On the Hundred Ways of Chasing Mermaids

Opening the envelope, pulling out the notarized letter, a name came into view, Ruan Butterfly smiled even wider, and read aloud the winner of the Crystal Award——

""Long Song"!"

At the end of the film, Hu Jia's "Exit the Fortress" sounded and echoed throughout the awards hall.The lights of the dome suddenly gathered and landed on the positions where Lan Xi, Director Yan and the others were, attracting the eyes of all the guests.

Also attracted to the past are the audiences from Huaguo and even the whole world who are paying attention to the Water City Film Festival.

Director Yan stood up in a daze. Ever since the name that had been fantasized countless times was uttered from Ruan Die Die's mouth, the whole world in front of his eyes had become illusory - for a while, the stars were shining, and for a while, the sun was in the sky again.

There was a moment of silence beside him, all sounds were separated by an invisible cover, leaving only a vacuum of endless peace.

Confused, unbelievable, empty... Director Yan's divergent eyes slowly gathered, his lips curled up.In just a few seconds, the pale world in front of his eyes regained color, sound, and light.An unprecedented sense of happiness slowly surged from his heart.

Yan Yu wanted to laugh, dance, and dance wildly. In just a few seconds, the world in her heart was already filled with vicissitudes.In the end, he just smiled reservedly.

Standing up, Director Yan was hugged by Lanxi, and then people stood up and hugged him constantly.

Then, all the guests stood up and looked at him with smiles on their faces. The applause echoed and lasted for a long time.At this moment, Yan Yu felt that he seemed to be standing in the center of the world.

"Director, it's time to go on stage." He heard someone tell him this in his ear.

As if being ordered by something, Yan Yu's feet walked up the stage in disobedience.At this moment, his hands were disobedient, and he held Lanxi's arm tightly, pulling him forward with him.

Lan Xi tried several times, but couldn't get her arm out, so she had no choice but to go on stage with Director Yan.

Originally it was because of nervousness, but this scene was put in the eyes of others, but it became a clear proof that the director values ​​the leading role and the relationship between the crew is harmonious.

This road is not far, but in Yan Yu's eyes, he seems to have walked for a century.On the podium, Ruan Die handed him the crystal trophy.Yan Yu grinned and held up the trophy. Under the light, it was extremely bright.

Lancey stood by, laughing and clapping.For this day, Director Yan has paid a lot, and also bears the pressure that others imagine.The Crystal Award is a surprise and a due meaning.

Suddenly, the cold trophy was stuffed into Lancey's hands.

Lan Xi raised her head in surprise, only to hear Director Yan speak hoarsely into the microphone: "I can have today, I can stand here, and to get this award, the person who needs the most thanks is standing beside me!"

Director Yan spoke on the stage. In fact, the Huaguo Internet has exploded.

Even if the live broadcast of the awards ceremony was broadcast by Imperial TV, there was still a slight delay.When Director Yan took the stage to express his thanks, the domestic audience had just learned the name of the award-winning film from Ruan Die Die.

"Someone pinch me and tell me it's not true!"

"Crystal Award, this is the Crystal Award! I'm going to explode!"

"Oh, I have no regrets in this life..."

Huaguo films did not perform well in international film festivals. The last time Huaguo films won such an honor was five years ago.This time a big upset suddenly broke out, and the audience was unprepared at all. The low expectation brought about was completely doubled the surprise!

Director Yan finished speaking briefly, and took the initiative to step aside, motioning to Lan Xi: "You can say a few words."

On this stage, Director Yan seems to have turned on the domineering attribute of "I am the master of my territory", and the whole person is extremely manly.

The domestic live broadcast was broadcasting until Director Yan took Lanxi to the stage and handed the trophy to Lanxi.

...Naturally another round of explosions.

"Damn, why did Lanxi go up too?"

"Wait, what does this award-winning movie have to do with Lancey?"

"How many people still don't know that the protagonist of "Long Song" is Lan Xi!"

In addition to the fans who always pay attention to Lanxi's dynamics, there are still many people who don't know that Lanxi participated in this movie.Previously, although there were topics and pictures of Lanxi's battle at the Watertown Film Festival on the homepage, many people only thought that he was going to play soy sauce like other stars.

Who knows that the movie Lanxi participated in will win an award if it doesn't agree with each other!

This award is not an ordinary award, but the award representing the highest honor among the three major international film festivals!

"Didn't someone laugh at Lanxi for not having acting skills a few days ago, because it all depends on hype and marketing? Does her face hurt now?" The Spring Festival Gala program made Lanxi explode, and there were also many black fans following it.

Of course, apart from the slap in the face, Lan Xi's new fans were all jubilant: I didn't expect that the male god won an award at the film festival just after he became a fan!

This idol is too ambitious!

The discussion here was lively. At the awards ceremony, Lan Xi was pushed forward by Director Yan. Seeing him, there was a burst of howls on the stage, and the names of "sweetheart" and "little angel" started to be called again.

Lancey: "..."

The beam of light hit her body, Lan Xi took the microphone close to her, lowered her head and smiled: "This is the first time I have spoken on the podium, and I am very happy that Director Yan gave me this opportunity."

Even though he couldn't understand Chinese, it didn't affect the guests to stare at Lanxie at all, especially after zooming in on the big screen, Lanxie's smiling face's infectious power increased several times, and in the eyes of the audience, its lethality doubled.

"...God!" Everyone in the audience sighed in unison.

On the stage, Lan Xi continued: ""Long Song" was able to come out, everyone in the crew has put in a lot of hard work, especially Director Yan Yuyan. I want to say to Director Yan, thank you for your efforts, thank you for your persistence, all Today's "Long Song" came into being."

Yan Yu always thought that he was a person with a lot of tears, even when he learned that "Long Song" won the award, he did not shed tears.But now I don't know what happened, when he received Lanxi's sincere and admiring gaze, his eyes turned red uncontrollably.

The ancients said: a thousand gold is easy to find, but a confidant is hard to find.He didn't realize it before, but at this moment, he suddenly understood the meaning of this sentence.Every word of Lan Xi seemed to poke at his heart, hitting the softest point in his heart.

Director Yan stretched out his hand and hugged his lead actor tightly in his arms.There was a wave of applause on the stage.Aside from some disharmonious remarks of "I want to hug my sweetheart too", the awards ceremony looked warm and solemn.

"It's just to receive an award, what's the matter..." Xu Chang's face was in pain.After Ruan Die called out the award-winning guests, he seemed to be submerged in ice water.What he just said was still in his ears, and it seemed ridiculous and childish at this moment, and even for a second, he couldn't help suspecting that the crew beside him were laughing at him from the bottom of his heart.

Turning around, Director Song was lowering his head, his face pale.

Xu Chang couldn't bear it, and found a reason to comfort him: "Director, don't be sad. They won the award, there must be a reason for that Rose Castle, maybe..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Chang was interrupted by Director Song's heavy gaze, and the remaining irresponsible guesses were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't spit them out no matter what.

"Don't underestimate the Crystal Award."

This is what Xu Chang himself said, and it was sent back intact by Song Dao at this moment.Xu Chang shut up, feeling a chill in his heart.

At this time, Director Yan held the trophy and came back with Lanxi one after the other.Xu Chang shrank his head and didn't look at the expression on his opponent's face. Who knows, the opponent didn't even glance at him, not at all.

At this moment, Xu Chang didn't know whether to be happy or angry.

The winner does have a lot of capital.

Across the ocean, audiences in Huaguo were enthusiastically discussing Lanxi's speech on the screen, as well as the director's true feelings and that hug.Some people even diverged from what Lancey called "the first stage", and pulled out the Golden Banana Award that year.By the way, Huaguo no longer has the Golden Banana Award...

There was a lot of "feeling for Xiaoxi" on Weibo, but at the awards ceremony, Lanxi sat happily with Director Yan, with a relaxed expression.

Unexpectedly, they won the Crystal Award. They have already exceeded the mission of this trip. As for who will get the best actor and actress award, it has nothing to do with them.

Lancey thought, this is the correct posture to watch the awards ceremony.

After a short break, a gray-bearded old foreigner stepped onto the podium.The old man was wearing a decent suit, the texture was cut and he could tell that it was worth a lot of money. Sure enough, as soon as he showed up, there was warm applause from the stage.

According to the host, the old man is the award presenter for Best Actor and the chairman of the Judging Committee of the Watertown Film Festival.

The old man nodded towards the audience, applause fell, he had no extra words, opened the envelope with his head down, and read slowly but firmly: "The actor who won the best actor at the 23rd Watertown Film Festival is—"

"Lancey, The Long Song."
