Tianguang [entertainment circle]

America, Wall Street.

"Joyson, there's news from Cannes that Ms. Jiang's crew has been nominated by the organizing committee. They will attend the red carpet ceremony of this film festival. Look..."

After reading the document, Qiao Yinshan glanced lightly at Chen beside him.

"We don't have any manpower in Cannes, where did you get the news?"

"It's Mr. Fei."

The pen in his hand stopped slowly, Qiao Yinshan thought for a moment, and continued to write.

"Arrange, we will go to France the day after tomorrow."

"Joyson?" Chen was a little surprised, "If you want to know about Miss Jiang's awards, just arrange for someone else to go. You haven't done anything about Hollywood..."

Qiao Yinshan still immersed himself in writing, and ignored her words.

After all, after working beside Qiao Yinshan for many years, Chen gradually became aware of his boss's displeasure.

It seems that he said something that was not in line with Qiao Yinshan's wishes...Chen didn't dare to say anything, just nodded silently in response, and quietly left the office.

When there was no movement outside the door, Qiao Yin breathed a sigh of relief, put the documents and pen aside, turned on his computer screen and clicked on the mailbox.

No new mail.

The mouse paused on the screen for a moment, and Qiao Yinshan noticed that today's date is already August [-]th.Ten days have passed since the beginning of the month when Jiang Yuan sent the email.

Too.Their contact is also limited to emails at the beginning of each month.She may only receive the news of Jiang Yuan's award in the next month.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to be lucky or sad.

As a mother, she has done so many cruel and excessive things for Jiang Yuan, but she can still communicate with each other by email, maybe she should be lucky.But all their interactions and getting along can only rely on this weak way.If one day Jiang Yuan doesn't want to send emails, the contact between them will be cut off.

In the next few days, Qiao Yinshan worked overtime to reorganize the whole week's work, made appointments with clients who needed to be seen in advance, and dealt with all the important matters at hand, and rushed home the night before the red carpet ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival packaging.

The suitcase is the one she's used to attending so many film festivals and photography competitions over the past decade.

When Qiao Yinshan took off the emerald jade, his gaze stayed on the sticker of the suitcase for a moment.

Every time she packs this suitcase, she will be affected by this sticker.

When Jiang Yuan was four years old, she came back from kindergarten with a certificate for participating in the photography competition for the first time, and a whole page of stickers about various landscapes.

At that time, Xiao Jiangyuan stood in front of Qiao Yinshan with a smile, showing her certificates and prizes, waiting for her praise.

She only touched Xiao Jiang Yuan's head and told her to "keep working hard".

She knew that Jiang Yuan was her child, and in such a long life in the future, Jiang Yuan would definitely and must win countless awards.This is what Jiang Yuan deserves and what she must do as her child.

At that time, I was so proud and arrogant, I didn't know how to take care of a child's heart.

When Xiao Jiangyuan was holding that page of stickers and thinking, Qiao Yinshan would be angry with her for not doing her job properly.

"What are you doing?"

"Mom," Little Jiang Yuan looked up at her, and pointed to the most exquisite and stunning picture on the sticker. "This sticker is the most beautiful. I want to give it to my mother."

That picture is a snow-capped mountain with water flowing down from the top of the mountain, which seems quite interesting.But Qiao Yinshan only took a few glances and didn't pay much attention.

"With this time, it's better to learn art theory from your father."

For so many years, she has forgotten what kind of expression Xiao Jiang Yuan used to look at her at that time, and she didn't know what kind of mood she was holding to leave her sight.

She only knew that during one of her later business trips, Xiao Jiang Yuan quietly put the stickers on the suitcase while she was catching a flight.

In the haste of coming and going, Qiao Yinshan also forgot about this incident.

Until the matter of Qiao Yinna gradually fermented and the whole family fell apart, Qiao Yinshan saw this sticker again when he took his luggage and left to seek revenge.

But she couldn't remember how old Jiang Yuan was.

It is also impossible for her to return to this home and hold her own child again.

Let alone say to a child who doesn't understand anything: "Mom is sorry for you."

All the things that the people who care about are left behind by her. She plunges into the vortex of power with all her heart, and tries her best to send herself to the highest place, to a position with the power to overthrow others.

But there is no way to fill up the guilt and long-term loneliness in her heart.

Occasionally, she would learn about the schools Jiang Yuan went to, the things he experienced, and the competitions he participated in from the news from Fu Yuna who arranged by the old man's side.

Her daughter is still as good as ever.

But... not enough.

If Jiang Yuan wants to be free, not to be controlled and restricted by others, then she must become strong and independent, and become an existence beyond the reach of everyone.

Qiao Yinshan attended every photography competition and short film competition that Jiang Yuan participated in quietly.

She even participated in all the film festivals and exhibitions that Jiang Yingzhou attended in disguise in order to understand the development of Jiang Yingzhou, an old man, and confirm Jiang Yuan's future development direction.

For this reason, she had the idea of ​​breaking into the film and television industry.She hopes that she can lay a safe and fertile ground for Jiang Yuan, so that Jiang Yuan can freely do the film art she wants to do.

Only in this way, Qiao Yinna's tragedy...would not reappear by her side again.

But after so many things happened, Jiang Yuan's growth has deviated from Qiao Yinshan's expectations.

Thinking of this, and looking at the sticker on the suitcase in front of him, Qiao Yinshan sat down beside the bed.The weight of memory always makes people forget to breathe unconsciously.

Will Jiang Yuan surprise her at the red carpet ceremony in Cannes tomorrow...

In the morning, the morning glow burns on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea.

Qiao Yinshan took a special car and arrived at the movie palace before the start of the red carpet ceremony.

While waiting in the seat, the light curtain on the stage is still undergoing final inspection, the host is practicing manuscripts in the background, and everyone in the jury is still checking the final list.

Qiao Yinshan's heart was pounding for no reason.

She cast her eyes on the judging booth several times, trying to hear the names of the judges of different nationalities.

With the countdown to the shady scene in the venue, the music of the ceremony gradually started, resounding throughout the magnificent movie palace.

Qiao Yinshan sat on the seat, and didn't deliberately look back to see those crews entering the arena.

She didn't remember the name of the new film that Jiang Yuan and the others had shortlisted until she heard the "Gold and Silver Wrong" team, and subconsciously turned her head to look at the aisle covered with red carpet.

She saw that Jiang Yuan was wearing a navy blue dress, and she was already looking graceful.On top of the slender figure is a face as indifferent as a snowy field. When those cold eyes that cannot make waves fall on the person, it seems to be able to freeze people——

——This is also the feeling Jiang Yuan gave Qiao Yinshan when he looked at Qiao Yinshan.

Qiao Yinshan turned her head quietly, feeling a little depressed in her heart.

Maybe Jiang Yuan found her, or maybe he didn't.

The current Jiang Yuan is very similar to himself when he was young.It's just that the natural arrogance is missing, and the unscrupulous willingness to sweep everything away is missing.

Jiang Yuan is more about rejecting people thousands of miles away, being indifferent and alienated.Like an ice sculpture that doesn't want to get close to others, people who want to get close to her always subconsciously avoid her.

During the awards presentation process, as Qiao Yinshan expected, Jiang Yuan won the Golden Photography Award.This also means that in the future photography and film circles, Jiang Yuan's status will rise to the upper reaches, with great power and voice.

Obviously she also underestimated the weight of that little girl named Xin Ye in Jiang Yuan's heart.

I underestimated the power of the entire crew.

A crew composed of young people actually won eight nominations and three awards of Golden Photography Award, Best Screenplay Award, and Palme d'Or for Best Film when they participated in the Cannes Film Festival for the first time, making history.

On the second day after the red carpet ceremony, Qiao Yinshan walked into the movie theater with a feeling of indescribable joy or wonder, and watched the entire film "Gold and Silver Wrong" three times.

She is not a professional filmmaker, so she can only figure out Jiang Yuan's progress and advantages bit by bit through repeated watching.

After watching it for the third time, Qiao Yinshan got up and left the theater.

As she walked towards the bathroom, she called Chen.

"What time is the flight?... Then I will be picked up at the gate of the movie palace in four or 10 minutes. My luggage is at the hotel. Remember to take it away in advance."

Looking up, a little girl with curly hair and white skirt was washing her hands by the sink.The little girl's hair reached her waist, and her face was fair and supple.Those lively eyes were looking at Qiao Yinshan, as if surprised but cautious.

Xin Ye.

The name flashed across Qiao Yinshan's mind.

Looking at each other from a distance, Qiao Yinshan hung up the phone as if nothing had happened, and went into the bathroom.

However, she was already worried in her heart, what would Jiang Yuan think if Xin Ye told Jiang Yuan that he not only came to Cannes, but also made a special trip to watch their movie in the theater of "Gold and Silver Wrong"?

Qiao Yinshan was extremely embarrassed, just as he closed the door, he came out anxiously and annoyed, and staggered a few steps to the sink.

Xin Ye was still obediently wiping the hand sanitizer.Seeing Qiao Yinshan go in and out within less than ten seconds, he looked at her from the mirror strangely.

Qiao Yinshan straightened his body and washed his hands as if nothing had happened.

"You are Xinye."

Shino nodded.

"Do you know who I am?"

"Yuan Yuan's mother."

"Yes." Qiao Yinshan responded, "I was only invited to watch the award-winning film today. In the future, my film empire will need many young people like you."

Xin Ye laughed out of nowhere, lowered his head and washed the foam off his hands.

"Then...do you like our video?"

"Your?" Qiao Yinshan looked puzzled, but then seemed to remember something, "Is this Beijing opera movie your movie?"

Xin Ye looked at her, smiled again, and nodded slightly.

Qiao Yinshan pondered for a while.

The boast was too obvious, for fear that Xin Ye would turn around and talk nonsense with Jiang Yuan, so let's not boast...and a little tricky, to sweep Palme d'Or's face.

"...At least you have brought Huaguo culture to the international stage, which is worthy of praise."

Xin Ye dried his hands, smiled shyly and gently, and bowed slightly to Qiao Yinshan.

"If Yuan Yuan hears your affirmation, he will be very happy."

Qiao Yinshan turned off the tap and looked at her slowly: "Jiang Yuan... Will she be happy?"

After seeing Xin Ye nodding, Qiao Yinshan felt his brain in a trance.

She hurriedly bid farewell to the little girl with long curly hair, put on sunglasses and a mask, and left to avoid the crowd outside the bathroom.

When passing by the entrance of the movie theater, she glanced at the introduction board outside the movie theater.

["Gold and Silver Wrong" team introduction:

Producers: Mu Yao, Fei Zhengpei

Director: Mu Sanwei

Assistant directors: Ala Lei, Lin Fei

Screenwriter: Xin Ye

First photographer: Jiang Yuan

...]

Such a detailed list deserves group and individual photos of the entire team.

Qiao Yinshan suddenly remembered what he had just said to Xin Ye, and his face flushed with embarrassment.

Really... I didn't even look at the introduction card, so I went straight to "Gold and Silver Wrong", and I still pretended not to know in front of that little girl Xin Ye, I was so ashamed.

Before Qiao Yinshan could recover from the shame, a familiar person walked out of the theater.

Jiang Yuan looked at the time on the phone and looked up to confirm Xin Ye's location.However, when he raised his eyes, he saw the woman standing in front of the introduction board with a strange sense of familiarity.

Masks, sunglasses, sun hats.Dress like this in summer...

Qiao Yinshan noticed Jiang Yuan's gaze, lowered his head slightly, and turned away as if passing by.

Jiang Yuan was only suspicious for a while, then quickly looked away and looked at Xin Ye who came out of the bathroom next to him.

"Why did it take so long?"

"Ah..." Xin Ye looked at the figure who had gone away, and smiled strangely at Jiang Yuan, "I met Yuan Yuan's mother."

"Qiao Yinshan?" Jiang Yuan froze for a moment, and suddenly remembered the person he saw just now in his mind.

"Aren't Yuan Yuan curious about what my mother said to me? For example, did she praise you or something?"

"..."

curious?Nothing... Ever since she was young, Qiao Yinshan had never praised her from the bottom of his heart.It has been eleven or twelve years now, and she has long since given up on Qiao Yinshan's evaluation.

Jiang Yuan took a soothing breath and shook his head: "I don't want to know."

"is it?"

"Let's go." Jiang Yuan took Xin Ye's hand and walked outside the movie palace.

"But Yuan Yuan's mother praised our film very seriously." Xin Ye walked beside Jiang Yuan, looking ahead and talking quietly.

"Really?"

"real!"

Jiang Yuan's brows and eyes were slightly relieved, as if something was quietly relieved.But she didn't show it, she unconsciously relaxed holding Xin Ye's hand, and shook it leisurely a few times.

Xin Ye shook Jiang Yuan's arm, tilted his head and looked at her: "Yuan Yuan seems to be very happy."

"Perhaps." Jiang Yuan did not refute, "This is the first time Qiao Yinshan praised something related to me."

Looking at Jiang Yuan's profile, Xin Ye remembered the details about Qiao Yinshan that he had noticed in the bathroom.

So cramped but pretending to be calm, it is obvious that he is very concerned about Jiang Yuan.

"Yuanyuan... Have you ever thought that your mother actually cares about you?"

Jiang Yuan didn't answer.

"Did you know? Aunt Qiao came to watch our video today. When I told her that you would be happy for her compliment, Aunt Qiao was also very unbelievable. She seems to... also expect you to be happy."

Outside the movie palace, the sky has already darkened.

The fish schools in the sea seem to jump into the dark purple night sky like floating clouds, covered by the sunset glow all over the sky.

A gust of evening wind blows, blowing the sand from the sea, which blinds Jiang Yuan's eyes.

"Yuanyuan, in fact, you both care about each other..."

……

A month later.

[Mu Sanwei: You... who sent the application to Oscar...? 】【Jin Fei:? 】

[A Liu:? 】

【Building Blocks:? ? ?what happened? 】

[Mu Sanwei: The postman delivered a thick English envelope to my house this morning, and it was mailed from Los Angeles.I opened it, and inside were ten invitations to the Academy Awards...] The group chat was filled with countless question marks, exclamation points, and emoticons in an instant.

Jiang Yuan looked at the chat box, and he and Xin Ye both looked at each other.

The first feeling that comes is not the surprise of getting an Oscar invitation, but the strange feeling about the unknown origin of this invitation.

[Jiang Yuan: Is this reasonable? 】

[Xin Ye: You must have been pranked. 】

[Mu Sanwei: No!I specially checked the official seal, it is the real seal of AMPAS, I asked my dad to contact the organizer and said...the invitation letter is for us! ] The chat box was swiped again by the crew members.

"Ask Mr. Fei." Jiang Yuan touched Xin Ye's head and called Fei Zhengpei.

The other end of the phone is talking.

Not long after Jiang Yuan hung up, the call came back quickly.

"Mr. Fei."

"Xiao Jiang, I'm here. I've heard that your work has been shortlisted for the Academy Awards, congratulations."

"Thank you, but this is also where we are very confused. We did not submit a competition application to the Oscars. I wonder if you sent it on your own initiative?"

After all, only the main creative team and the producer will get detailed information about the internal information of "Gold and Silver Wrong".

But Mr. Fei laughed dryly: "How should I put it... I'm an insider, but it wasn't sent by us."

"...Sorry, I don't quite understand?"

"A person contacted me a month ago and asked me for a detailed copy of "Gold and Silver Wrong". Finally, she and I jointly wrote a letter of recommendation, and she sent it to AMPAS in person."

"who's that person?"

"This... I think you should guess for yourself."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yuan went through all the people he knew in his mind.

She deliberately avoided one person and turned to others.Is it Qu Lin?Amber?Is it Jiang Yingzhou and Mu Yao?Or Milan Austin?

It's impossible.Even if the old man wanted to send an Oscar recommendation letter to Jiang Yuan and the others, he wouldn't hide it.And Milan Austin is not so deep friendship.

"Yuan Yuan," Xin Ye pulled Jiang Yuan's clothes and asked her to watch the news on the computer.

On the webpage is the news that Qiao Yinshan signed a cooperation agreement with Hollywood and became an honorary professor at the New York Film Academy.

Another piece of news reported that Qiao Yinshan spent huge sums of money to establish four major film empires in North America, Asia, Oceania, and Europe.

"Yuanyuan! Look here!" Xin Ye pointed to Qiao Yinshan's answer in the interview.

[Reporter: After Ms. Qiao established the film empire, does she have any plans for the next step? 】【Qiao Yinshan: Yes.I am going to invite young people who are attracting attention nowadays to join my film empire. They may be rejected by them, but I sincerely look forward to the day when I can cooperate with such talents. 】【Reporter: I don't know which geniuses are lucky enough to be favored by Ms. Qiao? 】【Qiao Yinshan: I'm sorry, I don't want to reveal it for now.In addition, there is some error in this sentence. Whether I will be lucky enough to be favored by these geniuses is still unknown. I hope you can respect and value these young people who belong to the bright future of the film and television industry. 】【Reporter: Ms. Qiao is really humble, and she has a secret with everyone.Can you tell me a little about it? 】【Qiao Yinshan: Let's put it this way.These young people are the ones who are loved by the Palme d'Or and the Academy Awards. 】Gold Award...

Jiang Yuan quietly looked at the few lines above.

It turned out to be... Qiao Yinshan.

All doubts and shocks set off waves of silence, hitting Jiang Yuan's heart directly.She didn't understand why Qiao Yinshan did this, or was it for profit?

But... there are obviously other candidates.

"Yuan Yuan," Xin Ye handed over Jiang Yuan's mobile phone on the table and put it in Jiang Yuan's palm, "It's been so long, why don't you try talking to your mother?"

Xin Ye's eyes were serious and serious, as if they were comforting or encouraging.

She was pushing Jiang Yuan closer to the "mother" who had disappeared throughout childhood.

Jiang Yuan looked at his palms in a daze.

Oddly enough, she clicked on the page, but didn't scroll through the contacts.

She remembered Qiao Yinshan's phone number before and after the replacement, but she never made a note, because she never dialed.

A string of numbers seemed to be engraved on the screen from the eyes, Jiang Yuan felt that his steps were weightless, and his heartbeat suddenly increased.

Before she dialed out, an incoming call suddenly appeared on the entire screen.

Same as the number you just pressed.

Jiang Yuan looked up at Xin Ye.

Xin Ye frowned, clasped his hands tightly on Jiang Yuan's thighs, seemed more nervous than her.

Jiang Yuan pressed the answer button.

During the call, there was a period of silence between the two parties.

"...Jiang Yuan."

"……exist."

"The invitation is just my birthday present to Xinye in a few days...don't get me wrong."

"Well, yes. Thanks."

"I want to ask you for help... For the sake of my birthday present, do you want to consider joining my movie empire project?"

Hearing that there was no movement from Jiang Yuan's side, Qiao Yinshan unconsciously clenched the hand holding the pen.

Standing on the upper floors of Wall Street's Elite Avenue, she looked at the rolling high-rise buildings outside the window, but the emotions in her heart seemed to be shaking unsteadily at the bottom.

She explained: "Mr. Fei has already agreed to cooperate with me, and it will not affect the contract of your crew. And... your crew has unlimited potential, and it will benefit my career without any harm. My film empire will also provide all your filming needs. What do you think, you don’t have to worry about funding, venues, and manpower... It’s a win-win situation, what do you think?"

Jiang Yuan's side still didn't speak, only the sound of even and slight breathing came.

"Also...provide all members with birthday gifts and holiday gifts every year...paid travel leave, unlimited shooting time and no need to be overworked."

Qiao Yinshan couldn't hold back when he couldn't get a reply from Jiang Yuan.Chen at the side was wiping off his cold sweat, watching his boss pace back and forth, and also became nervous.

"Jiang Yuan, if you have any other demands, please come forward."

Finally, there was movement on the other end of the phone.

"If I promise, how many times a year will you visit the crew?"

Qiao Yinshan was startled.

"Three times? Is it okay?" Jiang Yuan asked proactively.

"... For every filming project, I go back to inspect the team for two weeks."

"Okay." Jiang Yuan's voice was very soft, as if he had received a satisfactory answer, "What about the Chinese New Year?"

"... New Year's Eve, it counts as extra time."

"Will you come back?"

"meeting."

"it is good."

Jiang Yuan chuckled, lowly, as quiet and clear as water flowing from a snow-capped mountain into a deep valley, sweeping away the impatience and sultry heat from Qiao Yinshan's body.

"I promise you, Qiao Yinshan."

Chen listened quietly, watching Qiao Yinshan hanging up the phone slowly and still dazed by the window, he tentatively asked, "Joyson, Miss Jiang...?"

Outside the window, the steamship skimmed over the city, and the sunlight penetrated the dense layer of clouds and cast down, reflecting the entire land.

"Chen."

"I'm here."

"nice weather today."

"Huh?" Chen didn't quite understand what his boss was talking about.

Qiao Yinshan stretched his waist, turned around and looked at her with a long-lost smile on his lips: "Don't you think so?"

Chen understood and nodded: "That's right, today is a good day."

All the truth has been revealed.
