Improv [Rebirth]

After making enough preparations and eating enough drinks, the Peony Awards finally opened.

As the day of awarding draws nearer, the scheming in Beijing becomes more intense. Every day, some people are trampled into the mud, and some are suddenly lifted up to the sky.

Even those who don't like movies like this kind of time, when scandals, gossip and legends emerge one after another, and a new version is released every day. Today your scandal is exposed, and tomorrow the person who exposes you will be exposed.Everyone knew that what happened was not accidental, but they still greeted the friends and opponents full of smiles.

On the day when the nominees for the best screenplay were announced, Chen Yan's Weibo comment section was unsightly, and the official Weibo of the Peony Awards was full of curses.

"Why is there Chen Yan??? The host is out of his mind, right?"

"If the award is really awarded to this kind of person...the Peony Award will never be cleared for a lifetime."

"Judges, please consider carefully. A person's character and work are inseparable. People with tainted character should not be honored!"

Qi Andong got Chen Yan's Weibo a long time ago. He said that you are in a bad state of mind, don't let these things affect your mood, and prepare well for the future public relations promotion. I will find someone to handle these miscellaneous things.

For some unknown reason, Chen Yan agreed.

It was as if a filter had been added to him, and what he heard and saw was the anti-virus world, so although he became more nervous every day, his mood did not fluctuate greatly, and he did not go out of order again.

On the day of the award ceremony, the venue was star-studded. Hong Zizhen led Qi Andong and the second male lead across the red carpet. The clear voice of the host reached the eyes of all the audience, and the crew of "See You in a High Building" entered the venue.

After entering the room, they sat down with Chen Yan. "Seeing Green in a High Building" is important to Chen Yan, and it is also important to Hong Zizhen. Only the old god Qi Andong is there, telling jokes to divert their attention.

Chen Yan's award was the first to be awarded. If he won the award, Hong Zizhen would be more confident. Qi Andong also hoped that Chen Yan would win the award, so the whole crew was looking forward to it, waiting for the best screenwriter.

The award was presented by a pair of actors and actresses who were on the rise recently. The actress opened the envelope and took out a card from it.Chen Yan held his breath, leaned forward slightly, his butt almost left the chair.

Qi Andong quietly pulled him with one hand behind him. He knew that the camera was about to turn to Chen Yan's face, and he was afraid that his performance would be too excited and be used for editing.

The venue was silent for a while. The faces of the five shortlisted screenwriters were lined up on the big screen. The other four pretended not to care, smiling calmly or talking to the people around them. Only Chen Yan stared at him rightly. Standing on the stage, with a focused expression and no other distractions, it was another kind of charm in Qi Andong's eyes.

The clear voice of the actress finally sounded again, Chen Yan suddenly lost his hearing, and his ears were buzzing, not knowing whose name she was talking about.

He panicked and looked at the screen.He couldn't make out the picture on the screen for the first time, but after two seconds, he realized that it was "See Blue in a High Building".

Is this his award?He was even more flustered, afraid that he would be laughed at if he went on stage to receive the wrong award.He subconsciously looked at Qi Andong, who quickly pulled him up and hugged him hard.

"It's you, you won the award," he whispered in Chen Yan's ear, "My best screenwriter."

Chen Yan didn't pay attention to the mystery in his words. The noise from the outside world was like a cocoon. Qi Andong was wrapped in the cocoon with him, and his voice was clearly transmitted to him.

After hugging for less than a second, they touched each other, and Qi Andong pushed him to Hong Zizhen again.

Chen Yan hugged them one by one, and then walked onto the stage. His gait seemed to be fairly steady, but only he knew that his footsteps were soft and unstable like stepping on cotton.

When he stood on the stage to accept the trophy, he was still worried that he would have stage fright and forgot to thank him. When he turned around and faced the audience, he suddenly calmed down again, his mind was extremely clear.

The lights were shining on him, so that everything in the audience could not be seen clearly. He smiled and delivered a speech without any unnaturalness.

"First of all, I would like to thank Director Hong. He is my Bole. If he hadn't liked my script, "See You in a High Building" would not have met you so soon. He is a young man full of enthusiasm and ambition for movies. Director, willing to try all new things, full of tolerance."

"I would also like to thank Brother Dong. He trusted me, a little-known screenwriter. He not only played the leading role, but also made many suggestions for my script to make it more perfect. He is a senior who is very willing to support newcomers. taught us a lot.”

This thank-you speech was read by Qi Andong, and Chen Yan didn't change a word.

He paused for a moment after finishing the script he had memorized. The host was about to come over and hug him, when he suddenly spoke again.Under the stage, Qi Andong clenched his fists, cold sweat broke out from his dry and cool palms, fearing that Chen Yan would talk nonsense on stage.

"When I wanted to study screenwriting back then, my father disagreed. We had a big fight, and finally he said to me very tiredly, I can't stop you from doing what you want, but if you can't eat outside in the future You can still come home, and your mother and I will raise you for the rest of your life."

Chen Yan stared at the people he couldn't see in the audience, and smiled softly: "The film industry is harsh and strict. I was so poor that I couldn't afford the rent, and I was ashamed to ask my parents for help, because I didn't want them to know that they The prophecy came true. I gave up my stable life for my illusory dreams. In the end, I couldn’t even eat. I sent countless emails to producers, directors, and actors every day, hoping that they would read my script. I have the cheek to contact All the people who can be contacted have also been treated with cold eyes countless times. I also secretly cried, wondering if I should give up and go back to my old business."

He took a deep breath and let it out slowly: "I don't know if my parents watched the awards because we haven't been in touch for a long time and they are still mad at me. If they were watching, I would say, Dad, look, I can still eat today, and I finally supported myself with my dreams."

He bowed deeply to the camera, and there was distant and long applause in his ears. He walked off the stage and sat back in his seat. Qi Andong squeezed his shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Why do you think of saying this?"

Chen Yan held his trophy blankly and said, "This is a rare opportunity, I still... still want to say something from my heart."

He turned his head and asked nervously, "Are you going to talk too much?"

"No," Qi Andong comforted, "The audience likes to hear this."

Chen Yan nodded.

After a few more minutes, Qi Andong stepped onto the stage to accept the award.None of them were surprised that the prize was almost in his pocket.

Qi Andong stood on the stage. He thanked the director first, and then the screenwriter: "Thank you Chen Yan for writing such a good script."

He couldn't see Chen Yan clearly, but he looked straight in Chen Yan's direction: "I fell in love with it almost at first sight. At that time, I thought in my heart, this is what I want. For the first time in so many years, I was really tempted. I must have it."

He smiled playfully: "As an actor, it is very lucky to meet a good role. I am a lucky person. I met He Jianqing and became one with him."

As he talked, he thought, one day, I will stand on the stage and say that you don't need to use such a cryptic tone.

The hall was brightly lit, and the Weibo was full of excitement.Those who scolded the organizing committee, those who scolded Chen Yan, and those who scolded the judges mixed together, and those who defended "See You in a High Building", those who defended Qi Andong, and those who spoke for Chen Yan also participated in the scuffle.

And Chen Yan didn't know about it.

After Hong Zizhen won the best director, the scene entered the KissCam session. This session started a few years ago. The big screen at the scene randomly scanned the faces of any two people, and the two people would kiss each other.

The director scrolled through Weibo, waved his hand, and after selecting a few hot people, he turned the camera to Qi Andong.Chen Yan was laughing foolishly at the actress who French kissed just now, when he saw himself and Qi Andong suddenly appear on the screen.

As soon as his scalp exploded, his whole body became stiff, and he didn't know how to move his limbs.

It was Qi Andong who reacted quickly and deftly turned his head and kissed Chen Yan on the face.

His head was covering the camera, covering Chen Yan behind, everyone could see his lips on Chen Yan's cheek, but no one could capture a picture of their real kiss.

After he moved away, Chen Yan blushed a little, but fortunately, he couldn't see clearly because of the lighting, and it was inconvenient for the camera to keep staring at them blatantly.

Chen Yan felt dizzy under the strong light.There will be a lot of same-sex kisses every session, but it's just a joke, he forced himself to calm down and stop thinking about it.

After all the fuss was over, there was a reception, and Chen Yan was dealing with congratulatory people, when he saw Di Hui squeezed towards him in the crowd.

Chen Yan looked at him carefully, and always felt that his complexion was not good, his eyes were black and blue, and his high-spirited appearance was a bit forced.

He smiled at Di Hui: "How is President Di doing?"

"Hey, the people down here are too busy," Di Hui sighed, and joked, "My Di's can hardly drive anymore."

The people next to him joked that Mr. Di has no business, so we can't live?Di Hui chatted with them, only Chen Yan paid attention.He recalled the time, his heart pounding.

——Dishi's financial difficulties are about to begin.

He was too busy a while ago, so he couldn't even take care of Di Hui.

His original plan was to win the right to speak and develop contacts first, to be taken seriously by others, and then he could slowly count on Di Hui.But now the opportunity is approaching, if you don't make early plans, I'm afraid it will be difficult to start in the future.

Chen Yan intentionally only chatted with Di Hui, and the people around saw that they were chatting happily, and gradually dispersed, leaving a place for them.

"Qi Andong doesn't know why he's going crazy," Di Hui complained, "He always asks me if I've done anything bad before, do you think I look like that kind of person?"

I really look like you, Chen Yan thought.

"He also asked me if I felt sorry for you. Didn't he think that Shan Yu was sorry for you and you wanted to find an excuse to be courteous but found me instead?" Di Hui teased.

Chen Yan was startled, and asked a few more questions.

Qi Andong didn't seem to know what was wrong with him and Di Hui, but why did he suddenly think of him and Di Hui?Chen Yan'an was worried, and planned to find a chance to ask Qi Andong after returning home.

He shifted the conversation with Di Hui to Di Shi, starting with his contract with Di Shi.

"Could it be that you've fallen in love with Hongda and are planning to quit?" Di Hui said half-jokingly and half-warningly, "This is so unethical! A poor wife should not be abandoned!"

"No, Mr. Di misunderstood me! Some time ago, someone told me that Mr. Di was in arrears with the manuscript fee. It must be due to the difficulty in cash flow. I even explained it for you. Why would you want to leave?"

Di Hui stared at Chen Yan like a hawk, as if he wanted to see through him. After staring at Chen Yan for a while, Di Hui slowly relaxed and scolded with a smile: "Whoever the bastard is spreading rumors, see if I don't break his legs. "

"That's right, based on your relationship with President Zhou, it's not your turn to have any financial problems, right?"

"Are you trying to test me, kid?" Di Hui said with a smile, "Zhou Hang and I are just ordinary friends, and he doesn't care about me if something really happens. But Di Shi has nothing to do with it. This is because I don't know who to offend and spread rumors. "

He shook his head helplessly.

"I know," Chen Yan smiled at him, "That's why I helped explain."

"However, you said something wrong. How can President Zhou ignore you? You guys..." Chen Yan heard the resentment in Di Hui's words just now, and said meaningfully, "It's not an ordinary relationship. It's like President Zhou's cooperation with Hong Da has gone wrong recently, if he asks you for help, can you ignore him?"

He stopped talking and didn't continue talking.

"What's wrong? Don't they cooperate well?" Di Hui asked sharply.

"Ah," Chen Yan looked blank, "It seems that Director Hong said so... Did I hear it wrong? Didn't you hear it?"
