Become a star after debuting from a romance show

"Hurry up, hurry up, if you dawdle any longer you might miss the award ceremony." Du Xiao stared at the time and urged Yan Ran.

As of today, it has been exactly half a year since the release of "Fist of Fury", and it is also the day of the Huayu Award, a domestic film award. As the annual box office champion last year, it is only natural for "Fist of Fury" to be nominated.

Yan Ran's fans have waited for so long, and finally this day has come.

"It's been five years. I've been a fan of her since Falling in Love at First Sight. Do you know how hard it is to be a fan of a director? There's very little news about her usually, and I basically get all the information I need from Xu Rui."

"There's nothing I can do. Directors and stars get different exposure. Three movies in five years, from independent movies to the big screen, it's not easy."

"It's really a triple jump. From winning awards for independent movies to now being a global sensation, it only took three movies. It's amazing."

"In the past, people always said that Yan Ran was riding on Xu Rui's popularity and heat. Today, she can finally shine and win the Best Director Award!"

"Who would have thought that Fist of Fury would be more popular abroad than in China, and the overseas box office was higher than the domestic box office. It's outrageous!"

"Yes, the global box office is 6 billion RMB, and the domestic box office is only 2.5 billion. The whole The crew was very surprised. Yan Ran later said in an interview that if she could predict the future, she would have gone to the Cannes Film Festival. "Yes, foreign film critics also said that it was a pity that "Fist of Fury" did not participate in the competition, otherwise it would not be a dream to win several nominations and one or two awards." "But Yan Ran also said that the road ahead is long!" The online discussion was cheerful, and Du Xiao finally pushed Yan Ran out of the door without hurrying: "Is Xu Rui waiting for you at the venue?" Yan Ran nodded: "He has a performance at the award ceremony today, so he will go to rehearsal first." "Yes." Du Xiao nodded. Xu Rui has too much traffic, and the media wants to find some news about him. Unfortunately, no black material has been dug out for so many years, so they can only make up some gossip. If Yan Ran walks the red carpet alone today, there will definitely be new rumors. Xu Rui was waiting for Yan Ran's call in the lounge, and Lu Ziliang was by his side. In the past few years, he had personally experienced the impermanence of fate. He didn't expect that he would suddenly become the agent of a top domestic star, and he was a singer and actor.

It is not uncommon for singers to make movies or actors to sing, but it is rare to be recognized by netizens in both fields, and Xu Rui did it with "Fist of Fury".

When the movie was released, when it was played on the media stream, nearly two hours of behind-the-scenes footage was specially released, allowing netizens to see the efforts of the team behind the scenes and how hard the actors worked.

90% of the action effects in the whole film are real, and they are produced by punches and kicks. Including Xu Rui, they were all injured after filming a play.

There is always a reward for hard work. With Xu Rui's conditions, he can make a lot of money by writing songs and singing with his talent, and he can also get top-tier pay for shooting idol dramas with his face, but he chose to work hard.

"Everyone has his own strengths. If you don't have this talent, no matter how hard you work, it's useless. It's a waste of the audience's time and your own time. It's better to write songs well." Such voices have been there during the filming. If the film fails, no one will see how hard Xu Rui works, and they will scold him for not doing his job properly and overestimating his abilities. His efforts will become evidence to attack him, and many people will proudly say "I guessed it a long time ago." Lu Ziliang made many public relations plans in his mind, such as releasing the second album immediately, but all worries were unnecessary. Xu Rui really "beat" the audience with just one movie and "beat" the Huayu Award ceremony. When he was distracted, Xu Rui's phone rang: "Brother Liang, Yan Ran is coming soon, I'll go find her." "Okay." Lu Ziliang got up to see him out, and went back to the car to wait, because there would be no seat for him in the venue. ... At 7 o'clock in the evening, the live broadcast of the award ceremony began. "What song are you going to sing later?" Yan Ran couldn't help but whispered, "You've been keeping it a secret and not telling me, can you tell me now?"

"No." Xu Rui shook his head, "Why are you so curious!"

"Annoying!" Yan Ran snorted.

Before they came, they had discussed what awards they could win. Although they had seven or eight nominations, they had no chance of winning "Best Actor" and little hope of winning "Best Director", but they had a chance. The most stable awards were "Best New Actor" and "Best Action Film".

Sure enough, the "Best New Actor" selected earlier was given to Xu Rui, who went on stage to receive the award, gave a proper speech and then left.

After returning to his seat, he whispered, "There will be no awards for me later, I'll go backstage to prepare for the performance."

"Yeah." Yan Ran nodded and watched him slip backstage.

In the nanny car in the parking lot, Du Xiao, Lu Ziliang, Fan Shuyi and others crowded together to watch the live broadcast.

"Are you all ready?" Du Xiao asked, "Don't make any mistakes!"

"No." Lu Ziliang said.

"How did the organizer agree?" Du Xiao was a little curious.

Lu Ziliang smiled and said, "I didn't agree at first, but you know, there are sponsors for official events. Guess who gave the money?"

"Emmm..." Du Xiao said she understood.

After a while, the name of "Fist of Fury" was called again in the venue. As expected, it was the best action movie!

Amid applause, Yan Ran walked up to the podium. After the host handed her the trophy, he stopped her and didn't let her say her acceptance speech: "Don't worry, Director Yan, your process today is different from others, and you will receive a special gift."

"Ah?" Yan Ran was a little confused.

The host smiled and said: "Because there will be a performance after the award is given, at the request of the performer, we will advance the stage to before you give your acceptance speech."

Yan Ran knew it was Xu Rui's idea as soon as she heard it, but before she could say anything, the lights on the stage went out, and then in the darkness, it seemed like a Milky Way flowed in, placing her in a starry sky.

The prelude of the music sounded, and Xu Rui slowly walked out from the backstage, holding a microphone: "The stage for today's performance is a new song called "Love Letter to Filmmakers." This song is dedicated to all filmmakers in the history of Chinese films. ”

In the nanny's car, Du Xiao was confused: "What's going on? Isn't it for Yan Ran?"

"The pattern, sister, the pattern must be opened!" Fan Shuyi likes to use this word recently.

Du Xiao ignored him.

On the stage, singing sounded.

"How many people love the grace you left behind on the screen

How many people love your independent attitude

your eternal innocence

Child's expectations

The helplessness of self-admiration

Who understands the sorrow you carefully hide?

Who understands the memory on your faded face

You are flawlessly chic

Fear in my heart

Slowly oozing out the paleness

You are struggling to pursue eternity

Life is bumpy and unpredictable, regretful

You foolishly pursue perfection

But I keep getting misunderstood

To hurt, to give up, to blame

What sorrow, what sorrow, why bother to get rid of sorrow and suffering

Why laugh and curse hate and love

The world is just a place for you to stay

The Milky Way is where your soul wanders

The world is just your invisible dream

An accidental dream, an earthly dream

Use your body to dream of silver-colored dreams

"Dream within a dream"

Listening, many people understood. This song is indeed not sung to Yan Ran alone. There is beauty and purity in this song, but there is also regret and sadness. The "you" in the song represents every filmmaker. , directors, actors and even moviegoers.

This song is about movies and life, and it seems to have a hint of "the world is not worth it".

However, at the end of the song, Xu Rui came to Yan Ran, knelt down on one knee, took out a jewelry box from his pocket and opened it to her.

The singing stopped, but the beautiful accompaniment was still there. Xu Rui took the microphone and said: "For directors and other filmmakers, shooting a film is like creating a world. Your daily life is to create a world that makes you and the audience happy." A dream that is immersed in with the outer body.

But for many people, movies are beautiful, but life is broken, and I want to promise you that you don’t need to use your body to have silvery dreams. I will do my best to light up your dreams. Let life be brighter than the Milky Way!

Yanran, will you marry me? "

On the stage, Yan Ran bit her lip gently and blinked her eyes a few times, obviously not wanting to let tears stay. She took the microphone handed over by the host and said with a smile: "There are a few words in the song just now that I remember are 'Human World'" It's just your place of residence, the Milky Way is the place where your soul wanders.' I want to say now, both my heart and my soul, I just want to be with you.

So, I do! "

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Du Xiao cried before Yan Ran in the nanny's car.

Fan Shuyi turned around and handed the paper over. He looked back and saw Lu Ziliang secretly wiping his eyes with his sleeve. He thought about it and pretended not to see it.

Li Chuanping was working overtime, and the award ceremony was playing in the small window of his computer. He quietly sent a message to Xu Rui: "I was so moved. I even want to resign and go to Hongmeng Pictures to let you support me for the rest of my life!"

Amidst the applause of the audience, Xu Rui put a ring on Yan Ran, and the two walked off the stage without even giving an acceptance speech.

…

In the interview area, countless reporters surrounded the two people.

"When are you going to have the wedding?"

"This time I won the 'Best Action Film' but missed the 'Best Director'. Is there anything you want to say?"

"You won the 'Best New Actor' award for your first movie. Will your focus shift to the film and television industry?"

Xu Rui is well versed in dealing with the media. Faced with many problems, he calmly talked nonsense: "I was quite worried that I would be scolded for being so pushy, but then I thought about it. We usually keep a low profile. Once in a while, everyone should be able to forgive.

In the future, I will still focus on music. In terms of film and television, I hope everyone will pay more attention to Yan Ran and Hongmeng Pictures. "

The reporters were dismissed with a lot of chatter, and the two people hurriedly left the venue.

As soon as he arrived at a place with few people, Xu Rui took Yan Ran's hand.

Yan Ran lowered her head to look at the held left hand, and her eyes fell on the ring finger. The ring was more beautiful and dazzling than the moonlight tonight: "This hold will last a lifetime and never let go."

Xu Rui smiled and said: "I can't ask for it."
