Chapter 55
As the year draws to a close, the progress of many projects is also accelerating. As Li’s Dinghai Shenzhen, Li Ruonan is the most trusted manager of the companies that Li Ruonan has cooperated with, and is also the most valued trader by many investors, so many things have to be done by himself.
Although Lan Muyu has not yet entered the group, but in the entertainment industry, it is not easy to refuse some invitations, so he has to continue on various routes, and the time they can spend together is less and less.
It was not until the award ceremony of the Huaying Awards was approaching that Lan Muyu was finally allowed by Ling Shan to return to Yancheng again.
Early in the morning of the award ceremony, Lan Muyu followed Li Ruonan to get up. Lan Muyu had to find a stylist to take care of it later, so the laundry work was much faster than Li Ruonan.
She went back to the bed, lay on the bed lazily, flipped through Weibo, picked out a few comments from fans and replied, the sound of footsteps coming closer behind her – it was Li Ruonan who came back from washing up.
In the next second, Lan Muyu’s waist was hugged, and the whole person was wrapped into Li Ruonan’s arms, “Pick up fans early in the morning?”
Lan Muyu didn’t look back until he typed the reply in his hand and sent out a little teasing: “Do you think there is a smell in our room?”
Li Ruonan was taken aback, “What?”
Lan Muyu turned her head slightly and pinched her nose, “It’s so sour.”
Li Ruonan relaxed a little while holding Lan Muyu’s hand, and rubbed Lan Muyu’s head: “Nonsense.”
“I have a fan who gave you a nickname.”
Li Ruonan frowned: “What?”
Lan Muyu blinked: “President vinegar, um… I think it’s very impressive.”
Li Ruonan became angry and pressed up.
Lan Muyu wanted to struggle, but someone pinched her waist and instantly collapsed on the bed, “Li, Li Ruonan?”
“Are you all right this morning?”
“Well, Sister Ling said to come and do my makeup in the afternoon, and then go to the awards ceremony.”
“Very good, I also want to go to the company later today.”
“why?”
Li Ruonan didn’t speak any more, pulled down Lan Muyu’s shoulder straps, and their clothes were entangled on the carpet, “I always do something to be worthy of the nickname your fans gave me.”
The sun outside the window rose higher and higher, and the curtains fluttered.
Lan Muyu frowned, turned over, looked at Li Ruonan who was jealous, and lowered her head, “Okay, it’s up to you.”
At the end of December, the annual Huaying Awards finally kicked off. As the crew of “Limited Sales” who had received the news long ago, Gu Yan naturally participated with several leading actors.
At 7:00 p.m., the red carpet of the awards ceremony officially opened, and all the artists and production team representatives who were shortlisted for the awards had to walk the red carpet. Lan Muyu was dressed in a luxurious blue dress, gentle and elegant, holding Chi Huai, the hero of “Limited Sale”, and followed Gu Yan, who rarely wore a suit, on the red carpet.
Handsome men and beautiful women, high-spirited, star-lit red carpet, eye-catching, the “Limited Sale” crew has suppressed the limelight of many artists as soon as they appeared.
“Crack-knock-”
Countless flashes of light were heading towards the stage from all directions, and the reporters’ cameras kept following. After signing their names on the signed plates behind them, they walked over to the host for a brief interview.
The host went to Gu Yan: “”Limited Sales” stood out in the National Day stalls and sold well at the box office. I wonder what Director Gu’s expectations for “Limited Sales” today?”
Gu Yan took the microphone, “Our entire crew has paid a lot for “Limited Sales”. As long as the audience feels that the movie ticket is worth it, it is the greatest recognition for us.”
“Does Director Gu have any comments on the performance of our leading actors?”
“Do I need to tell me about their performance? Of course I’m very satisfied.” Gu Yan glanced at Lan Muyu and Chi Huai behind him, a little proud, “It’s just that their schedules are full, otherwise I would like to work together again.”
The host answered: “Oh, Director Gu has spoken. I wonder what the two leading actors are thinking?”
Lan Muyu took the microphone and joked: “If there is a schedule, I will definitely cooperate. It’s just that Chi Huai and I have risen in value now, but it’s not the poor two who were squeezed by you back then.”
Gu Yan smiled and said, “Give it. But I don’t know if Miss Lan is willing to invest next time?”
At this time, the host on the side asked: “If Lan Muyu doesn’t participate in the performance, I am afraid that President Li is not willing to give money.”
I don’t know whether the host said these words intentionally or unintentionally, which made Gu Yan frown in displeasure, and immediately looked at Lan Muyu, “No…”
Lan Muyu raised his eyebrows and grabbed Gu Yan’s words, his smile deepened: “I have always admired Director Gu’s films, and I trust Director Gu’s ability very much, as long as Director Gu is willing to let me share a piece of the pie. , Xingyu will give full support.”
Gu Yan smiled and said, “I can’t ask for money from a beauty.”
The topic was quickly brought back to normal, and after speaking a few words according to the interview process, several people turned to the infield and sat down in the seats arranged by the organizer.
And surprisingly, “Come on, Pikachu! “The two resident guests: Ding Sheng, the old drama bone, and Min Xia, the queen, were also present, and Min Xia’s position happened to be arranged by Lan Muyu’s side.
Since the end of the variety show, the two have not been able to meet again due to work reasons, and they were very happy when they met. The two greeted Ding Sheng not far away, and Ding Sheng also walked in their direction, “Xiao Lan , I went to see your movie, it’s good, it’s really good.”
Min Xia also jokingly said: “I don’t know how many awards your crew will win tonight. Don’t forget you, Sister Min, and me?”
Lan Muyu smiled and said, “How dare I compare with the two of you, I still need Sister Min to take me more.”
Ding Sheng had other contacts to leave first, and before the awards ceremony started, Min Xia chatted with Lan Muyu about their variety show: “Xiao Lan, you don’t know how sad our days are after you leave. , the director is simply not willing to eat hard and soft, even if I wanted to go out to the toilet, the director was taken aback.”
After hearing this, Lan Muyu couldn’t help laughing out loud: “Sister Min, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, I believe you can do it.”
“Yes, of course, I directly pushed my agent for next year’s contract. It’s a loss that I have been participating in the ‘Old Man’ since the first season. This director is too much.” Min Xia Erlang raised his legs and raised his jaw. Gu Yan and Chi Huai on the side couldn’t help but look sideways with a “don’t mess with the old lady” attitude.
“What to watch, haven’t you seen female stars being squeezed by the director team?”
Gu Yan waved his hand, “No no no, Teacher Min, I like your play very much.”
Min Xia frowned, “You’re only a few years younger than me, don’t look like you’ve grown up watching my drama, Xiao Lan is more than ten years younger than me, she didn’t say that, why are you so… ”
Lan Muyu reminded quietly, “Sister Min, this is our director.”
Min Xia was stunned for a moment, and his voice changed, “Are you the director of “Limited Sales”?”
“Yes…” Because Xu was his favorite idol, Gu Yan had no confidence in facing Min Xia.
“Director, I really like the way you shoot female artists, and I also like your story.” Min Xia disregarded the past, as if nothing happened just now, and solemnly suggested, “If there is a suitable role, maybe we can also do it. cooperating.”
Gu Yan, who was immersed in star chasing and unable to extricate himself, did not pay attention to Min Xia’s attitude at the beginning, but looked at his goddess with bright eyes, “Really, really? I have a role, I can help Tailored to you.”
Lan Muyu covered her mouth and laughed, teasing, “Director Gu, I thought I was your heroine.”
Gu Yan frowned: “You don’t have a schedule, so you won’t allow me to pat my goddess?”
“Hahaha, okay, okay.”
Laughter and laughter always makes the time pass quickly. Before you know it, the time came to 8:30, and the award ceremony officially started.
The awards at the beginning were considered appetizers. They were all small awards that were not very important. They were used to encourage newcomers. The atmosphere on the field was relatively relaxed. Lan Muyu sat together and faced the occasional camera. management with facial expressions.
“Limited Sale” attracted everyone’s attention from the very beginning and won the awards for best photography and best costume.
After a few small awards were awarded, there were performances interspersed in the middle. It was also Ye Fei, a singer under Lan Muyu’s subordinate who came up to sing. He was wearing a long dress and his hair was dotted with pieces of shiny fringe. He sat hanging from above. The chair slowly descended into the air, and the mist below filled the air, so beautiful that it seemed to glow.
The prelude to the music sounded slowly, Ye Fei’s voice was ethereal and long, and it was most suitable for singing for Xianxia movie and TV dramas. What she sang was also the theme song of a movie that had just won an award. People are pulled back into the memories of the movie again.
There was a bit of coldness in the gentle voice, which quickly attracted everyone’s attention, like a fairy who seduced human beings, beautiful, but even more dangerous.
After the song ended, the awards ceremony continued. After the awards for the supporting actors were given out, everyone present sat up one after another.
The main event of the awards ceremony is finally about to start.
The Best Screenplay Award was won by an old screenwriter who has been in the industry for 40 years. The new screenwriters who have been nominated with her are all new screenwriters of recent popular movies. When the award-winning old screenwriters gave their acceptance speeches, they also placed their hopes on those young people. High hopes, indicating that they are the future of Chinese films.
This kind of scene is more common in award ceremonies, but people are also willing to award such awards to artists who have worked for many years, which is also a recognition of their half-life career.
Then came the Best Director Award.
Lan Muyu and Chi Huai immediately looked at Gu Yan who was beside him and gave him a wink. Gu Yan looked helplessly at the small movements of these two people.
The giant screen on the stage has begun to show the VCRs of the shortlisted films, and the host also follows the rhythm of the VCRs, commenting on the productions one by one. Before coming, Ling Shan had already received news from Fu Qian, and this time “Limited Sale” won several nominations for awards.
Sure enough, Gu Yan’s “Limited Sale” also successfully appeared at the end of the VCR.
Gu Yan looked calm just now, but at this time he nervously grabbed Chi Huai’s arm and pinched the arm of his suit jacket to wrinkle a bit.
Chi Huai looked at the camera that was swept over, and joked with Gu Yan: “Director, fortunately you’re not looking in the wrong direction. If you grabbed our heroine, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get out of this awards ceremony today.”
Taking advantage of the moment the camera turned away, Gu Yan glared at Chi Huai fiercely, but it was undeniable that his nervous heart had indeed relaxed slightly.
Seeing this, Lan Muyu also turned around, “Director Gu is at ease, you are so strict, our movie will definitely be fine.”
Gu Yan nodded. Before “Limited Sale”, he had never had a work that could be put on the big screen. “Limited Sale” was his first attempt, and it was also a major breakthrough. The whole team has supported each other along the way, and it has created the glory of the National Day schedule.
The presenter has already appeared on the stage, and after wagging the audience’s appetite, he finally got to the point: “The winner of the Huaying Award for Best Director is – “Limited Sales”, Gu Yan!”
After the awards were announced, the theme song of “Limited Sale” also sounded, and the host emphasized again: “Let’s congratulate Director Gu!”
Compared with other previous winners with many works, Gu Yan is in his early thirties, which is really young in this circle. When he left his seat, he even slapped his foot. Fortunately, Chi Huai, who was on the side, even supported Gu Yan.
Gu Yan took care of his suit, and in the applause, he stepped onto the podium and took over his trophy and honor.
“Thank you, thank you to the organizers, and thank you to the audience for their support. But I can stand here today. What I want to thank most is every staff member of the “Limited Sale” crew. Without you, this film would not exist. Molding, and there is no such award.
Finally, I would like to express my special thanks to the heroine Lan Muyu. It was her appearance that made me change the original narrowness of the film, and it was her support that made the film achieve the best visual effects. Without her, there would be no such good results as “Limited Sales”.
The new year is about to begin. I believe this is a brand new beginning. I will overcome obstacles on this road and bring you more and better works in the future. “Gu Yan took the trophy and bowed deeply to the audience. At this moment, it was his own honor.
Lan Muyu didn’t expect Gu Yan to say this on stage, and was very moved, but when the camera swept over, he could only maintain a smile on his face, watching Gu Yan on stage and the others applauding together .
After Gu Yan returned to his seat with the trophy, Lan Muyu took the initiative to stand up, and the two gave a polite hug in front of the camera. When they clicked, Gu Yan quickly said, “I look forward to your award even more.”
Lan Muyu was stunned for a moment, and when he sat down, he replied, “This is what you deserve, Director Gu.”
“This is just the beginning.”
It’s really just the beginning. After all, “Limited Sales” has won several awards that Gu Yan had never hoped for before, which made him look forward to the next actor-related awards.
As soon as Gu Yan finished speaking, he was grabbed by Chi Huai and hugged, “Director, you are too partial, thank you for the heroine, forget it, and hug the heroine after stepping down, is my hero just like the outside world? Are you destined to be a tool person for the background board?”
The warm and touching atmosphere just now was destroyed in an instant, Gu Yan ignored the camera, dragged Chi Huai off his body, threw it into the seat, and scolded with a smile: “So many people are watching, Lan Muyu and I are polite, just You are talking nonsense here, but you will give me the best actor, and I will hold you every day from now on.”
Chi Huai touched his nose: “Director, it’s hard for you to be strong.”
Soon, the “Limited Sale” crew also had hope for the Best Actress Award.
“Limited Sale” was shortlisted again as Ling Shan revealed, and it was put together with the rest of the film works in the past six months to compete with each other.
The VCR on the big screen scrolled again, this time it was an award for actresses, and the video clips were also dominated by actresses, and a hundred flowers were blooming.
As long as it wins the best actress again, “Limited Sale” will become the biggest winner. In addition, the popularity of “Limited Sale” was inextricably linked with Lan Muyu’s acting skills in it, and it was repeatedly mentioned in film reviews that the heroine drove empathy.
The host saw through everyone’s anxiety, and instead became more aggressive, and repeatedly mentioned to several actresses on the card. Just when everyone’s patience was about to be exhausted, he invited the presenters.
The award for Best Actress was also presented by a well-known veteran artist and judge—Yuan Ce. Yuan Ce is nearly fifty years old. He used to be a martial arts star and has a very high reputation in the circle. It is also suitable for him to present the award.
After Yuan Ce came to power, he also sold another pass as usual, and then announced: “The 34th Huaying Awards, the best actress winner is… Shangguanwen, congratulations to Shangguanwen, congratulations to the “Snake” crew!”
In addition to Lan Muyu, Gu Yan, Chi Huai from “Limited Sale”, Min Xia, Ye Fei and others who were friends with Lan Muyu all showed unbelievable expressions, and then they couldn’t believe it. He looked towards Lan Muyu.
The camera’s lens has already been aimed at the nominated female artists. Lan Muyu’s face remained calm at the beginning, and followed the others in the audience to applaud calmly.
Seeing Lan Muyu applauding, the others quickly returned to their senses and applauded.
They couldn’t hear how Shangguan Min on the stage gave his acceptance speech. They only cared about Lan Muyu beside him. When the camera moved away, Min Xia’s applauding stopped immediately, “How could this be? Why not, not…”
Lan Muyu pulled La Minxia’s arm, shook his head, and smiled reassuringly.
Even people outside the crew like Min Xia felt a pity, let alone the people in the “Limited Sale” crew. Why not Lan Muyu? Obviously… obviously Shangguanwen’s works and performances are not comparable to Lan Muyu’s.
If you lose to other actors who have been in the film for many years, it’s okay, and there is nothing to complain about if you are not as good as others, but it happened to be lost to Shangguan Min.
As we all know, even the subject matter is very important for the award of the film. The crew of “The Snake” followed a purely commercial route, and it was also a movie released on the National Day. Although the box office was not comparable to “Limited Sales”, it also ranked second.
But “Snake” is a box office that relies on fantasy themes and many special effects. The audience contributes to the box office for the 3D visual sense, and the role of the actors is minimal.
After the final box office of the National Day file came out, no one refuted the success of “Limited Sales”, because although the crew of “Snake” also had a high income, the production cost should not be underestimated.
If tonight’s “Snake” crew won the Best Producer, Best Editing, Best Artist, etc., absolutely no one would object, but the winner is the heroine with the least sense of achievement in the film, which is very Thought-provoking.
When the awards ceremony was over, Gu Yan, who obviously won the Best Director Award, followed his companions out with a face full of sullenness. There was no camera to follow, and he didn’t have to take care of others along the way. He started cursing:
“How could it be Shangguan Min? What’s wrong with her? Just to her sullen expression with a straight face from beginning to end, or to her staring Dafa whose eyes are about to fall when she gets excited? What kind of eyes do they have? ?”
Chi Huai cooperated: “Isn’t it? I can’t win the best actor and I also recognize it. The other party spent a whole year researching that role, and there is a strong personality contrast in the film. I can’t beat me and admit defeat, but Shangguan Why is she?”
As soon as Lan Muyu and the others walked out of the venue, they saw Fu Qian waiting outside with an anxious Ling Shan. As soon as they saw Lan Muyu, they greeted him: “Xiao Lan, you…”
Lan Muyu smiled reluctantly. Although the award can’t represent everything, it is only one step away. It would be a lie to say that it is not sad.
She watched Ling Shan and Gu Yan facing the judges of the Huaying Awards, and after they started scolding again, she couldn’t help but feel a warm current in her heart. In this deep winter night, it can be regarded as a little comfort.
She turned around, walked to the corner quietly, took out her mobile phone, and called Li Ruonan.
It seemed that he had been waiting there for a long time, and Li Ruonan quickly answered the phone, and his tone was full of gunpowder: “What kind of broken award is the Huaying Award, you are talking nonsense with your eyes open, don’t be sad, it should be your meeting. is yours.”
Lan Muyu only wanted to hear Li Ruonan’s voice, but she didn’t expect Li Ruonan to speak like this when she opened her mouth, and she said so much more than usual. Not sad.”
However, there was no sound coming from the opposite side, and Lan Muyu pulled the phone away from her ear with some doubts to see if there was any signal.
Seeing that the signal was full, Lan Muyu asked suspiciously, “Li Ruonan?”
“Yeah.” The anger in Li Ruonan’s voice dissipated along with Lan Muyu, but it was mixed with a bit of annoyance, “Lan Muyu, Mu Mu, you…don’t be wronged.”
Wronged?
Feeling aggrieved for not getting an award?
Lan Muyu was stunned again.
In the adult world, winning or losing is only an instant. She has lost many times since she was a child, but no one… will feel that she is wronged.
The person who was stunned was changed to Lan Muyu. After waiting for Lan Muyu’s answer, Li Ruonan, who was on the other side of the phone, didn’t know what to do, and the tone became softer and more careful, “Mu, Mu?”
“Um.”
Li Ruonan wanted to coax his injured girl, but he didn’t know how.
“Mu Mu?”
“I am here.”
Xu Shi found that he was not good at this kind of coaxing, and Li Ruonan’s tone returned to the fierceness at the beginning of the phone call: “We will not participate in this kind of broken awards in the future. Whoever has better acting skills, these people are very dirty in this award.”
There was a bit of heat in Lan Muyu’s eyes, but a smile appeared on his mouth: “Li Ruonan, I really want to see you now.”
