Chapter 74
At the same time as the announcement, the official Weibo account of "Stripping" also released the first promotional video, which immediately attracted many netizens to watch.
[The atmosphere, the special effects, the acting, it's so creepy! ]
[Another nominee for a prestigious international film festival, the Tongze family is awesome. I wonder if they'll ever compete at all three.] [Maybe they'll even win an award! Great trailer!]
[As for Tang Fangjian, just watching it on my phone gave me a cold sweat, and seeing it in 3D at the cinema... wow!] It was previously rumored to be released during the May Day holiday, but now it's been shortlisted for the Winter City Film Festival, and the festival ends in mid-April, so it should be a sure thing. [No, is the lead actor He Tong? I didn't recognize him. Does he look like this?] [I remember saying he lost weight, like 30 pounds. His face hasn't changed much, but he's such a good actor, so it's normal to look like a completely different person.] [I thought it was a consensus that Tongze was a good actor, but they just had a recurring look.] Tongze fans who had been following the news on "Stripping" quickly shared this news in the CP super chat.
Tongzai's acting is amazing! I've always known he's a good actor, but the feeling of being the lead actor is really different! [Also, as a fan of the book—it's Tang! This is Tang! The real Tang!] [Master Ze looks so beautiful, I'm licking the screen. Tongtong looks so handsome when he draws the bow, I'm licking it again.] [Ahhh, why is there still over a month until May Day! I want to see the movie! I want to see it right now!] [Are there any sisters from Dongcheng? The advance team should be getting ready!] [Yes, yes! We've created a small group and are getting ready to contact the studio. We'll go support them on the red carpet!] [Why aren't they submitting their films to domestic film festivals? Why won't Jinli let fans into the outer venue? I want to support them too, QAQ.] [Their influence in China is still not enough at this stage, but there should be opportunities in the future.] [I hope they can gather the three major teams first. Are there any sisters in the film industry who can tell me if "The Sky" will be submitted to Yuecheng? It's quite possible. Moon City's style is to "make the audience laugh and cry," so "The Sky" is suitable. Lake City laughs and cries, Moon City cries and laughs, and Winter City cries and laughs at the same time. It seems that no matter where we are, we must have enough tissues. ◇◆◇
As a frequent visitor to film festivals, Bei Jiaxiang was very confident that "Stripping" would be shortlisted for the Winter City Film Festival, and He Tong was naturally well prepared.
However, there was still some time before going to Winter City, so he and Ye Yuze planned to catch up on two tasks.
One is the dubbing of "Dream Travel", and the other is recording the theme song of "The End of the Sky" with the same name.
In the play "The Sky," the protagonist sings a song to a patient, encouraging them to muster the courage to undergo treatment and, at the same time, to strive for progress. The original book contained the lyrics, and this time, Yu Zheng used his connections to arrange for a well-known composer to compose the music. After Ye Yuze auditioned, he decided to sing the theme song himself.
When Ye Yuze wanted to record a song, Xingchen of course directly invited a gold medal producer.
He Tong was no stranger to this person. He was the one who tried to save him in his previous life but ended up sentencing him to death.
Although this producer is famous, he has a surprisingly good temper. He is now working with a vocal teacher to patiently guide Ye Yuze to sing.
Ye Yuze has been learning music since he was a child. He can play several musical instruments and has also learned opera from his grandfather. He amazed two musicians as soon as he opened his voice. Now he is learning and adapting some techniques.
Fang Chen also came to the recording studio today. He relaxed in his chair and said, "Looking at the progress, we can start recording tomorrow. If we're conservative, we can finish it in two or three days. It won't be late for the opening of Winter City."
He Tong looked proud and said, "With Brother Ye's ability, recording a pop song is nothing."
Fang Chen couldn't stand it and shushed him: "I'm praising my cousin, what does it have to do with you?"
He Tong raised his head and chest: "You praise my boyfriend, shouldn't I be proud?"
Fang Chen clicked his tongue and raised his hand to fan away the sour smell of love around him.
He Tong looked at Ye Yuze who was practicing, and his gaze gradually became profound.
"I remember Brother Ye also performed on stage in 'Secret Fragrance'..."
Though the film only contains three lines and less than a minute, that scene had a profound impact on the young He Tong. He was just an ordinary child in the troupe, but when he took the stage, he seemed to burst into dazzling brilliance. It was precisely because of those three lines that the child's sacrifice later on was even more heartbreaking.
Recalling the heartbeat at that moment, He Tong couldn't help but reveal an extremely gentle smile.
Fang Chen felt a little irritated, so he changed the subject and asked, "Do you want someone to write a few love songs for you and release an EP?"
Hearing this, He Tong turned around and glared at him: "You are so bold, Mr. Xiao Fang!"
Fang Chen was puzzled: "What's wrong? Are you a bad singer?"
He Tong then remembered that he had never shown off his singing skills in front of outsiders in this life. He coughed awkwardly and said, "No need. Just release a single for Brother Ye. I'd better focus on acting. I think Editor Yu is right. I can take on more emotionally intense roles in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, he found Fang Chen looking at him with complicated eyes, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing..." Fang Chen shook his head, "I just thought about how you were immersed in the role last time, and I was a little scared."
He Tong also remembered it, but his memory jumped directly to the part about "getting out of the play"... He couldn't help but chuckle: "It's okay, with Brother Ye here, I can get out of the play in a minute."
Ye Yuze recorded the song smoothly. He practiced for one day, went into the studio the next day, and finished recording on the same day.
Taking advantage of He Tong's popularity, the official Weibo of "The End of the Sky" announced the news that Ye Yuze would sing the theme song himself, but they were afraid of attracting too much traffic, so they did not release a preview.
He Tong didn't care at all. After all, he and Ye Yuze were locked in a relationship, so whose popularity was not popular? So he openly posted a one-minute clip of Ye Yuze singing a Qing song on Zhilei's homepage and even asked the staff to push it to the front page.
Before long, the number of views exceeded 10 million and continued to soar.
[My ears said that it was knocked unconscious by Su, so I am deaf now.] [Master Ze’s singing is so beautiful! It’s so beautiful that he has never sung before!] [Don’t say anything, arrange the single quickly, I have already prepared the money!] [The theme song of “The End of the Sky”, let me pretend that this is the song sung by Zezai to Tongzai. awsl] [Is it an a cappella song without tuning? Ye Yuze should stop acting and sing in the future. He is a music king who was delayed by his acting career.] [I didn’t feel much about the novel “The End of the Sky” before, but for this song, I will definitely go to see the movie when it is released.] He Tong listened to the song while reading the comments with headphones in his ears.
When Ye Yuze came out of the shower, he saw him enjoying himself so much that he pulled off one of his earphones and asked, "What are you enjoying? You've been listening to music all day and you're still not satisfied?"
He Tong threw his phone casually, rushed over, hugged the person and kissed him.
"A lot of people are asking you to switch to singing. Do you want to?"
Ye Yuze raised his eyebrows: "If you can cure your off-tune problem and follow me into the music industry, I might consider it."
He Tong laughed muffledly and nudged him: "Then you will never have the chance to become a music king in this life."
Ye Yuze pulled his ear: "Why, you're not satisfied with having a movie star boyfriend, and you want a superstar boyfriend?"
He Tong smiled meaningfully: "I don't care if my boyfriend is a superstar or not, as long as I can hear my own love songs."
◆◇◆
"Stripping" is a film jointly produced by Kexing and Xingchen. In addition, Dongcheng is Bei Jiaxiang's home base, so Xingchen doesn't need to worry too much about promoting it at the film festival this time.
He Tong went to Dongcheng with Ye Yuze in a vacation mood. After walking the opening red carpet and attending the premiere, he had nothing to do for the time being.
Bei Jiaxiang is a famous person, and Kexing is an internationally renowned film company. "Stripping" attracted much attention from the very beginning, and the premiere hall was packed.
Tongze fans have gained experience this time and are anxiously waiting for the repo of the Dongcheng team.
[Here it comes! The program brochure is here! Everyone, come check out the ratings! [Image]] [3.1... About the same as last time in Lake City, does this have a chance of winning an award?] [I thought it would get 3.4, I was so shocked when I saw it.]
"Stripping" is well-known and was released early, so with so many days left, it's hard to say. I don't care about the other awards; I'll be staying at the Science and Technology Bank even if I win. I'm just concerned about Tongtong's Silver Sparrow's chances. I looked through the film reviews in the program booklet, and they all had high praise for Tongtong's acting. But the competition is so fierce this year; several actors who have won Best Actor awards have films nominated. I've been relatively free lately, so I've been going to see all the well-received films. Indeed, the competition is fierce. Don't lose heart, Tongtong is competitive! My heart ached the whole time I was watching; my Tang is so lovable. The fans waited anxiously for over ten days, finally waiting for the awards ceremony.
He Tong and Ye Yuze wore black Tang suits embroidered with gold thread on the closing red carpet. Walking under the flashing lights, it was as if countless stars were scattering.
The Winter City Film Festival does not have strict requirements for the red carpet and does not require the entire crew to walk together. Especially at the closing ceremony, many movie stars will freely travel with their own companions.
Since the release of "Stripping", He Tong and Ye Yuze's fame has risen rapidly. In addition, the two are young and handsome, so other actors in the crew chose to avoid them and go elsewhere to avoid being overshadowed.
Bei Jiaxiang went with them, but now he feels a little regretful.
"I shouldn't have been with you guys. I think the flash is going to blind me. When will film festivals ban flash? Why are you flashing such a big light? It's a waste of all the high sensitivity that camera companies are putting in these days."
He Tong handed over a bottle of eye drops directly and asked, "Do you need it?"
Bei Jiaxiang was stunned: "Why are you still carrying this with you?"
He Tong winked playfully and whispered, "I'm afraid that when I win the award, I won't be able to cry and won't seem excited enough."
Bei Jiaxiang was a bit amused and confused: "There's no rule that says you have to cry when you receive an award. Look at Yuze, he was so calm when he accepted the award in Lake City last time."
He Tong looked at Ye Yuze and smiled gently.
Bei Jiaxiang couldn't see it, but it was impossible for him not to see it - his brother Ye was very nervous now.
He Tong leaned over and whispered in Ye Yuze's ear: "It's okay, I'm only 21. Even if I can't win this time, there will be many opportunities in the future."
Ye Yuze's ears were tickled by his breath, which diverted his attention a little and made his back less tense.
The award ceremony proceeded in an orderly manner, but the name of "Stripping" never appeared.
Finally, it was time to present the Silver Sparrow Award for Best Actor. The guest who came on stage to present the award was a veteran actor from Country M who had won the Lifetime Achievement Award.
The fans watching the livestream were all shocked. Last time in Lake City, the organizing committee had specially arranged for a Chinese person to present the award to Ye Yuze. This time, it was someone from M country, so...
On the stage, the veteran actor smiled and said a few warm-up words, then slowly opened the envelope in his hand and pulled out the card inside.
