The battle that had been accumulating for two days lasted for a long time and almost missed the plane.

At this moment, the two were flying back to Kyoto.

"I suggest you go to the nursing home. When I was a volunteer, I went to the children's welfare home and the nursing home. The life of the elderly is actually very depressing.

Now I don't want to go to the nursing home. The hospital receives us as if we are dealing with an inspection. We are more like a show. You can explore this topic in depth."

After Yang Lingyue talked about his general idea, Zeng Li said.

"Well, your suggestion is very good. What you learn from books is shallow. I will observe more." Yang Lingyue nodded and said.

"The story is very touching, and it coincides with the Olympics. It's a good topic. Can I play the role of the daughter?" Zeng Li asked.

"I can't give you an accurate answer. I have to decide on the leading actor before I can decide. I still have to take some similarities in appearance. It's still early." Yang Lingyue said.

"Oh, that's right. If you want to shoot, you have to wait until the weather is hot." Zeng Li thought about it and didn't ask again.

For her, it would be best if she could act, but it didn't matter if she couldn't. From their last collaboration, she knew that her boyfriend had high requirements and was very serious about his work.

This was what she liked, so she naturally wouldn't force it.

It was already past 10 o'clock when they got home.

10 kilometers, the course in the afternoon, 4 and a half hours of flight, very tired, washed her face hastily and went to bed.

"I'll be at home for the next two days, come back when you're free at noon, I'll cook."

Zeng Li said when Yang Lingyue went out the next morning.

Yang Lingyue didn't want to eat vegetarian food.

"Okay, I'll call you when I get back."

She got on the electric scooter and came to school.

She entered the classroom, found the roommates, and walked over.

"Yang Lingyue, "Special Deal" is popular, congratulations."

A classmate said so.

"Why didn't I know?" Yang Lingyue looked surprised.

"It's very popular online, and there are reviews on the rating websites."

After sitting down, Wang Zizhao next to him said, looking excited.

"Oh, how is the evaluation?" Yang Lingyue asked curiously.

"There are praises and criticisms, but most of them are praises. The criticisms are inexplicable and not on point." Cai Chuyuan, who was one body away, answered.

"Yes, some people say that it is forced to be sentimental. Obviously, we made such a touching film with such care." Wang Ni in front said indignantly.

"Well, I'll take a look at it at noon. Don't easily believe in others' praise and affirmation, and you won't be easily hurt by others' denial and criticism." Yang Lingyue nodded and said.

Yang Lingyue was called to the office by the head teacher Yang Lin at 10 o'clock in the morning.

There were two trophies on the table.

"Your "Curved Surface" won awards, both for the best short film. This is the European Film Award and this is the Dubai International Film Festival. Leave your card number, and the prize money will be transferred to you through the school's account. One is 10,000 euros and the other is 50,000 US dollars. Dubai is rich."

Yang Lin said directly, and was very emotional when talking about Dubai.

"Teacher, doesn't this school allow you to hang a banner or something?"

Yang Lingyue asked seriously.

Yang Lin immediately had a lot of question marks on her head, then smiled and said, "When you win the three major European awards or the Oscars, I will put you up there."

"Hehe, then I will work hard." Yang Lingyue smiled innocently.

This kid is doing this on purpose, I will put you up there when the time comes, and you will be waving in the wind.

"It's just a short film, don't be arrogant or impatient." Yang Lin reminded.

"Okay, then I will go back to class." Yang Lingyue replied.

"Wait, pay attention to your email, someone will ask you to buy the copyright. Also, "Curved Surface" has been shortlisted for the Rotterdam International Film Festival in January, the Berlin Film Festival in February, the Hong Kong City Independent Short Film and Video Competition in March, and the New York Tribeca Film Festival in April."

Yang Lin gave another surprise, because she was also happy while talking.

"Hey, I know." Yang Lingyue said.

For a moment, Yang Lin didn't know what to say. Didn't she just ask for a banner? The latter ones, especially Berlin and Tribeca, are heavyweights, why is she calm instead?

Alas, there are still fewer film festivals in winter. You know, the original film won more than a dozen best short films, and this is just the beginning.

Yang Lingyue walked in the corridor with two trophies.

It was during the break, and he received countless congratulations and questions along the way.

Yang Lingyue answered and thanked implicitly.

Flattery is the most gentle and most easily ignored trap. Yang Lingyue was not pretending to be cool or anything. He was also happy, but not so excited.

After returning to the classroom, the trophy was taken away and passed around.

The classmates looked at it with envy, and few were jealous, because the gap was a bit big. Instead of being jealous, it would be better to join the crew to film like the few people Yang Lingyue had been leading. Not only would they get paid, but they could also experience the life of the crew.

The most important few people did not fall behind in their studies, and their understanding of theory was much deeper than theirs.

It was not until noon that Yang Lingyue took back the trophy in the name of a dinner party in the evening.

Everyone knew there was a bonus.

As for how much, Yang Lingyue didn't say, only that the cost was recovered, about 500,000 RMB.

In half a morning, it seemed that the whole school knew that "Curved Surface" won the award.

Riding on the electric donkey, Yang Lingyue felt that everyone was greeting him.

When he returned home, there were already three dishes on the table, well, all vegetarian, but Yang Lingyue smelled meat.

"Ah, did you win a prize?"

Zeng Li came out of the kitchen with a look of surprise.

"Well, "Curved Surface" got it."

Yang Lingyue handed the trophy to Zeng Li, who rushed over, and went to the bathroom to wash her hands.

"Honey, you're awesome."

"Well, you said the same thing yesterday."

Yang Lingyue wiped the water stains on his hands and said expressionlessly.

"Annoying."

Yang Lingyue then talked about the name and prize money of the award, as well as the shortlisted awards.

"Can we eat now?" Yang Lingyue asked.

"Eat yours." Zeng Li smiled.

"Where's the meat?"

"Oops, I forgot."

Zeng Li turned around and went into the kitchen and brought out a plate of braised pork ribs.

"You bought it outside, let's eat it."

"Thanks."

Yang Lingyue’s sincere thanks.

"How does it feel to win the award?" Zeng Li asked.

"I'm happy." Yang Lingyue replied while grabbing the rice.

"Why do I think you're not happy?" Zeng Li looked at her boyfriend and asked curiously.

"I got it in the morning. I can still smile all the time, and I'm not going crazy with a smile." Yang Lingyue said.

"Do you want to go to Berlin?" Zeng Li asked again.

"If you don't go, there is no unspoken rule that short films will not be awarded if you don't go. Even some film festivals won't say it on stage when they officially award awards. They will just tell you the results and that's it." Yang Lingyue explained.
