Chapter 321, Update 321
321:
After a night's sleep, the next day was the film festival screening.
As the Best Film of the Year at this year's Golden Phoenix Awards, tickets for "Summer" sold out almost as soon as the screening schedule was announced.
After the two-hour movie ended, the audience couldn't help but exclaim: "It was really good!"
No wonder Ye Qingxi won the award; his acting was truly excellent.
[Feng Que's directing skills are as good as ever!]
I must say, it was quite touching.
[The plot even has some suspense! My goodness, I thought it was just a pure family drama!]
[Handsome men and beautiful women, a feast for the eyes! Director, you have a knack for casting!]
The editing and music are also very good, but I especially love the lighting and colors in the visuals.
Feng Que's personal style is becoming increasingly apparent.
Domestic netizens, seeing the reviews appearing on foreign websites, exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, such a high approval rating? I thought award-winning films were all artsy!"
[This one isn't very artsy.] someone replied, [but the plot is quite solid.]
Why is no one commenting on Mu Shaowu? Does Mu Shaowu have a lot of screen time?
[Yes, he's the male lead, he has the most screen time, but he acted quite well.]
Yes, there's nothing to criticize about him this time; he performed exceptionally well!
[Are you serious upstairs? Nothing to criticize? Are you sure you're talking about Mu Shaowu?]
[Seriously! You'll see when you watch it. It's probably because his co-star is Ye Qingxi, who is actually Ye Qingxi's father, so he didn't feel any pressure acting with him.]
However, Ye Qingxi's acting was still better; it was so natural!
That's because he was the reason I cried so many times.
If Ye Qingxi weren't so old, I'd even think he should be nominated for Best Supporting Actor instead of Best Newcomer!
I hope Ye Qingxi will act more in the future; it would be good for me!
[Hopefully, Mu Shaowu will act with Ye Qingxi more often in the future. It seems like his acting skills have suddenly improved since he met Ye Qingxi.]
[Hahaha, maybe it's all thanks to Director Feng Que?]
[Then let's hope Mu Shaowu will work with Director Feng Que more often in the future!]
Viewers who haven't seen the movie yet are reading the discussions of those who have, and they're all itching to know if it's really that good.
Honestly, it makes her want to see it too!
Around this time, the official Weibo account for "Summer" released the first trailer.
The trailer is very short, only about thirty seconds long, and the editing is very simple, mainly highlighting the characters and the aesthetics of the shots, without revealing too much content.
After seeing the photos, Chinese netizens exclaimed: "Truly a feast for the eyes, featuring handsome men and beautiful women!"
Wow! Director Feng really knows how to direct! Some of the shots are absolutely gorgeous!
The plot seems quite simple: a mother takes her child to find the father before she dies. Why are some people saying there's suspense?
Although you can't judge acting skills based on trailers, I don't know if it's because I've been influenced by netizens' comments, but I'm starting to think Mu Shaowu's acting is pretty good!
【Me too! 】
When Mu Shaowu saw this, he couldn't help but laugh.
He thought to himself, "I hope you'll always feel that way."
With the screening over, the Golden Phoenix Film Festival has come to a complete close.
Ye Qingxi bought gifts for her family and friends, then boarded a plane with Mu Shaowu and Feng Que and returned to China.
They parted ways at the airport.
"Goodbye, Uncle Feng," Ye Qingxi said to him.
"goodbye."
Mu Shaowu looked at him and asked, "You really don't want that trophy?"
“Of course.” Feng Que’s tone was gentle. “If I say it’s more suitable for you, then it’s yours.”
Alright, Mu Shaowu didn't refuse anymore.
"Then we're leaving."
"Okay, see you in January."
"See you in January," Mu Shaowu said.
He pulled Ye Qingxi and turned to leave the airport, heading towards the exit, while Feng Que went to catch another flight.
Looking at his figure, Ye Qingxi felt that he was working quite hard.
There are actually flights that land directly in S City, but the flight time is long, and Feng Que didn't want to be alone, so he took the current flight with them.
But that would require switching machines, which is a lot of trouble.
Hopefully he can get home soon and get some rest.
As Ye Qingxi was thinking, she heard her father's phone ring.
He looked over reflexively and saw his father's puzzled expression.
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing," Mu Shaowu said.
He answered the phone and heard Feng Que's voice, "Wait for me, let's go together."
Mu Shaowu: ? ? ?
Aren't you coming home?
“Why go back home! Grandpa just called me after he found out that Xiaoxi won the award. He said he’s on his way here and told me not to go back either. We’ll have a family reunion here.”
Mu Shaowu: ...
That's really in line with Mr. Feng's style!
Hearing him say, "You're not going home," Ye Qingxi asked curiously, "Is it Uncle Feng?"
"Um."
"Is he not coming home?"
“Your great-grandfather is coming to celebrate with you, so tell him to stay here and not move around.”
Ye Qingxi was pleased to hear this.
"Then Uncle Feng won't need to switch planes anymore, and he won't have to work so hard."
Mu Shaowu pinched his little face. "Your first reaction was this? I thought you would be happy that your great-grandfather came."
"Of course I'm happy too," Ye Qingxi said, "but Uncle Feng has worked very hard too."
“If it weren’t for the fact that he wanted to be with us, he could have just flown directly to City S.”
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu felt a little guilty.
His son thought Feng Que was just lonely on the journey, but Feng Que wasn't a child. Adults don't care about such things.
The deeper reason, Feng Que did not say.
Mu Shaowu pretended not to know.
But both of them knew the truth.
Thinking about this, Mu Shaowu felt inexplicably at a loss and uneasy.
So he pulled Ye Qingxi along and continued walking towards the exit.
Ye Qingxi asked, puzzled, "Aren't we waiting for Uncle Feng to come along?"
"Let's wait in the car," Mu Shaowu said. "Otherwise, it'll be troublesome if someone recognizes us."
Ye Qingxi nodded and walked out with him.
Feng Que quickly exited the station and got into the car that was there to pick up Mu Shaowu.
"Hello, Director Feng," Zeng Chong greeted him.
"Hello."
"Let's take Director Feng home first," Mu Shaowu said, looking at Feng Que.
"No need, let's take Xiaoxi home first. She must be tired."
"I'm not tired," Ye Qingxi quickly replied.
Feng Que: ...Then your father must be tired too.
However, Mu Shaowu forbade him to say this, so Feng Que was forced to go home first.
After seeing Feng Que off, Zeng Chong drove to the Mu family villa.
Ye Qingxi got out of the car and had just stepped into her house when she heard the sound of small firecrackers going off.
Mu Shaoting set off two small celebratory firecrackers and said happily, "Congratulations, baby, on winning the newcomer award."
After saying that, she thoughtfully added to Mu Shaowu, "Congratulations to you, brother, on winning Best Film for the movie you starred in. Everyone in our department is saying they want to go see it!"
“Exactly!” Mu Shaoyan said, “My roommates also said they wanted to go see it.”
"You must be tired. Dinner is ready. Let's eat first," Mu Zheng said.
"Or do you want to catch up on your sleep first?" Qin Luan asked.
As Ye Qingxi listened, in that instant, she suddenly felt that she had truly come home.
He turned to look at Mu Shaowu.
Mu Shaowu had a faint smile on his face.
He said, "Let's eat first."
Ye Qingxi nodded and pulled Mu Shaowu inside.
Aunt Zhang had already prepared the dishes, and Qin Luan had even baked some small cakes.
Qin Cheng thoughtfully pulled out a chair for Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi turned to look at him, and Qin Cheng smiled and said to him, "Congratulations."
"Thank you." Ye Qingxi looked at him. "I bought you a gift."
Qin Cheng laughed again.
Seeing that the two of them had started chatting, Qin Luan asked Qin Cheng to sit on the other side of Ye Qingxi.
Mu Shaoting asked curiously, "What does the trophy look like? Xiao Xi, quickly take it out so I can see it."
“It’s with my dad,” Ye Qingxi said.
"Let's eat first," Mu Zheng said. "We can look at it after we finish eating."
"I'll go get the dishes," Aunt Zhang said excitedly. "I made all your favorites today."
"Then I'll go call our old Comrade Mu," Mu Shaoyan said.
"I'll go," Ye Qingxi said quickly.
After he finished speaking, he jumped off the chair and turned to walk towards the study.
Before she even reached the study, Ye Qingxi encountered Mu Feng, who had just come out of the study, in the corridor.
"You're back," Mu Feng said.
Ye Qingxi nodded.
A little embarrassed, yet also proud, she looked at him happily and said, "I won an award."
Mu Feng nodded. "I know."
“I saw it.”
Ye Qingxi was even happier than she expected him to watch her live stream.
"The trophy is in Dad's suitcase. I'll show it to Grandpa after we finish eating." He rarely showed off his tail feathers like a young peacock spreading its tail feathers.
"Okay," Mu Feng replied.
"But I gave this trophy to my dad, so I can't give it to you, Grandpa. I'll give it to you next time, when I win another award."
Mu Feng laughed and said, "You can't give me everything."
Ye Qingxi felt the same way. He admired Feng, but he also admired Shao Wu.
Therefore, he would give gifts to Mu Feng, and also to Mu Shaowu.
However, this was, after all, his first trophy, the first flag he planted on his territory.
That's where his talent lies.
It was a rare moment of glory for him.
Therefore, Ye Qingxi inevitably wanted to show him this side of herself.
I want to give him my trophy.
However, this trophy is clearly more meaningful to Mu Shaowu.
That's why he gave it to Mu Shaowu without hesitation at that time.
"Next time, I'll take another one, and then I'll give it to you, Grandpa."
Ye Qingxi repeated herself, her eyes filled with joy, shyness, and bright confidence.
Mu Feng: ...
Mu Feng felt a mix of emotions.
I am also proud of his confidence.
She was also happy that he always thought of her.
But I'm also troubled by the fact that he still wants to act and win another award.
Mu Feng truly felt that he didn't need Ye Qingxi to give him another trophy.
More than trophies, he wanted Ye Qingxi to study hard and work steadily in the group in the future.
Instead of acting and singing, singing and acting.
However, Mu Feng didn't say anything in the end.
He simply said, "Okay."
Ye Qingxi's eyes instantly became even brighter.
He smiled, like a tiny flower bud, shyly blooming with its own unique beauty.
Mu Feng looked on, feeling utterly helpless.
The method to get Ye Qingxi to stop acting and singing is very simple, Mu Feng knows very well. He only needs to say one sentence to Ye Qingxi, just tell her that he doesn't like it, and Ye Qingxi will immediately have nothing to do with them anymore.
His grandson seems smart, but he's actually quite foolish; he thinks very little about himself and a lot about others.
That's precisely why Mu Feng couldn't bring himself to say such things to him.
He could tell Mu Shaowu and Mu Shaoting without any hesitation that he didn't like them acting/singing because they were adults and had their own logic and judgment.
They know that while family is important in their lives, they cannot live solely for their family.
But Ye Qingxi is still young.
He was so young that his family was practically his whole world.
Therefore, he didn't want to let his own preferences dictate his life at his age.
He is happy because of acting.
I will be proud to receive the award.
When you want to show off your talents to him, it's like you want to flaunt them.
Acting is already a positive aspect of his life.
Mu Feng will ruthlessly eliminate all negative aspects of Ye Qingxi's life.
However, they won't target those who are positive.
Because his happiness is more important than anything else.
