"Director Chen, I'm ......"

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, this is my business card, I have a script here......"

"Yes, have you already participated in it three times? That's pretty remarkable. ”

……

At the Academy Awards, there was a mixture of fish and dragons.

There are smiling organizers, low-eyed celebrities, and ecstatic media reporters.

Everyone is playing their respective roles, showing things that are in line with their status under the camera.

The bigger the identity and coffee position, the more people will follow.

is a big actor and star, so there are some directors and screenwriters who surround him and want to make an appointment.

is a famous director, and there are some actors and stars who stick it up,

At the same time, there are also people walking around the scene with cameras and microphones, like hungry wolves who are dizzy, just waiting for some accidents to happen on the scene, so that they can write 'big news' so that the company behind them can make a lot of money.

In this case, as the 'only' famous horror film director in China, Lu Zhengyi naturally surrounded many people.

A coquettish female idol, a handsome cream student, a pretty actress, and an old-fashioned handsome uncle......

In this circle, most people have a certain score in appearance,

Even a few people who don't rely on their appearance to eat, they have a more or less unique temperament, and they have the characteristics of being friendly or memorable at a glance in appearance.

Physiognomy is one of the 'abilities' that can be left in this circle.

"Our Director Lu is starting to get impatient."

And far away from them, Chang Zhengwei and Yu Wenxiu had already walked away.

Although they are now famous, the coffee position on the scene is not high, there are no peers to find them, and media reporters are all revolving around those high-traffic stars and well-known actors, so they are still free in this chaotic environment.

As for Lu Zhengyi, who was surrounded by a group of people, the stars held the moon and was at ease, Chang Zhengwei said that he was impatient.

If Zhang Yuming or Bai Wei were present, maybe for this scene, they would say things like 'Director Lu is becoming more and more popular', 'Director Lu is very happy', 'Director Lu is enjoying it', but the two of them are different.

Not everyone craves this kind of attention and is so sought after.

At least in their impression, Lu Zhengyi is not such a character.

Standing next to Chang Zhengwei, Yu Wenxiu clasped his hands to his chest, straightened his waist, and said casually, "I think after today, if Director Lu has any awards in the future, he will probably ask someone else to receive it on his behalf." ”

"Possibly."

Chang Zhengwei nodded, with Lu Zhengyi's temperament, most likely he would really do this.

There are many things that he will only join in the first time, with a cheering attitude.

But after that, he will start to refuse for various reasons.

"Speaking of which, Xiuxiu, have you ever participated in this kind of awards party before?"

Chang Zhengwei's gaze moved away from Lu Zhengyi and turned to the person next to him, "It looks quite skilled." ”

"Of course, it's been more than ten years."

Speaking of this, Yu Wenxiu's expression was a little dazed, "Although I didn't have any outstanding works before, but it's okay to be cheeky and find someone to mix in a back seat, after all, on this occasion, you can see many directors, screenwriters, and actors who can't even get contact information." ”

"Before I changed, I would be like them, socializing everywhere, handing out business cards, and looking for opportunities."

"Although I said that I have issued so many business cards and looked for opportunities for so long, I didn't have a chance to be nominated once. In the end, it was only through the relationship of the teachers at the drama school that I joined Director Lu's crew, and I had the opportunity to participate as a competitor, although it was only a nomination. ”

She knows very well that she will not win the Best Actress Award.

In fact, many award ceremonies are a process, and as for the results, the nominees know long before they arrive on the scene.

Unless it is a change on the spot, otherwise, most people can maintain absolute humility in front of the camera, and will not be jealous or dissatisfied......

Next to him, Chang Zhengwei was also very emotional, "I'm almost the same." ”

So much has happened in two years.

They have all gone from being a star who needs to show their faces everywhere and fight for opportunities, to an actor who can really focus on acting.

"But you're all cultivators, do you still care about these things?"

But then, Chang Zhengwei suddenly remembered the biggest change in Yu Wenxiu in the past two years, and asked, "Shouldn't you focus on cultivation?" ”

Not only in her career, but also in her level.

are already cultivators, do you still care about things like acting and becoming famous?

Compared with being a person, becoming an immortal and cultivating will be more interesting, right?

It should be like the Taoist masters in the Taoist temple, doing homework and practicing every day, is it normal?

"Of course I do."

Yu Wenxiu glanced at him, "Cultivation is luck, acting is a hobby, this is a difference." ”

"And when I embarked on the path of cultivation, in fact, there hasn't been much change, in all kinds of aspects."

"If you have the opportunity to walk this path, you will probably understand."

Her tone was calm.

It's been three months, and she has already suppressed the excitement in her heart, and by recalling some of Lu Zhengyi's usual behaviors, she has learned some knowledge of cultivation.

"Are you in Versailles?"

Chang Zhengwei's expression became strange, "Obviously, his physical fitness has improved, and it is visible to the naked eye, and he has become healthier." ”

After knowing the truth of this world, who would say such things after embarking on the path of cultivation?

"If you had the chance, you'd understand."

Yu Wenxiu didn't explain much.

Now she can already understand that when Guide Wang came to Director Lu's house, Deputy Director Zhang and Xu Feng asked about cultivation, and why Lu Zhengyi suggested that they not want to find out.

"Eh, it's Zhou Jie!"

"Is Miss Zhou actually here too?"

"After all, she is a former golden queen, and the relationship between the organizer and her has always been very good."

"Good, beautiful."

"She's in her forties, isn't she? This sister, why is it so ...... Hiss. ”

……

And just as the two were talking, there was a commotion at the door, which attracted their attention.

At the door, a figure leisurely got down from a car, calmly walked across the red carpet under the eyes and exclamations of media reporters and fans blocking the door, and took photos with the car provided by the car brand sponsor next to it, and left his name on the signature wall of the invited guests.

After that, she entered the venue under the gaze of a wolf like a tiger.

Zhou Jie's appearance directly attracted the attention of most people at the scene.

Whether it's a journalist, an actor, a director, a screenwriter......

Most people's eyes fell on her, and they couldn't take their eyes off her, regardless of men and women.

And Zhou Jie herself has long been accustomed to this kind of unscrupulous scrutiny and gaze, standing there very calmly, scanning the surroundings, looking at the figures who have begun to step forward and walk towards this side.

Popular idol stars, well-known directors, newspaper reporters, organizers, and ......

Suddenly, the calm and calm expression on Zhou Jie's face became stiff.

Her eyes widened, and she looked directly at Lu Zhengyi, who was surrounded by several people not far away.

The burly and fierce figure was so conspicuous that there were so many people at the scene, but Zhou Jie still saw it very easily.

At this sight, her face began to flush, and her steps unconsciously retreated, wanting to escape.

Lose face!

What a shame!

Recalling that she was 'sick' at the beginning, running in front of others like a clown, talking rhetorically and making nonsense, Zhou Jie was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

And her gaffe naturally did not escape the others who had been paying attention to her.

"What's wrong? Sister Jie. ”

The person in charge of the organizer hurried forward.

Then, he was directly pulled by Zhou Jie's arm, and under the surprised gaze of others, he was pulled into the corner.

"Why is Lu Zhengyi here?!"

Zhou Jie asked in a low voice, and it was difficult to hide her shame in her tone.

"Lu, Director Lu?"

The person in charge of the organizer was pulled over, and he was a little confused when he was asked like this.

He wanted to look at Lu Zhengyi in the distance, but before he could turn his head, his head was directly held down by Zhou Jie's hands, and he could only look directly at her.

"Answer me!"

Zhou Jie asked coldly.

"Director Lu was nominated, no, no, he won the New Director Award, so he came to win the award."

The eyes of the person in charge of the organizer fell on Zhou Jie's face, and the whole person was stupid, and he replied in a trance while talking directly.

"Why didn't you inform me sooner?"

Zhou Jie put down her hand and asked again.

"The list of guests who will appear on our side is sent to your team."

The person in charge continued, his expression becoming silly.

And Zhou Jie listened to his answer and gritted her teeth.

It is true that the team also sent her the list, but she didn't see it.

"No, isn't he making horror movies?"

Zhou Jie stood there, leaning on the host's body to block Lu Zhengyi's direction, as if she was afraid that the other party's gaze would look over, "Horror films can also win awards?" ”

"Yes."

The person in charge replied, "Do you hate him so much?" If I hate it, I can arrange for him to be replaced right away. ”

He even said things like substitutions on the spot.

Don't even think about what the consequences of doing this are.

The whole person is like being evil, and there is only Zhou Jie in his eyes.

"I need you to give me a bad idea?"

Zhou Jie glanced at him coldly, but the person was cautiously looking through the gap between the arm and body of the person in charge, leaving Lu Zhengyi over there.

At this look, she breathed a sigh of relief.

People didn't look this way at all.

Driving people away?

How dare she do that!

"Alright, let's go."

Zhou Jie waved her hand irritably, just like chasing flies.

However, this expression stayed on her face for less than a second, and when the person in charge walked away in a trance, a standard smile bloomed on her face again, and she walked towards the pile of people who were looking at her.

"I'm sorry, everybody."

Zhou Jie looked at the others kindly, "I was rude just now, because the person in charge of the organizer is quite familiar with me, so I talked about it a little." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, you're busy after Zhou Ying."

"Yes, you're busy."

"By the way, you sit here, I just saw your seat, in the front row."

As soon as she opened her mouth, the others, who were still surprised and puzzled by what was happening over there, immediately believed it.

Even though, in their eyes just now, this Queen Zhou Ying held the face of the person in charge of the organizer and chatted for a long time in front of the public.

"I hope you can forget about those things just now." Zhou Jie continued to smile and said, "I also hope that all media friends can delete what you just filmed, after all, the scene just now, people who don't know still think that we have an improper relationship." ”

"I've deleted it, Mr. Zhou."

"I deleted it too."

"And me!"

The media scrambled to cut out the 'scoops' on camera, missing an opportunity to make a lot of money and get a promotion and raise.

"Thank you then."

Zhou Jie nodded politely, "Everyone is busy first, I have some other things to do here." ”

In an instant, a group of people who were still watching her tightly seemed to suddenly wake up, and they were doing their own things again.

"Zhou Jie is here."

Chang Zhengwei stood there in a trance, the whole person was stunned.

"Wake up."

Yu Wenxiu stared at Zhou Jie, who was walking over in the distance, "She is a cultivator." ”

"Huh?"

Chang Zhengwei turned his head a little dazed, "She? Did something just happen? ”

He has no memory.

In his memory, he heard a louder noise suddenly outside the door, and then Zhou Jie walked in, that's all.

"Yes, I think something happened."

Yu Wenxiu looked at the person walking towards Lu Zhengyi in the distance, "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”

She took the arm of Chang Zhengwei, who was still stunned, and walked over.

Yu Wenxiu also has no memory.

Even though she was also a cultivator, the memory of what had just happened was blank.

But compared to Chang Zhengwei, who doesn't feel anything wrong.

But she was very aware that her memory was missing, and she was not fooled by it.

At the same time, she touched the amulet on her chest, a little suspicious of the effect of this thing.

Or is this thing just for ghosts?

"Sorry, excuse me."

In the distance, Zhou Jie approached cautiously, and as soon as she came, as soon as she spoke, the people next to her gave way.

"Let them go."

Lu Zhengyi looked at her and said casually.

Zhou Jie, who was still a little nervous about whether he would disturb his 'interest', listened to this, put her mind at ease, and waved her hand.

And those who were around immediately walked away.

Apart from......

Zhou Jie's face stiffened and looked at the two people who were approaching behind Lu Zhengyi.

Isn't it, hey, they're also cultivators, didn't they say, let the others go away?

How are these two disobedient?

I've been looking for people for so many years, and I've seen two people.

As soon as I met Lu Zhengyi, one or two came out.

Or are those who have tried it before actually pretending?

They just watch their own clumsy performance, but pretend they don't know?

Thinking of this, Zhou Jie's face turned even redder.

She regretted it, very much and had a feeling of social death.

"Lu, Director Lu."

Yu Wenxiu pulled Chang Zhengwei, who was already sluggish, and walked over with great difficulty.

Yes, tough.

She was fine before she walked over, but when she got closer and heard Zhou Jie say the words to let the others around her leave, the unconscious thought of wanting to obey rose again, so that it ......

"It's our crew." Lu Zhengyi casually raised his hand and patted Chang Zhengwei and Yu Wenxiu on the shoulders, "Let me introduce, Yu Wenxiu and Chang Zhengwei, they are all actors who often work with me and are very focused on their acting skills." ”

And the two of them, who were still extremely reluctant, suddenly woke up at the moment when their broad palms slapped on their shoulders.

Even the memories that I had 'forgotten' just now have come back.

It's like those 'words' that are applied to the body are scattered under this beat.

"It turned out to be Director Lu's person, no wonder."

Zhou Jie recognized the two of them at this time, and while nodding at them, the shame in her heart dissipated a little and became thoughtful.

When I watched Lu Zhengyi's movie before, it seemed that there were indeed these two actors.

So, what he was doing before, is Lu Zhengyi also doing?

It's just that because I'm too weak, those behaviors seem childish and humiliating.

"So you were hiding from me just now?"

But then, Lu Zhengyi looked at her again and talked about the scene just now.

"Huh?"

Zhou Jie, who thought that people hadn't paid attention at all, suddenly became embarrassed again, "It's not, it's not." ”

"It's just that my previous thoughts were too frivolous, so I was a little nervous when I met you."

"However, regarding some spiritual matters, the contemplator of the mind-cultivating mind has already made it clear to me, and I will not do the same kind of thing before."

Knowing that those masters are hidden in the people, how can she still be presumptuous and arrogant?

"yes, that's good."

Lu Zhengyi looked at her with a smile, "It's not easy to maintain this peaceful world, Teacher Zhou, you have to keep and try to resist that strange thought." ”

"Ming, understood."

Zhou Jie replied stiffly.

Although it is said that the person in front of him is a round smaller than himself.

If you worked hard when you were young, you can have a son as big as Lu Zhengyi now.

But I don't know why, when she faced the other party, she didn't feel like facing a young man in her twenties at all.

Is it because of your practice?

Is it because of the disparity in strength?

She didn't know.

"Speaking of which, if I want to cooperate with Mr. Zhou in the future, is there a chance?"

Looking at her nervous and obedient appearance, Lu Zhengyi struck while the iron was hot, as if he had mentioned it casually.

"Of course, of course."

Zhou Jie hurriedly replied, but as she spoke, she became hesitant again, "Director Lu, what do you mean...... Acting? ”

"Of course it's filming, apart from filming, what else can we work with."

Lu Zhengyi replied as a matter of course, "Let's say it first, I don't have the ...... you want to conquer."

He was going to tell Zhou Jie's previous thoughts.

"This kind of thing doesn't need to be explained too clearly, Director Lu."

But before she finished speaking, Zhou Jie, who was still nervous, suddenly interrupted, and at the same time, she politely nodded to Yu Wenxiu and Chang Zhengwei behind her.

Come to think of it, she didn't want more people to know about her previous ideals. ’

That sounded like an unrealistic fantasy of a high school student.

Zhou Jie was so embarrassed that Lu Zhengyi didn't continue to say it, and just gave up.

And while they were chatting, the award ceremony gradually began.

The chaotic venue began to become orderly, and people were seated according to their pre-arranged seats.

Yu Wenxiu and Chang Zhengwei sat in the actor's area because they were actors, while Lu Zhengyi sat in the first row with several directors and screenwriters from uncles and uncles he had seen before.

For such occasions, he does not appear to be inhibited.

The other people next to him also took good care of him, and would talk to him from time to time, trying not to make him feel embarrassed, or being photographed sitting alone there.

"Now it is the Best Actress Award that has been issued, and this time the winner of the Academy Award for Best Actress is ......"

"The directors nominated for the New Director Award this time are Director Lu Zhengyi who directed "Curse", and Director Xu Yulin, who directed "Chunhua", directed ...... These three directors. ”

"Now, let's invite the two guests in charge of awarding the awards to appear, and at the same time take a look at their respective films, and remind everyone present that Director Lu's film is a horror film, and when the clip is played, please be mentally prepared."

Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Actor......

With the announcement of one award after another, it soon came to Lu Zhengyi's nomination for the New Director Award.

Although it was a nomination, the result he already knew.

Soon, the screen behind the host began to play a fragment of "Curse", although it was only a fragment, many people present still frowned secretly, especially some older people, who closed their eyes directly.

This is probably one of the reasons why horror films are rare to win awards, whether they are foreign or domestic.

Not everyone can accept horror movies.

Especially horror films with quality.

"Congratulations to Director Lu for becoming the winner of the Academy Newcomer Director Award this time!"

And with the completion of the three films, a professor from the Beidu Film Academy and a veteran director were grinding for a long time, and finally announced the results of the three nominees below early in the morning.

"Let's invite Director Lu Xiao to come to the stage to accept the award, this is the first director in the history of Tang Guofilm to make a horror film and win an award so far!"

But with the words behind them, everyone present suddenly became serious.

They suddenly realized it.

This is the first director in Tang Guo to win an award through a horror film.

The first, always stands out.

And after today, the film history of the Tang Kingdom, in the textbooks and textbooks of all domestic drama and film schools, will be updated, and the name Lu Zhengyi will leave a very strong mark in it.

At the same time, no one will question Lu Zhengyi's status in the domestic horror film market.

Their eyes turned to the front row, the figure who stood up.

The figure and face that used to be burly and fierce in the past seem a little distant and hazy under the fluorescent gaze of the stage at this moment.

"I am very happy to receive this award today. But I can't do it alone. ”

After Lu Zhengyi received the award from the hands of the two old-timers with both hands, he bent down in gratitude, nodded to them, and then came to the microphone, "This award is the result of the efforts of everyone in our Meicion crew." ”

"And I'm just the director, on behalf of everyone in the crew, to receive such an award."

"It's a pity that today, all the members of our crew can't be there, only our teacher Yu Wenxiu and teacher Chang Zhengwei accompany me, but I believe they are watching this scene through the live broadcast at this moment."

As he spoke, he looked down at the auditorium.

Yu Wenxiu and Chang Zhengwei stared at this scene with wide eyes.

And the footage and fluorescent lights of the scene also fell on them in due course.

However, Lu Zhengyi did not stop, and continued:

"At the same time, I'm very grateful to all the fans who have supported us, and it's your love of horror that has brought back the glory of this seemingly niche genre."

"At this moment, I just want to say a word to all the people in our Plum Fox crew and all the fans who support us through the camera."

"Guys, we did it."

As he spoke, he pointed at the camera and held up the trophy with one hand.
