Chapter 42 The final chapter
Five years later, the water city of Venice, the night of awards.
The chief writer of V magazine had temporary food poisoning, and newcomer entertainment reporter Jiang Chan had to bite the bullet and take over the task of direct visits overseas.
There was a serious mistake at the time of the handover. Although the photographer had already entered, she did not get the pass from the chief editor to enter the awarding infield, so she could only wait outside tremblingly to see if she could find a chance to block it. The main creators of "Xun", especially Xia Tingwan and Xu Zhe.
Halfway through the award ceremony, Jiang Chan has quickly received news from it.
Chinese-language films have achieved the best results in the past 20 years. "Looking" stands out among the best films, won the annual Venice Golden Lion Award, and Xu Zhe won the best director of one of the three major international film festivals for the first time.
However, Xia Tingwan, who had previously attracted much attention for her superb and moving acting skills, was nominated for the best actor, but eventually missed the best actor in Venice.
The 30-year-old Chinese actor did not become the creator of history in the end, and he was the youngest to win the title of actor in two of the three major European film festivals.
Some people have quietly speculated about this possibility before. Last year's Venice Film Festival had given the honor of the best actor to another European actor who appeared in a gay literary film. The homogenization of roles will inevitably make Xia Tingwan's competition this year extremely difficult. , what's more, the few actors shortlisted this year far surpass him in terms of age and qualifications, and the situation is indeed dangerous.
There is such a result, unexpected, not unexpected.
Jiang Chan was a little disappointed in her heart. Anyone who has watched "Xun" will inevitably be hit in the heart by Xia Tingwan's performance.
The dumb mountain town boy, although he didn't say a single line from beginning to end, his eyes, the scars on his face that he wanted to talk about, and his body movements, were like a lonely elf blown by the soft mountain wind. , makes people dream.
There was also a celebration feast after the awards. Jiang Chan wore a long skirt and stayed in the night wind until midnight, but the god of luck did not live up to her efforts.
In the middle of the night, she finally saw Xia Tingwan, who was wearing a Versace high-definition suit. Under the neat black suit jacket, the asymmetrical design of the shirt gave the whole set a serious design with a faint hint of playfulness.
She rushed up to stop Xia Tingwan on her high heels, and called the photojournalist on the other side.
"Xia, Mr. Xia, may I give you a brief interview?"
Jiang Chan stammered and said that it was the first time she had come into contact with an actor of Xia Tingwan's level so closely, and she was worried that Xia Tingwan might be in a bad mood and refused directly.
"OK."
Unexpectedly, Xia Ting firmly stood still and waited patiently for Jiang Chan's photojournalist to come over.
Jiang Chan's hands were shaking with excitement.
It has been five years, and no one in the circle has interviewed Xia Tingwan. heard that after he finished filming "Xun", he went to live abroad, and even the news was rarely sent back to China. Only the donation process after the income announcement at the end of each year has never been done. Not sloppy.
The water city of Venice in August and September has a pleasant climate.
Jiang Chan looked up at Xia Tingwan, and couldn't help holding her breath for a moment.
It is completely different from the movie. When Xia Tingwan appeared in real life, Jiang Chan was shocked by his amazing beauty in real life, as well as the gentleness and politeness completely different from when he first debuted.
The scars on his face are still obvious, but he looks more attractive than he was when he was 17 or 8 years old.
In the night, the eyes of a pair of peach blossoms were radiant, as if glowing with light. There was still no blemish on the smooth skin, and the lips had no makeup, showing a healthy and lustrous reddish color.
The signature upturned nose tip made him still have a natural purity in his temperament even at the age of 30.
"Xia Tingwan, are you satisfied with the results of this "Search"?"
As soon as Jiang Chan asked, she was a little angry that she was too straightforward, which reminded Xia Tingwan of unpleasant things.
"satisfy."
Xia Tingwan's voice was very pleasant when she spoke, and she was gentle and earnest: "Director Xu is my teacher, he has always wanted to win the Best Film Award at one of the three major European film festivals, and this year he finally got his wish and won the Golden Lion. Award, and the recognition of the Best Director Award, I am especially happy for him."
"As for myself." He smiled disapprovingly: "I'm already very happy when the show is full of fun. I can't force too much about awards. It seems that I can only make persistent efforts and continue to work hard."
When he smiled, those peach blossom eyes squinted, as charming as they were filled with brewed wine. He was really not affected by the loss of the award at all.
When Xia Tingwan said this, she suddenly waved over Jiang Chan's shoulder.
Jiang Chan turned her head and saw a tall man slowly approaching. Her eyes lit up and she quickly recognized it - it was Su Yan.
"My husband," Xia Tingwan took the man's hand naturally and introduced sincerely, "Su Yan, he accompanied me to the award ceremony."
Su Yan's clothes are much more serious than Xia Tingwan's.
The dark blue shirt was covered with a small silver-gray vest, and a red-gold dark-patterned tie was worn.
He should already be a man in his forties, but his figure is still tall and strong, and his muscles after careful exercise show beautiful lines under his shirt.
Su Yan looked very serious, with a tall and sharp nose, and dignified light gray eyes, like an old-fashioned and reserved old-fashioned aristocrat.
"Hello."
But when he shook hands with Jiang Chan, the temperature of his palm was very gentle.
Jiang Chan felt the cool touch between his ring fingers, and when he looked down, he realized that it was an emerald-colored ring.
"Hello Mr. Su, since you left the Hengtai Group, I haven't heard much about you in China. Have you been with Xia Tingwan for the past few years?" Jiang Chan asked.
"I'm studying in the United States." Su Yan's voice was low and magnetic, and he said slowly: "He accompanies me and lives abroad together."
Xia Tingwan couldn't help laughing aside, leaned on Su Yan affectionately, and continued, "He's always busy writing papers, when I'm free, I follow some Hollywood crews to shoot that kind of stuff. It's actually pretty fun for a small-scale B-horror movie."
Strangely, Xia Tingwan's temperament also seemed to have a subtle change when Su Yan was away and when he was with Su Yan.
As soon as Su Yan came over, it was difficult for him to think of the word mature again.
His smile became sweeter, and there seemed to be a faint light in the corners of his brows and eyes, as if he had returned to his carefree youth in an instant, which was extremely moving.
Jiang Chan didn't know why, but she couldn't help laughing. She asked softly, "So what's the next arrangement for the two of you?"
"The next life, or tonight?" Xia Tingwan asked, he didn't wait for Jiang Chan to answer, he continued with a laugh: "In the next life, we plan to set up our own film company and invest in some niche audiences. Art films, and documentaries. Our initial plan is to make some documentaries about domestic violence to raise public awareness of this topic. However, this will have to wait for me to accompany this scumbag to finish my degree. , let me tell you, it's really unbelievable that he will be repeated."
"It was the topic of the thesis that was found to have problems later." Su Yan was not angry, but explained honestly on the side: "And it doesn't count as a grade repeat."
"As for tonight." When Xia Tingwan said these words, a dimple appeared on her cheek.
He didn't shy away from the camera, he suddenly got close to Su Yan, kissed Su Yan's forehead generously and calmly, and said to Jiang Chan seriously, "Tonight is our tenth anniversary of marriage. , Su Yan and I are going back to celebrate."
After the interview, Su Yan carefully asked the driver to take a detour to send Jiang Chan and the photographer back to their hotel.
When waving to part, Jiang Chan looked at the palms of Su Yan and Xia Tingwan that were always overlapping each other, the two emerald rings were tightly pressed together, and she felt a burst of sigh in her heart.
When writing the manuscript that night, she turned over the manuscript written for Xia Tingwan by the editor-in-chief of her magazine when Xia Tingwan first debuted ten years ago.
"Depressed, gloomy, vulnerable, arrogant.
Xia Tingwan is a beautiful color from the deep sea, he is the symbol of the aesthetics of the next era, before he even realizes it. "
She took a deep breath, feeling a strange fate spanning ten years.
She found her own inspiration and typed the title of her manuscript in the quiet night: "The passing of an era: he is no longer a gloomy aesthetic symbol"
Subtitle: Missing the best actor, he lives in a stretch, like Xia Tingwan.
...
In those five years, many earth-shattering events happened in the entertainment industry.
First, Shi Miao's sex tape was exposed, and a young acting group who had not yet shined on the film and television stage became depressed, and even suffered from depression for a time. Even the filming process of "Search" was affected because of He Yanxi. He insisted on staying by Shi Miao's side. This time, he was with him for eight months.
Then Xing Le was photographed by paparazzi kissing a man in the street at midnight. Later, entertainment reporters searched and found the identity of the other half. It turned out to be the owner of a hot pot restaurant near Xing Le's house.
At that time, the entire entertainment industry was shocked, because the identity of this partner was indeed too rare.
However, Xing Le, who has always created a sunny and gentle personality, reacted surprisingly violently. The day after the incident was reported, he announced his permanent withdrawal from the circle. All public social accounts were completely deleted, and he left like a legend. people's vision.
Yin Ning left Fragrant Hill and lived with his mother after detoxification. He raised a golden retriever named Danny, who was an incredible baby.
On the 8th wedding anniversary of Xia Tingwan and Su Yan, he seriously painted a half-length portrait of them. In the portrait, the two of them wore Chinese-style red wedding dresses and looked beaming.
Xia Tingwan was very happy and hung the portrait in the bedroom where the two of them lived in Xiangshan.
In five years, Xia Tingwan also met Wen Zichen by chance.
At that time, he took Yin Ning's golden retriever to the pet clinic to see a doctor. He didn't expect to meet Wen Zichen in such a place.
Wen Zichen had been dating the elegant and elderly pet doctor for nearly a year at that time. Although he was a little embarrassed when he saw Xia Tingwan, he secretly followed him out and said to Xia Tingwan, "Don't ask me to beg me again. Yours, I want you to tell Su Yan what you told him."
"Time has changed, and I felt that I was very unreasonable at that time. I really don't want to say it. It's too embarrassing." Wen Zichen said with a very embarrassed smile.
Ye Bingwen's time was completely destroyed by Su Yan, and no one paid attention to his news after that.
Everyone always seems to have their own life track, some shocking, and some people feel sad.
But every little thing sounds something nostalgic and sad.
Ten years have passed in such a hurry.
On the tenth wedding anniversary, Su Yan handed the 362nd love letter to Xia Tingwan. The excerpts are as follows:
Tingting, see the letter.
Seven years ago, I secretly wrote two poems, but I was embarrassed to give them to you.
Maybe it's because I'm getting older now, and I feel that numbness is also romantic, so I have the cheek to attach it here.
"You are radiant, you are the god of beauty in the world."
I'm not perfunctory, but these two sentences are really my favorite two sentences from beginning to end in the past ten years.
Many words, the more straightforward, the more meaningful.
Just like after all these years, discovered the true meaning of life.
In the year we met, you were the actor and I was the chairman of Hengtai.
An era has passed, and we don't seem to be as glamorous as the past.
However, I feel more and more fulfilled.
You and I, like two drops of water in the sea, truly melt into this mediocre and wonderful world.
Wish us peace and joy, ten years after ten, Till death do us part.
Su Yan.
