She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

"I never thought she would take the initiative to show her goodwill to us." After understanding the whole story, Zhang Wenya was also very excited, "That's Martin Kubrick! Last year's Oscar winner Philip Jones became famous because of his movie!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that. After all, Greta doesn't look like a warm-hearted person." Su Lingxi spread his hands. "I think it must be the news that Kelly deliberately released that worked. In any case, we will be Kevin Cowan's business partners in the future. This is a fact."

Zhang Wenya nodded in sudden realization, "That's right, I almost forgot about Kelly's contribution."

"But... we are using Mr. Cowen's name to make friends with these people. Will he use this as an excuse to cause trouble for us after he finds out?"

Zhang Wenya is naturally cautious and will always prepare for the worst no matter what she does.

Hearing her question, Yang Qian chuckled, "Since he can take the initiative to ask Lingxi for help, we can't blame us for using his strength to fight against him. Only in this way can it be considered a fair deal, right?"

In Yang Qian's view, society's excessive advocacy of female independence is actually a huge language trap - so many men rely on their families to buy houses and cars, and rely on help from their parents and sisters, and few people say that they are not independent.

A truly smart woman should learn to leverage power and assess the situation, focusing on her own position while turning everything into something she can use.

Thinking of this, Yang Qian glanced at the expression of the man sitting by the car window.

Fortunately, although Lingxi is prone to being stubborn sometimes, she can still make sense at critical moments.

It is not shameful to borrow strength temporarily. The key lies in the result. As long as the result is good enough, it is worth it.

Just like that, amid the harmonious discussion of the crowd, the limousine slowly stopped in front of the red carpet. Su Lingxi and Yang Qian separated from the others, got out of the car and stood with the other members of the "Dream in Paris" crew, and walked towards the photo area amid the sound of "clicks" from the spotlights.

Although Su Lingxi is the winner of the last Berlin Film Festival, she is only a foreigner after all. If she was not standing next to Selina, most cameras would probably not be so enthusiastic about shooting her.

Su Lingxi was well aware of this and had no intention of posing on the red carpet. She maintained a steady and calm demeanor for the entire three minutes, facing everyone with a smile.

Compared to the opening ceremony, there were obviously fewer crews participating in the closing ceremony, but the atmosphere of secret competition between each other became more and more intense. As soon as he walked into the backstage, Su Lingxi felt the unique atmosphere before the awards were announced.

However, compared to last year's Berlin Film Festival, she is much less nervous now.

Long before coming, Selina had already given everyone in the crew a heads-up: they would definitely not win major awards like the Palme d'Or and Best Director, and the rest would depend on whether they had any hope of winning Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Screenplay.

Although Selina didn't say it explicitly, Su Lingxi also heard that among them, her chances of winning the Best Actress award were the lowest.

Therefore, from the beginning, she didn't hold much hope.

But when the award ceremony officially began, Su Lingxi still felt an irresistible sense of nervousness in his heart.

This was her first time attending the awards ceremony in Cannes. She knew better than anyone how much effort she had put into the film "Paris at Night" and how much effort other people in the crew had made for it.

But awards are never given based on how hard you work.

She was equally aware of this.

Taking a deep breath, Su Lingxi turned her head to look at Selina who was sitting next to her - she could see that she seemed a little nervous as well, but she concealed it a little better than her.

Su Lingxi looked at Simon and Joey who were sitting together not far away. Their expressions were obviously stiff.

Yes, in addition to the Best Screenplay, the award they are most likely to win tonight is the Best Actor award, which is closely related to Simon.

Su Lingxi retracted her gaze and turned her attention back to the podium. Selina next to her suddenly whispered, "The Best Actress award will be coming soon."

"nervous?"

Even if she didn't expect it anymore, the moment she heard these words coming out of her mouth, Su Lingxi subconsciously tightened her breathing.

"The Best Actress goes to——"

The award presenter's voice was loud and inspiring, and Su Lingxi unconsciously tightened the armrest of her seat.

"Sandra Master!"

An unfamiliar foreign name echoed in her ears. Su Lingxi faced the camera, skillfully forced a smile, and applauded the lucky man with others.

There was clearly no trace of loss on her face, but Selina could sense her loneliness.

"It's just a small setback. Don't take it to heart." Selina approached her and whispered, "I know your abilities better than anyone else. Believe me, one day, the applause here will ring out for you alone."

Hearing her words, Su Lingxi was stunned at first, and then laughed, "Thank you, Mia, I have always believed so firmly."

When she said this, her eyes were bright and firm.

Like a newly sharpened sword.

She was exactly the same as when Selina first met her, even more sharp.

For the first time, Selina admired the mentality of this foreign girl.

The award ceremony went on very quickly. After the Best Actor award went to a Japanese actor, the progress moved on to the Best Screenplay award.

When the presenter on the stage called out the words "Mia Selina", everyone in the "Paris Dreams" crew couldn't help but stand up and exclaimed.

Less than three years after Selina won the Best Director award, Cannes gave her the Best Screenplay award. It is no exaggeration to say that she is a natural darling of the Cannes Film Festival.

Although they did not win the award, it was at least a recognition of their film by Cannes.

Su Lingxi was very happy that her nearly four months of hard work was recognized by an authoritative organization, even though she did not win the Best Actress award.

Selina, on the other hand, pretended to be calm before the winner was announced. After receiving the award, she even picked up a large director's stand, put on her sunglasses, and walked onto the stage to give her acceptance speech, as calmly as if she was just going for a walk.

"In the beginning, the inspiration for this script actually came from an experience I had..."

Although Su Lingxi knew that Selina's behavior was just to make her image as a taciturn director more popular, many people in the audience were attracted by her style and thought that her free and cool spirit was particularly charming, and the applause for her was particularly enthusiastic.
