Chapter 89: Red Qi nourishes people, damn...
In mid-December, the day before the Golden Gull Film Festival, the crew of "Gambler" held its second script reading on the set.
Seeing Bai You’s car, director Shao Mingjun came out in person.
"Teacher Bai, didn't I tell you to take a rest today?" He asked, leaning against the car door.
The movie is called "Gambling Heart" and it is a subject of psychological portraiture. There is no doubt that it will contain a large number of scenes related to inner thoughts and psychological struggles, which will place extremely high demands on the actors' performances.
However, after seeing Bai You's performance at the first script reading, the director felt at ease.
Especially since tomorrow is the film festival, Bai You has been nominated for the second time and is very likely to win the award. During the reading, the team specifically mentioned this in the group and asked him to concentrate on preparing for tomorrow's activities.
Bai You was treated exceptionally well in the group, and the entire creative team was very respectful and polite to him.
Although other actors were jealous, they did not have any objections.
After all, everyone knows very well that if it weren’t for Bai You, there would never be the “gambling desire” today.
"It's okay." Bai You smiled and bent down to get out of the car, "Actually, there's nothing special to prepare."
It was deep winter, and he was wearing a white wool coat, with an upright posture and a clean and easy-going smile.
He was also gentle and patient when speaking to the assistant beside him, without any airs at all.
"Then let's try to finish early today." Shao Mingjun walked side by side with him and couldn't help but smile.
There were still a few actors who had not arrived yet, so Tao Yin went to get some hot water for Bai You, who was drinking water while making preparations for the reading.
The day did not end early. They did not drive back until around four o'clock in the afternoon when the sunset dyed the sky red.
After sending Tao Yin home, Bai You did not return to the community, but asked the driver to go directly to Tianying.
This was his first time in Tianying.
There is no one who doesn't know Bai You.
The lady at the front desk politely took Bai You to the top floor.
"Mr. Meng is probably still in a meeting," the other party said politely.
"It's okay," Bai You smiled, his eyes slightly curved, and he looked very approachable. "I'll just wait for him in a suitable place."
Everyone knows that the two of them have been talking about marriage for a long time. Naturally, the lady at the front desk didn't dare to just take Bai You to the reception room to wait. She took him directly to Meng Qingyan's secretary's office and called Sun Tong out.
"Teacher Bai." Sun Tong always did things in a flawless manner. She immediately opened the door of Meng Qingyan's office and let him in. "Qingyan is still in a meeting. I'll go call him."
"No need." Bai You said, taking out the script from his bag again, "I just want to read the script for a while, and I'll just have to wait until he's done with the meeting."
After Sun Tong left, Bai You put the script down again and looked around Meng Qingyan's office with some curiosity.
Meng Qingyan’s office is very large. In addition to the office area, there are also a leisure area and a meeting area.
The place where he is now is the reception area.
Because the floor is high, you can see very far away when looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows.
There are tall buildings everywhere, and the lights gradually light up, like stars rising in the sky.
On the bookshelf next to him were the Huarong Dao and the Rubik's Cube. Bai You took the Huarong Dao and fiddled with it casually.
The door rang again, and it was Sun Tong who came in with hot milk and some desserts.
"It's late, so I didn't make coffee for you." Sun Tong smiled and bent down to put the things on the table.
"Thank you." Bai You raised his eyes and thanked Sun Tong politely.
"Then I won't bother you," Sun Tong stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something and pointed to an inconspicuous black door behind Meng Qingyan's office area, "That's Qingyan's lounge, you can go in and rest for a while if you're tired."
"Okay." Bai You said.
Sun Tong walked forward a few steps, but when he opened the office door, he suddenly turned around.
"Teacher Bai," she said, "do your best tomorrow!"
Bai You smiled, reached out for his backpack, and quietly touched a square hard box in the compartment.
Inside was a men's platinum band.
Bai You specifically checked and found out that only one ring is needed for a proposal, and a pair of rings are needed for marriage.
This was the simplest and most elegant one he had chosen after a long time. It would look great on Meng Qingyan's slender fingers.
Outside the window, the lights in some high-rise buildings gradually went out, while the lights in some high-rise buildings gradually lit up. The office door finally opened again, and Meng Qingyan came in with a gust of wind.
"Why are you here?" he asked pleasantly, and then asked, "Why didn't you tell me in advance?
Although he was dressed in formal attire and his hair was neatly done, his peach blossom eyes were filled with joy and smiles, without any dignity at all.
Meng Qingyan strode over and grabbed Bai You's wrist before he could answer.
"If I had known you were so happy, I should have come here earlier." Bai You smiled.
The documents in his hand were thrown randomly on the table. Meng Qingyan leaned over to look at him: "Are you hungry?"
"I drank milk and ate some candy." Bai You said.
In the snack tray that Sun Tong brought over, in addition to the small desserts, there were two pieces of fruit gummies of different colors in the middle.
One of the pieces was mango flavored, Bai You couldn’t help but eat it first, and there is still one piece on the plate.
"Would you like to have one too?" he asked.
"Yeah." Meng Qingyan responded with a smile.
Bai You was about to reach out to take it, but he suddenly leaned down and kissed his lips.
Bai You's lips are so soft and have the sweet scent of mango, which makes people unable to stop.
The lights in the distance gradually became denser, and their overlapping shadows were reflected on the huge floor-to-ceiling glass bed.
Meng Qingyan raised his hand, and inserted his slender fingertips into Bai You's soft black hair, forcefully controlling his breathing.
The office is decorated mainly in gray tones, clean and cold.
But at this moment, it was filled with ambiguous gasps and passionate kisses.
It was not until there was a knock on the office door that Meng Qingyan slowly stood up. Reluctantly, he gently kissed Bai You's bright red lips with his fingertips and asked in a low voice, "Are you going home?"
Bai You slowly calmed his breathing, and kicked him amusedly when he heard this: "Someone is knocking on the door."
Meng Qingyan then laughed and let someone in.
It’s Zhu Heng.
"Boss Meng," Zhu Heng himself was not married yet, but when he saw the faint crimson in Bai You's eyes, he understood something. He looked away and tried to stand straight, "These documents need your signature."
It's the end of the year and the company is very busy. Meng Qingyan has been working overtime recently.
He knew that the document Zhu Heng sent at this time must be very urgent, so he didn't care whether Zhu Heng was embarrassed or not, leaned against Bai You, popped the cap of the pen, signed it quickly, and sent the man out.
The office door closed again, and Meng Qingyan raised his hands and put his arms around Bai You.
But this time he didn't make a fuss, instead he asked in a low voice: "Are you hungry?"
"Only a little bit." Bai You had been looking down just now, but now that he saw people leaving, he finally raised his eyes with a smile again, "Do you want to go eat?"
"Let's go." Meng Qingyan didn't care about the documents randomly placed on the table, "I'll take you to eat something delicious."
But Bai You didn't get up. He suddenly remembered something.
"You have to attend a film festival tomorrow, why don't you take care of the important work before leaving?"
"Get up early tomorrow and come to the company," Meng Qingyan said, "I'll go home and pick you up in the afternoon to go to the venue together."
"That's not necessary." Bai You tilted his head and smiled, "The teacher said to pick me up, and I'll go with the rest of the group."
Meng Qingyan snorted and laughed, "I'll arrange for the company's makeup artist to go there tomorrow, so you don't have to queue up with others to use it."
"Yeah." Bai You did not refuse and responded with a smile.
The annual Golden Gull Film Festival has finally arrived again, and the internet is once again boiling with excitement.
Fans of various idols were squatting in front of their TVs and computers early in the morning waiting to see their idols walk on the red carpet, and hot search terms on Weibo were appearing one after another.
You have it, I have it, everyone has it, and everyone takes a turn.
Although there are six nominees for Best Actor this year, the favorites for the award are still concentrated on Bai You and veteran actor Zhou Xuefan.
Zhou Xuefan is nearly fifty years old. He has won the championship twice in his mid-thirties and early forties. Now he is nominated again with the movie "Tiger Darts" and he is coming with great momentum. Although his support rate on the Internet is slightly lower than Bai You, he has many connections and supporters in the circle.
The box office of Tiger Darts was also quite encouraging, and it was shown one after the other with the fireworks, one at the opening and the other at the finale.
As soon as the crew of Tiger Dart appeared, netizens saw Zhou Xuefan and their attention was immediately drawn to the competition for Best Actor.
[Zhou Xuefan is in good condition, looking calm and confident. I am a little worried about Bai You. 】
[After all, Zhou Xuefan has won twice before. Winning again would be icing on the cake. Even if he doesn't win, his foundation is solid and there is no pressure. As for the other candidates, their hopes are not too high either. They are probably relaxed just being runners-up. In comparison, the pressure of Best Actor tonight is probably on Bai You. 】
[Bai You's Huang Mao in "The Inn" was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. If he wins the Best Supporting Actor award first, this year's Best Actor will probably still go to Zhou Xuefan. So far, it seems that no one has won both male role awards at the same time, right? 】
[It’s just dividing the pork, tsk!] 】
[Ahhh, in this case, there is no benefit for Youyou to apply for this supporting actor. I hope you don’t take it. I am willing to exchange ten pounds of fat on my body in exchange for Youyou not taking the supporting actor! 】
【……】
As time passed, the host on stage finally announced the title of the fireworks.
A burst of “Ahhhhhhhh” quickly filled the screen in the live broadcast room. Liu Ben was in the center, Bai You and Gao Xiu were on the left and right. The three of them led the way, along with fireworks, as all the actors and the creative team stepped onto the red carpet.
Most of the actors in Fireworks are veterans in the circle, many of them are tough guys, and they are much older than Bai You.
At this moment, Bai You was standing among them, with black hair and fair skin, like a tall bamboo shoot, exceptionally slender, exceptionally beautiful, and exceptionally eye-catching.
The gold and silver threads of the suit were extremely thin, and the light it emitted was also very subtle. When he walked, it was like gentle waves flowing over his narrow and tight waist and his slender and straight legs, making his figure even more magnificent than that of a model and his temperament more elegant.
The most amazing thing is that this time the makeup artist applied a very light amount of glitter on his eyes, which, combined with the dress, made his face even more radiant.
In an instant, countless netizens were licking the screen crazily.
[Oh my god, oh my god, Bai You hasn’t appeared in a long time. As soon as she appeared, she was so beautiful that it touched my heart. Ahhhhhh…]
[Every time I see him I always shout: How can he be so beautiful? 】
[People in love really, ahhhhhhhh…]
[Damn, red energy nourishes people.] 】
[He is really amazing, with such temperament and figure, no wonder the Meng family members like him so much, he is more noble than the rich and powerful, isn’t he? 】
[Have you noticed that although Bai You is beautiful, she is not feminine at all. When she walks among a group of tough guys, her aura is just as strong. Damn, how does he manage to be so beautiful and so cool? 】
[Bai You, my favorite.] 】
[Ahhhh, I hope my baby can win the Best Actor award, so that we can be the movie king and his wife in the future! 】
[My mother asked me why I was licking the screen while my nose was bleeding, QAQ. 】
【Crazy picture saving! 】
【……】
If last year in Building No. 8, the host was still probing into the scandal between Bai You and Meng Qingyan, then now, when the microphone turned to Bai You and asked questions about the movie, the host asked about their relationship.
"Qingyan is not walking the red carpet today." The host handed over the microphone with a smile.
Meng Qingyan attended this film festival as an investor and producer. He entered directly through the organizer's VIP channel without walking through the red carpet.
Bai You smiled and nodded, very gracefully.
"It's more appropriate to ask questions when Qingyan is not here," the host smiled and suddenly changed the topic, "When are you two going to hold your wedding?"
Netizens on the screen laughed:
[Hahaha, the host is so cunning. 】
[Okay, this is a good question. I will ask more questions. 】
【……】
On the screen, Bai You also laughed: "Let's keep it secret for now. When the time is right, we will share our joy with everyone."
"Okay, the young lovers haven't had time to meet each other today," Liu Ben also smiled and waved Bai You, "Come on, go in first."
This would make the venue already full of people.
The first few rows were almost all occupied by bigwigs in various aspects of investment and issuance in the industry, and Meng Qingyan's seat was precisely arranged in the middle of the first row.
The fireworks were arranged in the fourth row, with three rows in between.
Everyone in the group has extensive personal connections. As soon as they entered the venue, acquaintances on both sides of the aisle started to greet them. Meng Qingyan in the front row also tilted his head slightly to look over.
The lights in the venue were not very bright, but his smiling peach blossom eyes were particularly bright.
Bai You's eyes met his, and his heart suddenly felt at ease.
On the way here, Liu Ben and the brothers in the group asked him if he was nervous. When he was interviewed just now, the host also asked the same question.
But every time, his answer was that he was not nervous.
But at this moment, meeting Meng Qingyan's smiling gaze, Bai You knew that he was actually nervous just now.
He smiled unconsciously, and sat down behind Liu Ben with curved eyes. He saw Meng Qingyan stand up and walk towards him.
He was not attending as an actor, he was just wearing a simple black and white suit today, looking exceptionally handsome and neat.
After coming over, he first greeted the director and other actors, and then came to Bai You.
At this moment, almost all the cameras in the venue were secretly aimed at them. Bai You raised his eyes with a nervous smile, and watched Meng Qingyan leaning towards him with his hands on the back of his chair.
This posture is too intimate and ambiguous, but between two handsome young people, it is extremely pleasing to the eye.
"Are you nervous?" Meng Qingyan asked softly.
"I'm not nervous anymore when I see you." Bai You raised her eyes and looked into his dark eyes.
The smile in those eyes deepened, and Meng Qingyan raised his hand and rubbed Baiyou's soft black hair lovingly.
"But what if I don't get the prize?" Bai You couldn't help but ask.
"Whether you win the award or not, you are still you," Meng Qingyan whispered, the smile and love in his eyes intertwined like a flowing spring, "You are the one I, Meng Qingyan, love the most."
Bai You didn't say anything else, but his straight back finally relaxed slowly.
At this moment, he finally relaxed completely.
Netizens are wrong.
The pressure is not all on him.
The pressure was taken away from him by Meng Qingyan.
