Chapter 56

summer solstice, autumn equinox; In the blink of an eye, it has come to the end of the year.

The general's order ended perfectly, the movie was a big hit at the box office, and Wen Yan and Yan Yan's expressions were all unanimously recognized, and the shape was a great deal. And Bai Xiao's performance in the film was also appreciated. Many fans expressed regret over her death.

That day, Wen Yan, who was watching the movie alone, walked out of the theater after the end of the show and saw the poster of the general's order placed in the movie exhibition hall, she paused, and her slightly cool fingers gently rubbed in the upper left corner of the poster, and finally stopped on Bai Xiao's cheeks with a smile.

She looked at her and didn't move for a long time.

Finally, his lips moved, and he said in a low voice: "How nice it would be if you could see and hear it sooner." You'll know that you can't go wrong with persistence. ”

At the L-City Film Festival in the second year, Wen Yan and Yan Ran sat side by side, and sitting among them was the popular student Magesasa.

Two hours have passed since the awards ceremony, and the Best Newcomer Award, the Most Popular Actor and Actress, and the Best Film Award have been awarded one by one.

The soothing and familiar music sounded, and the host was already standing in the center of the stage with a smile on his face.

Yan Ran, who was wearing a dark purple evening dress, glanced at Wen Yan slanted at Magesasa, then withdrew his gaze, patiently and faithfully waiting for the host to reveal the answer.

And when the name "Wen Yan" was pronounced out of the host's mouth in a suppressed voice, she felt that she had been hit in the head.

The audience suddenly erupted in thunderous applause.

The moment Wen Yan got up, Yan Ran felt that she was shrouded in a huge shadow, and she bit her cherry-red lip lightly, suppressing the sound that was about to burst out of her throat.

Wen Yan walked up to the podium. She first smiled politely at the host, then took the trophy handed over by the award presenter, shook hands with him, and acted in a friendly and natural manner.

The audience applauded endlessly. Wen Yan picked up the microphone, gently pursed the corners of his lips, and seemed to think for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Thank you! What I never thought was that I would actually win this award, and what I didn't think about was that it was at this moment that I stood here and really understood what this award meant to me. Years ago, I never thought about going down this path, nor did I feel like I was suited for it, and the last time I stood here, I understood it as fate would be impermanent. But today, you still choose to believe in me, tolerate me, and give me the strongest support and support. I'm not the best, I'm not the hardest, I used to even be selfish, but I think that growing up is not just selfish taking, nor blindly giving, but never forgetting to make myself stronger, and more clearly understanding myself in the tempering of time. Thank you for making me grow, thank you for not forgetting me, and thank you for giving me the opportunity to stand here, thank you. ”

The person holding the trophy was wearing a plain white shirt, black trousers, and the collarbone was prominently protruding at the neckline. She raised her head slightly in the focused light, there seemed to be light in her black eyes, her raised face had smooth and graceful lines, her clear face was almost transparent under the projection of the light, but the corners of her mouth were smiling.

She looked at the audience, and then, her gaze froze somewhere. Compared with the calm and indifference when she won the award for the first time, this time, her eyes were clearly a little more enthusiastic.

Gu Heng, who was sitting in the first row, clasped his hands, and he stared at the clear and smiling face on the stage for a long time. At that moment, a long-lost love was slowly surging into my heart. He was only a little bit before he was pierced by this look.

Of course, the focus of people's attention is not only Wen Yan on the stage, but also the burning that sits under the stage and is only one seat away from Wen Yan's seat.

Magasasa, who was next to her, also turned her face away curiously.

At that moment, everyone saw this bright, flamboyant, usually arrogant and wanton smile woman, who was stubbornly raising her face, trying to stop a tear in her eyes, and then, stretching out her hand, applauding.

She sat there all the time and didn't leave early. It wasn't until the end of the party that he stood up and straightened his skirt and left the venue elegantly.

At the end of the party, it was already eleven o'clock at night, Wen Yan and Yin Zhan walked out of the venue and met Yan Ran at the door. She was still wearing the off-the-shoulder dark purple evening dress, and when she saw Wen Yan, she moved eagerly and even a little irritably, pushed off the coat handed over by the assistant, and stood in the winter wind wearing only a skirt, her eyes bursting with a colder light than the harsh winter.

"If you win a prize, don't think you win." She looked at Wen Yan, trembled her lips and said arrogantly, "You have a saying that is right, fate is impermanent. You have to understand that the reason why you can win this award is not only luck, but also because you played a good person. Wen Yan, you are indeed a good person, but you are a good person who has no sincerity. I'm a bad person, but I have my own emotions and my own things that I want to keep. So, don't be complacent, don't think I'm going to admit defeat, you know, I won't lose, let alone you. ”

Yin Zhan glanced at Yan Ran in disgust and snorted.

Wen Yan didn't speak, she saw that her burning teeth began to chatter, and her lips were frozen white. So he nodded in agreement, then took the coat in the assistant's hand, draped it on Yan Ran's shoulders, and showed her a bright but sly smile: "Of course, I don't care, because this is just the beginning." Three years later, I'll be waiting for you at the Leiden Film Festival. ”

The Leiden Film Festival is one of the most influential and top international film festivals today, held every three years, and most of the award winners are from Europe and the United States, and few Chinese win awards. So far, it has been fifteen years since the last Chinese star won the title of actress.

For Yan Ran, it is naturally a dream to win the title of Leyden Actress, but Wen Yan is so unashamed to say it, which really makes her angry, and at the same time deeply stimulates her strong competitiveness.

She put on her coat, and then gave Wen Yan a contemptuous, smug and arrogant smile: "Don't say three years, it's thirty years, and the Queen of Leiden is also mine, let's see." ”

After Yan Ran left, Wen Yan was silent in place for a while, and finally was patted on the shoulder by Yin Zhan, she came back to her senses, and when she was about to leave, she saw Gu Heng walking towards her.

In the night, he raised his handsome eyebrows and eyes slightly, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Those black eyes are no longer as cold as before; The corners of the mouth with distinct ridges will no longer pull out a disdainful and distant smile.

He has changed, or rather, he is back.

The wind was blowing in the night, a little cold, and strangely, at that moment, suddenly I didn't feel hateful.

The day after Wen Yan won the actress award, he received interviews from major news media.

The talk show selected by Yin Zhan is a celebrity dialogue, and the people who are qualified to be on this show are all big names among the big names without exception. The host has always been known for her poisonous tongue and quick mouth, and she has also interviewed Yan Ran, and almost had a stiff fight with Yan Ran on stage.

was invited at this moment, and the reason is self-evident - how many people are curious about this woman who has been talking about it since her debut, meddling in other people's relationships, detonating online war of words, getting involved in a kidnapping mystery case, and suspected of murdering actors in the same crew, as long as any of the above can push her into the abyss who has not yet established a foothold in the entertainment industry. What is she capable of, and how did she get out of the quagmire? How did you defeat your old rival Yan Ran and win the title of actress?

Wen Yan still wore her trademark white shirt and black trousers, just like the night she won the award. This is her usual style, which is both simple and casual, but also has a proper sense of distance.

is no longer the deliberate and welcoming smile of the past, her smile at this moment, although very shallow, is enough to warm the audience.

"We care so much about what happens to you -- the unexpected." As soon as the show began, the host asked directly. However, since there is no more appropriate word, it can only be described as "unexpected".

"There are a lot of them." Wen Yan smiled and said, "And, I think there will be more unexpected things in the future." ”

"Oh?" The host's noticeably raised tone showed that she was interested at the moment.

"Life surprises people because it's full of unknowns. Including the fact that I can win the award of actress, it is also unexpected, which is why I am here today. Wen Yan raised his gaze as he spoke, and stared at the host with a smile, "Isn't it precisely because of this that your show invited me?" ”

The host was stunned at first, and then smiled, she admitted that Wen Yan is indeed a very interesting person, she is not as hypocritical and deliberate as some rumors from the outside world say, she is very honest, it is a kind of honesty that may not be understood and tolerated in today's entertainment industry, but she likes it very much, so she nodded generously in agreement: "That's right." ”

Wen Yan smiled and said: "I think that the bad things that happened to me are precisely because I lack a little luck, just as I won the award for the actress, because I have a little more luck, I have always believed that people's luck is counted, you can't force it, and you can't consume it." Just because I got it doesn't mean I'm better than others, it's just that the timing just happens to be my luck. ”

"It's really an interesting answer, many people attribute success to hard work, and some people attribute it to perseverance, Wen Yan Do you think people's success depends on luck?"

"No, I don't think a person's success depends on luck alone, because I'm not a successful person yet." She paused, seemed to hesitate, and then said, "When it comes to success, I actually agree more with Yan Ran's persistence." ”

There was a sudden sigh from the audience.

As we all know, the relationship between Wen Yan and Yan Yan is very delicate, and Yan Yan also publicly stated that he is not friends with Wen Yan, and he is very reluctant to mention Wen Yan in an interview. So at this moment, Wen Yan took the initiative to mention Yan Burn, which really had a big impact on everyone on and off the stage.

The host couldn't hide his excited expression, and quickly took over the topic with his eyebrows fluttering: "Since Wen Yan mentioned another actress that we all know and love very much, and know about her "insistence theory", can I understand that you have a close relationship in private and are very good friends?" ”

Wen Yan replied without hesitation: "No, not at all." ”

There was another sigh from the audience, and the host had a black line on his face: "...... Okay", she quickly gathered her thoughts and changed the subject.

"Wen Yan has not debuted for a long time, but he seems to be a very individual and very mysterious person. So we know very little about you, can you tell us what kind of person you are? What kind of life is it? ”

Wen Yan didn't answer immediately, but looked embarrassed.

The presenter quickly captured this subtle change in her face and quipped, "Does this question make you feel difficult?" ”

Wen Yan pretended to smile lightly: To be honest, a little. She thought for a moment, then slowed down and replied clearly: "It's hard for me to sum up what kind of person I really am, because I don't know myself well enough." I am a person who is used to being lonely, and I know that no one can be with me all the time, so I have to get used to living alone early, and say good morning to myself when I wake up every day, and say good night to myself before going to bed, which may be self-deceptive, or ridiculous, but I will be very satisfied.

"When it comes to loneliness, some people say you're a lonely walker. What do you think of this evaluation? ”

Wen Yan was silent and spoke for a long time: "No one naturally likes to be lonely. ”

If winning the title of actress is an opportunity to turn over, then this turnaround battle is very beautiful, winning popularity and reputation, and the opportunity is flying.

Countless big-name merchants came to the door, and well-known directors in the circle also threw olive branches one after another, and Yin Zhan chose the script more carefully and pickily. Today's Wen Yan, whether he wants to or not, has already stood in a high and very dangerous position, and he must fight steadily, otherwise once he falls, it may be fatal.

As soon as the film festival ended, major news media quickly reported the incident, and reporters from all walks of life also smelled the smell and went out one after another. A group of people rushed to interview Wen Yan, and a group squatted at the door of Yan Yan's house, and as soon as there was a stir, they immediately gathered around him.

Those reports, one more enthusiastic than the other, and one sharper and more vicious.

"Wen Yan defeated Yan Ran and won the highest award at the L-City Film Festival - the title of actress."

"After Wen Yan won the shadow, the opponent was sluggish?"

"It's a pity to lose, the next target is a commercial romance film?"

"Gu Heng and the new actress Wen Yan traveled to Paris together, and his ex-girlfriend was drunk late at night."

"What did Yan Ran rely on to save the defeat? It's worth thinking about. ”

……

The spring is cold, the wind is still a little cold at night, Yan Yan is wearing a thin knitted sweater, sitting on the open-air balcony while drinking hot coffee while looking at the scenery outside.

Opposite is the largest shopping mall in L City, and on the huge poster, there is a familiar face that annoys her.

The woman in the advertisement wears a white shirt and black trousers, and a light coffee-colored scarf is pure and elegant.

Holding a bottle of beautifully packaged high-end skincare products, she smiled at the people in the city.

It's fast, the world changes its face faster than anything else.

Two years ago, Yan Ran was still the hottest star in the entertainment industry, highly sought after and concerned, and Wen Yan had not even debuted at that time. Now, in less than two years, she has won a movie queen, and her value has skyrocketed, and she has attracted much attention.

Her popularity is so rapid that it is jaw-dropping, however, just like the speed of her popularity, the criticism she has suffered, those waves of criticism and accusations, have never stopped.

People pay attention to her, but they are just trying to be fresh, and after a while, as long as a new person appears, they will slowly forget her.

The human heart is clear and vicious, and they always like the new and hate the old.

Yan Ran thought about it, and took another sip of coffee.

The phone kept ringing, and one news hot spot after another popped up, she glanced at it, but didn't click on it. Her gaze never lingers on the meaningless and tiring gossip.

It seemed to be getting colder and colder, and he tightened his tight and loose sweater, looking at the misty night in front of him, and there was a calm stubbornness in his eyes.

The dark eyes are as clear as the lake water for a moment, and the sea water is bottomless in the depths of the deep winter. It is as if there is a flow of light and shadow, covering up countless thoughts.

She looked at the scenery in front of her for a long time, as if she were looking at a completely strange world.
