Jian Yan's performance in the semi-finals was far superior, and her support rate was much higher than that of her peers. Standing shoulder to shoulder with her was another girl who was just in her early twenties. She was obviously determined to win this show. Jian Yan had met her several times. She was from the country next door to J. She was very talkative and had a very sunny smile. She obviously knew more about the rules here and had helped Jian Yan solve her doubts two or three times. Jian Yan had a good impression of her, and the two of them would sit together and chat when they had nothing to do.
"You like it here?" Jian Yan was most grateful that she could communicate in her native language. Although everyone didn't know it completely, she had no problem communicating simply. Moreover, after being here for nearly a year, Jian Yan had also learned some of the local dialect tricks, so she could understand what everyone was talking about. When she heard the girl ask this, Jian Yan looked up and smiled, "Yeah, you too?"
The girl's surname is Ma, and her name is Ma Ya. She is in her early twenties. She has dark skin, very healthy, and a face full of collagen. When she smiles, she has dimples on both sides of her mouth, which makes her look very sunny. However, she shook her head and said, "I don't like it here very much."
She finished: "I just think this is a good place for me."
Jian Yan then remembered that other people had discussed Ma Ya's family situation before. It was quite complicated. Ma Ya's position at home was also very awkward, so she came to country J to develop on her own right after graduation. Jian Yan nodded without saying anything. Ma Ya then said, "I remember you are from country H?"
Jian Yan smiled: "Yes."
"I will definitely go to Country H in the future." Ma Ya's expression fluctuated as she spoke here. She suddenly showed a maturity and vicissitudes that were not present at her age. Jian Yan was stunned for a moment, and she blurted out, "Why?"
After she finished speaking, she realized that this was someone else's private matter. She lowered her head and said, "Sorry, I'm not..."
"Go find someone." Ma Ya didn't care at all. She turned to Jian Yan and said with a smile, "Find a friend."
Jian Yan nodded and smiled.
Rehearsals began soon. Jian Yan and Ma Ya were friends in private, but they were rivals on the stage. On the stage, the two were at loggerheads and neither gave in. After all, Jian Yan had filmed several dramas and met several veteran artists on the show who gave her advice, so her acting skills became more and more sophisticated. Although Ma Ya was young, she was full of spirit. Several times her performance on the stage made the audience stand up and applaud. The official report also happened several times. The relationship between the two on the stage was tense, and every time they acted against each other, it gave people a refreshing and comfortable feeling. After the semi-finals, the two successfully entered the finals with super high votes. The atmosphere suddenly became serious. Even the paparazzi in country J, who were the worst at gossip, followed them for two days and wanted to interview Jian Yan, but Jian Yan declined. She was busy because she had to attend an awards ceremony.
The movie Against the Light was released in country J in early April. The box office was not very high, and it was stuck in a mediocre position, but the word of mouth was very good. Netizens who had seen it volunteered to help promote it, and major film critics also wrote a lot of insights about Against the Light. They felt that the best part of the movie was not its success in the end, but that the movie had a detailed understanding and popular science of new drugs, and that the movie was also full of strong irony. They also speculated that the movie would not achieve good results in the entertainment-oriented country H, but its subsequent influence would not be small, and that the movie should be nominated for awards.
At the end of July, news came from the J Country Film Festival that this film was successfully shortlisted. Jian Yan also made an appearance in J Country with this film. Before A Dream had just finished airing, Against the Light was immediately online. As a result, Jian Yan's support rate in the program increased significantly. As expected, film critics from H Country posted Weibo posts one after another, and netizens left messages one after another:
—Have you seen the backlight? The contrast between Jian Yan before and after is really huge. To be honest, when I saw her in the early stage, I wanted to strangle her to death!
—I have watched it, and I have to admit that acting is acting, and traffic is traffic. Have you watched Jian Yan's acting PK in J country? The rivalry with Ma Ya was explosive! I am obviously a fan of looks, but I was attracted to become a fan of acting!
—It’s been less than a year, and Jian Yan has successfully cleared her name. She has good acting skills, a high appearance, and a successful love and career. How come you know more about her than Jian Yan? The most ridiculous thing is Jian Yan. She is obviously from country H but she insists on developing in country J.
-That's right, she has acting skills but instead of working for country J instead of bringing glory to country H, bitches are bitches no matter where they go!
— Tsk tsk tsk, the sour taste overflowed the screen, whose dog is this, how come he forgot to tie it up and ran out? He is from H country, so what? He is forced to stay in China by you haters, you are all right, good acting skills, good looks, love and career, but still broke up, why do you need to promote this? Our Yanyan is talented, what? Are the haters anxious? If you have time to worry about other people's affairs, you might as well worry about whether your own dog has a movie to shoot, a dog is a dog, it will only bark wherever it goes!
After Against the Light was selected, the discussion in China was not about the movie, but about whether Jian Yan should return to China to develop. A large number of netizens felt that Jian Yan's current situation was caused by netizens and black fans. She could come back or not, but if she was willing to come back, they would definitely welcome her. A small number of netizens held the view that if Jian Yan did not come back, she would be "disloyal" to the country. This kind of speech was quickly suppressed by other netizens. They have been living happily for too long and have no restraint in speaking. Finally, netizens took the initiative to go to Jian Yan and Ji Yunxin's super topic to inquire about the news. This super topic, which had been blasted by them many times, now has to dig out news from here, just like Against the Light, which makes people feel ironic and ridiculous. Jian Yan knew these things, but she did not take it to heart, and never thought about going back. She not only wanted to develop in country J, but also develop very well, so well that she was irreplaceable, so well that no one dared to question, so well that she stood at the top that Su Ziqi had told her, and only then would she go back.
The online discussion in country H has lasted for two days without any conclusion, but Jian Yan is already preparing to go to the award ceremony. She currently has no company or agent, and will be walking the red carpet with the crew.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jian Yan changed into a dress at home. Ji Yunxin was sitting beside her holding the child and watching her. Jian Nian saw that she had changed into a red dress and couldn't help but reach out and shout, "Mom!"
"Mommy, hug me!" Jian Nian's voice was tender, revealing the childishness that only a child can have, and it sounded soft and sticky. Before Jian Yan was dressed, she lowered her head and kissed Jian Nian on the cheek, and said with a smile: "Be good, Nian Nian, listen to your mother at home."
Jian Nian refused and wanted Jian Yan to hug her. Her big eyes flickered and her long eyelashes, similar to Ji Yunxin's, moved slightly. Jian Yan looked helpless. She half squatted down and hugged Jian Nian.
Jian Yan was wearing a red tube-top dress, her entire swan neck was exposed, her collarbone was delicate and the curve was beautiful. Jian Nian grabbed the pearl necklace she was wearing around her neck. Jian Yan was pulled hard by her and she shouted in pain: "Niannian, let go."
Jian Nian giggled, and Ji Yunxin beside her also lowered her eyes. Jian Yan glared at her angrily: "Still laughing."
Ji Yunxin reached out and took Jian Nian's hands. When her fingertips brushed across Jian Yan's neck, she applied a little force, leaving a not-too-light scratch next to the white pearl necklace. It was not obvious, but it was hard to ignore. Ji Yunxin stood tall, staring at the red mark, and said with satisfaction: "Be good, Nian Nian, let mom go to present the awards, I'll accompany you, okay?"
Jian Nian seemed to understand what she said. When she saw Ji Yunxin reaching out, she struggled to get into Jian Yan's arms. Jian Yan was wearing a low-cut dress, and a lot of her chest skin was exposed. She pulled her collar, took Jian Nian out of her arms and handed her to Ji Yunxin. Jian Nian looked at her with grievance and shouted unhappily, "Mom."
"It's no use calling me ancestor." Jian Yan pinched her cheek: "Mom is leaving, bye."
Jian Nian has been pestering Jian Yan more and more recently. Every time Jian Yan leaves home, she always cries for a while. Ji Yunxin hugs Jian Nian and lets her lie on his shoulder, and does not forget to coax her: "Niannian, let me tell you a story?"
Jian Nian whined and started to cry again. Jian Yan turned around, looked at him, then laughed and left.
The car was arranged by Ji Yunxin, and the driver was Fu Qiang. He was dressed in a well-tailored suit, looking serious and formal. After Jian Yan got in the car, he asked, "Madam, are we going directly to the venue?"
Jian Yan chuckled: "What else?"
Fu Qiang felt that he had asked another stupid question. He couldn't understand why he, a graduate of a prestigious university and smart and capable outside, appeared so stupid in front of his wife? Fu Qiang, who was frequently despised, couldn't find a reason to excuse himself. He was very depressed.
Depressed, he sent Jian Yan to the venue. The car door opened and the flash lights came on, but the reporters did not come forward. Instead, they stood outside the cordon and took pictures. Not many people asked questions. This seemed to be a rule that everyone knew and followed in country J.
The barrage of comments went crazy.
Because the red carpet walk was broadcast live, and backlighting has always attracted much attention in country H, all major live broadcast platforms were filled with barrages. On the screen, Jian Yan was wearing a bright red floor-length dress that covered her chest. She had slender arms, jade-like skin, and white reflective skin. She stood in front of the reporters, occasionally lowering her head and smiling to greet them. Her movements were elegant and graceful. Black fans and fans gathered in front of the screen to express their opinions.
—I forget it, Jane’s world is just Jane’s world, it’s so beautiful!
—Please let me be the teardrop mole at the corner of Jian Yan’s eye in the next life, please!
—There is a red mark on the back of Jian Yan's neck. Did you see it? Oh my god, what kind of angle could have left such a mark
—I just want to wear Mr. Ji’s clothes once, just once, and I just want to touch Jian Yan’s slender waist.
—I said that Jian Yan’s first movie was shortlisted for the top 100 movies. Could it be that Jingyi bought it
—Hahahahahahaha, Erbi, what do you think Baixuan is? Still buying? Don’t you know this is a film festival in Japan? Do you think the entertainment industry in Japan is the same as ours? You can increase traffic whenever you want? Maybe in the next life!
This message was attacked to pieces. The awards in country J are indeed more rigorous than ordinary awards. After all, this is a circle that relies on acting skills. Unless you have strong ability, others will not recognize you. Moreover, the Hundred Selections is also a big award. Although it cannot be compared with those international awards, being able to get it also represents strength. As for the so-called buying of awards, in country J, the possibility is zero, because netizens here can see at a glance whether it is good or bad. Unless the Hundred Selections does not want this brand, it will choose to shoot itself in the foot.
And obviously, this is impossible.
Jian Yan walked over on the red carpet and saw Yu Yue standing there waving to the reporters. She walked over and asked in confusion, "Where's Sister Su?"
Yu Yue smiled and waved to the reporter, then turned around and said, "No."
Jian Yan looked at her suspiciously but said nothing.
After not seeing each other for more than half a year, Yu Yue had lost a lot of weight. Jian Yan heard that she had joined a costume drama crew when she returned to China, and the director gave her the first task of losing ten pounds. Now that the TV series has been filmed, she has not gained weight yet, and her chin has become even more pointed. Yu Yue didn't really want to deal with the media, so she lazily asked, "Where's Director Zhang?"
"We haven't arrived yet, let's go in first." Jian Yan said as he stood with her, and the two of them walked into the venue arm in arm.
There were only a few people sitting in the venue. Jian Yan and Yu Yue found their seats and sat down. She noticed a woman with a ponytail sitting in the front row. She was not wearing a dress, but a simple business suit. The high ponytail was light white and jet black and fell behind her. When she tilted her head to talk to others, her profile was exquisite and her features were clear. Jian Yan was stunned and asked Yu Yue next to her, "Is Teacher Jing here too?"
"Who?" Yu Yue didn't react for a moment, then she nodded: "You mean Jingyuan."
"It's said on the Internet that she is the special guest of this event."
Yu Yue felt sleepy after she finished speaking. She leaned against Jian Yan and said, "Director Zhang is here, call me."
Jian Yan nodded: "Okay."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Jing Yuan, and Jing Yuan also looked back. Coincidentally, their eyes met. Jian Yan was stunned at first, then smiled. Jing Yuan's usually cold face still had no emotion, and her brows were indifferent. When Jian Yan thought she would not get a response, she nodded slightly, then retracted her gaze and looked at the stage again.
Soon Director Zhang and Yu Qingzhou came over. They sat next to Jian Yan and Yu Yue. Zhang Suren smiled and said, "Jian Yan, long time no see."
Jian Yan turned around and smiled, "Director Zhang."
Finally, she looked at Yu Qingzhou and lowered her head: "Teacher Yu."
"You're welcome." Yu Qingzhou said, "Are you here early?"
Jian Yan always likes to arrive early. She nodded and smiled, then woke Yu Yue up.
Then there was another round of busyness and greetings. Before the award ceremony officially started, quite a few people were already sitting inside. There were people from other crews around Jian Yan. Her development in country J had always been something that the entire circle in country H could not understand. Now when they saw her, they were all curious and asked about her. However, Jian Yan was not the same as before. After all, she no longer had an agent. She had to do everything by herself. She had also practiced her talking skills and was very good at changing the subject. Seeing that she didn't want to talk more, others stopped asking.
The scene gradually became quiet, and Zhang Suren asked Jian Yan, "Do you have confidence?"
Jian Yan thought for a while and smiled. She couldn't say yes or no. Who doesn't want to win a prize? Who doesn't want to move up a level? But there are only a few opportunities. If you don't have them, try again. Zhang Suren nodded: "You're quite open-minded."
Jian Yan shook her head.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the award ceremony officially began.
Ji Yunxin was holding Jian Nian and walking around in the living room. Jian Nian hugged her neck and laughed and pinched her. The child was full of energy when she was in her arms. Ji Yunxin was about to teach her a lesson when she heard the door open and Du Yan's voice came: "Nian Nian."
Ji Yunxin looked up and breathed a sigh of relief. Jian Nian, who hadn't seen Du Yan for a day, was very excited and kicked and waved in Ji Yunxin's arms. Du Yan put down her bag and hugged Jian Nian, asking, "Did you give her food?"
"I ate it." Ji Yunxin was helpless when she saw Jian Nian being so docile in Du Yan's arms. This child was well-behaved in front of Jian Yan and Du Yan, but in her arms, she was as fussy as if she had taken stimulants. She really didn't know what made this little girl uncomfortable. Du Yan glanced at her and said, "Why don't you smile more?"
"Look at your stern face. It's strange that Nian Nian likes you."
Ji Yunxin: …
What can she do about this natural character
But she didn't argue with Du Yan. Instead, she went back to her room and changed into casual clothes. Du Yan was puzzled: "Are you going out?"
Ji Yunxin tied her hair into a ponytail and nodded: "Go pick up Yanyan."
She glanced at her watch and estimated that it would be almost time by the time she got there. Du Yan asked, "Is there an award ceremony for Yanyan today?"
"Yes." Ji Yunxin said, "You can watch it online."
Du Yan waved her hand: "Go quickly."
Ji Yunxin went downstairs and drove to call Fu Qiang, telling him not to wait. Fu Qiang did not hesitate. Whenever Ji Yunxin was free, he would pick up and drop off Jian Yan for rehearsal. He was used to it, so he agreed and left the scene.
On the road, under the street lights, a black car was driving at a constant speed. Ji Yunxin was not driving fast. She estimated that the award ceremony might not be over yet, so she was not driving fast.
Her estimation was correct. Jian Yan's performance was not over yet, but the highlight had already arrived. There were only two Best Actor and Best Actress awards left to be presented. The atmosphere on the scene was tense for a while. Jian Yan was not very nervous at first, but was infected by the atmosphere and her forehead was slightly sweaty.
She is optimistic about Yu Qingzhou for the Best Actor award this time, but the other nominee is also a veteran actor, and Jian Yan has seen that movie and found it really shocking. If it were her, she would probably find it difficult to make a decision, so it is possible that the award could go to Yu Qingzhou or the veteran actor.
"The 36th Best Actor Award of the 100 Selections is—"
The host deliberately stuck here. Jian Yan saw that Yu Qingzhou beside him was always indifferent, and it seemed that he was not affected by the people around him. Then she thought, yes, Yu Qingzhou has been on the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, why would he care about such a small storm? The host had kept the suspense enough and announced the candidate: "Teacher Chi Jingchi!"
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Chi Jing, who was over fifty years old. He was wearing a suit and a crimson tie. Although he had some gray hair on his temples, his eyes were bright and he showed no signs of aging. Jian Yan also clapped with everyone else. After the Best Actor award, Jian Yan was not so excited about the Best Actress award. She couldn't tell why, but she suddenly seemed to have lost touch with what nervousness was. She listened to the host still making the announcement in suspense with a calm expression.
Yu Yue beside him said, "If you are selected, remember to treat me to a meal."
Jian Yan smiled, her lips parted slightly, and just as she was about to reply, she heard her name floating throughout the venue: "Jian Yan!"
She was stunned, and Yu Yue pushed her arm: "Are you stupid?"
Jian Yan came back to her senses and saw countless rays of light shining on her face. She slowly stood up. Well, it would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous. She was really dumbfounded.
The 100 Choice Awards is different from other award shows in that no information will be revealed to artists and companies in advance. However, Jian Yan prepared some lines early in case she was chosen. She thought she would never need them, but she didn't expect to use them so soon.
She stood on the stage, took two deep breaths, and just as she was about to speak, the host laughed, "The awards haven't been given out yet."
Jian Yan took two steps back and smiled apologetically: "Sorry."
"Don't be nervous." The host said patiently, "Now please invite Miss Jing to present the awards."
It seems that Jingyuan is not only a special guest this time, but also an award presenter. Jian Yan stood on the stage, wearing a long dress that swayed gracefully, bright and generous. Not far away, Jingyuan walked towards her step by step in a small suit. The trophy was placed on the table. Jingyuan walked over and handed it to Jian Yan with a rare smile on her face. She said, "Congratulations."
The tone was clear and cold, but Jian Yan could hear the sincerity in it. It seemed that after spending a long time with people like Jing Yuan and Ji Yunxin, she could naturally distinguish what was false and what was true. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Teacher Jing."
Jingyuan nodded, and the host said, "It seems that you two have worked together before. Do you want to embrace this wonderful fate?"
Jian Yan looked at Jing Yuan and saw that she didn't look disgusted. She stretched out her hand, and Jing Yuan also took the initiative to walk up to her, put his hands on her back, and patted her twice from a distance, just like how he treated his fan girl. Jian Yan watched Jing Yuan leave with a smile in her eyes.
Next comes the speech.
In fact, there is nothing new, it's all the same. Although Jian Yan has no company or agent now, it doesn't stop her from thanking Jing Yi and Su Ziqi. She smiled at the end and said, "Finally, I want to thank my lover who has always stood behind me."
The scene was unusually noisy. Jian Yan looked straight ahead with a determined gaze.
Outside the venue, Ji Yunxin kept looking at her watch. Jian Yan came out much later than she expected. Just as she was about to send a message to Jian Yan to ask about the situation, she saw Jian Yan's name on the screen. She quickly picked up the phone: "Yan Yan."
Jian Yan's voice was filled with excitement: "Yun Xin, I won the award."
Ji Yunxin didn't really care about any awards, but she couldn't help but feel happy when Jian Yan was so happy: "Really? Where are you?"
"I'm backstage." Jian Yan said, "Come out right away."
"You-you came?"
Her belated question made Ji Yunxin laugh: "I'm here, waiting for you in the parking lot."
Jian Yan said: "I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Jian Yan looked at Yu Yue beside her: "Where are you going? Do you want to go to my house?"
Yu Yue shrugged: "No, I don't want to see you guys showing off your affection. I have a flight tomorrow morning and need to go back to the hotel tonight."
Jian Yan didn't say much when she saw this. She just told Yu Yue to be careful on the road and watched her get into the car.
Yu Qingzhou had already left, leaving Zhang Suren alone. He was too embarrassed to directly invite Jian Yan to dinner, so he had to say, "See you next time."
Jian Yan smiled: "See you next time."
After talking to everyone, Jian Yan walked towards the parking lot in her high heels. From a distance, she saw Ji Yunxin standing next to the car. She was wearing a light blue casual outfit with a high ponytail, looking relaxed and comfortable, and holding a thin coat in her hands. Ji Yunxin noticed Jian Yan's gaze and she looked over, then walked forward with a smile on her face, stretched out her hand and put the coat on Jian Yan. Jian Yan was wearing high heels that were the same height as Ji Yunxin. She looked straight into those eyes and said with a bright look, "Thank you."
Ji Yunxin helped her put on her coat and carried her bag, saying, "Get in the car."
Jian Yan lowered her head and followed behind her. Just as the two of them got into the car, two more people came from a distance. One of them was wearing a professional suit. Jian Yan had just seen him before. It was Jing Yuan.
She tilted her head, and just as Ji Yunxin was about to drive, she said, "Wait a minute."
Ji Yunxin stepped on the brakes. Jian Yan saw through the car window that Jing Yuan was talking to a woman. After they finished talking, Jing Yuan handed the woman something that looked like car keys. After they finished talking, the two sat in a car and drove away.
Jian Yan frowned: "Did you see it?"
Ji Yunxin turned around: "What did you see?"
Jian Yan said, "The person next to Teacher Jing just now, don't you think he looks familiar?"
Ji Yunxin's face darkened slightly, and his voice lowered: "I don't think so."
The black car left the parking lot and sped away on the road. When passing the second traffic light, Jian Yan reacted. She immediately picked up her phone and logged into the website of country H. The news about her winning the award was overwhelming, but she didn't read it much. Instead, she searched for a name first.
Warm the wine.
She was stunned when she saw the photo. The person who just talked to Jingyuan and got in the car was really warming the wine
Wasn't Ke Wenjiu rumored to be having an affair with Gu Kexin? How could he be with Jingyuan
Jian Yan was a little confused.
She turned around and told Ji Yunxin about her new discovery, but she noticed that Ji Yunxin had been looking at her. She was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Ji Yunxin said: "Can't you see it?"
Jian Yan frowned: "What did you see?"
Ji Yunxin drove the car to the curb, turned around and looked at Jian Yan seriously, and said in a serious tone: "Can't you see that I'm jealous?"
Jian Yan laughed out loud in amusement.
The author has something to say: Jian Yan: Thank you, my love, for always standing behind me.
Ji Yunxin: Who said I'm always behind you? I'm always on top of you.
Jian Yan: …
