Chapter 1302: Chapter 1298: Companions
The Global Gold Awards have been held annually since 1944. The final results are determined by the votes of 96 journalists, and until 2003, the awards banquet was held just a few days before the M Country’s Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences voted for the Oscars.
Once the invitation list was released, Guemov booked his ticket to Los Angeles. He discussed with Jason’s agent about buying tickets on the same day and the same flight.
With Jason accompanying him, Guemov felt more at ease.
As soon as Qiao Xiaren returned to her apartment, she started packing. Yunduo and Annie were helping her. Since she wouldn’t be gone for many days, she packed only a few changes of clothes. With Annie and Yunduo around, Guemov also arranged for a makeup artist and stylist to join, plus a bodyguard, which made him feel much more secure.
Once everything was arranged, Guemov stayed peacefully at Hualian Company. He needed to help Qiao Xiaren with film scheduling and handling various announcements. Although the film "Splendid Beauty" had just wrapped up, there were already numerous announcements and film offers in his inbox, many from major productions and big directors. Despite feeling overwhelmed, Guemov had a strong sense of accomplishment, which fueled his passion for work even more.
Choosing a good film is currently very important for Xiaren.
Quickly, after everything was prepared, staff came to pick her, Yunduo, and Annie up. As soon as they got in the car, Qiao Xiaren saw Jason sitting in the back, seemingly a bit bored, looking at an iPad.
"..."
"..."
When their eyes met, Qiao Xiaren calmly sat next to Jason. The iPad displayed text in English. Qiao Xiaren took a glance and noticed he was reading a philosophical book on film.
"Long time no see, Qiao."
"Long time no see."
Although the two were not very familiar, their interaction was quite natural. Although Jason had a somewhat peculiar temper, he wasn’t the type to put on airs; he simply didn’t like to pretend his nature in front of others.
The two chatted intermittently and soon arrived at the airport.
It’s unclear who released the news, but there were already many fans at the airport. As soon as they got out of the car, fans swarmed towards them. The blinding flashlights were frantically flashing, with paparazzi lurking nearby.
The scene was a bit chaotic; the screams and shouts around them mixed together, deafening.
Jason stood gentlemanly beside Qiao Xiaren, helping ward off some of the frenzied fans. Qiao Xiaren clapped her hands: "Ladies and gentlemen, please make way, don’t crowd."
Qiao Xiaren’s words were always more effective than a bodyguard’s. Jason was stunned to see fans naturally parting to make a path upon hearing Qiao Xiaren’s voice!
"..."
Why did it suddenly feel like being protected by Qiao Xiaren!
Soon, they passed through the VIP channel and smoothly cleared security. Annie had already booked a hotel, and naturally, Jason also booked the same one.
After a few days of rest, the stylists and makeup artists started getting busy, striving to create a look that best suited Qiao Xiaren’s condition, hoping she would shine at the award ceremony. She became famous overnight by achieving the grand slam for best actress, drawing attention from C Country, H Country, and R Country alike!
This year’s Global Gold Awards would probably have the entire audience’s focus on this invincible legend. Entertainment journalists were crazily snapping shots of Qiao Xiaren, who in the cinema world of Europe and America, was truly an incomparably glamorous existence!
