After Rebirth, I Decided To Inherit the Family Property

Chapter 80 – Please, Dad.

On Saturday evening, the annual China Film Festival Awards Ceremony finally kicked off amidst much anticipation.

From the Grand Theatre in Yan City where the ceremony was being held, to the temporary resting hotel for the participating crew, there were countless fans and media waiting on both sides of the road for as long as a kilometer, ready to meet the glittering stars who were about to appear.

In the suite allocated by the organizer to the cast of “Hong Bai Xi Xi”, there was an unexpected low tension in the air.

“Is Qin Ke still not here?”

The organizer’s staff face is full of frustration, “We have moved your red carpet entry order back a few blocks, and any further back is close to the grand finale, which is definitely against the rules. There are still five minutes, be prepared for the absence of the main actor, when the time comes, just go on.”

After saying that, he hurriedly closed the door and left.

The director of “Hong Bai Xi Xi” silently drank up a cup of tea, and the producers looked at each other.

As everyone knows, “Hong Bai Xi Xi” is a small budget movie.

The so-called small budget means that at the beginning of the project, not only did they have less money, they also had fewer people.

Compared to other thriving crews, they are the only two behind-the-scenes people who are available to be here today.

Even though they made 3 billion at the box office last year, they have not had the chance to meet the world.

This is the first time they have been invited to attend a film festival award ceremony, and they were already nervous. They didn’t expect a sudden accident, which added to their not-so-rich psychological quality.

Qin Ke’s flight back to the city was late due to air traffic control.

The TV in the room was broadcasting the red carpet ceremony of other crews in real time, and the directors and producers were looking at the screen with their eyes dull and with mixed feelings.

Other people’s crews have a neat and tidy family, but look at them ……

The producer sighed quietly: “It seems that only the two of us can walk the red carpet.”

The director nodded his head sorrowfully.

The domestic film and television industry has been under development for so many years that there are not many crews that attend the red carpet with a particularly small number of people, but at least they have one or two actors to support the scene, unlike them, there are only two middle-aged men with ordinary looks.

Just thinking about the scene on the red carpet later, the director can imagine that it will be a bleak scene that no one cares about.

If he had known this, he would have gone out of his way to grab a few of the other actors in the crew.

What’s wrong with everyone being an eighteenth-tier or even a stage actor, at least it will look lively enough.

Thinking of this, the director could not help but pick up the empty cup of tea, and empty drink.

Just then, the merry doorbell rang.

The two sad middle-aged men’s eyes instantly glowed, and the producer rushed over to open the door with a single stride: “You finally ……”

The words came to a screeching halt.

Song Yunran showed his head from behind the door: “Hi?”

“President Xiao Song, what brings you here?” The producer unexpectedly welcomed him in.

Song Yunran stepped into the room, looked around the sad room and announced in a loud voice: “I’m here to walk you down the red carpet and give you support.”

Time went back ten minutes.

Song Yunran put away the entrance tickets in the auditorium and commented with satisfaction, “Not bad, it’s facing the stage, this position has a good view.”

“You keep your voice down, who knows if there are any of your mom fans around.”

He Ziyou, who came with him, said, “Yun Ran, I was really touched, I didn’t think you would be willing to give up your guest seat and sit here with me.”

Song Yunran looked at him: “You know that’s all right.”

As an investor in Hong Bai Xi Xi, the organizers asked Song Yun Ran’s opinion a few days ago, asking him if he wanted to walk the red carpet with the crew.

Song Yun Ran just had an incident of being secretly filmed, and it was the time he was trying to keep a low profile, so he declined after thinking about it, and only asked the organizer to arrange a guest seat for him, he wanted to see Qin Ke up close on the stage receiving the award.

The result is that this morning, He Ziyou called aggressively, saying that he had been stood up and had an extra audience ticket in his hand and wanted to ask Song Yunran to accompany him to watch the award ceremony.

“I’m sacrificing too much, do you understand?”

Song Yunran pointed to the guest seat area with a better view, “Look at all the entertainment company bosses sitting there, I can obviously talk and laugh with them there, maybe when the awards are over, I can make a business deal.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Qin Ke’s phone call came.

Song Yunran immediately looked around vigilantly and saw that the audience were still looking for their seats as they entered the venue one after another, and only then did he tap on his phone and speak in a whisper, “Hello?”

Qin Ke spoke quickly: “Dad, do me a favor.”

“……”

If you have nothing to offer, you don’t want to steal.

Song Yunran lightly hummed, taking the attitude of a dad: “Tell me, what bad things are you doing outside?”

He Ziyou looked at him with contempt, Song Yunran made a face and returned.

Immediately after that, he heard Qin Ke on the other end of the phone, saying that he had just left the airport because his flight was late, but the cast of “Hong Bai Xi Xi” was about to walk the red carpet, so he would definitely not be able to make it.

“Ah, this was it? Why don’t you just let them go by themselves?”

Song Yunran couldn’t understand, “It’s not the first time an actor couldn’t make it to the red carpet because of an accident, it doesn’t matter.”

Also, he didn’t wear formal clothes and didn’t do any styling today.

The very respectable President Xiao Song frowned and did not want to appear in front of the public with a very casual image.

The background sound on Qin Ke’s side suddenly faded down, as if he had been switched to a quiet corner.

He explained, “Others may not matter, but when it comes to the two of them, something may go wrong.”

For the next two minutes, Song Yunran listened to the voice in the phone and felt a pang of speechlessness.

It turns out that in the previous life, the director and producer of “Hong Bai Xi Xi” walked the red carpet for the first time, and when they went on stage, they were overly nervous and blanked out.

If it wasn’t for Qin Ke reminding them, they would have made a lot of mistakes and become the laughing stock of the industry.

Song Yunran was surprised, because in his previous life he had seen this crew walk the red carpet, he only felt that the director and producer were very stiff in their words and actions, but never thought the two were actually so dramatic.

But thinking about the director sitting next to him at the screening of “Hong Bai Xi Xi”, the director looked so nervous that he lost his wits, so it’s not impossible.

Some of the people behind the scenes in the industry, all have this little problem, they will be very uncomfortable when they leave their area of expertise, especially when it comes to crowded occasions, it will be like a burst of social phobia, and they completely lose control of their body.

On one side is the main man who helps him make money, and on the other side is the personal image he cares about.

Song Yunran wandered around the two ends of the scale for a moment, thought about it and said, “Well, it’s not wrong to ask for my help, but you have to beg me first and listen.”

He Ziyou couldn’t bear to listen at the side and spat out, “What do you want? Your tail is almost in the air, and you’re still out there playing the domineering president for whom?”

“Shut up!”

Song Yunran kicked him in anger.

The commotion of their scuffle reached the phone and was met with a soft laugh from Qin Ke.

The short sound of his breathy voice came into his ears through the receiver, just like a soft feather scratching across his ear, bringing a slight tingling sensation.

Immediately after, when Song Yunran was not ready.

“Please, dad.”

The low and lazy voice that sounded unprepared, was like a sexy murmur in the middle of the night when no one was around, and dragged his consciousness instantly into a charming and limitless trap.

Song Yunran’s brain “buzzed”, by the more lethal tone than imagined, and exploded countless fireworks.

He froze and fluttered his eyelashes, and hastily looked down at his toes, replying in a jarring voice: “…… Oh, okay.”

When he got up, his face was as red as a steamed crab.

The black sedan slowly drove to the red carpet, and the Grand Theatre was near in sight.

Song Yunran stroked his forehead hair back and found that his mood had returned to being calm at this moment.

It’s strange that when he left the hotel, he thought he was “revisiting the same place” and would definitely have many emotions.

For example, in the previous life, today, Ihe walked the red carpet as an actor.

For example, if he thought that the person holding the best newcomer trophy that night was Qin Ke, he would have definitely shed two lines of tears again for his humble status as a tool man.

But when the moment really came, Song Yunran realized that those original plots that used to bother him so much, seemed to be unknowingly turned into irrelevant background settings.

At this moment, all he thinks about is that he must perfectly complete the task given to him by Qin Ke.

” It’s time to get off the car, you quickly wipe the sweat on your face.”

Song Yunran took out a few tissues and handed them to the director and producer who were already getting restless, “Cheer up, not everyone has the opportunity to walk the red carpet with the investors, it’s your honor.”

The other two people’s legs trembled even more frequently as soon as it was said.

Song Yunran pursed his lips and thought to himself that it was not easy for Qin Ke, who was also a new actor starting out, to take care of these two older children who were not reliable.

When the car door opened, flashing lights and screams came at the same time.

Song Yunran’s long legs stepped out, steadily stepping on the ground, before sharply moving his body out as well.

He straightened his back, his lips were decorated with just the right smile, and once he turned around, his smile froze on his face.

The director and the producer actually got out of the car at the same time from the front and back rows, and both of them just stuffed their heads and dug out, so as you can imagine, the two heads hit each other hard.

Fortunately, with him blocking the car door, this awkward scene was not captured by the camera.

When they finally got out of the car, Song Yunran took the initiative to stand to the far right, giving the middle C-seat to the director.

The three of them stepped onto the red carpet, and the host at the end began to introduce them according to the tableau: “Coming towards us is the crew of Hong Bai Xi Xi, who have been shortlisted for a total of three awards at this year’s China Film Awards: Best Newcomer, Best Screenplay and Best Actor ……”

“Huh…?”

A neat sound of amazement slightly overshadowed the host’s voice.

Song Yunran turned his face sideways and looked at the fan area outside the railing.

A group of young girls holding Qin Ke’s banner looked at him, and then looked back at the car that had already driven away.

Where did my so handsome husband go?

Everyone turned their eyes back in unison.

The crowd was too noisy, and Song Yunran couldn’t explain to them, so he could only curl his eyes and smile a little, trying to achieve the purpose of appeasement.

It just so happens that at this moment, the nearby flashing lights flashed rapidly a few times.

The dazzling light fell into his eyes, and in a flash, the sky was like a river of stars hidden in his clear eyes.

The crowd, which had been somewhat disappointed, suddenly stirred.

“Ahhhhhhhh, it’s too cute!”

“Song Yunran! Mom loves you!”

“Qin Ke’s girlfriend loves you too-!”

The messy calls made the corners of Song Yunran’s mouth twitch, he gathered his smile, and coldly turned his head, walking the rest of the red carpet without looking back.

The host, with a smile on his face, continued, “As well as we would like to explain to our viewers and friends at the scene and in front of the screen, the star of “Hong Bai Xi Xi”, Qin Ke, was temporarily unable to arrive at the scene due to traffic reasons. But we are honored to invite the producer of “Hong Bai Xi Xi ” Mr. Song Yun Ran ……”

Song Yunran slowed down his steps and was about to nod to the host when he saw the director walking past the interview area with his hands and feet.

He inwardly complained, but outwardly unperturbed, dragged the person back, and pulled the producer, who was standing still, to the host, before taking the microphone handed to him as if nothing had happened.

The host looked at him and expressed his gratitude for saving the show with his eyes before asking, “Do you have confidence in winning the award today?”

The director and producer spoke in unison: “Not really.”

Host: “……”

Song Yunran’s heart was so tired, and his sympathy for Qin Ke was rising.

He picked up the microphone and salvaged: “They are joking. In fact, when the movie was not yet released, we had great confidence in the box office and awards.”

“Oh? Not bad for the ever-confident Mr. Song.”

The host kindly teased, “When you say awards, do they include the Best Actor tonight?”

…… not so confident.

Song Yunran subconsciously wanted to answer this, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly remembered the video call two days ago, when Qin Ke gently analyzed the situation with him.

In Qin Ke’s opinion, the possibility of him getting the best actor is so small that it is almost negligible.

This is not only from his knowledge of fate, but also from his rational judgment.

But that kind of analysis is too calm and too cautious.

Song Yun Ran gripped the microphone tightly, and another answer emerged in his mind.

Qin Ke obviously has such an indifferent personality, but he personally said that compared to the so-called false name of conferring gods, he just wants to be with him simply. For Qin Ke, that might not be a kind of madness that belongs to him alone.

He really likes me so much.

In that case ……

Song Yunran thought, ‘I’ll open up for him for a while and give him my best wishes, it would also be a form of reciprocating love.’

“Yes, including the best actor. I know the actors shortlisted this time are all very strong, but ……”

Song Yunran looked in the direction of the camera and spoke with pride, “But I believe Qin Ke is the strongest!”

The author has something to say:
Qin Ke: …… don’t be toxic milk
