Chapter 371: Much-anticipated

The Venice Film festival was also known as the “Father of Film Festivals.” It was an internationally renowned Film Festival where many stars would gather.

This was the first time in two lifetimes for Yun Xiangxiang to join such a grand Film Festival. She was excited and somewhat nervous.

“Don’t worry, follow me later.” Lu Jin comforted her gently, seeming to notice that she was a little nervous.

“Hahahaha, it’s okay. Just be calm and treat it as a local event.” He Xingzhou grinned.

It was not the first time for both of them to attend International Film Festivals. Moreover, they had both won movie superstar awards before in the International Film Festivals.

“I’m just excited.” She rolled her eyes at him.

It was exciting. Not because she was worried if she would get any awards, but because it was inevitable to experience emotional ups and downs for any first time experiences in life.

“You will get used to it in the future.” Lu Jin was very optimistic about her journey as a star.

“The competition for the best actress this time is a little bit of a cliff hanger.” Wu Zhao had to let her prepare herself.

“I did not expect to win the award in the first place.” Yu Xiangxiang smiled genuinely.

The film “The King’s Plan” was male-oriented, as its highlights were the hotblooded battles amongst men. Hou Cang had more screen time than she did.

The judgment for the best actress was not based on how much screen time an actor had. It could burst in their acting skills in a particular scene that conquered the judges and the audience.

However, there were countless excellent works internationally. The reason why Yun Xiangxiang’s role was considered the heroine was probably that the main hero pursued her character.

Excluding this factor, her role was to support the main hero to seem more realistic and emotional so that the film would be a little softer.

So it was impossible to compete to be the best actress.

“Don’t be discouraged, the theme of this year’s Film Festival is “the past,” which gives our film a great advantage.” Wu Zhao cheered again.

The Venice Film Festival had a unique feature that every session will have a theme. The theme usually hinted at which film would receive the awards.

“The King’s Plan” was a historical film, which of course, meant it was in the past.

“The main creative team of “The King’s Wisdom” will be on the red carpet next.”

At the same moment they heard their film being introduced, the hostess walked over to invite them onto the red carpet.

Yun Xiangxiang held onto Lu Jin and He Xingzhou, while Wu Zhao walked alone.

Lu Jin wore a silver-gray suit today, while He Xingzhou wore a white suit. The colors of the two made her purple more eye-catching.

Her style today was noble and elegant. The silk itself had luster. The styled mosaic diamonds enveloped the purple jade with dazzling brilliance.

Zhou Jie used silver glitter on her hair. Her hair shone as she walked like stars in the night sky. It coordinated well with the diamonds of her earrings and the gloss of her gown.

It was as if she was wrapped in twilight stars, like a goddess walking out of the night with the halo of saints.

The spotlights shone on her without stopping as soon as she appeared. She kept a polite smile from beginning till the end, occasionally releasing Lu Jin or He Xingzhou to wave at her fans who came to support her.

Although there were not many fans, her smile was still very charming.

When she entered the meeting place, Milles was there too. When he saw her, he greeted his friends who were chatting with him and walked towards her.

In the past two years, Milles developed very fast. Several of his films had achieved good results. He seemed to be a rising star in the French directorship.

Wu Zhao himself was also a frequent visitor to these International Film Festivals. He intended to let Yun Xiangxiang meet some people, but since Milles came up, he could only greet his friends by himself.

“”First Love” will be on screen by Christmas if everything goes well. Will you come to promote it?” Milles asked cordially.

“It’s a pity, and I’m sorry, Milles.” She shook her head, “I don’t think I have the time.”

“It’s okay. I hope you will not miss the Film Festival.” Milles was very confident.

Before the film was finished, let alone released, he had already thought of the Film Festival.

Her lips curled, “Of course, I am looking forward to it.”

Milled left without saying much to her. Lu Jin stayed with her, and they arrived at the arranged seats.

Just as they were about to take their seats, Yun Xiangxiang saw Joseph inadvertently. It just so happened that the other party also looked over in this direction.

She smiled politely to him, then kept to herself and sat down. It was as if she met a stranger whom she did not know.

It was not her being pretentious. But at her current level, it would be embarrassing to pounce ahead.

All around Joseph were internationally renowned filmmakers, actors, behind-the-scenes workers, directors, and such other figures that had a place in this circle.

To these people, she was just a little-known person.

She did not expect that Joseph walked towards her in full view of others, the spotlight shining right on him.

Not just her, even He Xingzhou and Lu Jin were taken aback, especially He Xingzhou. Joseph was his favorite director.

“I didn’t expect we would meet again so soon.” Joseph smiled like a kind elder.

To show respect, Yun Xiangxiang stood up immediately, “I am also surprised and honored.”

“Why did you come today?” Joseph was curious.

Anyone who knew Joseph would know that he was a person with a strong desire for inquiry. Once something piqued his interest, he would want to see the reason for it at the first moment without considering any situation.

Now, for example, a great director like him, who has received more attention than an international superstar, just walked in front of Yun Xiangxiang, as if he did not know that his actions would affect her.

In Joseph’s point of view, newcomers like her either did not come, or they would not show up at this time even if they decided to come.

After all, the Film Festival and various activities were very conducive to broadening networks and obtaining resources.

“You should know that I went back to China to compete for the leading female role for “Flying Sky.””

Xie Manliang had such a good relationship with him. Indeed, he would have told him this news.

“Yes, congratulations, he is an amazing director.” Joseph nodded, “But your audition ends on the twentieth.”

“My parents went to Beijing from my hometown to see me. I need to accompany them.” She answered frankly, “The Film Festival is important, but I think that my parents are more important.”

So between the two, she chose to accompany her parents, and it was already late to come back by the twenty-sixth.
