In March, Jiang Mochen's previous film "Moving Flowers and Receiving Dreams" was officially released in China. This film had won an award at an international film festival, so it had a good reputation and the pre-sales kept increasing.
As the lead actor, Jiang Mochen naturally had to go to a road show to promote the film. However, he left a ticket for Yan Qingchi and they watched the premiere together.
"Moving Flowers and Receiving Dreams" told the story of Lin Yunhui, a teacher, who woke up and prepared to go to work as usual. However, his wife asked him at the dinner table how he was doing with his design. Lin Yunhui said that he was a teacher, so how could he draw designs? However, his wife said that he was obviously a designer. Lin Yunhui thought that his wife was joking with him, so he didn't take it seriously and left home to go to school. However, he wasn't a teacher at the school. Instead, his boss called him and asked why he didn't come to work today and why he hadn't handed in the design draft.
Lin Yunhui was surprised. He didn't understand. He was obviously a teacher, so why did everyone say that he was a designer? He searched for clues in his doubts and finally found the truth that shocked him.
The movie was full of climax after climax, with wonderful twists and turns. Under Jiang Mochen's interpretation, Lin Yunhui perfectly and vividly presented a pitiful and sad image that refused to admit defeat. The audience couldn't help but change with his emotions in the story, and finally sighed.
Yan Qingchi sighed with emotion for a long time after watching the film. He felt that life was like a dream, and dreams were like life. What was true and what was false, what was false and what was true.
While he was sighing with emotion for Jiang Mochen, there was good news for "Wulin in the Fog". "Wulin in the Fog" was successfully nominated for the Golden Goose Film Festival.
After the official announcement was released, the audience was in an uproar. They reposted the lucky draw on Weibo and prayed for "Wulin in the Fog". Yan Qingchi was also a little surprised. Although he made this film to win an award, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised that it was actually nominated.
He looked at Jiang Mochen. "Why do I feel that it's not so real this time?"
Jiang Mochen smiled and hugged her. "It's normal. When I was nominated for the Best Actor Award for the first time, I also felt that it was unreal. I'll get better after a few more times."
Yan Qingchi leaned into his arms, but she still couldn't believe it.
His excitement came a day later than everyone else's. The next day, Yan Qingchi woke up earlier than usual. He ran on the treadmill for a long time before he stopped. He sat on the ground and felt his heart beating faster. He couldn't tell if it was due to his increased heartbeat after exercising or the joy of knowing that he had been shortlisted. Perhaps it was something else entirely. However, when he realized that he was only one step away from his goal, he couldn't help but feel a sense of homesickness.
For the first time, Yan Qingchi began to worry seriously. What if he didn't win the award this time? If they didn't win the award, would they still have to delay their relationship going public?
Yan Qingchi sat quietly on the ground and thought for a while. Then she went back to her room to take a shower. Jiang Mochen was woken up by him. He looked at his watch and realized that it was time for him to get up. As soon as he sat up, Yan Qingchi walked over and sat down in front of him.
"Good morning." Yan Qingchi kissed his eyebrows.
Jiang Mochen smiled and kissed him back. He asked him, "Why are you up so early today? I can't even hug you."
He knew that Yan Qingchi had woken up around five or six o 'clock. He hugged Yan Qingchi and wanted him to sleep a little longer. However, Yan Qingchi didn't agree like he usually did. He only kissed him and asked him to continue sleeping.
Jiang Mochen was used to accommodating him, so he let go of him obediently. He fell asleep again due to drowsiness.
Yan Qingchi looked at him. When Jiang Mochen first woke up, he always looked like a lazy big dog. He looked very approachable and made people want to get close to him. Hence, he went up to him and hugged him. He said softly in his ear, "Then I'll let you hug me now."
"Am I arguing with you about this?" Jiang Mochen said. He hugged him back and asked, "Is it because of the nomination?"
Yan Qingchi nodded. He looked at Jiang Mochen and said honestly, "I'm actually a little nervous."
"Nervous?"
"Yes, I'm a little worried. I was nominated, but I didn't win anything." He looked at Jiang Mochen and said, "When I acted as Meng Luo, I had just entered the entertainment industry. At that time, I only wanted to make money. Did I put in any effort for Meng Luo? I did, but it was just putting in the effort. Including his nomination, I was in a very sudden state of shock. That feeling was like a pie falling from the sky. It was so beautiful that it was unreal. So although I wanted to win an award, I didn't feel too sad if I didn't win it. "
"But this film is different. From the beginning, I wanted to win an award for this film. It was indeed nominated for the main competition. But the higher you climb, the harder you fall. I was afraid that this film wouldn't win anything. I was afraid that I would sit on the chair again and only be able to applaud others. Of course, I know that I've been very lucky all this time. Even if I failed this time, I still have a lot of opportunities in the future. But the desire to win and lose made it impossible for me to calmly face the possibility of failure this time. That's why I thought about it a lot this morning. "He looked at Jiang Mochen." I've decided that regardless of whether I win an award or not, this year, we will announce it to the public. "
Jiang Mochen didn't expect him to make such a big decision. "You've thought about it?"
Yan Qingchi nodded and said, "A person's hard work can determine the direction of some things. This is what it means to rely on one's own strength to turn the world around. But there are also some things that are determined by the heavens and cannot be controlled by one's will. For example, luck. Actually, winning an award also depends on luck. If I don't win an award for the rest of my life, will we not announce it for the rest of our lives? Since we have to announce it eventually, and we've already done the groundwork last year, and the situation this year is so good, why don't we do it this year? Since there are enough CP fans and it's easier for others to accept it, we can announce it directly. "
Jiang Mochen smiled and hugged him. He patted his shoulder and said, "You're too nervous, so you put too much pressure on yourself. Actually, you don't have to be so nervous. Although I want to announce it, I'm not in a hurry. One or two years won't make a difference between us. "
He lowered his head and looked at Yan Qingchi. He coaxed him softly, "You're a very outstanding person. You're also very talented in acting. Even if you don't win an award at the Golden Geese Film Festival, there are still other film festivals and domestic Golden Laurel Awards. Even if we take 10,000 steps back and don't win an award for this film, the next film, and the one after that will also win an award. The groundwork that has already been done won't be taken back, and it won't change either. Our relationship is very good. This is something that everyone already knows, so it doesn't have to be this year or next year. "
Yan Qingchi looked up at him. Jiang Mochen's eyes were filled with gentleness. He said, "If I wanted to announce it, everyone would already know by now. If you didn't have the ability to win awards and popularity was your ceiling, then I would have announced it long ago. But once you have the ability and ambition, then announcing it will become a kind of restriction on you. Everyone won't see your hard work and progress, and will only put my mark on you. And after this, if you win an award, they will only give the credit to me. This is unfair to you. "
"Let's do it this way." Jiang Mochen reached out a hand. "Let's make an agreement. If you don't win an award this time, then I'll wait for you for five years. Within five years, whether it's an award for a television drama or a movie, if you win any of them, then we'll announce it. I don't believe that the person I think highly of won't win an award within five years. "
"Then what if I really don't win an award?" Yan Qingchi asked him.
"That won't happen," Jiang Mochen said gently. "You're Yan Qingchi. There's nothing in this world that you can't do."
Yan Qingchi looked at him, and his heart was touched. His panic and nervousness not only stemmed from his own gains and losses, but also from whether or not they could win an award this time. This would directly affect whether or not they could announce their relationship publicly. He watched as Jiang Mochen paved the way for their relationship. He felt that Jiang Mochen wanted to announce their relationship openly in front of everyone. He wanted to satisfy him, but he was also worried that he wouldn't be able to.
If an award could be won by perseverance and hard work, then even if he had to walk down countless stairs by himself, he would continue to walk down them. Because he knew that as long as he continued walking, he would be able to get what he wanted. However, winning an award wasn't something that could be solved by the will of man. That was why Yan Qingchi felt so nervous.
He had never been afraid of any challenge, but he also knew that he couldn't win against God's will. Under this kind of self-imposed pressure, it was rare for him to be weak.
