Chapter 471 The song ends and everyone disperses
South Fourth Ring Road.
Xu Kun hadn't come back yet because he had to be interviewed by CCTV, but the Best Actor trophy had been sent back in advance and was being held in Jiang Yiyan's hands, wiping it again and again.
At the previous sister gathering, her Nan Tian Men was clearly not yet established and was clearly weaker than the Teddy Sisterhood. However, Xu Kun was the first to call her, which allowed her to steal the show in front of the other girls.
So I can’t let go of this trophy.
At this time, Bao Qiang grinned and led a man in, introducing him to Jiang Yiyan: "This is Brother Zhao, the assistant director of Blind Well. Brother Kun and I were taken care of by him a lot back then."
"Of course, of course."
Deputy Director Zhao rubbed his hands, his eyes fixed on the Golden Lion trophy.
Although he is a director, he has basically no chance of winning major awards in his life. It is a rare opportunity for him to get so close to the three major European trophies.
Seeing this, Jiang Yiyan had no choice but to hand it to him reluctantly and said with a smile: "I've heard Brother Kun mention it several times before. This time I finally get to meet Director Zhao in person."
"Easy to say, easy to say."
Assistant Director Zhao was so busy flipping through the pages that he had no time to talk to Jiang Yiyan.
After a while, he reluctantly returned the trophy and sighed, "When I saw them go through the mine disaster and still dare to go down to the mine to film, I knew they were definitely extraordinary. I didn't expect that Director Xu would achieve this in just a few years."
At this time, someone was peeking outside again, and Baoqiang hurriedly called Director Zhao to go to his home next door.
As soon as Director Zhao left, Hao Lei walked in with two women.
Jiang Yiyan recognized them without any introduction and greeted them immediately, "Teacher Lu, Sister Xiaoran!"
Following Hao Lei in were Lv Liping and Li Xiaoran.
After exchanging a few words with Jiang Yiyan, the two men took the trophy from her again.
Lv Liping motioned to Li Xiaoran to look at it first. Li Xiaoran held it in his hands and marveled at it. Although there was nothing new about the trophy itself, what it represented was what every actor dreamed of.
When Lv Liping received it, she was even more moved, and kept repeating: "I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it..."
Seeing her eyes full of nostalgia, Hao Lei smiled and explained: "At the beginning, it was Aunt Lu who helped Kun'er and I join the crew of "Young Emperor". However, she certainly didn't expect that this recommendation would produce a Venice Film Festival Best Actor!"
In fact, Lv Liping's inner feelings are far more than what she described, but that is not something she can tell outsiders.
Because Lv Liping was a senior, Jiang Yiyan personally sent her and Li Xiaoran out. When she returned to the study and was about to wipe the tiny fingerprints off the trophy with a glasses cloth, she found that Qin Lan had already got there first.
Seeing Qin Lan lowering his head and carefully wiping the trophy, and not even noticing that she had returned, Jiang Yiyan couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Although he was "favored by the Emperor", the treatment Qin Lan received was also unique. Except for that time when he was drunk, he basically enjoyed exclusive favor.
After feeling jealous for a while, Jiang Yiyan gradually realized that something was not right with Qin Lan, or rather, something was wrong with her as early as the day before yesterday when the sisters had a gathering.
"What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Yiyan felt that as the temporary head wife, it was necessary for her to pay attention to the mental health of the second wife.
"nothing."
Qin Lan was awakened from his thoughts and shook his head slightly. He subconsciously thought about putting the trophy he had wiped repeatedly back on the bookshelf - there were five or six trophies on the lower shelf, including the Thai Best Actor Award, the Golden Eagle Award, and commendation awards from Beijing and Taiwan.
But before putting it on the table, Qin Lan froze again. She stared at the spotless trophy in her hand, looking at it again and again, until another acquaintance came to see it, and then she placed it on the table solemnly.
what the hell?
Jiang Yiyan said speechlessly: "There are people here, why are you still putting it up there?"
As she spoke, she went over and carefully took down the trophy. When she turned around, Qin Lan was gone.
"Mysterious!"
Jiang Yiyan muttered something but didn't take it to heart and continued to greet visitors as a hostess.
…………
When Xu Kun returned home, it was already past seven o'clock.
CCTV, Beijing TV, Huayi Film Group, China Film Group, State Administration of Radio, Film and Television... He ran around all day, and if he hadn't tried his best to refuse, he would still be unable to get away.
When he got home, he saw several women surrounding him. He quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't bother me for now. Let me eat something to fill my stomach."
The girls had to stop talking for the time being, but the eyes they looked at were still very passionate. Qin Lan, who had the best cooking skills, silently brought out the food. Xu Kun picked up the chopsticks and steamed buns, and suddenly remembered something. He turned around and ordered, "Turn on the TV. CCTV will have an interview with me soon."
Yang Mi was the first to grab the remote control, and the girls' attention was temporarily attracted to the TV.
Only then did Xu Kun start to eat voraciously.
About seven or eight minutes later, the TV really started broadcasting an interview with Xu Kun. However, before interviewing him, the reporter first interviewed the fans who were drawing the lottery across from the airport.
The reporter praised Aikun and others' actions, believing that this was the correct way for celebrities to guide their young fans.
During the interview, more than one Aikun mentioned last year's stock turmoil. Some said that it was because of Brother Kun that their family was saved from bankruptcy, while others regretted that they did not persist, resulting in most of their family members continuing to be trapped.
This news had already spread on the Internet during the release of "Assembly", and there was also a slogan: Trust Brother Kun, cure all losses, and do not contain sugar.
Now with CCTV’s report, the influence is not limited to the Internet.
However, Xu Kun's attention was no longer on the TV program at this time. He drank a sip of soup and turned to look at Qin Lan who had been sitting silently beside him.
"Is something wrong?"
Qin Lan hesitated and nodded at him.
Xu Kun immediately stood up and said, "Let's go to the study and talk."
However, Qin Lan did not stand up, but raised his head and said seriously: "Let's say it here and let everyone be a witness."
Xu Kun seemed to sense something, frowned and sat back in his original position, staring at Qin Lan without blinking with his two crowned eyes.
Qin Lan also looked at him without any hesitation and said word by word: "I admit defeat."
With just these four words, the living room suddenly fell silent, with only the interview on TV continuing to play.
"What do you mean?"
Xu Kun's expression froze, and he wanted to make a joke, but Qin Lan went on to say, "There are more and more people around you, and I don't see the possibility of winning."
Hearing this, Yang Mi, who was sitting on the sofa, panicked. This seemed to be the words she had said to Liu Shishi. What if she failed to persuade Liu Shishi and instead persuaded Sister Qin Lan...
I can't take the blame for this!
Xu Kun knew that he couldn't get away with it, so he said in a deep voice, "Didn't we agree on three years?"
"Do you think you'll change for me, or do you want to tie me to you for three years?"
Qin Lan's rhetorical question immediately left Xu Kun speechless.
Qin Lan chuckled at this, stood up and said, "If I didn't have this award, I wouldn't have made up my mind, but the moment I saw you go on stage to receive the award, I suddenly realized that it's impossible for me to change you, and I will only get deeper and deeper into trouble."
Xu Kun remained speechless.
Just when the depressing atmosphere in the room reached its climax, Li Xiaolu suddenly stood up and asked, "If you break up with him, can we still be good sisters?"
"of course."
Qin Lan said without hesitation: "I don't want to lose a man and alienate my sisters."
"That's fine."
Li Xiaolu said as she ran to the refrigerator and placed cans of beer on the coffee table. "I don't think anyone here will be able to accompany him to the end. Whether he leaves early or late, there will be a day like this. What's so pretentious about that?"
As she spoke, she opened a bottle of beer and held it high: "Today we won't go home until we are drunk, to celebrate Xu Kun becoming the best actor in Venice, and to celebrate Qin Lan becoming a single noble again."
In response to her words, everyone remained silent, and the atmosphere seemed even more awkward and colder than before.
In the end, it was Xu Kun who took the initiative to pick up a bottle of beer, and the others followed suit silently.
Xu Kun opened his beer and clinked it with Qin Lan: "From now on you..."
He originally wanted to say, "Tell me if you get into trouble," but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, because Qin Lan definitely didn't want the kind of lingering relationship that Huo Siyan had.
So he finally changed his words and said, "I wish you can find true happiness in the future."
