Chapter 40 Awards Ceremony...

When Lu Hao called, Ji Tianyou was still sleeping soundly in the quilt.

"Who is it..." Ji Tianyou muttered.Liang Pei's physical strength is not so good, and he was tortured enough last night, he actually got up early and went to work as if nothing happened.

"Still asleep? You don't even know about such a big news?" Lu Hao said in an unusually excited tone, "This year's Academy Award nominees are out, and you've been nominated for Best New Actor!"

"What?!" Ji Tianyou suddenly woke up and jumped up from the bed, "Are you serious?!"

"Of course! Your performance in "A Picturesque Country" has been recognized!" Lu Hao also smiled over there, "Congratulations!"

"Great! Thank you! Brother Hao!" After hanging up the phone, Ji Tianyou crumpled the quilt and sat on the bed. He was stunned for a long time to digest the news, then suddenly thumped the quilt hard, and laughed loudly. "That's great!!!"

The award ceremony was held at the Culture and Art Center of City B one month later.Every year, the Academy Awards ceremony is full of stars, and this year is no exception.Walking down the red carpet at the Academy Awards is every actor's dream, and even if his ultimate goal is to sing, he's still thrilled.

The spotlights around were flickering frantically, and the crowd was like a surging tide, desperately fighting for a better position.Many famous entertainers, who can only be seen on TV, were generous, holding their female companions, or waving gracefully and chicly to the crowd, and roses were even thrown into the venue on both sides.

Ji Tianyou clenched his fist, got out of the car, and walked along the red carpet.He wore a well-fitting black suit today, a white shirt with a stand collar, and three brown buttons lined up on the neckline of the shirt, adding a little casual element to the somewhat rigid and dull attire.He didn't invite a female companion. Although he was alone, he still couldn't stop the smile on his face. He kept nodding to both sides, signed his name on the wall, and took pictures.

What is apprehensive in my heart is more novelty and excitement.Ji Tianyou walked into the reserved seat, nervously waiting for the start of the awards ceremony.

After the melodious music sounded and a lyrical "Meet Tonight", the long-awaited Academy Award ceremony finally officially began!

The first award is the best new actor award.Following the opening remarks of the two hosts, one male and one female, the five actors shortlisted for the best new actor were invited to the stage one by one.Ji Tianyou stood on the stage with a natural and generous smile on his face, but his whole body seemed to be on fire.

Although he knew that the other four shortlisted actors were all good, he still had a little hope in his heart that would not be extinguished.He wants to win this award!He wants flowers and applause, he wants people to admire him, and he wants to prove to everyone that he is capable!

With the flickering of the big screen, the performances of the five actors in the movie were replayed, and Ji Tianyou once again saw himself who had fully entered the role in "A Picturesque Country".

The host, who was nearly fifty years old, turned around with a smile: "Sure enough, talented people come out from generation to generation. The performance of these five new actors in the movie this year is really not to be underestimated."

"Yeah, let's not keep it secret, I believe everyone has been waiting for a long time." Another young hostess replied.

"Okay!" The male host opened the envelope in his hand, filled it with words, and said slowly: "Win this year's Golden Image Award..."

There were small beads of sweat on Ji Tianyou's forehead.

"...Best New Actor's..."

His hands were tightly pressed against his side, tightening somewhat unnaturally.

"……yes--"

The sound of the heart beating violently came from the chest cavity.

"Let's congratulate - Ji Tianyou!"

His eyes turned white for a moment, and Ji Tianyou worked hard to stabilize his figure.The two hosts took him to a place in the middle of the stage, stood on one left and one on the right, and immediately handed him the golden trophy.

"It seems that our Ji Tianyou is very excited." Seeing his still blank expression, the hostess teased and asked, "I won the award, do you have anything to say?"

Ji Tianyou took the microphone and the trophy, looked at the audience in the audience, and his heart was full of enthusiasm: "Thank you! Thank you to the judges and audience, thank Hua Cheng, thank you to the crew who gave me this opportunity, and thank you to all the audience who supported me , my friends and family...to receive this award today...I-I'm so happy!!"

"Very frank and very grateful!" The host patted him on the shoulder.

Ji Tianyou laughed a little embarrassedly, picked up the microphone again, and said, "Well, besides that, there is one more person I want to thank."

Under everyone's somewhat curious eyes, Ji Tianyou pursed his lips and looked sincerely at the auditorium.He knew that Liang Pei must be watching him from somewhere in the auditorium.

"Without your support and encouragement, without your help and company along the way, I would not have won this award today...I love you!!"

The audience was in an uproar!This is the first time for a new actor to make such a public and bold confession at the Academy Awards ceremony!Until he stepped down from the stage, many people were still guessing who the person Ji Tianyou was talking about was.Lu Hao was more straightforward, grabbed his shoulders and asked, "When did you get your girlfriend? You didn't even tell me!"

Ji Tianyou stuck out his tongue: "Brother Hao, do I have privacy too?"

"An artist's privacy is not privacy. You have confessed so directly, and you will be annoyed by the paparazzi in the future!" Lu Hao said, and suddenly became serious, "Next time, don't say it without my permission." This kind of thing, if you don't handle it well, it will easily ruin your future."

Ji Tianyou was still immersed in the great joy of winning the award, he just nodded and said perfunctorily with a smile: "Got it..."

***

The awards ceremony continued in full swing, after which many singers performed songs with different styles on the spot, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic.Ji Tianyou was watching the rest of the awards ceremony when he was suddenly photographed.

"God bless!"

He turned around and found that Yang Xiuyu had sat behind him at some point, and the star who was originally sitting behind him had changed to Yang Xiuyu's seat!

"Hello senior brother!" Ji Tianyou immediately said politely.

"Best new actor, congratulations." Yang Xiuyu smiled warmly at him, his amber eyes narrowed into two crescent moons.

Ji Tianyou tilted his head and smiled: "Thank you! It's also thanks to senior brother for your great promotion, otherwise I would not have been able to get this award."

"Hehe, in the end it's your strength. Otherwise, even if I recommend you to Huang Wenshan, he may not let you act." Yang Xiuyu paused, and asked inquiringly, "...do you want to go out for a walk? ?”

"Eh? Now?" Ji Tianyou glanced hesitantly at the awards ceremony that was still going on on stage.

Yang Xiuyu pursed his lips and smiled: "Of course. I haven't seen you for a few months. It's hard to run into each other once. Don't you want to chat?"

Ji Tianyou thought for a while, turned to Lu Hao and said something to Lu Hao, and made an apology gesture in his helpless eyes, then turned around and said to Yang Xiuyu, "Let's go!"

With a glance, he saw Lin Mu standing in the corner of the hall with sharp eyes. After a while, a middle-aged man pulled him out of the venue together.

The Culture and Art Center looks oval from the outside, and the modern metal material forms a streamlined shape, enclosing various internal facilities, and there are open-air squares, ornamental gardens, and rockeries in the center.The two avoided the crowd all the way, walked out of the grand theater where the award ceremony was held, walked out along the corridor, and wandered casually in the open space.

Originally, it was just talking nonsense, but Yang Xiuyu seemed absent-minded all the time, and his response was not as serious as before.Ji Tianyou finally couldn't help but ask, "Senior brother, what's on your mind?"

Yang Xiuyu was taken aback for a moment, and smiled apologetically: "No...it's not really a concern. I'm just a little confused."

"What doubts?" Ji Tianyou asked again.

Yang Xiuyu turned her head, took a deep breath, and asked in a relaxed tone: "God Bless, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Uh..." Ji Tianyou bit his head and nodded, "Yes."

"Is that so..." Yang Xiuyu lowered his head thoughtfully, and asked again, "You two have a good relationship?"

"Of course." Ji Tianyou asked back with a smile, "Brother, why do you ask this? Wasn't my performance on stage not obvious enough just now?"

"Is the company allowed? Mr. Liang didn't say anything?" He asked suddenly.

Ji Tianyou's heart skipped a beat for an instant.He tried to stay calm, even showed his acting skills, and smiled exaggeratedly: "How could it not be allowed? Sometimes we deliberately create gossip for the sake of publicity! Besides, Mr. Liang, who is aloof, why would he take care of me as a small artist about?"

Yang Xiuyu remained silent, but the confusion between his brows did not decrease at all.With one hand on his forehead, he just muttered to himself: "How could it be...could it be true?...Impossible..."

"Brother, what are you talking about? Is it true or not?" Ji Tianyou was at a loss, completely unable to understand what Yang Xiuyu wanted to say.

Only then did Yang Xiuyu get out of his contemplation, shook his head, and smiled reassuringly: "It's nothing. By the way, your new album will be released soon, right? In the future, do you want to perform both in the arts or..."

Yang Xiuyu's questions always hit the nail on the head.Ji Tianyou sighed with some distress: "I have been working hard in filming before, in order to become popular, but now... I don't know anymore. Should I continue acting, or should I return to singing?"

"Do you like acting?" Yang Xiuyu asked.

Ji Tianyou was stunned for a moment, and gently moved the corner of his mouth: "It should be... I like it. I didn't feel much about acting before, but since I acted in "A Picturesque Country", I suddenly feel that filming is also a very happy and enjoyable thing .”

Yang Xiuyu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and stared at him half-jokingly: "Isn't it because I led you into the gate of the show?"

"... Well, speaking of it, it really is!" Ji Tianyou recalled the filming at that time, and said sincerely, "Every time I acted opposite you, my brother, I felt very enjoyable. When I saw you, It was as if I had really seen a living General Feng, and I fell into the drama unknowingly."

Ji Tianyou's black eyes seemed to be shining with light, looking at him intently, like some kind of small animal.Yang Xiuyu's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help reaching out and stroking his hair.

Feeling the warmth of that hand, Ji Tianyou raised his head to look at Yang Xiuyu in surprise, and the weird sense of disharmony that he had once came to his heart again.He subconsciously tilted his head to avoid his stroking. Yang Xiuyu paused, then withdrew his hand in time, and said, "God bless, you actually have the best acting talent."

"Ah?" Ji Tianyou was dubious.

Yang Xiuyu smiled slightly: "Yes. Because you are innocent, you can enter the play very well. And you know how to control, so you are real. Once you really play a certain role, you will devote yourself to it, not even your emotions. my own.

"No matter how you play it, it is actually fake. Only by treating yourself as a character in the play can you perform the best play."

"yes……"

Ji Tianyou's face was a little hot, he was embarrassed to look at him again, so he turned his head away.However, with such a tilt of his head, he was stunned in place.

Under the tree not far away, two familiar figures were embracing each other.
