A different director [entertainment circle]
Chapter 117 Chapter 117 Banquet
Because there are two mainland films shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival this year, and Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang have bloody physiques. Countless people follow the real-time news of Cannes through various channels.
When the news that Xie Beiyang won the best actor of the Cannes Film Festival came back to China, it immediately caused a sensation in the domestic film and television circles!
This is the third Chinese actor to win the Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival!The youngest Chinese, the second in mainland China!
These prefixes are enough to prove the gold content of this actor, and these media can't exaggerate it.
Of course, the most excited ones are the fans of Xie Beiyang!
They have waited too long for this day.
Qin Yan didn't know that it was because of his own reasons that he founded the two websites Weiweidou and Waterdrop Video, and fought against pirated resources, making the Internet in this world develop more rapidly.
It is also because of the existence of global satellite networks in this world, which has made the competition of Internet companies more intense. Countless Internet companies have survived the fittest, and the Internet companies that are more popular in the market have been selected.
Anyway, in 2009 Huaguo already had quite a variety of Internet entertainment methods, including microblogs, post bars, forums, etc., all of which went their own way.
But this time, the news that Xie Beiyang won the Best Actor of the Cannes Film Festival immediately made the domestic media boil all night, and there was no need to wait for the news from the Rooster Kingdom the next day.
For so many years, Xie Beiyang has never managed his own fans and movie fan groups.
On the one hand, he doesn't want to lose himself in the praise of movie fans, on the other hand, Xie Beiyang tries to avoid appearing on occasions that have nothing to do with work.
Xie Beiyang's self-positioning has always been very clear, just an ordinary actor.
Therefore, Xie Beiyang has the style of an old-school filmmaker at a young age, staying away from controversy and enjoying himself.
Because of this, even though Xie Beiyang's status in the film industry is there, there are fewer and fewer real young people who know Xie Beiyang.
After all, there are so many movies and TV series in China every year, like "Earth Fortress", which only comes out once every two years, and Xie Beiyang is not an absolute leading role, and there are fewer and fewer people who praise him.
So Xie Beiyang's fans have always been very pitiful, and they will be hated by others if they promote their favorite actors on the Internet.
"Where did the [-]-line supporting actor come from", "Are there any representative works? I'm not very familiar with it", "He just made movies a few years ago, who still watches his movies now"...
Coupled with the power debate that was forcibly suppressed back then, Xie Beiyang's fans have long been suffocated.
The news of Xie Beiyang's award this time can be said to have ignited years of anger. This is an opportunity for Xie Beiyang's fans to feel proud.
You must know that the fans in the entertainment and film industry who are basically as Buddhist as Xie Beiyang, they can be said to have suffered all kinds of insults over the years.
After all, no matter who talks about Xie Beiyang, they will only say that Xie Beiyang is a good-looking supporting actor, and few people can objectively evaluate Xie Beiyang's acting skills.
This time is different, Cannes is one of the three major film festivals in the world!
Movie fans began to promote their idols crazily. Although Xie Beiyang's film and television works are not many, every one of them is remarkable.
The innocent and innocent young master in "Laughing Jianghu"; the ideal criminal policeman in "The Gatekeeper", and Shen Chunan in "Earth Fortress" who is burdened with shackles that others cannot understand...
Each character has a large number of video and picture materials.
I have to say that putting all Xie Beiyang's works in recent years together will indeed cause visual shock.
"Is this the actor of the Cannes Film Festival! It may not be too handsome, right? Why haven't I seen this movie."
"I seem to understand what acting is. These expressions and eyes are so vivid!"
"When will a new movie be released? This time I will definitely go to the cinema to watch it!"
Moreover, Xie Beiyang's popularity with passers-by is already very good, and countless passers-by will leave comments on Xie Beiyang's acting skills.
In just a few minutes, Xie Beiyang dominated the Huaguo network.
Of course, the movie fans also have a little bit of regret, that is, "Born in the Silt", which they are most looking forward to, has not been revealed in any news, and they have not even seen Xie Beiyang's makeup photos in the movie.
Now they just want to know when "Born in Mud" will be released, and they will definitely go to the cinema to support it.
Many people thought that "Born in the Silt" had already achieved its goal for tonight, but who knew that Qin Yan would not be left alone.
"The film that won the jury prize is... "Born in the Silt" directed by Qin Yan!"
The jury award is already considered the highest award after the Palme d'Or, and this is the second award that has been won under the premise that "Born in Silt" has already won the best actor.
In this way, "Born in Silt" can be said to be the biggest winner of this year's Cannes Film Festival.
So when the results were announced, even Qin Yan was stunned.
Even when the camera panned to Qin Yan, Qin Yan was still peeking at Xie Beiyang, the little boy holding his award and couldn't put it down.
Qin Yan's first reaction was that he could hug Xie Beiyang again in front of everyone, and Qin Yan did so.
"When we got home, we put the trophy together."
"Yes." Xie Beiyang agreed in a low voice but excitedly.
Because Xie Beiyang had just won the best actor, Qin Yan no longer had any expectations, so Qin Yan was more calm at this time.
He walked to the podium without any haste. At this moment, the cameras in the hands of the reporters were aimed at Qin Yan and shot frantically.
Just like Xie Beiyang's worry just now, if only Xie Beiyang wins the "Best Actor", Xie Beiyang's limelight will definitely overshadow the movie and Qin Yan temporarily.
This time Xie Beiyang is the starring role, and there will definitely be a saying that "Xie Beiyang made the movie "Born in Silt"".
But the situation is completely different now. The jury award represents the quality of "Born in the Silt", and Qin Yan's achievements over the years have once again been recognized.
Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian are closely related to Qin Yan. I am afraid that Qin Yan's nickname of "Actor's DreamWorks" will spread again.
And with the "Jury Award", it is undoubtedly the biggest publicity for "Born in Silt".
When Qin Yan stood on the podium and looked at everyone below, everyone felt Qin Yan's terrifying strength.
Qin Yan smiled as he should:
"It's surprising that the judges gave me this award. When I first saw the script of "Born in Silt", my heart was already moved. Although many people doubted me, can a young guy be able to shoot With such a heavy movie, judging from the current results, everyone should still recognize me."
When Qin Yan finished his self-deprecating sentence, many people present laughed out loud.
Who doesn't know "Born in the Silt" and the suspicion Qin Yan received before?Didn't the judges including the Cannes Film Festival doubt the quality of "Born in Silt" because of Qin Yan's age?
Qin Yan did not continue this topic, but said:
"I believe that the problems reflected in "Born in Silt" are definitely not only in my country..."
"This is a common problem faced by human society... I hope that the works I shoot can bring a little reflection to the world, so I will be satisfied."
After finishing speaking, Qin Yan calmly stepped off the stage amidst cheers. Many people saw in Qin Yan that those old-fashioned directors have a calm and calm attitude.
This time, Qin Yan's acceptance speech was not so earth-shattering, not even as shocking as the acceptance speech of "Laughing Jianghu" back then. In fact, it was Qin Yan's intention.
Because Qin Yan is working hard to weaken the attributes of the Hua country in "Born in the Silt".
"Born in the Muck" he shot this time reflects a very profound theme, which must jump out of the darkness of society and expose it to the sun.
However, the background story of "Born in Mud" happened in the mainland of Huaguo, and he didn't want his film to bring criticism to the motherland.
The problem of "class/class solidification/transformation" is a common problem all over the world, and it is not a problem that only occurs in any country or nation.
In fact, anyone with a little brain knows this, but there must be people with ulterior motives at that time, using this to discredit Qin Yan and Hua Guo.
Qin Yan also hopes that he treats the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and hopes that everything is because of his own worries, but it is still in case of emergency.
On the other hand, Qin Yan still wants to continue to strive for box office in the international market.
If Qin Yan keeps emphasizing that he is a Chinese-speaking director at this time, what he is responding to is the issue of China.
What would the potential audience think-who wants to read a story about a nation that they are completely unfamiliar with.
"Born in the Silt" has not been officially released in China, and most of the media still don't know the content and theme of "Born in the Silt". The Cannes Film Festival is quite considerate about the film's confidentiality measures.
Many films want to come to Cannes for gilding and release. If the plot information is revealed at the film festival, will anyone dare to come to Cannes in the future?
Qin Yan said these words just for a vaccination.
After the Cannes Film Festival adjourned, Qin Yan held a celebration dinner with all the crew of "Born in Silt". Of course, the dinner was also open to all other filmmakers.
When Qin Yan first booked the most luxurious hotel nearby, someone in the crew persuaded Qin Yan:
"Even if all the domestic actors and directors come, they don't need such a big venue."
Qin Yan didn't explain it at the time, but only now can he see how high Qin Yan's status in the international film world is.
In the past, Chinese-language films participating in the film festival, as long as they were shortlisted, they would organize such a dinner no matter whether they won an award or not. After all, being shortlisted is already a great recognition for the film.
It's just that the guests who participated in the dinner at the end were all Chinese people from Chinese-language movies, and there were basically no foreign guests.
No way, even in the Cannes Film Festival, except for a very small number of films that can both achieve box office results, the final box office results of most of the films are just like that.
The downturn in the international box office market for Chinese-language films is not a matter of a day or two, let alone Chinese-language literary films.
There is no way for your film to bring income to overseas film companies, and these companies will not ignore you.Few overseas actors will take the initiative to seek cooperation with Chinese-speaking directors, most of them are Asian film circles.
This is the market rule of Chi/Guo/Guodian, and everyone is used to the internal carnival after every film festival.
But this time "Born in Mud" is different.
Many people even greeted Qin Yan in advance, regardless of the result of the award, they must be invited to the final celebration banquet.
Qin Yan came to Cannes half a month in advance, not for sightseeing or watching dance clubs, Qin Yan has been working hard to expand his social circle.
Of course, many actors took the initiative to find Qin Yan, although the main story of "Fortress Earth" will soon be over.But they believe that Qin Yan, who has tasted the sweetness of the box office in the international market, is absolutely impossible to be willing to only make movies in the Huaguo market.
They all want to get in touch with Qin Yan, and they can get a part in it by then.
And tonight, after "Born in Mud" won the "Best Actor" and "Jury Award", it immediately became the focus of everyone, and countless media, distributors, and actors flocked to it.
In the end, at the celebration banquet of "Born in Silt", more than half of the people were white and black.
All the Chinese filmmakers who came to the celebration banquet were in a daze for the first time. Didn't they accidentally come to the dinner where they won the "Palme d'Or" and "White Ribbon"?
But when they saw Qin Yan, a group of internationally renowned filmmakers, they realized deeply——
This is Qin Yan, a Chinese director who attracted the attention of the international film industry.
Qin Yan kept communicating with the guests, and the time of communication was also related to the status of the other party.On this occasion, no one except a fool would forcefully twist and communicate with Qin Yan.
Unless you don't want to mess around anymore, there won't be any stunned young people who recommend themselves.
Qin Yan didn't know how many times he had said the same thing, and even he felt his cheeks were a little stiff.
But when the person in front of him came to Qin Yan with a wine glass, Qin Yan's fatigue was swept away. He didn't expect that the other party would also come to the celebration banquet of "Born in Silt".
It is Olivia, the chairman of the jury of this Cannes Film Festival.
It stands to reason that judges generally do not participate in movie celebrations, especially award-winning movies.If the media makes a fuss about this, it is easy to turn black and white.
So Qin Yan cheered up and greeted Olivia.
The two exchanged a few words, and Olivia said to Qin Yan:
"The "Born in Silt" you made this time is really surprising, but you used too many things from commercial movies."
I didn't expect that Olivia would ask this question so directly, and Qin Yan didn't evade it. After a moment of silence, he said frankly:
"That's true. But these things can make "Born in Mud" more enjoyable to watch, and make it a better box office."
The "things" mentioned by the two include scene transitions, plot foreshadowing, story narration and so on.
If Olivia were to make "Born in the Muck", she would definitely not design so many humorous plots in the movie, and she would not even deliberately set up a reversal of the plot.
These designs will indeed make ordinary audiences more interested, and it is these designs that break the overall sense of "Born in Silt".
After the movie is over, many people will miss the fun of the movie's plot instead of thinking about the theme under "Born in Silt".
Olivia is more inclined to gradually accumulate a sense of oppression, and it all erupts at the last moment.
The more tragic the explosion, the more it can leave traces in people's memory.
When the entire jury discussed the final list of winners, there were constant differences.
Some people think that these problems in "Born in the Silt" are because Qin Yan's transformation is not thorough enough, and he is still habitually using commercial film plots to attract audiences.
But Olivia always thinks that this is not the reason, because Qin Yan's arrangement of the plot is really too smooth, and he is not as old-fashioned as he should be at his age.
Olivia believed that Qin Yan did it on purpose, but she had no way of knowing why it was designed this way.
Olivia, as the chairman of the review, of course cannot have any contact with Qin Yan in advance.Now that the results are announced, the confusion in Olivia's heart has not increased but decreased, and it is impossible to wait until tomorrow, so she came to the celebration banquet of "Born in the Mud" without hesitation.
Qin Yan continued to explain to Olivia:
"Because from the very beginning, the movie "Born in Silt" wanted to attract more audiences to the cinema. All my designs are to make it more suitable for the market without changing the core of the story."
When Olivia heard Qin Yan's answer, she immediately understood, so that all the sense of disobedience in the movie could be explained.
But this doesn't mean she accepts Qin Yan's reasons. In her opinion, Qin Yan is completely compromising with the box office and the market.
She said with some anger and dissatisfaction:
"Did you know that by making such a choice you miss out on the possibility of making a better film, which is why "Born in Mud" only won the Grand Jury Prize."
"Of course I know."
When Qin Yan said these words, his expression was very calm, without any frustration, this was definitely not an act of faking.
This made Olivia feel particularly surprised. She had never seen any director who could be so calm in front of the "Palme d'Or".
What I said just now clearly told Qin Yan that he missed the "Golden Palm" because of the box office.
Olivia lowered her voice, even putting the red wine glass aside:
"I don't know what are you thinking?"
Olivia suddenly felt that it was worthless for her to say so much for "Born in the Mud".If she knew that Qin Yan was such a businessman after the box office, she would definitely not try her best to help Qin Yan win more votes.
Who knew that Qin Yan continued:
"Because from the very beginning, I just wanted to make "Born in Silt" seen by more people. It has value only if more people see it."
"Director Olivia, why do you think we need movies?"
"Because film is art, it can transcend time and space."
Qin Yan nodded approvingly, and said
"That's right. I made the movie "Born in Silt" to make the education of rural children in our country more important."
"If this movie is just a carnival for a few people, even if it wins the Palme d'Or, how many people do you think will watch it? How much influence will it have in society?"
Now it was Olivia's turn to be silent, although directors like them always like to use the awards of the film festival to flaunt themselves.
But they are not depressed in their hearts. They have thought about many reasons why the excellent movies that have been selected after layers of professional selection have not been recognized by movie audiences in the end.
For example, "All art needs training to understand", "The heavier the thing, the farther it is from the public's aesthetics", "Eternal art is destined to transcend fashion"...
There are too many similar explanations in the art world, and many times the so-called "art" has become a carnival for a small number of people.
Facing Olivia's silence, Qin Yan had already had his own thoughts, and continued to say to Olivia:
"From the very beginning, I wanted to let more people see "Born in Silt". If I made a work that could win the Palme d'Or, but only tens of thousands of people entered the theater in the end. What do you think of such a movie? How many people can discuss it?"
There are many similar movies in the world, such as the well-known "Twelve Angry Men", "Rashomon" and so on. These movies are recognized by filmmakers all over the world, and reflect many profound human nature and social problems.
Many people even list them as "100 Must-See Movies", but in fact, no matter how the filmmakers tout them, these movies are still not popular.
Comparable to "Harry Potter", "Avengers", "Pirates of the Caribbean"?
Therefore, Qin Yan's positioning of "Born in Silt" is not a famous movie in history, but a work that can attract everyone's attention.
After listening to Qin Yan's words, Olivia understood a little bit and asked:
"Is it worth paying so much for a movie?"
The effort here refers to the fact that Qin Yan missed the "Palme d'Or".
If Qin Yan didn't use so many commercial film shooting techniques to make "Born in Silt" more artistic, the Palme d'Or would most likely be in Qin Yan's pocket.
Then Qin Yan will become the youngest "Palme d'Or" director in history, and he is enough to leave his name in the history of the international film industry.
Qin Yan smiled and shook his head:
"What's not worth it, filmmaking has brought me enough."
"Being a person can't be too greedy. If you want everything and lose your original love for movies, you will be dragged down instead."
Olivia was really convinced now, she said to Qin Yan:
"Director Qin Yan, it is really a very lucky thing for Chinese-language films to have a director like you."
Qin Yan waved his hand suddenly and said:
"What does this matter have to do with me?"
Now Olivia was a little confused, she could tell that what Qin Yan said just now were all true thoughts, why would Qin Yan say that it had nothing to do with her?
Qin Yan said:
"These words are what he told me."
Olivia followed Qin Yan's gaze, and it was Xie Beiyang who was constantly communicating with the surrounding actors.
Seeing Qin Yan looking at Xie Beiyang, Olivia vaguely knew something, she said with a smile:
"you two……"
Qin Yan didn't go on talking, Olivia was very interested and didn't continue to discuss this topic.
What Qin Yan and Olivia said just now was Xie Beiyang's comfort to him when he was in the most pain.
When a person is in a dead end, it is actually difficult to listen to the dissuasion of others.Whether this person is your friend, teacher or relative.
If a person walks into the corner, don't think about how to pull him back.
The first thing to do is to make him divert his attention.It is obvious that Xie Beiyang has an advantage in this respect that no one else can match.
Xie Beiyang kissed Qin Yan directly at that time, letting Qin Yan vent all the obsession in his heart in another way.
When Qin Yan was lying on /bed/ and began to think about life, he told Qin Yan a lot of truths.
Qin Yan's ears were almost hearing cocoons, Xie Beiyang forcibly said in Qin Yan's ear:
"These are the great truths you told me back then, have you forgotten?"
Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang are each other's salvation.
When the news that Xie Beiyang won the best actor of the Cannes Film Festival came back to China, it immediately caused a sensation in the domestic film and television circles!
This is the third Chinese actor to win the Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival!The youngest Chinese, the second in mainland China!
These prefixes are enough to prove the gold content of this actor, and these media can't exaggerate it.
Of course, the most excited ones are the fans of Xie Beiyang!

Qin Yan didn't know how many times he had said the same thing, and even he felt his cheeks were a little stiff.
But when the person in front of him came to Qin Yan with a wine glass, Qin Yan's fatigue was swept away. He didn't expect that the other party would also come to the celebration banquet of "Born in Silt".
It is Olivia, the chairman of the jury of this Cannes Film Festival.
It stands to reason that judges generally do not participate in movie celebrations, especially award-winning movies.If the media makes a fuss about this, it is easy to turn black and white.
So Qin Yan cheered up and greeted Olivia.
The two exchanged a few words, and Olivia said to Qin Yan:
"The "Born in Silt" you made this time is really surprising, but you used too many things from commercial movies."
I didn't expect that Olivia would ask this question so directly, and Qin Yan didn't evade it. After a moment of silence, he said frankly:
"That's true. But these things can make "Born in Mud" more enjoyable to watch, and make it a better box office."
The "things" mentioned by the two include scene transitions, plot foreshadowing, story narration and so on.
If Olivia were to make "Born in the Muck", she would definitely not design so many humorous plots in the movie, and she would not even deliberately set up a reversal of the plot.
These designs will indeed make ordinary audiences more interested, and it is these designs that break the overall sense of "Born in Silt".
After the movie is over, many people will miss the fun of the movie's plot instead of thinking about the theme under "Born in Silt".
Olivia is more inclined to gradually accumulate a sense of oppression, and it all erupts at the last moment.
The more tragic the explosion, the more it can leave traces in people's memory.
When the entire jury discussed the final list of winners, there were constant differences.
Some people think that these problems in "Born in the Silt" are because Qin Yan's transformation is not thorough enough, and he is still habitually using commercial film plots to attract audiences.
But Olivia always thinks that this is not the reason, because Qin Yan's arrangement of the plot is really too smooth, and he is not as old-fashioned as he should be at his age.
Olivia believed that Qin Yan did it on purpose, but she had no way of knowing why it was designed this way.
Olivia, as the chairman of the review, of course cannot have any contact with Qin Yan in advance.Now that the results are announced, the confusion in Olivia's heart has not increased but decreased, and it is impossible to wait until tomorrow, so she came to the celebration banquet of "Born in the Mud" without hesitation.
Qin Yan continued to explain to Olivia:
"Because from the very beginning, the movie "Born in Silt" wanted to attract more audiences to the cinema. All my designs are to make it more suitable for the market without changing the core of the story."
When Olivia heard Qin Yan's answer, she immediately understood, so that all the sense of disobedience in the movie could be explained.
But this doesn't mean she accepts Qin Yan's reasons. In her opinion, Qin Yan is completely compromising with the box office and the market.
She said with some anger and dissatisfaction:
"Did you know that by making such a choice you miss out on the possibility of making a better film, which is why "Born in Mud" only won the Grand Jury Prize."
"Of course I know."
When Qin Yan said these words, his expression was very calm, without any frustration, this was definitely not an act of faking.
This made Olivia feel particularly surprised. She had never seen any director who could be so calm in front of the "Palme d'Or".
What I said just now clearly told Qin Yan that he missed the "Golden Palm" because of the box office.
Olivia lowered her voice, even putting the red wine glass aside:
"I don't know what are you thinking?"
Olivia suddenly felt that it was worthless for her to say so much for "Born in the Mud".If she knew that Qin Yan was such a businessman after the box office, she would definitely not try her best to help Qin Yan win more votes.
Who knew that Qin Yan continued:
"Because from the very beginning, I just wanted to make "Born in Silt" seen by more people. It has value only if more people see it."
"Director Olivia, why do you think we need movies?"
"Because film is art, it can transcend time and space."
Qin Yan nodded approvingly, and said
"That's right. I made the movie "Born in Silt" to make the education of rural children in our country more important."
"If this movie is just a carnival for a few people, even if it wins the Palme d'Or, how many people do you think will watch it? How much influence will it have in society?"
Now it was Olivia's turn to be silent, although directors like them always like to use the awards of the film festival to flaunt themselves.
But they are not depressed in their hearts. They have thought about many reasons why the excellent movies that have been selected after layers of professional selection have not been recognized by movie audiences in the end.
For example, "All art needs training to understand", "The heavier the thing, the farther it is from the public's aesthetics", "Eternal art is destined to transcend fashion"...
There are too many similar explanations in the art world, and many times the so-called "art" has become a carnival for a small number of people.
Facing Olivia's silence, Qin Yan had already had his own thoughts, and continued to say to Olivia:
"From the very beginning, I wanted to let more people see "Born in Silt". If I made a work that could win the Palme d'Or, but only tens of thousands of people entered the theater in the end. What do you think of such a movie? How many people can discuss it?"
There are many similar movies in the world, such as the well-known "Twelve Angry Men", "Rashomon" and so on. These movies are recognized by filmmakers all over the world, and reflect many profound human nature and social problems.
Many people even list them as "100 Must-See Movies", but in fact, no matter how the filmmakers tout them, these movies are still not popular.
Comparable to "Harry Potter", "Avengers", "Pirates of the Caribbean"?
Therefore, Qin Yan's positioning of "Born in Silt" is not a famous movie in history, but a work that can attract everyone's attention.
After listening to Qin Yan's words, Olivia understood a little bit and asked:
"Is it worth paying so much for a movie?"
The effort here refers to the fact that Qin Yan missed the "Palme d'Or".
If Qin Yan didn't use so many commercial film shooting techniques to make "Born in Silt" more artistic, the Palme d'Or would most likely be in Qin Yan's pocket.
Then Qin Yan will become the youngest "Palme d'Or" director in history, and he is enough to leave his name in the history of the international film industry.
Qin Yan smiled and shook his head:
"What's not worth it, filmmaking has brought me enough."
"Being a person can't be too greedy. If you want everything and lose your original love for movies, you will be dragged down instead."
Olivia was really convinced now, she said to Qin Yan:
"Director Qin Yan, it is really a very lucky thing for Chinese-language films to have a director like you."
Qin Yan waved his hand suddenly and said:
"What does this matter have to do with me?"
Now Olivia was a little confused, she could tell that what Qin Yan said just now were all true thoughts, why would Qin Yan say that it had nothing to do with her?
Qin Yan said:
"These words are what he told me."
Olivia followed Qin Yan's gaze, and it was Xie Beiyang who was constantly communicating with the surrounding actors.
Seeing Qin Yan looking at Xie Beiyang, Olivia vaguely knew something, she said with a smile:
"you two……"
Qin Yan didn't go on talking, Olivia was very interested and didn't continue to discuss this topic.
What Qin Yan and Olivia said just now was Xie Beiyang's comfort to him when he was in the most pain.
When a person is in a dead end, it is actually difficult to listen to the dissuasion of others.Whether this person is your friend, teacher or relative.
If a person walks into the corner, don't think about how to pull him back.
The first thing to do is to make him divert his attention.It is obvious that Xie Beiyang has an advantage in this respect that no one else can match.
Xie Beiyang kissed Qin Yan directly at that time, letting Qin Yan vent all the obsession in his heart in another way.
When Qin Yan was lying on /bed/ and began to think about life, he told Qin Yan a lot of truths.
Qin Yan's ears were almost hearing cocoons, Xie Beiyang forcibly said in Qin Yan's ear:
"These are the great truths you told me back then, have you forgotten?"
Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang are each other's salvation.
