Chapter 110
Chapter 110
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Bai Yan took Lu Zhihui to visit Wen Ning's grave.It was snowing that day, not too much, and the snowflakes were just like fine salt.Surrounded by a vast expanse of white silver, no one can feel the chill, but it does give off a bit of deep winter style.
Wen Ning is buried in Xishan Cemetery, which is far away, and it takes an hour to go there.But the advantage lies in good feng shui and cleanliness.
"Mom, I'm here to see you."
Bai Yan took off his leather gloves and wiped off the fine snow on the photo.The photo shows Wen Ning at the age of 20, with delicate features and a peaceful smile.Bai Yan's eyes were exactly the same as hers, when he smiled, it seemed as if there was a flash of light.When Wen Ning was alive, she said that the most beautiful photos must be placed on her tombstone.And the time when she was the most beautiful was when she didn't meet Bai Yan's father.
"Mom, this is my husband. I told you before that I'm married."
He was wearing a beige wool cap, half of his face was huddled in a fluffy camel scarf, his crystal eyes were curved, and he was as innocent as when he was a child.
Bai Yan is different from other adults, he has always called Wen Ning "Mom". He thinks this title is closer than "Mom", as if, in front of his mother, he can never grow up and act like a baby forever.So he has always called it that way, from childhood to adulthood, and never changed his mouth.
Lu Zhihui bowed to the photo and said, "Mom, I'm Lu Zhihui, Yanyan's husband. I'm sorry, I've been married for so long and I just came to see you. I hope you will forgive me."
He didn't make excuses because it was a tombstone and not a real person. On the contrary, both of them were very serious. Bai Yan also brought Wen Ning's favorite red wine, and wanted the three of them to have a drink together.
He tore off the seal, took out the corkscrew and inserted it, turning it around and around.But because the temperature was too low, the bottle was like a ball of ice when he held it, and his hands trembled from the cold.
"I come."
Lu Zhihui put the wine bottle on the ground, then took off his gloves, breathed a sigh of relief at Bai Yan's frozen red hand, and rubbed it carefully in the palm of his hand.When the temperature came up, he picked up the glove that Bai Yan put aside and put it on for him, before going to deal with the bottle of wine.
Normally, this movement would be very useful to Bai Yan, and he would take this opportunity to take a sip.But now in front of Wen Ning's tomb, he is still a little embarrassed.
"Hey." He touched his nose with a smile, and said to Wen Ning, "Look, Mom, Mr. is very kind to me."
Even though there is only one tombstone, he still feels that Wen Ning is standing in front of him, and will touch his cheek with those vicissitudes but warm hands in the next moment.
Lu Zhihui took out the wine glass from the suitcase, and slowly filled three glasses with the red liquid.
Last night on New Year's Eve, the family gathered around a round table to eat, and the little leopard was also very happy.However, after watching the Spring Festival Gala, everyone went back to their rooms, but Little Leopard was alone in a daze at the empty round table that had been cleaned up.
That disappointed expression hurt Lu Zhihui.At that moment, he seemed to see the little match seller walking alone in the noisy street market. After feeling the hustle and bustle of the bustling city for a short time, he returned to loneliness.
So, when the little leopard asked him if he was free the next day, he was the first to say, do you want to visit mom?
The little leopard was pleasantly surprised by his initiative. He was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a while, but put his head on his neck, and choked up for a long time before saying:
"It's very kind of you, sir."
"Mom, last year was my natal year. Don't you often say that bad things are easy to encounter in natal years, so you have to be extra careful? But I was very lucky last year. I was so lucky that even if something bad happened, I would die immediately. It can turn the corner."
Bai Yan wiped the tombstone very gently, as if washing Wen Ning's face. After cleaning, he put the bouquet under Wen Ning's photo.The flower was a Phalaenopsis. When they went to buy flowers, the shopkeeper was surprised and asked them repeatedly if they needed to change to chrysanthemums.After all, when it comes to sweeping graves, no one has bought such bright flower seeds.
"You said Phalaenopsis is the most beautiful flower in the world, but I think mother is prettier than Phalaenopsis."
Bai Yan took a sip of the wine carefully, and the mellow liquid swirled in his mouth, opening his mouth to talk.
He only picked up happy things, such as breaking up with that bastard Zhang Xuan and meeting his husband.For example, he established his own studio and hired an ace agent.For example, he recently completed a movie, which is very likely to win an award.
He narrated that although he often came alone before, after experiencing the excitement of Lu's house last night, he always felt that he still had a lot to say to Wen Ning.
On the way, Lu Zhihui was very quiet, holding Bai Yan's hand all the time, seeing that he was sad, he put his arms around his shoulder and patted him a few times.
In the secluded cemetery, there is only the sound of the wind, and even the voice of speaking seems to be sucked away, and there will be no echo when you speak.The two of them squatted in front of the tomb, the white snow fell on their heads, and a small piece of silver accumulated.People can't help but believe that when they are old and their hair is gray, they will cuddle up and support each other as they are now.
"Mom, I miss you so much."
Bai Yan, who had been nagging for a long time, finally said the most sincere sentence. When he spoke, he just inhaled a burst of cold air, which made the tip of his nose sour and his eyes red.
Lu Zhihui tightened his hand by two points, fixedly looking at the photo on the tombstone, with sincere eyes:
"Mom, I will take good care of Yanyan. He has a family now, don't worry."
Home, such a warm word.
Bai Yan recalled the past few years, when Wen Ning was not alive, he didn't dare to go back to his hometown to find relatives, and he was alone during the holidays.Dong Weiguang often invited him to sit in the store, but if he went, it meant that Dong Weiguang himself could not accompany his family, and later he refused with various reasons.I stayed at home alone, not daring to turn on the lights.Because when the light was on, every corner of the room would become extremely clear, and it would appear wide and wide, empty, and he was the only one.
Later, he also has a home.
Bai Yan's heart was filled to the brim, like the Ruoergai Grassland blooming with Gesang flowers when the spring breeze blows by.
"White Night" has few post-production special effects, and the finished film came out soon, and it was successfully scheduled until April 4th.
After a few months of rest, Bai Yan's fans are no longer so fanatical - this is the report of gossip news in the industry before "White Night" was released.
However, on the first day of the film's release, all major forums were overwhelmed by the character of Fu Ye.Although the trailer also has a scene of Fu Ye, but in order not to spoil the scene, the classic scene of him kissing rose petals after the battle was not exposed in advance.Even when the audience followed Fu Bai's thinking to see the truth of the matter, and saw the man who should have been indifferent kiss the petals affectionately, the inner universe exploded-according to the words on the Internet, I can!
Here's what film critics said:
"Wei Jiachen's performance is quite satisfactory, and Bai Yan's performance is amazing. The script and director's skills are a plus, making this otherwise mediocre story possible."
"Bai Yan's performance surprised me. To be honest, I have always been prejudiced against traffic stars, thinking that they are destroying the market and the purity of the industry. I think I need to redefine the word 'traffic'."
"Before it was released, I always thought it was a eulogy of love without illness, but after watching the movie, the characters in it moved me very much. The ending of the story is very good. The heroine is sitting in the courtyard and hears footsteps outside the courtyard. She is still full of hope, It’s like Fu Ye’s look every time he looks for her. Knowing that he will not appear again and looking forward to his appearance, the smile made me cry for the second time for this movie. Of course, the first time gave kissing petals Fu Ye."
Even Liu Ji posted the ticket stubs of "White Night", saying, "A good movie deserves everyone's support."
Overnight, praise continued.
Originally, according to Bai Yan's level of filmmaking in the past two years, the rating on Douban was very low at that time. Although there were fans maintaining it, it was always hovering between 3.5 and 4.0.However, from the first day of its release, the film immediately gained a lot of "tap water", and a large number of 10-point reviews emerged. By the end of the third day, the box office had broken through the 4 million mark, and the score had soared to 7.6. trend up.
Because of the capital blessing and fan effect, the box office in the first three days will be relatively high. The real measure of whether a movie is popular or not is generally to start watching from the fourth day.Therefore, when the single-day box office broke through 2 million on the fourth day, the investors finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the end, the box office was locked at 30 billion. Although it failed to make it into the top ten in film history, this result is already the highest box office since the beginning of the year.Douban, which has always been harsh on Bai Yan's works, also scored 8.4, which can be described as a double harvest at the box office.
The good news comes one after another.For example, at the crew's celebration banquet, Shi Rui told him that the role of Fu Ye had been confirmed to be shortlisted for this year's Golden Rooster Award.
The Golden Rooster Award is a film award with a high gold content in China. Unlike the Hundred Flowers Award, which is voted by the audience, the Golden Rooster Award is judged by very prestigious experts in the industry.Emotional tension, character shape, and even the ability of lines, all aspects will be carefully examined, and finally seven grand prizes and several small prizes will be selected from hundreds of participating works, and the number of finalists for "Best Actor" is only 5.
In other words, being shortlisted is already a great affirmation of the actor.
This year's Golden Rooster Awards were held two months earlier due to force majeure, but this did not prevent the judges from noticing Bai Yan.
"Get ready for your acceptance speech, and don't stay there when the time comes."
The day before the award ceremony, Shi Rui called him and told him.
"Award acceptance speech?" When the award was mentioned, Bai Yan was in a daze, "The other four shortlisted together are all seniors. I, can I win the award?"
He thought that Shi Rui came to remind him deliberately because he had some inside news, so he was nervous and worried, as if there were groups of reporters chasing and filming in front of him.
Shi Rui pursed his lips, "It's up to the experts to judge or not, and it's up to you to prepare to speak. Taking a step back, as the only young actor among the nominees, you will definitely be the focus of everyone's attention. Even if you don't win the award, There are still many reporters waiting to ask you questions outside the venue, are you going to play haha and get away with it?"
"Oh, that's it." Knowing Shi Rui's intentions, Bai Yan felt a little more relaxed after being lost, "Then I'm going to prepare and go there early tomorrow."
"Well, Hong Zhi will go to make your styling in advance. At that time, Chen Xiaoxin will also send the costumes. Although it is the first time for you to be shortlisted for such an important award, you are inevitably nervous. But among your group of young actors, you are the first One and the only one shortlisted, this is enough to write into your acting career. Treat it with a normal heart, you can afford it if you win the award, and if you don’t win it, being shortlisted is enough to affirm your strength. With this platform, good scripts will be created in the future There will be more."
Shi Rui is always so sharp, able to see through Bai Yan's worries, and can help him see through the clouds with just a few sentences.
That's right, he is a person who has been nominated for the Golden Broom all the year round. With his own efforts, he interpreted a role recognized by the public, and thus was shortlisted for a heavyweight film award. He was nominated together with many seniors. This in itself is a great honor for an actor.Not winning the award means that his current level still needs to be improved. If he wins the award, he can afford it based on his performance in this movie.
Thinking about it this way, tomorrow is to meet with the big shots in the film industry and witness the birth of the actor.If the actor is himself, it is indeed the best result.If not, that's fine too.
"Sir, I may have to leave early tomorrow, and I should come back quite late at night, so don't wait for me for dinner."
Bai Yan ran to the top of the building and kissed the man who was watching the stars on the recliner.
Lu Zhihui raised the corners of his lips: "I'll go tomorrow too."
The author has something to say: ……………………………………………………………………………
During the Chinese New Year this year, Liu Xiaoran intends to keep the tradition of previous years and give each child a red envelope.As for the congratulatory speech, of course, Mr. Lu had to write it himself.
"The next letter is for my son-in-law. You can write it for me—the future will be long, and the cub will rush to the duck. This 'duck' should be written as the duck of Donald Duck, not the one next to the word."
Liu Xiaoran handed over the last piece of cardboard for the finale, feeling very happy in his heart.But at the same time, Mr. Lu was quite unhappy.
"What do you write about the future? Happy New Year is enough."
"This can't be done. They all have their own blessings, so they can't be so casual." She typed out the eight words on the mobile phone as she spoke, for fear that the old man would make a mistake when he was too dazed.
Lu Kui took the phone over, and it was not pleasing to the eye no matter how you looked at it, "Tsk, just go ahead, what do you write?"
He dipped the brush twice and was about to start writing, but was stopped by Liu Xiaoran in a serious manner: "No, it must be Chongya. I went online to watch it today, and fans cheered for idols, and they all said Chongya."
Lu Kui didn't want to do it, "I'll write a long-term future at most. If you want to use it, use it, and if you don't need it, don't put it in."
His tough attitude certainly made Liu Xiaoran unhappy.The old lady was so angry that she didn't speak while eating, and deliberately moved the old man's favorite dish to the farthest place so that he couldn't pick it up.
This is not good.Although the old lady took good care of herself on weekdays, she was old after all. If she was so angry for a long time, she might develop some kind of illness.So, a group of children asked what happened, but the old man couldn't hold back his face and said, but he was worried that the old lady would get angry and fierce, so he kept circling around in the study.
It was night, and the old lady was sitting on the swing in the yard, still not speaking.In the end, the old man didn't hold her back, and bowed his head first.But as a noble Lu family member, it is very dignified for him to bow his head!
I saw him playing a disc of classical music very elegantly, and sat down when the music started. He was very reluctant but had to put the greeting card written in Liu Xiaoran's hand, "The future is long, Zai Zai Chong The eight big characters of "Duck" are extremely clear.
He muttered angrily:
"Also like a little girl, like others to chase after stars, and not afraid of being laughed at by others."
Liu Xiaoran was still angry, but he couldn't refuse the greeting card.So she put the things away and got angry.
If one trick doesn't work, the old man still has another trick.I saw him cough loudly twice.
"Cough cough!"
Then he got up, bent down, and stretched out his palms to Liu Xiaoran:
"Ma'am, can I ask you to dance?"
Although he was extremely unhappy, his tone was soft.
Liu Xiaoran ignored him.
So he cursed secretly: "I knew this kid Bai Yan's method wouldn't work!"
His voice was extremely low, almost slanderous, but Liu Xiaoran just heard it:
"Who says it won't work? Just jump and jump!"
As a result, the atmosphere that was still tense a moment ago suddenly became warm, mixed with the melodious violin music, just like the scene at the end of the movie, sweet and warm
