Recalcitrant

This year's Flying Eagle Award, the biggest winner is undoubtedly Chen Zhuo.When he was an actor, he participated in the Flying Eagle Awards many times, and the trophy was soft, but as a director, it was the first time for him to appear on this stage.

The second film "Red Balloon" directed by Chen Zhuo won the new director and best film in one fell swoop.Chen Zhuo's friend and royal photographer Bai Jie won the Best Cinematography Award, and the heroine Xiao Keran who played in friendship also won the Best Actress Award again with this movie.

After Chen Zhuo won the award, online public opinion divided into two camps. The identity of Chen Guangyu's son made his director career controversial from the very beginning.

Some people said that Chen Zhuo was able to become a blockbuster thanks to the protection of his ancestors. Some of the judges sitting on the jury table were even his father's students. It would be so difficult to give him a few awards.

Of course, some people recognized his talent as a director, changed his style of writing, and gave him the title of "genius".

It's just that this kind of praise seems to be flattering to Chen Yao himself.

The auditorium where the award ceremony is held is a historically protected building built in the early Republic of China.As soon as Chen Zhuo and the main creators walked out of the gate, they were surrounded by the media who had been waiting outside.

The focus of the media was naturally around Chen Zhuo. During the interval between reporters' questions, Chen Zhuo once again distractedly glanced at his phone.

The virtual world is as lively as the real one. Messages congratulating him on winning the award poured into his inbox one after another. Chen Zhuo took a quick glance and put the phone back in his pocket.

Lu Shaoheng did not come to today's awards ceremony, nor did he send a single word.

After the routine media group visits, there was a celebration banquet for the crew. For convenience, the location of the celebration banquet was set at the hotel next to the auditorium.

Chen Zhuo had a schedule tomorrow morning, so before the banquet was over, he bid farewell to the main creators who were having fun, and left first.

Bai Jie was also very happy tonight, but his family was strictly controlled, and he didn't drink much all night, so he was responsible for sending Chen Zhuo to the elevator.

"What's the matter today? It's a great day, why don't you look very interested?"

Bai Jie personally accompanied Chen Zhuo to wait for the elevator. Tonight, he had to deal with the organizer and the media. They were noisy all night. It wasn't until this time that the two of them had a chance to say a few words.

"Is there?" Chen Zhuo looked at the noisy elevator advertisement and said, "Maybe I'm tired."

"Don't fool me." Bai Jie still understood Chen Zhuo's temper: "Is there something on your mind?"

Chen Yao changed the topic casually: "Lu Yu is about to give birth in the United States, when is the due date?"

Zhang Luyu is Bai Jie's wife and an internationally renowned director. Chen Zhuo and the two of them have known each other since childhood, and the three of them can be regarded as childhood sweethearts.

Bai Jie and Zhang Luyu are a rare loving couple in the circle. One of them is a well-known photographer and the other is a successful director. There are so many temptations in this circle, but they entered the palace of marriage without hesitation at their prime of life. .

"Next February, please name the child."

When mentioning his wife, a gentle smile appeared on Bai Jie's face. He was originally a gentle person, and such a smile shrouded his whole body in a soft light.

"Congratulations, you are going to be a father soon." Chen Zhuo's words sounded at the same time as the sound of the elevator arriving. He walked into the elevator and said to Bai Jie outside the door: "Let's go first, remember to let the child recognize me as a godfather."

The elevator door was closed between the two of them, completely isolating the noisy music of the venue.Chen Zhuo's business was extremely busy tonight, and before his ears were quiet for two seconds, Xie Siwen's call came after him.

"Hey, Lao Chen, congratulations, awesome!" Xie Siwen's voice rang happily on the other end of the phone.

Chen Zhuo had been listening to such words all night, he leaned on the armrest a little tiredly, and said, "Stop saying these polite words."

Xie Siwen smiled "hehe", and really gave Chen Yao something practical: "By taking advantage of your family's young master Lu's absence, I have prepared a surprise for you."

As he spoke, he took the phone a little further away, and a burst of crisp cheers came from the receiver: "Congratulations to Director Chen! Congratulations to Director Chen!"

Just by hearing the battle of this voice, Chen Zhuo can guess what kind of grand occasion Xie Siwen is currently in. It must be surrounded by fat swallows and thin flowers, which is comparable to the scene of the ancient emperor's draft.

But in the past one or two years, Chen Yao has been a little tired of such scenes. He looked up at the constantly changing floor numbers on the LCD screen, but his thoughts were still stuck in Xie Siwen's previous sentence: "What is your home and my home, he is him, I am me."

"Okay, okay, whoever you are." Xie Siwen's focus is obviously not here: "In a word, come or not."

It was impossible to go, Chen Zhuo opened his mouth to refuse, at this moment, the elevator door slowly opened, and a familiar figure not far away came into his eyes.

The lobby bar was dimly lit, and the man had his back to Chen Zhuo, sitting in front of the bar and teasing the bartender.He was wearing a dark shirt with sleeves rolled up to the elbows and a loose hem. His coat and tie were casually draped over the back of the chair. He looked like he had just come out of get off work to fool around.

Chen Yao stood still in the elevator, thinking that he was not sure if this figure from the back was the person he was expecting.

That's right, look forward to, Chen Zhuo is not willing to admit this word in his heart.

"Hello? Old Chen? What's the matter, give me an accurate word—"

Before the elevator door closed again, Chen Yao cut off the phone and walked out quickly.

The little girl at the bar saw Chen Zhuo first. The girl's professionalism was extremely high. Seeing the protagonist on tonight's hot search appeared in front of her, she didn't have any reaction that was inconsistent with her identity. She just smiled politely at Chen Zhuo .

Lu Shaoheng noticed the girl's eyes, then turned around, and saw Chen Zhuo standing behind him, and raised his glass to him with a smile: "Congratulations, Director Chen."

"Congratulations to you too." Chen Zhuo said.

This film's success today has a lot to do with Lu Shaoheng.This time Lu Shaoheng is no longer a nominal producer, but has truly participated in the production of the entire film, and even participated in the Flying Eagle Award as his name.Not only that, when it comes to filming, Lu Shaoheng gave Chen Yao complete freedom and never interfered with his creation as a producer.

This is what every director longs for, and not everyone has the opportunity to create his own work.

It's just that Lu Shaoheng treats the movies he has made, just like the lovers who have been on his dragon bed.

"When did you come back?" Chen Zhuo walked a few steps towards Lu Shaoheng and asked.

Lu Shaoheng replied flatly: "Just arrived."

"Just got off the plane and came here." Chen Zhuo paused for a moment, and asked, "Are you here for fun, or are you here to find me?"

Lu Shaoheng laughed when he heard this, looked up at the girl in front of him, and said sincerely: "Of course I'm here to find the little beauty."

When the girl heard this, a smile appeared on her face, but she didn't answer.She has been in this industry for a long time, and she is used to meeting all kinds of people. She knew that some words were poison, and they were wholesaled in bulk at fifty cents a catty.

Lu Shaoheng saw Chen Zhuo alone, so he took the initiative to invite him: "Sit down and have a drink? I treat you."

Chen Zhuo stepped forward and took the cup from Lu Shaoheng's hand, but he didn't drink it, but pressed the cup on the marble countertop with a "click".

Then, in front of the little girl, he grabbed Lu Shaoheng's wrist and said, "Don't drink now, go somewhere with me."

Chen Zhuo did not take Lu Shaoheng too far, but returned to the auditorium where the awards ceremony had just been held.

The organizer's work efficiency is very high, but the withdrawal has been completed in a few hours. The star-studded red carpet has long since disappeared, the fence stretching tens of meters has been dismantled, and the colorful spotlights in mid-air have also disappeared. Closed, this nearly century-old building regained its former tranquility overnight.

Chen Zhuo led Lu Shaoheng into the auditorium familiarly. Every time the two of them took a step, the sound of empty footsteps echoed around them.

"The security guards will come later, so they won't arrest us both." Lu Shaoheng followed behind Chen Yao, looked around casually, and joked.

Chen Zhuo didn't answer, arranged for Lu Shaoheng to sit in the front row of the auditorium, and then stepped onto the stage by himself.

This auditorium is very large and can accommodate thousands of people at most. However, at this moment, there is only Lu Shaoheng in the eyes of the audience and Chen Zhuo.

Standing on the stage, Chen Zhuo entered the scene in a second. Facing the auditorium with only one person, he imitated the tone of the award presenter not long ago, and said: "The next thing we are going to present is the best film award. The winning film is- —”

Having said that, Chen Yao cast his gaze to the audience, deliberately prolonging the tone to create suspense, and Lu Shaoheng, as the only audience, could only shout in cooperation: "Red balloon!"

"That's right, congratulations to "Red Balloon", congratulations to the whole team." Chen Zhuo looked at Lu Shaoheng with a smile: "Now, please invite the producer of "Red Balloon", Mr. Lu Shaoheng, to come on stage to accept the award!"

According to the practice of the Flying Eagle Awards, the award for best film is usually received by the chief producer, but today Lu Shaoheng was not present, so the award was received by the director of production.

Chen Zhuo's acting skills are very good. There is no need to argue about this point. As long as he wants to play a role well, it is easy for the audience to empathize with him.

At the beginning, Lu Shaoheng waved his hands repeatedly, not wanting to go up and accompany him to be stupid, but in the end, as if being led by Chen Yao, he got up and walked onto the stage, and took the non-existent air trophy from him solemnly.

"Next, please Mr. Lu Shaoheng to give his acceptance speech." Chen Zhuo had a lot of drama tonight, after presenting the award to Lu Shaoheng, he stood sideways and continued the process.

Lu Shaoheng didn't expect Chen Zhuo to give him a whole show, and asked him in a disgruntled manner: "What did you say in your acceptance speech?"

"You don't care what I say." Chen Zhuo was not satisfied with Lu Shaoheng's repeated failure to cooperate, and said, "It's you who is asking now."

"Childish." Lu Shaoheng mocked him mercilessly.

Having said that, Lu Shaoheng still thought about it for a moment, then cleared his throat, and said solemnly: "First of all, I would like to thank the organizing committee for awarding this award to us "Red Balloon."

After finishing speaking, he paused for a few seconds, then continued: "Then, I would like to thank my father for being so rich and giving me the opportunity to invest in Director Chen's movie."

Speaking of this, Lu Shaoheng also realized that this award acceptance speech was really not on the stage, so he first laughed out loud.Seeing his appearance, Chen Yao couldn't help laughing.

In the empty auditorium, the two of them smiled face to face like fools for a long time.

When did the laughter stop? Afterwards, no one cared anymore. Chen Yan stared at Lu Shaoheng, suddenly stretched out his hand, picked him up by the waist and placed him on the window sill at the edge of the stage, then took a step forward and turned over down.

At the beginning of the design, this auditorium should have incorporated a little Gothic architectural style, with a high dome, decorated with pointed arches, and huge floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides.

The lights in the room were not turned on, and the light from outside came in through the stained glass, like a pool of melted rainbows, flowing wetly on the two of them like water.

The colorful light spots fell on Lu Shaoheng's face, reflecting the waves in his eyes, making his eyes seem to be sinking in the sparkling sea, gentle and affectionate.

Chen Zhuo seemed to be guided, lowered his head, and was about to kiss the hazy light.

The slightly cool lips fell on the eyelashes, Lu Shaoheng finally came back to his senses, and blinked lightly as if trying to cover up.

He probably guessed what Chen Zhuo was going to do, and quickly leaned back, ruining the beautiful atmosphere just now with his mouth: "Is it right here? Is it so exciting?"

Not long ago, in this solemn auditorium, Chen Zhuo received the highest honor of his new career so far, but he didn't seem to feel that it was inappropriate to mess around in this hallowed movie hall.

"Will the Lord be with you?" Chen Zhuo went one step further, trapping Lu Shaoheng between himself and the ornately decorated stained glass.

The warm breath was like the wings of a butterfly, brushing against the tip of Lu Shaoheng's nose as if invisibly. He was not a gentleman with high morals, so he soon became distracted.

"In principle, no." Lu Shaoheng raised his head and said with a smile, "but I can make an exception for you."

As soon as Lu Shaoheng's words fell, Chen Zhuo's kiss was unceremoniously suppressed. Lu Shaoheng did not stay idle, opened his teeth, and welcomed his arrival generously.

This kiss lasted for a long time, Chen Zhuo didn't do anything out of the ordinary from the beginning to the end, he just kissed Lu Shaoheng carefully, patiently and tenderly.

Unknowingly, Lu Shaoheng's hand that had been flirting all over the place finally calmed down, and carefully grabbed the corner of Chen Zhuo's clothes where no one could see.

Chen Yao opened his eyes briefly, glanced at the person in front of him, and then hugged him into his arms.
