Amidst the applause, Qi Jia walked up to the podium with excitement.
He took the trophy symbolizing honor from the host Er Dongsheng, and held it high in front of the camera.
Then there was a burst of warm applause from the audience.
A group of media reporters looked at the star-studded Qi Jia and whispered,
"He is only 22 this year? He won the Best Actor award?"
"Yes! Unbelievable. When I was his age, I was still in college."
"Do you think he is the youngest Best Actor in history?"
...
In the Qiying Dance Classroom in Shanghai,
Chen Yuwen walked into the classroom and saw Zhang Ruonan practicing dancing in front of the mirror alone.
"Sister, why are you here?"
Seeing Chen Yuwen coming in, Zhang Ruonan stopped her movements, turned around and greeted with a smile.
"Wipe off the sweat first, be careful of catching a cold."
Chen Yuwen handed the towel to Zhang Ruonan and said with a smile: "I came to see you and tell you a good news. Qi Jia won the Best Actor Award."
"Really!"
Zhang Ruonan's eyes were as bright as stars, and she stopped trying to wipe off the sweat.
Then she hugged Chen Yuwen and cheered happily!
"Hey, hey, sweat, my Prada, ah, help, you wiped it all over me."
Chen Yuwen raised her head sadly, not letting the aggrieved little pearl fall,
"Wait until Qi Jia comes back, I'll ask him to compensate you."
Zhang Ruonan let go of her hand, patted her shoulder, and ran back to practice dancing with a smile.
"Take a break, the teacher said you've been practicing for three hours."
Chen Yuwen couldn't bear to see her so tired, so she persuaded her,
"No! I have to catch up with him quickly."
Zhang Ruonan said with a smile without turning her head, with a stubborn tone in her tone.
In the night market street in southern Hunan,
Several deliverymen waiting for orders were chatting and playing with their phones together.
Sun Longji, who had just delivered the last order of takeout, joined the boasting.
At this time, a deliveryman who was swiping his phone suddenly pushed his shoulder and asked,
"Hey, Longji, have you been an extra in Hengdian before?"
When it came to sad things, Sun Longji didn't want to pay attention to it, but seeing that the deliveryman who asked the question was usually very nice to him,
So he nodded and replied in a muffled voice: "Yeah, I was a part-time actor for a while."
"Do you know Qi Jia?"
Sun Longji's memory was a little dazed for a moment, and he remembered the pork leg rice, nodded and answered,
"Are you talking about the popular Qi Jia now? I know him, he lived in the room next to me."
I don't want to say this As soon as he came out, several deliverymen around him burst into laughter.
"Nonsense, if you are Qi Jia's roommate, then I am still Yang Mi's husband, hahaha!"
"Believe it or not!" Sun Longji snorted, too lazy to explain.
After everyone laughed for a while, the deliveryman who asked the question first handed over the phone, put his arm around his shoulders, and sighed,
"Longji, it's a pity for you. If you insist on it, maybe you can get the best actor award like Qi Jia, and you don't have to..."
Sun Longji stared blankly at Qi Jia on the podium, only feeling a buzz in his head, and couldn't hear what the people next to him were saying.
At Jiaxing headquarters,
Zheng Jia and Zhao Ruorao were also watching the live broadcast at this moment. When they heard the host shout out Qi Jia's name,
the two looked at each other and saw a trace of horror in each other's eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, Zheng Jia suddenly said to himself,
"Tell me, were we wrong to force Qi Jia like that before?
Maybe if we had talked to him properly, he wouldn't have left Jiaxing."
In the Xiangjiang Grand Theater,
Qi Jia didn't know that so many people he knew were watching the live broadcast at this moment.
After the applause gradually died down, he first said a speech to thank the judges and the crew as usual,
then looked at the trophy, and then said with a smile,
"In addition, I want to thank someone in particular here,
but in order to avoid disturbing her, please forgive me for not being able to say her name.
When I first arrived in Hengdian, I knew nothing and had little money.
She took me in, taught me how to take roles, paid for dinner for the group leaders I knew, and asked them to take care of me..."
Under the stage, Cheng Long, Andy Lau and other Hong Kong bigwigs listened quietly,
as they graduated from the wireless training class that year, they could better understand Qi Jia's mood at the moment.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away,
Hengdian First People's Hospital,
Yan Qiu was sitting beside the bed, also watching the live broadcast. When she heard the host read out Qi Jia's name,
she was so excited that she almost shouted out loud, but after taking a look at the old man sleeping in the bed, she held back.
Looking at the man in a suit and leather jacket standing on the podiumThe high-spirited Qi Jia gradually overlapped with the Qi Jia in her memory.
Yan Qiu recalled the boy who rented a house opposite her in Hengdian, went to the crew with her and helped her install light bulbs.
After she got drunk, he was willing to pick her up at one or two in the morning on a small electric donkey, but found that she was too drunk to take a car.
Finally, the big boy who carried her back two or three kilometers, and she seemed to vomit on him every time.
"I still remember that when I left Hengdian, she sent me to the station and told me to take care of myself in the future..."
On the stage, Qi Jia's speech was coming to an end, and Yan Qiu's eyes were already blurred by tears.
In the past two years, Qi Jia would send her WeChat messages from time to time. At first, she would reply and say some encouraging words.
But as Qi Jia became more and more popular, she began to consciously stop replying to messages.
The two are no longer people from the same world now. She doesn't want her past experiences to become a weapon for others to attack Qi Jia in the future.
She even thought about deleting Qi Jia's WeChat, but she was afraid that he would think something happened to her and come back to find her.
After thinking about it, she decided to keep it like this. Maybe after a long time, Qi Jia would forget her.
At this time, the old man on the bed had woken up at some point.
She raised her withered hand with great effort, touched Yan Qiu's face with pity, and said with great self-blame,
"My dear girl, why are you crying alone? Did your mother drag you down?"
Yan Qiu quickly put down her phone, wiped her tears, and hurriedly stood up and asked with concern,
"Mom, why did you wake up? Are you in pain again? I'll call a doctor for you."
After she finished speaking, she was about to press the call bell, but the old man grabbed her hand, shook his head and said,
"It doesn't hurt. I woke up because I couldn't sleep. Sit down and tell me why you're crying?"
Seeing that her mother looked normal, Yan Qiu sat down with peace of mind. She picked up her phone and pointed at Qi Jia on the stage and said,
"Mom, , Do you remember what I told you before, I found a younger brother in Hengdian?
Look, he is now an actor, how great...”
She said it with a smile, but tears flowed down again,
The old man did not look at the phone, but looked at Yan Qiu's haggard face, took her hand, and said distressedly,
"My dear girl, let's go home, please, mom doesn't want to drag you down, this disease is a bottomless pit."
Yan Qiu held the old man's hand with both hands, rubbed it gently on her face, and said softly,
"No, I want to treat you! Mom, don't worry, I have asked a friend to help me sell the house, you don't have to worry about the money."
Although the voice was gentle, there was a stubbornness and determination in the tone.
The old woman tilted her head, tears falling on the pillow, and she said in a choked voice,
"Mom doesn't want you to be left with nothing because of me."
Yan Qiu held her mother's hand, looked at the phone screen lit up with a new WeChat message reminder, and said with a smile,
"Mom, what are you talking about? Without you, I really have nothing."
