Chapter 1046: Vinazola International Film Festival Awards Ceremony (Part 2)
Colton's voice was trembling with ecstasy:
"I watched your movie! "Day Rain"! Just this morning... Oh no, it was last night! No, no, it was at midnight! Uh-huh, that's it, you acted really well marvelous!"
Qin Jue blinked in surprise and emotion. "Don't worry, speak slowly, I'm listening." She said warmly with a grateful smile, "I'm listening, Colton."
Colton seemed to be about to cry, and he said "uh-huh" incoherently:
"I am, I want to say thank you! Zayde, the movie you acted in helped me a lot! Uh, I... I was taken to watch your movie by my friend, oh, yes! This is me Friends! This is Damon, this is Jasper, that’s Roberto, Shane and David, Marvin’s not here today…”
Colton's friends laughed. "Tell the point, brother!" the boy named "Damon" reminded with a smile.
"Oh! That's it!" Colton quickly came to his senses, licked his lips that were a little dehydrated due to nervousness, and said, "Well, Zayde, thank you for acting in "Daytime Rain"... Before this, I I don’t really know how to make friends, I mean, although Damon and the others were my friends, they weren’t the kind of ‘common friends’ at that time…well, I mean…yes…”
He was suddenly at a loss for words, and his words stopped for two seconds.
"Well. What do you mean?" Qin Jue looked at him gently.
Colton showed an expression on the verge of tears again:
"It's so kind of you - I, well, I want to thank you, because after we watched your movie together, Damon, Jasper and Roberto all apologized to me, uh, actually I I don’t really mind what they did to me before - I mean, none of us were very good at getting along with friends before! It’s just that I’m not good at expressing my feelings, so I didn’t know how to say no when I should say no before. No'--"
"Stop!" Jasper said.
"That's our problem!" Roberto continued.
"——You are taking responsibility again!" Damon added.
The trio's rebuttal made Colton burst into laughter. He faced Qin Jue's smiling face, his shyness mixed with pure joy that he wanted to convey and share:
"Anyway, we are very, very good friends now. We even played football together before coming here today! Ah, and also, when I said that I wanted to thank you in person, everyone also helped me and made me successful. Saw you here - even talked to you!"
Colton finished these sentences in one breath, and his nervousness eased a lot. He gasped twice, and smiled broadly under Qin Jue's kind and encouraging eyes:
"Thank you! Zayde! To be honest, before I met you, I was worried that you would be a bit gloomy like Mawson... a bit scary? I'm sorry, what am I talking about, you are an amazing actor! I just, It’s just because your acting skills are so great that I can’t help but think that you and Mo Sen are the same person - I didn’t mean to offend you!”
"Anyway, I'm so, so happy to see you so... healthy, cheerful, handsome, and so kind! I'm really, really happy - you're such an incredible actor! I've become a big fan of yours ! I will support your work in the future! ”
Colton's cheeks were flushed with excitement, and he felt like his heart was about to beat out of his chest several times.
God, is this real? Zayde is so gentle and patient, he is so kind——
The surroundings are noisy, but the strange tranquility is like the curled leaves blooming quietly, sprouting in the heart, shaking out a small flower as big as a fingernail, with a light and soft color. Qin Jue blinked, took half a step forward, and reached out to grab Colton's back through the cordon.
This is a courtesy hug. It was sudden and friendly.
Colton's eyes trembled, and for a few seconds he felt that time suddenly slowed down, as if a river was flowing gently around him and Qin Jue, who was half-hugging him.
"Thank you, I'm very happy to hear what you said." Qin Jue patted Colton on the back, then let him go, "Congratulations on having a good friend, and congratulations on them having you."
Colton was stunned. He clearly felt the weight of these words. Although they sounded very similar to those common scene words, when he was face to face with Qin Jue, he more intuitively touched the meaning of these words than anyone else. Full of sincerity.
"Sign!" Damon reminded again, "And your letter!"
"...Oh! Sorry, I was so excited that I forgot!"
Colton came to his senses in a panic, hurriedly touched his pocket, and took out an envelope with slightly wrinkled corners.
"Well, here are some things I want to say to you. Although it may be similar to what I just said - I didn't expect to be able to talk to you for so long - if you don't mind..." Colton shook his head in embarrassment. Smoothed away the wrinkles at the four corners.
"Of course I don't mind." Qin Jue thanked him with a smile and took his handwritten letter solemnly, "It's my pleasure."
She opened her long suit jacket a little, put the envelope into the inner pocket, then thought for a second, removed the pocket watch chain from her waist, took off the ring on her left hand, let the small ring pass through the bronze chain, and then stretched out her hand Under Colton's disbelieving gaze, he wrapped them around his neck.
"This is a return gift, my dear. I hope you can work hard. I hope you are healthy both physically and mentally and have a clear conscience." Qin Jue said.
Then he smiled and asked, "Do you still need a signature?"
Colton was in a trance until he successfully took out the notebook and pen. He got an expectation and a blessing at the same time. They were so sincere and simple that when Damon and Jasper helped to answer Qin Jue's questions, he realized that he had shed tears unconsciously.
"...The last letter is n? Good."
Qin Jue listened to Colton's friends spelling out his full name letter by letter, without showing any impatience from beginning to end. The gentle smile on her lips made the group of boys involuntarily quiet down, and everyone inexplicably felt that they were being watched by the kindness of their elders.
The person in front of him had a pair of eyes full of relief. Dark brown, the same as Mossen on the big screen, but different.
"Okay."
Qin Jue wrote the to sign, handed back the paper and pen, and let go of his hands after confirming that Colton's hands were shaking but steady.
She stepped back two steps towards them, and before turning around, she reached out again and patted the area below her heart through her long suit jacket. Colton's letter was there, like a warm medal.
Qin Jue smiled and waved to Colton and others.
"Come on!" Jasper next to Colton responded on his behalf, "Zayde, you are really the most kind and friendly actor I have ever seen!"
"Congratulations on winning the award!" Roberto also shouted.
"I hope everything goes well for you!" Damon put his hands around his mouth, "May you succeed!"
At that time, Qin Jue had walked two meters away, but she still turned sideways, leaving half of her face and eyes to them. She waved her hand and walked forward with warm and sincere blessings.
In front of her was the award ceremony venue of the Venazola International Film Festival.
In front of her was the red carpet that symbolized the road to the top of the film industry.
Noble, colorful, and glorious all the way.
