Chapter 62 I like you, Meng...
Unlike Fang Zhi and Zhou Xing, whose hesitation was more due to external obstruction, Bai You's indecision came more from his own inner struggle.
For most people, starting a relationship and forming a new family is a natural and smooth process.
But for Bai You, it completely overturned his outlook on life and even his world view of the past years.
The reason why he allowed himself to fall into such hesitation and consideration was only because the other party was Meng Qingyan.
Most of the choices Baiyou makes are very rational.
This time was the same, he wanted to confirm clearly whether his inner inclination towards Meng Qingyan was love or passion, and then give an answer.
But there is no doubt that today's news about Fang Zhi and Zhou Xing made him happy for the two of them, but also made his heart beat wildly and he felt a little excited.
Because Fang Zhi and Zhou Xing’s past experiences are also one of the barriers in his heart.
Indeed, at this moment, the defenses in his heart were indeed looser than usual.
He even wanted to act on his emotions, hold Meng Qingyan's hand, and fall into the warmth woven by Meng Qingyan like Xiaoliang, and no longer think about anything else.
This option may not be a bad one for him.
Because the two forces that were entangled in their hearts were already evenly matched.
It is undeniable that it is indeed the best time for Meng Qingyan to attack.
But Bai You is born stubborn. No matter whether he takes the initiative to throw a punch or is knocked to the ground, whether it is glorious or embarrassing, he needs to make rational and sober choices on his own.
He never wanted to lose this ability.
But he also couldn't forget "Optimal Selection", couldn't forget the images of himself on the screen in the screening room of "One Grid", and the cloakroom related to him in Meng Qingyan's house...
He also couldn't forget that Meng Qingyan asked him, what would he do if it were him?
Bai You lowered his eyes and gently stroked the back of Xiaoliang's ear with his fingertips.
The colorful rings around his slender white fingers have a lonely beauty.
At this moment, his heart calmed down a little.
In the eyes of others, he may not be as good as Meng Qingyan in every aspect, but in this relationship, he always holds the initiative.
Because of the obvious fact that he was "inferior to Meng Qingyan in every way", he ignored the unfairness to Meng Qingyan in this relationship.
Bai You raised his eyes and looked at Meng Qingyan quietly.
Compared to the restraint and reserve in Meng Qingyan's eyes, Bai You's gaze was much calmer and gentler.
"Meng Qingyan," he raised his hand and lowered the front and rear panels of the carriage, imitating Meng Qingyan's previous actions. "Can you give me a little more time?"
He added, "It won't take too long, just until the fireworks shooting is over."
"Are you going to cut ties with me after the fireworks shooting is over?" Meng Qingyan asked.
Bai You was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"No," he said, "I like you very much, Meng Qingyan."
The carriage was very quiet and Meng Qingyan's breathing suddenly stopped.
"Because I like you, I want to make it clear to you. You don't have to guess anymore. Because I like you, I give you a time limit. You don't have to wait indefinitely." Bai You pursed his lips, "That would be unfair to you."
Meng Qingyan didn't say anything, but his dark eyes became even deeper, like the deep sea on the eve of a storm, making it impossible to see the bottom at a glance.
"It is also because I like you that I need to think everything through before I can give you an answer." Bai You lowered his eyes and looked at Xiaoliang in his arms.
Falling in love is not as simple as raising a cat.
In fact, he didn't even have the conditions to keep a cat by himself before.
He also had a very complete plan for himself.
For those in the entertainment industry, let’s settle for the next best thing. What kind of store should we open and where should we choose after we retire?
His plan included his mother, the Jin family of three, Qiu Wan and his wife, and He Yuan, but the only one missing was Meng Qingyan.
If Yi Ge had not been drugged that time, he would probably have kept his distance from Meng Qingyan all his life and would never have crossed the line.
Even if there is a chance to work with him, I will only treat him respectfully like other actors, and there will not be a chance for us to be alone together.
To fall in love, maybe get married, to face the pressure from both sides' elders, especially the Meng family...
He had never considered these things before.
He had no desire for these things, nor did he want Meng Qingyan to face such pressure.
But if it were him, he wouldn't be afraid.
He really liked Meng Qingyan, not because of the harmony and novelty in bed, but because he was more responsible than most people he had met.
He also didn't have the bad habits of some of the young men he had known before.
So, he wanted to try to overcome it, to try to fight for it, to reconcile with himself.
"you can……"
"I can." Before Bai You finished speaking, Meng Qingyan gave the answer.
"I can wait for you." He said, his eyes were deep and heavy, "Not just during the fireworks shooting period, I can wait for you for a very long time, longer than you can imagine."
There was no hope before, but I still waited day by day.
Now, Bai You said for the first time that she liked him.
Even though I knew it before, hearing him say it in person felt completely different.
It felt like something in my heart was beating restlessly and wildly, so fiercely that it seemed like a burning fire.
Meng Qingyan pursed his lips slightly, but the corners of his lips curled up a little bit as if uncontrollably.
-
The second script reading is scheduled for the end of October.
Two days later, in early December, the Golden Gull Film Festival officially kicked off.
The annual grand ceremony has not even officially started, but fans on the Internet are already going wild.
The male and female stars who were invited to the event posted their looks one after another. Before they even stepped onto the red carpet, they had already become a hot topic on the search list.
The fans are even more supportive, with all kinds of support and topics coming one after another.
Among them, only Building No. 8 can firmly dominate the list.
Different from other crews and actors, the main actors of Building No. 8 tacitly did not show off their looks, which instead aroused the curiosity of the audience and netizens.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the red carpet show officially began and actors and crew began to enter.
And news came from the front line that Building No. 8 was the finale.
Although it was expected, netizens still sighed after hearing the news, but at the same time, their curiosity and expectations were aroused to the highest level.
Nearly four hours later, amid the host's excited voice, the much-anticipated crew from Building No. 8 finally arrived.
On the red carpet, a group of people from Building No. 8 walked side by side.
Zhou Lian, Wei Yuan, Wang Zhou and Xu Zhiyun were in the middle, with Zhou Xiuyuan, Fang Zhi, Bai You and Meng Qingyan on both sides.
Zhou Lian, Wei Yuan, and Wang Zhou all wore black suits, while Xu Zhiyun wore a black long dress. The main creative team wore all black, giving off a strong aura.
Zhou Xiuyuan wore a noble champagne-colored dress, and Fang Zhi next to her matched it with a calm white dress, which emphasized the word "stable".
The group put all the highlights on Meng Qingyan and Bai You.
In order to match the image of Shen Nian in the movie, Bai You also wore a suit, but it was a burgundy color that male actors rarely wear.
He has black hair, white skin, long legs and a narrow waist. He has a proper smile on his lips. He wears burgundy in a noble and mysterious way. His appearance triggered a wave of “Ah ...
Meng Qingyan, on the other hand, fits Zhong Ling's image better.
QL's spring show style includes a floral short woolen coat, silver trousers, and a light grey shirt with diamond decorations on the collar. The ruby brooch on the chest matches the color of Bai You's summer dress.
Her black hair was cut short and dyed gray, and although there was a faint smile in her peach eyes, there was no emotion in it.
Cold, arrogant, aggressive, and worth 2.58 million, this outfit with an avant-garde color combination that almost no one can match perfectly represents fashion, trends, and Zhong Ling's unruly and reckless nature.
In an instant, the cameramen who had been shooting for an entire afternoon and were exhausted were full of energy again. Flashes on both sides of the red carpet kept flashing and the sound of shutter clicks was heard.
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, damn! 】
[Bai You is so beautiful, Qing Yan is so cool, they are a perfect match, a perfect match! 】
[Ahhhhhhhh, Bai You, ahhhhhhh, Qing Yan, ahhhhhhh, Building number eight, lock it up, lock it up! 】
[Oh my god, oh my god, these two people standing together are so beautiful that I am speechless, okay? My eyes are going blind. 】
[The essential item of screen licking is here, I lick, I lick, I lick madly. 】
[Brother’s waist is so thin and soft. Ahhhhhhh, I am dizzy by Bai Youmei. 】
[Damn it, Building No. 8 did not disappoint me. It provided the best aesthetics, the best actors, and the best costumes tonight. 】
【……】
Amidst a chorus of “Ahhhh” sounds on the internet, the crew from Building No. 8 finally walked the red carpet with difficulty and stepped onto the interview stage.
"Wow," the host was also amazed, "As soon as our group came over, everyone on and off the stage went crazy. The whole group was filled with handsome men and beautiful women."
"Let's just forget it." Zhou Lian waved his hand and said modestly
Everyone laughed, and Zhou Xiuyuan, Bai You and Meng Qingyan on both sides stepped back a little, tacitly leaving the stage to the directors.
After all, it is a film festival, so the interview topics naturally revolve around movies.
After Zhou Lian and Wei Yuan were interviewed, the microphone was finally handed to the leading actors.
After asking routine questions such as the interesting things that happened during the filming and the confidence in Building No. 8 winning the award, the host smiled and handed the topic over to Fang Zhi.
"In fact, while paying attention to the movie, everyone is also paying attention to the relationship between Mr. Fang and Mr. Zhou that spanned fifteen years," the host smiled, "So is the previous news true? Are the two finally holding hands again?"
Fang Zhi took the microphone with a gentle smile between his brows.
"Sorry," he said sorry, but everyone knew the answer from his expression, "Today we are mainly talking about movies, so I'm sorry it's not convenient for me to answer personal questions right now."
The host expressed his understanding and smiled as he turned the microphone to Bai You and Meng Qingyan.
"Wow~" the host couldn't help but exclaimed again, "Everyone was guessing that the clothes in Building 8 must be very good, but I didn't expect that when I saw them in person, they were even more amazing than I imagined. May I ask you, are the clothes based on the movie characters?"
"Yes." Bai You smiled.
"This beauty is simply beyond measure." The host couldn't help but praise again, and then changed the topic, "Just now, there were quite a few people on the Internet who were shipping the two of you as a couple. I wonder if the two of you created any interesting sparks during the filming?"
"Teacher Meng is an excellent actor, so you can be considered half my teacher." Bai You smiled.
"Where is Qingyan?" asked the host.
"As for sparks," Meng Qingyan glanced at Bai You with a half-smile, "If I have to say there is one, it's probably that Teacher Bai always avoids me, for fear of rumors."
The host burst into laughter. Meng Qingyan took the opportunity to shake Bai You's wrist, took him half a step towards Zhou Lian and others, and ended the interview with action.
This tiny action naturally did not escape the sharp eyes of netizens.
Soon, the internet was once again flooded with exclamations of “Ahhhhhhhhh”, and CP fans were even eating sugar on the spot.
[I will carry the blue and white banner: Ahhhhhhhhhh, I declare that only true lovers can have such tacit understanding. 】
Amidst the bustle, the venue finally entered the award ceremony.
The first major award, Best Supporting Actor, was won by Fang Zhi from Building No. 8.
The best supporting actress was Xiao Li from the "Wuyou" crew.
After the Best Supporting Actor and Actress awards, the much anticipated Best Actor and Actress awards are here.
It was lively outside, and the atmosphere inside the venue also became unconsciously tense.
On the big screen, the highlights of the six nominated actors in the movies were shown one by one. When everyone was reminiscing about the scenes, everything returned to silence, and only the character photos of the six actors remained on the screen.
The award presenters were last year's Best Actor Zhang Mingchuan and industry-renowned director Gao Pan.
Both of them are very funny, making jokes on the stage, controlling the audience inside and outside the stage, and everyone on and off the stage.
The photographer kept focusing the camera on several nominated actors to capture their subtle expressions.
Amidst everyone's tense nerves, Bai You was exceptionally relaxed.
Among the six nominated actors, the other five are all very talented. He never thought about winning the award from the beginning, and being nominated is already a victory.
Meng Qingyan didn't care. At such a young age, he was already a double-awarded Best Actor, and the honor and attention he received was enough.
Putting aside the identity of an actor, from the perspective of industry insiders, letting a hundred flowers bloom is actually more conducive to the development of the industry.
"Then Mr. Gao, let's unveil the best actor of this year's Golden Gull Award," Zhang Mingchuan opened the small card in his hand and raised his voice, "Let's see who he is?"
The place was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. After a moment, Gao Pan looked down at the audience and said, "Let's congratulate Meng Qingyan."
There was thunderous applause, and some were happy while others were worried.
Meng Qingyan stood up and hugged each member of the Building No. 8 team one by one.
When it came to Bai You, he tightened his arms slightly, conveying the joy in his heart to him.
Bai You smiled, congratulated him in his ear, and watched him slowly walk onto the stage under the spotlight.
At this moment, the lights on and off the stage were all on, and only the dazzling spotlight followed Meng Qingyan's footsteps closely.
It seemed as if he was the only one left in the world and he was the king of this world.
This is Bai You’s first time attending a film festival after Feng Hua.
Many years have passed since that glorious time. He was still young at that time and can no longer remember some details clearly.
But at this moment, he couldn't help feeling excited, envious, and looking up in his heart. He wished that one day he could also walk on the light to the highest peak.
He smiled, clapped his hands vigorously, and there was a momentary heat in his eyes.
The lights came on again, and Meng Qingyan was already standing on the stage.
He took the trophy, thanked the two award presenters, then approached the microphone to thank the entire creative team of Building No. 8, all his co-actors, and especially Bai You.
"It is because of their support that I have the honor to stand in this position again." Meng Qingyan looked at the audience and bowed deeply in the direction of the crew of Building No. 8.
"Don't say that, Qingyan," Gao Pan joked with a smile, "Among the other five nominated actors, there was one actor who was only one vote away from you and almost pushed you out."
"Oh?" Meng Qingyan smiled and said humbly, "I have just seen from the audience that every teacher's performance was wonderful enough."
"Do you want to know who it is?" Zhang Mingchuan tried to stir up the atmosphere.
"I want to!" The laughing responses from the audience came in an orderly manner like a tsunami.
"Speaking of this person, he is a colleague of Qing Yan," Gao Pan smiled. Seeing that everyone's eyes were instantly focused on Bai You, he spoke with satisfaction, "That is Bai You from Building 8."
The sound of the tsunami just now seemed not to have dissipated yet. Bai You slightly raised his head and looked at the stage, and his eyes widened in disbelief in an instant.
For a moment, he even wondered if he had heard something wrong because he was too eager.
But on the stage, Meng Qingyan gave him a positive answer.
He smiled slightly, his dark eyes staring at him through the crowd. After a moment, he leaned forward slightly and said sincerely: "If it is Teacher Bai, then I accept my defeat sincerely."
