Wen Yan didn't know how Yin Zhan sent Gu Heng back to Gu's house that day, and when he saw Yin Zhan again, he didn't mention it, and she didn't ask.

Two weeks after its release at night, the box office exceeded 1 billion, and the popularity on the topic list continued unabated, and netizens rushed to discuss the topics around this newcomer named Wen Yan.

A role makes a person, Wen Yan didn't expect that her role in the whole movie was not the heaviest, but it was such a sad and lamentable, and she actually helped her win a lot of fans.

At the awards ceremony of a well-known international film festival in early March, Wen Yan won the New Actress Award as expected, but the popular student Magesasa missed out on the Best Actor Award.

On a cool and quiet night, when the high-pitched and uplifting music sounded, Wen Yan walked up to the podium with a graceful gait under countless inquisitive and envious eyes. The faint blue chasing light hit her solemn pure white dress, and the light and shadow floated like gurgling water. Under the spotlight, she gently pursed the corners of her lips, revealing a sincere and decent smile, and her voice was clear but with a certain demagogic power: "Thank you! Thank you to those who believe in me, thank you to all those who are willing to give me a chance, thank you to those who are willing to take the time and effort to keep an eye on me even if they don't like me and don't recognize me, this award is not mine, it is yours, it is you who have given me the opportunity to stand here, so sure and proud to say what I thought I would never say, but this is a great start, thank you for giving me confidence and courage! She stretched out an arm, handed the trophy in her hand to the audience in front of her, and smiled slightly: "I will work hard, and I look forward to reuniting with everyone with a better self in the next story!" ”

Everyone seemed to be stunned by this somewhat unexpected thank you speech, and after a moment of silence, there was a sudden tidal wave of cheers and applause, and many entertainment industry bigwigs and many mainstream media sitting in the VIP seat were stunned, this circle is □□ shapes and shapes, and they have seen too much, and a rookie actor's thank you speech after winning the award usually thanks to his boss, production team, director, screenwriter, and even agents and colleagues. And this woman named Wen Yan seems to be out of these independent existences, she raised her eyes, stood straight, with a faint smile on her lips, without the slightest excitement, let alone tears, choked up and said I really didn't expect that I was really excited, I will continue to work hard and not disappoint everyone. Her voice is so clear but the words are sonorous and full, not at all like a newcomer who has just debuted, in this confession, she thanked so many people, but did not clearly call out anyone's name, her thanks are sincere and deliberate, frank and vague, it seems to be sharing something, and it seems to be hiding something!

However, there were still so many, so many people who were moved by her and gave the warmest applause.

Lu Xun, who was sitting in the first row of the audience, secretly gave a thumbs up in surprise, showing a look of approval. And Gu Heng beside him, leaning lightly on the chair, her hands naturally clasped, looking at the person on the stage intently, she always seems to be warm and kind, but she never has nostalgia for the past. She was confident that she hadn't hurt anyone, but he could always feel a faint ache in her heart when she showed a cold and mocking smile. When she finished her thank-you speech and walked off the stage, she seemed to see him too, so she did not shy away from putting her eyes on him among countless people, as if she had just said everything to him.

At the end of the award ceremony, many media surrounded Wen Yan backstage and asked her to express her thoughts on winning the award.

When he went out, it was raining lightly outside, Yin Zhan put the umbrella above Wen Yan's head, opened the car door, and before Wen Yan could get into the car, a man hurriedly walked behind.

The man was in his early thirties, with slightly long hair, clear eyebrows, and a suave look. Wen Yan remembers him as Sui Xin, the right-hand man of the great director An Mingyu.

Sui Xin stopped in front of Wen Yan, looked at Wen Yan from top to bottom with a thoughtful face, smiled, and handed over a business card.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Miss Wen."

Wen Yan took the business card and looked puzzled: "What advice does Mr. Sui have?" ”

"Don't dare to advise." Sui Xin smiled, "An Lao wants to see you, I wonder if Miss Wen will have time tomorrow?" ”

Wen Yan smiled brightly: "An Lao's appointment, even if you don't have time, you have to go." ”

Sui Xin nodded goodbye: "Miss Wen, see you tomorrow!" ”

In the spring, people tend to feel lazy and tired, but in the small café on the side of the street, the old man in his sixties who is over sixty years old sitting in a secluded corner is still in good spirits and his eyes are blazing.

He held a cup of freshly brewed black coffee in his left hand, and flipped through the script casually with his right hand, with a solemn look on his face.

Wen Yan pushed open the door of the coffee shop, politely greeted the waiter who greeted the inquiry, and walked inside.

The slight footsteps carried the coolness of early spring, and accompanied by the strong aroma of coffee, An Mingyu still looked at the script intently, and waved his hand towards Wen Yan without raising his head: "Coming?" Have a seat! ”

Wen Yan sat down with a smile: "An Lao knows it's me?" ”

An Mingyu raised his eyes, looked at Wen Yan with a slight scrutiny, and then smiled: "Your steps are very quiet, and your breath is steady, the same as before." ”

Wen Yan pursed his thin lips lightly, revealing a very good-looking smile: "An Lao said this, can I take it as a compliment?" ”

An Mingyu nodded meaningfully: "Of course it's a compliment!" ”

While the two were talking, the waiter in the coffee shop came over with a cup of coffee and a smile, and then put it in front of Wen Yan in a dignified manner: "Please use it slowly!" ”

Wen Yan smiled and thanked him, and at the same time, An Mingyu also looked at the waiter and politely said thank you! Then he motioned to Wen Yan: "Try it." ”

It was black coffee, unsweetened, astringent and bitter, Wen Yan frowned imperceptibly, with a vague look of pain and a tangled expression on his face, and quickly wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue and put down the cup.

An Mingyu seemed to smile very satisfied: "Last time I saw you, you didn't have such a rich expression!" He paused, and looked at Wen Yan carefully with an inquiring and meaningful gaze: "Girl, you are hiding deeply!" ”

The words that didn't sound friendly came out of An Mingyu's mouth directly, Wen Yan was a little surprised, she didn't know what the old man meant by saying this, but she didn't immediately refute her grievances, her hand gently held the coffee cup, her slightly cool fingers rubbed the edge of the cup as if nothing, smiled slightly, calmly and patiently waiting for his next words, even if it was as harsh as a knife.

With such a calm and calm expression, An Mingyu was obviously a little surprised, he pondered for a moment, revealing an appreciative expression: "Calm down, not bad!" ”

He took another sip of coffee and continued: "This black coffee is bitter, but if you taste it well, in fact, life is all kinds of things, it is nothing more than this taste, the five flavors are mixed, and at the end of the taste, it will not be bitter." ”

Wen Yan raised his eyes slightly, looking at his thin and wrinkled face, as if he was driven by some kind of drive, he actually picked up the cup very obediently and took another sip, it was still a little bitter, and he endured it and took another sip, it was still bitter.

"Is it still bitter?" An Mingyu asked with a smile.

Wen Yan put down the cup and replied honestly: "It's bitter, but you can drink it." ”

The smile in An Mingyu's eyes deepened: "Really? ”

"No matter how bitter things are, I can swallow them." Wen Yan smiled slyly and sincerely as he spoke, "When An Lao saw me today, he didn't just ask me to drink a cup of black coffee together and sigh for the flavors of life, right?!" ”

"Little girl, you're very smart!" An Mingyu pushed the script he had just read in front of Wen Yan, and said slowly, "The first time we met was because of the general's order, but there are always some regrets in life, I have been preparing for this movie for a long time, and I have not entered the filming stage for a long time, because there is always a lack of an important role, I have been looking for this person for a long time, but I am not satisfactory until I see you in the night." Wen Yan, you know, there is never a shortage of talented actors in the entertainment industry, and there is no shortage of hard-working actors, but there is a lack of actors with personal characteristics and recognition, who can be remembered by the public at a glance. At the awards ceremony yesterday, I listened to your acceptance speech, girl, you are very proud, very unkind, but I appreciate this tough and aggressive character, although not humble enough, but I have to say that this is a certain quality that becomes a top actor, this kind of quality, I have seen it in Lu Xun, and I have seen it in Yan Ran, but unfortunately, the two of them are too tough and domineering, and they always lack an emotion, I hope you will be better than them, of course, I also hope that someone can be better than you in the future, Filmmakers need this kind of progress! Here, this is the script of the general's order, you go back and take a look, if you are willing to take it, then this movie, it's time to meet everyone! ”

An Mingyu suddenly said so many long words, and the words were sincere, Wen Yan was a little uncomfortable, she took the script, looked at An Mingyu's resolute and believing eyes, and hesitated: "But An Lao, why me?" I remember the first time we met, you were not optimistic about me, even if Uncle Li strongly recommended me, you didn't want your work to have the slightest flaw......"

An Mingyu nodded in agreement: "That's right!" So Wen Yan, I chose you, not because of who your mother is, but because of yourself, because I think you can play well, you are the one who has been missing from the general's order! ”

Wen Yan was silent for a long time, and finally pressed the script lightly to his chest, and nodded with a smile with a certain strong and violent will.

Then the two of them talked again, Sui Xin came to pick up An Mingyu and went to the set, Wen Yan sat there alone, picked up the cup, and slowly, drank the black coffee that had cooled inside.
