Chapter 54 Vanity Fair
It is not mandatory to attend the dinner after the awards ceremony, but most people choose to stay. It is an excellent social venue. After all, there are few opportunities to bring together so many directors, producers, screenwriters, etc.
This is the most flashy world of fame and fortune, where all kinds of desires and greed are hidden amidst the clinking of glasses. Perhaps a lot of cooperation will be negotiated tonight, or it may just be drunken talk at the bar, which will disappear like smoke when you wake up.
Shen Que's identity is very contradictory. He is a newcomer with almost no foundation in the circle, but he won the Golden Swallow Award for Best Actor. This strength should not be underestimated, but there are many such people in the circle. There are many shooting stars that shine for a moment, and only those who can persist for a long time can be considered successful.
Shen Que's qualifications were too shallow, and all Zhao Wen could borrow were ready-made clothes from third-tier luxury brands. But tonight, no one would look down on Shen Que even if he continued to wear his school uniform.
"The photographer at the studio hasn't been arranged yet, and I haven't prepared anything today. I'm wearing a school uniform when I receive the award, and it won't look good if I post it on Weibo later. Could you please take a few photos of Shen Que winning the award? Please see what your requirements are, and I'll do my best to complete them."
Zhao Wen flipped through her Weibo, and all she saw were photos of Shen Que in school uniform. Although the trophy was shining, it still looked a bit shabby in comparison. This was his first time winning the Best Actor award, so such a glorious moment had to be recorded.
"No problem, no need to go to great lengths, just take the photo in front of the French window. Shen Que's face is already eye-catching enough, so there's no need for a complicated background."
Xu Qingye agreed and started taking out equipment from his bag. He brought a trolley case with various shooting supplies in it. He asked Yi He and Cao Muan to hold the fill light, and he pulled Shen Que to start testing the light.
After taking a few pictures, Xu Qingye frowned and looked a little dissatisfied. He called Yi He and Cao Muan over to look at them together.
"It seems a bit ordinary and not fashionable enough."
Yi He pondered for a moment and felt that Chen Que's outfit today was somewhat ordinary. Although it was luxury ready-made clothing, it lacked some highlights.
"Take off your lining."
Xu Qingye thought for a while, then looked up at Chen Que. Chen Que was dressed quite conventionally, a white shirt with a black suit. Although he had a good-looking face, his outfit was a bit boring in the entertainment industry.
Shen Que didn't understand all this, but he listened to Xu Qingye very much. When Xu Qingye asked him to take off his clothes, he took them off openly.
Without the lining, Shen Que's beautiful muscle outline was revealed under the suit collar. Shen Que's skin was very white, and he looked quite impactful against the black suit. Xu Qingye looked at him for a while, then reached out and untied a necklace from Yi He's neck and put it on Shen Que.
"Hold the trophy, raise your head slightly and show your Adam's apple."
Xu Qingye directed Shen Que to perform the movements. He wore a vacuum suit, had his Adam's apple on his fingertips, and his profile was particularly favored by the light and shadow. His fashion sense instantly increased a lot.
Xu Qingye took several photos. Although he was not as good as a professional photographer, the quality of this set of photos was still very high.
After quickly editing the photos, Xu Qingye became more and more satisfied. Since he could no longer work on the marketing account, he switched to photography.
"After you finish here, we'll continue celebrating at home. Don't worry, I'll go back and set up the place first. You won't be able to eat enough for an occasion like this, so I'll prepare a midnight snack for you."
After taking the photos, Xu Qingye reached out to help Shen Que tidy up his clothes and urged him to enter quickly. He should participate in more occasions like this. He is in the limelight and there will be many directors and screenwriters who want to work with him. It's a good opportunity to see if there are any suitable projects.
Shen Que has just debuted and needs to appear more often.
"If I just put on some clothes and go out like this, I'd rather go home."
Chen Que picked up the shirt beside him and put it on again. He could take it off for taking pictures, but not for going out.
"Yeah, we can't let people see it in vain."
Xu Qingye nodded in agreement. Shen Que still had a strong sense of self-protection.
After leaving the venue, Xu Qingye continued to look at tonight's hot searches as soon as he got in the car. Tonight's hot searches were very exciting. There were female stars competing with each other for beauty, criticizing male stars' lackluster red carpet makeup, and serious discussions about various awards.
One of the topics is very hot.
#Li Tao, who is the biggest winner of this year's Golden Swallow Award? #
There are many answers to this topic, among which Lu Zhiwen and Shen Que's names were mentioned the most. Lu Zhiwen was nominated for two dramas, which brought him a Best Screenwriter Award, a Best Actress Award, and a Best Actor Award. Such dazzling achievements will probably not be surpassed by anyone even after several years.
Chen Que just entered the industry and won the honor of being the male lead in his first drama. It was an instant rise. If he can catch this wave of traffic, his future achievements will be immeasurable. If we talk about winners, Chen Que is definitely one of them.
As the discussion continued to unsuccessful as to who the biggest winner was, Xu Qingye joined the discussion and wrote a long essay.
He recorded some of Shen Que's performances in the crew in the tone of a staff member, carefully analyzed his various advantages, and gave examples to illustrate that Shen Que would not be popular for only a short time.
"The most important thing for an actor is his understanding of the role, and Shen Que has devoted a part of his life to the role, immersing himself in it. People always ask if Shen Que is a resourceful actor. If being fed by a great master counts as a resource, and if exceptional talent counts as a resource, then he is a resourceful actor with unmatched talent!"
Xu Qingye was typing away. He had just sent out his essay when Shen Que also updated his Weibo post.
Shen Que: Thank you for everything. [Photo]
Chen Que's Weibo post was very simple, and he said everything on the podium. That was the longest speech he had said recently.
As soon as Shen Que posted on Weibo, a large group of people gathered around.
Chen Que’s Little Eyelashes: Brother, have you forgotten @难以野? He was the one who took the photo.
I like a little bit: hollow suit, who knows what I want to see, slurp~~~
Reply to @沉的结果小眼眼, it's a moderate meme, it must have been filmed by a studio, so we should respect the fruits of others' labor.
Yunzhongque: Baby, you are awesome! I was hooked when I saw Su Siheng, and Gu Li made me so heartbroken that I couldn’t help crying during my second and third viewings.
Don’t know the taste of worry: the future is promising~
······
Shen Que put his phone away after posting on Weibo. There were already many people sitting in the banquet hall, and Shen Que only knew a few people from the crew. Lu Zhiwen saw him and pulled him to introduce people to him, starting with Su Wen, the heroine of his other drama.
Su Wen is also a talented actress. She won the Best Actress title right after her debut, but she became famous too early, and she was trapped in the title of Best Actress for a long time. Her role in "Good Men and Faithful Women" this time is a breakthrough, and also a farewell to past glory. After starting again, the world is even broader.
Su Wen and Shen Que clinked their glasses.
"I finished watching 'A Summer Named After You' and your acting was really good. I couldn't believe it was your first time filming. Sometimes talent is really something magical."
Su Wen couldn't help but sigh. She looked at Chen Que and suddenly remembered herself in the past. Her starting point was actually higher than Chen Que. She played the leading role in a movie right after she entered the industry, and then won the Best Actress award. She had good resources afterwards, but no movie could surpass the first one.
She was trapped by the glory brought by her first drama, which led to her being meticulous about the script and very strict about all the configurations. She would not accept any drama that could not meet her requirements. Over time, she was in a state of having no dramas to shoot.
Su Wen was worried that Shen Que would experience the same problems as herself. As a senior, she admired Shen Que very much, so she didn't want him to follow her old path.
"Enjoy the glory tonight, and forget about it after the celebration. Take the road ahead step by step steadily. Don't be complacent with what you have achieved today. Water doesn't compete for the lead, but for the flow. A moment of brilliance means nothing. Steady progress in the industry is the real thing. I hope to hear your name next year, the year after, and every year."
Su Wen said this seriously. She seldom talked about these things with others. She used to act like a movie queen and didn't have many friends in the circle. It was rare for her to meet someone she liked, so she couldn't help but say a few words.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will remember it."
Shen Que nodded and pondered over what Su Wen said. Luck was actually a very important reason for him to win the award this time. There were not many outstanding dramas this year, so he was able to stand out. But good luck will not always be there, so he will not rest on his laurels and enjoy the glory.
"You must remember what Queen Su said. It's all based on experience."
Lu Zhiwen echoed from the side, and Su Wen immediately glared at him, but then laughed, not caring at all about her scar being torn open. She had completely let it go.
Tonight, Shen Que added a lot of friends. He carefully wrote notes for them all. Over the night, the numbers in his circle of friends list increased a lot.
Shen Que usually doesn't drink, but he had to drink a few glasses in such an environment. He didn't know his alcohol tolerance, so he stopped when he felt a little drunk and would not drink again no matter how much others persuaded him.
It was almost dawn when the show ended. Zhao Wen sent him home. In the car, the alcohol started to take effect and Shen Que was a little dazed. Fortunately, he was a good drinker and did not make any noise or talk nonsense. He just sat there in a daze.
Biyun Villa, Shen Que's home.
Xu Qingye put all the decorations he had prepared in advance in place, poured the takeaway food into plates and arranged them, then waited for Shen Que to come back to celebrate together. Unfortunately, he didn't expect Shen Que to win such a big prize, so the banner he had made before could not be used.
"We're not familiar with Shen Que, so it's awkward to celebrate together, so we'll go back first."
After helping Xu Qingye finish the decoration, Yi He packed up his things and prepared to leave. Cao Muan, who was standing by, was about to say that he and Shen Que were quite familiar with each other, but before he could finish his words, Yi He pulled him back.
"Ah, yes, it will be awkward. Just celebrate."
Cao Muan didn't understand what was going on, but he still agreed with what Yi He said. Xu Qingye didn't force him. He just told them to be careful on the road before they left.
After the two of them went out, Cao Muan grabbed Yi He.
"Why are you leaving? Shen Que and I are quite familiar with each other, so it won't be awkward."
"Why are you so clueless? Do you have to be a light bulb? I've already said this. If you still don't understand, then don't do this job."
"Ah? Ah! Oh~~~"
After Yi He stopped talking, Cao Muan's brain froze for a moment, and she reacted belatedly. She said that something felt wrong, and it turned out to be here!
