The information age is full of turmoil. Countless major events happen every day. Some people leave and some become famous and get a new life. If you make a year-end summary, the major news from all walks of life can definitely fill a whole room to the ceiling.
But for the entertainment industry, if one were to write an annual summary, there must be a name that stands out in the past year.
In the summer, he entered the audience's attention with a hot search for sand sculptures. After that, he quickly won the actor spot of Zhong Simo's new play, and he was on the hot search topic countless times. After that, it made an exception to sign contracts with Zhong Simo Studio and continued to have a bright future.
Before that, he had been waiting silently for six years, and this person was Shen Yu.
The time on the calendar is constantly changing, the weather is getting colder and colder, but the news from the entertainment industry has never disappointed the masses. It seems that they are rushing to send blessings to everyone at the end of the new year. All kinds of news on the list change in turn, which makes people overwhelmed.
And the most discussed among them may be related to Shen Yu.
The commercial blockbuster "Song of Amazon" directed by Zhong Simo and starring Shen Yu is scheduled for New Year's Day. Before the release, several leading actors have participated in a series of promotional activities. Among them, Zhong Simo is also in the variety show "Wow! In the last episode of "Director", Shen Yu was invited as a co-guest, which sparked a national discussion.
Because during the impromptu script writing and filming session, Zhong Simo wrote a short play about LBGT, co-starred with Shen Yu, and suddenly kissed the corner of Shen Yu's lips in one of the scenes of emotional explosion.
For a while, the discussion about whether "Squid cp" is a fake show or not has maxed out all kinds of social media.
Some people think that this is just a gimmick for the needs of the show and to promote the movie, but some people repeatedly analyze the show frame by frame, and prove that they are absolutely fake through details such as the interaction between the two people's expressions.
Regarding this matter, the comments on the Internet are very diverse. Some think the hype is too much, some think it is very sweet, some have nothing to do with it, and some homophobes call it disgusting. However, under the intentional guidance of Mary and others However, the general direction of public opinion is still towards understanding and blessing.
Many media reporters heard the news and tried to interview the two parties, but they all received a refusal reply. Only one veteran media with a very good relationship with Zhong Simo's studio got the exact news. Zhong Simo will take the opportunity to explain in person after the movie is released. this matter.
In this way, amidst the voices of public opinion, the new year came and "Song of Amazon" was officially released.
This commercial blockbuster, which is impeccable both in terms of script shooting, editing and actors, has exploded in popularity as soon as it was released. As the first commercial film produced by Zhong Simo, countless people were looking forward to it. Coupled with the promotion of a series of gossip news before, people chose to buy tickets and go to the cinema to find out, and enjoy it for more than two hours. After I came out, I recovered a little, and immediately turned on my phone to discuss recommendations on different platforms.
The box office broke one billion in three days after its release, and Zhong Simo created another legend, proving once again that there is nothing he cannot do in the world of movies.
However, even though "Song of Amazon" got off to a good start at the beginning of the new year, neither Zhong Simo nor Shen Yu showed up or made any voices. Grand awards.
The Golden Falcon Award, as the highest honor in the Chinese film industry, is attended by countless filmmakers every year on the tenth day after the New Year, and Shen Yu and Zhong Simo are no exception.
That afternoon, beside the red carpet at the Golden Falcon Awards venue, countless media outlets waited intently for the news to emerge. All the guests present today have a seat in the Chinese film industry. They don't want to miss the status.
A star director walked down the red carpet in gorgeous clothes, the sound of flashing lights kept ringing, and the media frequently took pictures and asked questions, trying to get some different news and report it quickly. Suddenly, a car drove up at the end of the venue. A stretched solid black Bentley.
Some sensitive media let out a low exclamation, and then other media also remembered what this car represented, and immediately adjusted the camera to focus, and quickly skipped countless questions in their minds, hoping not to waste every next moment. seconds.
The luxury car came slowly and stopped at the end of the red carpet. The driver got out and opened the door. Zhong Simo, who was wearing a well-tailored silver-gray suit, bent down and got out of the car. Not like myself.
Seeing the appearance of this long-disappeared central figure of a hot topic, all the media became excited, but Zhong Simo seemed to have no intention of coming over to listen to their questions for the time being. After standing still, he looked back into the car and stretched out his hand.
Under the unbelievable eyes of the media, Shen Yu, who was wearing a flaxen checked suit, held Zhong Simo's hand and got out of the car.
A burst of exclamation resounded from the crowd, the media felt their heads were going to explode, and desperately wanted to squeeze in to ask a few questions, but Zhong Simo seemed to have heard nothing, and took Shen Yu's hand and stepped onto the red carpet. Blanket strode towards the venue, but Shen Yu seemed a little embarrassed. He smiled apologetically at the media who asked questions, and turned his head to follow Zhong Simo's pace.
No matter how unbelievable the media outside the venue were and thousands of speculations poured out of their minds, Zhong Simo and Shen Yu still acted like nothing happened, wrote their names on the signature board with a few strokes, and exchanged greetings with the host who didn't dare to ask more questions , find your adjacent seat and take a seat.
Zhong Simo made his finale appearance in order to avoid trouble, and the awards ceremony officially began shortly after they were seated. Among the various speeches, songs and dances, the awards were awarded from small to large. As Zhong Simo expected, "Song of Amazon" won the best action design award and the best soundtrack, but lost the best film and best music. director.
The winner of these two awards was an old academic director. His literary film "Nothing to Say" tells the story of a girl who lost the love of her family and struggles all her life. It delicately tells the story of society from a female perspective. The fortunes and misfortunes of women in the novel are ordinary and great.
Zhong Simo went to the backstage halfway through the awards ceremony, and he was also invited to be the award presenter of the Golden Falcon Awards this year, but he will only know what awards he is in charge of.
There was an empty seat beside him, and Shen Yu felt that there were many indistinct eyes all the time exploring him in the arena. He calmly clasped his hands and looked at the awards platform with a smile on his face. few.
Finally, in the second half of the awards ceremony, the Best Actress award was awarded to the middle-aged actress who starred in "Nothing to Say". Shen Yu sat up straight unknowingly, suddenly a little nervous.
Although he knew in his heart that the possibility of him winning the best actor award with "Song of the Amazon" was not very high, but when things came to an end, Shen Yu still inevitably felt mixed emotions of anticipation and avoidance. .
The subtitles on the screen behind the awards stage changed, and the five golden characters of "Best Actor" appeared on the black and gold background, and two award presenters, a man and a woman, appeared from the side of the stage amidst the eyes of everyone.
After Shen Yu saw clearly who that person was, he breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't tell whether it was disappointment or something else, and finally smiled, quietly waiting for the result.
Zhong Simo raised his eyes and found Shen Yu blinking at him indifferently among the seats, and stood still in front of the microphone with his award-presenting partner, veteran actress Tao Sheng.
"Then, as you can see, I am very honored to announce the heavyweight award of 'Best Actor' together with Director Zhong Simo." Tao Sheng smiled and spoke generously.
She is in her fifties this year, and she is not as glamorous as a young actress. She dresses casually and elegantly. After all, with her qualifications and status as an "artist", she no longer needs to rely on her clothes to catch people's attention. .
"This year is another year full of vitality for Chinese-language films. Our five nominated actors are all excellent. Each of them has superb acting skills and pursuit of art. However, awards cannot be awarded to everyone. We We must choose the best one among them to win this honor tonight." Tao Sheng said and changed the subject here, "Speaking of Director Zhong, one of these five outstanding actors has a close relationship with you. .”
"Yes, everyone knows that Shen Yu is both an artist in my studio and an actor in my film." Zhong Simo smiled and complained, "It feels like the organizing committee asked me to present this award, It has already clearly told everyone that the award candidates can be eliminated from one to four."
"Does our Golden Falcon Award Organizing Committee have this regulation? Why don't I know?" Tao Sheng heard the words and teased, causing a burst of low laughter from the venue.
Shen Yu also laughed, he was in a very relaxed mood now, when he saw Zhong Simo on stage to present the award, he felt that according to common sense, this award was no longer for him. Anyway, the nomination is recognized, and he still has a long, long way to go in the film industry. The award is not this opportunity, so why worry.
"Actually, I'm thinking about a possibility. No matter what the name I see when I open the envelope later, how about I just say Shen Yu?" Zhong Simo said deliberately, causing everyone to shake their heads.
"Director Zhong, don't forget that I'm on the sidelines to supervise." Tao Sheng continued, raising the sealed envelope in his hand, "The Organizing Committee of the Golden Falcon Award has already put the results into the envelopes in the hands of Director Zhong and me." In the envelope, none of us will know the final result until we open it, so are you ready to know the answer?"
As Tao Sheng's voice fell, the clips of the five nominees' nominated works were played on the big screen behind the awards stage. Cheng Xiao, played by Shen Yu, intercepted the clip of falling into the river. , five camera positions were aimed at five actors at the same time, and their real-time reactions were projected on the big screen.
Compared with the other four competitors, Shen Yu looked very relaxed, as if he had decided that he would not win the award, and watched the two people on the awarding platform open the envelopes in their hands respectively.
Tao Sheng glanced down at the content, with a strange look on his face, and looked up at Zhong Simo who was beside him with a normal expression in surprise. The people present just thought she was joking and acting again, and laughed a few times.
"Director Zhong, are you here to announce?" Tao Sheng ignored the laughter at the scene and said to Zhong Simo meaningfully.
"I'll do it." Zhong Simo put away the envelope, straightened the microphone and cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention to himself.
"The winner of the 32nd Golden Falcon Award for Best Actor, Shen Yu."
"..."
For a while, everyone couldn't tell whether Zhong Simo was joking or serious, but he didn't explain, and continued to read the content on the card.
"He is undoubtedly a qualified and meticulous actor from a major, and he has mastered enough rich and exciting performance methods in the interpretation of various small roles for many years."
After reading one sentence, everyone realized that Zhong Simo was not joking, and there was a burst of discussion in the venue. The director switched the camera and projected Shen Yu's surprised and bewildered expression on the big screen alone.
"In the second half of last year, he finally became popular with the web drama "Chasing the Wind" he performed with heart, but he did not lower his requirements to stop honing his acting skills. In the movie "Song of the Amazon", the mercenary boy Cheng Xiao he played had a complicated life experience. , the emotions have undergone major reversals several times, requiring extremely strong explosive power and control, he has undoubtedly done the best, bringing the audience a real and sensible Cheng Xiao."
"We awarded Shen Yu the sacred award of Best Actor, not only for his superb acting skills, but also for his gentle and never-give-up spirit in the industry. I hope that all Chinese filmmakers can keep their original intentions and work hard. Dedicate more and better works."
"Let's congratulate the winner of the 32nd Best Actor—Shen Yu!" After Zhong Simo finished his award speech, Tao Sheng took over the conversation and said loudly with a smile.
The eyes of the audience were all focused, the director pulled the camera in, and the audience who were watching the live broadcast could almost see the tears in Shen Yu's eyes clearly.
In the past six years of his unknown acting career, he never imagined that one day he would sit in the venue of the Golden Falcon Awards and listen to the director Zhong Simo, who has always admired him, read his name and the award speech. But now, not only have these been realized, but Zhong Simo has also become his lifelong partner.
In full view of everyone, Shen Yu took a deep breath, got up and walked towards the stage step by step. His mind is blank, but his steps are so firm and steady, because as the award speech says, he has spent enough time and hard work to lay a solid foundation before walking here.
Tao Sheng moved aside understandingly, and when Shen Yu stepped onto the stage to take the trophy from Zhong Simo, his hands were still trembling uncontrollably.
"Thank you to the organizing committee for awarding this award to me. I am very honored. Thank you to my family, friends, and fans..." Shen Yu's voice was trembling, and he took a few breaths. Zhong Simo smiled behind him Looking at him intently, she gently raised her hand and patted his shoulder.
As if taking a sedative, Shen Yu finally stabilized his tone and bowed deeply to the camera in the audience, "Thank you to all the people who encouraged me and helped me along the way of my growth, I'm going to keep going like I always have."
"Does Director Zhong have anything else to say?" Tao Sheng was keenly aware of something, and asked suddenly before Shen Yu stepped down from the stage.
"Let me think about it." Zhong Simo smiled, "Did I say before that there are some questions to be answered after "Song of the Amazon" is released?"
The guests present and the audience watching the live broadcast were startled and concentrated, and the director immediately cut the camera to the position that just framed Shen Yu and Zhong Simo.
Zhong Simo didn't say anything, just looked at Shen Yu who was a few steps away with a smile, as if he was the only one left in his eyes.
Shen Yu also smiled, without any words or signs, before everyone could react, he boldly and naturally took half a step forward and kissed Zhong Simo's lips.
Three seconds later, the solemn shallow kiss without any erotic meaning ended. Zhong Simo took Shen Yu's hand, and before everyone could react, they walked off the awards platform and sat back in their seats.
No matter how exciting things happened, the awarding process still had to continue, and some subsequent ceremonies unfolded one after another, but people's attention was no longer on them. The director frequently cut the camera to the two people in the auditorium. Sitting side by side with smiles, talking in a low voice from time to time, they looked very normal, but the left and right hands of the two were placed on the bright side generously, and their fingers were intertwined, and they never let go.
After the awards ceremony, Shen Yu and Zhong Simo quietly left through the side door, and did not attend the subsequent dinner party, which made all the media who were scratching their heads and wanting to know more about the inside story come to nothing. The unwilling people tried to contact Zhong Simo The studio, but found that they also rejected all inquiries from the outside as if they had negotiated.
When the hot search on Weibo was paralyzed due to this explosive news, Zhong Simo's personal Weibo account finally posted a Weibo that made programmers want to cry without tears, raising the popularity to the peak again.
The simple words "I love you" are accompanied by a selfie of the two in front of a convenience store at an unknown intersection. The photo is not very clear, even a little skewed, it seems that it was just a random shot, but the eyebrows and eyes of the two people in the picture make up for all the shortcomings.
Compared with Director Zhong Da, who likes to make troubles for people who eat melons, the information given by Shen Yu's Weibo is much clearer.
Mr. Yu did not know where to find the sand sculpture video that he had sent himself on the hot search more than half a year ago, and forwarded it with words, which is also simple but with infinite meaning-"The place where love begins."
Love begins here, perhaps it has been waiting here, waiting for the fateful encounter. For the rest of your life, every joy and joy will be closely related to you.

A few extra episodes will meet with you soon, and some follow-up plot-related stories will be updated in Jinjiang, and some daily cookies may be posted on Weibo as a bonus for everyone.
