The actor decided to let go of himself

This autumn, Li Guning successfully won another Best Actor trophy at the Country L International Film Festival.

What is very dramatic is that, just like when he won the award for the first time, this time the award ceremony was still by the sea.Smelling the salty sea breeze, the moment Li Guning received the trophy in his hands, Li Guning suddenly felt that he had returned to seven years ago.

Back to when it all started.

From the stage to the screen, and from the screen back to the stage, in the past few months, Li Guning seems to have retraced his journey from childhood to adulthood.

Audiences who are familiar with Li Guning know that when Li Guning received the award, he always acted calmly—this was the case when he won the trophy for the first time.

But this time, Li Guning was very different.

He always felt that the artistic life of an actor is very long.At least before this year, Li Guning never considered the word "end", but now because of the existence of "Eternal Starlight", he suddenly has a different thinking about life.

And this time the award ceremony of the L International Film Festival seems to be particularly meaningful to him.

Today Li Guning is still very low-key wearing a simple black dress.

On his chest, pinned a black gemstone brooch.

After hearing the host read his name, Li Guning smiled and nodded towards the camera as usual, and then walked onto the stage calmly.

But a few minutes later, when he got another actor trophy, Li Guning reacted completely differently from usual.

He first bowed deeply to everyone, and then walked to the microphone.

Speaking of which, although there are many fans of Li Guning in this world, and everyone is looking forward to him winning this trophy, but... Few people look forward to Li Guning's award speech.

After all, every time he thanked all the crew members who could be named by name, and then stepped down in a low-key manner.

At first, this time, it seemed to be the same.

But after thanking the crew, Li Guning did not leave in a hurry.

Li Guning rarely shows himself in front of the camera, so this time, before he spoke, he pursed his lips a little shyly, then smiled and said: "Except for all the staff of "Peach Blossom Lu Village", I would also like to thank Mr. Yi Shangmu, if not for him, I would not have embarked on the road of film."

Yi Shangmu?

Hearing this name, everyone couldn't help being surprised.

Although Yi Shangmu has retreated behind the scenes for a long time, as an entertainment giant, he still accepted many interviews after retirement.

The audience who have always paid close attention to Li Guning also learned from those interviews that Li Guning was discovered by Yi Shangmu and personally invited to the company.

But everyone knows that although they know it, today is the first time Li Guning himself mentioned this matter.

Although the Country L Film Festival is one of the four major film festivals in the world, it doesn't seem to be that important to Li Guning...

Li Guning's eyes slowly swept across the audience, and finally fell on Duan Zhishu.

——As a sponsor, he still sat at the position closest to the stage this time.

Duan Zhishu smiled at Li Guning.

At this time, Li Guning said again: "At the beginning, I didn't have much confidence in whether I could act well. I also experienced confusion for a long time, but in general Say, I'm a very lucky man..."

Probably everyone will have a little bit of the idea of ​​secondary school.

Li Guning once felt that as an actor, whether it is a dancer or a film actor, he should hide himself behind the role.

He did, and was very successful.

But today Li Guning no longer does this.

He no longer hides himself behind the characters, but feels that those who live in different times and have different life situations are himself.

And this trophy is not only for the performance, but also for another part of my life hidden in the movie.

Today's Li Guning talks a lot.

He never thought of himself as a lucky person. After all, he was adopted by his family, fell ill, and grew up in a family with extremely poor financial conditions. He had already gotten the worst opening script.

But now, looking back at this juncture in life, Li Guning suddenly finds that there is not a single day in his life that is not exciting.

After talking about the movie, Li Guning once again turned his attention to Duan Zhishu.

At this time, the camera of the scene also fell on Duan Zhishu.

Before, Mustard Technology told the staff of the L Country Film Festival that Duan Zhishu intended to keep a low profile, so the director just now did not show Duan Zhishu a shot.

But now, they finally followed Li Guning's line of sight and moved the camera over.

The audience who were watching the live broadcast realized that Duan Zhishu was also at the closing ceremony!

The moment he saw Duan Zhishu, Li Guning didn't say much.He said that he was a little sad, suddenly smiled at Duan Zhishu, and then said softly: "Thank you."

After finishing speaking, Li Guning took two steps forward, and threw a large bouquet of flowers given to him by the organizing committee when the awards were just presented to the auditorium with one hand.

Li Guning's understanding of flowers is limited to roses and tulips.He didn't know what kind of flowers the organizing committee gave, he only knew that this large bouquet of flowers was very beautiful when squeezed together.

They drew a graceful arc in the air, and finally landed firmly in Duan Zhishu's hands.

This scene is like going back to many years ago.

……

After the closing ceremony of the Country L Film Festival, the Internet of Country A was really lively for a while.

Not only because Li Guning won the award, but also because of his "abnormal" acceptance speech.

However, netizens have guessed for a long time, and have not guessed why Li Guning has become so "abnormal" recently.

Although the Internet is very lively, Li Guning, who has entered the final rehearsal period of the dance drama, rarely has time to pay attention to the things on the Internet.He only occasionally learned from Mr. Yi, who is very well-informed about gossip, that recently, the anti-monopoly case between Duan Zhishu and the company has made good progress.

But in a blink of an eye, autumn became more and more intense.

The leaves outside the window changed from emerald green to thick gold, and finally fell slowly with the wind.

It was December in a blink of an eye.

The dance drama that Li Guning is rehearsing this time is called "An Autumn in the World" in Chinese. Before the official performance, the promotional poster of this dance drama has already been hung outside the door of the Grand Theater of E Country.

Because until now, "An Autumn in the World" has not officially announced whether there will be a tour performance.So most people think that Li Guning's role in this dance drama is just because he has not had a good movie script recently, and he wants to satisfy his regret of not being on stage for many years in a short time.

After the performance in country E, the performance should not continue.

After all, it is completely different from movies. If he wants to tour a dance drama, he must spend a lot of time, and it is also a physical challenge.

Li Guning's die-hard fans gathered here from different countries.

There are still many days before the premiere, but the theater is already full of fans who came to check in.

Fortunately, the E-country Grand Theater rehearsed in other venues early, so that they were not disturbed.

But even so, when the show was about to start, in order to adapt to the environment, Li Guning and all the actors still had a few makeup rehearsals in the theater in the middle of the night.

By the time everything was over, it was already four o'clock in the evening.

At this time, the streets of Country E were silent.

Li Guning and his colleagues walked out from the exit of the cast and crew, because it was late at night, and there was no one waiting for Li Guning to "get off work" after a long time.

And such a peaceful night also reminded Li Guning involuntarily of how many years ago, when he was still working at the theater, he would go home like this every night...

When Li Guning returned to the theater just now, his colleagues also felt a little uncomfortable, but after getting along for a while, the relationship between everyone and Li Guning has returned to what it was seven or eight years ago.

Now that the rehearsal is over, they walked out of the theater while chatting about what happened during the rehearsal just now.

And at this moment, one of Li Guning's colleagues suddenly stopped what he was saying, and lightly patted Li Guning's shoulder.

"Huh?" Li Guning's thoughts were interrupted by others, and he was still a little dazed.

"Look who is that person?" His colleague blinked at him lightly, and Li Guning finally looked in the direction his colleague was looking at belatedly.

...It was actually Duan Zhishu?

Li Guning was stunned for a moment, then reflexively ran towards Duan Zhishu.

"Duan Zhishu, why are you coming to the theater?" Li Guning frowned and asked, "Don't you want to rest?"

Duan Zhishu is different from him. Recently, Li Guning and his colleagues have almost reversed their biological clocks. Therefore, even though the rehearsal ended very late, they slept far more than eight hours during the day.

And Duan Zhishu, as usual, went to work diligently.

Not far away, seeing Li Guning and Duan Zhishu coming together, the colleagues who were chatting with him just now showed expressions of "I understand", smiled and left by another way.

In a blink of an eye, Li Guning and Duan Zhishu were the only ones left on the wide avenue.

Hearing Li Guning's words, Duan Zhishu said softly, "It's too late, I'm worried it's not safe."

Therefore, the street was too quiet at that time, although Duan Zhishu's voice was not loud, it reached Li Guning's ears well.

He smiled and said, "I'm so familiar with this place, there's no problem."

Duan Zhishu shook his head and didn't say much.

The trees planted in country E seem to be sycamore trees, and in late autumn, not all the leaves have fallen.

Although it was already December, the ground was still covered with a thick layer of leaves when a gust of wind blew.Li Guning stepped on it subconsciously while talking.

Hearing the rustling sound in his ear, Li Guning couldn't help laughing.

He is obviously used to staying in the same space with Duan Zhishu, but maybe the current scene is too similar to a few years ago, and Li Guning felt a little awkward for a while... Or maybe it wasn't embarrassment, but something else .

He hesitated for a while, and decided to find a topic to chat with Duan Zhishu.

"Is mustard all right now?"

"Not bad, the final result should be available soon."

"Well," Li Guning said after a pause, "The rehearsal of "A Autumn in the World" is also good, and it will be premiered on New Year's Eve..."

Duan Zhishu knew what he said.

Li Guning paused for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Duan Zhishu and asked, "If you are free, can you come and see?"

This time, Li Guning was inviting Duan Zhishu.

He didn't say "you can come if you are free", but said "if you are free, can you come and see?"

The performance this time has a very different meaning to Li Guning, because the distance between country E and country A is too far, so his grandfather is older and has never traveled so far. Grandma thought it over and decided not to come.

Besides them, there were only two "important people" that Li Guning could think of to invite.

One is his Bole Yishangmu.

And the other person Li Guning wanted to invite was Duan Zhishu who was by his side right now...

Of course, Duan Zhishu would not refuse.

He immediately smiled and said, "Where is Gu Ning going to give me a seat?"

"A seat?" Li Guning thought for a while and said, "Since you like to sit on the side, how about giving you the old seat this time?"

"Okay." Duan Zhishu nodded with a smile.

The two of them walked forward on the empty street while talking.

People in country E are used to getting up late, and it's still time for everyone to go to bed.But before he knew it, the sky not far away had begun to light up.

Li Guning and Duan Zhishu, who wanted to go home directly, stopped at the same spot.

——They were standing on a street running from east to west, and the end of this street was just the rising sun that had just been born.

Li Guning really did not expect that he would see the sunrise with Duan Zhishu today.

Shen Chen Hongri climbed up from afar and stopped on the other side of the street, as if he could touch it lightly by stretching out his hand...

The closer you get to the show, the faster time passes.

Not long after watching the sunrise that day, the premiere of "An Autumn in the World" arrived.

The night before the performance, Li Guning didn't even go home, he lived directly in the theater.

And half an hour before the performance, after the warm-up, Li Guning did not choose to play with his mobile phone for a while to relax like before. Instead, he stood in the main control hall and looked at the auditorium from a height.

The dance director of the National Grand Theater of E walked behind Li Guning, patted him on the shoulder lightly and said, "What's the matter, Guning? I remember that you wouldn't come here before your performance."

Li Guning smiled, turned around and said to his supervisor a little embarrassedly: "To be honest, maybe it's been too long since I've been on stage, and I'm a little nervous now."

"Don't be afraid, you have already stood on so many stages, why come back here will make you worry."

Li Guning stuck out his tongue, thought for a long time and finally said: "Isn't this a new start? I feel like... when I was a teenager, I came here for the first time."

Just as he was talking, Li Guning saw an old man in a light gray formal suit, surrounded by crowds, walked into the VIP box not far away—it was Yi Shangmu, and there was someone who followed him to the show behind him. Easy time sound.

The director who also saw Yi Shangmu smiled: "When Mr. Yi invited you to make a movie, I didn't agree. After all, not everyone can get good grades after changing careers. But looking at it now, you can There is a reason for becoming a giant in the industry. His vision is indeed much better than mine.”

Li Guning smiled at the director, and the two walked out of the main control room together.

Back then, the director had indeed been trying to keep him.

In fact, if it wasn't for family matters, 90.00% of Li Guning would have stayed on stage.

I don't know what I would be like now if I had chosen to take another path and stay on stage all the time?

Li Guning started to think wildly, and his state became much more relaxed.

He went backstage and began to prepare for the performance for a while.

This time, one-third of the audience who came to see the premiere of "An Autumn in the World" came from country A.Therefore, before the performance started, Li Guning also heard a few chats from the audience in the front row backstage.

"...I saw Mr. Yi Shangmu just now!"

"Where?"

"The VIP on the third floor... You said that Yi Shangmu is here, so Duan Zhishu, who has been staying with Li Guning in country E, will also come?"

"Sure hehe."

Tsk tsk tsk, it turns out that this group of people is still looking forward to Duan Zhishu.

Hearing what they said, Li Guning subconsciously followed the gap between the curtains and looked towards the corner where he had left a ticket for Duan Zhishu—it was still empty.

Although Li Guning knew that in order not to cause a commotion, Duan Zhishu would definitely come when "An Autumn in the World" was about to start, but thinking that Duan Zhishu would always come to the theater early in the past, sometimes he would even find time to sit in the theater. Li Guning couldn't help but feel a little regretful when reading two pages of the book while waiting for the show to start.

——Cough cough, in fact, when Duan Zhishu chased Li Guning to perform, Li Guning also "surreptitiously observed" this strange audience.

There are still 10 minutes until the official start of "A Autumn in the World".

Just when Li Guning was thinking, stop watching, a familiar figure finally appeared in front of his eyes.

Duan Zhishu is here!

It's winter now, Duan Zhishu is wearing a thick black overcoat and a large dark plaid scarf.With bangs that were slightly longer and deliberately lowered to cover a little of the eyes, Duan Zhishu, who came in from the side door and took one of the worst positions in the theater, hardly attracted anyone's attention.

No matter what, Duan Zhishu has been to Country E Grand Theater countless times.

The moment he sat in his seat and made an OK gesture towards Li Guning's position, the lights on the scene dimmed.

Li Guning was also patted lightly by his colleagues, and they retreated backstage together.

The first performance of "An Autumn in the World" has finally begun!

The dance costume on Li Guning's body is black, with layers of gauze superimposed, like a faint cloud of smoke.

The moment the bell rang beside his ears, Li Guning lay down slowly on the ground.

The backstage also went dark, and only a cold light blue light fell on Li Guning.

At this moment, Li Guning's heart beat extremely fast.

And why not the people in the audience?

Duan Zhishu, who was sitting next to him, heard that just before the performance of "An Autumn in the World" was about to start, two audience members not far from him were encouraging each other, saying that they must not scream for a while.

But when the curtain gradually opened, no one at the scene thought that way anymore.

Because everyone including Duan Zhishu, let alone forget to scream, they almost forgot to breathe.

The words "One Autumn in the World" were cast at the end of the stage.

Under the chasing light, Li Guning stood up gently like a puff of smoke when the wind blew.

After seven years, Li Guning returned to the stage, and he, who was once considered by Yi Shangmu to be born for the stage, did not live up to expectations.

This time, Li Guning is no longer the one who hides himself behind the character, but the one who integrates himself into the character.

The one-and-a-half-hour dance drama started like this.

Time didn't seem to take anything away, even though he was surrounded by top dancers who had been performing all the time, Li Guning, who hadn't danced for many years, still hadn't left behind at all.

Even if the chasing light on the stage no longer falls on him alone, even if everyone wears the same black clothes, he is still the eternal visual center.

In this performance, many people just came to see Li Guning, but when "An Autumn in the World" was actually staged, they had already forgotten about Li Guning.

Duan Zhishu didn't know if Li Guning was nervous or not, but he seemed to have heard the beating of his own heart...

Duan Zhishu hadn't watched the complete rehearsal of "A Autumn in the World" before, but he had heard Li Guning repeatedly play the background music of the dance drama at home.

From the moment "An Autumn in the World" started, the people at the scene completely forgot the existence of time.

After an unknown amount of time, Duan Zhishu unconsciously got up when he heard a familiar melody, turned around and walked towards the passageway on the side of the theater.

Sitting on the far side, he didn't bother anyone.

"Sorry, please let me..."

He whispered to the security personnel standing by the passage.

And before the man could say anything to stop him, he raised his head and saw that familiar face...and let Duan Zhishu go.

The next moment, Duan Zhishu, who was not an employee of the Grand Theater of Country E, but who was as familiar with the place as the employees, walked up the passage to the backstage familiarly.

He had to be the first to give Li Guning a hug after "An Autumn in the World" ended.

A few minutes later, the music reached its climax. The audience, who had completely integrated into the atmosphere of the scene, didn't realize it at all. More than an hour passed just like that.

And with the last bell, Li Guning completed the last spin, and the lights of the Grand Theater of Country E finally went dark.

The heavy velvet curtain was slowly drawn up, and he, who was physically exhausted, slowly knelt down on the carpeted stage.

At this time, Li Guning forgot to adjust his movements, and even being extremely tired, he hadn't realized that he should be happy for the smooth debut.

In the darkness, a person suddenly came over and gently took his hand.

Li Guning was startled at first, and then reacted immediately——

It's Duan Zhishu!

How did he run onto the stage!
