669 Developing in a Better Direction
Lu Gan looked at the information on the web page excitedly. He picked up his phone, wanting to call Song Ci but quickly stopped. Song Ci should still be in the interview and probably would not have time to answer the phone. He opened Song Ci’s chat and decided to send her a message. [Congratulations on winning the award, baby. You deserve it!]
Fu Qinqin also saw the message and jumped up from her chair in surprise. “Yes!”
The netizens were surprised.
[Song Ci won the award just like that?]
[It’s one of the three major international film festivals, and she won the award just like that? How? Can anyone just win nowadays?]
[Song Ci’s acting has always been very good. This has been publicly acknowledged. To those who want to slander her, don’t jump around. I’m happy today. No one is paying attention to you. Whether it’s television or movies, Song Ci’s evaluation is very high.]
[I have to admit that Song Ci’s acting skills have always been good, but she’s too young.]
[Song Ci’s movie seems so amazing. One is Best Director while the other is Best Actress. I’m so curious.]
[Hahahaha. Now you know why many movies go to film festivals to be selected before they are released. It’s to win an award and keep you guys in suspense.]
Not long after, Song Ci was trending.
Actors and directors who had worked with her in the past also sent her their blessings. Of course, some people took advantage of her popularity and sent her their blessings. However, this was the reality.
After Song Ci won the Best Actress award, she was inevitably surrounded by reporters the moment she walked out of the venue. She generously and gently answered the reporters’ questions before leaving with the rest of the crew.
Qian Wu’s original plan was to have fun for another day after attending the award ceremony. However, now that he and Song Ci had both won the award, he guessed that Song Ci probably wanted to go back to see Lu Gan as soon as possible. He also wanted to go home and show his award to his brothers and sisters. This time, his family would no longer stop him. Therefore, Qian Wu asked Chu Yi and Shi Mingyu about leaving earlier. With everyone’s unanimous approval, he booked the plane tickets and prepared to return home.
On the way back, he even comforted Chu Yi. “When you return, think about what you want to film next. When the time comes, I’ll let you be my only male lead.”
Chu Yi smiled. “Thank you, Director Qian.”
“You’re welcome.” After Qian Wu finished speaking, he handed the trophy to Shi Mingyu. “Here.”
“Why are you giving it to me?” Shi Mingyu did not understand.
“Didn’t I tell you? This trophy belongs to you, me, and Song Ci. Now that Song Ci has her own trophy, this one belongs to us.” He said seriously, “If it weren’t for you and this trophy, I would definitely let you win the Best Screenwriter Award next time.”
Shi Mingyu smiled gently and shyly. “Sure.”
Qian Wu returned the smile and stuffed the trophy into Shi Mingyu’s arms. Shi Mingyu had no choice but to hold it, and his eyes were filled with joy.
Song Ci smiled when she saw the scene in front of her. It was great. Everything was developing in a good direction. Qian Wu was still the genius director who shocked the world with one brilliant feat and had even produced a Best Actress. However, he was no longer that lonely director.
It was already dark when they got off the plane. Lu Gan had been waiting at the airport exit for a long time, wanting to share his joy with Song Ci as soon as possible.
Song Ci happily got into the car and showed him the trophy. “Does it look good?” she said excitedly.
“It’s nice.” Lu Gan saw the joy hidden in the corner of her eyes and reached out to touch her head. “You’re amazing. So amazing.”
Song Ci felt a little embarrassed when she heard him say that. She said humbly, “It’s mainly because of Director Qian. He and his script were very good. He filmed it well too. That’s why he got this trophy.”
“It’s because you’re good. The teachers teach the same materials, but some can get first place while others get last,” Lu Gan said.
Song Ci could not help but laugh. She lowered her head and looked at her trophy, her eyes filled with sunshine.
They returned home without a hitch. Song Ci looked at the unlit house and asked curiously, “Is there no one at home? Where are Yujin and Lu Suo?”
“Xiao Li took the two out to play.” Lu Gan seemed to have just remembered something. “You go in first. Xiao Li isn’t here. I’ll park the car in the underground garage.”
“I’ll go with you,” Song Ci said considerately.
“No need,” Lu Gan smiled and flicked her on the head. “Do you like me so much that you can’t leave me, even for a minute?”
Song Ci immediately became arrogant. “What are you saying? I’m just being beautiful and kind.” With that, she turned around and walked towards the door.
Lu Gan chuckled as he watched her leave. He got back into the car and drove to the underground garage.
