Spring wasted

This year’s New Year and Spring Festival are so close, Jiang Kuang and Liang Chi didn’t celebrate the festival specially, and their work schedules were full. Before the Spring Festival, Liang Chi went to several variety shows, all of which were recorded for a single episode or one or two episodes, with a slow life Some of them do housework, which is not tiring and the cost is considerable. Some programs invited him to be a resident Tang Zhao, but he refused for him. "Chess Pieces" is currently being filmed, and it still needs to focus on producing works. It is too time-consuming to be a resident variety show , and once the label of a variety show cafe is hung, it is not easy to tear it off.

Liang Chi also attended a TV New Year's Eve party on New Year's Eve. He didn't have a job during the Spring Festival, so he was free for a week. The two went to have a reunion dinner with Lin Baoshan on New Year's Eve, and stayed with her for one night. Jiang's old house is now Only Li Baoshan and Chen Chuan live there, Jiang Rugu hasn't come back for a long time, and has been living in the second room, busy dealing with the procuratorate and saving the group company he created.

The next morning, Jiang Kuang drove Lin Baoshan to the Buddhist monastery. Chen Chuan helped her pack a lot of luggage. It seemed that she was going to stay for a long time. After settling in, the two went directly to Fujiwara and Wen Yu's homestay, where they stayed until the holiday. Finish.

On the other hand, with the final deadline stuck, Yu also sent the edited film to the jury of the Academy Awards. He was tired enough, so he took a breath and started working on the theatrical version.

Tang Zhao had already chatted with the distributor of the art theaters for several rounds. Since Xu Youtian was settled, he hadn't encountered much resistance in this regard. Go to Jinyulan to receive an award, it still has some influence in China.

Tang Zhao generally laughed at this kind of suggestion and passed it. He and Jiang Kuang saw it very clearly. Shit, Xu Youtian circled things for self-entertainment. Whoever loves to play will play with him. Look down on.

Now that the movie has not been released, the theater version has to be cut and submitted for review, and then go to the theater for scheduling. It is estimated that there will be no play until after the Southern France Film Festival in May.

"Chess Pieces" has a platform to help you collect games to find money, and it is progressing smoothly. The script is being worked on, and it is planned to be a high-quality drama within [-] episodes. Several new directors Jiang Kuang and Tang Zhao are also in contact. They are interested in the production Still in control.

Liang Chi stared at the novel several times. The protagonist is a black-bellied, gentle scum, a planner, and at the same time, he is also someone else's pawn, but he doesn't know it.

The image is far from his own, this time it is a real test of acting skills.

"Fu Xing" was written by Jiang Kuang for him. He just needs to follow along, but this time it won't work. Running in, getting the new director, producer, and actor partner to recognize him is a heavy mountain that he must overcome.

Liang Chi likes this state before joining the group. He is very quiet and devoted to the present moment wholeheartedly. Whether it is reading the script, following up on the progress of the new project's filming, or meeting the new director, he is very excited about the upcoming film. Everything is full of hope.

At the beginning of March, the start-up funds for "Chess Pieces" were in place, the project was officially approved, and the first draft of the script was released, and each team took their positions. The director of this cooperation is very young. The director, especially Qingzhang Matsumoto, has a special love for suspense and crime films. Jiang Kuang is very optimistic about him. This is his appointed director.

At the end of the month, news came from the Film Awards Organizing Committee that "Fu Xing" had been nominated for many times, and the crew was invited to attend the awards ceremony in Hong Kong.

The official email was sent directly to the official mailbox of the producer. Jiang Kuang and Tang Zhao were the first to know about it, followed by Yu Ye and Guan Pingshan. The matter of informing Liang Chi naturally fell on Jiang Kuang. I told him to call him to the company, but I changed my mind temporarily.

This news is too happy, he wants to keep it well and make someone happy.

Liang Chi was sweating in the gym in the afternoon. It was just in the evening after taking Ashtanga class. After taking a shower, he sent Jiang Kuang a message in a coquettish tone: "Brother, are you free to go home tonight? What do you want to eat? I'll go purchase."

This is the meal he cooked by Jiang Kuang, and he was too embarrassed to ask for it, so he put on a sheepish look, I went shopping, I prepared it for you, I also washed the dishes, except I can cook, I can do anything.

After so long, he still doesn’t know how to cook, and Jiang Kuang doesn’t let him do it. Anyway, when eating at home is when both of them are free, Jiang Kuang can get it done with a quick swipe. He never feels that his family has to cook. "virtuous", "masculine virtue" requirements without so many things.

A small celebration party is going on in Yu Ye's studio on the third floor. Tang Zhao is a little crazy, and champagne is sprinkled on several people. Jiang Kuang hides and sends a message to Liang Chi: "Anything is fine. You can buy whatever you want. I can do it." Do.

Tsk, Liang Chi smiled on the other end.

They haven't eaten at home for a long time. Recently, Liang Chi ran a variety show commercial to see the new director participating in the preparation of the new crew. It was basically a working meal arranged by the partner, and there were a lot of people.

Stars are like this, they don't have much personal space and time, such a short period of busy days, but it makes him miss the time when he just reunited with Jiang Kuang and lived in his house.

At that time, the two of them were free, and they could spend a lot of time together. Even though they were not lovers, the cautious temptation, the anxiety of wanting to get close but afraid of being pushed away by the other party, thinking about it now, Liang Chi felt very beautiful.

He put on his mask and hat and went to the fresh food supermarket downstairs to pick up a bunch of food. With his hands full, he started processing the ingredients and making preparations when he got home. He didn't have time to swipe his phone all the way.

In fact, news that "Fu Xing" was shortlisted for multiple Academy Award nominations was on the hot search, but he didn't have time to see it.

This Jiang Kuang withdrew after a small fight with a few people, and then withdrew first. Other employees in the company also heard that the film was shortlisted, and they all crowded to the third floor to join in the fun. Someone shouted: "Why don't you call Xiao Brother Liang come here together?"

The person next to him bumped into him: "Do you have eyesight? I didn't see that our Xiao Jiang is always gone. Of course Brother Xiao Liang will be notified of this kind of thing!"

The selfish President Jiang rushed home early, and saw Liang, the future actor who was wearing an apron and knew nothing, was awkwardly rubbing salt on a turbot.

Jiang Kuang quickly sorted out his expression, tried his best to hold back the smile that he couldn't hide all the way, put on a slightly disappointed look, changed his shoes, took off his coat, walked into the kitchen and hugged Liang Chi from behind, his face turned sideways. He sighed softly against his back.

Jiang Kuang is rarely like this. He can hide any worrying emotions tightly, and he has never seen his fragility exposed.

Liang Chi was stunned. The first thing he thought of was that the investigation results of Jiang's family came out, and that Moshang Company could not be kept. Jiang Kuang had put so much effort into this company, but it turned out to be nothing.

He raised his hands with salt grains on them, which were very fishy, ​​and touched Jiang Kuang's arm around his waist with the back of his hand, and said stupidly: "Brother, it's okay, I can make money now , I can afford you."

... What is this?

Jiang Kuang was also dumbfounded, where did this guy's brain go?

But he continued to pretend, and said in a muffled voice: "I'm fine, don't take it to heart, once or twice, don't take it seriously, do what you have to do, one day you can prove yourself..."

Liang Chi:? ?Um?

Not a company?That's... After he thought of something, his heart sank suddenly, his heartbeat slowed down a beat, and then he picked up again. It's over, the list of the Academy Awards came out, and their film was out of action!

Certainly so.

This elder brother rushed back to comfort himself in such a dejected manner, it's over!A group of people pointed to it to eat meat this year, and now it is better, and the soup is no longer available!

Liang Chi was about to cry, his eyes turned red instantly, he struggled and turned around, with an expression of doing something wrong: "Brother, we... didn't get nominated in any of them? I know it's unlikely that I will be nominated for a leading actor, but No other nominations, director or cinematography, none? This, this..."

how so? ? ?No harvest? ? ?

Jiang Kuang couldn't hold back anymore, bent slightly, buried his head behind Liang Chi's back, and said under his breath, "It's all on the trending searches, you... get ready."

Liang Chi was taken aback again, he didn't check Weibo today, there was a movie theme song and a trailer, all the film critics said they were optimistic about this movie, well, now it's all a hit.

He reckons that he has been sprayed into a sieve on Weibo now.

But he had to face the storm by himself, so he groped for a wet kitchen towel from the console behind him, wiped his hands carelessly, took out his phone and opened Weibo.

There were several hot searches in succession, "Film Awards shortlist", "Fu Xing", Liang Chi's heart was pounding, his eyelids were twitching, and he mustered up the courage to click in, and then...

After experiencing again from being stupefied to reacting to ecstasy, the mood finally reached the place where it was supposed to go after turning the eighteenth bend of the mountain road. Jiang Kuang looked at him: "You lied to me!"

"Your brother is too bad! You lied to me! You scared me to death! I thought the company was going bankrupt and we thought that our films had no crops. I was frightened that there was no harvest this year! How could you lie to me like this..." As he spoke, Liang Chi burst into tears.

This was really frightening, Jiang Kuang was a little dazed, let go of him, this reaction was beyond his expectation, shouldn't he jump up and run all over the field, and then carry him up and run all over the house...

He coaxed people cautiously: "Brother is wrong...don't cry, what a great thing, being nominated for three or four awards, it feels like the awards show is like our home stadium."

Liang Chi's eyes were red, but there was a smile on his face: "I'm happy, really, very happy. I couldn't even imagine that I would be so happy. I'm even happier than I have already won the award."

All incoherent, Jiang Kuang wiped the corners of his eyes with his fingers: "Our little Chi is the best."

I was so excited just now, I saw several names of "Fu Xing" in a row, and I haven't looked carefully at all the nominations. Now that the two of them have no intention of cooking, they went to the living room sofa to enlarge the list line by line and carefully read it. .

The biggest nomination award is the Best Director Award, Wen Liang nominated Best Supporting Actor, in addition to the Best Cinematography Award and Best Screenplay Award, Liang Chi was nominated for Best Newcomer.

He was not shortlisted for Best Actor, so he must not be the Best Actor this time.

Liang Chi is already very, very happy. He took the Best Actor for the first time in a movie. He knows that he does not have such a high talent. This is his starting point. Everyone has worked together to create a good story. Task.

He looked at Jiang Kuang: "Brother, congratulations, you are also shortlisted."

Later, Yu also made some changes to the script. The screenwriter signed the names of two people. Jiang Kuang didn't pay much attention to this.

The Golden Image Award has a high gold content, and it has been the highest award for Chinese-language films for a long time. Not to mention winning an award, being shortlisted has already proved the circle's recognition of them.

"Best newcomer", both of them looked at the enlarged list on the phone screen, Liang Chi said with emotion, "You have been in the industry for seven years, and today you are stamped as a final conclusion, you are still a newcomer."

But this newcomer is the beginning of his real new life, and he is willing to embrace this new journey with open arms.

It was already dark, and the ingredients were still piled up in the kitchen and no one touched them. The two were smiling on the sofa. You look at me, I look at you, very stupid.
