Chapter 239

After the awards ceremony of the Beijing College Student Film Festival ended, the organizing committee also arranged a creative exchange meeting, saying it was set up for academic exchange.

It wasn't mandatory; the guests who came could participate or not.

Actually, this could also be considered a disguised social platform built by the organizing committee, just like the banquet after the Oscar awards.

However, sometimes many guests would contact some people to make an appointment by themselves and not participate in the creative exchange meeting.

With fewer people left, the creative exchange meeting would become a crew meeting, interacting with college students.

After today's awards ceremony ended, the staff arranged for the participating college students to leave in an orderly manner, and the guests in front almost all sat still one by one and didn't leave from the other side.

Zhang Min stood up ready to withdraw, felt that the atmosphere seemed a bit wrong, and hurriedly sat down again, asking Xu Ke in a low voice, "Isn't it already over? Why are very few people leaving?"

"They are all waiting for the exchange meeting later."

Xu Ke said somewhat perfunctorily.

"Is that so? Do we still have to participate in that whatever exchange meeting? Must we participate?" Zhang Min asked with some curiosity.

"It's not mandatory."

Xu Ke was a bit speechless; no wonder you kept shouting about making a comeback, but until now you haven't splashed any water.

Can't you see it? Everyone is waiting for that person's decision; if that person wants to stay and participate in the exchange meeting, it is estimated that most people will stay.

That person is famously low-key; this is a good opportunity to get to know or deepen the relationship.

Staying might not get any opportunities, but leaving would really mean no opportunities.

"Aren't you leaving?"

Zhang Min asked; she really didn't want to stay and participate in any exchange meeting, what was there to exchange? Talk about art with those literary film directors?

Xu Ke indeed didn't plan to participate in the exchange meeting, but leaving at this time would be too conspicuous and would appear a bit maverick.

Although he was called "Xu Laoguai," he wasn't stupid; he was ready to develop here, so he definitely didn't want to leave a bad impression on people; it was too easy to offend people.

"Wait a moment, the students are leaving now; if we leave too, in case a student rushes up to ask for an autograph, it's easy to cause chaos."

Xu Ke didn't want to say more and perfunctorily said messily.

Sigh, with your emotional intelligence, you still want to marry into a wealthy family, still want to force marriage to the Xiang family, really...

It might also be that she was held too high by people and spoiled for too long, so she didn't take the people in the mainland film and television circle to heart, and that's why she was like this.

This was not seeing the situation clearly.

Cao Yang was going to wait for the exchange meeting; this was promised to the old leader.

However, he had a bit of a headache now.

Gao Yuanyuan sat on his right, occasionally fiddling with the Most Popular Actress among College Students trophy in her hand, and said to Cao Yang for a while: "This trophy is quite heavy."

For a while, she said to Li Xiaoran, who was sitting on Cao Yang's left: "Xiaoran, you touch it, this trophy is indeed a bit heavy."

Touch your grandmother's leg!

Li Xiaoran was so angry.

The influence of the College Student Film Festival was just like that; originally, whether she won an award or not had no effect on Li Xiaoran, and she didn't care too much either.

However, Gao Yuanyuan won an award!

If it were the Best Actress selected by the jury, it would be fine; after all, she was nominated for Xiao Gangpao's "A World Without Thieves," which was different from Gao Yuanyuan, and losing to Cao Yang's film was normal.

The key was that this fox spirit Gao Yuanyuan won the Most Popular Actress among College Students award selected by those college students!

This was a comforting award, but from another perspective, it was a competition of pure popularity.

In other words, she lost to the fox spirit in popularity!

This was very uncomfortable.

"Xiaoran, this trophy is really heavy, you'll know if you try it."

Gao Yuanyuan said in a low voice with a smile, and then, as if remembering something, made a sudden realization.

"Oh, right, you haven't won the Most Popular Actress among College Students award, you definitely don't know the feel and weight of the trophy, why don't you try mine?"

Li Xiaoran originally wanted to pretend not to hear and ignore it, but after thinking about it, she turned her head, smiled somewhat gritting her teeth, and said:

"Besides 'Nine-Tailed Fox,' the box office of 'A World Without Thieves' also exceeded 100 million; the box office of the film I starred in is higher than yours."

"My endorsement fee is higher than yours, and the luxury goods I endorse are also more than yours." Gao Yuanyuan also turned her head and retorted with a smile.

"My film salary quote is higher than yours." Li Xiaoran also followed up and retorted.

Although both were international best actresses, Li Xiaoran had two films with box office exceeding 100 million; in this era, let alone exceeding 100 million, even exceeding 20 million was a big sale.

Li Xiaoran had both the Berlin Best Actress award and two films with box office exceeding 100 million, "Nine-Tailed Fox" and "A World Without Thieves," so her film salary quote was indeed a little bit higher than Gao Yuanyuan's.

"I am the first female lead of 'Nine-Tailed Fox,' I am the Most Popular Actress among College Students." Gao Yuanyuan shook the trophy again.

"Heh, some people are afraid they forgot, the Xidu Film Festival held in January, the one nominated for Best Actress was me, not you, this self-proclaimed 'first female lead'." Li Xiaoran retorted.

"Ha, it's really too ridiculous, is it that Xidu Film Festival where the organizing committee raised funds by itself but didn't raise much, there were few participating films, and there were very few stars who went to support? If it weren't for the Film Bureau taking righteous action to help contact stars to attend and calling you, would you go?

Hmph, it was just that I was participating in activities in Shanghai at the time and didn't have time to go; if I had gone, where would you have any business."

Gao Yuanyuan said mocking words, but her face was full of smiles; Li Xiaoran had the same smile, and people who didn't know the truth saw it and thought the two best actresses "good sisters" were communicating friendly.

Cao Yang had a headache from the noise, looked back, and the college students had almost withdrawn.

He stretched out two hands, pushed away the two heads that were smiling and almost together on the left and right, and then stood up and walked to the arranged exchange venue.

"Hmph!"

Gao Yuanyuan smiled and snorted at Li Xiaoran, and got up to follow Cao Yang.

Li Xiaoran also smiled and stood up, walked two steps quickly to catch up with Gao Yuanyuan, grabbed her arm, and snorted in her ear...

"Cao Dao..."

"Cao Dao..."

"Cao Dao..."

!

Cao Yang walked over, and people kept greeting him along the way; the Beijing Film Academy system and other familiar directors and actors consciously got up to join, those who were familiar walked by Cao Yang's side, and those who were not very familiar followed behind.

In a while, the team became mighty.

Xiao Gangpao didn't get up; he seemed to be sitting in his seat leisurely, looking at that big crowd of people, but in fact, he was envious in his heart.

"Director Feng, are we leaving?"

Shou Bing asked in a low voice on the side.

She actually couldn't wait; if it weren't for Xiao Gangpao being next to her, she would have had to join that crowd no matter what.

"Let's go."

Xiao Gangpao stood up slowly and walked to the exchange venue.

At the same time, he couldn't help but look back, and then couldn't help but self-deprecatingly smile; fortunately, no matter what, he was also a great director, and there were still three or five followers.

Well, although most of them were from Huayi.

Zhang Jingchu graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, but because the director of the film she participated in, Zhang Jiarui, was from the Beijing Film Academy, she also "mixed" into the big team.

She looked at the director who was usually serious and dignified, falling one step behind Cao Yang, chatting and laughing with Cao Yang from time to time, and laughing very heartily, almost doubting whether this was still Director Zhang Jiarui.

Then she saw their Central Academy of Drama's top figure Zhang Jizhong walking on Cao Yang's right, occasionally laughing loudly, the kind that was a bit exaggerated, and she had another layer of understanding of Cao Yang in her heart.

Then she noticed Cao Yang's left side; she knew this person, he was the famous director Huang Jianxin, who had won the Golden Rooster Best Director award, graduated from the director department cadre training class of the Beijing Film Academy, and was a classmate of Boss Han of China Film Group.

Zhang Jingchu also saw a detail: no matter who it was, even Zhang Jizhong or Huang Jianxin, they wouldn't walk in front of Cao Yang and intentionally fell half a step behind.

Although she didn't understand the twists and turns in this, she could still see that everyone centered on Cao Yang.

This made her couldn't help but think, if she could get along well with Cao Yang, or even go a step further, would her career and future be smooth?

Then she thought of Li Xiaoran, Gao Yuanyuan, and Yu Feihong; these were all international best actresses who relied on Cao Yang, and now they were all the top actresses in the country.

Adding the international chapter that rose by relying on Old Mouzi, they were called the Four Great Qingyi and were in the first echelon.

Zhang Jingchu knew very well that if she didn't have a great director to support her, even if she found a wealthy gold master, she could at most bring some resources, and wanting to become the first echelon or even the slightly inferior Four Great Huadan was impossible.

A great director!

She couldn't help but look at Cao Yang; such a young, handsome, and supportive great director was rare in the world, or rather, didn't exist at all.

Which actress wouldn't be moved or confused when seeing him!

The exchange meeting was still very casual; the organizing committee provided snacks and water, and there were no restrictions.

Zhang Jingchu really wanted to join Cao Yang's side to get to know him, but she was a bit disappointed; it had been almost half an hour since she entered here, and Cao Yang had been chatting with several famous directors.

After waiting for those directors to disperse, Zhang Jingchu aimed for the opportunity and was just about to go up, when someone was one step faster than her; she saw Shou Bing had already followed Xiao Gangpao and joined in.

Bitch!

Zhang Jingchu couldn't help but curse.

She hadn't signed with Huayi yet, but she knew a little about the several big companies in the industry.

Especially for Huayi, because she really wanted to sign with Huayi before, Huayi's resources were obvious to all, and it had some connection with Hollywood, and at the same time, it had a very good relationship with Xiangjiang.

However, after understanding, she was a bit disappointed.

Before, Huayi intended to support the two Bing, but because Pang Bing was disobedient, it was said that she was unwilling to participate in social engagements and didn't want to accompany guests, so she was "banned" by Huayi and it was difficult to get resources.

Such a company really made people a bit worried.

She first moved closer to Cao Yang's side and found a suitable distance so that it wouldn't appear too rude.

Zhang Jingchu planned to wait for Xiao Gangpao and Shou Bing to leave, and she would rush over first.
