After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God-Chapter 874 - : Qu Lingyun’s New Movie, Calling Him Brother Nine (2)
Chapter 874: Qu Lingyun’s New Movie, Calling Him Brother Nine (2)
This was Qu Lingyun!
Even actors and actresses who had already won the Glenn Awards yearned to star in his films.
Who wouldn’t want to become the next Yun Lan, a milestone in the history of cinema?
To win the Glenn Lifetime Achievement Award, one must make significant contributions to the film industry.
“Yes, I will still choose an actress from Great Xia for my film. I already have a specific person in mind,” Qu Lingyun smiled. “I believe she can win the Glenn Award for Best Actress with this film. Please look forward to our collaboration.”
He didn’t reveal who it was, but almost all the foreign actors in the audience looked crestfallen.
The words “Great Xia” had already excluded them.
All the actors from Great Xia present were of top-tier status, including Tong Luoyun and four other actresses who had won the best actress award.
The five of them were almost overjoyed.
On-site, it could only be one of them.
Tong Luoyun was always confident.
After all, she was the youngest actress in the country to win the three major awards.
But she knew she couldn’t compare to Yun Lan.
Indeed, she had won almost every film award in Great Xia Empire.
But Yun Lan had retired, and now, six years later, Qu Lingyun was making a comeback as a director, proving that her opportunity had arrived.
Tong Luoyun’s heart raced.
What if Qu Lingyun chose her?
Yun Lan was the only one in Great Xia Empire who had won the Glenn Award. If she won it too, she would be unstoppable.
Tong Luoyun couldn’t contain her excitement.
Maybe in a few days, her team would receive a call from Qu Lingyun.
The next segments were the red carpet and other performances, which didn’t interest Si Fuqing.
She left early and returned to the hotel.
At this time, Yu Xiheng was reviewing documents, making annotations as he read.
Si Fuqing approached him, clasping her hands together. “Boss, can I borrow your car keys to go out for a drive? I promise I won’t speed, you can be completely at ease.”
“At ease?” Yu Xiheng looked up, his tone cool, “Seems you’ve forgotten what happened a few days ago.”
Si Fuqing was speechless.
It was just that she hadn’t ridden a motorcycle in a long time, got carried away, and accidentally forgot there was still someone behind her.
Yu Xiheng averted his gaze, his tone indifferent, “Think of a better way to ask.”
Si Fuqing then pleaded, “Brother Nine, can you give me the car keys so I can go out and have some fun?”
“…”
Yu Xiheng paused, nearly tossing his pen aside.
He put down the pen, propped one hand against the wall beside her, and leaned in slightly.
They were very close.
His voice was calm, without much fluctuation, only a slight deepening of his tone, “Who taught you that?”
“Feng San and Xi Jiang call you that,” Si Fuqing gestured, “Brother Nine, I’m also a good employee of yours. I just want to go out for a bit, please, the car keys.”
Yu Xiheng remained silent for a moment, then sighed, “Stop learning from them.”
He still handed her the car keys.
“I healed your leg, and now you use your height to bully me,” Si Fuqing muttered, “You black-hearted monster!”
Yu Xiheng stood up slowly, unhurriedly, “You can bully me in other ways too.”
“Good point,” Si Fuqing successfully took the car keys, “I’ll outsmart you!”
Yu Xiheng pressed his temples, a rare smile appearing, “Your intelligence is high enough.”
“Of course, I’ve tested it, it’s very high,” Si Fuqing was not modest at all, “I’m very smart.”
Yu Xiheng nodded, “Which university are you going to?”
“Great Xia University,” Si Fuqing replied seriously, “Just right to be with Tangtang, and closer to you, so I can protect you.”
“Mhmm,” Yu Xiheng raised an eyebrow subtly, “That’s quite smart.”
**
The 87th Film Festival concluded smoothly, and soon, the media consolidated all the news and released it online.
The announcement that Qu Lingyun would be filming a new movie at the end of the year shook the entire Grat Xia Empire.
[Qu Lingyun would never cast a foreigner as the lead. He has always said he makes films only for Great Xia, and only he can make those foreigners respect him.]
[I guess it’s Tong Luoyun. She showed up at the film festival today!]
[My guess is also Tong Luoyun. She has no rivals in the country anymore, it’s time for her to aim for the Glenn Award.]
[What do you mean she has no rivals? She has been overtaken by Si Fuqing, hasn’t she? The ratings of “Great Zhao Dynasty” don’t prove anything?]
[Laughable, Si Fuqing only has “Crossing the Demon Realm” as a TV show, while Tong Luoyun has dozens of works that remain popular. Longevity is key. Talk when Si Fuqing wins an award.]
[I don’t care, I’m betting on Si Fuqing. She also attended the film festival, and her acting skills are phenomenal. I ask you, who else but her has such acting prowess at nineteen? If Qu Lingyun doesn’t choose her, it’s his loss.]
[Brother, you’re drunk. You should at least eat some peanuts with your drink. Movies are different from TV shows. Many TV queens have failed in films.]
About eighty percent of people guessed it was Tong Luoyun, given she was the most awarded actress currently in the spotlight.
Sang Yanqing, however, thought differently from the netizens.
Si Fuqing had already given her a heads-up.
“Are you going to be in Director Qu’s movie?” Sang Yanqing called, unable to control her excitement, “Are you planning to win the Glenn Award next year?”
Si Fuqing thought for a moment, “According to the process, I guess so?”
Sang Yanqing sighed, “…You didn’t take the art exam. Which university are you going to?”
Si Fuqing replied, “Probably the Great Xia University, Etno University is boring.”
Sang Yanqing was speechless.
What did she mean by Etno University being boring?
The world’s top-ranked university was just ‘boring’ to her?
After the call ended, Si Fuqing received another call from Lu Xingci, “Little prodigy.”
“Hey, Sister Si, there’s news,” Lu Xingci said, “I talked to the old guys at the Intercontinental Research Institute, and they finally agreed to move the international exam to June. The specific date will be announced later.”
“Thanks,” Si Fuqing said lazily, “I’ll treat you to a meal.”
“Sure, sure,” Lu Xingci was very happy. A few seconds later, he awkwardly asked, “Sister Si, I’m fifteen, but I’ve already finished my PhD. Can you introduce a girlfriend to me?”
Si Fuqing said, “… I’m going to hang up.” freewebnσvel.cøm
“Why?!” Lu Xingci was indignant, “Didn’t we meet first? Why do you treat my older brother better than me?”
Si Fuqing was ruthless, “Because your brother is just one of the fishes I used to hook Tangtang.”
Lu Xingci was speechless.
He suddenly felt a bit sorry for his older brother.
Meanwhile, the results of the art exams were also announced.
#SongWenhua, FirstinArtExam
#SongWenhua, GreatXiaFilmAcademy
Song Wenhua’s assistant confirmed that she achieved first place in this year’s art exam.
Entering Great Xia Film Academy was a given; now it was just a matter of her performance in the college entrance exam in June.
Song Wenhua’s public persona was always that of a top student, and being first in the art exam solidified her image.
Many child stars were taking the college entrance exam this year, attracting much attention within the industry.
Many actors’ names appeared on the entertainment charts, with fans celebrating their success.
Soon, netizens noticed that Si Fuqing’s name was missing.
[??? Si Fuqing is also taking the college entrance exam this year, right? Why is there no news about her art exam? Did she do so poorly that she didn’t pass?]
[This… You have no rivals in acting among your peers, already competing with the big stars, but if you don’t even go to college, it’s hard to justify.]
[No news probably means she didn’t even take the art exam. Otherwise, given her popularity, if she didn’t pass, it would have been exposed.]
[Not taking the art exam, not going to Great Xia Film Academy, what other university could she go to? With her poor grades, which university would accept her?]
