Chapter 664 - 664 All Nominated
664 All Nominated
“Song Ci, the list of nominees for this year’s International Film Festival is out.” Qian Wu’s voice was trembling.
“And? Did we get it?” Song Ci was very concerned.
“Mm… Yes.” Qian Wu nodded in a daze.
“For which awards?” Song Ci asked curiously. Were they the Best Director and Best Actress awards? She did not change his direction, right?
“Well…” Qian Wu hesitated.
Song Ci could not help but urge him. “Which one is it? Come on. Tell me.”
“You were nominated for the Best Female Lead.”
Song Ci heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Best Female Lead award was secured for the time being. “Is there more? Just this one?”
“And me for Best Director.”
Song Ci was even more at ease now. She leaned back in her chair and relaxed. That was great. Qian Wu’s Best Director Award did not have a butterfly effect because of her. Everything was still there.
Qian Wu added, “Chu Yi for Best Supporting Actor as well.”
Song Ci was confused. Why was there another nomination? Best Supporting Actor? There was no such nomination in the original book. However, on second thought, Chu Yi was the future Best Actor. It was normal for him to be nominated for Best Supporting Actor. It was not that she rejected the original actor for this role, but compared to Chu Yi, he really was lacking.
Qian Wu continued, “There’s also Best Screenwriter Award for me and Shi Mingyu.”
Song Ci stood up. There did not seem to be such a thing in the original book.
Qian Wu was still talking. “Lastly, there’s also Best Cinematography.”
Song Ci did not know what to say. Good Lord, there were quite a few nominations! There was not a single one missed.
“Amazing, Director Qian,” Song Ci praised.
Qian Wu finally recovered and returned to his usual self. On the other end of the phone, he could not help but laugh. “I can’t believe we received so many nominations. The judges really have good taste.”
Song Ci laughed.
Qian Wu was still jabbering on. “Let’s set off together in a month. By then, I’ll hire 200 reporters to give us full coverage and filming. I’ll write about Qian Wu, the birth of a genius director.” At this moment, he had even thought of his own epitaph — a great and talented director.
Song Ci was amused by his happy expression and cooperated, “When the time comes, I’ll get Brother Yang to prepare in advance and buy you 200 trending topics to flatter you from different angles.”
“There’s no need for that. Two is enough. Otherwise, everyone will be annoyed.” Qian Wu humbled down again.
Song Ci smiled and said, “How could that be? The great director Qian is so handsome and talented. How can anyone be upset when all they can think about when they see you is how perfect you are?”
Qian Wu could not help but chuckle. “Don’t flatter me. I’m easily proud.”
“How can I when I’m speaking the truth?” Song Ci said with a smile.
Qian Wu chatted with Song Ci for a while longer before reluctantly hanging up the phone. He then went to look for Shi Mingyu and Chu Yi to discuss the nomination.
Chu Yi did not expect a movie he casually acted in would be nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the International Film Festival. He hung up the phone in surprise. It seemed he was quite fated to be Best Supporting Actor.
Lu Gan thought so too. Of course, he was thinking about Song Ci now. Even though he had joked with Song Ci when they were married, “If Sunshine Media had a Best Actress, you would definitely be the first.” However, now, Song Ci was only one step away from becoming Best Actress, and he did not want her to feel too pressured.
Only Song Ci herself felt the pressure. She knew that to win an award in the film and television industry, one needed the right time, place, and people. Even so, she still wanted to win an award, as she was not the only one who was at stake for this award! In fact, it was already a great honor and recognition for her to be nominated for the International Film Festival for her second film. Even if she did not win an award, it was enough for her to have better development in the film industry.
However, this was related to Qian Wu. She did not want his future to be damaged. Otherwise, she would have changed Qian Wu’s life. She also knew she had already tried her best, and there was nothing she could perfect now. All she could do was wait quietly for the results.
Song Ci’s mood was not very calm. She waited and waited. Finally, the list of nominees was revealed in June, and the awards ceremony was to be held in July.
Song Ci packed her things and left the country with Qian Wu, Chu Yi, and Shi Mingyu.
Before she left, Lu Gan cheered her on. “I believe that you’ll get the award this time. Even if you don’t, you will always be Best Actress in my heart.”
