Chapter 77
Not long after, several signature dishes were brought to the table one after another.Seeing that it was Geng Zhou and Ye Zhiyin, the proprietress came out of the kitchen and greeted them warmly. All the dishes were served, and Geng Zhou found an extra dessert.
It is lotus flower crisp, sweet but not greasy, it melts in the mouth.
He lowered his head to hide the smile at the corner of his mouth, and pushed the lotus cake towards Ye Zhiyin tacitly, and said in a low voice, "The lady boss really has a heart, I still remember that you like this dessert."
Xiaomu said in surprise: "It turns out that Brother Ye likes to eat desserts."
Ye Zhiyin took it for granted that the action of extending the chopsticks into the plate froze slightly, and asked coldly, "Is it not possible?"
Xiaomu scratched his head and said, "It's not impossible, it's just... I don't have many friends of the opposite sex around me, and I have a sweet tooth."
Ye Zhiyin bit off a piece of lotus cake very comfortably, without looking at her, and said: "That's because there are too few men around you. I'm not talking about you. You stay at home except for work every day. You can't find a boyfriend." .”
There were thorns in his words, but Xiaomu ignored the sarcasm inside and outside of Ye Zhiyin's words, and grabbed the trunk in a daze and asked: "Brother Ye is right, I just know too few people of the opposite sex, and I have been single for more than 20 years." .”
Geng Zhou smiled and said, "It shouldn't be, our Xiaomu is cute and has a good personality, how can we not find a boyfriend."
On the surface, Ye Zhiyin lowered his head and ate lotus cakes, but he was slandering in his heart. He was also good-looking and had a good personality. Before he met Geng Zhou, he had been single for more than 20 years.
As soon as Xiaomu heard Geng Zhou praised her, she immediately blushed. She turned to look at Ye Zhiyin, and said falteringly: "Actually, Brother Ye is right, but my circle is too small and I know few people of the opposite sex. Brother Ye, you If you know anything, just introduce it to me."
The little girl was indeed a little girl, and as soon as she finished speaking, she became extremely shy, and hurriedly lowered her head, pretending to be counting rice grains.
Ye Zhiyin almost choked, but Geng Zhou saved him with a glass of cold water in time.
He said sullenly: "I only know you, Brother Zhou."
Hearing this, Geng Zhou secretly glanced at him, and couldn't hide the smile on his lips.
Xiaomu couldn't believe it at all. How could Ye Zhiyin, who is in the entertainment industry, not have a few contacts in the entertainment industry, she was surprised: "Is it true?"
Ye Zhiyin didn't feel ashamed, so he nodded.
Xiaomu asked: "Then what about the resident guests in "I Am Your Friend"? Variety show cafe, actor, Shen Xiang..."
Before Shen Xiangbei's full name was mentioned, Ye Zhiyin frowned, he interrupted Xiaomu stubbornly, and said, "They don't count."
Xiaomu could see that Brother Ye's mood suddenly changed. She didn't understand what she said wrongly. She was in a good mood, talking and laughing. Why did Ye Zhi mention "I am your friend"? Yin is not happy.
Could it be that he has conflicts with those permanent guests?I didn't see it.
Geng Zhou picked up a dish with his serving chopsticks and put it on Xiaomu's plate. He tilted his head and said, "It's not unusual. If it's the best, I only have Zhiyin by my side."
Xiao Muzhi noticed that when Geng Zhou helped Ye Zhiyin pick up vegetables, he didn't deliberately use the serving chopsticks. When it was his turn, he remembered the serving chopsticks.
And Ye Zhiyin, a clean freak, didn't care that Geng Zhou used his own chopsticks to pick up the food for him, and ate it happily.
This feeling is really good enough.
Xiaomu was in a daze for a moment because of this detail, and when she wanted to reintegrate into the atmosphere of the two, she found that she couldn't.
Geng Zhou had already chatted with Ye Zhiyin about the details of the movie "Banquet".
He had seen this movie in his previous life and won an award, so he was really impressed.But this rebirth, even the plot of the movie has changed.
It turns out that in that life, "The Banquet" mainly revolved around the male and female protagonists, and there were very few scenes about the master, so it could really be called a "guest star".But when Ye Zhiyin played this version, the plot changed drastically, and the memory lines added at the end were not there before. It can be said that Ye Zhiyin added a lot of drama.
In his opinion, the role of the master is not like the version in his previous life, mysterious but flat, a character that the audience can't figure out or see through.
The characters themselves are not as affectionate as they are now.
He remembered the version in his previous life. After the master rescued the heroine from the gallows, he clapped his hands, threw her to the hero, and returned to his ancient tomb in a cool manner. He has a ruthless and decisive personality.
The male protagonist was killed in the chaos, and the female protagonist was left alone and helpless, and gradually became black.
The current version has added a lot of plots, which also enriched this originally thin character, becoming flesh and blood, flavorful, and more controversial.
Presumably Director Liu really appreciates Ye Zhiyin, which is why he changed the script like this.But Geng Zhou felt that many professional film critics would feel that the changed plot was more romantic, and they might not accept this set, and the pinnacle of zero negative reviews in the previous life might be a little different.
However, Geng Zhou has to say that he likes this version better than the previous version which was free and easy.
After all, in the last version, apart from lamenting the film production, natural play, and smooth plot, it was difficult for him to be as moved as watching the movie this time.
The moving face of this supporting role may make some people dislike feelings more than the rejection of the plot party. They will think that even Liu Yutong has changed his style of filming, less crisp and straightforward, and more Qiong Yao-style mother-chirp .
But Geng Zhou felt that such a movie had penetrated into his heart even more.
As expected by Geng Zhou, the movie "The Feast" has only been premiered for an hour or two, and there are many different voices on the Internet, with sharp tongues and mixed praises and criticisms.
Talking about the overall effect of the movie is divided into two genres.
Netizens can basically see that film production is very conscientious. The most important word for this conscience is "picture". Director Liu has his own stubbornness in making movies. People's visual enjoyment must be excellent, like a picture scroll, like a landscape, fascinating.
But admitting that the picture is exquisite and criticizing the plot are not contradictory.
Most people think that the plot of "Banquet" is very good, and it blends perfectly with its pictures. It tells the sad life of a woman, from high-spirited to ashamed. This plot is very moving and can be given full marks. .
However, there are a small number of movie viewers who are used to watching police movies and sci-fi dramas. They don’t buy this kind of romantic and beautiful Jianghu romance drama. on the script.
There are different opinions on the plot, but the overall evaluation is still good. After all, domestic films have been in a downturn these days, and the films released are from "a low score of a few points to an ultra-low score of a few points". months.
Domestic films really need a film like "The Feast" that is above the standard line to wash their eyes.
So no matter what is said on the Internet, this film did get a high score of 9.3, which is [-] more than the score Geng Zhou remembered.
Soon, "Banquet" received five nominations for the Wuhua Awards, namely Best Actor and Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director and Best Picture.
As for Ye Zhiyin's first foray into the film industry, he received a nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
While Geng Zhou was excited for Ye Zhiyin, he was more distressed.
This scene was added by Liu Yutong. Ye Zhiyin didn't know that Director Liu had added so many scenes for him. It can be said that he was very innocent, but many viewers on the Internet are fans of the hero.
Ye Zhiyin added to the scene, and the male lead did not reduce the scene, but with Ye Zhiyin next to him, the character of the male lead became less glamorous.
This caused dissatisfaction among many fans.
@呵呵哒: I watched the movie, and I have nothing to say, the 60 yuan is well worth the money, but I want to ask the director, what did you say about adding a scene to a certain fresh meat at the press conference? @刘宇通Director V
@心爱我大男主: Is our family really the hero?I watched the movie, why do I think the role of Master is more brilliant?Can the crew give us an explanation.
@ Nothing to say: Hey, the director must be looking at Ye Zhiyinhong, and wants to attract more fans to earn box office.
@很力了: My cousin went to see a movie and asked me if Master is the hero?Me: "..." Director Liu, this is different from what was agreed.
Ye Zhiyin received a lot of personal attacks, so Liu Yutong took the initiative to hold a press conference and answered many online questions.
Liu Yutong clarified again: "I remember last time I said that we have two scripts, and the screenwriter and I both like the second script, but we can't find a suitable candidate for Master. This time it's just Ye Zhiyin The performance is good, and it is only natural that the second script was used. The rumors on the Internet that he brought money into the group and that I added dramas to him after seeing his popularity are all rumors. If someone slanders, I think I will submit a lawyer's letter. See you in court."
The reporters were all taken aback, this Director Liu is really a ruthless character, he can do such an extraordinary thing in an ordinary thing.
Under Liu Yutong's demonstration, those rumors gradually disappeared on the Internet, but entertainment reporters are not vegetarians, they will ask sensitive questions if they catch one.
Once the leading actor in "Banquet" participated in a fashion show, he was caught asking this question non-stop.
The male protagonist said helplessly: "Just let me go, our crew is very good and harmonious, and we don't accept provocations."
Another reporter called the actor's agent. This agent is famous in the circle for being outspoken. When the reporter saw that the actor's side couldn't work out, they took the agent's path.
The agent was a lot more frank. He said on the phone: "Are you saying that a leading actor is not as good as a supporting actor, are we willing? It's true that I'm not reconciled, but it's because people can act well and fight for it. We have any solution."
He paused, and continued to say frankly: "I watched the movie, and I don't think the main character is overwhelmed by the supporting role, so it's up to the beholder to see his own wisdom."
After finishing speaking, the manager hung up the phone, and the next day's title was "Feasting actor Li Jue's manager said: "I'm not reconciled, but I can't help it.""
This report was taken out of context, and was quickly forwarded and clarified by the agent himself.
@李瑜的经典V: There are so many unscrupulous reports these days. Fortunately, I recorded all the audio, otherwise I would have been framed to death by this kind of media.
This manager is really courageous. Ordinary people would probably shy away from this kind of thing, but he was not afraid, and directly posted the original audio.
For a while, passers-by came to eat melons. After reading the report and audio, they decided that this was indeed an unscrupulous reporter. They stood on Li Yu's side and praised the manager for his honesty and sincerity.
After being scolded by the company's leaders, the agent who walked into his office thought that if time could be turned back, he would be cautious in his words and deeds. Was deducted wages by the boss.
A week later, the popularity of "Banquet" not only did not drop, but reached a feverish state, and the movie will not be removed from the shelves for a while.
Geng Zhou and Ye Zhiyin flew to Luoyang for an event, and were also picked up by reporters about "The Feast".
The questioner was a female reporter. She was very emotional and had actually seen the movie. She liked the role of Shizun very much and followed behind like a little girl. She asked Ye Zhiyin cautiously: "What do you think of this visit In the film industry, how are you doing?"
Ye Zhiyin said calmly, "It's not bad."
The female reporter said sincerely: "But I think you did a great job. I went to the premiere and cried watching it."
Ye Zhiyin frowned, looked at Geng Zhou, and silently thought, he also watched this movie last time, so he probably cried too.
Ye Zhiyin always feels that Geng Zhou loves to cry, which is different from Geng Zhou's usual style, but there is no way, the facts are in front of him, Zhou Zhou is a crybaby, watching movies, TV dramas or scripts, always Emotional.
Geng Zhou blinked suspiciously and asked him what's wrong.
Ye Zhiyin also expressed nothing with her eyes, and still remembered to thank the reporter for her love for the movie and the characters.
He thought this was the end of the interview on this topic, but he didn't expect that the female reporter was completely caught in the plot, and still asked enthusiastically: "Then in reality, do you have the personality of a master? You will also do it for your lover." Are you so forbearing?"
A normal star should tactfully express that he is still single, so as to avoid unnecessary speculation and misunderstanding from fans.
But Ye Zhiyin shook his head very straightforwardly and said, "No."
He paused, and said what he wanted to say a long time ago. Ye Zhiyin said frankly: "Personally, I don't like the role I played. He revealed the heroine's personality to those in the martial arts world. Her identity brought her to the verge of life and death, and the source of all this was just that he wanted the heroine to be rescued and returned to him. Isn’t this selfish enough?”
The female reporter was speechless by these remarks, and she stammered to defend her favorite character, "Isn't this... because the master loves sex?"
Ye Zhiyin said seriously: "All the harm done to your lover in the name of love is selfish."
It was the first time Geng Zhou heard Ye Zhiyin's interpretation of his role, and felt novelty and surprise, so he couldn't help staring at his profile.
The female reporter was about to cry, she was still trying to save something: "But our audience likes Master very much, he is really pitiful."
Ye Zhiyin shook his head, and his tone was softer: "The authorities are clear, but the bystanders are fascinated. The heroine in the movie can see clearly, so she feels relieved after she takes revenge in the end."
The female reporter said: "But...but if Yan Se knows that Master likes her..."
Geng Zhou interrupted the female reporter with a smile, and said softly: "No, in her eyes, nothing is more important than revenge for her husband."
The female reporter was stunned, and then slowly realized that the movies she had been reading for a week did not teach her affection, but determination and cruelty.
Standing next to the female reporter was her senior brother. The senior brother couldn't bear the shattering of the little girl's dream, took the initiative to take the topic, and asked Ye Zhiyin: "Then will you be someone like Master in your life?"
The ball was thrown at this point again, Ye Zhiyin denied again: "No."
The male reporter smiled and asked, "Is it because you said not to hurt your lover in the name of love?"
Ye Zhiyin showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time in front of the media, and the smile that curled his lips captivated a group of people.
"No." Ye Zhiyin said, "It's because I won't give the person I like a chance to like someone else."
All the girls at the scene were screamed by Ye Zhiyin's words.
……
After the event was over, Ye Zhiyin and Geng Zhou went back to the car to repair, and they had to catch the next announcement in the afternoon.
That's an endorsement.
Since the two became popular in separate ways, in addition to endless event announcements, many luxury brand endorsers seem to have thrown away the olive branch of mainland spokespersons.
The endorsement they are going to accept in the afternoon is the most valuable endorsement since their debut half a year ago. This is a clothing brand from Europe and the United States. In addition to clothing, they also make jewelry lines, which are also very famous.
The value of this brand is very expensive. A suit costs nearly 100 million. The average star can't afford to wear this brand of high-end clothing on the red carpet, let alone ordinary people.
And the endorsers of this brand in the past few years were all top-tier international movie stars. Lin Quan felt really lucky to be able to find Geng Zhou and Ye Zhiyin this time. He valued this endorsement very much, so he put All the endorsements of the same type were pushed, and only this one was left, just to let the brand see the sincerity of their company.
Not surprisingly, both Geng Zhou and Ye Zhiyin accepted the endorsement, becoming the only idol group in China to accept the endorsement of this brand.
After the two of them filmed the advertisement, they both reposted it on Weibo.
Now the entertainment industry exploded.
You must know that the endorsement of this brand is what many Xiaohua and Xiaosheng are looking forward to. With the sponsorship and love of the brand owner, when they attend important events, they don't have to wear outdated styles from last autumn in this spring and summer to make others laugh .
Especially the little female stars, after the contract between an international actress and the brand expires, they are looking forward to this cake.
You must know that this brand is still a well-known wind vane in the circle, and whoever you point out as the endorsement will become popular.
In the end, he was cut off by Geng Zhou and Ye Zhiyin.
This is also considered a major event in the entertainment industry. Not only did fans scream, but even marketing accounts and passers-by reposted it non-stop.
At the end of the summer vacation, two major events happened to Geng Zhou and Ye Zhiyin.
One is the nomination for Best Supporting Actor, and the other is that "Excerpt" has gone through many obstacles and finally started broadcasting.
That day, Ye Zhiyin wore the endorser's new spring and summer suit and walked through the red carpet without Geng Zhou.
He took his seat, surrounded by people from the production team of "The Feast". On his left was the director Liu Yutong, and on his right was the leading actor Li Yu.
In the end, "Feast" won two awards, Best Picture Award and Best Actress Award.
The Best Supporting Actor Award nominated by Ye Zhiyin was taken away by another old artist.That artist has played a supporting role for more than 20 years. Because of his appearance and resources, he never played the leading role when he was young. When he gets older, he can't play the leading role.
He has been dormant for more than 20 years, concentrating on acting in supporting roles. He never imagined that one day he would be nominated for Best Supporting Actor in the Wuhua Award, let alone that he would defeat all the popular niches and win this gold-rich trophy.
He is old and still unwilling to stoop.
The old artist straightened his back, held the trophy high with his left and right hands, and said with tears, "I...I..."
The actress presenting the award next to him handed him a tissue.
The old artist said thank you, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, broke through his tears and said with a smile: "I made everyone laugh."
The star below waved his hand emotionally, allowing the old artist to continue talking.
The old artist finished a more official acceptance speech with his chest up and down. At the end, he suddenly added: "...I, I want to tell you that even if the road ahead is difficult, you just need to keep your original intention and grit your teeth. There's nothing wrong with going on."
There was thunderous applause.
Liu Yutong approached Ye Zhiyin and said in a low voice: "Don't be unconvinced, this artist, I have been playing tricks in the crew when I was young, alas, it's been more than 20 years, and he really won this award deserved."
"I know." Ye Zhiyin didn't have the slightest resentment.
Liu Yutong looked down. Ye Zhiyin was still looking directly at the awards stage, but she was holding a tissue in her hand, presumably to hand it to Director Liu.
Liu Yutong smiled and cursed the brat secretly, pulled the tissue over, and wiped the corners of his eyes in embarrassment.
In the evening, the crew of "Banquet" held a grand celebration banquet.The celebration banquet was held on the upper floors of a five-star hotel.
Seeing that Ye Zhiyin doesn't like drinking, the crew must get him drunk.
Ye Zhiyin drank too much, his face and ears were red, he stumbled to the bathroom and splashed cold water on his face, still not quite sober.
He bent down and glanced at his rather embarrassed self in the mirror.
Ye Zhiyin took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket and dialed Geng Zhou's mobile phone.Geng Zhou hadn't rested at this time, and he watched the live broadcast of the award ceremony, worried that Ye Zhiyin would not get the award, and was afraid that he would not be reconciled, so he waited for his news or phone call.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Ye Zhiyin sent a text message, saying that the crew had a celebration banquet and he would be back later.
And within an hour, Ye Zhiyin called.
Geng Zhou knew that Ye Zhiyin was drunk as soon as he heard it, and wanted to ask him where he was, and wanted Xiaomu to pick him up quickly.
In the end, Ye Zhiyin stunned Geng Zhou with one sentence: "Zhouzhou... let's go abroad for a trip this week."
Geng Zhou thought, it must not be what he guessed, and he asked, "Where do you want to travel?"
"It's fine to go anywhere." Panting, Ye Zhiyin supported the sink and stroked her wet hair, "As long as you can be legally recognized, you are my lover...you can go anywhere."
