Upside Down Moonlight [Entertainment]

Chapter 44

The Feiliechuan Film Festival was held in midsummer. After two years, "Elopement" was finally completed and won nominations for Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor.

Also exhibiting at the same time is Yu Qingwan's new film, which is a highly experimental film. It has been shown in a small range in China and has a good reputation in small circles. In recent years, Wan's filmmaking route has become more and more deviant.

Zhou Jiayao and Ji Chongzhou ran into Yu Qingwan when they were watching the exhibition. Yu Qingwan came over to say hello to the two of them, and sent out another invitation: "My book hasn't been shot yet, Xiao Zhou."

One name seems to call two people.

Zhou Jiayao said, "Sorry, Uncle Yu."

Yu Qingwan frowned: "Since you call me uncle, at least tell me why?"

Zhou Jiayao let out a breath: "I am not what I used to be, and it may be different from what you imagined and asked for."

He looked at Yu Qingwan and said with a smile: "Actually, I'm very honored that you always remember me. It must be anyone else who hasn't filmed a movie for more than ten years. If he comes out again, no one will dare to give him the leading role... Like I don't worry about myself."

Yu Qingwan and him looked at each other for a while, thinking: "Director Gu Yan has a movie in preparation, and it will be filmed this year, and there will be a villain behind the scenes. Going to try it? As the first step of your comeback, it will be a good start."

Zhou Jiayao was a little surprised.

He never expected that Yu Qingwan would have such a reaction...

Such love made him feel a little guilty.

Yu Qingwan looked at his expression: "Are you still planning to make a movie?"

Zhou Jiayao said in a deep voice, "Actually, a movie is planned."

Yu Qingwan asked, "Oh? Which director's?"

Zhou Jiayao glanced at Ji Chongzhou beside him. After thinking for a while, he still told the truth: "I and Chongzhou planned to do it by ourselves, and there is nothing to come back. It's just that he and I have not filmed together for so many years." , I just want to get together to make a film and tell a story. I’m still preparing, but it still takes a lot of time, and my energy in the next few years will be focused on this.”

Yu Qingwan looked at the two of them: "I heard something, you?"

Zhou Jiayao simply said: "Yes."

Yu Qingwan smiled: "Okay, if you want to make a movie again someday, please contact me, Xiao Zhou."

"Thank you."

They separated and went to the exhibition hall of the movie they wanted to see.

On the day of the award ceremony, the weather was fine and the sun was scorching. The actresses in their gowns were all glamorous. The male stars were not so glamorous, and almost all of them were custom-made suits.

Ji Chongzhou's suit is a classic style—that is, unremarkable.But today's dressing style is not serious, the shirt is unbuttoned, and the necklace is hung around the neck. It is the day after his 23rd birthday, and Zhou Jiayao puts on the platinum plain ring on his ring finger like a marriage proposal.

The necklace wearing the ring was accompanied by Zhou Jiayao's appearance in the clarification video.

The stylist originally said that if he wanted to wear a necklace, they had more and better choices, and a certain brand, a certain brand, and a certain platform were very happy to provide them, but Ji Chongzhou insisted on wearing his own.

"It means a lot to me," he said.

The same goes for the Phillips Film Festival.

This was the starting point for Zhou Jiayao to become famous in one fell swoop, and he walked for many years before he got here. In a sense, he stood on the starting line alongside Zhou Jiayao.

Ji Chongzhou has no obsession with film awards, but feels that since he is here, he should leave a memorial.

The flashing lights beside the red carpet clicked and clicked, some of them came and went slowly, wishing to stop for half an hour in each direction to take pictures, while Ji Chongzhou and Zhou Jiayao walked calmly and flatly.

Someone commented on the bullet screen of the domestic live broadcast website: "These two people are walking like they are always walking on the road."

"Zhou Jiayao, the three-gold grand slam is blooming at home and abroad. Although he hasn't filmed for many years, he still has an attitude; Ji Chongzhou, the three-gold grand slam is about to bloom abroad. Needless to say, he has been a star in the film for many years. The actual performance is close to me, so don't do those things It's gimmicky."

"There's no need to say so early... It may not be possible to get the best actor of Fei Liechuan."

"The front is too polite, it is impossible, well, among the big guys competing in the same period, the last one in our country to win the award was Zhou Jiayao more than ten years ago... If you want me to say that Ji Chongzhou should not tie Zhou Jiayao, his strength is not at the same level at all. The gap between a genius and a mortal is visible to the naked eye."

"Pfft, someone actually said that Ji Chongzhou is a mortal."

"No way? Does anyone really think that Ji Chongzhou is a genius? It was Zhou Jiayao who pulled it up. Well, without brother Yao, he is nothing."

"Laughing to death, it's as if Zhou Jiayao came to teach you that you can also act like Ji Chongzhou."

……

Although Ning You was not nominated, he followed the crew to meet the world.She was wearing a little black dress, not heavy and old-fashioned because of her youth, but also playful.When they met, they greeted them with a smile.

She said: "Ms. Zhou received the award here when she was 14 years old. Best Actor. I hope Mr. Zhou can share some good luck with Mr. Ji."

Ji Chongzhou pursed his lips and smiled lightly: "There is a lot of competition this year, so be normal."

Ning You said: "Anyway, I think it's super good, but it's a pity that I only dare to watch it once. Alas, it's a bit weird to watch my own play."

"The more you act and watch, the more you get used to it." Zhou Jiayao said.

After he finished speaking, he suddenly thought that Ji Chongzhou had never had such a problem, not only would he not find it strange, but he would relish it.

After taking his seat, before the ceremony officially started, he chatted with Ji Chongzhou and asked casually.

Ji Chongzhou said that he hardly thought of himself when he watched the movie.Just like the hasty interview after the dinner more than two years ago, he believed that the role he played had elements of the character itself, Zhou Jiayao, and very little of himself, so he would not be dissatisfied because he felt that he was in the movie. Feel weird.

Zhou Jiayao couldn't help but said, "That's your role."

Ji Chongzhou blinked and smiled with lowered eyebrows.Muttered, "I know...but I just can see you."

Looking back on the movies they made together in the past few years, every character's smile, silence, madness, tears, fear, joy...all have Zhou Jiayao's shadow behind them.

So is Gu Zhiming in "Elopement".

Before the announcement of the best actor, the nominees' film clips were released. "Elopement" selected what Gu Zhiming said to his father while sitting on the bedside before killing his father.

Ji Chongzhou remembered that that time was similar to today, in the hot summer, in the RV, Zhou Jiayao lecturing for him, acting for him... Gu Zhiming, who played himself on the big screen, was slowly saying: "I forgive you, Dad. It's too late to live." If you are in pain, I will relieve you."

And what Ji Chongzhou saw was Zhou Jiayao who read this line in the RV back then.

Ji Chongzhou rubbed against his ear and whispered, "It's you."

Zhou Jiayao turned his head to look at him, and raised his hand to rub his head, but there was a large crowd and cameras everywhere, so he gave up and just smiled lightly.

The ring was faintly visible on the collar of his white shirt, and the host made some jokes, with nervousness and anticipation in the laughter.Suddenly, the ring flashed a bright light, and the spotlight shone on Ji Chongzhou.

"Congratulations - Ji Chongzhou!"

It was not easy for foreign hosts to pronounce his name, and the pitch was so awkward that Ji Chongzhou hardly realized that he was being called.

The camera was shown to him, the applause was warm, and the cheers were as loud as a tsunami.

Zhou Jiayao stood up and took Ji Chongzhou's hand. When Ji Chongzhou also stood up, he let go and applauded him.He smiled slightly, lowered his head and said close to Ji Chongzhou's ear, "Congratulations, my baby."

Domestic social networking sites were quickly swamped by the news.

All the bullet screens were dumbfounded.

Even those who expected to win the award before knew that the possibility was unlikely, but they actually won it!

"Isn't the one who said 'impossible', 'the difference between a genius and a mortal visible to the naked eye' and 'nothing' a slap in the face????"

"I'm happy."

"From today on I'm Ji Chongzhou's fan!!! It's so cool!!!"

"The award-winning "Elopement" is said to be unavailable in mainland China, but Hongcheng's release date has already been set, so I'm going to buy a plane ticket!"

"Damn, I cried. I saw Zhou Jiayao standing with Ji Chongzhou, and my dream came back... Fuck, I counted it almost 20 years ago."

The camera tracks Ji Chongzhou's movements.

When he walked to the podium, most of the faces he saw were foreign faces, and he was much more nervous than the previous awards ceremony in China.He didn't prepare his acceptance speech, and his English wasn't very good... Holding the trophy in front of the microphone for a moment of silence, Ji Chongzhou spoke slowly, his voice was low and dry at first, and gradually became clear and smooth.

"Thank you for the approval of the jury of Fei Liechuan, thank the crew of "Elopement" for taking care of me, and thank you for meeting the character Gu Zhiming..."

Someone on the bullet screen: "???? Why is this phrase so familiar?? Did he say the same thing when he won the Golden Butterfly back then, just replacing the name of the jury, the movie and the character??"

"That's what I said when I received the golden peach."

"That's what I said when I received the golden osmanthus."

"That's what I said when I received xxx, xxx, and xxx awards. Zhou brother can be said to treat the big prizes and small awards and international awards equally. To be honest, this fan is not surprised. I have now understood the truth. Zhou brother is not aloof. , but nonsense."

Ji Chongzhou thanked a circle on the stage, and saw Zhou Jiayao in the crowd at a glance.

He made up his mind and said what he wanted to say countless times over the years but didn't say it.

"I am most grateful to Zhou Jiayao. He played a very important role in my life. He is also a teacher, a friend, a brother and a father. I thank him for helping me in my acting career over the years..."

Barrage: "Here we come! Since Brother Zhou's identity was revealed, we have to thank Brother Zhou as a routine, and then we can end with a bow... Hey, why is it different today..."

At Fei Liechuan, Ji Chongzhou did not end his speech, but continued: "It can be said that without Zhou Jiayao, there would be no Ji Chongzhou. In fact, I don't know anything about acting. He taught me to cry, teach me to laugh, teach me to hug, and teach me to kiss. ..."

Barrage: "Who else doesn't knock this CP!! Give it to me!!!"

"???? Is Teacher Ji serious? I don't know anything about acting?"

"How to teach kissing, please describe in detail in [-] words, my traffic can hold up!"

Ji Chongzhou smiled in Zhou Jiayao's direction and said, "The only thing I don't teach is love."

He would call him a fool sometimes, Ji Chongzhou thought, but Zhou Jiayao is by no means smarter than him when it comes to love.

"But I learned to love him without a teacher."

Ji Chongzhou bowed, walked off the stage with the trophy, and rushed to where Zhou Jiayao was, and the two embraced deeply.

Full attention.

The barrage is crazy, asking if it is made public or is it made public?

In the interview after the grand ceremony, although the reporter was not as straightforward as the barrage, he also euphemistically expressed shock and curiosity about the meaning of Ji Chongzhou's speech.Zhou Jiayao only smiled and said: "Love is a luminous planet in the boundless universe. When you look up at the night sky, you will see countless shining stars. Your family loves you, your friends love you, and movie fans love you; And love you, love you because of a word; momentary love, long-term love, eternal love...all of these are shining bright stars, and Chongzhou is not only dazzling, but also the most special to me one of the..."

"He taught me to shine."
