Compared with the bustle and bustle of the entire Hollywood House, this towering building seemed much more peaceful and peaceful. In Liao Jing's night, the lights scattered everywhere, illuminating the entire sky in a dazzling crimson. Although it looked very peaceful on the outside, the vehicles gathered under the building filled the entire parking area.
Hildu Hotel welcomes such a frenzy almost every year.
At the same time as the annual Golden Edge Award Ceremony, directors, stars, screenwriters, etc. from all over the world will gather here, waiting for the start of the second day of the Ceremony. Not everyone will come to Los Angeles in advance, and not every celebrity who participates in the Golden Edge Awards will stay at the Hildu Hotel, but the high-end and elegant Hildu Hotel has always been the first choice of these celebrities.
Separated from the noisy noise on the road under the building, the hotel room on the 43rd floor was completely silent, only the sound of rushing water broke the rare quiet atmosphere. After an unknown amount of time, the sound of water in the bathroom suddenly stopped, and then, a crisp sound of the door opening followed.
"I've always heard that the Hildu next to the Hollywood house has very good basic equipment," Lin Xi said while rubbing her wet hair with a dry towel, "It's really worth living here this time." Famous."
Hearing the young man's voice suddenly, Uno put aside the document he was looking at, and covered it with a tray seemingly carelessly. He nodded and said, "The last time we came to participate in the Golden Edge Awards, we lived in Steven's house, but in the future, I believe you will have many opportunities to deal with this Hildu." The implication is that in the future, the annual Golden Edge Award Ceremony, the other party will probably always have the opportunity to come here often.
Hearing this, Lin Xi raised his eyebrows lightly, and threw the white towel half wet with water on the table beside him. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but it just happened to cover up all the materials that were covered by the tray. Seeing this, Uno pursed his lips calmly, only to hear Lin Xi laughing and said: "Oh? That proud, beautiful and charming hotel manager came here to say hello to you this afternoon. It seems that it's because you often Did they deal?"
"Cough." With a slight cough, Uno explained: "Steven often came to discuss things with the hotel before, so I got acquainted with it." Seeing that the young man raised his lips and seemed to be teasing again, Uno immediately changed the topic and said, "The awards ceremony will start tomorrow, are you still nervous?"
This blunt and awkward way of changing the subject was as speechless as ever, but this time Lin Xi didn't hold on to it. The temperature of the room is set at the most comfortable 26°. The warm air is blown from the radiator and the central air conditioner, making the whole room feel warm without being hot.
"I came here once last year, will you still be nervous this year?"
"This year is the best actor."
Lin Xi smiled lowly: "It's still a whole day, I will get nervous so soon? Are you underestimating me?"
On the ceiling of the room is a multi-layered crystal chandelier, shining brilliantly.
Lin Xi smiled and said, "But shouldn't you be nervous? This should be your fourth consecutive nomination for Best Actor for the Golden Ridge Award. If you don't..." Lin Xi stopped talking. Come down and say it.
Although this is just a boring superstition, there is still some worry in his heart, worrying that he will become a prophecy and become a crow's mouth.
Seeing the frown on the other side's face, the handsome man understood what the other side was thinking. He reached out and took the semi-wet towel on the table, and gently rubbed the young man's hair that was still dripping. His deep eyes narrowed slightly, and Uno sighed: "I will be very happy to see you on stage to receive the award."
Slightly narrowing his eyes, Lin Xi let the other party move on his hair: "Then if we all..." The voice stopped abruptly, and Lin Xi didn't say any more.
There was a silence in the room that even the air was frozen, only the slight sound of friction resounded in a low voice. Seeing the soft black hair under his hands gradually drying out, Uno looked down and met Lin Xi's raised gaze.
Both of them were stunned for a moment, and then they pursed their lips in unison.
Throwing the already wet towel aside, Uno said, "Don't you think it's an honor to be named by the presenter together?"
There was a hint of a smile in the light amber pupils, Lin Xi nodded and said: "Yes. It is a great luck to be called out together."
"I think, you should think about it now, how many announcements you will encounter after the awards ceremony is over and we return to China." Leaning back against the thick table, there was an undisguised smile in his deep eyes Meaning, Uno said: "According to my previous experience, probably... it will be amazing."
"Only if only nominated?"
Uno nodded solemnly and said, "Yes."
"...Then I'd better not go back to China."
Uno: "..."
The light of the city spread wantonly outside the window, but no amount of dazzling light could pass through the thick curtains. In the quiet room, all the lights had been turned off at some point, and it was clearly not too late, but only the faint sound of breathing could be heard from time to time.
Everything is hidden in the peaceful darkness, and it seems that they are waiting for the day when the whole world will pay attention to it the next day, but the few thin documents that were pressed under the tray seem to have been forgotten long ago. What was swallowed by the darkness was not only all the lights in the room, but also the words clearly written in black and white—
『The criminal suspect Pan was charged with the crime of intentional homicide. On August 11, 2016, the case was publicly heard in the court of city b. The suspect, Pan Mou, deliberately murdered his classmate Zhang Moumou when he was studying in the United States...』
There has always been a saying in the world about the cycle of numerology.
Those crimes that are hidden under the glamorous appearance, no matter how perfect everything is covered up, will not escape the law. The Pan family, which has long been a thing of the past, lost its previous influence even in City B, not to mention the country of America, which is a whole world away, so the news could not be quickly spread to Lin Xi's ears.
But at this moment in the United States, only movie fans who are looking forward to the Golden Edge Awards ceremony are still awake.
The moonlight is dim and the night is long.
On the second day, before it was completely dark, the front of the Dude Theater was crowded with fans and reporters.
There is a thick and wide red carpet in the center of the white Corslin arch that is usually crowded with people, from the inner side of the gate to the steps, and finally spread all the way to the star-studded Hollywood Boulevard. Whenever a luxury car comes from one end of the road, the sound of the flashing lights "clicking and clicking" often sounds before the door is pushed open.
Unlike last year, winter in the United States came very late this year. Even in February, the temperature did not show any signs of rising. The bitingly cold temperature made the air glow with a frightening white, but it was completely unable to resist the star-studded ladies showing their proud figures.
In contrast, men in suits and bow ties are much more comfortable.
However, when Lin Xi got out of the car, he couldn't help shivering. However, when the flashlight suddenly shone on that elegant and beautiful face, a perfect and impeccable smile bloomed in an instant. He stepped onto the red carpet with steady steps. Although he greeted the surroundings from time to time, he never slowed down for a moment.
Within moments, the entire cast of Chaconne disappeared between the towering arches of the Dude Theatre.
It was still the same stage that I had seen a year ago, only with a brand new curtain, but the whole stage hardly changed much. Perhaps it is a coincidence that the seating arrangement of the crew of "Chaconne" this time is similar to that of the crew of "X-Storm" last year, all sitting on the right side of the stage.
But this time, except for the two tall, oriental-looking men, everyone else was completely different from last year. She still chose the same seat to sit down, but Lin Xi's mood at the moment was quite different from what it used to be.
Last year, it was the first time for him to enter this solemn and noble palace. He entered this place with a kind of longing and anticipation. Even though he was sitting firmly in his seat, he still felt as if he was walking on clouds, without any sense of reality.
And now, this is the second time for him to come here. There was less of the bewilderment at the beginning, but a little more calmness and calmness.
The crowds coming and going, the spacious and gorgeous theater, everything seems to be the same as it was a year ago. However, everything seems to be completely different. People who are either familiar or unfamiliar often come to the seats of the "Chaconne" crew. Sometimes it's chatting with Raymond, sometimes it's chatting with Uno, but—
In their eyes, they really entered such a handsome and noble oriental youth.
There were even many people who came to talk to Lin Xi specially.
Lin Xi couldn't help being surprised for a moment when he saw that the actress who won the Golden Ridge Award three years ago was shedding tears while chatting with him. But soon, he gentlemanly handed over the white handkerchief in the suit pocket on his chest.
"Lin, I'm really sorry." The beautiful blond woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, but she couldn't resist the tears still flowing from the red eye sockets. "Today your appearance is really similar to that in the movie, really similar. Sorry, I really can't control my emotions."
The well-shaped phoenix eyes slightly curved, Lin Xi shook her head and said, "Dana, thank you for liking "Chakong"."
"I want to thank you, Lin. Thank you for playing such an outstanding and strong young man for us. I really..." The voice choked up again, and after the beautiful and dignified actress choked a few more times, she then Say goodbye to Lin Xi first and leave to calm down your emotions.
Looking at the other party's slender back, Lin Xi couldn't help frowning.
"Daina has always been easily agitated. I remember that when she won the Golden Edge Award for Best Actress three years ago, she almost fell on the steps of receiving the award." Go, I saw Uno looking down at himself with gentle and long eyes: "It can be seen that Dana really likes you."
"The one she likes more should be Mo Qing."
Upon hearing this, Uno shook his head lightly, his thin lips curled slightly, and said, "Without you, she would never have known Mo Qing."
Raising one eyebrow, Lin Xi heard the familiar opening music resounding in the entire hall before Lin Xi could speak, and swallowed back what he originally wanted to say.
When the sound came out from the stereo and sounded throughout the theater, the originally noisy crowd suddenly became quieter.
The big red curtain slowly opened to both sides, accompanied by melodious and cheerful background music, there were male dancers constantly dancing on the stage. From both sides of the stage to the center, the posture is graceful and powerful, the lines of the muscles are smooth and slightly convex, and the neat dancing posture attracts the attention of everyone present.
With the gradually rising music, the gorgeous and shocking effect of the opening dance has been achieved.
After everything was over, the familiar male host appeared instantly under the effect of the spotlight. With a more humorous language, he first commented on the nominated works of this year's Golden Edge Award in a teasing tone, and successfully reaped bursts of laughter.
"Oh, that's our "Chaconne" crew. I haven't seen Director Raymond Chen for a long time, and I almost forgot his unique eyebrows." The handsome host smiled and looked at the right side of the stage Sitting on the seat, he looked at Lin Xi and Uno in a blink of an eye: "The film "Chaconne" tells a love story that happened in Europe in the first half of the last century. The young violinist's journey across the ocean , the gifted pianist's different eyes have earned many people tears. Mantes and Lin also won two nominations for this year's best actor, which is really exciting."
Seeing his own face appear on the big screen behind the host, Lin Xi nodded slightly. Soon, the topic fell on another crew, and the laughter in the theater never stopped.
"I still remember last year. At this time, I was already very nervous." Looking at the scene on the stage, Lin Xi said in a low voice: "The first one to be awarded is the Best Supporting Actor Award, but it's a pity..."
"I announce that the winner of the 86th Golden Prism Award for Best Supporting Actor is - Aski Lanka."
Due to the sudden opening of the award presenter, Lin Xi's voice was slightly dull for a moment. He looked at the middle-aged man who was walking towards the stage, and with a faint curve on his lips, he said with a smile, "Unfortunately, I couldn't lift that trophy."
While clapping, Uno's gaze quietly rested on the young man at the side. The dazzling lights of the stage lit up the first half of the seats below the stage, shining on the delicate face of the young man, and there was a thrilling oriental beauty.
"Then today, you can easily enjoy it for more than three hours until the best actor is awarded."
Lin Xi couldn't help raising his eyes when he heard this, and glanced at Uno lightly. I saw the latter's expression was still indifferent, but there was an undisguised sense of ridicule in his dark eyes. With a soft snort from his nose, Lin Xi luckily turned his gaze away from the other party, and it was considered invisible.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be making trouble, Uno raised an eyebrow lightly. Leaning back on the soft chair back, Uno quietly stretched out his hand to hold Lin Xi's by taking advantage of the shadow of the seat in front of him illuminated by the light. Feeling the thin knuckles in the palm of his hand, Uno couldn't help frowning: "You have lost a lot of weight, and the filming of "The City of Emerald" was still too difficult."
"I remember that "Feicheng" seems to be less difficult than "X Storm", right? It's an action movie." After struggling for a while but not breaking free, Lin Xi simply ignored the opponent's small movements.
Hearing this, Uno narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "The shooting environment is very difficult."
"..."
It turns out... the beautiful G city and the picturesque Fuguo fjord are also considered hardships? !
Lin Xi was silent for a while, but did not speak again. The two looked up at the stage again, and were quickly attracted by the wonderful programs and the tense award presentation. No one was obsessed with the true meaning of the word "hardship".
"I announce that the winner of the 86th Golden Prism Award for Best Visual Effects is - "Chaconne"!"
"I announce that the winner of the 86th Golden Prism Award for Best Filming is - "Chaconne"!"
