Chapter 308 Heated Discussion Among Netizens

"I think you should be angry too!"

Su Yao nodded, somewhat understanding how that felt.

Lin Ying, who was standing beside them, added, "I think you're being a bit conservative. Trash doesn't have that much empathy. If you replace 'trash' with 'a pile of shit,' that's how these netizens feel."

...

After the three of them returned to the hotel, they began their respective preparations.

Because they were attending the Cannes Film Festival the next day.

Therefore, as invited guests, the three of them needed to wear formal attire.

Su Yao was in the hotel selecting the tuxedo Lu Xuan would wear tomorrow, while Lu Xuan was at the window, talking to Aunt Liu on the phone about company matters.

After they arrived at the Cannes Film Festival, Aunt Liu briefly reported to him on the selection process for *Chinese Paladin*.

Although it wasn't very optimistic, they could temporarily screen out some people and see after the two of them returned from the Cannes Film Festival.

At the same time, Aunt Liu earnestly advised Lu Xuan, "There's something I need to tell you in advance. Prepare yourself mentally."

"Although two films were selected this time, only *Hero* has a real chance of winning."

"The reason *Mr. Vampire* was selected was because its subject matter was too bold and perfectly integrated Chinese legends."

"Based on this background, it was selected for the Cannes Film Festival, but in reality, *Mr. Vampire* is unlikely to win an award as a horror film."

Lu Xuan thought for a moment and said, "I know that, and I've already discussed it with Lin Ying. He's still quite optimistic."

"He thinks it's great to be selected for the Cannes Film Festival and doesn't expect to win any awards at all."

"Now it depends on whether *Hero* can stand out."

Aunt Liu said with a smile, "Actually, I think you should have enough confidence in *Hero*. After all, you directed this film yourself."

"Moreover, *Hero* has a high artistic value. Whether it's its conception or its content, it has reached a new height in the Chinese film industry."

"This height has never been touched by previous films. It contains China's unique sense of national righteousness and the spirit of sacrificing oneself for justice."

"So, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Lu Xuan said with a smile, "Aunt Liu, you're making me a little more confident."

Aunt Liu joked, "If you're confident, shouldn't you prepare your acceptance speech in advance?"

"If I'm not in your acceptance speech, I'll go on strike."

Lu Xuan scratched his head and said, "Isn't it said that the most taboo thing to do before a major event is to jinx it? Aunt Liu, if you jinx it now, we might not win an award."

"Bah, where did that rule come from?"

Lu Xuan, hearing Aunt Liu's unfriendly tone, continued, "Let's just improvise the acceptance speech on the spot. What if we just wander around and I prepared a speech in advance? Wouldn't that be too embarrassing?"

Aunt Liu didn't want to say anything. "Such a work has already surpassed these films. If this isn't your award, then it's a conspiracy!"

"See, I told you that you don't have confidence in your work. You have to buck up."

"I'm telling you, in all these years, I've never seen a movie like *Hero*. It's truly a miracle in film history."

"So, just relax. It's just a nomination."

Lu Xuan wasn't worried about the quality of his film, but about those foreigners playing tricks during the selection process.

But he couldn't tell Aunt Liu about this, so Lu Xuan said a few casual words and hung up the phone.

Su Yao came over and took out two dresses. "Look at these two dresses. Which one do you like better?"

Lu Xuan immediately took a fancy to a Tang-style dress with dark gold patterns.

Low-key, domineering!

But it requires a certain temperament to pull off such clothes.

Without that temperament, it's easy to turn this gorgeous dress into something a tacky young man would wear.

Lu Xuan tried it on briefly and found that the effect was quite good, so he decided on this outfit.

Su Yao chose a pure white dress, which, although without any embellishments, had a simple and elegant feel.

Of course, the most important thing was that it matched Lu Xuan's outfit as a couple's outfit.

After the two of them chose their clothes, they went to bed early.

The next day, the three of them, dressed neatly according to the agreed time, appeared on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival.

As soon as the three of them appeared, the media went crazy, frantically pressing their shutters.

The front of the entire red carpet was immediately shrouded in a burst of daylight.

Some people around who didn't know them curiously asked, "Who are these three people?"

"Why are they attracting so much attention?"

"Several directors who went in earlier weren't this crazy, were they?"

"This is Lu Xuan and Su Yao. You don't even know these two people? Your information is too slow!"

"If you don't have a certain level of acuity, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive in the entertainment industry. They are the two hottest people in the entertainment industry right now."

"Hurry up and take pictures. If your editor-in-chief finds out that you didn't bring back any related manuscripts, they will definitely scold you to death."

"The three of them are now taking two films to the Cannes Film Festival. Do you know what that means?"

"This is the first time! Three Chinese films gathered at the Cannes Film Festival."

At the same time, netizens who were following the Cannes Film Festival online in real-time also began to leave messages.

"These two people standing together are truly a match made in heaven. They look so well-suited together."

"I feel like there's no one more compatible than the two of them."

"Why is Su Yao's life so good? She was actually able to meet Lu Xuan. The love between them is really touching."

"There's no way around it. People's lives are like this. Sometimes, luck just comes, and you can't stop it."

"Like Su Yao, she can meet Lu Xuan, but many people will find that a perfect person like Lu Xuan can't appear in their lives at all."

Netizens swiped their screens, and later, it was all unanimous envy of Su Yao's good luck.

At the same time, they were also speculating whether the two films could successfully win awards this time.

If they could win an award at the Cannes Film Festival, then Xiaoxuanyao Company would rise sharply in the industry!

And Lu Xuan and Lin Ying would also become sought-after directors.

Their net worth would also double during this film festival.

As for how much it would double, it depended on whether the two of them could win an award.
