Chapter 29 Shanghai International Film Festival

Chapter 1 "I just tried it out, didn't expect to actually get selected."

Li Hao's surprised voice came from the phone.

He had submitted "Goodbye Mr. Loser" for consideration when the movie was released.

Originally, he thought there was no harm in submitting, but he didn't expect to actually be selected.

"A nomination for Best Screenplay!"

"If you get selected, Xuan'er, you'll take off!"

"Should we go to the ceremony?"

"Of course, we should go, but it's just a nomination."

"Besides, if we really get selected, Gun'er, your contribution will be the greatest."

Lu Xuan smiled.

"Hey, it's all the same whether you or I win!"

"Oh, right, how's that script for the medicine god movie you mentioned to me last time?"

Li Hao remembered the new script Lu Xuan had mentioned at their dinner.

The success of "Goodbye Mr. Loser" had given Li Hao confidence.

But he still needed a success to prove that he wasn't the good-for-nothing his grandfather thought he was.

Lu Xuan also wanted to talk to Li Hao about the filming of the new script.

So, they decided to go to the film festival together and discuss it in detail.

"It'll be faster to chat in person."

"Alright, then I'll go tell Wang Shishi and the others."

When the people in their small group learned that the movie had been nominated, they were all very excited.

Although it had nothing to do with them, they felt honored.

"The movie I starred in won an award, so rounding it up, doesn't that mean I won an award? Haha!"

Ma Lisu sent a voice message, laughing heartily.

Listening to her laughter, Lu Xuan also laughed.

"Everyone, remember to come, dress formally, and broaden your horizons."

"Yes, Teacher Lu!"

"Senior, I will definitely go."

After notifying everyone who needed to be notified, Lu Xuan found Su Yao and told her the news.

Su Yao was a little surprised: "You were invited too?"

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

Aunt Liu took out the invitation letter that the film festival had sent to Su Yao: "Yao Yao was notified to go to the Shanghai Film Festival, saying she was nominated, but they didn't say what she was nominated for."

"It should be Best Actress."

Lu Xuan mused.

Su Yao's role in "Immortal Demon Romance" was the female lead.

Looking at Su Yao, Lu Xuan hesitated and asked, "Are you going?"

He was worried that Su Yao hadn't moved on yet.

Su Yao saw the concern in Lu Xuan's eyes, took a deep breath, and smiled.

"Yes! Why wouldn't I go!"

"If I don't go, won't those people look down on me?"

"Besides, I'm not interested in any nomination for 'Immortal Demon Romance.' I'm mainly going to accompany you."

Even if she really won an award, Su Yao wouldn't go on stage to accept it.

She was extremely disgusted with everything about Shenghua.

"Alright, then let's go together."

Since Su Yao had said so, Lu Xuan wouldn't refuse.

In the following days, Lu Xuan was working on the new script.

Although the system had rewarded him with a perfect detailed version, some small details still needed to be changed.

Such as the names of the drugs and the disease.

These had to be changed to names that fit the reality of this world.

Lu Xuan spent the rest of his time teaching Su Yao how to sing.

To be precise, Su Yao pestered Lu Xuan to teach her.

Since the small success of her first song, Su Yao had become obsessed with the sense of accomplishment from singing.

It made her feel even more excited than when she starred in a movie that grossed over a hundred million at the box office.

So, as soon as she saw that Lu Xuan was free, Su Yao would come to his door with her guitar.

"Lu Xuan, teach me how to sing?"

"Lu Xuan, how should I sing this part?"

"Lu Xuan~~"

Lu Xuan: "......"

He was starting to regret it, what should he do?

If he had known this would happen, he should have just let Su Yao be a happy internet addict.

But Lu Xuan still taught her with tears in his eyes, since it was his own fault.

The relationship between the two also increased day by day during this time together.

Soon, the opening of the Shanghai Film Festival arrived.

Lu Xuan, Li Hao, Su Yao, and Aunt Liu attended in full dress.

After walking the red carpet in a low-key manner, they met with Ma Lisu and others in the lobby.

"Wow! Teacher Lu, you and Sister Yao look so good together!"

Ma Lisu's eyes lit up when she saw Lu Xuan and Su Yao.

Her loud voice instantly attracted the attention of the people around them.

"That's... Lu Xuan?"

"He looks pretty handsome!"

Many beautiful women couldn't help but have their eyes lit up after seeing Lu Xuan.

After some grooming, Lu Xuan now looked more like an actor than a director.

Standing there tall and straight, the aura he exuded also attracted frequent glances.

What a handsome young man!

And Su Yao, who was beside Lu Xuan, attracted even more fiery gazes.

Even though her reputation wasn't good, it didn't stop her from exuding an amazing charm!

Su Yao, who had been carefully dressed, was a stark contrast to her usual self.

Her whole person, from the inside out, exuded an indescribable beauty.

Her skin was milky white, her face was without makeup, like the morning glow reflecting snow!

Her beautiful black hair was tied into a high bun, and the occasional gaze she cast at Lu Xuan contained autumn water in her eyes, yet it was as clear as a spring.

The vermilion lips beneath her pearly white teeth and starry eyes sparked endless beautiful fantasies!

Especially when she stood with Lu Xuan, they looked even more like a match made in heaven.

Like a perfect pair!

Immediately, the gazes cast at Lu Xuan contained more hostility.

"I'll sit with you."

Su Yao ignored these gazes, gently took Lu Xuan's arm, and didn't even look at the seat with her name on it in the front row.

Because next to it was someone from Shenghua Entertainment.

"Okay."

Being held by Su Yao, even Lu Xuan, who was usually very composed, couldn't help but feel a little flustered at this moment.

There was no way around it, Su Yao was too beautiful today!

At a large event like the film festival, she even had a bit of an aura that overshadowed everyone else.

Lu Xuan and the others arrived at their seats and sat down.

The seats were a bit further back, so the arrangements weren't as detailed.

However, Lu Xuan could see some things from the seat he had been assigned.

"A long way to go!"

Lu Xuan silently withdrew his gaze after looking at the famous figures in the front row.

Li Hao was sitting on his left, and Su Yao and Aunt Liu were on his right.

The other young actors sat around them, like stars surrounding the moon.

After Lu Xuan and the others sat down, the gazes around them gradually disappeared.

Just as the actors were curiously observing their surroundings, a commotion came from the front row.

"What's going on?"

Several people looked up.

At the entrance, a group of people was slowly walking in.

Su Yao's eyes narrowed, staring intently at one of them, her teeth biting down on her lip.

"Tang Qiansheng!"

As if sensing Su Yao's gaze, the man also looked up.

After seeing Su Yao's figure, who had arrived as promised, a smug smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

"So, she really came."
