Just after the Chinese New Year, the cast and crew of "Stalking" flew to Berlin to participate in the film festival. The film festival lasted for ten days. On the opening day, the crew went to attend the premiere.
Zhou Ziheng and Xia Xiqing stayed in the hotel for many days in the following days, occasionally sneaking out late at night when no one was around. It was very cold outside, and the two guys in thick down jackets were next to each other. They didn't do anything, just squeezed the streets of Berlin. road. For their relationship, which cannot be exposed, this is enough.
It's cold in Berlin, and it gets even chillier at night. One day at four o'clock in the morning, two people walked to the Berlin Cathedral.
There was no one around. Zhou Ziheng and Xia Xiqing, who were wearing down jackets, were standing at the door of the church. Xia Xiqing was wearing a dark blue woolen hat and looked up at this beautiful and solemn building. The streetlights hit his face, which made it look stunning. His skin was glowingly white.
"You look good."
Xia Xiqing glanced at him and said mockingly, "You're not good-looking. Looking at the black down jacket you're wearing, you look like a movie salesman."
Both of them laughed. Zhou Ziheng took out a lollipop from his pocket, tore off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into his mouth, "What are you doing here? We can't go in at this point."
Xia Xiqing raised his head, white mist came out of his mouth when he spoke, and the tip of his nose was red.
"We weren't allowed in in the first place."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to grab the lollipop from Zhou Ziheng's mouth. Zhou Ziheng pulled his neck to prevent him from grabbing it. The two of them fought for a while, but Zhou Ziheng finally gave in. He reached out and pinched Xia Xiqing's face and joked, "A bad guy like you can't go to heaven."
"What's so good about heaven?" Xia Xiqing kicked a stone away from his feet, holding a lollipop in his mouth and looking at the gorgeous dome of the cathedral, "But... if you are in heaven, just pretend I didn't tell you."
Hearing that he had withdrawn his words for his own sake, Zhou Ziheng felt very happy, "Then if I were really here, you really wouldn't be allowed to go to heaven."
This is a meaningless assumption, and I don’t know what the need for discussion is.
But... it's not completely unnecessary.
"If a sinister and cunning person like me can't go to heaven..." Xia Xiqing remembered the lyrics of a song. He turned around, took out the lollipop in his mouth, and turned it around with his fingers. The crystal ball was faintly dancing. glinting in the light.
Beautiful syllables uttered from lips stained with honey.
"killwayheaven."
Fight your way to see you in heaven.
When the awards ceremony comes, there is a lot of suspicion on the Internet about the awards of this film festival. Most people are not optimistic about Zhou Ziheng. After all, he is so young and the possibility of winning a category A award in one fell swoop is really low. But since "Tracking" "After the premiere, almost all the movie reviews circulated on the Internet were extremely positive.
[Zhou Ziheng and "Tracking" are both dark horses at this year's film festival. ]
This is the comment that appears the most.
Although fans are looking forward to Zhou Ziheng winning the award, they can only lower their profile online and simply say "nomination is affirmation" and dare not say more for fear of being slapped in the face. Even words of encouragement can only be told to Zhou Ziheng on his own Weibo.
The time of the film festival passed quickly, and the awards ceremony finally arrived. When entering the venue, Song Nian held Kuncheng's hand and walked in front, followed closely by Zhou Ziheng and Xia Xiqing, side by side.
Zhou Ziheng was wearing a full black suit and an ankle-length black coat draped over his shoulders, looking like a noble man. Xia Xiqing wore a dark gray British-style coat with a tight belt, narrow waist and long legs, in a yuppie style.
There were six Chinese-language films that were shortlisted for the main competition. Everyone gathered together to take a group photo. Many domestic media also flew in for interviews. Compared with other films, this film won the "Best Actor" and "Best Actor" awards. "Track", which was nominated for both "Best Director" and "Best Director", is undoubtedly a favorite for interviews. However, the crew and creators have a very conservative attitude towards the awards and did not talk too much.
It was fine for others, but as soon as Xia Xiqing arrived, the reporters' questions became all kinds of.
"Xi Qing? You didn't get nominated this time. Do you feel a little unbalanced?"
"Xi Qing, look here, will you still film next time?"
"Xi Qing, Xi Qing, can you tell us about your relationship with Media Asia? Why did you decide to participate in this movie in the first place?"
"Xi Qing, why did you enter the entertainment industry? Didn't your family stop you?"
Xia Xiqing had a headache from the noise. He took a microphone and said, "Listen, I will only say this for the last time. I have not entered the entertainment industry. After filming this film, I will not take on new films and will focus on my own career. "
He paused, "Also, I record reality shows and make movies because I am a fan of Zhou Ziheng. I participate in these all because of Zhou Ziheng."
He said the last sentence frankly, and no one thought about it in other ways.
Only Zhou Ziheng was stunned for a moment, but was quickly dragged away by Xia Xiqing.
There were so many people at the scene that no one cared to say anything. After the interview, the crew returned to the designated lounge.
Although Zhou Ziheng behaved very appropriately during the interview, Xia Xiqing knew very well that he must be nervous.
As soon as he entered the lounge, Zhou Ziheng sat on the sofa without saying a word, picked up a glass of water and drank silently. Xia Xiqing sat next to him and gently touched his back. Telling him not to be nervous now was basically ineffective, so he didn't plan to say anything and just stayed with him silently.
Kuncheng was also quite nervous. Although he had won many awards abroad, they were all non-mainstream niche awards after all. He walked back and forth nervously in the room, "It's okay, the nomination is already very good, very good, It will be better in the future.”
Song Nian couldn't help but laugh, "I have now discovered that not being nominated is a good thing. I feel relaxed."
Xia Xiqing saw that she was about to wear a gift and eat cake, and reminded her, "You must have some qualities as a female star."
Song Nian stuck out his tongue and saw that Zhou Ziheng was still lowering his head and holding his hands tightly together. He held back what he wanted to say and took a sip of coffee.
Not long after, a staff member walked in and told them that the awards ceremony would start soon. Kuncheng nodded repeatedly, put on his coat, "Let's go."
Song Nian also clapped his hands and took his dinner bag, "ok."
Zhou Ziheng stood up blankly, ready to follow them, but his elbow was pulled by Xia Xiqing, and he heard Xia Xiqing say from behind, "Director Kun, you go first, I have something to tell him."
"Okay, then hurry up and don't delay."
When the door closed, Zhou Ziheng turned around and asked gently what was wrong. Xia Xiqing lowered his eyes and carefully arranged his suit jacket.
"Actually, I really hate straightforward expressions. It sounds very..." He tried hard to think of the exact wording. "It's very brainless, too simple, and doesn't have that carefully designed sense of value. Sometimes it's like this." The cost of this method is also very high, and it requires a lot of courage, but I still want to say, "
He took a deep breath and raised his head to look at Zhou Ziheng.
"I love you."
"This is probably the most direct expression in my life." Xia Xiqing raised the corners of his lips and repeated, "I love you, Zhou Ziheng. Don't doubt it."
"You will always be the best actor in my heart."
Zhou Ziheng's eyes were numb, and the string that was taut all over his body suddenly broke. There was a snap and it was torn off by Xia Xiqing without any warning. The most important thing in his life has been confirmed, and at this moment, everything else seems unimportant.
He hugged Xia Xiqing, hugging his most precious person in a small corner of this grand award ceremony.
"I...then my probation period."
"Idiot." Xia Xiqing hugged him back, "It's over a long time ago."
At the beginning of the award ceremony, Zhou Ziheng and Xia Xiqing were separated by Director Kuncheng. After Xia Xiqing's confession, Zhou Ziheng was surprised to find that he was indeed not so panicked. Even he didn't know the reason for this.
But what he didn't know was that Xia Xiqing panicked.
He was so nervous that he couldn't concentrate. He didn't remember any of the people in front of him who came on stage or spoke. He didn't have the slightest impression.
The Best Director Award has been awarded, but it is a pity that Kuncheng missed the little silver bear. However, his mentality was quite stable and he just smiled and said, "There will be next time. Don't worry, I'm still so young."
That's why everyone's eyes are focused on the upcoming Best Actor award, and clips of their performances have begun to appear on the big screen.
Xia Xiqing's palms were covered with sweat, and his heart was beating like a drum, panicking to death. He thought about how he would comfort Zhou Ziheng once he missed the award. Tell him there is still a chance? Are there many awards in China
No, neither is good.
These were overturned by him.
Because he really hopes that Zhou Ziheng can win the award, more than anyone else.
He was so absorbed in thinking that Xia Xiqing even missed the host's lengthy string of words. When he heard the cheers from the audience, he came back to his senses in a panic and hurriedly grabbed Kuncheng's hand next to him, "Who is it? Who is it?"
Kuncheng was so excited that he almost cried, "Ziheng, Ziheng won the award."
"real?"
While applauding, Song Nian turned to Xia Xiqing and said, "Yes, it's self-promotion!"
It was so tight that I could hardly breathe, and my heart exploded the moment I heard the name, like fireworks. Xia Xiqing's eyes followed Zhou Ziheng's back, watching him step by step onto the much-anticipated awards podium.
That was his lover, his boy.
His nose suddenly felt sore. It turned out that there were times when he couldn't control his emotions.
Zhou Ziheng bowed deeply to the audience, took the award from the presenter, calmly said thank you in German, and then switched to Chinese. He took a deep breath and smiled.
"To be honest, I didn't expect to win the award today, so I didn't even prepare my acceptance speech properly. Wait a minute, you may hear the most confusing speech ever."
This little humor made everyone in the audience laugh, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Zhou Ziheng said seriously, "I feel very lucky to be nominated together with so many seniors in the film industry." He paused, "First of all, I want to thank Director Kuncheng, thank you for your guidance and help, you are in my heart He is the uncrowned king. I must also thank the entire crew of more than 300 people. Thank you for your efforts. Because of you, Gao Kun and "Tracking" are possible. This award not only belongs to me, but also to all of you. ”
There was a burst of applause from the audience. Zhou Ziheng waited and continued, "Then, I want to thank my parents and family. They gave me enough freedom to do whatever I wanted to do and gave me full encouragement. , I am very grateful. And the fans who have always supported me, you have always been my motivation to persevere. I know that no matter what happens, you will always be there.”
Xia Xiqing smiled and applauded him. At this moment, his heart was filled with pride and emotion. Zhou Ziheng standing on the stage was so charming and dazzling.
"Finally, I still have something to say. Not long ago, someone asked me why, as an actor, I chose to study physics. In fact, this was the first time someone asked me. I was very excited and surprised, so I never I have told him the answer to everyone. In turn, I believe everyone will be confused, why do I insist on being an actor if I choose to study physics?" Zhou Ziheng smiled, "It's a bit high-sounding. My original intention was to use my performance to expose things that cannot be noticed in the world. Someone once told me that I was an immature idealist.”
Xia Xiqing was stunned for a moment and then laughed. This guy was getting further and further away as he talked.
"But later, as I continued to act, I discovered that I am actually an emotionally deficient person. As Director Kun said, I cannot act out the most complex and ordinary emotions of an ordinary person. I even started to think, One of the reasons why I like to study physics may be a kind of escape mentality. Physics is the most essential expression of the world. It can express the principles of how the world works in the most refined formulas. It is simple, pure, and unlike humans, and it is too difficult to understand. ." Zhou Ziheng raised his head and stood on the awards podium looking at the person in the audience.
The moment their eyes met, Xia Xiqing suddenly understood something.
His rapidly accelerating heartbeat seemed like a strong omen.
"As an actor, I have played too many people and simulated too many emotions. In fact, I know very well that that is not my life, nor my emotions. I am just a fairly flexible container. Until one day , I met a person, and this container finally had what it was supposed to carry.”
Hearing these words, Xia Xiqing's tears suddenly welled up and her mind went blank.
Only the heart beats eagerly, as if trying to leave itself and pursue the light it wants to pursue.
"After meeting you, the emotions surging in my chest are really me. They belong to Zhou Ziheng and come from Xia Xiqing."
The moment this sentence appeared with simultaneous translation, the audience burst into applause. No one thought that at the most successful moment of this famous young actor, he would choose to announce his love affair to the world. Countless people turned their heads and applauded to look at the other person in this grand confession.
Xia Xiqing held back the tears for a long time before he held back the tears in his eyes. He looked at the person on the stage with red eyes, pursed his lips and showed a slight smile.
Zhou Ziheng also raised the corner of his mouth, looking across the sea of people at the pair of eyes that he had been pursuing for fifteen years, "No, vice versa."
"It originated from Zhou Ziheng and belongs to Xia Xiqing."
Under the guidance of the star fragments, the arrogant little rose restrained its sharp thorns and exchanged darkness for moonlight.
Take a leap and fall into the soft universe.
Caught permanently.

The author has something to say: There is a double update today. I am afraid that some friends may have missed the last chapter, so I would like to say something special~
This article has finally come to an end. This ending is the ending I envisioned when I started the article. I feel very satisfied that I can write it out properly. I know everyone is reluctant to part with it, and so am I, but the story of self-study will not It's over, let them continue in their world. During the three months of serialization, I am very grateful for everyone's support.
In fact, I was under a lot of pressure when I wrote this article. I was in the first semester of graduate school when I was serializing, and I had heavy coursework and tight time. It happened that my grades for this article were not very good, and there was no exposure. At that time, a friend advised me to cut down the outline and settle the score as soon as possible. There are always reasons for poor grades. Two or three hundred thousand words of romance novels would be enough. But I’m a little unwilling to do so. I haven’t finished the story I want to write, and you are really cute. You talk to me in the comment area every day. I can’t bear to think about it. Reading comments after nine o’clock is the happiest and happiest thing in my day. It was you who gave me confidence during the time of anticipation. And most of the comments in the comment area came from everyone's spontaneous Amway. I know that, and I am really grateful to everyone.
It can be said that it is because of you that I persisted and became the complete Zhou Ziheng and Xia Xiqing.
Regarding the two of them, I want to wait until the end of my extra chapter to talk about them, because there are many more stories about them in the extra chapter. The werewolf killing that I promised you, and the stories after coming out to the world will all appear in the extra chapter.
After finishing the extra chapter, I need to take a good rest. In fact, these days I have started to build the world view of "Everyone Is Not Human". This time I want to break out of my comfort zone and try to write a plot with a large framework. The passion of young people also includes intrigues and fights. The story takes place in a modern fictional world where monsters, half-demon, and humans coexist. There are fierce conflicts between different races. The great monster Jiufeng who was killed is reborn into a human body to trace the truth about his death, which leads to a larger conspiracy. This book also has a strong double-A setting. He talks coolly and is handsome, but is attacked by ruthless people but rarely attacks. If you like it, you can click on the column to save it and wait for me to publish it~
Yesterday, a reader confessed her love to me on Weibo. I said thank you, but she said to me, "You're welcome, you deserve to be liked." To be honest, I burst into tears at the time.
I am so happy to have you accompany me to finish writing this article.
Love you guys, see you in the episode~
-neat
ps: If you post about "I Only Like Your Personality" on Weibo, don't write about Xia Xiqing and self-study cp, because there are sensitive words (xi) in it that will be blocked by Weibo and cannot be searched~
I didn't think carefully about the name.
