Chapter 42 Awards There will be many people in this world who love you...
Su Qiuling's perfume brand launched a new series and chose Yu You as the spokesperson, so Yu You naturally agreed.
On the day of shooting the promotional advertisement, Jiang Xunzhou had just finished a meeting with a cooperative client early, and since he was on his way, he went to see Yu You's shooting site.
The staff in the studio were busy, and the bright lights were aimed at the wide snow-white curtain.
Yu You closed his eyes and lay back in a bathtub filled with roses. He was only wearing a bathrobe with the collar slightly loose. His posture was lazy and casual, and his slender, beautiful fingers gently rested on the lavender perfume bottle on his collarbone.
As the camera moves forward, the long eyelashes of the young man who looks like a flower god tremble slightly, and he slowly opens his eyes. A faint smile flows in his amber-clear eyes. He tilts his head slightly, and his soft, rosy cheek rests against the perfume bottle. The picture freezes at this moment.
It was normal to shoot a clip of an advertisement more than ten or twenty times. Yu You listened to the director's requirements and adjusted his expression and movements to repeat this short shot over and over again, without noticing Jiang Xunzhou coming.
Jiang Xunzhou watched for a while, said something to Shi Sanlin, and left with his men.
After spending a whole day shooting the commercial, Yu You finally finished and could leave work. He breathed a sigh of relief and went back to the rest room to remove his makeup and change into his own clothes. Only then did he hear from Shi Sanlin that Jiang Xunzhou had been there.
"When did this happen?" Yu You looked slightly stunned. "Did he really come? Why didn't I see him?"
"Boss Jiang really did come, but you were filming at the time. Afterwards, you were discussing details with the director. A makeup artist was retouching your makeup, and staff were adjusting the position of the roses in the bathtub. There were people blocking the view everywhere, so it's normal that you didn't see Boss Jiang."
Shi Sanlin said, "I even asked the director if I should tell him to take a break, but Mr. Jiang said no. I stayed for about twenty minutes, then got a phone call and left."
Yu You asked nervously, "When exactly did he arrive? There was a scene where I couldn't find my groove while filming. Did he see it?"
Shi Sanlin couldn't help laughing and teased Yu You, "Are you afraid of embarrassing yourself in front of President Jiang?"
Yu You nodded seriously.
Everyone hopes to always show their best side in front of the person they like.
Shi Sanlin told Yu You the approximate time point, and he finally felt relieved.
Fortunately, he was in good condition when filming that scene, so it wasn't embarrassing.
Yu You left the building where the filming took place, said goodbye to Shi Sanlin, and got in the car back to the villa.
The automatic door slid open, and a familiar figure appeared in the back seat.
The handsome and mature man was wearing a simple, well-tailored suit. His every move and gesture revealed the dignity of a superior. His slender fingers were tapping on the folding table as he thought in front of the computer screen.
Yu You's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to get into Jiang Xunzhou's arms: "Husband, are you here to pick me up from get off work?"
Jiang Xunzhou stretched out his arms, hugged the boy who had suddenly emerged from his arms like a mushroom, kissed the corner of his lips, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, baby. You're off work so late."
"It's okay." Yu You was self-aware. "The staff had a heavier workload in the early stages of preparation. They had to test the location, the equipment, and the lighting. Everything was arranged, and I came directly to shoot. I have the shortest working hours among everyone."
Then he started to laugh: "The director may have heard about the relationship between me and my aunt. He was very cautious and hesitant when talking to me at first. We wasted a lot of time in communication at that time. Later, the communication became normal."
Jiang Xunzhou smiled and said, "Given my mother's personality, she must have told me in advance to take good care of you."
Yu You tilted his head and asked again, "How about you, did your work go well today?"
Jiang Xunzhou nodded. "It went pretty smoothly. It didn't take much effort. The contract was finalized on the spot. I saw it was still early and on my way, so I came to see you."
Yu You said coquettishly: "Why didn't you tell me that you came to see me?"
"I wanted to wait for you to rest and talk to you for a few minutes, but seeing how focused you were on filming, I was afraid that waiting there would disturb you, so I left first."
Jiang Xunzhou said, "I didn't know what the process of shooting an advertisement was before. I thought it was simple and easy. But after going there today, I realized how hard it is to shoot an advertisement. One shot needs to be shot more than ten times."
Yu You said, "That's how it works when shooting commercials. Generally speaking, the lead actor is only available for one or two days, so it's best to shoot as much footage as possible on that day to make it easier for editing later."
He leaned over again and kissed the corner of Jiang Xunzhou's lips: "Thank you, husband. You were right to leave early. If I knew you were there, I would definitely laugh uncontrollably. I'm a professional actor and I absolutely cannot make such a low-level mistake."
"Then let me give a certain professional actor a piece of news."
Jiang Xunzhou pinched Yu You's cheek and whispered, "Xingtian Entertainment got a heads-up that the movie you starred in was nominated for an award, and you were also nominated for the Best Newcomer Award."
Yu You was overwhelmed by the surprise and couldn't wait to ask, "When can I know the award?"
"A month," Jiang Xunzhou said. "The media will soon know about this and will come to interview you. Be prepared."
Yu You was dazed: "So fast? There are results in a month. No, I have to ask Brother Shi if there is any conflict in my schedule."
Jiang Xunzhou hummed: "Do you want me to go with you?"
"Of course." Yu You nodded vigorously, "You are my chosen and only exclusive male companion!"
His red carpet partner can't run away.
Just as Jiang Xunzhou showed a hint of smile, Yu You suddenly hesitated: "Wait a minute, if I don't get the award, wouldn't it be embarrassing?..."
Thinking of this, I didn't even want to take Jiang Xunzhou with me.
The organizers took me for a spin and compared my work with various excellent international works. After a lot of trouble, I finally walked the red carpet and was just a runner-up without receiving any award. I still had to pretend to be happy and applaud loudly. How embarrassing.
Jiang Xunzhou said, "Whether you win an award at the film festival or not, in my heart, you are my only Best Newcomer. There is nothing to be ashamed of. And even if you didn't win it this year, maybe you will win it next year."
Yu You narrowed his eyes and said, "By next year, I will have debuted for a year and I can no longer be called the best newcomer."
Jiang Xunzhou said: "That's the best actor."
Yu You asked: "What if I can't get it next year?"
"That's the year after next." Jiang Xunzhou said without hesitation, "Many awards for best actor do take past qualifications into consideration, but it doesn't matter. I believe Xiaoyu Baby will win it one day."
Yu You never doubted his acting skills. He smiled and nodded when he heard this: "Yeah, I think so too."
His slender white fingers twisted around Jiang Xunzhou's tie twice, then pulled it towards him, his tone pure and innocent: "But husband, in order to get the award I want, I can only film more and play with men less. I might be busier than you, and I won't be able to go home for ten days, half a month... or even two or three months. Do you have any objections?"
He also added: "But we won't stop seeing each other completely. After all, I'm still in the passionate period, and I will calculate the time in advance to come back to see you."
As soon as he finished saying this, Yu Youxian felt guilty and even felt that he was heartless.
It sounds like the focus of her life is work, and she only meets Jiang Xunzhou for that kind of thing in her spare time. She purely uses him as a tool.
Jiang Xunzhou sighed resignedly, "No need for that."
Yu You’s eyes widened.
Need not?
Does Jiang Xunzhou want to go back on his word?
"Your career is on the rise now. If you're filming in another city and you take a leave to go home and play with other men, if you're accidentally photographed, you'll easily be targeted by career-focused fans."
Jiang Xunzhou said calmly, "In order to avoid such a situation, I can take the initiative to deliver it to your door."
Yu You's eyes sparkled with stars: "Hubby, you are so kind. When I win the Best Actor award, I will be the first to thank the man behind the award and praise you highly."
"I haven't received the award yet, but I've already painted the cake."
Jiang Xunzhou pinched the tip of Yu You's nose and said in an indulgent tone, "Okay, I'm waiting to go from being a husband fan to becoming the man behind the movie emperor."
Yu Youle leaned over and kissed Jiang Xunzhou loudly on the corner of his lips with a "boo" sound: "This day will come."
News from the international film festival continued to come, causing waves of speculation. When the shortlist was officially announced, Yu You's name appeared in the nominations for the Best Newcomer Award, and the film he starred in was also nominated for Best Picture and Best Screenplay.
Yu You received an invitation to the film festival awards ceremony, and went abroad with Jiang Xunzhou, and went to the awards venue on the same day.
Many fans gathered in the square at the entrance to cheer. When they saw Yu You get out of the car, many fans held up sea-blue banners and bouquets, jumped and danced, and shouted his name with a smile.
"Little fish baby!——"
"Mom loves you!——"
Due to time constraints and the presence of professional security personnel to maintain order, Yu You could only wave and greet them from a distance.
After entering, he subconsciously looked at Jiang Xunzhou: "Husband, was it you who arranged the support?"
"It wasn't arranged by me. They must be your overseas fans." Jiang Xunzhou said, "They wanted to accompany you to witness this day."
After entering, Yu You sat together with the crew, listening to the host's opening remarks. He was inevitably nervous, but because the live camera was scanning around, he pretended to be calm.
Jiang Xunzhou noticed it, gently held Yu You's hand, and asked in a low voice: "Baby, what's wrong?"
Yu You murmured, “I didn’t have too many ideas when I came here, but when I came in just now, I saw so many fans waiting for me, and I couldn’t help but feel scared…I would let them down.”
"But when you like someone, sometimes you give and wait, maybe not because you want anything in return, but simply because you want them to be happy." Jiang Xunzhou said, "Baby, among those fan support banners, is there one that says they hope you win an award today?"
Yu You was stunned. He had a good memory and easily recalled all the details on the homemade banners.
【Little fish baby, we love you! 】
【Free and Happy】
【Shining】
These are all keywords.
Yu You narrowed his eyes slightly.
Jiang Xunzhou lowered his voice and coaxed, "So don't worry. It doesn't matter if you don't win the award. I love you, and there are many people in this world who love you. So we're here to have fun today. Relax, okay?"
Yu You suddenly understood.
The last time, he tried his best to climb to the top, trying to prove that he was good enough and wanted more and more fans to like him.
But this life is different.
He no longer had to rush on the road just to pick up the scattered fragments of love.
In this life, he plays in the company of love.
