dishes to clear the fire.

Xu Jincheng knew that he was going to shoot all night, so he asked the driver of the nanny car to follow the assistant back to rest. He squatted on the side of the empty street of the film and television city in the early morning, squinting his eyes and feeling sleepy.

When he was so sleepy that he fell to the ground, he was picked up from the ground. He opened his eyes and saw a familiar person.Xu Jincheng woke up suddenly, stood up straight, and said, "Xiao Di?"

Di Chengye pulled him forward and dragged him into the car.

Xu Jincheng was a little apprehensive.

Really, he was terrified when he saw Xiao Di with a black face.

Xu Jincheng broke the silence and said, "Why are you here?"

Di Chengye fastened the seat belt on him, and finally spoke, saying: "Sleep meeting, our account, settle it slowly."
