A few days later, "Darkest Choice" released a finalized trailer and announced that it would be released on May 1st.

The whole story of Liang Sizhe's re-shooting was revealed and circulated for another round. Many comments came to a realization. No wonder Liang Sizhe and President Lomon had a homosexual relationship a while ago. It turned out to be a warm-up hype for the release of the movie.

So starting from the Berlin Film Festival, the love affair between Liang Sizhe and Cao Ye vigorously appeared in the public eye, and was soon stamped as hype because of the release of "The Darkest Choice".

- "Focusing on homosexuality? Don't be afraid of getting burned."

"No wonder Liang Yingdi played such a low trick for the box office, neither admitting nor denying it this time."

- "If you think about it with your brain, you know that Liang Sizhe didn't take the initiative to fry it. This film belongs to Lomon, but Lomon was the propaganda founder."

- "I heard that it was because Cao Ye wanted to debut. In order to repay Cao Xiuyuan's kindness, Liang Sizhe not only accepted Lomon's film, but also cooperated with him to fire."

Cao Ye swiped the screen with his thumb, and looked at the row of comments and thought, "Okay, as long as you are happy."

On the first day of the release of "The Darkest Choice", Liang Sizhe was on the hot search. He played the villain for the first time, and also played a lunatic with an anti-social personality. His performance in the film was extremely dazzling.

During the film's release, Liang Sizhe appeared on several hot searches - "Liang Sizhe's Darkest Choice", "Liang Sizhe's Scar", "Liang Sizhe Plays a Play", "Liang Sizhe Makes Up Shots", so the argument about Liang Sizhe's use of homosexuality to hype the movie was also very fast. disappeared.

After that, Liang Sizhe was in charge of the production of "Rhapsody of a Stranger", while watching the script sent by Xu Yunchu and Cao Ye. Many directors offered olive branches to cooperate with him, but he was not very interested in the roles, and finally fell in love with him. A martial arts script, about the happiness and grievances of the children of the rivers and lakes, he felt a little interested, so he kept the script.

In mid-August, "Try One More Word" is scheduled for November.

Cao Ye used all his resources to increase the rate of filming in the theater, and he made an exchange with Chi Mingyao - as long as Mingtai Films agreed to his request, in the future, when Li Yangxiao's "Rhapsody of a Stranger" was released, Luo Meng would also Do your best to cooperate.

Brothers and transactions each belonged to one another. When negotiating the terms, Cao Ye said: "'Try One More Word' is a combination of pioneering director Du and actor Liang Sizhe of genre films. This configuration is very attractive at first glance. It's a film between rookie director Jiang Lang and rookie actor Li Yangxiao..."

Before he finished speaking, Chi Mingyao got up to leave: "No more."

"Hey, don't go, I haven't finished speaking yet," Cao Ye hurriedly made up for it, "but because Liang Sizhe is the producer, it's also very attractive..."

Chi Mingyao sneered: "Cao Ye, you are now inseparable from Liang Sizhe."

Cao Ye retorted: "Chi Mingyao, you are now inseparable from Li Yangxiao."

In the end, the deal was reached in this unpleasant atmosphere.

After the announcement of "Try One More Word" was announced, the video of Liang Sizhe and Qin Zhenzhen entering the hotel together was turned over again. In every road show, someone intercepted the pictures of them in the same frame, and analyzed the relationship between the two accordingly. Expired romance.

Some people accuse Liang Sizhe of being too ruthless, changing a girlfriend for a movie, and now they have broken up. Treating Qin Zhenzhen is like treating an unfamiliar crew colleague. On the contrary, Qin Zhenzhen seems to have an old relationship, and when she encounters a topic related to Liang Sizhe, she ducks a little.

Star Broadcasting followed this wave of popularity and released another video - after a certain road show, Qin Zhenzhen and his assistant got into Liang Sizhe's nanny car, drove all the way to the hotel parking lot, and had a private meeting with Liang Sizhe at the hotel.

Someone broke the news that Liang Sizhe was cold on the surface, but he was actually very playful in private, otherwise how could so many actresses fly into the flames for him

In fact, on the road show that night, Cao Ye drove to pick up Liang Sizhe, just when Qin Zhenzhen's car broke down, so the nanny car that picked up Liang Sizhe temporarily took Qin Zhenzhen back.

The public opinion began to rage again, saying that Liang Sizhe and Qin Zhenzhen were suspected of rekindling their old relationship.

Cao Ye looked at the comments below the video, and everyone analyzed it with nose and eyes, as if Liang Sizhe and Qin Zhen were really in love, and as for him, he had already become a hyped, fake, ex-boyfriend.

Cao Ye sat up from the bed and showed the video to Liang Sizhe: "Why is the fake taken as real, but the real one is taken as a hype? Didn't they find out that you weren't in the car? Didn't they find me driving to pick you up? Isn't it filmed that we entered the hotel together?" Finally, he blew his anger on the paparazzi, "What kind of amateur paparazzi sent by Star Broadcasting is so ineffective?!"

After his long series of words, Liang Sizhe couldn't help laughing, but instead of being photographed, he blamed the paparazzi for their ineffectiveness, this vinegar jar.

At the end of the year, the Academy Awards announced the shortlist. Liang Sizhe was shortlisted for two awards for "The Darkest Choice" and "Try One More Word" - Appeng was shortlisted for the best male lead, and Scar was shortlisted for the best male supporting role.

Liang Sizhe has a good relationship with the Academy Awards. At the age of 19, he debuted as the best actor in the Academy Awards with "Thirteen Days". At the age of 21, he was shortlisted for the best male protagonist with "Red Boy and Red Girl", but he was defeated. Now he is 29 years old. Once again won the Academy Award for Best Actor nomination.

On the day of the award ceremony, Liang Sizhe walked the red carpet with Xiaomeng's hand, and the host handed him the microphone: "Sizhe, do you have the confidence to win the Best Actor this time?"

In the past, when faced with such problems that required predicting the outcome, Liang Sizhe would probably throw the problem back and ask with a smile, "Do you think this actor will belong to me?" But this time he thought about it and said, "I am close to It's been a very lucky year, and I think this luck should continue to tonight."

"Wow," the host exaggerated, "sounds very confident."

The red carpet session was going on. Cao Ye met Lin Huan around the awards hall. Lin Huan was invited to be the guest of honor this time, and the award happened to be the best actor.

Lin Huan was chatting with someone at the time. After seeing Cao Ye, she took the initiative to come over to say hello. She looked at Cao Ye in a suit: "I remember you said that you don't like such occasions, why are you coming over this time?"

Cao Ye smiled at her, but did not intend to avoid it: "Come with Liang Sizhe."

There is something in Lin Huan's words: "What is the relationship between you two? You accompany him here?"

Cao Ye put his arms on the railing: "Guess."

Lin Huan didn't guess, and turned to something else: "Hey, I lied to you once before, did you find it?"

Cao Ye turned to look at her. It had been a long time, and he couldn't remember the details of his relationship with Lin Huan.

Lin Huan leaned against the railing with his back and reminded, "Who is more powerful."

Cao Ye suddenly remembered this, when he didn't reconcile with Liang Sizhe, he asked Lin Huan who was more powerful than Liang Sizhe. He thought that Lin Huan was really bold, and he didn't shy away from mentioning this on this occasion.

"Actually, I've never slept with Liang Sizhe," Lin Huan turned to look at Cao Ye with a smile, "Do you know why I said that at the time?"

Cao Ye already knew that Liang Sizhe and Lin Huan were not having a good time. He actually didn't want to continue this topic. It was a bit strange to talk about it with his ex-girlfriend, so he asked absentmindedly, "Huh?"

The agent came to urge Lin Huan to go to the backstage at this time, Lin Huan responded, turned his head and continued what he just said: "Because ... what you can't get is the best." After she finished speaking, she smiled at Cao Ye, and curled up. Tingting followed the assistant away.

Liang Sizhe came down from the red carpet and saw Lin Huan chatting with Cao Ye.

He approached, said hello to Lin Huan who was about to leave, walked over and stood beside Cao Ye, leaning on the railing: "Why are you so fascinated?"

"No." Cao Ye straightened up and said subconsciously. In fact, he was wondering what Lin Huan's last sentence meant. Could it be that she has always liked Liang Sizhe all these years

"Reminiscing with my ex-girlfriend again," Liang Sizhe joked, "I'm so open and honest, do you really think I don't care?"

"I didn't catch up with her, it was Lin Huan who came over to tell me—" Cao Ye stopped abruptly in the middle of his words. He suddenly didn't want to tell Liang Sizhe that Lin Huan might not have any more love for him, and he always felt that Lin Huan just said that. The tone of the words is meaningful. If there is a rivalry with Liang Sizhe in the future, wouldn't it be very dangerous

"What?" Liang Sizhe asked following his words.

"Say she'll be your award presenter in a while," Cao Ye avoided the important and suddenly thought of something, "—Liang Sizhe, you won't be on the hot search tomorrow, will you?"

"She's the guest of honor..." Liang Sizhe tapped on the railing with his fingers. "That's possible, but not necessarily. If I didn't win the award, I wouldn't be on the hot search."

"That won't work... Forget it, let's go up," Cao Ye said. "The big deal is that I will spend money to take it down."

"Don't waste it," Liang Sizhe said with a smile, "tsk", "I have a trick."

"what?"

"I'll know in a while," Liang Sizhe sold out. He turned his face sideways, his eyes slid down Cao Ye's jaw and Adam's apple, and stopped on his bow tie, "Cao Ye, let's exchange bow ties."

Cao Ye straightened up: "Huh?"

"Aren't you Lomon's mascot? Lend me a little luck."

The dressing room in the backstage was crowded with a lot of tonight's award presenters. Liang Sizhe and Cao Ye stood face to face, took off their bow ties and exchanged them, and tied them for each other.

When Cao Ye helped Liang Sizhe tie a bow tie, Liang Sizhe suddenly remembered how he felt when he came to the Academy Awards many years ago.

At that time, he didn't have a separate makeup artist, and his bow tie was a little loose after walking the red carpet. It was Zheng Yin who came over to help him tie it.

He didn't know what happened to Cao Ye at that time. When Zheng Yin helped him tie his bow tie, he asked, will Cao Ye come over today

"Is he abroad," Zheng Yin said, "I don't know either."

Liang Sizhe remembered that he was a little nervous at that time. Cao Ye left the note asking him to win the best actor, but he was not sure whether he could win the award or not, and even if he really won the actor, whether Cao Ye would win the award or not. Will be there to witness this moment.

He didn't just get that award for himself, Xiaoman belonged to the two of them, and he hoped that through this role, he could keep Yin Si's summer.

Now that they finally came to the awards ceremony together, Liang Sizhe raised his jaw slightly and looked down at Cao Ye who helped him tie a bow tie. A lyric popped into his mind. There was a lot of noise around him, so he lowered his voice and sang: "Back to the original starting point..." He deliberately paused, Cao Ye's movements paused slightly, and he quickly added the next sentence, "Your young face in memory..."

The last sentence was chanted together in a low voice: "We finally come to this day..." Then the two laughed at the same time.

After they tied each other's bow ties, they went to the ceremony hall. There were more than half of the people sitting in the hall, all chatting with the people around them. Many people greeted them along the way.

The affair between Liang Sizhe and Cao Ye is no longer a secret in the circle. After all, there is no secret in this circle. But seeing them participating in the awards ceremony together, many people were still stunned for a while, probably thinking they were too bold.

They walked to their seats, greeted Du Zhui and Zeng Ran who were sitting next to them, and then sat down.

Cao Ye turned his head to look inside the arena. Several other actors who were nominated for Best Actor looked calm and calm at the moment.

The actors who were shortlisted for the Best Actor Competition this year are all seniors in the industry. Cao Ye felt a little nervous. This was the first real cooperation between him and Liang Sizhe. He hoped that Liang Sizhe could win another Golden Award Best Actor with this film.

But he knew that this kind of thing could not be forced, so he could only comfort himself to calm down. He tilted his head in Liang Sizhe's direction and chatted with him: "Liang Sizhe, have you prepared your acceptance speech?"

Liang Sizhe lowered his head to straighten his cuffs: "I'm ready."

"Then will you thank me?"

Liang Sizhe looked up at him and asked with a smile, "How do you want me to thank you? Name and thank you?"

This is indeed a problem. It seems that few people thank the film's investors. Cao Ye knew something was wrong, so he had to give up: "Forget it, if you win the best actor, remember to go back and thank me at night."

Liang Sizhe laughed and didn't say good or bad.

The lights in the venue dimmed, and the awards ceremony was about to begin.

A short film began to play on the screen, and the noisy chatter off the field quickly subsided. After the short film was broadcast, the host came out and gave an opening talk show, and the awards ceremony officially began.

The ceremony was carried out smoothly according to the process. "Try Another Word" won the Best Film Award and the Best Cinematography Award, and "Darkest Choice" won the New Director Award and the Best Original Film Music Award.

Zeng Ran specially thanked the producer Cao Ye when he came to the stage, saying that the film was filmed with the support and help of President Cao, and also thanked Liang Sizhe for his help during the most twists and turns of the film. Close-up of man.

This is Cao Ye's first public appearance as a producer. Facing the camera, he was still a little nervous. He straightened his back subconsciously and tried to be as natural as possible.

Then the camera pulled back again, so that Liang Sizhe and Cao Ye appeared in the same frame on the big screen. Cao Ye saw him and Liang Sizhe sitting together, and his nervousness was relieved.

The best supporting actor was announced in the first half. Liang Sizhe took the stage to accept the award. He thanked director Zeng Ran and rival actor Wu Boyi, and naturally thanked the producer Cao Ye. The whole speech was calm and decent.

Liang Sizhe won the Best Supporting Actor, but Cao Ye was even more nervous. He searched for the previous Academy Awards in his mind, but he didn't remember anyone winning the Best Supporting Actor and the Best Actor at the same time.

After the best supporting actor was awarded, several awards passed. Lin Huan and another senior actress from Hong Kong took the stage as the presenters and began to issue the award for the best actor.

On the screen, the performance clips of the award-winning actors were played in sequence, introducing the five shortlisted actors. "Try Again" selected Liang Sizhe and Xiaomeng sitting at the door of the store. Liang Sizhe frowned and smoked with preoccupation. Xiaomeng did not Heartless gulps of ice cream.

Another guest on the stage deliberately mentioned the relationship between Liang Sizhe and Lin Huan, and asked Lin Huan if he did not want Liang Sizhe to win the award.

"Of course I hope," Lin Huan said generously, "but I think the organizer of the awards ceremony may be more hopeful than me, otherwise why would they invite me to be the guest of honor?"

The whole place laughed.

Lin Huan asked another guest who he hoped to win.

"Since you want Liang Sizhe to win the award, then I hope that Wang Xian, Lin Tianyuan, Zheng Dehao, and Yin Ning will win the award." Another guest mentioned the names of the remaining actors, and none of them were offended.

Cao Ye couldn't care whether Liang Sizhe and Lin Huan would be on the hot search tonight. He felt slightly sweaty and uncomfortable with his shirt on his back.

The screen switched to the close-ups of the shortlisted actors in turn. When cutting to Liang Sizhe, Cao Ye noticed that Liang Sizhe also seemed to straighten his back a little bit. Although Liang Sizhe's flat and decent expression was the same as before, he was still sensitively aware of Liang Sizhe. It doesn't seem to be as calm as that in Berlin.

Maybe Liang Sizhe is also a little nervous? Cao Ye wanted to shake Liang Sizhe's hand, but there were cameras everywhere, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

"The one who won the best actor is—" The guests on the stage began to open the envelopes, and the Hong Kong female guest pushed the card with the winner's name in front of Lin Huan, "This is up to you."

The next second, Cao Ye heard Lin Huan read Liang Sizhe's name aloud.

In the thunderous applause of the audience, Cao Ye's tense nerves suddenly loosened, and his whole body seemed to be stiff.

Liang Sizhe got up and hugged Du Zhui and Xu Yunchu, shook hands with the senior who turned around and said congratulations in the front row, and finally hugged Cao Ye who was sitting next to him.

They hugged many times, and compared to the more intimate hugs, this hug was restrained but powerful, like giving each other strength. No one said a word, then Liang Sizhe let go of Cao Ye, turned and walked towards the podium.

Walking through the long aisle, Liang Sizhe stepped up the steps, shook hands with Lin Huan and another award presenter, took the trophy, and then stood in the center of the stage.

The applause gradually subsided, and everyone looked at Liang Sizhe on the stage.

Ten years ago, 19-year-old Liang Sizhe also stood on the stage like this. At that time, he had long hair and a suit, rebellious and sharp. The people in the audience quickly discovered that the twenty-nine-year-old Liang Sizhe didn't seem to have changed much, but that the young boy of the past now has awards and has become more at ease.

Liang Sizhe adjusted the height of the microphone, and then bowed slightly: "Before going out, I deliberately pulled out a suit from ten years ago, I hope it will bring me good luck."

There was a low, well-meaning laughter from the audience.

"But I didn't wear it, it's too small."

The laughter got louder this time.

After the joke was over, Liang Sizhe started his speech: "Thank you Director Du Zhui, thank you cameraman Xu Ming, and Wu Zhi teacher Xu Taoyang, thank you Xiaomeng who plays Jiahao children, thank you for the crew of "Try Again" All staff."

After finishing the list of thanks, he continued: "Thanks to this podium for giving me the first award in my life ten years ago, it is a crucial affirmation for me, so I want to use this stage to announce A piece of news that is very important to me..." He paused slightly, glanced at the audience, then lowered his eyes, and said into the microphone under everyone's attention, "...Yes, I'm in love."

The audience was shocked, and Cao Ye felt that his shock was no less than that of others.

After a moment of silence, someone screamed, and there was a commotion in the ceremony hall, and the discussion gradually began to rise. No one thought that Liang Sizhe would announce his love affair on the podium.

In the midst of this noisy discussion, Liang Sizhe raised his voice a little, and his slightly deep voice spread through the microphone throughout the huge ceremony hall, "So finally, I want to thank my lover, thank you for loving me," he raised The trophy, looking at Cao Ye in the audience, "In the future, my pride and disappointment, the trophy and my life, will be shared with you."
