At the Pearl Film Festival, 《Heart-pounding Excitement》had cinched multiple awards: Best Cinematography, Best Film Editing, Best Original Score and Best Director- bagging four of the top grand awards of the night. Although they had missed out on the most prestigious honour of the ceremony, the Best Film award, for a man who had just entered the film industry, these four grand awards were enough for him to appear on the front-page headlines of the various news media.
After the film ceremony ended, Lu Xi continued to remain low-profiled and rejected all special interview invitations by all of the news media and magazines. Moreover, he had not even attended the after-party for the film ceremony either, and instead immediately brought Su Jin through the side exit as they slipped away.
Sitting in the front passenger seat, Su Jin asked rather curiously, "Lu Xi, why do you go to such painstaking efforts to remain so private?"
This year, he was just twenty-six years old, an age where he could still be hot-blooded, brilliant and youthful. In addition to that, he had an unbelievably good family background and looks that were a game cheat in and of itself. If he had not deliberately remained so low-profiled to hide himself, he would definitely be able to attain a considerable amount of popularity, therefore, as a person who was in the entertainment circle, it would be obvious that all of this should have been an advantage to him.
Yet, for this man to remain this subdued, it truly caused others to raise their hackles at such an act. It was just that he acted as petty as a child at times, therefore she used this appellation of 'Three-year-old Lu' to tease him too. Yet, the truth was that even for her who was living through her second life, she could not outdo this man; so much so that... ...He might even be more mature than she was.
Lu Xi remained silent for a long while and shook his head. Then, he spoke lowly, "living under the spotlight would be very strenuous."
Very strenuous?
Su Jin raised an eyebrow.
"Public figures have no freedom but I am not only including myself," he turned his head to look at the girl with a raised brow and continued, "but you as well."
Su Jin blinked.
"When the moment comes, even if we were not holding hands while taking a stroll on the streets, this could be interpreted as a fight and then it would evolve into a split of affection between us, and then we might even divorce."
"Why is there a need for that then?" He lightly chuckled, "being like this is perfectly fine. Even though there is enthusiasm and popularity for me right now after the award ceremony, it is short-lived. As long as I don't actively hype this news up, then this forgetful entertainment circle will quickly put this news item behind them. What will forever remain present for the public will be 'Director Lu Xi' and his works, not the person himself."
