Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Three Golden Awards

The exposed video is more than ten seconds long, accompanied by the chirping of insects and sporadic noises, but the words "I love you" are extremely clear against the extremely noisy background.

Xia Nuan covered her face and took a deep breath. "Brother Lin, we're both wearing the costumes from the show. We can just say during the PR that it's a rehearsal."

Lin Dayong frowned and clicked on the video to watch it again. In this video, both of them were indeed in costumes, but there were no staff around. However, it could be said that they were acting together.

Lin Dayong: "Don't post anything on Weibo yet. Wait until we've finished editing it before posting. I've just spoken with Ji Mian, and he said he unconditionally agrees with our proposal."

"By the way, it turns out you also had a scandal with this guy."

Xia Nuan nodded slightly.

Lin Dayong snorted and pulled the corner of his mouth, "No wonder the online reaction this time is so big."

Xia Nuan: "Sorry to bother Brother Lin."

The next day, Xia Nuan and Ji Mian each issued a clarification on Weibo, explaining the incident as a scripted reversal. However, this clarification failed to satisfy the excited netizens. Instead, all of Xia Nuan's past relationships were resurfaced, including those with Ye Li, Lou Su, Mo Zhuyuan, and Bo Wenjue.

[There's one more person I forgot to mention, He Jian. Although he's a minor figure, the way he looked at Xia Nuan was far from innocent.]

[Xia Nuan is a story that needs to be told as each film is shot? Hmm, I don't know how to put it...]

[Except Lou Su and Ye Li, the others are just rumors. Xia Nuan has clarified them. These marketing accounts are really interesting.]

[Anyway, I only see these men like Xia Nuan. Xia Nuan has always been very sensible, right?]

[A fly won't bite an egg without a crack. If Xia Nuan hadn't expressed that meaning, would there have been so many scandals?]

[Some people are sick, aren't they? Being liked is wrong. Can't you open your eyes and see that Xia Nuan is the one who gets scolded the most?]

[Although her acting is very good and she has been popular with the audience in the past two years, she also has a lot of haters, after all, she announced her relationship with Lou Su when she was still a member of the show.]

The internet really has no memory. Lou Su was exposed for such a huge scandal back then. If it weren't for him and Xia Nuan being in a relationship, who knows how things would have turned out.

[Don’t you envy Xia Nuan? Whether she’s dating or has been rumored to have a boyfriend, they’re all handsome guys.]

[With Xia Nuan's face, I'm not surprised anyone likes her]

[Xia Nuan is alone and happy, focusing on her career is the most important thing. Judging from her attitude, she has no intention of falling in love at all.]

Xia Nuan returned to the company. It was lunchtime.

The two employees of the company must have just come back from outside after lunch, and Xia Nuan followed them in.

The two men didn't notice Xia Nuan coming back and were chatting gossip in low voices.

"Yesterday, I passed by Lou Su, and his phone was playing the love confession video of Xia Nuan and Ji Mian. His face suddenly turned dark."

"No way, they've been apart for almost three years, how could Brother Lou still like her so much?"

"Anyway, Lou Su definitely cares deeply about her. Let me tell you, wasn't there a movie where Lou Su was offered the leading role? It was a pretty big production, and you know why he turned it down?"

"Because Xia Nuan doesn't want to be the female lead."

"real?"

"Really? I heard it myself."

Xia Nuan's eyes widened. How could she not know about this?

The two employees who were chatting caught a glimpse of Xia Nuan out of the corner of their eyes when they turned around. The one who was talking froze instantly and ran away grabbing the other one.

Xia Nuan walked to Lin Dayong's office and knocked on the door.

"Brother Lin, can I ask you something?"

Lin Dayong yawned, then nodded. "Go ahead, I'll tell you if I know."

Xia Nuan: "Lou Su wanted to act in a movie with me?"

Lin Dayong stretched halfway and froze in mid-air, "You know about this."

Lin Dayong told her about Lou Su's original thoughts and how he had taken the initiative to reject Xia Nuan. "Xiao Xia, it was indeed my own decision not to tell you about this matter. The main reason was that I felt that you were not as famous as Lou Su at the time, so it was really not suitable for you to work with him. It would not be good for you—"

Xia Nuan knew that Lin Dayong and Lou Su had a closer relationship than hers, but as an agent, Lin Dayong never did anything to her disadvantage because of this close relationship.

Xia Nuan: "Brother Lin, I know, thank you!"

Lin Dayong's lips curled up slightly, and his heart warmed. "By the way, your sister-in-law wants your autograph. She gave me ten photos and insisted that I ask you to sign them for her."

Xia Nuan: "That's nothing. I'll have to sign for my sister-in-law even if it's a hundred, not to mention ten."

Lin Dayong opened the drawer and handed the photo and pen to Xia Nuan.

Xia Nuan signed while listening to Lin Dayong speak.

"Su Yuzhou's new movie is a female-led drama. Don't worry, there will definitely be many actresses vying for the role. Although Su Yuzhou has never hired the same actress as the leading actress before, don't worry. Who am I, Lin Dayong? I will definitely use all my connections to help you get this role."

Xia Nuan paused while writing. She had known about this a few days ago. When the scandal between her and Ji Mian was spreading like wildfire, Su Yuzhou suddenly sent her a WeChat message, asking her to go for an audition.

She saw the message several hours later. After she replied, Su Yuzhou did not reply again.

Xia Nuan told Lin Dayong about this and received a look of shock and disbelief from him.

"Xiao Xia, Xia Nuan, why didn't you tell me about this? I only found out this morning! Considering Su Yuzhou's confidentiality efforts, I should be one of the first to know."

Lin Dayong opened his eyes wide and stared at Xia Nuan, "He didn't reply to you. Didn't you contact him or call him?"

“I called, but no one answered.”

Lin Dayong was very disappointed. "It's just a few years old. You should have told me about this a few days ago."

Xia Nuan laughed and looked around, "Brother Lin, the decoration of your house is quite nice. I think you changed the curtains recently."

Lin Dayong took a deep breath and exhaled forcefully. He wanted to smile, but he couldn't pull up the corners of his mouth.

Lin Dayong suddenly realized that something was wrong and asked hurriedly, "Wait, when did Su Yuzhou send you the message?"

Xia Nuan: "It was about five days ago, the day the paparazzi exposed the news about Lou Su and me."

Lin Dayong cautiously leaned forward and said, "Tell me, does Su Yuzhou like you too?"

Now it was Xia Nuan's turn to be shocked. "Brother Lin, what's your train of thought? How could Director Su possibly like me?"

Xia Nuan thought for a moment and continued, "I guess it was because I was online those few days, and he saw my name and thought of me again. It just so happens that my acting skills are pretty good now, so he asked me to audition."

Lin Dayong narrowed his eyes and subconsciously denied Xia Nuan's answer. The timing was too ambiguous. Why didn't she send it earlier or later, but at that time?

Xia Nuan pointed to her phone and said, "Now that the news of his new movie has come out, do you want to give him another call?"

Lin Dayong glanced at the time. It was 2:20 in the afternoon. "Let's wait until 3 o'clock. What if Su Yuzhou is taking a nap now?"

Lin Dayong: "What's your number?"

Xia Nuan didn't understand what Lin Dayong meant, and her eyes were full of confusion.

"Is this a personal call or a work call?"

Xia Nuan shook her head. "I don't know about that either. Anyway, I only have one call from Director Su."

Lin Dayong took the phone book and compared it with Xia Nu's phone number. Su Yuzhou had three phone numbers publicly announced, two of which belonged to his assistants and one was himself.

Lin Dayong raised his eyebrows, but these three calls did not match Xia Nuan's.

At three o'clock, Xia Nuan called Su Yuzhou.

There were a few beeps, and the phone ringtone was a song. It rang for about ten seconds and then the call was connected.

"Xia Nuan?"

Xia Nuan glanced at Lin Dayong and turned on the speaker.

"Yes, it's me. Hello, Director Su. I'm really sorry for not replying to your message in time last time. Maybe you were busy later, so I couldn't get through to you. That audition you mentioned earlier—"

Su Yuzhou: "The day after tomorrow at nine in the morning, Jinlin Media, the same place."

The phone was hung up. Xia Nuan looked at the phone, then looked up at Lin Dayong, and they looked at each other in surprise.

On the morning of the third day, 8:40.

Xia Nuan took the elevator to the 39th floor, Jinlin Media Studio.

The staff member with the work badge at the door led Xia Nuan into a room.

There were eight or nine actresses inside. Are there so many people auditioning? Xia Nuan blinked. It was only eight forty-five, so more people should be here soon. Sure enough, before nine o'clock, some more people arrived.

Xia Nuan counted and found that there were fifteen people sitting in the room. There were seniors who had been famous for a long time, as well as young stars who were just starting to make a name for themselves. Xia Nuan knew some of them and didn't know some of them, but they all looked about the same age as her.

Xia Nuan was the tenth person to enter. Among the actors who auditioned before, each one stayed for about fifteen minutes, but only one person stayed in for more than twenty minutes. When he came out, his eyes were still red.

Xia Nuan's hand holding the number plate trembled slightly.

Around half past ten, it was Xia Nuan's turn.

There were three people sitting inside. In the middle was Su Yuzhou. The person next to him was a well-known screenwriter. Xia Nuan didn't recognize the other person, but judging by the name tag on the table, he looked like a producer. A few people stood behind him, including the cameraman.

It took Xia Nuan only fifteen minutes from the time she learned the performance topic to the time she walked out of the audition room.

Lin Dayong saw Xia Nuan: "What do you think?"

Xia Nuan shook her head, "I don't think it will work."

Lin Dayong patted Xia Nuan on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. This movie is gone, but we still have other movies. Didn't I tell you last time..."

Three days later, Lin Dayong suddenly received a notice. He was overjoyed and immediately called Xia Nuan, "Xiao Xia, the leading female role in Su Yuzhou's movie is yours!"

Shortly after signing the contract, the news that Xia Nuan would play the leading female role in Su Yuzhou's new movie "The Past Is Like Smoke" was revealed, and the list of actresses who had participated in the audition was announced.

Many people started arguing online because their idols were not selected, and took the opportunity to put down Xia Nuan and support others.

Some marketing accounts and unscrupulous media outlets published articles saying that Xia Nuan would once again play the leading female role in Su Yuzhou's movie. Su Yuzhou's movies have always been a big deal in the circle, but the role fell to Xia Nuan twice, breaking Su Yuzhou's previous practice. Is there any improper dealings between the two?

This hot search was not bought by any company.

Lin Dayong's eyes grew more serious as he watched the trending search, which had risen several places in a short while. Xia Nuan was the beneficiary, so no matter what the reason, she couldn't speak.

But what Lin Dayong didn't expect was that Su Yuzhou actually posted the video of Xia Nuan and other actresses auditioning, with the caption: Open your eyes and look.

Fifteen actresses all performed the same limited theme. The one who took the longest time was dissatisfied with her first performance and begged the director for a second chance, only to be scolded by Su Yuzhou without using any curse words.

When Xia Nuan said that she might not be selected, it was not out of modesty, but out of sincerity. So when Lin Dayong saw these marketing accounts at that time, he actually felt a little uncertain in his heart. Why did Su Yuzhou choose Xia Nuan?

Although Xia Nuan has good acting skills, Lin Dayong has always heard people in the circle say that Xia Nuan has good acting skills, but he himself is not sure to what extent.

But after seeing these contrasting audition clips, Lin Dayong realized how wrong his original thinking was.

Xiaoxia, you are so amazing.

Xia Nuan saw the Weibo post by Su Yuzhou and sent him a WeChat message: Thank you, director. I will not let you down and will definitely act well.

Su Yuzhou replied: Yeah.

Three months after the incident, the movie "Drug War" in which Xia Nuan had participated was released.

Xia Nuan plays a female drug lord, and although she doesn't have many scenes, she has become the most discussed topic besides the main plot. The look in her eyes at the press conference of "She Wants to Be Promoted" last year has been brought up again by netizens.

[When I first watched the video of the TV series press conference, I later realized that it was because Xia Nuan hadn't finished the role yet, but I just felt that Xia Nuan was very imposing. But after watching the movie today, I suddenly understood why the reporters were afraid.]

[Ahhh, looks really can kill, physically]

[Xia Nuan seems to be an experiential person. I remember she said that it was difficult for her to get out of the role at first. So, do you think the love stories she played back then really moved you?]

"Drug War" was released not long ago.

The nominations for the Bailan Awards have been announced. "She Wants to Go," as the most popular TV series last year, has received multiple nominations.

There were many high-quality TV series nominated at the same time. Not many people bet on "She Wants to Go", but unexpectedly, two very important awards of the Bailan Awards were given to this TV series at the same time. "She Wants to Go" won the Best Chinese TV Series, and Xia Nuan became the Bailan Best Actress.

The winner of this year's Bai Lan Award for Best Actor was Ji Mian.

Now that "Light Boat Crossing" is online, Xia Nuan naturally has to join forces with Ji Mian to promote it.

At the beginning of the press conference, the distance between Xia Nuan and Ji Mian was wide enough for two people to stand, but by the end of the press conference, Ji Mian and Xia Nuan were almost standing together.

In the green room, Ji Mian knocked on Xia Nuan's door. "Can you come in?"

"Come in." Xia Nuan pursed her lips nervously and stood up immediately.

Ji Mian looked at Xia Nuan with a smile, "I went to the Gobi Desert to film a movie a while ago. I haven't seen you for a long time."

Xia Nuan avoided his gaze: "I haven't congratulated you on winning the Best Actor award for your TV series yet."

Ji Mian looked at Xia Nuan with her eyes lowered, not looking at him. He blinked, knelt down on one knee, and looked into Xia Nuan's eyes. "I'm sorry about what happened last time, Xia Nuan, I'm sorry."

Xia Nuan was startled. She took a few steps back and fell onto the sofa.

She puffed her lips, looking at Ji Mian, who was smiling, and felt more and more awkward. "You've said it many times. Besides, it's not your fault. It's the crew who were bribed. Oh, you've talked about this so much that my ears are almost callused. If you are really sorry, don't look at me like that. Also, can you please stand up? Why are you in that posture?"

Ji Mian spread his hands, looking innocent, "But since you didn't look at me, I had no choice but to squat down."

Xia Nuan pursed her lips. When did this guy become so slick? "Get up, I think you can handle it."

Ji Mian smiled, stood up, and took out a small box from his suit. "This is for you."

Xia Nuan looked at the box and then at Ji Mian, without moving.

Ji Mian stuffed something into her arms and said, "Open it and take a look."

"This is?"

"I found this Hetian jade. I remember you said it would get cold easily, so I could carry it with me."

Xia Nuan: "I don't—"

Ji Mian covered his ears and said, "Don't say you don't want to accept it. I'm not giving it to you alone. It would be so bad if you don't accept it. I've brought gifts to many people." It's just that yours is the only one I chose.

Ji Mian walked to the door and said, "Also, I like you. This hasn't changed. My liking you is my business. You can't stop treating me as a friend just because I like you."

Ji Mian waved his hand and said, "See you next time. I'm leaving now."

Xia Nuan looked at the valuable gift in her hand. Should she return the gift? Xia Nuan rubbed her forehead and thought to herself that she must return the gift to that guy.

After the promotion, Xia Nuan returned to the crew of "The Past Is Like Smoke" to film.

This movie is about a woman whose husband is murdered and the real murderer is nowhere to be found. The wife has spent more than ten years searching for the truth, only to discover that the murderer is actually herself. Xia Nuan plays the heroine with a dual personality.

The film was shot over a two-month period.

Xia Nuan finished filming in the morning. Su Yuzhou looked at Xia Nuan surrounded by the crowd, shrugged his shoulders relaxedly and smiled lightly.

Xia Nuan filmed two more movies after that.

Afterwards, she was interviewed by "A Date with You", a live interview program hosted by Ren Yijia.

Ren Yijia: "You're almost thirty?"

Xia Nuan nodded calmly, "Yes, I will be thirty in another month."

Ren Yijia didn't laugh. "Many actors haven't found the right direction for their future development by the time they're thirty, but you've already won the Silver Rooster and Silver Horse awards. Your path to becoming an actor has been much smoother than others. You're very lucky."

Xia Nuan: "I am indeed lucky. I have met many people who have given me a lot of help. Without them, I would not be where I am today."

······

Ren Yijia raised an eyebrow. "Do you still miss your ex-boyfriend? If you hadn't been dating Lou Su, you might still be an unknown actor."

[Ren Yijia is so brave]

Xia Nuan glanced at her. Although she had heard that this host was very straightforward and had a unique interview style, which made the show effective, she was still unhappy after experiencing it herself today.

Xia Nuan curled the corners of her mouth: "You are wrong."

Ren Yijia looked at her aggressively: "Do you think you can achieve what you have now without the fame brought to you by being Lou Su's ex-girlfriend?"

[Ren Yijia's tone is so annoying]

Xia Nuan shook her head and casually said something she had never told anyone before, "I mean, if I hadn't met Lou Su, I might have quit the entertainment industry."

Ren Yijia changed his posture and crossed his legs: "I've never heard you mention this before."

Xia Nuan smiled and said, "If you want to know, I'm very grateful to him."

[Is it possible for my downstairs couple to reconcile?]

Ren Yijia smiled, then looked into Xia Nuan's eyes. "Aside from your college romance, which we already know about, and your relationship with Lou Su, you haven't publicly announced any relationships. But during this time, you've been involved in numerous scandals, involving almost every male star you've acted with. Are these rumors true?"

[I've been saying this so many times, Ren Yijia, you're truly brave.]

Some of these scandals were deliberately spread by male celebrities in order to gain fame and hype, and some were spread by rivals to throw dirty water on Xia Nuan.

Xia Nuan raised an eyebrow: "If I say it's fake, will everyone believe it? My answer can't change other people's opinions. So, you can think whatever you want."

[The questions Ren Yijia asked were all the ones I wanted to know, but Xia Nuan was so quick to respond that she seemed to answer them, but in reality, she didn't answer them. Ren Yijia didn't really provoke Xia Nuan to speak her mind.]

[Xia Nuan didn't give a direct answer, does that mean there's some truth in it?]

[To be honest, I really admire Xia Nuan. She didn't even show any displeasure at these questions.]

[Xia Nuan has already won two Best Actress awards and one Best Actress award, so her acting skills must be top-notch.]

Ren Yijia: "So, are there any of these rumored targets who are your ideal type? Or can you tell me what your ideal type is like?"

Xia Nuan: "I don't have a fixed ideal type, I just go with the flow."

Ren Yijia smiled and said, "You're almost thirty, do you have any plans for dating or getting married?"

What's wrong with you being thirty? Does being thirty mean you have to fall in love and get married?

Xia Nuan: "Let it be. If I were to fall in love, I wouldn't hide it. I don't like hiding things. But for now, my priority is my career."

[Yes, our Nuan is a career-oriented woman]

[Wow, why hasn’t Nuan participated in variety shows in the past two or three years? Although career is important, she also needs to entertain herself.]

[Before, it is your body and mind that are entertained]

That winter, at the Silver Horse Awards ceremony, Xia Nuan and Su Yuzhou sat in the middle of the first row.

This film made Xia Nuan a Best Actress once again, and Su Yuzhou also won the Best Director Award for this film. The photo of the two high-spirited people smiling at each other while holding their trophies at the film awards ceremony became the most popular photo of that year's Silver Horse Awards.

The host that night said, "Su Yuzhou is Xia Nuan's mentor, and Xia Nuan has lived up to Su Yuzhou's expectations of her." It was also after that night that a group of people began to ship the famous director x famous actor couple.

That photo that went viral has also become the most popular photo of this unpopular couple: it is excitement, tears, ambition and you.

At the age of 30, Xia Nuan won the Silver Image Award, becoming the second actress in China to win three major awards.

Push the pre-collection, please collect it QAQ

★ "The female general planned to farm after becoming a concubine"

Shen Zhixiao disguised herself as a man and served in the army for more than ten years. At the age of 32, she had already made great military achievements for Daliang.

At that time, Your Majesty was the least favored prince of the late emperor.

The two met when they were teenagers and grew up from decline to glory.

War broke out again on the border, and Shen Zhixiao volunteered to join the army, but was rejected by His Majesty.

But she just slept for a while and went back to fifteen years ago, and became a concubine who committed suicide.

Then the letter of request for battle that she wrote all night until she was almost blinded would become a piece of waste paper.

But this isn’t the only bad thing:

The mother of this body has long forgotten it, and the father doesn't care about it.

Her brothers and sisters at home only mocked her and had no affection for her.

And the mistress was even more hateful, as she promised her daughter to an old man who was over 40 years old as his second wife.

But she was only thirteen years old. Shen Zhixiao was so angry that he was shaking all over. Damn it.

Even after becoming emperor, Ji Fangchen didn't dare to treat her like this.

Shen Zhixiao fully understood that the wealthy and powerful families were indeed full of intrigue and could not bring peace of mind.

But her current body was too weak, so Shen Zhixiao had to train slowly.

After recovering from her old injuries, she climbed over the wall with her money and left, turning the Shen Mansion upside down.

Shen Zhixiao returns to her old ways, disguising herself as a man and traveling around the country, intending to do everything she wanted to do but couldn't in her previous life.

But who knew that life would take a turn. She had avoided him, but how could she meet that guy Ji Fangchen again?

Eight years later, we meet again in the capital.

Everyone thinks that Shen Lang is handsome, but they don’t know that Shen Niang is depressed.

From an unknown child to a general feared by the enemy, from being underestimated to being fanatically worshipped.

Shen Zhixiao took eight years this time.

★《Becoming the Rebellious Male Protagonist’s Wife》Please add this to your collection QAQ

In his previous life, Shen Yaoguang, who had worked hard to become the general manager of a company, was reborn into a 28-year-old girl waiting to be married in an ancient country gentry family after a car accident.

After getting to know the surroundings and learning that he had traveled through a book, Shen Yaoguang was completely quit.

The hero of the novel, the future emperor, Qin Yungang, who is currently a scholar, was chosen by her father.

Although he looks like a decent person and has a bright future now, he rebelled a year later.

Although she lives in troubled times, Shen Yaoguang, who is familiar with the plot, knows which places are holy places to escape from chaos. She just wants to lie down and live a peaceful life in this life. How can she be willing to marry an emperor who is bound to rebel and has a large number of concubines in the future?

But her father had set his sights on this son-in-law and she had no chance to resist.

——

On their wedding night, before the veil was lifted, Chen Yaoguang said to Qin Yun, "I know you had to marry me because of my father. Once this storm is over, we can get divorced."

A month passed, and they still hadn't divorced. Two months later, and they still hadn't divorced. Were all those promises we made so confidently back then just lies?

In the third month, Shen Yaoguang couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Shouldn't we get a divorce?"

Qin Yun's lips curled slightly, "What are you talking about, my lady? We are newly married, and I, your husband, cannot bear to hear the word divorce."

Bah, you bastard.

Chen Yaoguang had anticipated this situation and had taken her money and fled. She had been wandering around for half a year and had fallen in love with a neighbor boy, and they were about to discuss marriage.

Qin Yun led a group of people to occupy this place.

Chen Yaoguang disguised herself and planned to escape to another refuge, but was caught by Qin Yun at the city gate. "Madam, where are you going?"

——

There was chaos and war, conquest and plunder.

Later, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the emperor and empress ruled together, and were called the Two Saints.
