Chapter 272 Wei Xu + Lu Fangyuan Extra
35-year-old Wei Xu won the title of Best Actor in China. When he took the stage to give his acceptance speech, he was silent for a few seconds. He first thanked the entire crew of the award-winning film and all the people who had helped him in the past. Finally, he said in a solemn voice: "I want to thank a lady. She is the most important woman in my life besides my mother."
Wei Xu's words immediately caused an uproar for the actor who has always been single.
Although he has been at the peak of his career in recent years, from a popular young actor to a powerful actor, every movie and TV series he has starred in has been a big hit, maintaining his reputation as a box office hit in the mainland, but he has always kept himself clean and has never had any scandals.
The so-called ambiguous stories were all fabricated by the tabloids, so much so that even the reports in the first few years that seemed close to the truth were no longer believed.
At that time, Wei Xu would go to the banquets of wealthy families for money, chatting, eating, and playing. Old Dai kept these secrets for him, and he denied them to anyone who asked. However, he was very grateful that he had met Lin Ruoyan during those dark years.
A rich girl who only treated him as an ordinary friend.
He still remembered the first time he'd taken the money and pretended to be on a blind date, only to reveal his intentions. The other person's pure eyes seemed unsurprised, and she'd even agreed that it was just a casual affair. He was covering for her, so she could escape the harassment of the other blind daters and have a good meal.
Then, she invested so much money in a movie to promote him. He said he wasn't moved at all, but that was absolutely a lie. Yet, she had no desire for him at all.
Over the years, they had exchanged very few words, and she simply continued to invest in him. She made movies, started a film and television company, and allowed him to open a training school for art exams, allowing him to showcase his talents and gain respect. He gradually rose to fame and success, and by his thirties, he had already starred in several award-winning films, grossing over a billion at the global box office. When he finally became a Best Actor, he would certainly have to thank her specifically.
A bold reporter asked, "Mr. Wei, who is the lady you are thanking? Could you please tell us?"
Wei Xu smiled, a gentle and warm smile that immediately captivated a group of women. He said word by word, "That lady is my big boss, Ms. Lin Ruoyan."
At this time, the camera focused on a young beauty in the audience.
Those who knew Lin Ruoyan were not surprised. Over the years, Lin's appearance had hardly changed much. Although she was in her thirties, she still had the peerless beauty of a person in her early twenties. It was said that she had a child at the age of twenty and never married, remaining single and happy, which was the reason she maintained her youthful appearance.
Without further questioning, everyone could already see the actor's deep affection for Mr. Lin in his eyes. It was restrained, admiring, grateful, but he no longer had the courage to desperately desire it.
Even though he has now reached the highest point in his life that he has longed for, he is still very clear about the gap between himself and General Lin.
In the past, he was young and frivolous, and he didn't know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was. He would imagine that General Lin was also sincere to him. But later he completely understood that General Lin was the sun in the sky, and he was at most a star beside her. He couldn't reach her, so he could only chase her and surround her, hoping that a little of her light would touch him.
Wei Xu said, "I want to dedicate a song to General Lin. I sang this song at General Lin's wedding a few years ago. Back then, it was still a little awkward and I didn't quite grasp the meaning. This time, I've gained a deeper understanding and hope to perform it even better than last time."
It was a love song, its melody gentle and melodious, the ending a pair of flying wings together, full of beautiful blessings for love. Only this song could implicitly express his heart. Whether he could not get it or not, he would always work under Lin's command, and he should be content.
Everyone was surprised that Wei Xu could sing so well. He really was a singer whose career was delayed by acting in movies. Then the host changed the subject and asked what Wei Xu's next film would be.
Wei Xu said honestly, "It's a modern spy film, funded by Lin's Films. I'm honored to play the leading man, a hero working on the covert front. His deeds may never be revealed in his lifetime, and the script has been extensively adapted and rewritten based on the actual situation. However, the content is fascinating, and I hope I can capture his spirit."
Lin Ruoyan knew this play, and the prototype of the male protagonist in the script was Lu Fangyuan.
Recently, Wei Xu also secured the opportunity to meet with Lu Fangyuan, getting to know the prototype character's thoughts and emotional changes up close in order to make the character more realistic.
Wei Xu didn't talk much about his next film at this public awards ceremony, but he left in a hurry after the ceremony. The reporters thought he would take a photo with General Lin.
As expected, he is the best actor, he is very arrogant and his schedule is very busy.
In fact, that wasn't the case. General Lin also disappeared a short time later. Rumors began to spread that the two might have met up somewhere privately. While it appeared they left at different times, who knew if they had actually ended up together, and where they were now, flying together?
Lu Fangyuan finished his rehabilitation training and chose crutches instead of a wheelchair. After several years of rehabilitation, he has completely gotten rid of the wheelchair, and the sensation in one leg has basically recovered, and the condition of the other leg is also improving.
This is almost a medical miracle. In the past, people like him who had injured their spine and had their lower limb bones broken into pieces would have found it difficult to stand up again. Unexpectedly, with his tenacious will and unremitting efforts, he was able to break through the limits of medicine.
After returning to the ward to rest for a while, a nurse beamed, "Actor Wei Xu is here. Isn't today's awards ceremony live? I didn't expect him to come see you before the broadcast even ended."
Lu Fangyuan sighed, "He's very busy. I heard he's flying out of town tonight for his next event. It's not convenient for me to leave the hospital to chat with him, so I can only ask him to condescend to come over."
Another older nurse scolded the younger nurse: "I see you young ones, just because the movie star is coming, you all took the initiative to change to today's shift. Do you have so much free time? Go clean up, make tea, get snacks, and do everything."
The several young nurses in the room finally quieted down. The more cautious ones had already gone off to work. Only one brave nurse, who loved to joke around, was left. She said, "I think the actor is just average-looking. How can he be as handsome as our Mr. Lu?"
The older nurse, who rarely made a mistake this time, agreed, "Of course, you have a good eye. Even a movie star can only imitate about 70% of Mr. Lu's charm, but the rest of his true skills are not something that ordinary people can learn."
Lu Fangyuan was also amused and pretended to be aggrieved, "You guys keep bragging here. I've had my disability certificate for several years now, and you still praise me so much. I think I'm so outstanding. Alas, if I were really that outstanding, why would my son's mother look down on me?"
The older nurse said, "Perhaps she's just trying to encourage you, to get you back on your feet, and that's why she's been keeping you on suspense. She's been sending you gifts every holiday these past few years, and doesn't your son often come to see you on his own?"
Only Lu Fangyuan knew that his son came because he had some technical problems to ask for advice, and it was he who used technical matters to attract his son to come so frequently.
As for gifts, in the words of her son, Lin Ruoyan would "wholesale" a lot of luxury gifts during the holidays and give them to all kinds of outstanding men without blinking an eye and treating them all equally.
Take Wei Xu, for example. Everything he wears and adorns is a gift from Lin Ruoyan. It's the same style as the one she gave to Lu Fangyuan, the only difference being the color. And then there's Hao Heshan, Zhang Huanyu... Those other outstanding men at Lin Real Estate who haven't been married yet basically all have the same style. They're all eyeing Lin Ruoyan!
With these people standing by Lin Ruoyan, each using their strengths to contribute to her career, Lu Fangyuan secretly made up his mind that at least he had to stand up again and no longer use crutches before he would be qualified to pursue her.
