After this incident broke out, Du Yunxiu asked Fu Zihan how he would deal with it. After all, on the one hand, he is the singer of the company's Tianwang level, and on the other hand, he is the best buddy when they were studying together. Fu Zihan didn't answer at that time, but today's magazine, after ESE hinted that it was Pei Qing who seduced Li Xiao, suddenly broke out a lot of news about Li Xiao playing with female artists.
Du Yunxiu flipped through the pages.
Several female artists above broke out that they had a relationship with Li Xiao, and said that they were sincerely devoted to this relationship. Such rhetoric is the best way to maintain their image. The more sincere they are, the more they contrast Li Xiao's fickleness. Choosing this time to reveal that he once had an "intimate relationship" with Li Xiao, it may be because he wants to confide in him, but it is more likely to be self-promotion, taking the opportunity to gain exposure.
It's just that there are so many scandals about Li Xiao at the same time...
Is it really just a coincidence
Du Yunxiu thought of the young man with amber eyes, the young man with an exotic accent who couldn't pronounce his own name, and thought of how he was ridiculed after his grandfather's funeral, "Be your big star, Don't meddle in the company's affairs."
At that time, the other party said to himself:
"From now on, I will only have you to accompany me... Grandpa's crown glory, I can't let it be destroyed in my hands."
Du Yunxiu suddenly shuddered.
Supporters of Pei Qing and Li Xiao attacked each other for two or three months. It was not only the media on stage, but also the fans in the audience who accused each other. ESE and Crown Glory also turned against each other for a time, completely prohibiting their own artists from performing on the same stage with each other! During this "chaotic battle", Li Xiao made countless phone calls to Pei Qing, guilty and eager to explain, but Pei Qing simply threw the phone into the trash can.
It is different from the way the two people's relationship was exposed at the beginning.
At that time, Pei Qing did what he had to do. Apart from not taking the initiative to respond to related questions, he didn't mind the reporter's filming at all. But this time, not only did Pei Qing not respond to everything, even the media reporters couldn't find him at all.
—Because he turned down all the contracts and jobs long ago, and asked Liu Zhang to book a plane ticket to go abroad.
Everyone thought it was Li Xiao who dumped Pei Qing and cheated behind Pei Qing's back. Even after the matter became indifferent for a long time, the news of the two people's breakup was not officially published in the newspapers, but Li Xiao deeply understood that Pei Qing would never forgive him.
Pei Qing is such a person.
No matter how the media makes noise or maliciously attacks him, he will never come out to refute or announce anything. But when you thought the incident was over, in fact he has completely pushed you away.
Push you completely out of his life circle.
forever.
The scorching heat of summer seems to still be lingering in the gossip and scandals in the newspapers, but Du Yunxiu already feels the bleakness and coldness of late autumn.
The box office of "A Family of Chinese Medicine" was lackluster. fiasco.
When Du Yunxiu and Fu Zihan went to watch a movie at 8 o'clock on the weekend, the huge movie theater was empty and there were only a few people here and there. People who have seen it say it looks good, but the box office just can't make it up. It is too difficult for such a film to survive among commercial films and imported blockbusters. People who don't have the insight of that era have no idea of wanting to watch it. And those who have some insights do not have the habit of going to the cinema. There is word of mouth, but no box office, that is to say, this situation...
The film failed, and some professional mafia took the opportunity to make trouble.
In addition to the website, some well-known and influential forums also posted posts accusing "Yunxiu is box office poison", "Yunxiu has no acting skills", "Yunxiu didn't listen to the director's instructions on the set, played big names, and was reprimanded by the director" …
Although Du Yunxiu acted as if he didn't care about the stigma of "box office poison" and "playing big names", Feng Jing saw through Du Yunxiu's loss. He poured a glass of red wine, handed it to Yunxiu, and sat next to the other party: "The responsibility is not here. you."
Du Yunxiu took the red wine, hesitated for a while, and then said: "I was thinking, when I listened to your suggestion, maybe..."
Feng Jing gently shook the wine glass.
The wine-red liquid reflected a gorgeous halo along the transparent and beautiful glass.
"There are many factors for the success or failure of a movie. This is undoubtedly a very well-produced work. Although it is true that literary films are not mainstream now, there are also its methods of operation.
"Positioning in the summer file itself is a mistake of the publisher. Although there will be more viewers in the summer vacation, more of them are students. Even if some parents want to watch it, they will first consider the children's choice. Especially strong file imports The introduction of blockbuster films will occupy more theaters, which will greatly reduce the number of broadcasts of "A Family of Chinese Medicine."
Du Yunxiu shook his head: "The director is responsible for the loss at the box office, and as the lead actor, I can't be completely unrelated."
Feng Jing paused for a moment while holding the wine glass, and then looked directly into the other's eyes.
"What do you think of your acting skills?"
"I don't think there is any problem with my acting." Du Yunxiu was taken aback for a moment before replying, his tone was calm and there was a touch of confidence.
Feng Jing raised the corners of his lips and smiled, this is the Yunxiu he knew.
"Since you have done your best, since it's not your acting skills, and since you feel that you have done nothing wrong, then you shouldn't feel guilty.
"The promotion and release of the movie are not in your control. In addition to the wrong release time of this movie, ESE's promotion is also seriously inadequate. Most of the media relations have been dragged into the chaotic battle between Li Xiao and Pei Qing. They didn't promote the movie well. And the incident between Pei Qing and Li Xiao was really too big, distracting a lot of attention...
"The job of an actor is acting. The job of a publicist is publicity. Your job is done well, but theirs, not."
When the word "propaganda" was said, Feng Jing's eyes dimmed obviously. The power of his propaganda director has been completely emptied, even if he wanted to recruit some people from the people who dealt with Li Xiao, he would be powerless.
Li Rui did understand him.
For a person like him who is used to flamboyance and publicity, being restrained in a restricted environment everywhere, that feeling is more difficult than leaving ESE.
Feng Jing paused, then patted Yun Xiu on the shoulder.
"Sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to think too much about commercial things. Although the box office is important, as an actor, you can experience different roles in each play, interpret different interpretations, and gain more experience. Isn't it more important?"
After Du Yunxiu finished listening, he turned his head and stared into Feng Jing's eyes: "You always seem to wake me up when I'm most confused..."
This is really a wonderful thing.
The other party is a completely different type from him, high-profile, public, and exposed. Those rays of light were not like Xie Yi's, which made him admire, but they always surprised him and brought him a deeper shock. Always at the most critical moment, let him reflect on something more deeply.
Du Yunxiu still wanted to talk further with Feng Jing. Just then, Fu Zihan called.
Du Yunxiu picked up the phone.
I only heard Fu Zihan's happy voice: "Yunxiu! You've been shortlisted! You've been nominated for Best Actor!!... There's nothing wrong with making a literary film. The judges generally hate commercial films. The literary film is the best choice." award!"
Du Yunxiu frowned.
I really want to say that he didn't make literary films just to win awards. He liked the script first and wanted to keep trying and challenging himself before taking on the role.
"You still have a great chance of winning the award! Director He is an old director, and the judges will give you high marks because of his face. You can ask ESE to operate it, and I will also use Crown Glory's contacts to do it. Breathe it out! If you can win the award this time, you will be the youngest actor in the entertainment industry!"
The tone of the other party was very excited.
Best actor... best actor.
Isn't this what he has been longing for
Isn't this his initial wish of "wanting to surpass Xie Yi and win the title of best actor"? Since when did this goal, this resentful goal, become a faint shadow in my heart...
Du Yunxiu looked at Feng Jing who was standing beside him.
This person seemed to have trouble with him at first, but provided him with an important opportunity to look at things in the entertainment industry with a different mentality.
It seems... after getting to know him.
The trajectory of my life has gradually deviated.
However, the word "Actor King" is indeed attractive. Not only for him, but for any actor. But, as Fu Zihan said, is it really necessary to rely on the relationship between ESE and Crown Glory to influence the judges
December is almost here.
The chill of winter has penetrated into every corner of the city.
Although the red carpet of the Kimber Awards is still full of stars, the spotlight is shining, and the male and female hosts report every artist and guest walking the red carpet with extremely excited voices, but the artists outside the camera are still shivering with cold. Either stay in the car and don't go out, or wear a fur vest outside and take it off when it's time to enter.
Du Yunxiu also felt that the dress on his body was not warm enough to resist the cold.
The last time Du Yunxiu and Liu Yi entered together, this time "A Family of Traditional Chinese Medicine" only has him as the leading role, and there is no heroine. Originally, he walked the red carpet alone, but Fu Zihan wanted to walk with him.
Du Yunxiu wondered if he was too sensitive.
After Pei Qing and Li Xiao broke up, Fu Zihan's actions...he would have other thoughts. Especially after the concert that night, when he and Feng Jing escorted Pei Qing back to the dedicated lounge.
Feng Jing looked at Liu Zhang very delicately.
Feng Jing said to him in a low voice at that time: "With so much media suddenly pouring into interviews, is it true that Crown Glory hasn't heard anything? Does Pei Qing's manager really know nothing?..."
Du Yunxiu was silent at that time.
Even if Feng Jing didn't make it clear, he still understood Feng Jing's meaning. This matter... Maybe it was simply the high-level executives of Crown Glory who took the opportunity to plan and hype.
The exposure of Li Xiao's incident will be harmful to ESE.
But Crown Glory has been on the commanding heights from beginning to end.
Although he felt uneasy in his heart, Du Yunxiu couldn't refuse Fu Zihan's proposal. The other party's grandfather just passed away this year, and the other party had saved him...
Even though Du Yunxiu had a hunch about many things, he still didn't want to reveal them until the last moment.
Fu Zihan really is a big deal.
The dresses of the two of them were custom-made by the hottest designers in the United States, and they murdered many filmmakers as soon as they entered the venue. The matter of Pei Qing and Li Xiao just happened. At such a sensitive moment, when two men walk on the red carpet together, even if it is not a couple outfit, the media reporters will think wildly.
In particular, one is the youngest heir to Crown Glory, and the other is the most popular actor candidate.
All the live broadcast photographers at the scene gave the two of them a lot of shots. Maybe the weight of the two of them was not enough for the finale, but they occupied the shots for a very long time.
Du Yunxiu saw Liu Yi from afar.
The other party was nominated for Best Actress again this year, and entered the stage together with other male stars. Du Yunxiu nodded with a smile and said hello. Liu Yi received it, and was about to smile back as a gift, but when her eyes touched the person behind Du Yunxiu, there was a flicker, and her red lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just forced a smile.
Du Yunxiu felt that Liu Yi had a strange expression, but the distance was too far, so he gave up the idea of going up to greet him.
Maybe everything... has been a sign since then.
"Are you worried?" Fu Zihan approached and asked.
Du Yunxiu flickered, only then did he realize that Fu Zihan was talking about the actor. Even though ESE seemed to take him seriously, even though Fu Zihan had said that he would help, Du Yunxiu still had no idea.
In fact, he himself felt very conflicted.
It's not the first time he knows the inside story of the entertainment industry, and it's not that he doesn't know how to flexibly work on the judges. Let the company's public relations department take care of it, and use this method to win awards. He is not the first, and he will definitely not be the last. In the entertainment industry, who doesn't rely on affection and connections, who can hold a bowl of water
However, is it really good to use the relationship of ESE and the relationship of Crown Glory to win this award
This matter is different from the last best newcomer award. Last time, ESE operated behind the scenes for Chufeng, but this time, others operated for themselves. Even if I didn't ask for it, I didn't participate, but if I win the award based on human factors, wouldn't it be unfair to other actors...
No one knows better than him the feeling of losing roles and awards time and time again because of human factors in the previous life...
It's just that the word "actor" is too heavy.
It is the ultimate goal that all male artists, whether it is a small screen or a big screen, pursue and strive for!
Especially for Du Yunxiu.
Through this award, regain the lost dignity and identity! From the past life to the present life, from Du Fei who was used as a stepping stone by Xie Yi in the previous life, to Du Yunxiu who lived for himself in this life—he had been thinking about it for more than ten years.
Although Du Yunxiu is not very in favor of using his relationship to win awards, when the title of "Actor" is truly under his nose, no one will be tempted or tempted...
"There will be no problem."
Fu Zihan seemed to see his worry, and comforted him softly. The other party had directly told him twice that he would use the power of Crown Glory to help him win the title of best actor, Du Yunxiu nodded gently.
The awards ceremony began, and the awards were presented one after another.
Finally, when it came to Best Actor, his name and a movie clip of "A Family of Chinese Medicine" appeared on the big screen. At that moment, the camera and the spotlight were aimed at him, and Du Yunxiu's heart almost jumped out.
Coincident with the memory of being nominated for the Golden Cypress Award in the previous life...
It turned out that he had really died once. It turned out that so many years had really passed and so many years had been waited.
The insults and scorn I suffered in my previous life, being ridiculed and used behind my back by my best friend in my previous life, my car accident in my previous life, the pain of my whole body being torn apart when I was knocked into the air... suddenly imprinted in my mind very clearly !
In an instant, the desire to have the title of actor suddenly became extremely strong.
It doesn't matter... any method is fine.
Video information of other nominees was played on the big screen.
Two of the other four are also very vocal about winning the championship. One is an artist under a medium-sized entertainment company, and the other is an artist under Pinyou Entertainment. They have acted in dramas for eight years, but their reputation is not as high as their own.
The time to introduce the film on the screen was actually not long, only a minute, but Du Yunxiu was restless waiting.
The hostess was still the one from last year, with a great sense of humor. Many entertainers laughed easily, but Du Yunxiu couldn't. He didn't know if the other candidates were in the same mood and nervous as him.
Inexplicably, he began to care in his heart and began to calculate.
His popularity and acting skills are all there, and the company is also ESE, if Fu Zihan's Crown Glory is really willing to help...
The hostess was playing tricks again, so that the award presenters couldn't remember who the winner was.
This indeed set off a climax in the atmosphere, but Du Yunxiu couldn't empathize with him. His mind was already too chaotic and complicated, and he began to care too much...
Fu Zihan put his hand on the back of his hand: "It's fine."
Du Yunxiu turned his head slightly, met the other's amber eyes, and was about to pull out a smile. But in the next second, the award presenter read out the winner's name!
-not him.
not him! Not his name.
Not Du Yunxiu.
Du Yunxiu's pupils suddenly enlarged, like falling into an ice cellar, his body suddenly became extremely cold, and all his nerves seemed to be sealed by ice.
why
Why after such a long time of hard work, the final result is still the same as in the previous life—why, it's not his name.
…
Du Yunxiu didn't know how he persisted until the end of the awards ceremony. Unlike the relieved feeling he had barely pretended in his previous life, this time he could hardly hide his great disappointment.
As soon as the awards ceremony was over, he rushed to the bathroom to calm his nerves.
After accumulating the hopes of two lifetimes, expecting too long and too high, falling from the top will be extremely tragic. After an unknown amount of time, I vaguely heard two people talking. Du Yunxiu held his forehead and went back to the night when the awards ceremony ended in his previous life in a daze.
At that time... what was the situation like
"Him? His acting skills are very good, but he wants to compete with you? Don't be ridiculous! In order to become popular, he deliberately let the manager fabricate the scandal with you. How could he figure it out?!" contempt and disdain.
The other person smiled in cooperation.
The one he was familiar with now has a subtle mocking laugh. That was - Xie Yi's voice. The voice that he was most unlikely to recognize in his previous life.
And this time...
"I thought the actor would be Yunxiu." There was a bit of ruffian in the lazy tone.
"I thought so too." Someone snorted softly, with a very young voice, but the pronunciation was not very standard, "At that time, I arranged several judges for him, but I didn't expect this result... It seems that ESE didn't want him to win the award at all. "
"Fortunately we have other arrangements."
"Of course it's impossible to bet all the chips on one person." The other party's voice was extremely calm, "That person is good enough. His contract with Pinyou Entertainment has expired, right? Has he signed with us? Are you circulating the contract?"
"It's been finalized, otherwise we won't put in so much effort in the end. I guess the judges saw that he has survived in the industry for eight years, so give him a consolation prize... The news that he has signed a contract with Crown Glory will wait for the actor's celebration Will it come out after the banquet? Is the new actor joining Crown Glory?"
"Well, this needs to be publicized. Crown Glory will use this to formally transform in the future. Not only will it be a singer, but it will also enter the film and television industry. The actors dug from other companies are enough..."
familiar voice. familiar person.
In just a minute or two, the other party said a lot about the company and its future development. His own name is simply replaced by "he".
There is not a word of regret for myself, no word of regret for myself...
Du Yunxiu really understood the weight of the company and himself in each other's heart. Recalling the tone that the other party put his hand on the back of his hand to tell him not to worry, recalling the stunned and innocent look on the other party's face when the list of winners was announced, recalling Liu Yi walking on the red carpet, seeing that he hesitated to speak Recalling the other party's vow, saying that he would use Crown Glory's relationship to help him, and that the actor would be his...
Everything flashed back and forth in my mind.
In fact, it wasn't that there were no clues, it was just that he didn't want to believe it. Just like back then, he always believed that the relationship between him and Xie Yi was definitely not a relationship of using and being used...
It was only at this moment that the sluggish nerve endings began to regain consciousness.
The back of the hand that was covered by the other party felt like it had been scorched by fire, and the burning feeling was like being slapped hard in the face, and the humiliation poured in like a storm, and the shame and anger reached the extreme.
How could he still not learn! Why doesn't he know the lesson.
Back then it was Xie Yi, but now... it's Fu Zihan.
Back then he didn't dare to step out of the bathroom cubicle, and stood alone until his body was stiff and numb, listening to the ridicule of his most trusted friends and judges in embarrassment, but now...
"Bang -" sound.
The door of the compartment was knocked open by Du Yunxiu vigorously, Fu Zihan and Liu Zhang were visibly startled, never expecting that there would be people inside.
They watched Du Yunxiu walk by without saying a word. The other person's face was pale, as if his whole body was cold, and the corners of his lips were tightly pressed, but there was a fire burning in those dark and charming eyes, which was a huge disappointment. The flames of grief and indignation are so dazzling!
Fu Zihan was completely stunned, and opened his mouth to say something.
However, Du Yunxiu just walked in front of them silently as if he didn't see him and Liu Zhang—he saw them, but he didn't see them in his eyes.
"Yun, Yunxiu..."
After a while, Fu Zihan finally found his voice. However, the bathroom door had closed automatically, and Du Yunxiu had long since disappeared.
The weather in December was wet and cold, and the outside of the awards venue was soaked in the chill of deep winter.
Du Yunxiu walked fast and hurriedly, and bumped into other people several times. He could only feel a little pain in his body during the collision process, and only felt a little bit of pain when he was scolded by others for being extremely rude. vent.
Why is he so stupid
Why should you trust that others will do it for you, for yourself...
The fierce cold wind suddenly choked into the chest cavity, and the chill soaked into the bones like ice balls, absorbing the last trace of warmth. Du Yunxiu felt cold all over his body, his limbs were cold, but his forehead was burning hot.
He coughed violently, as if he wanted to cough up his entire heart and lungs.
Logically speaking, the reporters at the awards ceremony should not be far away. In such a situation, people would definitely seize the opportunity to take pictures for a while. However, at this moment, no reporter seemed to have noticed Du Yunxiu.
Only the stairs in front of the main entrance of the venue were surrounded by them.
The reporters flocked to the scene, scrambling to rush forward, frantically pressing the shutter, desperately snapping up shots without missing any angle.
Du Yunxiu coughed uncomfortably, almost couldn't stand still, his vision became more and more blurred, but when he was in a daze, he heard someone shouting: "—Lin Xuan had a miscarriage!"
Lin Xuan
How is this going…
Du Yunxiu wanted to step forward, but his body was as heavy as a stone, and his eyes suddenly went dark.
"Are you awake?" Someone deliberately lowered his voice and reached out to touch his forehead. A slightly cool and slender hand pressed against his forehead, suppressing the scalding heat.
Everything around is very quiet. There is a kind of blank strangeness in the quietness.
Du Yunxiu struggled to open his eyes, and it took him a long time to realize - the familiar ceiling, the familiar pattern, this... is his home. And beside him is Feng Jing.
Yes, Fengjing. Not Fu Zihan. Not Xie Yi. Not a raucous award show.
"The doctor said that the fever this time is due to the hard work of filming a while ago, the mental tension, and the physical condition has not adjusted. In addition, the temperature has changed a lot in the past few days. When walking on the red carpet yesterday..." Feng Jing deliberately took it lightly He kept his voice so as not to cause him any discomfort. He didn't mention that the best actor of the Golden Cypress Award was taken away by someone else last night, and he didn't ask why he was alone with Fu Zihan but fainted in the end.
Du Yunxiu was lying on his back on the bed. It seemed that he was listening carefully to every word Feng Jing said. After a while, he said, "Where is Lin Xuan? How is she?" His throat that was dry due to fever seemed to be Sandpapered, scratchy and unpleasant.
Feng Jing was taken aback.
"Lin Xuan... After the awards ceremony, another actress stepped on her skirt and fell down. She almost had a miscarriage. The child's father is a rich man in the United States, but it seems...the other party doesn't want to be responsible."
"Are there a lot of reports?"
"...a big hit. It's on the TV news."
Du Yunxiu seemed to understand and closed his eyes.
Looking at Du Yunxiu's slightly sickly pale face, Feng Jing suddenly had a subtle illusion in his heart. It's just one night, but it seems that a lot of things have sunk into the other party's bones. It has been restrained by the man in front of him, but there is an unfathomable depth.
When he opened his eyes again, Feng Jing heard Du Yunxiu say...
