(Don’t look yet, add a title and it’s fixed)
The closing ceremony of the film festival is officially being livestreamed.
However, because walking the red carpet and the entire award ceremony is too lengthy.
More than three hours, so the movie channel will not broadcast the entire event this time but will delay broadcast only for the award ceremony.
However, even before the broadcast started, the members of the "Huaguo Film Report" program team had already gathered early to watch the live scene.
"Do you think Wu Mu will win an award this time?" Director Mu Yang looked curiously at Wu Mu, who was being greeted with cheers on the red carpet.
"Hard to say." Editor-in-chief Wang Yun shook his head, hesitated a bit, but decided to speak honestly, "Although the excitement is high, the chances don’t look very promising."
Not only for domestic audiences but also for the festival judges.
A Hua Country actor who’s never been heard of emerged, looking overly striking, with some controversy surrounding his performance.
Directly awarding the title of Best Actor to such a person requires the judges to make a bold decision.
"If he can settle down for a few more years, at least he wouldn’t be a complete unknown to the judges, the situation would be much better."
Wang Yun tends to think the judges will have Wu Mu take some time to settle first.
But others nearby have different opinions, "Which Cannes Best Actor wasn’t sudden, who could assure they would definitely win the Cannes Best Actor, wasn’t the 14-year-old Japanese actor Minamino Tomoharu’s win sudden too?"
Wang Yun instinctively looked over and found it was the show’s producer Ding Yan.
Ding Yan had a slightly reminiscent expression, "Even though I haven’t seen his movie yet, even Matthew Albert can support him so much, there must be something genuine."
"True, there’s no problem with him winning the Best Actor either." Wang Yun conceded.
Just like Wu Mu’s free personality, like Matthew Albert, who offends people everywhere, truly supporting someone isn’t seen as personal sentiment, it’s recognized as genuine ability.
Anyway, no matter what, Wu Mu reaching this stage is already extremely unexpected for everyone.
Not only those on the movie channel are watching the festival’s live situation.
Online audiences, Wu Mu, Lin Qingyue, their family and friends are also closely monitoring the situation.
Take Lin Qingyue’s grandparents’ house, for instance, it’s filled with people right now.
"Dad, hold on, I’m projecting the livestream onto the TV." Lin Qingyue’s mother, Du Lan, is fiddling with her phone, trying to project the official YouTube livestream.
"Sis, I saw online that Qingyue seems very likely to win something this time, at least Best Debut."
"Short film won Venice’s Golden Bear, first feature film won Cannes’ Golden Camera, more gifted than her dad."
Next to her, Lin Qingyue’s father, grandparents, several uncles and aunts, and a heap of children were all there.
All waiting to witness their family’s moment of glory.
Although being a director doesn’t quite fit their family’s path.
All are eagerly watching.
For instance, Sun Yueqing.
"Amu, not sure if he can win the Cannes Best Actor this time..." She held her hands nervously.
As an actor herself, she naturally knew the prestige of the Cannes Best Actor and hoped her friend could win it.
However, besides the tension, there’s something subtle in her heart.
Isn’t her friend a bit too successful?
She hasn’t even won any domestic film festival awards yet, and her friend is already aiming for Cannes Best Actor?
It’s right to hope for your friend’s success, but you can’t be this successful!
Imagining the future where she looks at her dog-year friend and sees the sparkling Cannes Best Actor halo, she feels a bit insecure inside.
"Little Wu is really magnificent." Lu Yao’s eyes were sparkling.
Mo Mo and the others, already stopped working, are watching attentively.
But before reaching the hotel, he unexpectedly spotted an acquaintance by the roadside.
Huh, why is she here?
Wu Mu looked curiously at the figure standing in front of a restaurant.
It was Su Meng, whom he met long ago in the first episode of Star Agency.
She was standing next to a red Ferrari, looking angry, talking with someone inside the Ferrari.
Wu Mu couldn’t see who was in the Ferrari, but they were evidently also bad-tempered, as they sped off after exchanging a few words, leaving Su Meng behind.
Su Meng watched the car drive away with a furrowed brow.
Wu Mu drove over smilingly and rolled down the window, "Little Su, long time no see."
Su Meng turned her head over, seeming a bit startled.
This was only their second in-person meeting.
However, Su Meng seemed to follow his situation quite a bit, as Wu Mu often received comments from her on his new songs via WeChat.
They didn’t chat much, she simply mentioned how good the songs are.
Whether black fans or white fans, at least she contributes to his viewership.
Wu Mu chuckled, "Your driver ran off? Want me to give you a ride?"
Su Meng hesitated briefly, "Let me inform my family first."
"Aunt Qing, you don’t need to come, my friend will give me a ride home. Okay, I know."
After the call, Su Meng opened the passenger door and got in.
After clarifying the destination, Wu Mu was quite curious, "Aren’t you from Shen City, how come you’re here?"
Su Meng shook her head, "I am from Shen City, but my family has a house here in Beijing too."
She paused and then smiled slightly, "We were just at the venue earlier, my friends wanted to cover their ears during your first song."
Wu Mu laughed heartily, "Well, that’s not related to me, I sang without issue."
Wu Mu and Su Meng chatted casually and soon dropped her off at a large courtyard in Upper City District, not far from the Forbidden City.
Hmm, confirmed, she’s also a Heavenly Dragon People.
Wu Mu was quite surprised. Based on everyday words and actions, one could tell Su Meng’s family was rather wealthy.
But he didn’t expect them to be this wealthy.
Talking about the courtyard alone, it’s likely worth at least
The host wasn’t visible for now, Yang Rongfa asked, "Quite a few big directors and company bosses from the industry came today, want me to introduce anyone to you?"
This is a chance for normal industry insiders.
Knowing more people is always a good thing.
But... recalling the previous banquet experience, Yang Rongfa wisely chose to ask first.
Wu Mu shook his head, "No..."
However, halfway through shaking, he glanced at a figure in a small parlor beside the main living room, partly hidden, slightly pausing. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel[f]ire.net
"Director Lin is here too?" Wu Mu asked Yang Rongfa.
He was, of course, referring to Lin Qingyue’s father, Lin Xueming.
Even though Lin Qingyue could come back tonight, she had to handle the crew’s matters and wouldn’t be present.
Moreover, he mentioned to Lin Qingyue earlier in the morning regarding attending the banquet, and if Lin Qingyue was coming, she would mention it to him.
