Lau Chi Wai won Best Actor for Horizon Venice!

The news spread like an explosion, sweeping the front page of Weibo almost instantly.Unlike the Oscars, the Venice Film Festival does not attract so many people, but few Chinese people win awards at such international film festivals.Any award-winning Chinese filmmaker, as long as he is shortlisted for an international film festival, will receive intense media attention, let alone a newly promoted male star who is still on the topic!

In less than a year since Liu Zhiwei really appeared in the audience's field of vision, he won the Best Actor award in Venice Horizon!

The media almost immediately pulled out the title of "Venice Best Actor".

Although it is not the main competition unit, no one in China who won this title can break five fingers!

Liu Zhiwei, who had just faded out of everyone's sight, suddenly appeared on the stage in such an explosive way, brushing away all the negative news about him in an instant!

Originally, there were only a limited number of Chinese people on the live broadcast platform, but suddenly there was a massive influx of viewers, the number of clicks continued to rise, dozens of related topics were created in an instant, and everyone was frantically discussing this news!

Liu Zhiwei's fan group immediately exploded, and someone shouted in the group: "Brother Zhiwei won the Venice award!!"

Then countless emoticons came out like a bombardment.

"Qianqianqiu platform! Go to the official live broadcast website of the Venice Film Festival to watch!"

The news was more than ten minutes later than the real-time situation, but viewers who temporarily cut to watch can still play back by pulling the progress bar.

The fast-handed news reporters have already recorded the relevant clips and released them in the fastest way to seize the opportunity. The fastest one is the media "public news" that once did a video report for Liu Zhiwei that triggered the incident of Zhang Chengqian's Baihe .

In the video, Liu Zhiwei stood on the podium amid the applause of everyone.His expression was blank, and he didn't say a word for ten seconds, holding the trophy in place like a statue.

"I—" Then Liu Zhiwei said in the silence, "I was so surprised. Because I didn't prepare a speech at all." He paused for so long that the translator translated the sentence without waiting for him to speak again Chinese translation in the past.

Everyone saw Liu Zhiwei's accident, and there was a lot of laughter at the scene.

"I didn't expect that I could get this award. I always thought that this award should belong to the director, the screenwriter, and our group... I didn't expect it to fall on me," Liu Zhiwei said smoothly. Since there was no speech script, He stared straight ahead, looking at the audience of nearly a thousand people at the venue.

"I am very grateful to Ms. Shen Tao who wrote the script, Ms. Feng Yi, the director who had the courage to make this film, Ms. Bai Feifei, an actor who participated in this film with me, and Mr. Chen Chufei and other crew members who were not able to be present. people. Together we tell a story about human rights, gender and equality, and our intention is simply to bring awareness and awareness to groups like this. We can’t eliminate all discrimination in the world, but we hope that our efforts will at least Let an audience have a new understanding of the misinterpreted 'justice', be more tolerant of the way people exist, and be more tolerant of the diversity of the world."

The camera panned to the audience, Bai Feifei and Feng Yi were already hugging each other excitedly.But the man who was one seat away from them kept holding his forehead with his hands, blocking the camera.

"...This honor belongs to everyone in the creative team, and also to all the audience who appreciate and understand this film. Thank you." Liu Zhiwei came off amidst applause, and the camera captured him returning to his seat amid the applause.Everyone saw him walking towards Feng Yi and the others, but the camera cut back to the host when he was about to contact them.

The audience watching the live broadcast didn't see Liu Zhiwei open his hands and embrace Jon who stood up tightly.

Liu Zhiwei didn't want to cry at first, but both Feng Yi and Bai Feifei cried, and even Jon sniffled, and Liu Zhiwei's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

But he quickly held back his tears, and when he wanted to let go of Jon, Jon hugged him tightly and didn't let go.

"Jon? Jon?" Liu Zhiwei called him in a low voice.

Jon made a "whoosh" sound.

"...You cry too much, Jon..." Liu Zhiwei lowered his body, forced Jon to sit on the seat under the eyes of the front and rear seats, and reached out to ask Feng Yi for a tissue.Before Feng Yi could react, Shen Tao first took out a handkerchief and put it on Liu Zhiwei's hand. Jon took the handkerchief and started blowing his nose.

Liu Zhiwei: "..." I was very excited and sad at first, but suddenly lost my mood.

Jon managed to stop his tears, and said with red eyes, "You are amazing."

The corner of Liu Zhiwei's mouth curled up uncontrollably: "Well, thank you."

That night, domestic news exploded like fireworks.From the content of the film "Cross Dress" to the main creative team, and then to Liu Zhiwei's achievements, the media dissected and analyzed almost every layer related to "Cross Dress".

"Cross-dressing" has no schedule in China, but after this award, the schedule of the film is almost confirmed.Groups that were afraid to cooperate with Liu Zhiwei because of Liu Yi's matter began to cast olive branches on Williams Studio again. Xu Ting was not easy alone, and now he is even more busy.

Phone calls came into Xu Ting's office one by one, and Xu Yuan sat aside and looked at Xu Tingle who was scratching his head anxiously: "I think you wish you could have eight arms."

"Shut up," Xu Ting yelled at him irritably, "I have to do both ends, and it's useless to have six more arms."

The two ends of Xu Ting, one is Liu Zhiwei, and the other is about the affairs of Zhao Zelin's group. The former is his job, while the latter's secrecy is too strong. The more people who know about it, the greater the possibility of leakage.

The time of making a wish was also very busy. Feng Shaoqun gave him a period of time to take back his hands and feet, but a company as big as Jinguang, with so many projects, and such a wide gray area, required him not to be alarmed for a while. Under Zhao Zelin's situation, it is very difficult to fully recover and cut off.

The sudden appearance of Liu Zhiwei's news is a good thing for making a wish.All eyes will be on Liu Zhiwei, including Zhao Zelin who pays special attention to him.The pressure of making a wish will definitely be much less.

"You're an entertainer who really stands up," Xu Wish leaned back, admiring Xu Ting's irascibility, and said, "The timing is just right. Now Li Jinyuan's TV series won't be popular anymore."

Sun Shuopeng and Li Jinyuan originally planned to produce a martial arts TV series before the end of October, and the promotion was launched within half a month. The audience's expectations were still on the way to be raised, but Liu Zhiwei kicked them directly. Kick broke.

As soon as the news comes out, who cares about their TV series?For at least half a month, Liu Zhiwei will be the top topic!

The TV series of Sun Shuopeng and Li Jinyuan was to introduce their new fighters, so that Liszt would have obvious candidates for the casting of "Death Knight" at the end of October. Originally, their advantages were obvious, but now Liu Zhiwei turned Dao Chaoche jumped several levels in an instant in terms of popularity and qualifications, and jumped directly into the first line!

As soon as "Assassin 2" airs in October, according to Liu Zhiwei's current achievements, he is the strongest candidate!

When Xu Ting heard the wish, his tightly frowning brows loosened.He let out a breath and said: "Not necessarily. Zhiwei's is a movie, and Li Jinyuan is indeed good at TV dramas. The crowd of TV dramas is bigger than that of movies. Zhiwei is popular now, but Li Jinyuan's TV dramas have been broadcast for two months. , it’s hard to say who will win the hearts of the people more.”

Although Xu Ting has poured cold water on himself here, the advantage still lightens the stone in his heart slightly.He put down the things in his hands, unplugged the phone line, and said, "Let's go, I'm quitting today, it's rare to celebrate."

As expected, as soon as the news of the Venice Film Festival came out, Liu Zhiwei was completely popular.This time it was not a black fire, but a real fire.Those who said that Liu Zhiwei was incompetent and just wanted to get back his reputation from Liu Yi were stunned by his award. Liu Zhiwei's number of fans doubled in an instant, and all Liu Zhiwei's related works were promoted—even including the ones he once had with him. Zeng Yilai played a Wanlan play in "All Supporting Actors".

Once a compatriot is honored internationally, everyone will dig out his best side and make him invincible, so there is nothing to be proud of.

Liu Zhiwei, who really won the award, just had a sumptuous dinner with Jon in the small town of Venice that night.

Due to the presence of Bai Feifei, Liu Zhiwei did not stay with the three women to communicate with the big names in the film festival.This was originally a good opportunity, but Liu Zhiwei had more important things to do.Jon just came over to attend Liu Zhiwei's awards ceremony. Since he was late, Liu Zhiwei knew that he had to go back to work and his task was far from complete.

The tavern is facing the river, and under the picked out oil lamps are the passing hand-cranked boats.Liu Zhiwei and Jon's dining table is made of wood with thick old cracks.There was a candle between them, which could only illuminate a square inch, and illuminate each other's faces.The people around are crowded, but the people at each table are trapped in their own small space by the candlelight.

The bartender served the beer, two thick glasses of old wine.Liu Zhiwei and Jon clinked glasses vigorously, and the foam splashed out.

"Cheers!" Jon shouted, taking a big gulp of beer, "I know my husband is the number one actor in the world!"

Liu Zhiwei laughed until his shoulders shook: "No...not..."

"He is!" Jon said earnestly, "He is serious and outstanding, independent and powerful, sexy and handsome..."

Liu Zhiwei continued with a smile: "His greatest achievement was to drag Jon Williams back to his post when he was trying to strike."

Jon's nose wrinkled.

"I really want to tell the world that you are mine." Jon said seriously.

A small stone fell from Liu Zhiwei's heart.He put down his glass and looked at Jon.

Under Liu Zhiwei's gaze, Jon let out a sigh of relief: "...I'm sorry. There was a problem with our trial calculation, and I'm not sure there are enough people on my side..."

Liu Zhiwei pressed his shoulder: "Hey, Jon, do you remember what I said? I am your husband. It will always be yours. There is no need to prove it with a wedding, it can bring me a surprise, But it doesn't have to. The most important part will always be you, Jon."

Jon was silent for a while, and said sadly: "I'm sorry." He once told Liu Zhiwei that nothing was more important to him than Liu Zhiwei, but in the current situation, he had to temporarily put Liu Zhiwei down because of the hurricane.He felt that he had violated his own words.

"Hey, hey," Liu Zhiwei took Jon's hand, "Comparing me to your work is ridiculous. To me, you are a part of me, and work is also a part of me. There is no room for any comparison." And the way. Sometimes we have to arrange some things first, but that does not mean that those things that are put in the back can be easily deleted. Those things that are deleted are the 'unimportant' things, and all the rest are A part of you is something that is 'important' to you."

Jon held Liu Zhiwei's hand tightly, and took another gulp of wine.He slammed his glass on the table: "No, I have to have our wedding a different way. I don't want my most important thing to get back because of someone else. It has to be at the top, Zeo, You have to be first. I never learned to compromise!"

The corner of Liu Zhiwei's mouth raised uncontrollably.He held Jon's fist with his left hand, and stroked the ring on his ring finger: "Then do you still have time to shoot our short film?"

"Of course!" Jon said immediately, "They wish I could leave the hurricane... I will let them do so."

Jon's eyes were cold, showing a face that Liu Zhiwei rarely saw.But Liu Zhiwei didn't feel uneasy.He used to feel strange and afraid of a side of Jon he didn't know well, but now that Jon only made him feel reliable and trustworthy.

Liu Zhiwei asked Jon softly in the candlelight: "Have you booked a flight back tonight?"

Jon stared at him and responded softly: "Yes."

"Don't be late when filming." Liu Zhiwei said.

"No." Jon said reluctantly and stood up.Liu Zhiwei put the tip on the table, put on his hat and followed Jon out of the tavern.

"I can go to the airport by myself, you should go back and meet those filmmakers." Jon stopped at the door of the tavern.He knows better than Liu Zhiwei what this great opportunity to communicate with many filmmakers means.He gave a knightly salute to Liu Zhiwei, and exaggeratedly said: "Please return to your throne, Your Majesty, your loyal knight will always stand behind you."

Liu Zhiwei was amused by him, and he didn't send it away, but watched Jon leave his sight.They obviously haven't been separated for a long time, but Liu Zhiwei has an urge to catch up.

"Hi, I seem to entrust my hometown to you..." Liu Zhiwei said to himself, walking the way he came.

Liu Zhiwei returned to his hotel late at night.He lay alone on the bed for a while and turned on his phone.There is a photo in the phone, which is the list he wrote to Jon at that time, and the list is the people he personally intends to invite at the wedding.

The list is not long, and it contains the most important people in his life in recent years.Now he had to tell them one by one—the wedding was cancelled, there was no need to come to Venice.

Liu Zhiwei began to edit text messages.All the excitement and joy of writing during the day have gradually disappeared.

Even though he told Jon that he was not comparable to work, but at this point, he felt that many things had changed.He has a bigger platform, and Jon is back in his own company.They seem to have taken a big step forward from the past, but Liu Zhiwei suddenly missed the small apartment in China, the flower wall in the apartment, and the two Lego portraits, and the room full of Jon. Plush toys.

It was he who encouraged Jon to return to the Hurricane, and it was he who made Jon not have to think about himself.He knew that Jon still loved him, but Liu Zhiwei was not sure how long this love could last.One year or two years?One month and two months?

When one day Jon's departure no longer makes him feel sad, will they still maintain their original heart?

Liu Zhiwei lay sideways on the bed, staring at the bright moonlight outside the window with his eyes open.

There was a sudden knock on the door at this moment.

Liu Zhiwei was almost taken aback. He glanced at his phone, which showed two o'clock in the morning.

"Who is it?" Liu Zhiwei walked to the door carefully with bare feet.There are no peepholes in the retro-style hotel, he opened the door slightly, and a hand came in suddenly.

Liu Zhiwei jumped back in fright, a tall man squeezed in and closed the door, his body was immediately exposed to the moonlight—"Jon?!"

Jon put his arms around Liu Zhiwei's head, and his lips fell on his lips, imprinting a bombarding kiss.

Jon moved forward again and again, while Liu Zhiwei backed away again and again, until he leaned against the bed.

"Jon..." Liu Zhiwei managed to catch his breath from that kiss, "Why are you here?!"

Jon pushed Liu Zhiwei down on the bed, supported him and said, "I boarded the plane."

"But suddenly I miss you so much,

"So I immediately ran down again."

Jon leaned down and slept beside Liu Zhiwei, hugging him tightly: "It took me a little time to find your place... But I haven't been able to sleep well for several nights, at least I want to sleep tonight Have a good night's sleep."

Liu Zhiwei suddenly turned over and stood on top of Jon, bowed his head and kissed his lips.His mobile phone fell to the ground, and the half-edited message failed to be sent.
