Chapter 521
a young age, he feared and obeyed Miao Yao. This brother occasionally played pranks but was genuinely good to him, even taking bullets meant for him. How could such a brother be anything other than am...Chapter 521
It had been a long time since there was such a well-received film. This was the most anticipated movie of the New Year's Film Series, even former acquaintances in the industry sent her congratulatory emails.
She changed her phone number; only a few close friends knew about it, but her email address remained the same. She received many congratulatory letters every day.
She vaguely realized that "Lady Hongyu" had become a milestone work for this stage of her career.
Her status in the domestic film industry was now firmly established.
The domestic film festivals would likely see her as a double award-winning actress.
A month after its release, the box office revenue had already exceeded 200 million yuan. Although it wasn't the most commercially successful New Year's movie of the year, it was certainly the one that received the most acclaim and maintained its popularity over time.
When Warmth received news that Lin Ning had submitted this film to compete for Best Film at Cannes Film Festival, she knew a nomination was practically assured, but whether or not she could win an award remained uncertain.
Mosai privately hinted that her luck wasn't as good this year. Although "Lady Hongyu" stood out and caused a sensation when it premiered in Europe and North America, several countries such as Italy and France had also submitted highly accomplished films to the competition. This was an especially competitive year for Cannes, with many high-quality works being nominated.
Getting a nomination would be easy but winning an award remained uncertain.
With so much competition, it was unclear who would ultimately prevail.
Moxiao Bai just told Warmth that once the film is aired, she doesn't need to worry about anything else. Winning an award would be great, but even if she doesn’t win, being nominated is already a great honor.
A few films domestically have managed to get nominations for Best Film at Cannes.
Although Lin Ning was the main creator of the work, Warmth was still the lead actress and an incredibly weighty role.
After she recovered from her injury, she waited for Michael to recover as well so they could finish filming the music video. Then it would be back to studying and preparing for the American TV drama shooting, while eagerly awaiting news from City A.
The movie was becoming more and more sensational; even in America, she could feel its impact.
Audiences are a strange group of people. When she was down on her luck before, they criticized her all at once, yet now they praise her enthusiastically as if to forget everything bad about her that had happened in the past.
Although domestic newspapers have been rehashing her old news these days, there are very few unclean or negative words now.
The media always writes with a pen; performers must be careful not to cross them.
She was popular again.
For her, fame and wealth were no longer as important. What mattered more to her now was leaving behind some beautiful memories while she is still alive, so that others would remember this person who had once existed and the efforts she had put in.
It's nearing year-end again.
True.
This year, she won't be returning to City A for the New Year. This might be the first time she isn't celebrating it there. She had informed her in-laws earlier about her plans. Wen Jian said that as soon as winter break starts this year, she will go to stay at a friend's house in Britain who invited her over. Since the beginning of the winter break, Wen Jian has been preparing for her trip, and her in-laws agreed with it.
The child is still young; parents would be happy if their child can see more of the world.
However, not having both daughters around during the New Year might make them feel lonely. When Wen Jian talked to her parents on the phone, she suggested they take advantage of the holiday season and travel somewhere fun.
The success of "Liang Hongyu" has significantly benefited her career in America. She is currently working on an American TV series that falls under drama genre, and details of their collaboration are being finalized. Once she returns from the New Year's break, they will start filming.
Long Chengtian wanted to spend the New Year with Wen Jian, and her parents-in-law also wished to meet her. From what Long Chengtian mentioned, it seemed that he intended to discuss their marriage arrangements. In his parents' eyes, she and Du Di were meant for each other, and they did not mind that she had been married before.
Wen Jian found this situation awkward. Long Chengtian said, "Du Di is a man you can entrust your life to. Are you unsatisfied with him"
"Brother, Du Di and I are just friends. Please don't insist on something that's one-sided, as it makes me very uncomfortable. I might as well avoid seeing him altogether so you stop thinking about marrying me off to him."
"Du Di is truly a good man. Brother has known him for over twenty years. He knows what kind of person Du Di is and wouldn't let anything bad happen to you." Long Chengtian genuinely believed that Wen Jian and Du Di were a match made in heaven.
Their backgrounds matched, as did their personalities.
Most importantly, Du Di deeply loved her. He valued this fact; with Du Di taking care of her, he would be very at ease.
As for Ye Feimo, Long Chengtian didn't even consider him an option. He firmly believed that a man who would push his wife down the stairs was not worth trusting or relying on.
Wen Jian replied, "Brother, there are plenty of good women among the nurses in this hospital. There are also many people who like her based on her own talent and conditions. Has Brother married them all"
Warm used her sharp tongue to silence Long Chengtian.
"You brat, I was worried about you, but instead, you're teasing me." Long Chengtian pretended to pinch her.
Warm laughed and dodged him.
Her father had bought a small villa near her school for her to live in. Although Long Chengtian could stay at a hotel without any worries, Warm asked him to stay with her instead.
There were three guest rooms, one of which she was happy to offer to Long Chengtian since it felt a bit too spacious for just her. The siblings could keep each other company this way.
If he didn't want to leave and only wanted to stay here with her, Warm wouldn't be difficult.
But seeing him frequently staring at his phone made her want to laugh.
Wu Shuang hadn't called for a while. She seemed to have vanished somewhere in Egypt after playing around in France recently. Long Chengtian had people tracking her movements, but he was unable to find out anything more than that.
Warm really envied Wu Shuang's ability to travel so freely without any worries. Warm herself had too many work preparations and studies to worry about. In fact, with her wealth, the background of her family, and now a valuable brother by her side, she could live a life traveling around the world without working for the rest of her life. But that wasn't what Warm aspired to.
People's personalities were different. Her talent lay in acting, so she didn't want to waste it.
"Brother, you helped me turn down Mr. and Mrs. Du; I don't want to meet them," said Warm. "Let's talk about this later. Honestly, I have no idea what to say to them besides feeling awkward."
"They're very kind people."r of his lips, barely touching before pulling away quickly; so fast that others could not see clearly. He smiled as he walked in and waved dismissively behind him, ignoring Mo Yao standing dumbfounded...
