Miss Gu & Miss Qu: 59
"It is highly poisonous, psychedelic, enthusiastic and determined, and youthful. On June 16, "Calamus" will meet you in the theater."
Huge movie promotional posters have covered several floors of China Entertainment International. Starring Gu Xizhi and Cheng Wei, the movie that was renamed "Calamus" and submitted for review has begun to be fully publicized. As the heroine, she won a certain award in this movie. After receiving the special recommendation award from the jury of the film festival, Gu Xizhi received high hopes from everyone.
"There is no better news than this. Five nominations are enough for He Xue to be happy for a whole year." The first sentence Zhao Ling returned to the office after the meeting was good news. He immediately asked, "Where's Xiaojing?"
Zhao Ling raised her eyebrows, "What do you think?"
Lili beamed with joy, and immediately said, "I'll go and tell Xiaojing the news."
Gu Xizhi has been busy with a mysterious thing in the office recently, because she is too busy with work, and occasionally she insists on returning to the office after finishing the announcement. As for what she is busy with, besides the cleaning lady, No one knows.
In the brightly lit room, Gu Xizhi checked the drawing board with her chin back and forth. She probably felt that something was not good enough, and soon she picked up the paintbrush to make corrections on the drawing board.
Since the diamond ring was found by Qu Xizhi last time, Qu Xizhi's image in her heart is taller than Hera, Athena and other goddesses, and a diamond ring that was lost overnight can be found by her In her heart, she is no longer purely powerful and capable, but a magical figure, a figure who has escaped the vulgarity of the world, and a figure greater than a goddess.
In order to thank her and express his respect for her, the excited Gu Xizhi decided to make a goddess painting for her to express his feelings.
There was a knock on the door, Gu Xizhi looked at the drawing board, picked up the canvas to cover it, and then went to open the door.
Lili is in a good mood and doesn't mind her mysterious appearance, so she just stands at the door and says, "Nominated."
Gu Xizhi was stunned for a moment, at first she didn't seem to have thought of what she meant, and soon she also burst into a big smile, but then, her smile became restrained again.
"It's just a nomination, it's not like it hasn't happened before." After a pause, "Who else is nominated together?"
"Yin Ci is the most popular actress for the best lead role. Of course, she will not be missing. The remaining two are Zhao Youlan and Yu Ge, but the two of them don't have great hopes. consensus.”
"In other words, Yin Ci is still my biggest opponent."
"Yes. But this time we all have confidence in you. We have all watched Yin Ci's Yu Ji, and she doesn't seem to have made any progress or breakthrough. I think if you are familiar with her judges, it will be very important to her. Your performance in this drama won’t be highly evaluated.” Having said this, he became happy again, “Xiao Jing, I can imagine what you will look like after you win the Best Actress, and now your popularity on the small screen is still low. Yes, as long as it succeeds this time, it will be possible to represent China to the world in the future.”
She was so happy that Gu Xizhi couldn't help but said, "How could it be so exaggerated."
That being said, Gu Xizhi was also very happy.
Qu Xizhi's work has recently shifted to charity work, and he often travels to disaster-stricken areas and impoverished mountainous areas. Sometimes the communication facilities in mountainous areas are not very good, and it is possible that he cannot be contacted for a few days.
Although I don't know if the other party can see my news, but when I heard that I was nominated, Gu Xizhi still couldn't help sending a text message to share the good news:
I'm nominated, come back and accompany me to the film festival.
On the other side, Qu Xizhi, who is far away in a remote mountainous area, has received a series of short messages not long after his mobile phone signal got through. Opened the mailbox, flipped through it back and forth, found a familiar number and opened it immediately, and smiled when seeing the content of the message.
"Ling Xian, we will finish the matter here within half a month, and then go back."
The unaccustomed Ling Xian just sat in the car and drank water, "I wish I could go back in a minute."
Golden Tripod Award, as the first award in the industry, has only been held once a year in recent years, from May to August, and the evaluation has truly achieved professional fairness and authority.
Because the award has the effect of becoming a **** overnight, many directors will still desperately catch up with its schedule to avoid missing it.
The five nominations for "Calamus" include best director, best actress and best newcomer, which is definitely an exciting thing for the whole team.
Qu Xizhi did not confirm his attendance until the day before the film festival, and became the guest of honor for the Best Actress award. After hearing the news, Li Lili's first reaction was: It must be very interesting for Xizhi to present the award to Xizhi Watching.
When Gu Xizhi heard her thoughts, he kept telling her not to talk nonsense until the matter was settled.
The awards ceremony happened to be on a Monday. Qu Xizhi, who had just returned to the city where he lived the day before, drove Gu Xizhi to the airport early in the morning. Xizhi said, "You are so happy to see me, right?"
"That's right." The mood is good and the words are very nice, "By the way, when the film festival is over, I have another gift for you."
Last night, I officially finished painting the goddess. Although the artistic level is not considered a masterpiece, she is not too simple to draw something from an art school.
"Really?" Qu Xizhi said with a smile when she heard her say that she wanted to give him something for the first time, "Actually, you don't have to bother to prepare any gifts for me, you are the best gift for me. "
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Ling Xian, who had been being treated like nothing, couldn't help but cleared his throat to remind the two of them to be careful not to speak in a nasty way.
However, Gu Xizhi was in a good mood today, and he didn't care about anyone in the car, so he said, "When you see what I give you, you will definitely know yourself again."
"Really?" Hearing this, he was a little curious, "Then tell me, what am I like?"
"Hmm..." thinking, "gentle, beautiful, magical, gifted?" The last word is to praise her acting skills.
Qu Xizhi understood her description, and quickly said, "The last word refers to some skills?"
At first, Gu Xizhi didn't suspect him, but when he saw her meaningful eyes, he suddenly realized, "Qu Xizhi!" He stared.
Sitting in the back seat, wanting to poke her eyes, Ling Xian couldn't help clearing her throat again, "Ahem..."
Ling Xian choked all the way, including on the plane. Fortunately, it's not too far to go to the awards ceremony, half an hour later, Ling Xian didn't want to go with the two of them anymore after getting off the plane.
As soon as we got off the plane, it began to rain. The actor walked the red carpet at four o'clock in the afternoon. Gu Xizhi chose a red dress of the same brand as her at the suggestion of Qu Xizhi, but Qu Xizhi still kept the same brand. To avoid its edge, I chose a stable black.
Walking the red carpet is of course with the crew members. Cheng Wei, who was nominated for the best newcomer award, was wearing a handsome black tuxedo. His British-style attire made him more popular with young audiences. Although he was only standing next to him, But Gu Xizhi could still feel his aura.
A film festival is equivalent to a big gathering in the film industry. Many acquaintances would congratulate Gu Xizhi when they saw Gu Xizhi. The mood is also very excited.
The awards ceremony officially started at 7:00 pm. Although he had experienced many such scenes, Gu Xizhi looked very nervous after taking his seat. On the contrary, Cheng Wei, who participated in the film festival for the first time, looked more relaxed. Be there for her all the time and tell her not to be nervous.
In all the awards ceremonies, the most important events are put at the end, such as Best Actor and Actress, Best Director, and Best Film, so Gu Xizhi really didn't pay attention to the first few awards.
In the middle of the party, the best newcomer award began to be presented, and since Cheng Wei was nominated among them, Gu Xizhi focused his attention.
Cheng Wei's situation is different from his own. Compared with him, the few newcomers selected are definitely newcomers on the screen. There is almost no suspense that he will win the award. Therefore, before the host announces, Gu Xizhi Say ahead of time, "Congratulations."
Sitting next to her, Cheng Wei smiled confidently, "Thank you."
The host on the stage began to open the envelope, and the camera had switched to the four best newcomers. Gu Xizhi watched the host open the envelope to get the list of winners, and then watched the host pick up the envelope again after reading the list. Microphone, waiting for the result quietly like everyone present.
The host still dragged on the suspense for a long time, and zoomed in on the four actors who were nominated for the best newcomer on the big screen. Finally, when the suspense could no longer be delayed, the host took the microphone and said in a loud voice:
"Congratulations Chengwei!"
Smile, stand up, bow. Cheng Wei's performance was very mature and stable, even when he came to the stage to receive the award and his acceptance speech, he was quite satisfactory.
Watching him receive the award, Gu Xizhi was overjoyed and even more nervous, so he couldn't help sending a message to Qu Xizhi:
I'm a little nervous, what should I do?
Qu Xizhi quickly replied:
Yin Ci's performance is at most equal to yours, so be confident, there is still half an hour left, come on.
Seeing the news of Qu Xizhi's reply, Gu Xizhi still gained some motivation, calmed down and continued to watch the awards ceremony.
This year's film festival entries are particularly rich in style, and "Calamus" is a representative of the literary style. From the best newcomer to the best actress, every time the promotional film is broadcast in the middle, Gu Xizhi's mood changes Following the ups and downs, and finally waiting for the Best Actress award to be presented, Gu Xizhi was even more nervous and his palms were sweaty.
Cheng Wei has been paying attention to her emotions, and when he sees her hands resting on her lap tightly clasped, he comforts him, "Don't be nervous, we all believe in you."
The actors on the stage had just left the stage, and the host had already started chatting to introduce the upcoming awards. When Gu Xizhi heard his voice, he turned his head and said, "I'm afraid I may disappoint your expectations."
Cheng Wei smiled and said, "Don't talk about being frustrated, we all just want to wait to celebrate your success."
"Okay." The host's loud voice resounded throughout the awards hall, Gu Xizhi looked up at the stage, and the hostess looked at the camera with a smile on her face, "After talking for so long, I think everyone must agree I am looking forward to the results of this year’s Best Actress. Now let’s invite the award presenters——Ms. Qu Xizhi, the winner of the last Best Actress, and Mr. Kong Jia, the vice president of ZTE Media, came to the stage to open the envelope of the list of winners. .”
Emotional music sounded in the awards hall. On the stage, Qu Xizhi walked onto the stage with Kong Jia in her arms, stepping on the bright lights. Under the spotlight, she looked a bit of an otherworldly beauty. , the host seemed to have found some topic that everyone was interested in, and said to Qu Xizhi with a smile, "Qu Yinghou, we know that you won the best actress award last year, so last year you were nominated together with Ms. Gu Xizhi, this year she was also nominated for the Best Actress nomination, I know you guys have collaborated before, so do you have anything to say to her?"
The close-up on the big screen cut to the two of them again, Qu Xizhi smiled in front of the camera, and made a long story short, "I just want to say that she is very good, no matter what the result is, her hard work and persistence cannot be denied .”
"Okay, okay." The hostess took over the words, "Just now someone told me in the background that the rhythm of the award ceremony was too slow and everyone was very nervous, so I won't say much now, Mr. Kong, please You open the envelope and tell us the answer."
The camera cuts to the middle-aged man standing on the stage, he nodded with a smile, got the envelope from the tray in the hand of the hostess, opened the envelope in an extraordinarily tense atmosphere, and took out the list of winners .
Out of gentlemanly demeanor, President Kong handed it to Qu Xizhi after reading the list, and motioned her to read the name. Qu Xizhi was more cooperative and took the list immediately.
The big screen cuts out close-ups of the four nominated heroines. The expressions of the four heroines are very calm. Yin Ci smiles at the camera in the close-up. Although Gu Xizhi also curls the corners of his lips, the smile is obvious Not as free and easy as the show last year.
After waiting for this award for too long, she cared about it very much, and she didn't want to pretend that she didn't care anymore.
On the stage, Qu Xizhi took the list and picked up the microphone. His eyes fell on the black and white words. After waiting for a while, he raised his head and looked at a certain position in the auditorium.
"The best actress of this year's Golden Tripod Awards is..." After a pause, she looked at Yin Ci's position, her voice was steady and serious.
Probably because they have been together for a while, they can still grasp the other party's emotions to a certain extent. In short, Gu Xizhi was not too surprised when she heard her pronounce the next name.
"Yin Ci."
………
…
Applause, music, smiles. The entire awards hall was enveloped by these beaming things in an instant, and the shot that had even given the four nominated actors a second ago focused on Yin Ci in an instant. Gu Xizhi looked at the scene quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"No, there must be something wrong with this award." Cheng Wei, who is usually quiet and shy, made such remarks immediately after seeing such a result.
Someone looked back at him because of his words, and He Xue, who had been sitting by the side without speaking, cleared her throat and said, "Cheng Wei, don't talk nonsense."
Being reprimanded by He Xue, Cheng Wei turned his head to Gu Xizhi a little aggrieved, "Miss Xiaojing..."
"It's okay." Gu Xizhi signaled him to be quiet, "This is the result, it should be right."
"But you..."
"Cheng Wei." Gu Xizhi said seriously, "Yin Ci and I were originally on the fifth or fifth floor, so it's normal for her to win the award."
Seeing that she was so calm, Cheng Wei didn't know what to say anymore.
"Yin Ci, our queen of 'Yin'! Welcome to the stage to receive the award." The high-pitched and resounding voice of the host resounded through the awards hall, and Gu Xizhi looked up at Yin Ci, who was wearing a long Chinese-style dress, and stood up from the banquet , bowed to the audience to thank, just silent for a while.
From the auditorium to the stage, Yin Ci has always been graceful and smiling. This is not the first time she has won an award, so her performance does not seem to be the slightest bit excited, but she is indeed happy.
The result is certain, but Gu Xizhi was not at all interested in her award acceptance speech. After confirming the result, Gu Xizhi turned to Cheng Wei and said, "It's nothing to do with me after the award is over. Take a step."
"Miss Jing..." Cheng Wei wanted to catch up, but He Xue said, "Don't chase, let her be alone."
Cheng Wei looked at her back with a very complicated expression.
After a day of rain, the city seems to have been baptized from the beginning to the end, and the air is very fresh when the windows are opened. The awards hall is located on the top floor. After walking out of the hall on the red carpet, you can just see the iconic buildings in the center of the city through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Different cities, different scenery, four years of mood.
Gu Xizhi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and quietly looked at the tall tower standing in the rain, his eyes were silent and unfocused.
Several actors who followed her quietly saw her stop, and came behind her to sing.
"Hey, look who that is. He's wearing a red dress, so festive. He's going to receive the Best Actress award, right?"
The voice was sharp and full of sarcasm, Gu Xizhi retracted his gaze, obviously attracted by the voice.
Gu Xizhi recognized this voice. When filming "Wang Chuan", she had been chosen as the second female lead, but was replaced by Lin Mingling.
"Ah? I don't know much about Best Actress, but the clothes she wears are from the same brand and series as Qu Xizhi's. I still think Miss Qu Xizhi can wear this brand's elegance. "
"Yo yo yo, don't say that, compared to Qu Xizhi, her acting skills are already very inferior, so what will happen to you if she is not as good as you?"
"That's right, that's right, you must not say that. He is just a name and Qu Xi's likeness. Does it make sense for you to put the sky and the earth together?"
"Hey, I'm just curious. You said that everyone started at the same time. How come some people won the Best Actress early, while others were nominated for four consecutive years but failed to win the Best Actress? You Does she have self-esteem?"
"Self-esteem?" Someone was laughing, "If I were her, I would either quit the entertainment industry directly, or I would have surpassed Qu Xizhi a long time ago. Do you think she has self-esteem like her?"
Continuous sarcasm and sarcasm pierced into his ears sharply, Gu Xizhi stared fixedly at the tower in the rain, before turning his head to look at several actresses after a long time.
"No matter how bad I am, I am ten thousand times better than you."
Seeing that she fought back, several actresses immediately besieged her with words, but no matter what they said, Gu Xizhi pretended not to hear, turned around and walked towards the stairs alone.
The night sky is dark without a single star. The moonlight faded under the rain, Gu Xizhi walked out of the hotel, staring at the pouring rain and the empty road in a daze.
I don't know where I'm going, I just know that I don't want to see any familiar people and things, and I don't want to be ashamed in front of others.
The rain was splashing on the ground, and it was painful to hit the person. Gu Xizhi walked forward quietly in the rain, his eyes always hanging down slightly.
An indescribable feeling made her fearless in the face of rain, and she even felt that after being baptized by such rain, she would become more sober.
This is the last time.
Gu Xizhi said in his heart.
She will not choose movies again.
I don't know how long it took, but a car began to follow unhurriedly beside her. When she walked, the car would follow her, and when she stopped, the car would also stop.
Finally, Gu Xizhi couldn't help but stop and raised his head to look at the car beside him. The owner of that car seemed to be waiting for this moment too. Seeing her raise his head, he slowly lowered the window.
"If this sad look is captured by the media, it will be a big fuss." Lin Mingling sat in the back seat of the car and looked at Gu Xizhi with a smile, "The rain is so cold, your clothes are soaked Why don't you come and sit in the car?"
Gu Xizhi gave her a cold look, turned his head, and continued walking forward.
Lin Mingling smiled and said, "I heard that the best actress is Yin Ci. Although I don't know much about movies, guess what would happen if the person competing with her on the same stage tonight was Qu Xizhi?"
Gu Xizhi stopped and quietly looked at the empty road in the distance.
Yin Ci's performance has not made a breakthrough, but Qu Xizhi's works in the past two years have been extraordinary. If both of them make no mistakes, Qu Xizhi will not lose to her.
"I think you also know the result." Lin Mingling continued, "Look, Qu Xizhi is better than Yin Ci, but you are not even as good as Yin Ci. What qualifications do you think you have to be with Qu Xizhi?" Together?"
Gu Xizhi turned his head slowly, "So you appear here at this time to provoke our relationship?" He snorted and said, "Dream."
Lin Mingling smiled, and said unhurriedly, "I'm not trying to force you, I just want you to recognize the status quo." After a pause, "You and Qu Xizhi have a lot to do together. It's time, I think you should also know that you are not right in terms of family background or career, you are so weak that I can block you with a flick of a finger, now Qu Xizhi likes you and will be patient with you, But what about the future? There is always a trouble, a useless cripple, are you sure she will always treat you well?"
"Crippled..." Gu Xizhi pursed his lips lightly, "Go on, use your skills to continue persuading me, and see if you can succeed?"
"If you lose the Best Actress this time, China Entertainment International will freeze you." Lin Mingling smiled more gently, "I forgot to tell you before that the reason why Sun Tingyou suddenly made things difficult for you was because of me." She His voice was very clear in the rain, "The grandparents of the Sun family have indeed accumulated a lot of wealth, which was enough for Sun Tingyou to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble for a lifetime. Unfortunately, several directors of China Entertainment International have long been dissatisfied and wanted to bring him down. If it weren't for me Save him halfway, he's already finished." Smiling, "I didn't want to get involved in the mess of China Entertainment International, but unfortunately, I won't be able to see Qu Xizhi with others in this life, as long as I can change Back to her, I am willing to try anything. As for your future, I think I have enough shares to decide everything."
Gu Xizhi still looked indifferent, "Really."
Lin Mingling was not infected by her negative emotions, and continued, "By the way, what are you going to do after being refrigerated by CEI? Do you want to continue asking Qu Xizhi for help?" Smiling, "You have the guts to do this Of course it doesn't matter, but Qu Xizhi is your lover and not a tool for you to use, don't wait until you are rejected by others to realize it."
The rain kept falling, and Gu Xizhi's hair and skirt were soaked. After listening to her quietly, Gu Xizhi smiled, "What else? I really don't want to tell you, what you said is not true at all." It didn't impress me."
"I see." Lin Mingling smiled, "I guessed that you would say that, so I prepared an extra gift for you."
Turning his head and saying something to the people around him, the window on the other side of the car opened soon, and a man in black led a woman out of the car. He was also tightly covered with bandages.
The man in black brought the woman in front of Gu Xizhi. The woman's legs seemed to be tripped, and she fell in front of Gu Xizhi. Gu Xizhi glanced at her, and now his expression gradually revealed surprise, " Clean up?"
Bo Yiqing was dragged up from the ground by the man in black, and kept shaking his head at Gu Xizhi.
Lin Mingling got out of the car, held a big red umbrella and smiled at Gu Xizhi, "I said it just now, it was my idea to put Sun Ting in a difficult situation, but sending Bo Yiqing to his bed, It was Qu Xizhi's idea."
Gu Xizhi's eyes turned away from Bo Yiqing because of her words, and slowly turned to her.
Lin Mingling continued, "I'm sorry to tell you, but it's because I want to protect you, who is useless, that Qu Xizhi asked Bo Yiqing to please Sun Tingyou on your behalf. What do you think your movie is? Here? You don't want to be slept. It was Bo Yiqing who helped you sleep. You didn't want to please him. It was Bo Yiqing who smiled and said good things for you in front of him. I don't know how heartless you are to watch An irrelevant person got into the mud because of you, she was pregnant, she had a miscarriage, all because of one of your movies, in the end..." The smile was almost weird, "Yet you lost the best actress again."
Under the heavy rain, Bo Yiqing, who was restrained by the man in black, kept shaking his head, as if wanting her to stop talking, Lin Mingling glanced at her, deeply bent his lips, and said the last sentence to Gu Xizhi talk.
"I forgot to tell you that there is a problem with the abortion operation, and her uterus is gone." After a pause, "Because of you, she almost lost everything."
The rain fell heavily, and it hurt like a knife gouged out on the skin, and the vision in front of him was blurred, as if the violent rain had fascinated the eyes.
Looking at the blurred face in front of him, Gu Xizhi suddenly felt pain in his eyes, tears flowed down his cheeks suddenly uncontrollable.
Bo Yiqing seemed to hate Lin Mingling very much, when she said the last sentence, he kept staring at her fiercely.
Lin Mingling looked at her, smiled slightly, put away the umbrella and walked into the car again.
The man in black quickly followed her into the car. When the wheels rolled over the puddle, a lot of water splashed. Gu Xizhi didn't care about the muddy water splashed all over his body. With his hands, he removed the bandage on her mouth bit by bit.
The first moment he was able to speak, Bo Yiqing said in a hoarse voice, "Miss Xiaojing, don't believe her, what she said is all lies, she is crazy!"
Gu Xizhi just looked at the excited woman crying, and didn't speak for a long time.
Seeing that she was silent, Bo Yiqing was anxious and sad, "Miss Xiao Jing, don't do this, you are doing what she wants!"
The knee seemed to be pulled violently by some force, Gu Xizhi looked at her quietly with red eyes, and slightly bent his knee.
"Miss Xiaojing?!" Bo Yiqing looked at her in surprise, while she completely bent her knees.
She knelt heavily in front of her.
The author has something to say: the current Xiaojing is still very weak
