Chapter 90 The main text is finished (second update) Award-winning. Building...
Mingle spent a full year abroad, including the time for surgery and recuperation. Now that he is back home, he feels that the air is fresher than in other countries.
During this period, Lou Ye traveled diligently both at home and abroad, without delaying the filming, and also took good care of Mingle.
"Wow, Lou Ye, the box office of "Shattered Light" is so scary, you are going to sing the song of the liberated serfs!" Ming Le said exaggeratedly.
Before, Lou Ye was considered a traffic star when he made movies, but now he receives only positive reviews online.
Lou Ye put so much into this drama, and the result did not disappoint.
Lou Ye already knew about it; the director told him during the days when the film was released.
To be honest, the filming of this movie was not smooth. It happened that he and Ming Le had relationship problems and Ming Le went abroad for medical treatment.
He was under a lot of psychological pressure at work, but fortunately it did not affect the filming. On the contrary, he was very satisfied with the results.
Can boil water: [Ah, my idol has become so thin for this drama, I feel so bad.]
Fairy with a beer belly: [Lou Ye's sign language is very standard. He must have put a lot of effort into it. He can communicate with deaf people without any problems.]
Bon Appetit: [Lou Ye is a true actor. He plays the role of Chen Yang to perfection.]
…
Ming Le couldn't help but feel his eyes moist as he read the movie reviews. This character touched him the most among all Lou Ye's works.
The hero Chen Yang in the movie is an ordinary man. His parents died early and he had to make a living in society when he was still a minor. His life was particularly difficult because of his deafness and dumbness and he was looked down upon by others.
When he was middle-aged, he was introduced by a matchmaker to a hardworking and simple blind woman and married. The couple ran a massage parlor. Within a year, his wife became pregnant. Life seemed to be moving in a good direction. The family was not rich but very content.
But soon his wife died during childbirth, leaving him alone to live with his son.
Misfortune often strikes the unfortunate. When the child was three years old, he was abducted by human traffickers at the door of his own massage parlor and could not be found anywhere.
Chen Yang, who was in his forties, had no choice but to sell his massage parlor and search for his abducted son all over the country. After twenty years of searching, there was still no trace of his son.
When he was sixty years old, all his savings had been spent and he died in a foreign land. At the moment of his death, he seemed to see his wife coming to pick him up in the light and shadow in the distance.
The two of them walked towards a happy life together with their young son.
"Ahhh, I'm going to cry like a dog." Ming Le wiped his red eyes fiercely. It was obviously a sad movie, and the protagonist had experienced too much suffering in his life.
But he didn't understand the art of film. He didn't know whether it was the director's exquisite shooting techniques or the actors' superb acting skills, but he could feel the infinite hope for life from the sad tone.
Lou Ye came out of the closet. He was wearing a black suit, a gray-blue tie around his neck, and a gold brooch on his chest.
What really makes the outfit look out of place is the pair of cheap cufflinks on her wrists.
Mingle bought it for him when he earned his first salary.
Ming Le withdrew his gaze and looked at Lou Ye. In the past few months, Lou Ye had gained back the weight he had lost for the filming. His chest muscles were bulging, his shoulders were broad and his waist was narrow. His long legs wrapped in well-fitting suit pants were very eye-catching.
Ming Le's eyes widened and he swallowed subconsciously. His concentration was really getting worse and worse.
Lou Ye naturally saw his little action, moved closer, and whispered seductively: "Not now, it's not impossible to come back and put on a suit."
Ming Le's face turned red. Lou Ye became too mean: "Wait for me, I'm going to change clothes." He pushed people away and ran away.
Lou Ye laughed lowly.
The Academy Awards announced the shortlist, and "Shattered Light" was among them. Lou Ye, the male lead of this film, was also nominated for Best Actor.
Compared with other nominated actors, Lou Ye is relatively young. Even if he doesn't win the award, being nominated is a great affirmation of his acting skills.
But no matter whether Lou Ye can win the award or not, Ming Le insisted on going with him, and even brought a camera with him specifically to take pictures of Lou Ye.
Mingle dressed formally when he came out, but when he walked into the living room, he felt uncomfortable everywhere. He went back to wearing a comfortable white sweatshirt and jeans, and his face looked young and immature.
"Just wear this, don't bother." Lou Ye held the person back. Ming Le only needed to be happy and comfortable, and didn't need to care about the opinions of outsiders.
Mingle pursed his lips: "Okay."
It was almost time, and Geng Zhao had already driven over to pick them up.
When they arrived at the award ceremony hall, Mingle was seated in the audience.
Seeing that more and more people were entering the ceremony hall, Mingle quickly put on his hat and mask and sat down in his seat in a low-key manner.
However, most people who could attend this award ceremony were dressed in suits and long dresses. He was dressed in a sweatshirt and jeans, and looked like a student. Even though he was low-key, it was hard not to notice him.
"Le Le, don't run around after this. I'll come pick you up, otherwise Brother Lou will worry that you'll get lost." Geng Zhao walked up to him and whispered.
"Okay, Brother Geng Zhao, I understand. You guys go and do your work. Don't worry about me." Ming Le lowered his head and checked the camera again. There was no problem.
He must capture Lou Ye's handsomeness from all 360 degrees later.
Seeing that he was obedient, Geng Zhao left with peace of mind.
The two of them would stand out too much sitting together, so they separated. Sitting on either side of Lou Ye were his collaborators and director of Shattered Light, as well as other actors.
If Mingle was arranged to the front position, it would be too obvious. In order not to expose Mingle, Lou Ye looked forward and did not look back.
However, Mingle was obviously restless and sent messages to Louye from time to time. Louye occasionally lowered his head and replied with a few words.
Soon the red carpet segment ended, the award ceremony began, and a short film began playing on the screen.
There were directors and actors Ming Le didn't know who came on stage to receive awards, but he wasn't interested and kept his eyes on his phone.
It wasn't until the other supporting actors in "Shattered Light" came on stage to receive the Best Supporting Actor and Best Cinematographer awards.
Lou Ye's acting is so good, he thinks it would be a pity if he didn't win the award. Although Lou Ye said that all the nominees this time are talented, he should just be here to make a cameo appearance.
The screen began to switch to close-ups of the shortlisted male actors one by one, and the atmosphere reached its most tense moment.
He looked at Lou Ye who was sitting in the first two rows and appeared very calm, but Mingle felt that Lou Ye might also be looking forward to something from his slightly tense back.
"The winner of Best Actor is..." The female guest on the stage began to open the envelope. The ceremony hall was unspeakably quiet and no one dared to breathe loudly.
The atmosphere reached its peak. Ming Le's heart was beating violently and he clenched the camera in his hand. The next second he heard Lou Ye's name!
He stood up excitedly, covered his mouth and wanted to scream, but when he realized he had lost his composure, he quickly sat down again.
The whole audience burst into thunderous applause. He saw Lou Ye stand up from his seat, hug the directors and actors around him, and bow humbly to shake hands with the seniors in the front row who congratulated him.
Then he walked calmly down the long aisle, up the steps, walked to the podium, and took the trophy from the female guest.
The applause died down and everyone looked at Lou Ye in the center of the podium.
Lou Ye smiled and said, "To be honest, I'm very surprised to win this award."
His words immediately made everyone laugh. Lou Ye's performance in "Shattered Light" was obvious to all in the industry.
The tense atmosphere faded considerably, and Lou Ye began his speech: "Thank you, Director Li Er, thank you, cinematographer Shen Ping, and the post-production team, and all the staff of Shattered Light."
After he finished the thank you list, he paused and his gaze fell on the audience. He was the center of everyone's attention at the moment, and everyone's eyes followed him.
Ming Le's breath was held, and he put down his hands that were holding the camera to film Lou Ye, and stared at Lou Ye.
"The filming process of Shattered Light was quite tortuous for me." Compared to his previous speech, Lou Ye seemed a little more emotional at this moment. "I want to thank my lover for his constant support for my career, for accompanying me by my side, for warming me like light, and for giving me infinite courage and strength. So, I plan to give this trophy to him..."
Mingle stood up subconsciously.
At this time, Lou Ye came down from the podium, ran through the long aisle to the middle of the audience, and came in front of Ming Le.
Mingle stood there stiffly. What was Lou Ye going to do?
Suddenly, Lou Ye handed him the trophy, knelt down, and took out an exquisite small box from his pocket. When he opened it, there were two men's rings inside.
Ming Le's head buzzed. Was Lou Ye going to propose to him at the award ceremony?
"Baby, are you willing to spend the rest of your life with me?" Lou Ye's magnetic voice sounded. He did not propose marriage, as it seemed a bit strange to ask a boy to marry.
The whole audience was silent, and everyone was looking at Ming Le's reaction. It turned out that the boy who was covered tightly was Lou Ye's lover who was hidden like a treasure and had never shown his face in public before.
Ming Le was in a panic, not knowing where to put his limbs. In front of him, he was surprised to see countless colorful fireworks exploding.
The joy and sweetness were magnified, and seemed to overwhelm him completely. He felt that the sweetness in the air was excessive, and he was almost out of breath.
There was the sound of cameras clicking around, he stretched out his finger and Lou Ye put the ring on his finger.
He reciprocated by letting Lou Ye put it on, and his face turned red. Fortunately, he was wearing a mask, otherwise he would not be able to see anyone.
"Get up quickly!" Ming Le whispered. It was really too embarrassing to be watched by everyone.
Lou Ye stood up and pulled down his mask. Ming Le exclaimed, but before he could react, Lou Ye bent down and kissed him.
The surroundings suddenly rang with thunderous applause, but Ming Le seemed not to hear it. Being hugged by Lou Ye, he was the only one in his eyes and heart.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two hugged each other intimately, the rings on their tightly clasped hands, one big and one small, sparkling, and the light of love was brighter than the trophy.
