After making up for the unsatisfactory shots, "You and Me" officially entered into intense post-production. In order to match the promotion, Dao Qian worked day and night to first cut two clips, one is the scene of Xing Shen performing hanging silk, and one is the interaction between Yuan Jiang and Xing Shen.

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

[Hey, this movie looks good quality, not like a poor quality product made for fan money]

[Xingchen Qi's camera performance is unexpected].

[I would say, I was a bit caught up in the protagonist's eyes [Xing Xing eyes]]

[Xingchen Qi seems to be a skinless face, this skin this face value, tsk, say a recent face upside down is not too much, right?

When the second clip was released, it was the fans' turn to rejoice:

[Crap! Crap Crap Crap! I lost my person ah ah ah ah!!!]

[It's too naked, right? My nosebleed is going to spurt out my Kam!

[I can only say that the night brother you will, seriously suspect that the small 7 shy expression is not a performance, is the real flow out [dog head]]

[Mom's so jealous of last night's star CP powder, if I CP so engaged, I can now rest in peace 5555]

In the 48 hours since the release of the film, except for a few black people, the comments are almost all positive. And no need to buy Noah's water army to make it hot, the water flowing from the tap is flowing on the hot search itself.

Even Chen Noah couldn't help but call Xingchen Qi: "General Qi, you're talking too much about your budget for publicity, you don't need that much money at all."

"It's okay, let's put it aside," Xingchen Qi said, "Brother Chen, help me prepare a recording studio this afternoon, we need it tomorrow."

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

Chen Noah responded, Xingchen Qi hung up the phone and looked down to see the east wind in "only the east wind".

--Score.

Not learned so far.

It's not that he can't sing, it's that he can't sing the way he wants to. The unreal feeling of fulfilling his dream made him a little scared, very afraid of not singing well and making himself unsatisfied, and very afraid of letting down the songs Ye Bai wrote with his heart.

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

Xingchen Qi : "Not good, I always feel short of something."

"What's missing? You tell me."

"How to say it ...... It feels very flat to sing, so that people can not empathize, but I obviously used emotion."

Ye Bai thought about it, "It needs to add a little bit of skill."

He fished the guitar by hand and sang while speaking, "For example, this line - see the other side of life. In the context of the whole song, it should be happy here, so put the accent on the two words on the other side and the end note upwards, try it."

According to him, Xingchen Qi sang it again.

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

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

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

"Mmmmmmmmm!" Xingchen Qi nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice.

"Okay, sing it again."

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

Before he left, Ye Bai finally taught Xingchen Qi to his satisfaction. In fact, it was not that Xingchen Qi was not good at singing, it was that he had too high expectations of himself.

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

As the time to leave "Peach of the Night" draws nearer, they can no longer afford to part even for a single second.

After a year and a half, Noah is still the same, the door squatted a large group of paparazzi and station sister, generation of shooting, bodyguards to help them from the wall of people to tear out a mouth, Ye Bai protect Xingchen Qi hall.

At the far end of the hall is the Wall of Honor. On the first visit, Ye Bai was at the top of the Wall of Honor and Xingchen Qi was nowhere to be found; on the second visit, Xingchen Qi was an arm's length away.

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

Xingchen Qi rubbed the tip of his nose.

After working 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, the best equipped room had been reserved for them. Xingchen Qi did not think too much, while chatting with Chen Noah while walking, did not wait for the recording studio, far away from the end of the corridor to see a group of boys and girls around.

Young, with the same emotions in their eyes - curiosity, admiration, anticipation.

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

Chen Noah turned his head and instructed his assistant, "Tell them to get back to practice, so they don't all get stuck here."

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

Ye Bai said, "That's right, Aizou also came out from the practice students."

Chen Noah : "......"

All right, I'm a loner, I can't say you two.

When I stepped into the studio, Ye Bai's team had been there for a while, and all the equipment needed had been set up. Xingchen Qi stood in front of the radio microphone with a battlefield-like mood.

Ye Bai gave him a mental build-up: "Just sing like you did this morning."

Xingchen Qi : "......"

Ye Bai : "You can do it."

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

Ye Bai was helpless and wanted to laugh a little: "Then I'll switch back to being a love interest and order you to sing what I say now, immediately and immediately. I have a very tight schedule, I don't have time to spend with you."

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

The two of them drank a glass of water to moisten their throats and started singing immediately. The recording is a process of repeated adjustments, but the good thing is that the two have not stopped practicing before, a morning passed, but really finished recording.

The tuner listened to it once and gave the duo a thumbs up. Ye Bai squeezed the back of Xingchen Qi's neck and laughed, "Alex, play through the original sound."

When the two voices came out together, Xingchen Qi felt in a trance that maybe by reaching out, he could really touch the night sky.

.

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

A year and two months have passed since the last release of the album, the night sky are gluttonous crazy, the fire rushed over to listen. After listening to it, in addition to being abused, there is a wonderful feeling -

As the ceiling of the business ability of singing and dancing singers, Xingchen Qi can't even try to surpass Ye Bai, so we can't compare Xingchen Qi with Ye Bai. But it's hard enough for non-professional singers to express the mood of the song without going out of tune or stealing the beat.

And Xingchen Qi has done it.

[Xiao Qi's brother didn't give this song any points!

Ye Bai read the comments and posted a blog with satisfaction: Is it good? I taught.

The night sky feels a billion points harder to bear.

But put away your showy face!

The exposure of the theme song clip naturally pushed the popularity of "You and Me" to a high level. Taking advantage of the east wind, Ye Bai and Xingchen Qi were hardly idle, devoting themselves to the promotion of the movie.

In addition, invitations for New Year's Eve parties and end-of-year ceremonies were sent to the two of them, and they earnestly wanted them to perform together, so Ye Bai and Xingchen Qi deliberated and chose a live party for a certain station.

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

This year, they can finally stand beside each other openly and sing songs that belong exclusively to them.

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

On the opening day, "You and I" net ticket plus theater integrated box office of more than 80 million, integrated box office accounted for 21.9%, 19.7% of the film releasing, the attendance rate of up to 60.3%, directly asked the New Year's Day box office champion.

Xingchen Qi was lying under the blanket, her heart was beating hard, and what was even harder than her heart was her phone - countless messages of congratulations from her friends, including Dao Qian.

Yes, that's right, Dao Qian and the scriptwriter started to cry to him again and again.

However, with 80 million box office sales including pre-sales, Xingchen Qi was a bit afraid that there would be no success. Who knew that in the next few days, he would receive daily calls from Ran An starting with "shit".

"Damn, Xing Xing, the dehydration box office broke 150 million!"

"Crap, the Douban score is now 8.5!"

"Crap, the single day box office broke 100 million!"

"Damn, several senior critics gave more than 4.5 stars, look at this situation, "you and I" word of mouth to explode ah!"

Listening to the figures given by Ran An, Xingchen Qi was a lot more down-to-earth, because after all, it was the result of two years' hard work by Dao Qian and the scriptwriter, as well as the night and day efforts of the whole crew.

A serious attitude is bound to produce good work, and all that good work brings is the reward that those who work for it deserve.

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

At the end of January, Xingchen Qi received a message from Yunxiao Qi that the Supreme Court had approved Tao Tao's execution, which was expected to take place on Feb. 6. However, because it coincided with New Year's Eve, the execution was postponed for three days and scheduled for the early morning of Feb. 9.

Xingchen Qi handed the phone to Ye Bai, who looked at it for a moment in silence and kissed her young boyfriend's forehead.

.

The Hwagyo Awards ceremony was held in S. City at the beginning of February. With 57 groups of film creators in attendance and a packed interview area for domestic and international media, the ceremony was an unprecedented event.

Unlike the Golden Falcon Awards when they were secretly wearing couple's suits to show their love, this time Xingchen Qi and Ye Bai were generous, with Jiang Jiang and Man Xiao joining forces, echoing everything from their hair to their shoes, even their hair smelled like dog food.

Xingchen Qi and Ye Bai walked down the red carpet side-by-side, with the "You and Me" creative team being the 23rd in line. The following media started to raise a ruckus, "Last night the stars held hands!" "Ye Bai, hold your boyfriend for a picture!" "Give me a kiss, give me a kiss!"

At that, Ye Bai frowned unhappily: "He is thin-skinned, so don't make excessive demands."

Instead, it was Xingchen Qi who touched her reddened earlobes and took the lead in taking Ye Bai's arm.

The media whistled and snapped pictures, and the limelight almost turned the dark sky into daylight. Amidst the boisterous crowd, Xingchen Qi and Ye Bai took the water pen and signed the autograph page.

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

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

The first awards were presented in the technical categories of Best Cinematography, Editing, Art Direction, etc. "You and Me" received two nominations and took home the Best Cinematography award.

Immediately afterwards, professionalism awards and lifetime achievement awards were presented. These naturally had nothing to do with the cast and crew of "You and Me", but they all had serious expressions. The old-timers who have fought for the film industry all their lives deserve the respect of all filmmakers from the bottom of their hearts.

Finally, it was time to award the artistic awards. When the guest of honor read out "The winner of the Best Supporting Actor is - Ye Bai", Xingchen Qi "whooshed" from the bench! Xingchen Qi bounced up from the bench!

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

Xingchen Qi was pressed back into his seat by Ye Bai, and when he reacted to what he had done, his whole face scrunched up into a handsome "awkward" character.

In order to appease her boyfriend, Ye Bai made quick work of the situation and left the stage immediately after taking the trophy and thanking him all over again. Xingchen Qi was in tears: "What should I do? I'm sure I'll be in the news tomorrow."

"It's okay," Ye Bai said, patting him on the back, "you're happy for me, it's normal to react that way."

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

And this person is his.

He's even happier.

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

"No need to respond," Ye Bai said, "if you win the movie, the public will naturally shift the attention."

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

He spoke with a sincere look in his eyes, and Ye Bai breathed a soft sigh of relief.

If a person can be down-to-earth, one step at a time, not overly ambitious, no matter to which industry, are bound to be the best of them.

"Come on, don't get bored," Dao Qian reminded, "The nominations for Best Actor will be announced soon, so be quiet."

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

There were four nominees for this year's Hwagyo Award for Best Actor, and unexpectedly, Xingchen Qi saw himself at the end!

But the fact that it made the cut was both unexpected and justified. The fact that "You and Me" has won so many awards, and is even vaguely the biggest winner of this year's Hwagyo, means that it has definitely been recognized by both the market and the industry.

More than one more Best Actor nomination, there is no excuse.

Xingchen Qi is stress-free, even thinking about the embarrassment just now, and trifling with watching the guest of honor open the envelope.

"The winner of this year's Hwagyo Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role is -"

Who could it be? Xingchen Qi thought, I guess it is the big brother behind.

The next moment, the guest of honor called out the name of the winner:

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

Xingchen Qi : "......"

How is it possible, how can it be him?

He's not dreaming, is he?

Xingchen Qi looked at Ye Bai blankly, and this reaction made everyone laugh again. Half asleep, he was pushed by Dao Qian to the stage and received a heavy trophy, saying a bunch of unintelligible thanks.

When Xingchen Qi finished speaking, the host smiled, "There are only a few people who can be crowned emperor in one battle, which proves how good Xingchen is. At such a happy moment, I wonder if Ye Bai has anything to say to Xingchen?"

When the host called Ye Bai, the camera turned to the audience. The host handed Ye Bai the microphone and Ye Bai said thank you and got up.

But his eyes never moved away, always fixed on the chasing light, fixed on the man holding the trophy.

The ever-striving, ever-humble young man.

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

"Previously, you looked up to me, from now on, I look up to you instead."
