667 Chapter 667-lost
On the night of the closing ceremony of the France Film Festival, the media, both domestic and foreign, who had received invitations, gathered at the Grand Theater.
The film fans at home and abroad who were paying attention to this Golden Age were all watching the live broadcast. They saw the stars shining on the red carpet as celebrities and celebrities from the fashion world entered one after another.
Back in China, PEI Yi had also freed up some time in advance to watch the closing ceremony.
He and Jiang se had just gotten married, but they had gone their separate ways due to work. They usually contacted each other through video calls. When he really missed her, he would search for news about her on the internet to relieve the pain of missing her.
Jiang se had already been to the awards ceremony venue of the France Film Festival three times, so she was no stranger to it.
Her relationship with Tao cen was a little special. She was guided by the staff all the way to the seat that belonged to the crew of ” criminal suspects “. Tao cen kept looking up with a smile on his face.
Occasionally, they would meet the media asking for a photo together, and both of them were very cooperative, but they didn’t say a word during the process.
Huo Zhiming did not seem to notice the awkwardness between the two of them. On the other hand, the other supporting actors and actresses who had come with them were feeling rather awkward. They wanted to strike up a conversation with Jiang se, but they were afraid that Tao cen would be left out. Therefore, everyone around them was whispering to each other. Only the seats where the crew of ” the suspect ” were seated seemed rather deserted. Everyone had their heads lowered.
Jiang SEMO was reciting her lines. When she noticed that Tao cen was looking at her, she sighed and looked up.
In reality, Tao cen had been staring at her for about two to three minutes. Jiang se thought that she would turn her head away after staring for a while, so she pretended not to notice. To her surprise, Tao cen did not look away after he stared at her.
Even when she sensed Tao cen’s gaze and raised her head to look at her, she still maintained her previous posture.
Tao cen did not speak to Jiang se throughout the entire journey. For the movie, Huo Zhiming had added Jiang SE’s name to the “female lead” column instead of the “supporting female character” column. This had already placed Tao cen in an awkward position.
In addition to the relationship between the two of them in the past, it was no wonder that she was not even willing to say hello to him this time.
Jiang se initially thought that she would maintain her cold attitude until the closing ceremony of the French Film Festival ended. She did not expect her to lose her cool at that moment.
She was still staring at Jiang se as if she did not realize that Jiang se had noticed her gaze.
Tonight, Jiang se was wearing a black gown with a golden armband on her upper arm. Other than that, she did not have any other accessories on her.
However, on such a jeweled occasion, even if she was not covered in Jade and jewels, her young beauty and snow-white skin were still better than any Diamond Pearl. She had been lowering her head earlier, probably because she was silently reciting the lines that she might be called to say on stage later.
Recently, the media and film Critics had been praising her a lot. Everyone knew that she was a famous figure at the closing ceremony of the French Film Festival tonight, and they kept turning to look at her.
Previously, a group of reporters had been chasing after her on the red carpet. Because of Chesare, ” God’s salvation “, and the Grand wedding, Jiang se had become completely popular.
“What are you looking at?”
Jiang se looked into her eyes for a moment. Although Tao cen was looking at her, her thoughts had clearly drifted away. It was only when Jiang se said this that she came back to her senses. She pursed her lips.
“I’m looking at you memorizing your script.”
She spoke softly. This was the first time she had spoken to Jiang se tonight. Her gaze gradually focused and she revealed a mocking expression.
“You’re reciting the speech when you go on stage to receive the award later, right?” When Tao cen said this, he paused for a moment. He turned to look at Jiang se.
are you that confident that you’ve already won against me and can win the Best Female Lead Award in ‘suspect’? ”
The two of them conversed softly with a smile on their faces. To outsiders, they seemed to be very close.
However, the production crew still remembered how the two of them had ignored each other earlier. Although there was already news of discord between Tao cen and Jiang se during the filming of ” suspect, ” the two of them had still maintained a friendly facade. It was completely different from today, where they did not even speak.
He had thought that the awkward atmosphere would last until the closing ceremony of the film festival ended. Even before the ceremony started, the two women, who had always been very cold, began to talk again.
This scene made the crew very curious and they turned their heads to look from time to time.
“You’re overthinking.”
Jiang se smiled and shook her head.
regardless of whether you can win an award or not, whether you have given a speech or not, you have to memorize these words. It’s just to be prepared in advance.
Tao cen might be aware of this logic. She was only saying these words because she was unwilling to accept the truth.
When the two of them had met for the first time at the France Film Festival a few years ago, Tao cen had clearly known that she had no hope of winning the ‘Best Female Lead’ award. However, she had also been reciting her lines like Jiang se.
Who knew that after a few years, she would not even be prepared for such a job because of loss and disappointment? one could only imagine how dejected and disappointed she was at this moment.
“Do you feel especially happy?”
Tao cen turned to look at Jiang se. She was looking at the stage in the middle of the stage. The screen on the stage was playing movies that had won awards at the France Film Festival in recent years. demon ” was one of them. She caught a glimpse of Jiang se.
“Chaoqun abandoned me and chose you.”
They were both censare movies, but one of them played an insignificant role in a popcorn commercial film, while the other played the female lead in a movie that censare had carefully prepared. In the end, she became famous after one battle, and her name spread all over the world. She broke many box office records and was destined to be included in the classic data of ‘centuries-old filmmaker’.
Moreover, Jiang SE’s achievements and status in the country were almost on par with Tao cen’s. When Tao cen left century Galaxy, he was still in high spirits. He still had the drive to set sail again and the drive to fight with Jiang se. However, his development had not been smooth-sailing until now.
When she received the script for ” a suspect ” and found out that the company wanted Jiang se to play the supporting role for her, she had been so confident. Tao cen had never dreamed that she would become Jiang SE’s foil because of this movie.
“I’ve never thought of that.”
Jiang se shook her head. Tao cen could not help but laugh when she heard that. She clearly did not believe Jiang se.
“Others might not know about our relationship, but we do.” She looked around her and leaned her head closer to Jiang se.
“No one else can hear what we’re saying. I don’t have any recording equipment on me,”
She raised her eyebrows and her eyes were filled with mockery.
“What are you afraid of?”
“Miss Tao, I really didn’t think of it that way.”
Jiang se reiterated her words. She did not want to say much, but when she saw the mockery in Tao cen’s eyes, she said sternly, ”
whether you believe it or not, I don’t think we are enemies. To me, you are my senior, a mirror, and of course, my opponent. Regardless of whether Tao cen believed it or not, the competition for resources between the two parties in the past had always been based on their own abilities. There were times when they won and lost.
“I’ve learned a lot from you. It’s also because of your existence that I can always be on guard against myself and not be too relaxed.”
She had suffered at Tao cen’s hands before, and she had also made Tao cen suffer at her hands. However, there was no personal grudge between them. you’re the one who walked in front, so I’ll use you as my goal and work hard. If you walk too slowly, to be blunt, what relationship do you have with me then? Why should I be happy?”
Jiang SE’s words caught Tao cen by surprise. The smile on her face gradually froze, and the hint of mockery in her eyes turned into embarrassment.
as for why SIS Chaoqun abandoned you and chose me, that’s her own choice. If miss Tao is curious about this, you can ask her directly.
When she said this, Jiang se smiled and nodded at her. Then, she lowered her head and prepared to continue memorizing her speech.
Tao cen was too proud. When Xia Chaoqun had given up on working with her back then, she had brooded over it to this day. She had not even asked about it and had pretended to be cool on the surface. She did not expect that she would still be thinking about it.
Jiang se had already stopped talking. On the other hand, Tao cen found it difficult to remain calm.
For a moment, she felt that Jiang se was merely showing off. If she were in the same position as her, if Huo Zhiming was the one who played her in ” the suspect ” instead of her, if she was the one who was praised by the media and film Critics, and the public thought that the award at the France Film Festival belonged to her instead of her, would she still be able to say those Grand words she said earlier?
However, after a while, she vaguely felt that Jiang se was telling the truth. Tao cen could tell whether Jiang SE’s gaze on her was genuine or fake. She had been in the industry for many years. She could tell what acting was and what true feelings were. Perhaps Jiang se was not gloating at her current situation at all.
However, understanding this did not make Tao cen happy. On the contrary, it only made her sadder.
If what Jiang se said was true, then all the ‘conflicts’ he had with her in the past were just his one-sided imagination?
She pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and lifted her chin.
At the center of the stage, the host had already started his speech. The judges were invited onto the stage one by one. Tonight’s award ceremony had officially begun!
When the host began to read out the shortlisted list of the first award, Jiang se noticed that Tao cen was already silently memorizing the script for her speech, just like she had.
The first Photography Award,’the suspect’, was not shortlisted and was won by a France film.
In the media stands, Tao Tao was also one of the lucky ones to have gotten a ticket to the France Film Festival this year.
For the previous two awards, the most popular ‘suspect’ was not shortlisted. This undoubtedly made her both happy and worried.
She was happy because ” demon ” had been nominated for too many awards in the early stages of the film. In the end, it had won the best Director and Best Actor awards. However, in the end, Jiang se, who had performed outstandingly in the film, was only nominated, just like Tao cen.
Tao Tao had also watched ” suspect ” this year in advance. Jiang se had once again created classic images and characters in her acting career. The quality of the film was beyond doubt. It would definitely have a place in the France Film Festival this year.
The fewer nominees there were in the early stages, it might mean that ‘suspect’ would have a higher chance of winning the important awards later on.
Tao Tao was no longer a newbie in the media industry, and it was not her first time at the France Film Festival.
Apart from being a regret for Jiang se, this Film Festival was also a great regret for her, a fan of Jiang se.
She yearned to see Jiang SE’s name at such an important film Festival. When she saw Jiang se go on stage and hold the trophy, she hoped that Jiang se would not only be recognized by her fans and the market, but also receive a well-deserved honor.
From the beginning of the award ceremony until now, Tao Tao had been on edge. As the host, she read, ”
shortlisted for the best Screenwriter award are ‘the couple’ and ‘the suspect’.
When the host read ” suspect, ” a clip of the movie appeared on the screen behind them, but it quickly disappeared as the host read the next movie.
a suspect ” had obviously gained a lot of attention at this year’s film Festival. This was the first nomination for the film tonight, and it quickly attracted the attention of the people around them.
The camera seemed to understand the audience’s thoughts as it turned to the camera. At that moment, Huo Zhiming, Jiang se, Tao cen, and the others appeared in the live stream of the France Film Festival that was broadcasted worldwide.
Huo Zhiming’s face also showed a rare smile. suspect “was an adaptation of his work. He had been quiet for many years and had not been able to achieve anything. A few years ago, for various reasons, he had been carrying the reputation of a ‘lousy film director’ and was laughed at by people for not being able to tell the story well.
Now that “the suspect” was written and directed by him, he was nominated for the best Screenwriter award at the French Film Festival. This was a great affirmation for Huo Zhiming and also swept away his gloominess in the past few years. When the camera turned to him, he even raised his hand in a very good mood and waved to the audience.
the winner of the best Screenwriter award is … after reading the names of the five nominated films, a member of the jury stood up, opened the envelope in his hand, and read out the name of the film that had won the award:
“Huo Zhiming from ‘the suspect’!”
The entire audience applauded. This result was within the expectations of many people. The plot of “the suspect” had been full of ups and downs. Meeting a suitable actor made the story more interesting. The French Film Festival’s jury finally chose “the suspect “, which was well-deserved.
While Tao Tao was clapping for Huo Zhiming, she was also a little worried.
With ‘demon’ as a lesson, she was afraid that ‘suspect’ would win too many awards and repeat the same thing.
Fortunately,’suspect’ was not mentioned in the next few awards.
When they were nominated for the supporting male and female roles, although the few actors who came with them were already mentally prepared, when they found out that they were really not nominated, they still could not hide their disappointment.
“The works shortlisted for the Best Director award are: winter is coming, ” ” France girls, ” ” Barty’s neighbor ” the hosts ‘voices echoed in the venue. Those who were called showed ecstatic expressions as the camera turned, while those who weren’t called had looks of anticipation.
