On April 10, “Dreams” was officially released. Ling Qing and Yu Chen went to the cinema to watch the movie together.
The movie was more exciting than he expected. Zhou Xiaochuan’s shots were great, and the editing of the whole film was also amazing. Especially at the end, when the truth was revealed and everything returned to peace. Even Ling Qing, who was the lead actor and knew the plot completely, couldn’t help but feel shocked.
Ling Qing felt that Zhou Xiaochuan was indeed very capable. This was only his second work. He was not only able to create a movie that was more acceptable to the public based on the first one but also retain his essential core.
He wanted to say something, but it was too literary and no one watched it, so he changed the packaging, but still kept the heart of wanting to say something. He was thoughtful and persistent. Although he was a new director, he was extremely mature.
Ling Qing admired him very much.
After watching the movie, netizens posted excitedly on Weibo, “It’s so good, really good, the best of the year!! Director Zhou is great!! Ling Qing is great!! The screenwriter is great!!”
“Ling Qing’s acting is so good, there is really no trace of acting. I cried several times. In the last scene, when he fell asleep, I cried again.”
“I like Ling Qing so much, how could he act so well, the best of the show. I felt distressed several times when I saw his eyes. The director is really good at shooting. Every time he gives a close-up of his eyes, it is very touching.”
“My big, KISS eyes are sore from tears, but I still want to watch it again, the ending is so wonderful.”
“From today on, Ling Qing is my favorite actor. I’m going to paint a pie for myself, hoping that he can play my idol!”
Seeing this, Yun He simply bought a hot search for Ling Qing. After a while, the hot search rose to the top three, and all the comments were praising him. Some were praising his acting skills, while others were praising him for being so handsome and so suitable for the role of Mo Tang.
Netizens on the forum also expressed their opinions, “It is indeed much better than I thought. Ling Qing is simply the best actor in the crew and the soul of the entire movie. No wonder he was nominated for the Golden Phoenix.”
“I didn’t expect him to act so well. There were so many talented actors in the same crew, but he took them all. No one’s acting skills outshone him. Awesome.”
“Not only did he not let others outshine him, but in the following scenes, he was the focus of attention in almost every scene. His acting was so great that it was impossible to take our eyes off him.”
“I’m sorry. I underestimated him. I’ll start a thread to praise him later.”
“No need. It feels like he has already had a lot of posts today. If there are more, it will become Ling Qing’s super topic. There is no need to start a new thread.”
“I don’t know if Ling Qing can win the award this time. If he does, it will be a step up for him.”
“The main reason is that he is so popular now. If he wins another award, God, I guess all kinds of movies and TV series will want to find him in the future.”
“Even if he doesn’t win an award, with his current acting skills and everyone’s recognition of him, he should be the first choice of various directors for their new dramas.”
“I envy Ling Qing’s fans. They are simply fans who are just winning while lying down. Their idol is so strong and can carry them all.”
“Especially career fans. I guess they can wake up laughing even in their sleep.”
Ling Qing fans: It seems to be true.
The fans scratched their heads embarrassedly. They were quite embarrassed.
A week later, the Golden Phoenix Awards Ceremony was held abroad. Ling Qing flew abroad with Zhou Xiaochuan and others.
Yu Chen hugged him before he left, “I wish you a great success.”
Ling Qing smiled, “I will come back to you.”
He hooked his arm around Yu Chen’s neck and kissed him, “Wait for me to come back.”
“Yeah.” Yu Chen kissed back.
As an internationally renowned film award, the Golden Phoenix nominated actors and works were all very strong. So Zhou Xiaochuan advised him and Yang Wenwen, “You are all newcomers. It is naturally good to win the award, but it is also normal if you don’t.”
Ling Qing was very calm. He had experienced many such things and had long since calmed down.
Although Yang Wenwen was nervous, she probably didn’t expect to be nominated this time, so she didn’t have much obsession with winning. “I know, I’m just physically nervous, but psychologically I understand.”
Zhou Xiaochuan smiled, “That’s good.”
Yang Wenwen turned to look at Ling Qing, and saw that Ling Qing was calm, “Aren’t you nervous, Brother Ling?”
She said, “If you win this award, you will be the best actor.”
“It’s okay.” Ling Qing said calmly, “Awards are a recognition of acting skills. If you don’t win awards, your acting skills will not disappear. As long as you have acting skills, you will always win awards.”
When he was nominated for the best actor for the first time, he was so excited that he didn’t sleep all night. His mind was full of whether he could win the award and how to give his acceptance speech if he won the award.
For this reason, he also went to see other nominated works and carefully analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of each person’s acting skills. He felt that he was not bad and he should be able to win the award, but that time, he didn’t win the award.
Ling Qing sat in the audience, surrounded by warm applause, but his heart was empty.
He was silent all day, and then the next day, he packed up his unwillingness and depression and started again.
In this world, persistence may not necessarily lead to results, but without persistence, there would definitely be no results.
Ling Qing was the one who persisted, and was serious, so he succeeded.
His past success was not completely smooth and easy. He met too many people and saw too many things, so now, he could look at many things calmly and do everything with the best attitude.
Yang Wenwen saw that he was not surprised by praise or criticism, and she admired him very much. She always felt that he looked not much older than her, but he was much more mature than her.
I still have to work hard, Yang Wenwen encouraged herself in her heart.
After the plane landed, Ling Qing sent a WeChat message to Yu Chen: [I’m here.]
Yu Chen: [Have a good rest, waiting for your good news.]
Ling Qing: [What if it’s bad news?]
Yu Chen was dissatisfied: [How is that possible.]
Ling Qing smiled: [Okay, wait for my good news.]
Yu Chen looked at his phone, feeling inexplicably nervous, and finally had to send another message: [Even if you really don’t win the award, it doesn’t matter. This is only your first movie. You will have many more movies in the future, and there will be many possibilities.]
Yu Chen: [You will definitely win the award, it’s just a matter of time.]
Ling Qing looked at it, and it seemed as if a spring breeze was blowing through his heart, making him feel warm and relieved for no reason.
Of course, he knew that he would win the award sooner or later, it was just a matter of time, but now, seeing another person express this kind of trust and support for him, he still felt happy.
Especially, since this person was Yu Chen.
He was always happy because of Yu Chen, as if the existence of Yu Chen was enough to make him happy and satisfied.
No matter when, Yu Chen was always special to him.
Ling Qing smiled, selected a kissing GIF, and replied.
Zhou Xiaochuan took them to the hotel, and they rested for a night. The next afternoon, they walked the red carpet together.
The moment the red carpet photos came out, Ling Qing’s fans couldn’t help but scream “Ahhhhh”, “Too handsome!! Too handsome!! Brother, kill me!”
“Oh my God, brother, you are wearing a three-piece suit, so stylish, I am so cute.”
“But brother, ancient costumes are also very good-looking, three-piece suits are too bad, I want to see brother in ancient costumes more.”
“I want to see brother in a white shirt.”
“There are no white shirts today, only black shirts, brother, listen to me, take off the suit, and just wear the black shirt inside.”
“I also want to see brother wearing a shirt alone, but the suit looks good too, it’s so difficult for me, I want to see it all, sob.”
“If you ask me, sisters are still too naive, doesn’t he look better without anything on? Brother, I want to see you half-naked!”
“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, I want to see it too!”
“Brother will want to hit someone if he heard it.”
“Brother refused and asked you a question.”
“Brother is so handsome in his outfit today, I hope he can win an award in the end. I am willing to be a vegetarian for a month and pray for my brother to return with honor.”
“I am willing too!”
Yu Chen looked at the pictures on the computer and thought that he could really handle any clothes well. Every piece seemed to be tailor-made for him. He was just a walking clothes rack.
Little Ling Yuning sat in Yu Chen’s arms, pointed at his computer screen with his fingers and shouted, “Dad, Dad.”
Yu Chen picked him up in surprise and made him face him, “What did you just shout?”
“Dad, Dad.” Ling Yuning said, waving his little hand.
Yu Chen smiled and said, “Say it again.”
“Dad, Dad.”
“So good.” Yu Chen kissed him.
Little Ling Yuning looked innocent and continued, “Dad, Dad.”
“When your dad comes back, you can call him like this again, understand?”
He turned the baby in a different direction. The baby saw Ling Qing’s photo at a glance and said happily, “Dad, Dad.”
“Yeah.” Yu Chen pointed at Ling Qing and him and said, “He is your dad. Your dad has worked hard for you, so you must be good in the future and can’t make him angry, understand?”
The baby nodded, held his finger with his little hand, put it in his mouth and bit it.
“Dirty.” Yu Chen tapped his little chin.
The baby smiled with his eyes curved and tried to grab his fingers again.
Seeing how cute he was, Yu Chen reached out and held his hand, then bent down and kissed his little face, “Why are you so cute?”
The baby also kissed him, grinning.
Yu Chen poked his face, his heart full of tenderness.
If only Ling Qing were here now.
“When your dad comes back, you must remember to kiss him.” Yu Chen whispered, “Dad will remind you then.”
While teasing the baby, he was browsing the news about Ling Qing on the Internet, and while he was refreshing, he heard his cell phone ring.
The baby excitedly reached out to grab the phone, but before he could reach out, Yu Chen grabbed it first.
“Hello.” He said softly.
On the other end of the phone, Ling Qing’s voice was as gentle as honey. He said, “Xiao Yu, I have good news to tell you.”
Yu Chen felt that he had guessed the content of his good news. He smiled and said, “That’s great. I also have good news to tell you.”
“Then you go first.”
“The baby can call daddy.”
Ling Qing was surprised. “Really?”
Yu Chen put the phone close to the baby and said to him, “Dad is on the other side.”
The baby had no idea what the rectangular box in front of him was or what it could do, but he was very familiar with the two syllables of dad, so he shouted, “Dad, dad.”
Ling Qing smiled, “Hey.”
He then said gently, “The baby is so cute.”
Yu Chen put the phone back to his ear, “What about your good news?”
Ling Qing listened to his voice and slowly overflowed with joy and pride as he said, “Xiao Yu, I won the award.”
