Look up

After making up for the unsatisfactory shots, "You and I" officially entered the intense post-production. In order to match up with the publicity, Director Qian worked day and night to cut out two clips, one is the scene where Shen Xing performs the silk hanging, and the other is the interaction between Jiang Yuan and Shen Xing.

With the gimmick of "last night's stars starring together for the first time", only fans were looking forward to "You and I", but after the first footage came out, the passersby were greatly changed:

"Hey, this movie looks like a good quality movie, not like it's made for fan money.

[Qi Xingchen's unexpected camera power]

Can I just say that I'm a little bit taken by the look in the protagonist's eyes?

Qi Xingchen seems to have gone bare-faced, and with this skin and face, tsk, tsk, it's not too much of a stretch to say that she's a recent face turner, is it?

When the second clip came out, it was the fans' turn to go wild:

[Crouching! Crouch crouch crouch! I'm out of people ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!

What the fuck? I'm gonna get a nosebleed, man!

I can only say that you are good at what you do, and I seriously doubt that Xiao7's shy expression was not staged, it was real.

[Damn so envious of last night's star CP fans, if I CP so engaged, I can now rest in peace 5555]

In the 48 hours since the release of the movie, except for a few black people, the comments were almost all favorable. And without Noah's side to buy the water army to fuck the heat, the tap water flowed and flowed, it flowed on the hot search.

Even Chen Nuoya couldn't help but call Qi Xingchen: "Mr. Xiao Qi, you're talking too much about the budget for publicity and distribution, but you don't need that much money."

"It's okay, let's put it away," Qi Xingchen said, "Chen, help me prepare a recording studio in the afternoon, we'll use it tomorrow."

As Bai Ye's old employer, Noah's Entertainment's recording studio is definitely quite good, so the place to record was found, Bai Ye had a production team over there, and everything was ready.

Chen Nuoya answered, Qi Xingchen hung up the phone, looked down and saw the east wind in the "all we need is an east wind".

--Score.

Haven't learned so far.

It wasn't that he didn't know how to sing, it was that he couldn't get the feeling he wanted. The unreal feeling of fulfilling his dream made him a bit scared, afraid of not singing well enough to satisfy himself, and also afraid of letting down the songs Bai Ye had written from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing him with a sad expression, Bai Ye, who was thinking about the arrangement, took off his headphones, "Xingchen, you sang very well yesterday."

Qi Xingchen : "It's not good, I always feel that something is missing."

"What's missing? You tell me."

"How can I say this ...... It feels like the singing is so flat that you can't empathize with it, but I clearly used my emotions."

Bai Ye thought for a moment, "Need to add a little finesse."

He fished the guitar out of his hand and sang as he spoke, "Take this line for example - seeing the other side of life. In the context of the whole song, this is supposed to be happy, so put the accent on the word other side, with the end upward, and try it."

As he said, Qi Xingchen sang it again.

Bai Ye shook his head, "No, not happy enough."

"But I'm already having fun ......"

Bai Ye hooked his little boyfriend by the neck and pulled him to him, kissing him sideways on the lips, "Are you happier now?"

"Uh-huh uh-huh!" Qi Xingchen nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Okay, sing it again."

"Seeing the Other Side of Life ......"

Teaching him word by word and phrase by phrase, Bai Ye finally taught Qi Xingchen to his satisfaction before he left. In fact, it's not that Qi Xingchen can't sing well, it's that he's too hard on himself.

A Lun had already prepared a car and called them to come downstairs. Qi Xingchen and Bai Ye kept holding hands, even when there were other people in the elevator.

As the time to leave The Peach of the Night drew nearer and nearer, they could no longer afford to part with each other for even a minute.

After a year and a half, Noah is still the same, with a large group of paparazzi and station sisters and surrogates squatting in front of the door, bouncers helping them tear a hole through the wall of people, and Bai Ye protecting Qi Xingchen Hall.

At the far end of the hall was the Wall of Honor. The first time I came here, Bai Ye was at the top of the Wall of Honor and Qi Xingchen was nowhere to be found; the second time I came here, Qi Xingchen was an arm's length away from Bai Ye.

Now Bai Ye is at the top, and Qi Xingchen is in the row below him, only two or three centimeters apart.

Qi Xingchen rubbed the tip of his nose.

After trying so hard for so long, I finally got to the place where I could look up and see him.

The recording studio was on the fourth floor, and because Xiao Qi had called them, the one with the best equipment had been reserved for them. Qi Xingchen didn't think too much about it and chatted with Chen Nuoya as they walked along, but before they got to the studio, they saw a group of boys and girls gathered at the end of the corridor.

Not very old, and the emotions in his eyes were the same - curiosity, admiration, anticipation.

It's exactly the same as when Han Qing dragged him to see Bai Ye.

Chen Nuoya turned his head and instructed his assistant, "Tell them to hurry back to practice, don't all go here."

"It's okay," Qi Xingchen immediately stopped, "Don't worry about it, let them see it if they want to."

Bai Ye said, "That's right, Ai Dou also came from a trainee."

Chen Nuoya: "......"

Okay, I'm alone, I can't talk to you two.

Stepping into the studio, Bai Ye's team had been there for a while, and all the necessary equipment had been set up. Qi Xingchen stepped in front of the microphone with the feeling of going into battle.

Bai Ye psyched him up, "Just sing like you did this morning."

Qi Xingchen: "......"

Bai Ye: "You can do it."

Qi Xingchen : "No, I can't. You're my boyfriend to comfort me."

Bai Ye was helpless and a little bit tempted to laugh, "Then I'll switch back to being Ai Dou and order you to sing as I say, now, immediately, right now. I'm on a tight schedule and don't have time to spend with you."

"Good!" Qi Xingchen stood at attention at ease, "Absolutely no delay!"

Said no delay, no delay, the two drank a cup of water to moisturize the voice immediately start singing. Recording is a process of back and forth adjustment, good thing the two have not stopped practicing, a morning past, but really finished recording.

The tuner listens through it and gives the duo a thumbs up. Bai Ye pinched the back of Qi Xingchen's neck and laughed, "Alex, play through the acoustic."

The moment the two voices came together, Qi Xingchen felt in a trance that perhaps by reaching out, he could actually touch the night sky.

.

The music production was much faster than the post-production of the movie, and Bai Ye received the finished product three days later. I picked out a small section and put it online as a benefit for my fans.

It's been a year and two months since the last time the album was released, and the Night Skies are craving for it, rushing over to listen to it at a rapid pace. After listening to it, in addition to being abused, there is a wonderful feeling-

As the ceiling of a singer-dancer's business ability, Qi Xingchen can't even think of surpassing Bai Ye, so you can't compare Qi Xingchen with Bai Ye. But it's hard enough for a non-professional singer to convey the meaning of a song without going out of tune or stealing the beat.

And Qi Xingchen did.

Xiao Qi's brother didn't take points off this song!

Bai Ye reads the comments, and then posts with satisfaction: Does it sound good? I teach.

The night sky felt a billion times harder.

But get rid of your braggadocio face!

The exposure of the theme song clip naturally pushed the popularity of "You and Me" up a notch. Taking advantage of this, Bai Ye and Qi Xingchen were hardly idle and devoted themselves to the promotion of the movie.

In addition to this, invitations for the New Year's Eve party and year-end gala were also sent to the duo's mailboxes, and they earnestly hoped that the duo would perform together, so Bai Ye and Qi Xingchen deliberated and chose a certain station's live broadcasting party.

Last New Year's Eve, Bai Ye sang on stage while Qi Xingchen listened and waited in the hotel.

This year, they were finally able to stand next to each other with honor and sing songs that were exclusively theirs.

After the New Year's Eve party, as Qi Yunxiao communicated, "You and I" was released in theaters on New Year's Day!

On the day of its premiere, the combined box office of "You and I" net tickets plus theaters exceeded 80 million yuan, with a combined box office share of 21.9%, a row share of 19.7%, and an attendance rate as high as 60.3%, directly asking for the New Year's Day box office champion.

Qi Xingchen Lying on his back under the covers, his heart was beating hard, and even harder than his heart was his cell phone - countless friends sent congratulatory messages, including Director Qian.

Yes, that's right, the money director and the writers are back to endlessly looking for him to cry and whine about.

But with 80 million dollars in ticket sales, including pre-sales, Qi Xingchen was a little afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep up. But in the next few days, he received calls from An Ran every day that began with the word "fuck".

"Crap, Xingchen, the dehydration box office broke 150 million!"

"Crap, the Douban rating is now 8.5!"

"Crap, the single-day box office has broken a hundred million dollars!"

"Crap, several senior movie critics gave it 4.5 stars or more, look at this situation, the word of mouth of 'You and Me' is going to explode!"

Listening to the figures given by An Ran, Qi Xingchen felt a lot more at ease. After all, it was the result of two years of hard work by director Qian and the scriptwriter, as well as the efforts of the entire cast and crew working day and night.

Seriousness inevitably produces good work, and good work brings all the rewards that those who work for it deserve.

He continued to run roadshows from city to city blithely, completely unaware that, unbeknownst to him, he had already become one of the mainland's billion-dollar box office stars.

At the end of January, Qi Xingchen received a message from Qi Yunxiao that Tao Tao's death sentence had been approved by the Supreme Court and that the execution was scheduled for February 6th. However, because it coincided with New Year's Eve, the execution was postponed for three days and was scheduled for the early morning of February 9th.

Qi Xingchen handed his cell phone to Bai Ye, who read it in silence for a moment and kissed his young boyfriend on the forehead.

.

Stepping on the beginning of February, the Huajing Awards ceremony was held in S city. On that day, the creators of the 57 groups of participating films were all present, and the domestic and foreign media filled the interview area, making it an unprecedented event.

Unlike the Golden Falcon Awards when they showed their love in couple suits, Qi Xingchen and Bai Ye came out in no uncertain terms this time, with Jiang Jiang and Xiao Man, echoing each other's hairstyles and shoes, and even their hairs smelled of dog food.

The "You and Me" creative team was lined up 23rd to enter, with Qi Xingchen and Bai Ye walking side by side on the red carpet. The press below coaxed, "Last night's stars held hands!" "Bai Ye, hold your boyfriend for a picture!" "Give me a kiss, give me a kiss!"

At that, Bai Ye frowned in dissatisfaction, "He's thin-skinned, so don't make excessive demands."

Instead, Qi Xingchen, rubbing her reddened earlobes, took the lead in taking Bai Ye's arm.

The media whistled and snapped pictures, and the limelight almost turned the dark sky into day. Qi Xingchen and Bai Ye took the pens and signed the autograph plates in front of the crowd.

Two tiny names snuggled together, the gap too small for anyone to squeeze in.

After the photos and interviews, a group of people crowded into the auditorium and found seats with their names on them. When the 57 groups of guests arrived, the award ceremony officially began.

The first awards were given out in the technical categories of Best Cinematography, Editing, Art Direction, etc., and You and Me was nominated for two of them and took home the award for Best Cinematography.

Immediately after that, the Professionalism Award and Lifetime Achievement Award were presented. These naturally had nothing to do with the cast of You and Me, but they all had serious expressions. The old-timers who had fought for their entire lives for the cause of cinema deserved the heartfelt respect of all filmmakers.

Finally, it was time to present the awards in the Arts category. The art category started with the Best Supporting Actor and Best Actress, and the moment the guest of honor read out "The winner of the Best Supporting Actor is Bai Ye", Qi Xingchen "whoosh"! Qi Xingchen "whooshed" out of his stool the moment the guest of honor read "The Best Supporting Actor is Bai Ye"!

The host couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Star, sit down, it's your boyfriend who won the award."

Qi Xingchen was pressed back into his seat by Bai Ye, and when he realized what he had done, his whole face scrunched up into a handsome "embarrassed" expression.

In order to appease her boyfriend, Bai Ye made quick work of it, taking the trophy and thanking her once and then leaving the stage immediately. Qi Xingchen was in tears: "What should I do? I'm definitely going to be in the hot seat tomorrow."

"It's okay," Bai Ye patted him on the back, "You're happy for me, this reaction is normal."

Qi Xingchen is indeed happy for Bai Ye, and it's really hard to imagine that there are people in the world who can be the best at whatever they do.

And this one is his.

He's happier.

Qi Xingchen collected the smile at the corner of his mouth, "Then how should I respond when I'm on the hot search, should I explain, or should I hahaha with everyone?"

"Don't respond," Bai Ye said, "If you win the movie, the public eye will naturally shift."

Qi Xingchen waved his hand, "No, no, no, no, no, I don't want to be a movie star, for me, this shooting experience is the best award."

His eyes were sincere as he spoke, and Bai Ye breathed a soft sigh of relief.

If a person can be down-to-earth, take one step at a time, and not be overly ambitious, he is bound to be one of the best in whatever industry he goes into.

"Alright, you guys don't get tired of it," at this point Director Qian reminded, "The Best Actor nomination will be announced soon, so be quiet."

As if they were being criticized by the teacher in class, Qi Xingchen and Bai Ye looked at each other, spat out their tongues, and quietly watched the list of finalists being shown on the screen.

There were four finalists for Best Actor in this year's Huajing Awards, and unexpectedly, at the end, Qi Xingchen actually saw himself!

But to be shortlisted was unexpected and reasonable. The fact that "You and Me" has won so many awards, and is even vaguely the biggest winner in this year's Hwajing, shows that it is definitely recognized by both the market and industry insiders.

There's no excuse for multiple more Best Actor nominations.

Qi Xingchen is stress-free, even mindful of his earlier dilemma, and watches the award presenters open the envelopes with a double-take.

"The winner of this year's Harking Award for Best Actor is--"

Who could it be? Qi Xingchen thought to himself, guessing it was the big brother in the back.

In the next moment, the honoree called out the name of the winner:

"He is-- Qi Xingchen. congratulations Qi Xingchen!"

Qi Xingchen : "......"

How could it be? How could it be him?

He's not dreaming, is he?

Qi Xingchen looked blankly at Bai Ye, a reaction that made everyone laugh again. Half asleep, he was pushed onto the stage by Director Qian, received the heavy trophy, and said a bunch of thank yous that he didn't know what to say.

When Qi Xingchen finished speaking, the host laughed, "There are only a handful of people who can seal an empire in a single battle, which is proof of how good Xingchen is. At such a happy moment, I wonder if Bai Ye has anything he wants to say to Xingchen?"

The camera pans to the audience when the host cues Bai Ye. The host hands the mic to Bai Ye, who says thank you and gets up.

But he never took his eyes off the man, keeping them fixed on the chasing light, on the man holding the trophy.

The young man who always worked hard and was always humble.

Bai Ye raised his chin slightly, and there seemed to be light in his eyes:

"You used to look up to me, from now on, it's my turn to look up to you."
