Wen Jianing wore a slim black dress and sat quietly in the middle of the awards hall. Although it wasn't in the front row, he had a good view of the front from here, and he could see where Lu Jinlang was sitting as long as he tilted his head slightly.
This year, there is no special time to commemorate Wen Jianing. He has been gradually forgotten by people, and a young man named Ke Xinhang is entering people's field of vision.
He looks more handsome and talented than Wen Jianing. Many people can predict his bright future, but no one knows that what is imprisoned in his body is Wen Jianing's soul.
It's just that if he is still Wen Jianing, will the most splendid light shine on him instead of Lu Jinlang
Lu Jinlang looked very calm. Compared with the previous international awards, the Academy Awards seemed to have less weight.
Still, it should be hoped for.
The order of the awards ceremony is still the same as last year. The newcomer award is placed before several important awards. Although the weight is a little lighter, it is highly anticipated by the audience, because one of the nominees is Ke Xinhang.
Wen Jianing sat in his seat and couldn't help but get a little excited when the newcomer award was presented. It stands to reason that this should not be his pursuit. He started a lot higher than these young people, and he was somewhat invincible when he won the award, but he still couldn't help feeling excited.
After the presenters took the stage, the scene of Wen Jianing's shot would appear on the big screen from time to time.
Lu Jinlang leaned back in a relaxed way, one leg resting on the other, his hands crossed on his knees, he looked at the big screen, the Wen Jianing inside was clean and beautiful, with a decent smile on his face.
Sitting next to Lu Jinlang is Wei Lun. After seeing Wen Jianing appearing in the camera, he lightly bumped Lu Jinlang with his elbow with interest and asked, "How? Are you confident?"
Lu Jinlang asked softly, "Are you asking me or him?"
Wei Lun laughed twice, "Of course I asked."
Lu Jinlang said unabashedly, "I have confidence in him."
There is not much suspense, the presenter announced that the person who won the best newcomer award is Ke Xinhang.
Wen Jianing stood up. Although he was excited, he didn't seem to make himself look like a sullen boy in the camera.
The whole award hall remembered the warm applause.
People sitting around him gave him hugs and congratulated him.
When he walked to the passage, he was stopped by Cao Songquan halfway, so he must give him a big hug.
The camera has been chasing after him.
Cao Songquan gave him a kiss, but he firmly refused, and bursts of laughter broke out at the scene.
Fang Wei was inconvenient to sit in the middle, so he stood up to congratulate him.
Wen Jianing bowed his hands and thanked him.
When passing by Lu Jinlang's row of seats, the two were far apart, just looked at each other, and then he walked onto the podium.
Wen Jianing picked up and waved his golden statuette from the presenter.
He stood in front of the microphone, adjusted his direction, and then said: "I am very grateful to the organizing committee for awarding me this award. For me, there are many people who need to be thanked. I can't say who is more important than whom, because they are missing. Either one, I may not be able to make it to where I am today."
When he said this, he found Lu Jinlang in the crowd, as if Lu Jinlang was always a conspicuous presence no matter where he was.
He went on to say: "To the friends and family who care about me and support me, no amount of gratitude is enough. If there is a chance, I hope to have more opportunities to stand on this podium, and slowly My gratitude goes to everyone. Thank you."
Immediately after his acceptance speech, the host said, "We welcome you to this podium every year."
Wen Jianing smiled and said thank you, and the audience burst into warm applause again.
He got off the podium and slowly returned to his seat. The mood gradually calmed down, but began to look forward to it even more. What to expect? He didn't even know that if Lu Jinlang became the best actor again, the distance between them would get bigger and bigger, and he might not be able to catch up in his life. But so what? At this time, who else is more convincing than Lu Jinlang to take this award? Wen Jianing felt that he might be more nervous than Lu Jinlang.
However, in the end, no one expected that this year's Academy Award for Best Actor was a big upset, and the winner was not Lu Jinlang, but another middle-aged actor.
When the winner was announced, the camera did not move away from Lu Jinlang's face for a long time, as if he wanted to capture his lost look, but nothing was captured. Lu Jinlang's expression was very calm, and he even stood up and smiled to the winner. Congratulations.
Wen Jianing was a little lost for a moment.
When he came back to his senses, he saw that the winner was already standing on the podium, and he almost burst into tears with excitement.
At the end of the award ceremony, Wen Tinghuan called Wen Jianing and said that he was waiting for him to go to the celebration banquet in the parking lot, but Wen Jianing said to Wen Tinghuan, "Wait a moment."
He still left the special channel for artists, looking for Lu Jinlang on the road to the parking lot. Lu Jinlang did not win the award, and Wen Jianing was not sure whether he would go to the celebration banquet.
In the end, Wen Jianing met Lu Jinlang in the parking lot. Lu Jinlang was standing next to his nanny car and talking to Lu Yunan who was sitting in the driver's seat.
Wen Jianing walked over.
Lu Yunan saw him first, and quickly greeted him, "Xinhang?"
Lu Jinlang turned around and asked, "Why are you still here? Didn't you go to the celebration party?"
Wen Jianing asked, "Aren't you going to go?"
Lu Jinlang said, "I'm about to go over there." After he finished speaking, he paused and invited Wen Jianing, "Would you like to go over with me in my car?"
Wen Jianing hesitated for a moment, agreed to Lu Jinlang, and then called Wen Tinghuan.
Wen Ting said angrily: "Seeing the color and forgetting your friends!"
Wen Jianing did not refute her.
Wen Jianing used to ride in Lu Jinlang's nanny car for a while, but since he had his own car, Lu Jinlang didn't often let Lu Yunan drive him to pick him up.
As soon as I got in the car, all I could recall were some ambiguous memories.
Lu Jinlang unbuttoned his tuxedo jacket and asked him, "What? Are you worried about me?"
In fact, if I had to say it, that kind of emotion was probably worried, worried that Lu Jinlang would be depressed.
Lu Jinlang smiled, "It's okay, I'm not unhappy."
Wen Jianing asked him, "Don't you feel disappointed?"
Lu Jinlang said, "It's a little bit, but that's it."
He has already won the Best Actor for two times. It seems that he has no regrets whether he won this time, and his acting skills have been recognized enough.
Wen Jianing smiled suddenly, thinking that if it were himself, he would probably be disappointed to death.
The two of them were in such a closed environment, and their bodies were so close together that Wen Jianing could feel his legs touch Lu Jinlang's knees from time to time.
The ambiguous yet restrained atmosphere made Wen Jianing feel a little breathless.
The two of them shouldn't have gotten to where they are now, but Lu Jinlang doesn't want to talk about their relationship or future physical relationship. What should I do? Lu Jinlang said that he didn't control his own heart, so why should Wen Jianing control his own heart? Lu Jinlang was tempted, but also flinched. But if Lu Jinlang wanted to go one step further, what if he was reluctant to take that step back
Emotion and reason are pulling each other.
Wen Jianing said softly, "Do you still remember Wen Jianing?"
It seemed a bit abrupt to bring up this topic at this time, and he heard Lu Jinlang's slightly surprised voice, "Of course I remember, what's wrong?"
Wen Jianing said: "In fact, he has always regarded you as an opponent. If he knows that you don't even care about the Academy Award, he will definitely be very sad."
After a brief silence, Lu Jinlang asked, "How do you know?"
Wen Jianing said: "I said he was my idol."
"Not only," Lu Jinlang said suddenly, "is it as simple as being an idol?"
Wen Jianing looked up at him strangely, because he felt that his tone was a little unusual.
Lu Jinlang said to him, "Do you know the difference between worship and admiration?"
Wen Jianing said, "Huh?"
Lu Jinlang continued: "I don't really want to say something disrespectful to the deceased, but Wen Jianing has passed away, you have to buy his house firmly and live in it without any qualms, I think it's beyond the idol worship of movie fans. range."
Wen Jianing's eyes widened, he understood what Lu Jinlang meant.
Lu Jinlang said: "Maybe you don't remember, but I still remember when I first saw you, you told me that you were a fan of Wen Jianing, and the first thing you said to me was relationship. to Wen Jianing."
In fact, the first time they met was earlier. They had met at Wen Jianing's funeral, but Lu Jinlang didn't remember it anymore.
"No," Wen Jianing said, "I think you must have misunderstood."
Lu Jinlang reached out and touched his head, "Forget it, it doesn't matter. You just feel happy."
Wen Jianing had a lot of things he wanted to explain, but before he could say it, Lu Jinlang came back with one sentence.
The venue of the banquet was very close to the awarding hall, when Lu Yunan had already driven the car. Lu Jinlang got out of the car first, then stretched out his hand and pulled Wen Jianing to let him get out of the car.
Wen Jianing was a little out of shape, not knowing whether to be funny or sad.
Lu Jinlang had misunderstood. This misunderstanding was not that important because it was easy to explain, but Lu Jinlang didn't need Wen Jianing's explanation. He already felt that it didn't matter.
Wen Jianing knew that Lu Jinlang thought that in the relationship between the two of them, it was his own unrequited love from beginning to end. However, Wen Jianing, who clearly knew each other's feelings better, was hesitating and hesitating.
The awards ceremony was over, and the next day's media covered the headlines on the entertainment page with Lu Jinlang's missing the little golden figure. Because the pre-rendering has already analyzed too many possible results, and they are all done step by step, the audience also feels boring. On the contrary, Lu Jinlang, who did not win the award, became big news.
Some websites did everything possible to select a photo of Lu Jinlang looking a little absent-minded, ignoring that the scene was clearly a screenshot before the Best Actor award.
Wen Tinghuan took a tablet computer to watch entertainment news. One of them was an interview with Wen Jianing after the celebration banquet, and she asked what she thought about Lu Jinlang's failure to win the best actor. .
Wen Jianing drank some wine at the time and said directly: "He got it. The previous international film festival was already the best actor."
The reporter was a little tricky and asked: "Do you mean that the domestic awards are no longer important?"
Wen Jianing replied, "Of course not. What I want to express is that even if Lu Jinlang won an award, he cannot cover up his strength. If he won the award, he deserves it. If he does not win the award, he is also the uncrowned king."
Having said that, Wen Tinghuan came forward to interrupt the interview and took Wen Jianing away.
Now re-watching this video, Wen Tinghuan couldn't help rolling her eyes, "When you mention Lu Jinlang, it's your point. Pick up the microphone and dare to say anything."
Wen Jianing rubbed his forehead, "Drink a little too much."
Wen Tinghuan said, "Tell the truth after drinking? He didn't win an award. You look even more angry than him."
Wen Jianing beat his head and did not deny it, but also said: "Don't say it, I won't talk nonsense in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw someone walking by outside the lounge, he quickly stood up and chased out, shouting, "Jian Jun?"
The young man who had passed by looked back at him, opened his mouth and made no sound.
Wen Jianing had already smelled: "Why are you here?"
Zheng Xin, who was walking in front of Jian Jun, turned around and walked towards Wen Jianing when he heard the words, and said at the same time, "This is a new recruit just signed by the company, is Tingting there?"
Wen Jianing nodded and called Wen Tinghuan out.
Zheng Xin said: "Just in time, come to my office with me, I have something to explain to you."
When he got to Zheng Xin's office, he asked them all to sit down, first formally introduced Jian Jun's identity to Wen Jianing and Wen Tinghuan, and then said to Wen Tinghuan, "You will take Jian Jun with you for the time being."
Wen Tinghuan was a little surprised to hear the words, "But Xinhang is here..."
"Xinhang and Jian Jun will make the same movie together next time, and the work content should be the same for a long time. You have nothing to be busy with," Zheng Xin said.
Wen Tinghuan said, "What about life? I can't take care of both ends."
Zheng Xin looked at her seriously, "You are an agent, not Xinhang's nanny. If you can't bring two artists to do it, then don't do it."
Wen Jianing heard the words and said quickly: "Sister Ting, it's okay, I will take care of my life by myself."
Zheng Xin said, "Don't worry, Xinhang, the company will hire another driver and life assistant for you. In the future, Tinghuan will only be responsible for your work."
Wen Jianing understands Zheng Xin's approach. Wen Tinghuan is getting too close to him now. She does have a bit of a nanny smell, and she is also a woman. In this way, she will inevitably be emotional when dealing with work. It is better to separate public and private matters. , to hire a life assistant for him.
Just like Lu Yunan following Lu Jinlang.
Wen Jianing said to Wen Tinghuan, "Sister Ting, I think this is good."
Wen Tinghuan might still be a little unhappy in her heart, but she didn't object anymore. She stretched out a hand to Jian Jun and introduced herself: "Wen Tinghuan."
Jian Jun quickly took her hand and said, "I'm Jian Jun."
Wen Jianing thought for a while, then stood up and said, "I'll treat you tonight, let's have a meal together." After speaking, he said to Zheng Xin, "Together?"
Zheng Xin smiled and shook his head, "I promised my wife to go back to her parents' house in the evening. You young people can go get together. You don't need to ask me to sign my bill."
Wen Jianing smiled and said, "Thanks then."
The original purpose of his proposal to eat this meal was to ease the relationship between Wen Tinghuan and Jian Jun. After all, Wen Tinghuan didn't want to accept Jian Jun at first, and Jian Jun probably wouldn't be too happy to hear Wen Tinghuan's rejection.
Three people went to eat fat beef hot pot and asked for a private room.
Wen Jianing said to Wen Tinghuan when he was alone: "I'll give you a chance, go and have a good relationship with people. You know that Lu Jinlang is very optimistic about him, maybe he will be a big star in the future."
Wen Tinghuan asked, "Are you next?"
Wen Jianing was stunned for a moment and realized what she meant, and said with a smile, "Where do you want to go?"
Wen Tinghuan said, "It's not like you who just entered the draft. It suits the taste of people like Lu Jinlang and the others."
Wen Jianing smiled and shook his head, "Impossible."
Wen Tinghuan thought for a while, "Forget it, I don't know what you think anyway. It probably doesn't matter what Lu Jinlang does."
