650 My Winter Ended Early
Just like that, amidst the netizens’ praise and protection, the reputation and box office sales of ‘Seeking Danger’ continued to rise, as did Song Ci’s fanbase. After watching the movie, many film directors also sent Yang Haoran their scripts, hoping to work with Song Ci.
Director Chen was very satisfied with the current situation. As an experienced commercial film director, he could already calculate based on the increase in the box office these few days that he should be the box office champion for this year’s Spring Festival. However, he did not expect Song Ci to be trending again so soon. Even the box office of ‘Seeking Danger’ was higher than anticipated.
It was all because Chu Yi had won an award. This year, Chu Yi had been shortlisted for the Best Newcomer and Best Supporting Actor awards for two of his films.
Song Ci had been paying close attention to this news. At this time, in the original book, Chu Yi was still playing smaller roles in productions. Now, due to her butterfly effect, Chu Yi was able to end his dormant period early and start showing his brilliance in acting. Song Ci really wanted to know if Chu Yi’s footsteps would be brought forward. She had watched the two movies Chu Yi had acted in. Although he did not have many scenes, his acting was remarkable.
However, as he did not have as many scenes as the other shortlisted characters, Song Ci was also a little nervous. To her, his chances of winning the award were slim. So she specially watched the live broadcast, wanting to send Chu Yi her blessings or comfort as soon as possible.
In the end, the name ‘Chu Yi’ was called out.
“Yay!” Song Ci exclaimed excitedly as the camera turned to Chu Yi.
Chu Yi was wearing a sponsored suit, looking bright and cheerful. He stood up with a smile in his eyes.
Song Ci could not remember if he had won this award in the book, but it did not matter. Chu Yi would have more opportunities now. She quickly prepared a message to Chu Yi, but just as she sent her congratulations, she heard her name on the screen.
Song Ci looked up in confusion and saw Chu Yi standing on the podium with his trophy in hand. He said calmly, “Today, there is one person I have to thank, and that is Song Ci. Before I met her, I was just an extra. I didn’t have a name or the right to be remembered. I didn’t want to give up, so I went from one production to another, hoping someone would notice me. Still, no one did. I thought of giving up more than once… That was when I met Song Ci in the winter. She was warmer than the sun, and just like that, my winter ended early. She gave me a chance and encouraged me to stick to my dream. Thank you, Song Ci. Thank you to everyone who has helped me. Thank you for ending my winter early.”
Song Ci never expected Chu Yi to thank her on stage, just as Fu Qinqin did!
Sure enough, as soon as Chu Yi’s acceptance speech was out, Song Ci was trending once more.
The netizens exclaimed one after another.
[This scene looks so familiar.]
[What a perfect replica of what happened at the music awards a month ago!]
[Fu Qinqin thanked Song Ci, as did Chu Yi. Did Song Ci descend to the mortal world to save all living beings? How many people has she helped? How can my Sister Song Ci be so gentle?]
[‘My winter has ended early.’ Chu Yi’s words were so touching.]
[One won an award in music, while the other won an award in film and television. Song Ci’s judgment of people is really unique.]
[Sister Song Ci, take a look at my brother. He’s good at acting too. He’s in his winter now! Please bring him to the warmth!]
[Come one by one, Sister Song Ci. Look at my sister. She’s a girl…]
In an instant, Song Ci’s backend exploded with private messages. They all begged her to notice their brothers and sisters so that they could get their break as soon as possible. They, too, hoped that their idol could give them a chance.
Under such circumstances, Song Ci’s fans and even other fans were frantically promoting ‘Seeking Danger’, hoping there would be more chances for Song Ci to notice them.
In response, Song Ci felt a little embarrassed. Chu Yi did not have to thank her so formally in public! As she thought this, her phone rang with a message from Chu Yi.
[Thank you, Song Ci. You have a bright future ahead. I believe in you.]
Song Ci looked at his serious words and replied: [Thank you. Let’s work hard together.]
After that, Song Ci went to Chu Yi’s account and commented: [There’s no need to thank me. You’re the one who’s good at acting. You were a star, to begin with.]
