Just after the New Year, the main creators of the crew of "Stalking" flew to Berlin to attend the film festival. The film festival lasted for ten days. On the day of the opening ceremony, the crew went to attend the premiere.

Many days later, Zhou Ziheng and Xia Xiqing stayed in the hotel, occasionally sneaking out in the middle of the night without anyone else. It was very cold outside. Two guys wearing thick down jackets were next to each other and didn't do anything. They just suppressed the streets of Berlin. For their relationship that cannot be exposed, this is enough.

Berlin is very cold, and it is even chilly at night. At four o'clock one morning, two people walked to the Berlin Cathedral.

There was not a single person around. Zhou Ziheng and Xia Xiqing, wearing down jackets, stood at the entrance of the church. Xia Xiqing wore a dark blue wool hat and looked up at the beautiful and solemn building. The street lights hit his face, making his skin look white and shiny.

"You look good."

Xia Xiqing glanced at him and laughed, "You are not good-looking. Look at the black down jacket you are wearing, it looks like a movie-selling one."

Both of them laughed. Zhou Ziheng took out a lollipop from his pocket, tore the candy paper and stuffed it into his mouth, "What are you doing here? We can't go in at this point."

Xia Xiqing raised her head, and when she spoke, there was white mist in her mouth and the tip of her nose was red.

“We couldn’t get in.”

After saying that, he reached out to grab the lollipop in Zhou Ziheng's mouth. Zhou Ziheng pulled his neck and refused to let him grab it. After the two of them pulled for a while, Zhou Ziheng finally compromised. He reached out and pinched Xia Xiqing's face and joked, "A bad guy like you can't go to heaven."

"What's good about heaven?" Xia Xiqing kicked away a stone at his feet, looked at the gorgeous dome of the cathedral with a lollipop in his mouth, "But... if you're in heaven, pretend I didn't say it."

When Zhou Ziheng heard him withdraw his preface for himself, he was very happy, "If I were really here, you wouldn't be allowed to go to heaven."

This meaningless assumption is not known to be necessary for discussion.

But... it's not completely unnecessary.

"If someone as sinister and cunning as me cannot go to heaven..." Xia Xiqing remembered the lyrics of a song. He turned around, took out the lollipop in his mouth, and turned his fingers. The crystal sugar ball shone with a glimmer of light under the faint light.

The honey-tight lips emit beautiful syllables.

“killmywaytoheaven.”

Fight out a bloody way and go to heaven to see you.

As the award ceremony came, there were many doubts about the awards at this film festival online, and most people were not optimistic about Zhou Ziheng. After all, he was so young, and the possibility of winning Class A awards was not high. However, since the premiere of "Stalking", the reviews circulating online have almost all had extremely high praise.

[Zhou Ziheng and "Stalking" are both dark horses of this year's film festival.]

This is the most common comment.

Although fans were looking forward to Zhou Ziheng winning the award, they could only lower their attitude online, saying "nomination is affirmation" just to say "nomination is fear of slapping the face." Even if it was encouragement, they could only tell him under Zhou Ziheng's own Weibo.

Time passed quickly at the film festival, and the award ceremony finally came. When entering the venue, Song Nian walked in front with Kuncheng's hand in hand, with Zhou Ziheng and Xia Xiqing standing side by side, following closely behind.

Zhou Ziheng wore a full black suit, with a black coat that reached his ankle on his shoulders, and was a full-blooded young man. Xia Xiqing wore a dark gray British-style coat with a tight belt, a narrow waist and long legs, and an elegant style.

There are six Chinese-language films that were shortlisted for the main competition unit. Everyone gathered together to take a photo. Many domestic media also flew to interview. Compared with other films, "Stalking", which won the double nominations of "Best Actor" and "Best Director", is undoubtedly a hot topic in the interview. However, the main creators of the crew have been quite conservative about the awards and have not talked too much.

It’s okay when others come, but when Xia Xiqing comes, the reporters’ questions become varied.

"Xi Qing? You didn't get the nomination this time, will you feel a little unbalanced?"

"Xi Qing looked here. Will you still film next time?"

"Xi Qing and Xi Qing, can you tell me about your relationship with China Asia? Why did you decide to participate in this movie?"

"Xi Qing, why did you enter the entertainment industry? Haven't your family stopped you?"

Xia Xiqing was frustrated by a quarrel. He took a microphone and said, "Listen, I will only say it for the last time. I haven't entered the entertainment industry. After filming this movie, I will not take on new movies. I will concentrate on my own career."

He paused, "Also, I recorded reality shows and filmed movies because I am a fan of Zhou Ziheng. I participated in these because of Zhou Ziheng."

In the last sentence, he said it openly and no one thought about it any other way.

Only Zhou Ziheng was stunned for a moment, but was quickly dragged away by Xia Xiqing.

The crowds at the scene were terrible, and no one could say anything. After the interview, the crew returned to the designated lounge.

Although Zhou Ziheng performed very well during the interview, Xia Xiqing knew very well that he must be nervous.

As soon as he walked into the lounge, Zhou Ziheng sat on the sofa without saying a word, picked up a glass of water and drank silently. Xia Xiqing sat beside him, gently touching his back. Now he said to him not to be nervous, which is basically ineffective in doing his work, so he didn't plan to say it, just stayed with him silently.

Kuncheng was also very nervous. Although he had won many awards abroad, he was all non-mainstream niche awards after all. He walked back and forth nervously in the room, "It's okay, the nomination is already very good, it's great, it will be better in the future."

Song Nian couldn't help laughing, "I've found out now. It's still a good thing to not have a nomination, I'm relaxed."

Seeing that she was about to wear gifts and eat cakes, Xia Xiqing reminded her, "You should also have some qualities as a female star."

Song Nian stuck out his tongue, and saw Zhou Ziheng lowering his head, holding his hands tightly together, and wanted to say something and then put it back, taking a sip of coffee.

Not long after, a staff member came in and told them that the award ceremony was about to begin soon. Kuncheng nodded repeatedly and put on his coat, "Let's go."

Song Nian also clapped her hands and took her dinner bag, "OK."

Zhou Ziheng stood up blankly and prepared to follow them, but Xia Xiqing pulled her elbow a little, and she heard Xia Xiqing say behind her, "Director Kun, you go first, I have something to tell him."

"Okay, then you guys hurry up, don't delay."

When the door was closed, Zhou Ziheng turned over and asked gently what was wrong. Xia Xiqing lowered his eyes and carefully sorted out his suit jacket.

"Actually, I hate the straightforward expression, which sounds very..." He thought hard about the exact wording, "It's very brainless, too simple, without the carefully designed sense of value. Sometimes this method is expensive and requires a lone courage. But I still want to say,"

He took a deep breath and raised his head to look at Zhou Ziheng.

"I love you."

"This is probably the most direct expression in my life." Xia Xiqing curled the corner of his mouth and repeated it again, "I love you, Zhou Ziheng. Don't doubt it."

"You will always be the best actor in my mind."

Zhou Ziheng's eyes were stiff, and the string that was tense all over his body suddenly broke. With a bang, he was torn off by Xia Xiqing without warning. The most important thing in his life has been confirmed. At this moment, anything else seemed less important.

He hugged Xia Xiqing and hugged his most precious person in a small corner of this grand awards ceremony.

"I...then my probation period."

"Fool." Xia Xiqing hugged him back, "It's over long ago."

At the beginning of the award ceremony, the Kuncheng director was separated by the position of Zhou Ziheng and Xia Xiqing. After Xia Xiqing's confession, Zhou Ziheng was surprised to find that he was not so panicked, and even he had no idea about the principle of this.

But what he didn't know was that Xia Xiqing was panicked.

He was so nervous that he could not concentrate. He could not remember any of the people in front of him and said nothing, without any impression.

The Best Director Award has been awarded, but unfortunately Kuncheng missed the little silver bear, but his mentality is quite stable, he just smiled, "There is another time, don't worry, I'm still so young."

That's why everyone's eyes are focused on the upcoming award for Best Actor, and their performance clips have begun to appear on the big screen.

Xia Xiqing's palm was covered with sweat, and his heart was filled with panic. He thought about how he had comforted Zhou Ziheng if he missed the award. He told him that there was still a chance? There were many awards in China?

No, it's not good.

All of these were overturned by him.

Because he really hopes that Zhou Ziheng can win the award, more than anyone else hopes.

Thinking too much, Xia Xiqing even missed the host's long-lasting words. When he heard the audience cheering, he came back to his senses in panic and grabbed Kuncheng next to him, "Who is it? Who is it?"

Kuncheng almost burst into tears excitedly, "Ziheng, it's Ziheng who won the award."

"real?"

Song Nian clapped and turned to Xia Xiqing and said, "Yes, it's Ziheng!"

Tightened so much that he could hardly breathe, his heart exploded when he heard the name, like fireworks. Xia Xiqing's eyes followed Zhou Ziheng's back, watching him step by step onto the highly anticipated podium.

That was his lover, his boy.

His nose suddenly became sore, and it turned out that there were times when he couldn't control his emotions.

Zhou Ziheng bowed deeply to the audience, took the award from the award presenter, calmly said thank you in German, and then switched to Chinese. He took a deep breath and smiled.

"To be honest, I didn't expect to win the award today, so I didn't even prepare for the award speech. You may hear the most chaotic speech ever."

This little humor made the people in the audience laugh and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Zhou Ziheng said seriously, "I feel very lucky to be nominated with so many seniors in the film industry." He paused, "First of all, I want to thank the director Kuncheng for your guidance and help. You are the uncrowned king in my heart. I must also thank more than 300 staff members from the entire crew for your efforts. Thank you. Because of you, there is Gao Kun and "Stalking". This award not only belongs to me, but also to all of you."

There was a burst of applause from the audience, and Zhou Ziheng waited and continued, "Then, I want to thank my parents and family for giving me enough freedom to do whatever I want and give me full encouragement. I am very grateful. And the fans who have always supported me, you have always been the motivation for me to persevere. I know that no matter what happens, you are always there."

Xia Xiqing applauded him with a smile, and at this moment his heart was full of pride and touching. Zhou Ziheng, who was standing on the stage, was so charming and dazzling.

"In the end, I still have something to say. Not long ago, someone asked me why I chose to study physics as an actor. In fact, this is the first time someone asked me. I was very excited and surprised, so I told him the answer I had never told anyone. Then, on the other hand, I believe everyone will be confused. Since I chose to study physics, why do I insist on being an actor?" Zhou Ziheng smiled, "It sounds a bit high-sounding. My original idea was to make things that cannot be paid attention to in this world through performance. One person once told me that I am an immature idealist."

Xia Xiqing was stunned and laughed out loud. This guy was talking further and further away.

"But later, as I acted, I realized that I was actually a person with emotional weakness. As Director Kun said, I couldn't play the most complex and ordinary emotions as an ordinary person. I even began to think that one of the reasons why I like to study physics may be an escape psychology. Physics is the most essential expression of the world. It can use the most refined formula to express the principles of the operation of the world. It is simple, pure, not like a human, and it is too difficult to understand." Zhou Ziheng raised his head and stood on the podium and looked at the person below the stage.

The moment when the eyes met, Xia Xiqing suddenly understood something.

His ever-speeding heartbeat was like some kind of strong omen.

"As an actor, I have played too many people and simulated too many emotions. Actually, I know very well that it is not my life, nor is it my emotions. I am just a relatively flexible container. Until one day, I met someone, and this container finally had what it should have carried."

Hearing this sentence, Xia Xiqing's tears suddenly burst out and her mind went blank.

Only the heart beats urgently, as if trying to leave itself and pursue the light it wants to pursue.

"After meeting you, the emotions that surged in my chest were really me. They belong to Zhou Ziheng and came from Xia Xiqing."

As the simultaneous translation appeared, the audience applause thundered. No one expected that at the most successful moment, this famous young actor would choose to announce his relationship to the world. Countless people turned their heads and applauded and looked at the other person in this grand confession.

Xia Xiqing endured it for a long time before she held her tears in her eyes, looked at the person on the stage with red eyes, and pursed her lips and smiled.

Zhou Ziheng also curled the corners of his mouth and looked at the eyes that had been chasing for fifteen years through the sea of ​​people, "No, vice versa."

"It originated from Zhou Ziheng and belonged to Xia Xiqing."

Under the guidance of the stars, the little rose with its teeth and claws restrained its sharp thorns and exchanged darkness for moonlight.

Leap into the soft universe.

Permanent arrest.
