Miss Gu and Miss Qu - Chapter 83
Gu Xizhi spent the whole night in the cold. At dawn, the sound of the door opening woke Gu Xizhi who was sleeping beside the bed, raised his head and Shen Ya appeared at the door, Gu Xizhi pinched Qu Xizhi’s hand and involuntarily tightened it.
“The nurse will come over later, don’t interfere with the work at home, and after one night, you should know that it’s useless to do so. After she finishes the operation, we will go to Italy and don’t look for her again.”
After Gu Xizhi listened to him finish speaking, his eyes slowly fell to Qu Xizhi.
She didn’t stop trying to communicate with her last night, and she didn’t respond as if she was deaf from the beginning to the end. Later, she also felt frustrated, so she let herself be attacked by sleepiness, but now she heard When Shen Ya said that, she became unwilling again.
“It’s not up to you to find her or not. We’re just engaged. It’s strange that she can be the master of everything. Also, if it doesn’t hinder the work of the nurses, of course it won’t.”
Shen Ya nodded lightly, “We’ll see how long we can last.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone vibrated and appeared in Gu Xizhi’s pocket. Gu Xizhi looked down, thought for a while, and took out the phone with one hand to connect, “Hello?”
Lili on the other end of the phone jumped anxiously, “What is Xiaojing doing? A contract of tens of millions will disappear if you don’t see it. Do you want to pay the company your next life? Also, do you know how many things you have to do? What the **** is it? ?”
Gu Xizhi looked at his watch, “I’ll go tomorrow, I don’t have time now.”
“It will be fatal!” Lili immediately said, “Boss Tian and the investors are all waiting in the office. If there is no one who is fired within an hour, Xiao Jing will weigh the importance. It doesn’t matter. This battle is important. Is it flat?”
Gu Xizhi was silent for a moment, “Wait, I’ll be right there.”
After hanging up the phone, he looked up at Shen Ya, stood up again and said in Qu Xizhi’s ear, “Come back soon, this is the last time, you must wait.”
Qu Xizhi was silent from the beginning to the end.
Many things in life and life are involuntary, and Gu Xizhi is moved around like a puppet all day long. Gu Xizhi returns to the thirteenth floor of the hospital as soon as work ends at 9 o’clock in the evening. Although he also expected to enter Qu Xizhi’s ward again It’s very difficult, but I never thought that I didn’t need to enter at all.
“I’m sorry miss, the patient in that ward left this morning, and I don’t know where he went.”
Watching the nurse complete the sentence with an apologetic face, Gu Xizhi just quietly rubbed the back of his hand injured by the whip, and did not say a word for a long time.
At ten o’clock in the evening, the streets of the city were deserted. Gu Xizhi parked his car by the side of the road and sat in the driver’s seat holding his mobile phone and waited quietly. After a while, a call finally came in. Gu Xizhi immediately connected, but the answer was unsatisfactory again.
After hearing what the other party had finished speaking, Gu Xizhi sighed slightly, “Keep looking, and you must do your best, no matter how long you look for.”
The other side of the phone probably gave an affirmative answer, and Gu Xizhi immediately threw the phone aside.
At the end of the year, Gu Xizhi was still working in an anxious and busy atmosphere, but whenever she had time, she would drive to the gate of Qu’s house and wait, even though she could not wait for anything, and never expected to enter that villa.
The arrival of the Spring Festival in early February filled the city with joy. “Black and White Feather” was released on the first day of the new year according to the original schedule. The days that should have been rest and reunion were doubled for Gu Xizhi due to pre-work and film promotion. Busy, at four o’clock in the morning on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Xizhi had just laid down to rest for a while, when a sudden but hopeful bell rang Gu Xizhi’s drowsiness.
“What? Qu Xizhi isn’t in the city?” Gu Xizhi said while taking a note of information on a piece of paper, “Tell me the address.”
After a long time without writing, Gu Xizhi quickly said, “Why call if you don’t know the address?”
The other party didn’t know what to say, Gu Xizhi’s expression suddenly became serious, “Are you sure he bought two air tickets to Italy tomorrow morning?”
Soon there was an answer back, Gu Xizhi held the phone, and after a while he said dully, “Got it.” He threw the phone away casually.
As soon as the phone on this side dropped, the phone on the other side rang again. Gu Xizhi looked at the time wearily, and the action of swiping the end button changed again due to the incoming call.
“Xiaojing.” After the call was connected, Lili urged tirelessly, “The place for the awards has just been confirmed, at the Cultural Center at 7 o’clock tonight, take a good rest, and the air ticket is at 2 o’clock in the afternoon.”
Gu Xizhi just responded casually, “Got it.”
In domestic film festivals, Jinding, Jinzong and Jintong are often compared due to regional relations, but the quality is always the same. This time, “Black and White Feather” was nominated for seven awards, including Best Feature Film, Best Director, and Two Best Actresses. Therefore, the news that the two female co-stars competed for the film before the awards ceremony has become the most reported by the media. It’s a gimmick, but it’s a pity that Qu Xizhi has been very low-key since the earthquake, and she hasn’t been seen in the film promotion or charity activities, so everyone’s target has become Gu Xizhi.
At four o’clock in the afternoon, Gu Xizhi stayed at the hotel. Before putting on makeup, Lili pushed a lot of brand-sponsored clothing. Gu Xizhi caught a glimpse of one of the red evening dresses with a lively style, and signaled Lili to stay. Lili looked at it for a while The strange and ostentatious red, I struggled for a long time to keep it together with a **** color dress of the same brand.
The party started at 7:00, and all the guests who had finished walking the red carpet were seated. There was no suspense that Qu Xizhi, who was also nominated for Best Actress, did not show up. This also disappointed the media reporters who had been waiting early in the morning. Fortunately, “Black and White Feather” missed the mainland The themes of the screening and the deletion of **** scenes aroused the media’s great interest. In the interview area, Gu Xizhi was almost overwhelmed by the media’s questions. The embarrassment was avoided only because fellow director Li Scarlett and She Jia, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, smoothed things over in time.
As predicted by the Internet and the media, this time the Golden Tong Award became the home of “Black and White Feather” because of Li Scarlett’s appearance. She has already won the top prize abroad, which marks a lifetime achievement. There is a sense of the presence of a king.
In the audience seats, Gu Xizhi and Li Scarlett were seated next to each other. When the best actress award was about to be announced after the nominated heroine works, Li Scarlett suddenly said, “This should be the last movie. I hope everyone is doing well.” .”
During the banquet, Gu Xizhi didn’t hear clearly, and after a while he understood what she meant, then he looked sideways and said, “Sister Jia, it would be a waste of your talent if you don’t make movies.”
“It’s like climbing a mountain. You’ve reached the highest peak. No matter how beautiful the scenery behind you is, it won’t be as beautiful as the top of the mountain. It’s better to look at the scenery from another place.”
Gu Xizhi nodded after a long while, “I wish you can see the most beautiful scenery on the other road.”
Li Scarlett turned her head and patted her on the shoulder lightly, “Get ready to accept the award, Qin Shiyu is the most beautiful scene in the film, and it will be the most beautiful scene.”
Gu Xizhi just lowered his head to look at the cell phone that was motionless.
The various lights on the stage created a dazzling visual sense. The male and female hosts wore solemn black and white dresses. The humorous hosting style made the scene feel serious and dignified.
“We all know that Jin Tong’s best actor has always been a male god, so what about the best actress?”
The young hostess turned the microphone to the audience seats with a smile on her face. The fans in the seats did not answer “goddess” as expected, but called out the names of their supporting actors.
“Well, I heard it, I heard it all.” The host returned to the center of the stage and smiled towards the camera, “It seems that the competition for the heroine is very fierce this time, so it doesn’t matter who is the heroine, and we have to ask the judges to decide. Now we have Please invite Mr. Lu Guangyi, President of Phoenix Media Group, and Ms. Jia Yun, our last Jintong actress, to read out the list of winners.”
Lights and music pushed the atmosphere to jjj for a while. A middle-aged man and a beautiful woman walked out of the entrance area amid applause. The woman walked to the stage with the support of the man with graceful steps. After receiving the list envelope, they stood in the center of the stage .
The applause gradually faded, and the two award presenters looked at the list of winners. The man motioned for the lady to read it out, and the lady did not go around the circle, and said to the camera, “I am honored to announce the list of best actresses for this year’s Jintong Awards. The heroine of this year is not only a goddess in my heart, but also a well-deserved actress. I have watched “Black and White Feather” starring her three times in theaters…”
Speaking of which, the applause from the audience had swallowed her voice, and she continued after a while, “I watched it three times in the theater, and I love her character very much, and then just now the audience bet with our actor Xiao, saying that Both Xizhi interpreted the roles so well, it is difficult to determine who is better, why don’t we bet on one each, and whoever loses invites dinner tonight.”
The scene cuts to Xiao Ji who is in the audience, and then quickly returns to Jia Yun.
“That’s what I want to say.” Jia Yun smiled and looked at Xiao Ji’s position in the audience, “Actor, you lost this time.”
The camera paused on Xiao Ji’s body for a long time, Xiao Ji just nodded and smiled slightly facing the camera, so that he couldn’t guess the answer.
“Okay, so that I can eat the movie king’s meal earlier, I won’t be a secret.” The camera cuts back to Jia Yun, who puts down the list and faces the camera with a sweet smile. The actor’s winner is…”
The lights focused on the three nominated actors, and three close-ups were cut on the big screen.
Gu Xizhi, like the other two actors who had already been defeated, had a calm expression on his face with a smile on his face.
This time the mood is really very peaceful.
The camera returned to Jia Yun’s body, and she cast her eyes on Gu Xizhi without hesitation, her voice was loud and clear, “She is on the scene today, she is the actor of Qin Shiyu, Miss Gu Xizhi.”
“Gu Xizhi, Miss Gu Xizhi, congratulations.” The male host immediately took the words and applauded, followed by unprecedented applause from the audience.
The big screen switched to a close-up of Gu Xizhi. Gu Xizhi, who had young and elegant short hair and was wearing a bright red knee-length dress, nodded while sitting there, and quickly stood up and bowed to the surroundings, looking very calm and calm.
If this incident happened three years ago, she would probably be overjoyed and uncontrollably excited, but this is already three years later.
There is an article that said it well, to be famous as soon as possible, if it comes too late, happiness will not be so happy.
Most of the things that have been waiting for too long are no longer what they originally wanted.
“Good Miss Gu Xizhi, please come to the stage to accept the award.”
The movie clips were played back on the big screen, and then the music that symbolized victory sounded. Gu Xizhi hugged and thanked the two people around him, and then walked out of the banquet, walking towards the stage with vigorous and brisk steps.
The lights and the camera finally gave her a chance this time. Gu Xizhi received the trophy from Jia Yun, thanked him, followed the host’s instructions and walked to the microphone to deliver his acceptance speech.
“Thank you, Ms. Jia Yun, for her great reputation. I almost dare not go on stage due to boasting.”
With a teasing tone, he gestured to Jia Yun who was about to leave.
Jia Yun smiled and made a victory gesture.
The applause gradually subsided, and the angle of the lights changed. The host and the award presenters walked off the stage one after another. Various cameras were aimed at the only absolute protagonist left on the stage. Under the spotlight, she looked delicate and youthful.
“I’m very happy to receive this long-awaited award. The opportunity is rare for me. It may take a few minutes for the organizer to say something from my heart, but I want to say some ‘routines’ before that.”
She held the trophy firmly in her hand, and she was smiling, but very calm.
At this time, it seems that she is not afraid of wasting shots. Every time she says a word, there will be countless shutter sounds in the audience seats.
Gu Xizhi’s countless eyes focused on Li Scarlett, who was facing the audience, “Thanks to Director Li Scarlett, thank her for choosing to be her heroine among so many actors, and thank her for giving Qin Shiyu the role, an actor’s performance. Good or bad has a lot to do with the role she interprets. The four actors nominated for Best Actress this time are all excellent. I think the judges gave this trophy not because they are better than them, but because the actors endowed by this role are more attractive. I am very grateful to Director Li for leaving this role to me, and also thank Director Li for his teaching during the filming process, without Director Li, there would be no Gu Xizhi on the stage.”
On the stage, Gu Xizhi bowed deeply to Li Scarlett, and the camera cut to Li Scarlett in the audience, her smile was very peaceful.
“Then I would like to thank the judges for voting for this.” When the camera cut back to Xizhi, she continued to speak facing the judges, “This year is almost 30 years old, and she has debuted for nearly ten years. This is the fourth time she has been nominated for Best Actress. Protagonist, I would like to thank the judges for putting a perfect end to the youthful years of repeated defeats before the age of 30.”
He bowed to pay tribute, and the audience applauded thunderously.
The LED TV live broadcast outside the cultural center of the awards ceremony, the passing line faced with the Best Actress was finally willing to stop their busy pace and stop to watch.
At the awards ceremony, the close-up shots looked back at Xizhi, she held the trophy in her hand and faced the camera, but this time she seemed to be talking to the camera.
“The third bow is to be given.” He bowed deeply to the camera, and his smile was still calm when he raised his head, but the audience at the scene clearly sensed something was wrong.
“Although I didn’t come, I know I will see it.”
There were more and more shutter sounds, and the cameras focused on her again. Her meaningful words made everyone in the audience who were playing with their mobile phones concentrate on the stage and look at the stage, their expressions became curious and focused.
“I bowed because I knew that if I didn’t, I wouldn’t even have the chance to bow the first two.” She kept looking directly at the camera. The first love is the best and even illusory love that I have ever encountered, and the good intentions even make…”
When the word “love” was mentioned, the audience burst into applause like booing. Gu Xizhi’s voice was drowned out, and he continued to smile at the camera after a while.
“Whether it’s excellence or hard work, it makes me feel like an unattainable **** who can only step on the shadow of an ordinary person who can never catch up. Four years ago, like dust, I don’t want to hope again. Side by side with you, four years later, in order to be able to catch up with the pace, I put the cart before the horse and worked hard to set off the love. I don’t think I didn’t like it, but I didn’t dare to use it. I like it more, and it’s because I don’t dare. A lot of hesitation and passivity.”
The audience was very interested in this kind of thing that they liked to hear, and once she finished speaking, warm applause broke out again.
“Lili once asked a question, to the effect that she is willing to exchange superstar achievements.” Her tone was always as if she was talking to another person, “Obviously, if not, no matter how many achievements you have, it will be meaningless to you, because in the past These are just close ladders, but if the top of the ladder is gone, what is the use of climbing up in the cold place?”
She shook the trophy in her hand, “I like it very much, it’s just because I also have one, and I wanted to use it to shorten the distance between them, but in the end I found out that it was wrong.”
The warm applause made the atmosphere even more heated. There were already whispers about the object of her confession. Only after the applause died down could Gu Xizhi hear his own voice in front of the microphone.
“The reason why we are so twists and turns is because we look too strong. It has always been like a fairy tale out of reach for us. From the beginning to the end, in the shadow of life, we dare not even wear red, but in fact It’s just an ordinary one, with some good and flaws, but it should also have its own beautiful scenery, a truly favorite scenery.”
She paused before saying, “I like it, I am willing to become better, but it must not be good in a narrow sense, so I don’t want to chase movies endlessly from now on, just like not chasing shadows anymore.”
After saying this sentence, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, but the news that the queen had just got the movie and announced that she was leaving the movie made the shutter sound in the audience stunned for a while.
“I will never forget it. There is no way to like it after liking it. I just hope to give it another chance to be liked like an ordinary person, like someone else in the world.”
She faced the camera with a sincere expression, “The unintentionally mentioned name has brought troubles to the unresolved life. I just hope that no matter where in the world I see or hear it, I can change my mind and stay.”
Put your hands together, looking devout.
Although the audience was stunned, they still gave her encouraging applause.
At the same time, the online media was almost crazy.
In Gu Xizhi’s last Weibo, it was just a forwarded Weibo, but there were thousands of comments in a minute.
“In short, crazy! Is it a confession?”
“Ah, the actress is so beautiful!”
“Confess to whom?”
“Congratulations on being the Best Actress!”
…
Airport in a few hours.
“Miss Gu, may I ask if the object of your confession at the awards ceremony tonight is a man or a woman?”
“Miss Gu Xizhi, are you announcing your retirement tonight? Are you really no longer shooting movies?”
“Miss Gu, Miss Gu, there is a speculation that Qin Shiyu is the same as Qin Shiyu in the play, so he can act so vividly. Is this true?”
…
Gu Xizhi’s car was blocked by countless media reporters and couldn’t move forward. She had no choice but to tell the driver, “Turn around now, there are too many reporters, so I won’t go to the airport.”
Gu Xizhi immediately said, “No, I have to go back tonight, and I won’t be able to catch the plane any longer.”
“I also saw that there are so many reporters at each gate, and they were surrounded in the past. It is impossible to catch the plane.”
“We must go back tonight.” Gu Xizhi looked at the time and emphasized, “I know I have to go to the airport tomorrow morning.”
“Let’s drive to a neighboring city to catch a flight.” Lili said dejectedly, “but the time of the flight may not be suitable.”
Gu Xizhi looked at the reporter who was thrown far away in the rearview mirror, and propped up his forehead wearily.
It was already one o’clock at night when we arrived in the neighboring city, and the nearest flight took off an hour ago, and the remaining one took off at 6:30 in the morning. There was nothing we could do, so Gu Xizhi had to arrange a rest for his companions, and set a flight at 6:30 in the morning. Air tickets.
In the cold winter months, it was still dark at 6 o’clock in the morning, and most of the airport halls were covered with thick down jackets in the corners illuminated by lights. After finally boarding, Gu Xi contacted Liang Huan again after boarding the plane. The other party’s voice was obviously sober this time.
“Xiao Jing, and Anda are already at the airport, don’t worry, Shen Ya and Qu Xizhi will definitely stop them when they see them later.”
“I won’t repeat my thanks.” Gu Xizhi looked at the time, “Call me as soon as you get off the plane, please stop Qu Xizhi.”
“Will do.”
A voice prompting to turn off the phone sounded on the plane, Gu Xizhi put down the phone hesitantly, and looked out the window at clusters of faint fire lights in the deep darkness.
Seven thirty in the morning.
Airport waiting hall.
Liang Ying ran back and forth at the security checkpoint without stopping. Anda felt worried and went up to carry her back to her seat. Liang Huan, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Anda and Liang Ying and said, “It’s half past seven, their plane should take off. Why can’t you see it?”
Anda looked at the time, “Wait a little longer.”
While speaking, Liang Ying tilted her head to look at the west entrance of the airport, and repeatedly tugged on Anda’s sleeve, “Father, Daddy, little Aqu and cannon fodder are here.”
Seven forty.
Gu Xizhi got off the plane as soon as the plane landed, and called Liang Huan at the same time. The other party connected quickly, but his tone sounded full of apology.
“I’m sorry Xiaojing,…”
Gu Xizhi was taken aback, “Did she leave?”
“The plane took off two minutes ago.”
Gu Xizhi stopped abruptly.
At seven o’clock in the morning, the sun was dim, and Gu Xizhi turned his head to look at the planes taking off, and his eyes gradually settled on the only horizon left under the sun.
The horizon is the place where the sky and the earth meet, and it is also the end of the sky and the earth.
In ancient times, people called it Tianya.
Gu Xizhi looked at it for a long time, and took the phone back after a long time, “Did you talk to her?”
“Shen Ya has a lot of people around her. If she doesn’t want to speak, countless mouths can answer for her.”
Gu Xizhi was silent for a while, then nodded slowly, “Understood, thank you.”
Early in the morning, the airport terminal hall was filled with boarding notification sounds, and the large green belt outside the airport was shrouded in mist, which was relatively quiet.
Gu Xizhi walked out of the terminal hall and hailed a taxi. The driver on the taxi played the city news at first, and then switched to light music when he saw that there was a car.
The driver was a middle-aged man. Even though Gu Xizhi was wearing sunglasses, he recognized her at a glance.
“Miss Gu, where are you going?”
Gu Xizhi looked up at him in surprise, and quickly smiled politely, “Go forward first.”
“Okay.” The driver started the accelerator, and said nothing.
The good air in the morning makes you feel refreshed, and when you feel relieved, the traffic jam along the road during working hours becomes a beautiful landscape instead. The city is so big and so lively, and the emotions on the streets are different. It all seems so insignificant.
The taxi went straight for a long time before Gu Xizhi said belatedly, “Go to the riverside.”
“Okay.” The driver said with a smile, “But remind me, today is a plot, when the sun rises higher, the riverside should be bustling.”
Gu Xizhi smiled and nodded, “Thank you, I understand.”
On the riverside in the cold morning, there are only old people who get up for exercise and take a walk in the morning. Occasionally, young people pass by. Most of them are busy running. After paying the money, Gu Xizhi greeted the driver and said goodbye. The house falls on the river, covering the long river bridge under the golden light.
An elderly couple supported each other and walked down the bridge step by step. The golden sunlight fell on their white hair, and the picture was peaceful and timeless.
Gu Xizhi watched the two walk away and boarded the bridge slowly.
The vast river surface is quiet because there are few interruptions. Cruise ships stop at the shore one after another. The cold and tall buildings in the distance ooze warmth in the sun. The huge poster of the ellato building is still attracting the attention of the city. The woman wore a long silver dress studded with diamonds, with a bright and charming smile and a dignified and elegant posture.
The time in the life lens is too long, which often blurs the real **** and immaculate imagination.
Gu Xizhi stared at her for a long time, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to a phone number that he hadn’t called for a long time.
“Peach blossoms bloom in March, and chrysanthemums bloom in September, each comes at his own time.”
“I still want to wait.”
Not long after the message was sent, a message from another cell phone rang in his ears. Gu Xizhi casually glanced at the one beside him, and then turned his gaze to the vast river again.
About two seconds later, Gu Xizhi’s eyes gradually turned away from the river, and his expression appeared a little complicated.
After another two seconds, Gu Xizhi clenched his hands tightly, and slowly turned his head towards the person beside him.
Countless powder-blue balloons suddenly floated over the quiet city, and the stunningly beautiful woman stood on the bridge two meters away from her, wearing an off-white buttonless cape coat and a bright yellow hollow-knit dress inside. The red rootless shoes under her feet and the fiery red lips are like the brightest colors in winter.
She smiled towards Gu Xizhi, her smile became brighter because of her sweetness.
“Gu Xizhi, the plot is happy.”
Rows of neat and loose two-color balloons appear in the shape of a huge heart because of the carefully arranged sequence. Those fragile and light things fly higher and higher with the wind, gradually covering the city.
More and more people stopped and looked up, and more and more pointed to each other in surprise.
They carry love to the unknown distance, and the other end seems to be still far away on the horizon.
Gu Xizhi watched them search for the place called Tianya, and after a long, long time, raised a mysterious smile, “I just made a wish.”
There was an answer to her, “What wish?”
“I hope that every year at this time in the future, I can talk to you here…”
She stared at her, “Is next year’s episodes still here?”
Qu Xizhi smiled and walked towards her all the way between them.
The river is mighty, and there is a beautiful echo in the distant sky.
The echo has only one word, just like a woman and a son.
“it is good.”
