Synopsis:
Due to falling ill in his youth, Xu Jingning, wh...
extra 4.3
"So when will you be back?"
"Yeah, I just got off the plane, and Brother Chen helped me get several endorsements. After all, the holiday is over and the previous work can't be put off any longer."
"Okay, take care of yourself. You've been running around lately so don't get sick."
"I know. I will take good care of myself. Go quickly. It's late there, isn't it?"
After hanging up the phone with Yan Xun, Xu Jingning tightened the collar of his coat, lowered his head and huddled in his scarf, trying to cover up the drafty spots.
The weather in Pingjiang is so damn chilly even in spring.
It's very cold everyday.
At this time of year in previous years, he would wrap himself up tightly. He didn't care if no one was paying attention to him and would just dress however he wanted to keep warm.
But the situation this year is a little different... It was time for him to return to work, and then Director Fang called him to the capital to attend the domestic premiere of "Summer Tide".
In fact, because of the award it won at the beginning of last year, the resources for this film can be found online, and it depends on the ability of the Chinese people. But since it has passed the review in China, the significance is still different.
Therefore, it is said that a lot of people will come to tomorrow's preview.
The agent also told Xu Jingning very seriously that he had to maintain his image as there would be many fans coming to pick him up at the airport.
Being picked up at the airport is a very new thing. It’s not that I haven’t seen other stars being picked up at the airport before, but this is the first time for me.
It’s quite strange to say that Xu Jingning has been very popular for more than a year, but he has not been picked up at the airport until now.
When Xu Jingning was first heard to be a little nervous, his makeup artist was still laughing: "After all, this is something we didn't expect. Ningning, all your work this year was completed in Pingjiang."
Yes, after finishing "Tian Tian", Xu Jingning took on another drama at the end of the year, which was still filmed in Pingjiang Film and Television City. The two flying variety shows in between were not far away from each other. Except for the trips that required him to secretly go abroad, he never left Pingjiang once.
"Saving time is a good thing, but you also have to adapt to it later, after all, you have to expand outward."
Indeed, the scope of work received has become wider.
The preview was held in the capital of half a country away. Xu Jingning wore a fashionable but not warm coat, and the scarf around his neck, which had very poor warmth retention, only served as a decoration. It was only after Xu Jingning begged and coaxed that the stylist reluctantly put it on for him.
After matching them, she admired them with satisfaction for a while, then frowned and slapped Xu Jingning, who was shrinking his neck, "Don't do this when you get off the plane later! Your manners! Where are your manners!"
Xu Jingning stood up with a numb face, and there was a slight chill on his neck.
After getting off the plane, I found that the weather in the capital was more torturous than that in Pingjiang.
After mumbling for a while, they got off the plane. Fortunately, due to Xu Jingning's professionalism and some inexplicable burdens, the journey to the airport was very smooth. He greeted the fans with a standard smile and kept interacting until the bodyguard started to remind him of the time, then he quickly got into the car.
"I'm freezing, I'm freezing, turn on the air conditioner!"
Xu Jingning shrank back, and then he realized that there was someone sitting next to him.
Xu Jingning was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the driver in front of him. He was indeed from their studio, so he asked in confusion, "Hello, who are you? Are you the new assistant?"
The person next to him was covered tightly. He smiled softly when he heard it, took off his glasses, and pulled down a scarf that was somewhat similar to Xu Jingning's: "Well, before arriving at the preview, I was your personal assistant, Mr. Xu."
Xu Jingning's eyes widened in surprise: "Yan Xun? Why are you here? Didn't you say you were still busy with the casting?"
"The casting has been completed. Besides, the first preview of Summer Tide is so important, how can I not be there?"
Xu Jingning couldn't hide the smile on his face. He raised the corners of his lips and looked at the driver in front of him. He tried to pretend to be calm: "Yeah, you are right. This movie is really important to us."
Yan Xun chuckled, and then pretended to be calm under Xu Jingning's threatening gaze: "Teacher Xu is right."
The airport was not far from the arranged location, and it took more than an hour to drive there. The two of them arrived neither too early nor too late, at least just enough to avoid having to greet some people. After changing clothes and doing new makeup backstage, the two of them came in together, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Walking over and sitting next to Fang Shu, the director who he hadn't seen for a long time was not in a good mood. He snorted and said, "Oh, you two still remember to come to my place. I thought today was not a preview party, but you came to the engagement scene."
Xu Jingning was about to explain, but Yan Xun responded calmly, "Oh? How did Director Fang know that Ningning and I were engaged?"
Xu Jingning: “……?”
Not really, but it seems okay to say so.
Afterwards, Director Fang was shocked by the sudden amount of information in this sentence.
He quickly lowered his voice. Although his expression was still serious, he was obviously full of gossip: "When did it happen? It was confirmed so quickly? Have the arrangements related to the wedding been confirmed?"
Xu Jingning remembered that Director Fang had never been so gossipy before.
But before he could ask any questions, Director Fang finally revealed his real purpose: "Actually, you young people, there's no need to rush to get married. Just date for a while longer. Don't rush to get married this year. I still want to find Ning Ning for my next drama!"
Xu Jingning: “?”
Yan Xun raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you ask me first?"
Fang Shu looked disgusted: "I'm tired of filming movies for you. You still need some fresh and handsome faces."
Yan Xun: “…”
Xu Jingning: “Puff…”
Afterwards, the three of them didn't communicate much. The camera swept over them and they all went through the whole process with a serious look on their faces.
More than a year has passed, and when they got together again because of this movie, Xu Jingning even felt a little different.
Seeing him sigh, Yan Xun asked quietly, "What's wrong?"
Xu Jingning smiled and shook his head: "I just feel very surprised. I didn't expect that there would really be such a day."
Before filming "Summer Tide", Xu Jingning never thought that he would really go so far.
Yan Xun understood what he meant, chuckled and said, "You have to get used to it. There will be many more scenes like this in the future."
You will go higher and further.
After the preview ended, there was a wave of heated discussion on the Internet, especially the Xun Ning CP, which once again topped several trending search terms. However, everyone was very cautious in their discussion and did not confuse the characters with the actors. Even if they were talking about it in the super topic, they still had to seriously talk about the beautiful pictures and touching plot in other places.
When he saw these messages, Xu Jingning had already slept for most of the day. When he woke up, it was dark. He stretched, casually browsed Weibo, then got up and went downstairs to find Yan Xun.
At this point, Yan Xun was preparing dinner. Although neither of them was a good cook, since they were at home together, they still liked to do it themselves. It just so happened that his cooking skills were also liked by Xu Jingning, so he still had time to make some simple preparations.
After dinner, the two went to the study to rest. Sitting on the sofa together, Yan Xun flipped through a book and suddenly asked, "What are your work arrangements next?"
Maybe because he had just eaten a full meal, Xu Jingning's brain turned slowly and he couldn't remember: "I don't remember... I seem to be filming next week. It's a third-leading role, and it will probably take several months. As for other work... you can ask Brother Chen."
But Yan Xun just smiled, as if he already knew: "Do you want to continue making movies?"
Xu Jingning nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I did. It's just that I didn't come across a good movie last year. If I have a chance in the future..."
As he was talking, he suddenly realized: "What do you recommend?"
"Well, we have already started looking for someone for the third part. There is a role that Joss thinks you are suitable for."
The film series of this IP invested by Yan Xun have to be filmed in different countries, so basically each film has a different director. If Yan Xun was not the producer, he wouldn't have to follow every film.
Coincidentally, the director of the third part was Lean.
Xu Jingning thought of this director whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He vaguely remembered that at an awards ceremony at the end of last year, Ryan once again won the Best Director Award. His reputation seemed to be getting better and better.
Breaking away from his mother's style, Jos gradually changed his style. He was not as adventurous as Mrs. Ryan, but to a certain extent he also opened up a new style for their market and was deeply loved by young people. Thinking of this, Xu Jingning became very interested.
"The protagonist of this film is transformed into his younger self by accident and comes to a new country for adventure. The main theme of this film is full of fantasy. Joss recommended you and many people agreed with his suggestion."
At this point, Yan Xun raised his head: "It's just right, we can spend a whole six months together."
…
"Congratulations to Mr. Xu Jingning for winning this year's Best Actor award!"
Applause rang out all around, and warm congratulations rolled in like waves. Xu Jingning walked to the podium amid the congratulations of the crowd and accepted everyone's sincere blessings.
He has gone through this process many times. Three years have passed since he became popular. He has won awards every year and produced well-received works every year. Now Xu Jingning is not only a first-line actor, but also classified as a powerful actor.
The Internet's memories change quickly. Three years have passed, and no one seems to have any interest in exploring how Xu Jingning became so popular. Except for the occasional new fans digging up old content, which did not generate any heat, when people mention Xu Jingning, they only think of his works.
And at this moment, because of his winning the award, the domestic popularity has once again turned upside down.
This is the first time he has won the Best Actor award, and it is also the most prestigious award recognized by the film industry.
After the award ceremony, everyone surrounded him and went backstage. Facing a group of shouting team members, Xu Jingning was the calmest one.
His current assistant is a girl who just graduated. She witnessed such a grand scene just after following Xu Jingning and was so excited that she was speechless.
"Ahhhhh Brother Xu, you're so calm! Aren't you excited at all?"
The assistant's excited voice reminded Xu Jingning. He was not very convenient to open his eyes because he was helping the makeup artist remove his makeup, so he ordered: "Help me see what the hot searches are saying."
Even if you haven't watched it, you know that everyone is definitely discussing his winning the Best Actor award.
The assistant was a very responsible person. He suppressed his excitement and read the fans' comments to him one by one. As he was reading, he suddenly stopped and the dressing room became quiet in an instant.
Then, the team members started shouting "Hello, Boss" one by one.
Xu Jingning didn't open his eyes, waiting for someone to come to him. Then, after his face was cleaned, someone gave him a kiss.
When the familiar breath came to his face, Xu Jingning opened his eyes. Seeing that the man wanted to come again, he stretched out his hand to hold him back: "At least wait for me to put on a mask."
Yan Xun chuckled: "I'm so happy, I can't help it."
The staff around them all smiled like aunties and quickly left the dressing room, leaving the space for the young couple.
Yan Xun took out a pack of face towels from the tool kit, wiped Xu Jingning's face carefully, and then helped her apply a facial mask without complaint: "There will be a bonfire party on the island at nine o'clock, do you want to go?"
Xu Jingning was lazy and had no interest: "Can we make it in time? It's eight o'clock now, right?"
"And I'm kind of hungry."
"Zhang Siyan is there with Weekend Moo. There are food, barbecue and other things. We can go over there to eat."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jingning finally became interested. He looked at Yan Xun with some sarcasm: "Why, is he demonstrating to you?"
At the beginning of last year, Xu Jingning and Yan Xun got engaged successfully, but due to their work, they had not been able to determine the specific wedding date. At that time, Yan Xun had just shown off to his good friends, but Zhang Siyan was not convinced and arranged the engagement and wedding in one go.
Now and this weekend they are on their honeymoon around the world.
Yan Xun didn't say anything, but he was obviously not very happy about being shown off.
So Xu Jingning was tortured by all means for several days.
Thinking of this, Xu Jingning got angry. It wasn't him who was dragging his feet on getting married. After all, it was Yan Xun's IP series that had not been completed and he was needed anytime and anywhere, so the marriage was delayed again and again and the time was changed several times.
Later on, Xu Jingning was tired of making changes and said, why not just leave it as it is, there is no need to pick a specific date, just do it whenever you are free.
Then he was scolded by Ms. Jiang.
However, we had obtained the marriage certificate a long time ago. It was just a sudden impulse that day. We saw something about White Valentine's Day on the Internet. It happened that both of us were free, so we went out and got the certificate.
When Ms. Jiang found out about this later, she was so angry that she beat her chest and stamped her feet, but Xu Xingcheng smiled and gave him a big red envelope.
Then the newlyweds have to be busy with their respective work when they go out.
Ignoring this matter, the two of them packed up, left the award ceremony, and headed for the small island mentioned by Yan Xun. Since it was not far away, it didn't take them long to get there. It was just after nine o'clock, and clusters of bonfires were lit in the dark night. Many people gathered around the bonfires, dancing and singing. Xu Jingning had sharp eyes and soon saw Zhang Siyan and Weekend in the crowd, but there were many people taking pictures around, so they didn't go up directly.
Xu Jingning wanted to go up and say hello, but Yan Xun held her hand and said, "Someone is taking pictures."
This reminder made Xu Jingning remember that ever since Zhang Siyan carelessly posted his wedding photos on Weibo, the two of them simply gave up, pushed all their work, and traveled around the world. Although they had temporarily quit the Internet and disappeared, from time to time someone would take pictures of their honeymoon itinerary, either by fans who happened to meet them by chance, or by people who saw the handsome guy or beautiful girl and shared them online, and then the news spread, and it reached China.
Moreover, these two people are in a very open relationship and don't mind people taking pictures. Sometimes they will even strike poses in a way that makes their CP fans dizzy.
Yan Xun snorted coldly: "He has become so arrogant that he changed the CP super topic profile picture to his and Weekend Weekend's wedding photo."
Xu Jingning tried to hold back his laughter.
Not only that, she also told him on Weekend Weekend that it was the one she picked personally and the one she was most satisfied with.
Yan Xun reminded them because he was worried that they would be photographed together, but Xu Jingning felt that since they were receiving the award nearby, it would be normal even if they were photographed.
Xu Jingning waited until the two of them had shown off enough in the crowd before she went up to call for help. When Weekend saw them, her mood visibly soared and she immediately left her newlywed husband and ran towards them.
"Ahhh, I miss you so much, Ningning!" Weekend came up and gave her a hug, "Do you miss your sister?"
"I think so. I haven't seen you for four months. I didn't expect you two were so happy. How could I not believe that you would remember me?"
Four months ago, it was their wedding, and Xu Jingning was forced to be the bridesmaid blocking the door.
Weekend let go of him with a smile and tapped Xu Jingning's forehead: "What nonsense! My sister treated you so well, how could I forget you?"
"Oh, I bought a lot of souvenirs for you! I just didn't expect to meet you here by chance! I was planning to bring them to you when I returned home!"
Weekend was chattering with Xu Jingning about her honeymoon experience. Zhang Siyan came up to her and put his arm around Yan Xun's shoulder, joking, "Hey, what do you feel?"
Yan Xun glanced at him calmly: "I should be asking you this question, right? How was your honeymoon?"
Zhang Siyan raised his eyebrows: "Hey, that's not the case. I've been on vacation all the time, so of course I'm a lot more relaxed than you workaholics."
"I am immersed in the land of tenderness every day. Tsk tsk, needless to say, I am so happy."
Zhang Siyan's words were a heavy blow, and Yan Xun simply kept his mouth shut.
When the two people over there had almost finished chatting, they just pulled away one by one. Weekend looked at Zhang Siyan with some dissatisfaction. Yan Xun finally acted like a man and helped his good brother out: "Ningning hasn't eaten since leaving the award ceremony. Let's go eat first."
When it came to the popular Xu Jingning, Weekendmoney immediately understood and walked into the crowd while holding Xu Jingning's arm affectionately.
The bonfire parties here are a local custom. Now that spring has just arrived, everyone will celebrate the arrival of the new season together, which is equivalent to a family gathering, but they also welcome strangers, especially families and couples.
They are also happy to bring together couples who have feelings for each other but have not expressed it. Even standing outside the crowd, Xu Jingning could feel the enthusiasm of these strangers.
Everyone brought up food enthusiastically, mostly meat, but the taste was very light, followed by some fruits. Xu Jingning accepted everyone's gifts while thanking them. Then a few girls came up with red faces and boldly asked Xu Jingning if he was interested in finding a partner.
Xu Jingning smiled and raised her left hand to show them her ring: "Thank you, I already have a lover."
The girls were also very understanding and gave their sincere blessings as they left.
"Oh, it turns out that no matter where we are, our Ningning is very popular."
Weekend poked Yan Xun's arm with a wink. Yan Xun saw the whole process. He chuckled helplessly, "Yeah, I really want everyone to know that he has a boyfriend."
However, due to the nature of their work, the two have kept it a secret. It’s not that they can’t make it public, but both of them feel it’s unnecessary.
Just like this, Xu Jingning would dissuade those suitors in an appropriate way, and sometimes Yan Xun didn't even have time to feel jealous.
Moreover, in such private situations, he would also take the initiative to wear the ring without covering it up.
Thinking of this, Yan Xun stepped forward and held Xu Jingning's left hand amid the friendly laughter of the crowd: "Do you want to go to the beach?"
Xu Jingning raised an eyebrow, and just when she felt that the food in her mouth had faded, she accepted Yan Xun's invitation: "Okay."
The two walked away from the campfire, but not too far. They just walked along the coastline, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The sky was pitch black, and even the stars could not be seen. On one side was the quiet sound of the waves, and on the other side was the cheering crowd.
Xu Jingning took the initiative to hold Yan Xun's hand and sighed: "Sister Zhou Zhou told me that the honeymoon was very tiring."
"Um?"
“I didn’t think too much about it when I first made the plan, but it wasn’t until I started running from place to place that I realized I didn’t have enough energy.”
He smiled and said, "Sister Zhou Zhou suggested that I just pick a place and have fun."
Yan Xun understood what he meant and laughed out loud: "Well, is there anywhere you want to go?"
"Ah, that's a lot. There are too many places I want to go... I can't even count them all. Maybe there will be more after a while." Xu Jingning raised his head and looked at Yan Xun, "But I think we will have plenty of time to travel around in the future. There's no need to travel all at once, right?"
"Well, you're right, choose the place you most want to go first."
Seeing Xu Jingning thoughtfully, with slightly furrowed eyebrows showing some entanglement, Yan Xun coaxed: "Don't worry, you can think about it slowly."
The two walked along the coastline until they reached a place where there was almost no one, then turned around and went back.
The coastline became longer and the sound of waves became clearer. Xu Jingning bent down, picked up a shell and put it in Yan Xun's hand.
"I've made up my mind, let's go to the beach."
"Anywhere, as long as it's by the sea."
This plan was somewhat vague, but Yan Xun knew that Xu Jingning didn't want to go to a specific place. He just felt like going there on a whim, and the current atmosphere was just right.
So, when the two of them could see the bustling crowd, at the junction of blue and red, Yan Xun suddenly held his hand, knelt on one knee, and kissed him devoutly.
"Mr. Xu Jingning, are you willing to marry me and build a family of our own?"
It was late at night, and the voices of people laughing blended with the mist in the air. It seemed that no one was watching the two of them, and no one was congratulating them, yet it was as if thousands of people were watching them. There was no emcee, no family, just the two of them.
But there was a smile in Xu Jingning's eyes.
He took off his ring and handed it to Yan Xun: "Show your sincerity."
Yan Xun did as he was told and also handed his ring to Xu Jingning, watching Xu Jingning put it on him with a focused gaze.
Then he stood up and they kissed.
Later, some people posted the photo of the two kissing on a foreign island on the Internet in China, which aroused reactions from netizens. Many people shouted that they were drugged, but the two people did not respond to this, resulting in netizens not daring to make a big fuss. The most important thing was that no matter how much they asked, the two would not come out to answer.
So everyone quickly died down.
[Oh my god? Are they really Yan Xun and Xu Jingning? ]
[According to the news, it is indeed credible, because although Xu Jingning went to receive the award, someone photographed Yan Xun being there the whole time]
[Wuwuwuwuwuwu, this is the first time I've really been into CP support, are you two really not going to come out and respond?! ]
[Some gossips, the two of them are re-holding their wedding recently, but they only invited some very close friends. As for why they are re-holding it... it's because they had obtained the marriage certificate a long time ago]
Everyone noticed that no one seemed surprised or weird about Yan Xun and Xu Jingning being together.
It's like they're supposed to be together.
In the past few years, Yan Xun began to disappear from the screen because he moved behind the scenes, but the position he left in the hearts of the people is indelible. As a new movie emperor, Xu Jingning has also been recognized by everyone step by step with his strength.
Obviously, the two of them rarely appear in the same frame, but Xu Jingning is very serious about avoiding suspicion with other actors or partners.
People who like them come one after another, and it seems like they are always changing, but at this time, in fact no one leaves.
One fan even sent his blessing: When I first got into the show, I thought I had found a perfect couple, but the longer I was with them, the more I could feel from them that Xun Ning brought me not only positive values and attitude towards life, but more importantly, they showed me what a healthy love should look like.
Wish them long and long life.
