This is the warmest New Year Shanglu has ever experienced.
Just as she imagined, they had New Year's Eve dinner, set off fireworks, and chatted with the family.
This is the ordinary yet happy life that Shanglu likes most.
That evening.
Wen Renyan brought his cat over, opened Shang Lu's door, fed the two cats, and then went next door to take away Chi Yan's dog.
On the day of family reunion, he was walking his two dogs alone in the cold wind.
Wen Renyan swore secretly in his heart that he would never make a bet with Chi Yan again. It was New Year's Day and the loving couples were returning home, but as a single dog, he could only follow behind the two dogs and pick up dog poop with tears in his eyes.
The body is cold, and the heart is even colder.
＊
After the Spring Festival, the crew of "Evil" officially started filming.
When Shang Lu woke up, he felt like he was lying on someone's back.
He had promised Xiaomi a few months ago that he would teach her after he learned it.
Ye Lu raised a loudspeaker that he didn't know where he got it from: "The women's self-defense class will start tonight! Those who want to learn please queue up to sign up!"
Xiaomi’s first day on the set.
Lin Yanyan also couldn't understand: "I began to miss the days when Director Song mocked us. At least he was very civilized. I didn't expect that after joining the crew, he would rely on yelling to express his opinions."
Ye Lu taught very seriously and Xiaomi studied very hard, but she felt a little sleepy when she was reading.
This time it was a group show with acquaintances. When taking the start-up photo, Shang Lu and Lin Yanyan held up an "angel" halo prop behind Song Zeqian. He glared at them for a whole week. The two of them didn't even dare to breathe loudly on the set, and only then was the matter over.
She did not open her eyes, but instead clasped her hands tighter and whispered, "...Chi Yan, where's Xiaomi?"
Jiang Jing rubbed her ears helplessly and looked over: "Did Xu Ze forget the lyrics?"
Shang Luhuan punched Chi Yan with his hand on his chest and said, "Isn't that your fault? If you hadn't laughed so exaggeratedly and almost fell off the wall, our eavesdropping wouldn't have been exposed, and we wouldn't have escaped in such a mess!"
Shang Lu felt helpless: "They must be staying up late again."
Shang Lu no longer mentioned the matter. Instead, he looked up at the starry sky and said with some nostalgia: "Chi Yan, do you still remember the first time you sent me home in high school? You carried me on your back like this, too."
Shang Lu leaned on the sofa, feeling her eyelids getting heavier and heavier. In her ears she could hear the voices of Ye Lu and Xiaomi talking. She did not find it noisy, but felt relaxed in such an atmosphere.
Not far away, Song Zeqian's angry roar was heard.
Song Zeqian looked at Shang Lu and said with difficulty: "I really can't find a suitable person. I don't know if you have anyone to recommend."
Chi Yan spoke up for Xiaomi: "It's normal for children to lose their sense of propriety occasionally when they are having fun."
Xiaomi nodded vigorously and smiled.
Shang Lu looked down at her and naturally did not stop her. She just said, "It will delay your school classes for a while. Sister will find a teacher to tutor you in his spare time. You will have to work harder."
Xiaomi knew that it was Song Zeqian's brother and sister who brought her out of the village, and she wanted to repay them to the best of her ability.
Shang Lu naturally had to stay here for Xiaomi, eating the biscuits he had just opened while watching them continue training.
Shang Lu sighed and said, "I'm used to it."
Lin Yanyan flipped through the script and said, "The next scene is mine. I'll go and prepare first."
Lin Yanyan crossed her arms across her chest: "Oh, you still have this hand?"
Children are the most grateful.
Shang Lu took a ball of cotton from his ear and said, "It seems that we need to prepare more."
Every time Lin Yanyan bought some new toys, she would pull her and Xiaomi to study them together.
Ye Lu smiled confidently: "Nonsense, I've been learning this for several months."
Jiang Jing stood up and said, "I have finished filming today, so I will go back to the hotel to accompany Ruanruan."
Shang Lu had a complicated expression: "You've already brought Xiaomi to the crew, why are you still pretending?"
night.
"That's right." Shang Lu didn't really restrict Xiaomi. He just complained a little bit and tried his best to let the child do whatever he wanted.
Only Xiaomi followed him and learned from him seriously, while Shang Lu and Lin Yanyan just squatted on the side and watched while eating melon seeds.
Song Zeqian: “…”
Chi Yan's voice sounded lazily: "Yes, that day you ran so hard that your legs were shaking, and you couldn't even walk."
The actors who will play their childhood roles have basically been selected, except for Shang Lu's role.
The three of them stared at each other, and finally sighed together.
That evening, Ye Lu’s small classroom started.
Chi Yan replied: "I took Lin Yanyan home with me when she finished work. She seemed to have bought some new toys. Xiaomi will sleep with her tonight."
Not long after, she tilted her head and fell asleep.
The two of them talked and walked out together.
Xiaomi held Shang Lu's hand and whispered, "I am willing to act with my sister, and I also want to help Brother Song Zeqian do something."
"Yes, yes, yes." Chi Yan did not refute and followed her words: "I admit my mistake and I accept the punishment."
Shang Lu thought for a moment and said, "Then I will punish you by making sure I always clean up after you. No matter what good or bad things I do, you have to stay with me."
"I promise you." Chi Yan raised his hand to lift Shang Lu up a little, and the two bodies were closer together, and then he said: "No matter what happens in the future, I will always take you home."
Shang Lu didn't say anything, but buried his face in Chi Yan's shoulders and neck, listening to his heartbeat and feeling his body temperature.
All this gave her enough sense of security.
for a long time.
She then whispered, "Chi Yan, I really like you."
She can act coquettishly towards him and even lose her temper occasionally without having to think about right or wrong or having any concerns.
With him, she doesn't have to be so reasonable, nor does she need to be too sensible.
Because those who are loved have the right to be willful.
Both loving and being loved are very happy.

"The Rescue Plan" is undoubtedly the box office champion of the Spring Festival. Not to mention the Spring Festival, no other movie in the next six months can be compared with it.
The 6 billion box office made Yue Qi think that his movie was a sure winner of the year, until the National Day holiday when "Evil" was officially released.
Song Zeqian did not spend any money on publicity, but he has always chosen talented actors. This time, almost all the cast members have high traffic, which has already whetted the audience's appetite.
Song Zeqian was bold enough. He did not arrange a preview but chose to release the film directly, so as to face the real audience more directly.
On the day of the movie's premiere, almost all filmmakers who work in self-media were unwilling to miss out on such good traffic and wanted to be the first audience to review "Evil".
It was also the first time for Shang Lu to see the finished film. Unlike "The Rescue Plan", Song Zeqian brought them to the cinema just to see the audience's reactions on the spot and did not plan to do any interactive promotion. They were just ordinary audiences.
Everyone was still there, and some were even sitting in the front middle row, which was not a good place to watch a movie.
Song Zeqian's reason was simple: "I forgot to keep my ticket, and they grabbed it too quickly, so... but it doesn't matter where I sit."
Everyone: “…”
This is very much Song Zeqian's style of doing things.
This seat is a little close to the screen, but even the first row is full of audiences, so comparatively speaking, we should be content.
Shang Lu pulled Song Zeqian's sleeve and handed him the memo on his mobile phone, which read: An Qing is behind us.
An Qing is a fake friend of Jiang Jing who had appeared on their show before. She is a well-known film critic and had criticized Song Zeqian’s previous movie.
Song Zeqian didn't care and just said, "Let's watch a movie."
The movie begins with a close-up shot of five fingers falling like playing a piano. Only when the camera pulls away do we realize that the "keys" played by the girl's fingers are actually pebbles on the ground.
Xiao Wang Can, played by Xiaomi, was squatting on the side of the road. From the house behind him came the sound of his father scolding and beating his mother, and glassware fell to the ground.
She didn't say anything, but just lowered her head quietly, her hands still playing on the pebbles.
The scene changes, and five slender fingers fall on the piano keys.
Wang Can, played by Shang Lu, finished playing the song, stood up to accept the teacher's praise, smiled gently, and walked to sit next to his brother in the corner.
The rebellious teenager played by Ye Lu was just like the school bully himself. He asked impatiently, "What are you doing here? Didn't we agree to pretend we don't know each other in school?"
The two talked for a few words about their mother's health, but they disagreed on when to go home, so they immediately separated when a classmate looked over.
Next, some shots are given to introduce the current lives of each other child.
The eldest sister who works hard, the eldest brother who almost lives in the laboratory, and the second sister who is a female star with a sense of superiority under the spotlight, they all have their own lives.
The five people seemed to have nothing to do with each other, until June received news from home that her mother had passed away, and everyone rushed back.
The funeral was quite grand. Although it was his wife's funeral, the father was only concerned with showing off his promising children to relatives and friends, as if he had completely forgotten that his wife had passed away.
The faces of the relatives were filled with envy, and they all raised their glasses to compliment him.
It was clearly a funeral banquet, but if you didn't know, you would think it was a wedding because of the lively atmosphere. Except for a few children, no one seemed to be sad for the dead woman.
According to local customs, a funeral banquet should last for three days so that the deceased can be sent away peacefully. On the first night, the father was eager to talk to them about future retirement arrangements. The eldest son had always been silent, but at this moment he had an argument with his father.
At the end of the three-day banquet, my father's body was lying outside the door, and the relatives who were about to leave were so scared that their legs went weak.
The police arrived at the scene quickly and focused their main efforts on investigating the eldest son and daughter, who were their main suspects.
One had been sucked dry by this family for a long time, and the other had just had a quarrel with the deceased.
The second son was recognized by the villagers as the one who had the closest relationship with his father. As for the second daughter, she cried and said that she was innocent and begged them not to implicate her career because of this incident.
As for the youngest daughter played by Shang Lu, she seemed the most innocent, crying continuously, and even needed a female police officer to calm her down. No one would suspect that she had anything to do with the murder.
The investigation is ongoing.
Time and again, new evidence continued to overturn the truth that the police thought was right in front of them. They knew very well that none of these children were completely innocent, but they had no idea who the real murderer was.
But the wounds they exposed and the pain they had experienced in the past also deeply touched everyone.
These police officers are parents as well as children.
Although I have been exposed to the dark side of the world for many years due to my work, I still cannot help but be moved when I see the scars on these children's bodies and hear them talk about their past sufferings.
In order to save her mother who had just had a miscarriage, the eldest daughter knelt in front of the village doctor on a rainy night and begged him to come to their home for a consultation; the eldest son had an argument with his drunken father over whether his sister should go to school and was kicked to the ground, but he had to endure it all; the second daughter brought back the candy rewards she received during her school days to share with her mother; the second son pretended to be unwilling to talk to his sister at school, but in fact he beat up the classmates who had feelings for his sister, and he said nothing when he was punished by the school; the weak-willed youngest daughter used her body to protect her mother when her father beat her who was chained to the bed.
Although they grew up in such a hellish environment, each of them is loved by their family, so they also want to try their best to protect others.
Suffering may erase many things, but the love between each other will not diminish in the slightest because of suffering.
At this point in the movie, the sound of sobbing could be heard from the audience in the theater.
Among them, Ye Lu cried the loudest.
When the movie was over, he wiped his tears and said, "Why would I lie to you? You are so miserable..."
Shang Lu looked at Song Zeqian, his lips twitching as he asked, "Doesn't he know the truth yet?"
Song Zeqian: “…”
Never mind, just keep watching.
At the end of the movie, a long silent shot was added, showing the whole village in the distance, and the picture gradually came to the middle of the sheep.
One of the cleanest ewes was led outside by its owner, who then brought a wooden bucket to milk it.
The milk kept flowing, filling the entire bucket and even about to overflow.
But the owner was not satisfied and kept repeating the action of milking the goat until drops of blood fell into the bucket full of goat milk. Outside the camera, the ewe could be heard wailing.
A fat pig came over and lowered its head to drink the goat milk in the bucket.
The scene changed, and there was wool scattered on the ground, and washed mutton was hung at the door.
In the corner, a few lambs were led to a wooden barrel, and a pig was standing beside the barrel, seemingly waiting for something.
The lamb kicked the wooden barrel and ran around, while the pig lowered its head to drink the remaining goat milk that flowed out of the barrel.
Finally, a plate of fragrant pig's head was served on the table, and sausages stuffed with pork were hung at the door instead of lamb chops.
The screen went completely dark, as if the sky was gradually getting darker until it was completely black.
Then the title came out again -
"evil".
The ending song sounded and the movie ended completely.
By the way, because Ye Lu participated in the performance, the OST was snatched away by Ou Yi.
No one in the cinema stood up and left, and then there was thunderous applause.
Ye Lu cried even louder, but Xu Ze looked down on her and stretched out his hand to separate them.
Shang Lu turned around and took a peek at An Qing, and saw that the other person had taken off his glasses and was secretly wiping away tears.
She looked at Song Zeqian and said with a smile, "We won."
Song Zeqian rarely showed a gentle smile. He closed his eyes and said, "Yes, we won."
All the negative comments about "Evil" on the Internet were refuted by countless people after the premiere.
Anyone who has personally gone to the cinema to watch this movie will not be able to make such one-sided remarks as "it is a bad movie because it takes up so much traffic".
The entire movie is impeccable, whether in terms of the script, lens lighting and color, or the performance of each actor.
Each person fits the role to a high degree, so that the audience will feel that "he/she is this character" after seeing their performance.
An Qing quickly posted on Weibo. He didn’t say anything, but just gave the movie five stars and then responded to it in the comment section.
[Rather than me reviewing it, I hope you can go to the cinema and watch it yourself. It deserves five stars and your movie ticket. I have to say that Director Song surprised me this time, and those actors who I didn't think highly of also conquered me with their almost impeccable performances.]
Yue Qi went to see the movie the next day. After he came back, he also gave the movie five stars, and even said, "I haven't gotten enough of this annual box office champion. It's so annoying."
Director Yue’s comments shocked netizens.
You know, Yue Qi and Song Zeqian have been fighting for almost ten years, and he actually admitted defeat. This attitude clearly shows that he believes that the box office of "Evil" will exceed that of "Rescue Plan".
Some netizens humbly proposed.
[Shanglu has a very good vision]
[The one who defeated Shanglu was Shanglu...? ]
[So what is Shanglu's next movie? @我担工作室, can I go along and get a role? ]
"Evil" grossed over 2 billion yuan at the box office in just four days after its release, becoming a "miracle" in theaters in the past decade, and its momentum is indeed stronger than "The Rescue Plan."
More and more audiences initially entered the cinema out of curiosity, but were willing to spend money to buy tickets for the movie and invite their friends to watch it a second or even a third time.
In the end, the box office of "Evil" was fixed at 8.5 billion, breaking the box office record of domestic films.
Coincidentally, Ning Lin's new drama was also released and broadcast online at the same time, but it was a flop and no one was interested in it.
The biggest hit of this drama was actually the male internet celebrity who worked with Ning Lin, who directly posted a Weibo post with a hint of meaning, saying that it was unlucky to film with someone with questionable character, and that he had worked hard for several months in vain.
Ning Lin finally couldn't stand it anymore.
She knew that no matter how hard she tried, she had no future in the entertainment industry.
Two strange things happened one after another within a month.
First, Shang An was taken to the police station for gathering to take drugs. Netizens were talking about this, wondering how a wealthy man would do such a thing in his later years.
Although Shang Lu was also involved, the heat of this incident did not last for a few days and then faded away because she had already said on a variety show that she had cut off ties with her family.
What's funny is that it is said that Shang An suffered from incontinence when he was taken away, and because of his embarrassment he resisted and tried to attack the police, which only added to his crime.
The second is that Ning Lin stole important confidential documents of Jiang's company and gave them to the rival company in exchange for money. As a result, Jiang, which was already in decline, wanted to make a desperate comeback with a new cooperation project, but was stabbed in the back at the last moment, and its capital chain was directly broken, facing a bankruptcy crisis.
Jiang Yi's father could not accept such a blow and suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and became paralyzed. The entire Jiang family had to be handed over to Jiang Yi at this moment.
Shang Lu didn't really care about Shang An's possible imprisonment. Instead, she was a little surprised: "Are Ning Lin and Jiang Yi breaking up?"
Seeing her surprised expression, Chi Yan put a piece of apple to her lips and asked, "It's normal for people to be greedy. Why are you so surprised?"
"This shouldn't be the case." Shang Lu bit the apple and murmured, "They are the male and female protagonists."
Whose heroine sold out the hero for money? This is a sweet romance! Chi Yan didn't quite understand Shang Lu's meaning and asked her, "What hero and heroine?"
Shang Lu explained to Chi Yan very seriously: "Have you read novels? The hero and heroine of those romantic novels. The world we live in was originally a novel, and they are the hero and heroine."
"Oh?" Chi Yan couldn't tell whether she believed it or not, so he followed Shang Lu's words and asked her, "Then what are you?"
Shang Lu answered very seriously: "I am a vicious female supporting role, the kind that specifically destroys the male and female protagonists."
Their eyes met. Chi Yan said without thinking: "Then I am the vicious male supporting role."
“No.” Shang Lu shook his head and denied Chi Yan’s words, saying, “You are just an ordinary person. You have no role in this book.”
Chi Yan did not refute, but just opened a candy and asked her: "Can a passerby be with a vicious female supporting role?"
good question.
Shang Lu began to think, it seemed that no one had ever said who the vicious female supporting character must be with and who she cannot be with.
Shang Lu thought about it and said, "It should be possible."
"Then I'm willing to be a passerby." Chi Yan said as he peeled another orange and continued to feed her.
Shang Lu ate the orange from Chi Yan's hand, then turned over and lay down, resting his head on his legs.
She waved at him and said, "Come here."
Chi Yan bent down and asked her, "What's wrong?"
Shang Lu kissed the corner of his lips and denied her previous words. She said, "No, you are not a passerby, you are my hero."
Chi Yan actually didn’t understand what Shang Lu was talking about, but he still followed her words: “You are also my heroine.”
As he said this, he peeled another orange slice and wanted to continue feeding the deer, but was pushed away.
Shang Lu frowned and said, "No, this orange is too sour."
"Really?" Chi Yan lowered his head and kissed her lips. He probed a little deeper with the tip of his tongue and said thoughtfully, "It seems a little sour."
Shang Lu had already gotten used to it and cooperated by opening her mouth and accepting his kiss.
The candy he just ate was peach flavored.
So sweet.
＊
The Jince Awards is the most authoritative film festival in the country and is held at the Imperial Capital Theater.
"Evil" was nominated for nearly ten awards, including Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actor.
Shang Lu was nominated for Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress for her roles in "The Rescue Plan" and "Evil", and is also the favorite to win this year.
Walking the red carpet in a haute couture gown with the entire crew was the boring part that Shang Lu hated the most. The only interesting part was that Ye Lu almost fell down when he stepped on Lin Yanyan's skirt. The two almost quarreled on the red carpet, but fortunately they were stopped by a look from Song Zeqian.
It was such a boring segment. After going through "Evil" once, Shang Lu rushed back and went through "Rescue Plan" again before finally entering.
Countless media broadcast live.
As awards were handed out one after another, Shanglu acted as a ruthless applause machine.
Sitting on her left was the crew of "Evil", and sitting on her right was the crew of "Rescue Plan". I have to say that the organizers were quite thoughtful.
Yue Qi doesn't care. The films he makes are commercial films, and the ideas are often not deep enough, so being nominated at major film festivals is a win. He doesn't expect to win any awards, and can even taunt Song Zeqian: "The other films this year are not that good either. If you don't win all the awards, I'll laugh at you for a few years."
In response, Song Zeqian rolled his eyes and said, "Whether it's box office or awards, it's enough to beat you."
Shang Lu, who was sitting in the middle: "..."
No matter how much you quarrel, can you please consider that there is someone else in the middle
Fortunately, Yue Qi seemed to be in a good mood. He didn't want to argue with Song Zeqian today and could still happily chat with Shang Lu.
Seeing Yue Qi's face full of "quickly come and ask me why I'm in such a good mood today", Shang Lu could only cooperate and ask: "Director Yue, is there anything happy today?"
Yue Qi was almost suffocating, and finally waited for Shang Lu to ask, and answered with bared teeth: "When I went out this morning, my wife made me an omelette! You young people don't understand, this is proof that my wife loves me..."
In the next ten minutes, Shang Lu listened to Yue Qi give countless examples of small things showing their affection.
Her expression was numb as she stared at Yue Qi and Shen Xian across from her.
Both of them had a suppressed smile on their faces and sighed at the same time.
Forget it, I'm used to it.
Until the Best Supporting Actress award was announced.
The nominees include Shang Lu's "Rescue Plan", Jiang Jing's "Evil", and several other very well-known predecessors.
The final shot freezes and the picture is a close-up of Jiang Jing.
There was thunderous applause from the audience.
Shang Lu also cheered, not caring about his image at all and waving his hands to cheer for Jiang Jing.
Jiang Jing smiled helplessly, and when she passed by Shang Lu and hugged her, she said, "You are great too."
"Of course I know." Shang Lu smiled and let go of his hand, saying, "Come on stage."
Jiang Jing stood on the stage and gave her acceptance speech.
Yue Qi looked at Shang Lu with some regret and said, "I thought I would give you this award, Xiaolu, let me warn you, you may return empty-handed this time."
Shang Lu was slightly stunned. She naturally understood that Yue Qi would not want to undermine her confidence like this before the results came out, so she asked, "What do you mean?"
Yue Qi looked at her and explained, "It's like this in this industry. No matter how good the work or the performance is, you have to distribute the pork according to the situation. You are a newcomer in the film industry. It's easy to be nominated, but to really win the Best Actress award is... You are too young. Those old guys will not agree."
Before Shang Lu could speak, Song Zeqian's voice sounded calmly, "Director Yue, you may not know yet, but there are a lot of changes in the judges this time. They are basically all directors who have won the top three international awards or the best actor or actress awards abroad. They are not the same as before."
Hearing Song Zeqian's words, Yue Qi's eyes immediately lit up and asked, "Is Director An here too? He's our teacher. I haven't seen him for a long time."
Song Zeqian responded: "Well, he scolded you for being useless at that time."
Yue Qi slapped his thigh and laughed, "Haha, that happened a long time ago. I say, Song Zeqian, how long do you remember when someone scolds me?"
Shang Lu: “…”
So, why on earth did she have to sit between these two people
Until the nominees for Best Actress are announced.
Shang Lu couldn't help but sit up straight and became more nervous.
Clips of performances were playing on the big screen. Those nominated with her were all film queens who had already won trophies in China, including Cen Yan.
The host held up the final list and spoke mysteriously for a long time, and finally said: "It is indeed a very surprising answer to me, but it is also the result unanimously recognized by all our judges. As a newcomer in the film industry, her performance this year can be said to be very eye-catching. Let us congratulate this year's best actress -
Shanglu! "
There were countless applause in my ears, and Song Zeqian said: "Why don't you get up? Are you happy and stupid?"
As soon as Shang Lu stood up, Lin Yanyan rushed over and hugged her tightly. Lin Yanyan's tears fell directly on her shoulders: "Wuwuwu Lulu, I knew you could do it, you are so great!"
Cen Yan, who was sitting in the front row, also turned around and looked at Shang Lu, encouraging him, "Very impressive. It seems that I will have another opponent besides Jiang Jing."
When Shang Lu went to receive the award, he brought Lin Yanyan back to her seat and asked Jiang Jing to wipe her tears.
Even until he stepped onto the podium, holding the heavy trophy in his hands, Shang Lu still found everything incredible.
Especially after Yue Qi gave her a heads-up, she thought there was really no hope, but in the end, the trophy still belonged to her.
Her dream, the acting career that she loved and insisted on choosing, was finally recognized by everyone at this moment.
She bent down and bowed to the audience, then adjusted the microphone to a suitable height and said, "Hello everyone, I am Shang Lu. I would like to thank Director Song, Director Yue, and Director Han who is not here, for giving me so many opportunities in the past year, allowing me to walk along the path of life I love. Thank you all for choosing me. I like me. I have realized my dream and I am very happy."
There was thunderous applause from the audience.
And then, Song Zeqian also won the Best Director Award.
The host asked him: "When Director Song was shooting this movie, everyone knows that there was a lot of controversy online during the early casting. How did Director Song manage to overcome all the opposition and insist on making such a correct choice?"
Song Zeqian stared at the trophy in his hand for a while, then looked in the direction of the "Evil" crew below the stage.
Because Song Zeqian was not around, Shang Lu and Lin Yanyan could finally communicate directly.
Lin Yanyan touched Li Jia's arm and said awkwardly, "He won't scold us at this time, right?"
Shang Lu imitated Song Zeqian's tone: "It's already signed, there's nothing we can do, just make do with it, the penalty is too expensive."
Lin Yanyan was amused.
Yue Qi did not miss the opportunity to mock Song Zeqian: "It's something he could say."
After all, they all knew that Song Zeqian's praise was not easy to come by.
But at this moment, Song Zeqian said: "It is my honor that Shang Lu is willing to play the leading role in my movie."
There was an exclamation from the audience.
You know, no one has ever heard Song Zeqian give such high praise to an actor.
Even Shang Lu covered his mouth and looked at Lin Yanyan, asking with his eyes: Is he really praising me
Shang Lu even began to wonder whether he had offended Song Zeqian recently, so that he was speaking sarcastically here.
The host couldn't help but ask the reason.
Song Zeqian continued: “The kindness in her heart, and her decision to take the girl home after witnessing the suffering during the recording of the variety show, was one of the important reasons that made me determined to make this film.
Everyone knows that I am a director who shoots realistic themes. My father is actually a documentary director. The world he shows is more real and more miserable than mine. But no matter what the situation is, there will always be good. It is just a matter of proportion. Although the name of the movie is "Evil", it talks about good everywhere. I hope everyone can stick to the good in their hearts."
At this moment, at the entrance of the theater.
Countless media were waiting, having already seen the award-winning results through the live broadcast. They were waiting to take the first photo of the award-winning actors after they appeared on stage.
But because there was still some time left, their attention was now drawn to the priceless luxury car not far away.
After all, they are all in the news business and are the most well-informed about news. After a quick check, they quickly found out that the owner of the car is the heir of the Chi family, one of the top wealthy families in the capital.
With the Chi family's status, it would not be difficult for him to have a seat in this film festival, or even to go on stage as a host.
There is only one truth, this Xiao Chi is always waiting at the door to pick someone up.
Friends from the media exchanged glances, feeling that there was more to be uncovered.
Just as they were about to step forward for an interview, they saw the car door open and a man in a suit stepped out. His noble temperament could not be concealed and his identity could be confirmed at a glance.
"Chi Yan! That's definitely Chi Yan!"
"That's the Chi family in the imperial capital... Let's go!"
Chi Yan originally felt bored waiting in the car and wanted to get off to take a breath. He saw a group of reporters carrying cameras running towards him, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Immediately, a reporter came forward to compliment him. Naturally, they did not directly ask Chi Yan why he was here, but instead asked him indirectly whether he could be interviewed and talk about his views on this year's Jinze Prize.
Chi Yan was good at speaking these official words. He answered a few words but did not say any useful information.
Naturally, these reporters did not dare to be rude to Chi Yan. After asking a few questions and failing to get the explosive points they wanted, they had no choice but to leave.
Among them, live broadcasts by reporters were ongoing.
As a result, netizens discovered a "secret".
[Chi Yan's phone screensaver! Looks familiar! ]
[Did Shanglu post a childhood photo of herself on Children's Day? This is it! But she only posted her upper body, this one seems to be the complete one!!!]
Someone immediately dug out a screenshot of the live broadcast when Chi Yan’s phone screen lit up, and compared it with the photo posted by Shanglu Liuyi. They found that they were exactly the same, except that Chi Yan’s photo was more complete.
[So the full version of this photo is Shanglu stepping on a little boy's butt? No wonder she doesn't look happy, hahaha]
[Shanglu always makes me laugh out loud in unexpected places]
Some people also discovered the key point.
[That's not right, Shang Lu only posted some of her screenshots, but Chi Yan has the full version! ]
[I am a die-hard fan of Shanglu, I am sure this is the first time I have seen the full version of this photo]
[Wow! I suddenly had a bold idea! ]
[Chi Yan's phone screensaver is Shanglu. Don't tell me that a top tycoon like him is just here to chase a star offline. I don't believe it!]
[I remember Shang Lu mentioned during the promotion of "Evil" some time ago that she had been in a relationship for a long time, but the other party was not in the entertainment industry]
[Paparazzi had also photographed her from behind before, and it seems to match]
[So this person is...! ]
[I remember they were high school classmates, right? Did Shanglu’s graduation photo leak out before? ]
[A talented man and a beautiful woman! What a perfect match! The idol drama has become reality! ]
#Shanglu Romance#
#Shanglu late banquet#
Both terms were trending on the search list at the same time.
At the same time, the group photo of Shanglu High School that was previously released by Jiang Yi was once again dug up by netizens.
The boy with impatience in his eyes had a pink rubber band on his hand, and the girl, who looked well-behaved and docile, had long hair draped over her shoulders.
Before, everyone's attention was on Jiang Yi and Shang Lu, but now when the names of Chi Yan and Shang Lu are put together, the clues become clearer.
[Could the rubber band on Chi Yan's hand be Shang Lu's?! ]
[So it’s not Jiang Yi, it’s Chi Yan! ]
[Is this puppy love? For so many years? I'm so drunk I'm taking off! ]
The reporters at the scene turned into paparazzi. Although no one dared to offend Chi Yan, since he had come so openly, he probably didn’t care! The desire for traffic overcame their fear.
Microphones were brought to Chi Yan again, and someone asked, "Is the photo of Shang Lu your phone wallpaper? I heard you were high school classmates. Is there any story behind this that you can share with everyone?"
Chi Yan looked down at his phone screensaver and realized that he must have been photographed.
He slowly turned the ring on his hand and said with a smile: "Can't you see it? Of course it's because -
I have a crush on her."
Everyone: “!!!”
At this moment, another reporter shouted, "Shang Lu is out! Shang Lu is out!"
Countless cameras were pointed in the direction of Shang Lu.
Shang Lu searched the crowd, and the moment she saw Chi Yan waving at her, she ran over with her skirt lifted, shouting, "You're here."
"Let's go home." Chi Yan said as he took off his coat and covered Shang Lu's shoulders, then opened the car door and helped her get in.
The moment Shang Lu got into the car, the media friends who had been standing there in a daze finally reacted and stretched their arms forward with microphones in hand.
"Teacher Shang Lu! What is your relationship with Mr. Chi?"
"Does this mean you've made it official? Are you already in a relationship?"
"Mr. Chi said he has a crush on you. Do you have any response?"
After hearing the last question, Shang Lu stuck her head out of the car window and said with a smile, "It's not a secret crush. We have been together for a long time. We are in love."
Until the vehicle drives away.
One of the reporters murmured, "Before Mr. Chi left, did he wave the ring on his hand? That must be a wedding ring!"
Another reporter looked up and found a picture of Shang Lu wearing a ring at an event. He enlarged the photo and said, "They are a couple! They are definitely a couple!"
It just doesn’t look very expensive, and I can’t tell what brand it is.
The reporters at the scene were almost going crazy with excitement.
Shang Lu won the Best Actress award and officially announced her relationship with her boyfriend on the spot.
Her name was almost the only one on the hot searches that day.
Fans are just happily eating candy.
Please! Where can we find such a perfect couple
There were such funny photos of them when they were children, and they looked a perfect match in their high school graduation photos. Now they are actually together. Even idol dramas don’t dare to write like this!
But there was also one topic that sparked a lot of discussion.
Why Chi Yan’s answer was secret love, while Shang Lu’s answer was passionate love.
And at night.
Chi Yan posted another Weibo post.
Chi Yan V: I had a crush on her for many years [Picture].
The picture was taken in the sultry summer of that year in high school.
The girl was wearing a school uniform skirt, and was well-behaved and docile, leaning on the boy's shoulder to rest.
The boy looked a little impatient, but his exposed ears were clearly red and his eyes were fixed on her.
Love can't be hidden at all.
Shanglu retweeted this Weibo post.
Shanglu V: Congratulations on your secret love coming true~
