Five days passed in the blink of an eye. It seemed that after the Chinese New Year, Ling Yingyue also started to get busy, so he was no longer seen on the crew. It’s better this way. Without him around, Ouyang Qianran feels more at ease.
However, Ouyang Qianran discovered that He Junjun seemed to have some problems. After the New Year, he seemed a little absent-minded. Just like today, Ouyang Qianran called him several times, but he still didn't respond. Finally, Lin Jiajia couldn't bear it anymore and pushed him, "Brother Jun, Brother Jun..."
"Ah?" He Junjun reacted and looked at Lin Jiajia with some confusion, "What's wrong?"
Lin Jiajia said helplessly: "The Second Young Master is calling you."
He Junjun turned his head and looked at Ouyang Qianran who was sitting two meters away from him. He realized that he had lost his composure just now and immediately apologized to Ouyang Qianran, "I'm sorry, Second Master. I was thinking about something just now and was a little distracted."
"I see you are not thinking about things, but about people, right?" Ouyang Qianran picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip leisurely.
He Junjun was a little surprised, "Second Master, how did you know?"
Ouyang Yi walked over and sat next to Ouyang Qianran, looking at He Junjun with a meaningful smile, "It's all written on your face. If you don't believe it, you can ask the person behind you."
When He Junjun turned around, he saw Lin Jiajia and Xiaomei nodded at the same time. It was really because He Junjun's expression was too obvious, and when Fan He was still in the crew, he often talked to He Junjun, so everyone could see that their relationship was unusual.
"Brother Jun, actually I've wanted to ask you this for a long time. What is your relationship with Mr. Ling's agent?" Xiaomei asked with a curious look on her face.
When He Junjun heard Xiaomei mention Fan He, his face turned ugly. "I have nothing to do with him, never before and never in the future." After that, without waiting for Xiaomei to say anything, his face darkened and he said to Ouyang Qianran, "Second Young Master, didn't you say before that you don't want to eat hot pot for lunch today? Then I'll go order lunch for you."
Looking at He Junjun who seemed to be trying to escape, Ouyang Yi touched his chin and said, "Uncle, your agent seems to have had a very bloody experience. He is just too stingy. Just speak out your unhappiness and make us happy!"
Ouyang Qianran rolled his eyes at Ouyang Yi and said, "Can you please say something serious?"
Ouyang Yi spread his hands, "Okay, let's talk about something serious. Uncle, the Hundred Flowers Awards will be held next month. I heard that Jianghu was nominated for three awards. Can you guess which three they are?"
Ouyang Qianran looked at Ouyang Yi with a squint, "You are well-informed."
Ouyang Yi patted his chest and said, "That's right, uncle, don't forget that I also starred in a movie. Unfortunately, I didn't win the Best Actor Award at the Huaying Film Awards. This time, I'm putting my hopes on the Hundred Flowers Awards. Of course, I have to be well-informed about this news. How about I tell you in advance? Is there a surprise?"
Seeing Ouyang Yi's sly smile, Ouyang Qianran turned his face away and said, "Not interested."
"Hey, uncle, why are you not interested anymore? There really is a surprise, a surprise." Ouyang Yi was smiling at first, but when he saw Ouyang Qianran, he realized that he didn't care? I didn't fall for it and immediately became anxious.
"It has nothing to do with me." Ouyang Qianran said indifferently.
"How come it doesn't matter? Uncle, you have been nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Award..." After blurting out this, Ouyang Yi was stunned.
Ouyang Qianran nodded as if suddenly enlightened, "Turns out it's the Best Supporting Actor..." Then he looked at Ouyang Yi with a smile.
Xiaomei and Lin Jiajia who were standing by couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh. The second young master was so mean that he actually set a trap for Ouyang Yi. And Ouyang Yi really foolishly jumped in, but, the second young master was actually nominated for the Best Supporting Actor? That is really cause for celebration. Although given Ouyang Qianran's qualifications, the chances of him winning the award are extremely slim, Xiaomei and Lin Jiajia couldn't help but feel happy for Ouyang Qianran. Being nominated is also a form of recognition.
Ouyang Yi finally reacted and screamed, "Uncle, you actually blew me up, that's too treacherous. No, uncle, you must compensate me. I want to eat lobster for lunch, Australian lobster."
"No problem." Ouyang Qianran immediately called He Junjun and said, "I've ordered lobster for you. Next, can you finish what you're saying?"
With the lobster, Ouyang Yi became more energetic, and felt that his wounded heart was finally soothed. "In addition to you, the best supporting actor, the nominees for Jianghu also include Liang Jianwen's best actor and director Wu's best director, three heavyweight awards. However, to be honest, you guys are too lucky. The big Lunar New Year films that are still in theaters recently are not eligible for the selection due to schedule reasons, so your chances of winning are greatly increased."
"They are all going for the Huaying Awards and other Asian film awards. Of course, they don't care about the Hundred Flowers Awards." Ouyang Qianran saw clearly that although the Hundred Flowers Awards was considered a major film award in China, it was still incomparable to the Huaying Awards. And it was even more incomparable when compared with those Asian film awards.
"That's true." Ouyang Yi nodded in agreement.
"Congratulations, Second Master." Xiaomei congratulated with a smile.
"Second Young Master, congratulations." Lin Jiajia was also happy for Ouyang Qianran.
"I'm just a runner-up." In fact, Ouyang Qianran was also happy. He also knew that his chances of winning the prize were very small, and most of the time he would just be a runner-up. But this is his first award nomination after all, so it means more. So Ouyang Qianran will definitely be there at that time.
"Light and Dark" has finally come to an end. After all the scenes were filmed, Ouyang Qianran breathed a sigh of relief. However, he has been busy with other things recently. First, he will participate in the Hundred Flowers Awards, and then he will go to Country M. After coming back, he will report to the crew of "Jiang Hu 2". In the meantime, I have to start the promotional activities for "Light and Dark", so I work non-stop.
After finishing the filming with great difficulty, they could finally take a day or two off. Ouyang Qianran slept in at home. Ouyang Yi was even more exaggerated than Ouyang Qianran. He slept until noon, and after lunch, he continued to sleep. When it was time for dinner in the evening, he still looked drowsy, as if he hadn't slept for thousands of years.
In the evening, Ouyang Qianxiong and Zhao Yun had a banquet, so only Ouyang Qianran and Ouyang Yi were eating at home. Just after finishing dinner, Ouyang Yi suddenly remembered something and rushed to the living room, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV. "Uncle, come quickly. This year's Finos Awards has been advanced. According to the time of the United States, it should be broadcast live now."
"Finos?" By the way, some time ago, it was said that due to some special reasons, Finos held the award ceremony in advance. That is the highest level international film award and also Ouyang Qianran’s goal for the past ten years.
"Yes, I heard that Actor Ling has been nominated for Best Actor again. If you ask me, Actor Ling has won so many awards in the past few years, who can beat him? No wonder Actor Ling seems to be planning to switch careers and become a director. As an actor, he has already reached the top of the world, and there is really nothing for him to work hard for." Ouyang Yi sighed.
Ouyang Qianran did not reply, but just watched quietly. The award ceremony has just begun. At the beginning, there are some small awards. Although they are small awards, it is a great honor to win an award in "Finos". Enough bragging rights.
The Best Actress award was given to an actress from Country F. That actress is already 40 years old this year. At the age of 40, she won the award she had always dreamed of. She was very excited and tears kept coming out of her eyes. She cried while giving her acceptance speech. This is the most glorious moment for an actor, so no one would laugh at the actress's gaffe, because no one can guarantee that they would not cry if they were standing on that stage.
Finally, after the actress from Country F walked off the stage kissing the trophy and crying, the Best Actor award was presented.
There were eight actors nominated, but when the host asked everyone to guess who the final winner was, everyone in the audience shouted in unison, "Ling Yingyue... Ling Yingyue..."
"That's right, the winner is the previous International Film Emperor, an actor from China, Ling Yingyue..."
The moment the host's voice fell, applause broke out. Everyone seemed to have expected it, and the expression on Ling Yingyue's face was also calm.
After Ling Yingluo finished his acceptance speech, according to his previous practice, he would not say anything more, but this time, he made an exception.
Ling Yingluo glanced at the little golden man in his hand, then his dark eyes swept across the familiar faces in the audience, and his deep voice echoed throughout the award ceremony venue.
"Including this trophy, this is my fifth Best Actor trophy at Finos. At first, the first time, I was excited to win the award. The second time, I was also excited. The third and fourth times, I was used to it. But the fifth time, I suddenly felt lonely. After winning this award this year, my biggest wish is that someone can take this trophy from me next time."
"Pa pa pa..." There was deafening applause from the audience. If someone else said this, everyone would think that person was too arrogant and presumptuous. But this person is Ling Yingluo, the winner of the Finos Best Actor Award for five consecutive years. He does have the capital and qualifications to say this. Everyone understands why he said that. Indeed, he has been in the number one position for too long. Without an opponent to fight against, he can only stay where he is. So he hopes that someone can defeat him, so that he can have the motivation and goal to move forward again.
This is also what Ling Yingluo wanted to express, the master is lonely and is just waiting for the opponent to fight.
"Oh, I think Actor Ling will be disappointed. He will still be the next Actor. Unless he retires from the entertainment industry, no one will be able to surpass him and take the Actor trophy from him." Ouyang Yi sighed.
Looking at the stern face on TV, Ouyang Qianran's eyes lit up with fire, "No one? Maybe not. Maybe, someone will appear soon."
He wants to defeat this man, this proud man. Ouyang Qianran wants to step onto the podium and snatch the trophy from Ling Yingluo. It has nothing to do with the mission, but is his heartfelt hope. By then, the scene will definitely be very beautiful.
