from the star

Cheng Lubai didn't turn off the TV, so Ling Qingyuan bit the bullet and watched it with her.Now that he has realized that it is impossible for him to win the award, he simply continues to hypnotize himself, and regards this link as a competition that has nothing to do with him and is completely someone else's competition.

The four films shortlisted for the best director award are Guan Peng and "A Slow Journey to the West", Li Zedong and "No Little Things in the Big City", Tang Xin and "The Medicine Master", and Ling Qingyuan and "The Return of the Soul".In view of the fact that in the best feature film link, "The Medicine Master" and "The Return of the Soul" have already had a contest.And the male protagonists of these two films are the Best Actor and Newcomer Award winners respectively.So now, the audience can't help but turn their attention to these two movies.

When the two hosts introduced these directors and their works, the atmosphere on the stage changed from lively and lively to heavy.A finalist was already out of this world at the time of the awards ceremony, which is unprecedented in the history of the Magnolia Awards.

The background color of the large screen at the venue has been changed from colorful to black, and Cheng Lubai pointed to the TV and said, "Emotionally, this award should be given to the person who went."

Ling Qingyuan shook his head and did not speak.He didn't believe that the direction of the director award could be determined by emotion, and the jury of the organizing committee was definitely not someone who could be determined by emotion.

"Suddenly I feel a little bit sympathetic to him."

"Why?" Ling Qingyuan didn't feel much comforted by being pitied by an inexperienced little girl, it was just a little ridiculous.

"Judging from the last memorial service and this award presentation, he should be a person who loves movies. Although I don't understand his works...but maybe some people understand. Now that he has been shortlisted, he may win the award. And At the moment of winning the award, he was not there and could not see him, what a pity.

"If it's not him who wins the award... as it is circulating on the Internet: he died in despair after learning that he missed the trophy again, how pitiful it would be."

"It's just one person's sadness or pity, and it doesn't affect the whole link at all. To blame can only be blamed on his untimely death." Cheng Lubai's interpretation made Ling Qingyuan feel depressed. He believed that this was the fault of most people. idea.

But Ling Qingyuan, he doesn't need this kind of sympathy for the weak.Therefore, he even did not hesitate to use self-denial to get rid of meaningless sympathy, and use self-denial to unreservedly express the resentment he had suppressed since his rebirth. "Whether he dies or not, the prize is there. Only fools use suicide to escape temporary setbacks and failures, and give up their hard work and life full of unknowns."

"Brother, why are you cold-blooded and blaming him at this time. Aren't you a fan of him? It's strange, you've been so changeable recently, as if you've reached menopause."

Ling Qingyuan was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly thought that his confession just now was too direct, and it was completely the No.1 self-reflection.Where does it look like what a third-person viewer should say.He smiled to ease the stalemate, scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, I just firmly believe that Ling Qingyuan can't commit suicide. I also think his death is a pity."

The two hosts on the stage had a conversation, mainly talking about the creative techniques of several other directors, and the biggest part was to praise the deceased's artistic career.Then the topic changed, and it was said that there were no guests and award presenters for the Best Director Award today.

No one came to reveal the winning director, and no one presented the award.

The awards fell through.

In the years since the Magnolia Award was established, in the early years, due to the lack of domestic films and mediocre quality, it was impossible to outshine the short, so the award was simply vacant.It’s different now, not to mention seven or eight hundred films come out every year, excluding independent films and limited films, at least two or three hundred of them can be released in the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Picking the best one from them should not be Difficult thing.

But the best director award was bye.Neither did it show sympathy to Tang Xin who was gaining momentum, nor did he show sympathy to Ling Qingyuan, nor did it fall on the other two.

Liu Zhong read the small card with a strong tone: "The jury is serious and considers that there are more than one directors who can be called the 'best'. They all bravely explored in their own artistic creations and diligently pursued , each has its own merits."

Xiaotong interpreted from the side: "The bye of the director award this time is not because I would rather not abuse the lack, but because it is really difficult to choose. Today, we have seen so many excellent works, and a large number of directors who love movies and art have emerged. Great news for us moviegoers."

Ling Qingyuan could no longer see the direction of the wind clearly.He rubbed his temples and decided not to bother thinking about it.After the party ended, "Ling Qingyuan" had been unknowingly concluded by people in the quarrels and rumors.It is impossible for his unwillingness, resentment and hesitation to appear on the stage of life with those three characters as the protagonist name.

However, Cheng Hebai gave him a second life, he can start over, use this identity to make his predecessor famous, and complete the legacy of his dream of creation.

"Lu Bai, listen to my brother, go to bed early. The celebrities are all going to the celebration reception."

Cheng Lubai reluctantly turned off the TV, lay down next to the pillow on the hospital bed and asked her brother: "Brother, do you think it is possible that one day in the future, I can also wear a battle robe and walk on the red carpet..."

"It's possible." Ling Qingyuan was in a bad mood, not forgetting to suppress this dreamy girl.He nodded seriously: "It's either in a dream, or it's to catch up with the opening day of the Grand Theater and go sightseeing."

The celebration reception was held in an upscale hotel not far from the Grand Theatre.All award-winning personnel and anyone who wants to increase their exposure and expand their network of contacts will not miss this good opportunity to chat and make friends.

Tan Yue changed into a dark blue suit with a dark pattern tie.As soon as he stepped into the venue of the second meeting, he caused a huge sensation.The applause was just an accompaniment, and many people raised their wine glasses to him. Qin Ziyu, as the person most qualified to stand beside him and give blessings personally, would not miss this opportunity.

She handed him the goblet in her left hand, raised it with her right hand and gently touched him, staring at him charmingly: "Congratulations. Although we have probably heard it many times today, but I think, sincere blessings It’s never going to be cheap because of it.”

"Thank you. You too. You are beautiful today." Tan Yue politely admired Qin Ziyu's evening dress, the violet low-cut backless dress, and the crystal necklace in the shape of an inverted triangle water drop.

"You don't mind..." Qin Ziyu made a gesture, wanting to enter the arena with Tan Yue on his arm.The latter hurriedly lent her his arm, and thoughtfully said "Of course."

No one in the venue could ignore the arrival of the new best actor and actress, and no matter how enthusiastic the discussion was, it came to an abrupt end.In the eyes of everyone, Qin Ziyu whispered in Tan Yue's ear: "Today I... am so happy."

Tan Yue took her to the center unhurriedly, put down her hand and smiled at her and said, "Me too."

The crowd and congratulations that surrounded the two had to split up.After Tan Yue clinked glasses with Tang Xin and the main creators of "The Medicine Master", he went to socialize with several big-name directors and senior superstars who had thanked him.After these two rounds of drinking, he still did not forget to exchange greetings with Zhou Jiahua, Yuan Ping and Wang Ledi who were also nominated for actor today.

Zhou Jiahua, as a senior, sincerely encouraged him to make persistent efforts.Yuan Ping and Wang Ledi were superficial and more polite.After all, these two have been debuting for a long time, and there is no shortage of famous fans, and high-quality film appointments are also coming in. Unfortunately, the topic has not been tepid, and there is still a lack of a deafening title.

Tan Yue replaced the empty glass and picked up a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray.After several rounds of cutscenes were missed, the people in the venue gradually dispersed, looking for people and topics that were either acquainted or beneficial.

If there is no accident, Tan Yue no longer needs to take the initiative to toast others.The nerves that had been tense all day relaxed a little, and he also leaned against the marble pillar by the wall.

Just next to it, standing is an assistant director of "The Medicine Master's Classic".After a few glasses of wine, he saw Tan Yue a step or two away, so he went over to say hello unceremoniously.

"It's a pity today, we could have won all the nominated awards." The assistant said dizzily. "It should all be ours."

Tan Yue stared at the ripples in the cup without speaking.

"Director Tang said that there is still a chance, there is still a chance... But he is still unwilling. The Best Director Award has just been vacant for no reason." The assistant director's words were full of smoke, "The dedication of the crew, Tang The hard work of the director should not be so easily passed by the jury."

"Yes, Director Jin, I'll ask someone to help you to rest aside." Tan Yue was afraid that he would hear something that he didn't want to hear from this man's mouth, so he quickly choked his words and threw him to the side. A passing waiter.

The beautiful and fragrant clothes under the crystal chandelier, the revolving crowd toasting and jubilant, the hustle and bustle floating on the surface, but the feeling of soreness and swelling in the heart is still lingering.

"Brother Tan." Fang Wenjun raised the wine glass to Tan Yue's nose, and the latter just reacted and raised his hand in return.

"Wen Jun, congratulations." Tan Yue took a sip and said with a smile, "If it's still those two words, then there's no need to say it."

Fang Wenjun was cut off from the topic by him first, so he didn't want to be polite, but he honestly didn't know what to say.He frowned and hesitated for a while, and simply chose to chat: "Hey... I hid from Ding Bai. I don't know when he and Wang Ledi disliked each other. Talking to them is like smoking second-hand smoke. Like a rotten egg."

Changing a relaxed topic with this simple boy, Tan Yue felt more comfortable.There are always awards and awards, and the words are either congratulations or congratulations. Repeatedly talking about a little reputation on the surface is always tiresome.He remembered a piece of gossip he had read from somewhere, and said casually, "It must be because of Jiang Chuyu."

Jiang Chuyu is Wang Ledi's girlfriend, and she is currently playing the leading role in an urban emotional drama with Ding Bai.The intimate relationship in the drama is relatively long-lasting, and the accidental going out to shelter from the wind and rain was photographed by reporters, and it was copied on the Internet, and it became the top three most popular searches.

Tan Yue shook his head: "I guess it's the need for TV drama promotion. I'm willing to fight and suffer."

"But Wang Ledi seems to be really angry, and he said that Jiang Chuyu is blind, why did he fall in love with this paralyzed face?"

Thinking of Wang Ledi's temper, Tan Yue said with a smile: "Oh, that guy really dares to speak out. His mouth is faster than a knife, and he will be the one who suffers."

"Oh, Brother Ding is actually pretty good. Everyone thinks that he can only play those indecisive and partial characters, and they think that he himself is unfavorable and has no opinion and no expression." Let me tell you that I am really sorry that I didn't catch up with Director Ling's memorial service."

Tan Yue smiled sincerely, and said, "Did he blame me for stealing his lines?"

"Where is it? Yu Ke couldn't have done it by himself, let alone you as a souvenir." Fang Wenjuan said quickly: "Without Director Ling's hands-on teaching, who can play such a complicated role in his play well."

Tan Yue nodded, and said with emotion: "Isn't it? It's said that young actors who have acted in his plays have grown up a lot. It's a pity that I didn't get on his express train."

"Brother is already running fast enough..." Fang Wenjun stopped his little flattery with Tan Yue's eyes, and said instead, "Besides, I dare not use you."

"If Director Ling is interested, the salary will not be a problem." Tan Yue said the truth in a low voice.

"I think...it's not just a question of salary. He said in private when the crew gathered or had dinner, although young actors are not experienced, they are a blank slate. As long as they choose the right person, they can teach them what they want. The effect. With a famous actor, the audience looks at him, it’s not like that.”

"It is inevitable that he will think of his previous roles, and even add his own life and character. Then what he wants to express will become like a mixture... impure, with impurities. If you meet an old man with inertia Actors can only act according to the routines they are used to, and they will never get back." Fang Wenjun scratched his head, feeling that Tan Yue's face was not quite right, and quickly added: "Of course not specifically who..."

"I know. He's right. You go on."

Fang Wenjun finished the sentence with a heart: "He also joked that he is a small director of genre films, but he dare not treat famous actors like cows and horses. He is such an uncompromising person, and he will not be able to deal with big names who are stubborn. It’s noisy. It’s like when filming "The Return of the Soul", there was a dungeon scene. For the effect, it was actually placed in a shed converted from a pigsty. The crew and the director stayed there for a month. When I came out, I felt like I had lice on my body. No matter how you choose, you can’t finish it.”

Tan Yue said leisurely: "He just bullies you young people."

"It's not bullying... It's just, it's a bit of a toss. But it's all... over."

Tan Yue patted Fang Wenjun's back, saw him staggering, smiled happily and said to him, "Go, don't blow the wind here. Director Lu, Director Gong, and Director Chang over there, if you see it, go and fight." Let me say hello. Brother Xie, Xie Weize, and Ren Siqing are all there. Don’t forget the producers and investors, don’t blame the senior for not teaching you.”

Fang Wenjun moaned and said, "Aren't you the one who wants to hear the story?", but he walked away obediently and quickly.

Tan Yue was a little bored again. He drank a drink alone at the corner, put down the empty glass, and saw several actresses winking in this direction.He adjusted his smile appropriately and walked towards them.

This is a group of new-generation actresses headed by Peng Xiaoyun, the upper limit is no more than 26. Tan Yue found out that the new female Liu Zhiqiu was also in this circle.Most of them are still in the climbing stage, with one or two masterpieces, and lack of more amazing screen breakthroughs.

Of course Tan Yue is not of the new generation.With his limelight and the quality of his works, the media felt that at his age, he would be too old-fashioned in the Mesozoic era.So I had to use "in the limelight" to modify it consistently.The advantage of not labeling is that no matter which segment of the actor group he is in, he is very popular.Just like the new generation of actresses feel that Tan Yue is still very close to them.

"Brother Tan Yue, do you need me to introduce you." Peng Xiaoyun acted as a middleman naturally: "Zhiqiu."

"Well, hello." He knew this group of five or six actresses. Although Su Qinxin and Liang Ruyan did not cooperate in film and television works, they did overlap in work.Ou Jiajia met him at a party.

Liu Zhiqiu replied a little flattered and said hello.Tan Yue guessed that this girl was originally an outsider who was attracted by the director to act, so it was inevitable that she was still a little uncomfortable with the big scene.In order to avoid the silence, he took the initiative to take up the topic: "Zhiqiu, how does it feel to play with Sister Xiaoyun?"

Since he was talking about a familiar topic, Liu Zhiqiu also let go of his nervousness, and gradually talked about their anecdotes in "Fang Cao Qing" freely.A few actresses nearby praised her for being good at acting, and she was able to perform the role of the younger sister so well just after getting started.As a result, Liu Zhiqiu's face turned red again, and his voice was like a mosquito.

"Is Zhiqiu still studying?" Tan Yue set up a ladder.

"You've just graduated from high school and you're going to college, aren't you?" Probably they had discussed this topic just now, and Ou Jiajia answered it for Liu Zhiqiu first.Tan Yue then chatted with them about college life, but in fact, he just picked up some commonplace interesting stories about being an extra, playing tricks, and honing his acting skills in a low-key way.

"What about the first love, is brother Tan Yue's first love in the film school?" Ou Jiajia asked bluntly.

"There's no such thing as first love. I was in college at the end of the 90s, and I was so busy every day that I didn't even have time to settle down and chase someone."

"Tan Yue, do you still need to chase someone?" Peng Xiaoyun joked.

"Girls at that time were not like they are now, who didn't answer shyly." Tan Yue said casually.

These actresses also knew that their relationship hadn't reached the point where they could make deep jokes, so they stopped after a few words of teasing, and they accepted it as soon as it was good.Tan Yue bid them farewell, thinking in his heart that it was about time to break up, when he was accosted by another group.If he was able to maintain a calm demeanor just now, it is difficult for him to even put on a smile now.

"Oh, Tan Yue. Congratulations on winning the award. Best actor, tsk tsk. The price has risen. I don't know if you are interested in taking the script, "Tiger Fight." Director Ma Hehai caught Tan Yue with a tone of voice. Rough and straight to the point.

"Director Ma, oh, and Producer Shao." Tan Yue glanced at Ma Hehai, who was the fifth and third, with a thick nose and fat mouth. When he saw Shao Lirong standing beside him, he didn't forget to say hello. "The script assistant has already given it to me, and I have roughly read it. In terms of shooting time... I may not have a schedule recently."

"Oh, Tan Yue, don't be so anxious to talk about the schedule. As long as you are willing to act, you can talk about the time." Ma Hehai took a half step back, let Shao Lirong to the front, and introduced respectfully: "Producer Shao Isn't it interesting enough to be a star? To put it bluntly, the funding of "Tiger Fight" is not a problem, and we can afford the actor's salary."

Shao Lirong only bent his eyes shrewdly. His short, stiff hair was mixed with black and white, with light stubble on his ears and sideburns. In addition, the mustache on his lips and the beard on his chin surrounded his mouth, so that people could not see who he was. Are you really laughing.

"I saw you at Director Ling's memorial service before, and it's not easy to tell you if the occasion is wrong. Hongxin Company invested in Director Ma's film, and it's not a problem from production to distribution."

Ma Hehai rubbed his hands, pulled a woman who had been standing one meter away from behind, bowed her head in silence, and pushed her shoulders towards Tan Yue, saying: "The heroine of the film has been found, Zhen Chun. Tan Yue Yue, Hu Junshan in the film is a real tough guy, Kung Fu fighting, gun fighting equipment, big scenes are all available. In the end, he hugged the beauty. How about it, don’t you want to try it.”

"Director Ma, it's not that I don't want to, it's that the schedule is really tight. Not to mention the movies for this year and next year, there are still several TV series lined up, and the time is too long." He looked at Ma Hehai almost tearing his face. Persevering, he said kindly: "Director Ma, Producer Shao, I have accepted the script, but the time really needs to be discussed with my assistant and the company. I really can't make up my mind alone."

Ma Hehai's face was wrinkled into steamed stuffed bun folds, and he asked Tan Yue to discuss it and reply quickly.Shao Lirong next to him didn't say much, nodded and led the two away.

"When you win the award, you will start to play big cards." After walking a few steps away, Ma Hehai complained disgustedly.

"It's because they have their own cards, so they can play. Director Ma, I didn't say that directors who are waiting to invite Tan Yue to film can line up for inspection." Shao Lirong said leisurely: "If people don't want to participate, that's not a problem." From your script."

"Mr. Shao, what you said is exaggerated. You have the final say on how to spend money on filming. You have the final say on how to shoot what to shoot, and who to praise. Then this script is not mine alone. Question...besides, if our Hongxin company signs him, won't there be nothing to say about letting him act in anything."

Shao Lirong laughed a few times without looking back, and without looking at the young woman next to him, he said directly: "Xiao Zhen, do you see that it's not so easy to get on the high-speed train of the actor. Go back and discuss it with your father. If you want to fire, you have to work harder."
