Entertainment News Headlines Chapter 678

678 The ending

“Ruying, look over there.” A woman said softly. She pointed through the floor-to-ceiling glass window of the coffee shop to a huge TV wall in the square opposite. At this time, a trailer of a movie was playing in the middle of the advertisement.

It was a silhouette of a woman with long hair that reached her waist and a long dress that reached the ground. Half of her side profile was like jade under the candlelight. The candlelight was white and the edges were beautiful, giving off a blurred feeling.

A teardrop rolled down her cheek and finally hung on her chin. It reflected a rainbow luster and instantly attracted the passersby.

Under the TV wall, many people stopped to watch. In this short clip, the acting skills advanced layer by layer until the tear fell on the letter and spread.

The scene changed, and the male lead played by cui Xing rushed over. The letter in his hand gradually turned into golden powder and dissipated.

A trailer that was about 20 seconds long, even without any sound, was enough to capture people's attention.

is this Jiang SE's new movie? ”

The woman called ‘ru Ying' asked. The woman who spoke earlier said, ” yes, this is Jiang SE's newly released ‘immortal encounter'. It's just been released and there's a lot of discussion about it online. Most of her works have a good reputation and reviews, and this year she won the ‘Best Actress' at the France Film Festival. This ‘immortal encounter' has received many good reviews since it was just released.” The woman paused and lowered her head to take a sip of coffee. I've watched ‘suspect' before. It's a collaboration with Tao cen. Unfortunately, you were pregnant at that time and your health wasn't good. You had been recuperating in bed, so I missed it. Why don't we go and watch ‘Immortal Destiny' this afternoon? the trailer will be very interesting.

‘Ru Ying' responded, and the two of them paid the bill before leaving.

In another corner of the cafe, Lin xiwen and Jiang se had agreed to meet there as well. Coincidentally, she was sitting at the table next to the two women and overheard their discussion.

A decorative Christmas tree in the store blocked the two of them from view. The two women who had been talking to each other did not notice that Jiang se, who they had been talking about, was just next door.

‘immortal encounter' has already been registered for the Huaxia International Film Festival.

Half a month after the movie “immortal encounter” was released, the box office had already exceeded two billion Yuan. While Lin xiwen's previous films had not been doing well at the box office, the movie's box office was almost entirely due to Jiang SE's personal appeal.

This was Lin xiwen's second film after “events of Beiping” that received praise and box office sales. He had the intention to use this film to win a trophy at the Huaxia International Film Festival and add another achievement to his resume.

At this moment, Lin xiwen's dejection from a few years ago had been swept away. The success of “immortal encounter” would undoubtedly once again establish his position in this circle.

Jiang se had worked with him twice, and both times, she had reaped great benefits. This made Lin xiwen feel an extraordinary sense of gratitude toward her, especially when she agreed to take on “immortal encounter “. It happened to be when she was at her peak and he was at the bottom of his career.

At that time, everyone avoided him like the plague, afraid that his reputation would affect the box office. Only Jiang se remembered their past relationship and accepted the film after reading the script.

The current success of “immortal encounter” was almost entirely due to her fame and strength. Because of her outstanding box office performance, many investors who were unwilling to invest in his movies in the past for fear of losses took the initiative to contact him and discuss the shooting of their next movie.

“Sese, thank you.” Lin xiwen did not expect that this girl, who had been introduced to him by Gu Jiaer back then, would bring him so many surprises a few years later.”I won't say much, but if you need my help in the future, just let me know! In the future, I'll leave all the good scripts for you and wait for you to choose first.”

This circle wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. There were many friends who ate and drank, but it was rare to have a deep friendship.

director Lin, you're being too polite, ” Jiang se said. if it weren't for your support back then, I might not be where I am today.

She was a person who knew how to be grateful. Lin xiwen knew very well that although ‘doukou' in ” Beiping event ” had made her stand out, it was also because of her participation that ‘doukou' seemed to have been injected with a soul. After so many years, many fans still reminisced about it.

At the end of September, ” destiny ” was finally out of theaters with a box office gross of 2.8 billion Yuan. This figure represented Jiang SE's huge influence and appeal in the box office. There were many factors that contributed to the success of ” destiny “. Other than Jiang SE's elevated acting skills that enriched the characters and increased the movie's viewership, which allowed her to improve the quality of the entire movie by herself, there was also the fact that Jiang se had won the award for ” Best Actress ” at the France Film Festival, her grand wedding a long time ago, and how she had married into a prestigious family like the PEI family. The previous year,”God's salvation” received a great deal of attention.

Regardless, the box office of the movie, which Jiang se had taken on the leading role for the first time, had far exceeded the movie that Tao cen had taken on.

Jiang se had become the country's number one female star. She deserved it. There was no longer any dispute about it.

At the Huaxia International Film Festival in December, the media live-streamed the event.

Many of Jiang SE's fans had already heard that she would be attending the film festival. They arrived early and surrounded the venue.

The organizers had to temporarily transfer more security guards to maintain order at the scene.

The celebrities walked down the red carpet one by one. The venue was full of stars and the celebrities displayed their charm.

Jiang SE's car was parked at the side. There were many security guards on both sides of the car. Xia Chaoqun had left the country a month ago to help Jiang se expand her territory. She had left the domestic business to mo Anqi.

Mo Anqi was not in the car at the moment. She was communicating with the organizers of the Huaxia International Film Festival. Chen Shan's two assistants, the makeup artist, the stylist, and other staff were in the car to accompany Jiang se.

Chen Shan looked out of the car window. There were many fans standing on both sides of the red carpet. They had rushed over from other places after hearing the news. Many of them were holding up light signs with Jiang SE's name on them as they waited for her to appear.

“The organizers arranged for us to be the last to appear.”

The assistant had long since memorized Jiang SE's schedule. She glanced at the time.

“Sister Anqi said there's still about half an hour left.”

There were quite a number of celebrities on the red carpet that night, and there were also many people on the red carpet. Many crew members who had brought their works walked on the red carpet at the same time and stopped in twos and threes to let the reporters on both sides shoot.

Yu Zilin from Huaxia information looked at the time. They had been shooting for more than half an hour and had captured many celebrities. She asked her colleague, ”

“How long will it take to walk the red carpet?” She was a little puzzled.

didn't you say that Jiang se will be attending tonight? ”

The colleague was puzzled as well. Jiang se should be coming. I've confirmed with century Galaxy and sent a message to her assistant. According to the schedule sent by the organizer, the red carpet show starts at 7 p.m. And should end at 8:30 p.m. The colleague looked around. The scene was packed with people. In the distance, the celebrities ‘cars were heavily guarded. He could not tell which car was Jiang SE's.

but when we arrived at the venue tonight, didn't the organizers give us a last-minute notice to bring forward the red carpet time by half an hour? ”

It was already 7:45. According to the original schedule, the red carpet should have ended at 8:00 p.m. Since it was supposed to end at 8:30 p.m. Half an hour earlier.

There was still a quarter of an hour before eight. No matter what, even if Jiang se had not walked the red carpet, she should not have taken so long to appear.

I heard that some of the fans who came for Jiang se are rather anxious. Someone tried to contact the organizers to ask for more details.

While Yu Zilin and her colleagues from Huaxia information were whispering to each other about this matter, the security guards on the red carpet were already preparing to clear people out.

Such a scene was beyond everyone's expectations. Most of the celebrities had already entered the venue. However, Jiang se, who had attracted the most attention at the Huaxia International Film Festival, had yet to appear. Was it not a little too early for the security guards to clear her out at this time?

Yu Zilin's eyes were wide open. She was surprised by the situation. Some people couldn't help but ask the organizers for an explanation, but they were all rejected.

Some of the fans were furious. Jiang se had not arrived yet, but judging from the atmosphere, it seemed like the red carpet of the Huaxia International Film Festival no longer allowed celebrities to stay on it. A few of the celebrities who did not leave and waited for their Studios, reporters, and media to take pictures were politely invited into the hall by the security guards.

“What's going on?”

“Is Jiang se coming tonight?”

Jiang se hasn't arrived yet. Is the red carpet scene over? ”

“Shouldn't the organizers give us an explanation?”

“……”

The scene was very noisy, and everyone was very puzzled. Chen Shan, who was in the car, couldn't sit still and kept looking out.

Soon, there was no one on the red carpet. The staff adjusted the red carpet's position. The long red carpet extended from the hall down the many steps until it reached the side of Jiang SE's car.

Those who saw this scene vaguely understood the organizer's plan. At the location of Dragon travel Studios, the newbie reporters who came with Tao cen kept screaming in low voices, ”

“No way, no way!”

The Huaxia International Film Festival had been around for nearly 50 years. When it was held, there would be groups of celebrities on the red carpet, and it was a scene that everyone was familiar with.

However, the organizers clearing the red carpet and leaving a spot for one person was something that had never happened since the Huaxia International Film Festival was held!

Yu Zilin was excited. When Jiang SE's fans saw this scene, they were also extremely nervous.

The crowd waited anxiously. At around 8:25 am, everything was finally ready. In the car, Jiang se had already touched up her makeup. Mo Anqi helped her adjust her skirt. The organizer's staff prompted Jiang se to alight from the car.

Chen Shan opened the car door. Everyone's eyes were on Chen Shan. When they saw him, those who were familiar with the faces of the staff members around Jiang se burst out in excited shrieks and applause to welcome Jiang se in the car!

On the news broadcast page of Dragon travel Studios, Tao Tao's cheeks were flushed with excitement as she held the microphone. Due to the enthusiastic calls from the fans, she had to raise her voice during the broadcast.

right now, behind me is a red carpet set up by the Huaxia International Film Festival. It was laid directly from the square to the venue of the award ceremony, with a length of nearly 50 meters. The floor on both sides of the red carpet was made of ceramic tiles, which formed the shape of stars, representing the ‘Walk of Stars' that celebrities walked on.

this red carpet has always been walked by the celebrities who are participating in the Huaxia International Film Festival. However, as you can see, there are no other celebrities on this red carpet! Her voice was a little excited, as if she was holding back her joy.

Jiang se will be walking toward the award ceremony from here later. The organizers have cleared the red carpet for her so that she can walk on her own. This is the first and only treatment the Huaxia International Film Festival has received since it was held!

In France, Tao cen, who had just finished his work, took out his phone and went online during his break. He saw the news that occupied the front pages of all the entertainment media in the country:

The Chinese film Festival cleared the venue for Jiang se. The 100-meter red carpet could only accommodate the ‘Best Actress'!

The Chinese film Festival cleared the venue for Jiang se. After ” a Grand occasion in Beiping “, Jiang se won the Best Female Lead Award with ” immortal encounter “!

This was the first time in the 50 years since the Chinese film Festival was established that only Jiang Seyi was on the red carpet.

Jiang se was dressed in a Pearl-colored long dress. She had a graceful figure and a cold temperament. She was a unique sight on the red carpet. Under the flashes, her smile was captured by the camera.

This was the unique treatment that the Huaxia International Film Festival had given her to show their respect for her!

The assistant, who was holding a towel and a water bottle, also saw this scene from the corner of his eye and was extremely shocked.

Although he knew about Jiang SE's current status in the country, he still took a long time to recover from his shock when he saw this rare scene.

The assistant was afraid that Tao cen would feel stifled, so he tried to console her. However, Tao cen lowered his head and clicked on a video recording. Jiang se was standing on the podium of the Huaxia International Film Festival with the ‘Best Female Lead' award in her arms. The host smiled and asked her, ”

“At this moment, Sese has won the title of ‘Best Actress', so she naturally deserves it. In our hearts, you're the idol of many of us here, and your performance has made us all your loyal fans. In our hearts, every character you've created and your hard work are worthy of our admiration. Then, I'd like to ask on behalf of everyone, in your heart, is there anyone or anything worth learning from?”

Such a segment was nothing new. Most people's answers were nothing more than thanking their teachers for discovering them, thanking their parents for giving them a chance, thanking the director for giving them a chance, or saying the name of an iconic star that had already passed away. It was not wrong, safe, and appropriate. Tao cen had also walked down this path before. In this industry, everyone looked down on each other. How could they really say that there was someone ‘worthy of admiration'?

Tao cen smiled. Just as she was about to return the phone to her assistant, Jiang se picked up the microphone and pondered for a moment.

“There are too many people and things worth learning. There's no end to learning.” After she said this, she paused. The emcee then asked, ” “Then can you give me an example?”

“Senior Tao cen,”

She uttered a name that shocked everyone present. Even Tao cen was stunned. He retracted his hand and looked at Jiang SE's screen.

The camera pointed at the emcee. She was also stunned. Clearly, she did not expect such an answer from Jiang se.

“She is someone I respect a lot. She taught me to be humble.”

Tao cen's assistant clearly did not expect to hear such words from Jiang se. He subconsciously looked down. In the video, Jiang se was holding the trophy in one hand and the microphone in the other. She was speaking seriously, ”

I've worked with her before. She became famous early on, has a unique status, and her acting skills are superb. But she is still very serious when she is in her working state. She did not disrespect the crew and the script just because of her fame. when we started filming, regardless of whether she had any scenes, she always arrived very early and left very late. Her spirit is very worthy of learning from.

Tao cen's expression changed from disbelief to shock. She was silent for a long time before she pursed her lips tightly. In the end, she revealed a faint smile.

“Sister Tao, Yingluo.”

The assistant looked at her complicated expression. There was some relief, some joy, and some sincerity and tears in her eyes. She raised her head and sighed.

“Sometimes, it's not that embarrassing to have an opponent, right?”

The assistant was timid and didn't know if she was angry or happy, so she didn't dare to make a sound.

After a long time, her assistant called her softly, ”

“Sister Tao, Yingluo.”

Tao cen laughed and put the water bottle in his hand on the ground. He asked,”Where's the script?”

The assistant took out the script from her bag and handed it over. Tao cen flipped to a page and the assistant said, ”

“You're not angry?”

“I don't have the time to be angry.” Tao cen knew what the assistant was referring to, so he replied, ” “She won the ‘Best Female Lead' award at the France Film Festival. I haven't won it yet.”

Perhaps it was because she had been standing at a high position all these years and was too used to being the red flower that people fought for and not the green leaf that she didn't adjust her attitude in time when there was competition. That was why she had lost her sense of propriety in the past two years.

Tao cen recalled the past and began to reflect on herself. She would eventually catch up to Jiang se with her works and achievements. She would not compete with her for endorsements, for the front page, for news, for resources, and other things.

Back then, Jiang se had been able to walk out of the disappointment of being nominated for Best Female Lead in ” the demon ” but not winning the award. Now that she had won the award that belonged to her, Tao cen did not believe that she could not!

At that moment, the assistant vaguely felt that the haze in her heart had been swept away. It was as if she was rejuvenated. Her eyes revealed a glow that everyone was familiar with. She had returned to the Tao cen who was full of ambition and yearned for success and recognition!

At the foot of Hong Kong's Victoria's eye, Jiang se was waiting for someone.

When a car drove over from the road in the distance and stopped at the foot of the mountain, the door opened and Jiang Zhiyuan got out of the car with a small bag on his back.

When he saw Jiang se in the distance, his lips quivered. He pulled the strap of his backpack and appeared rather uneasy.

His daughter was not far from him, but he felt that it was too far away.

I just found out that standing here and watching the person waiting for me get off the car and walk towards me is like this. When Jiang se saw him walking over, she smiled at him.

They still took the same path up the mountain. Jiang Zhiyuan was still inarticulate. When they reached the top of the mountain, it was already past eight in the evening. Jiang se led him to the cable car down the mountain. He clutched his backpack tightly.

The night view at the foot of the mountain was like a painting. The two of them got into the cable car and took in the entire night view of Hong Kong and the Bay through the glass.

Jiang Zhiyuan was still in a daze even though the cable car was already moving.

“How have you been in prison for a year?”

Jiang se watched as he sat in a corner in silence. His hands clutched the straps of his backpack tightly while he kept his eyes fixed on her. It was as if he was afraid that he would never see her again if he took one look at her.

He nodded. Afraid that Jiang se would think that his attitude was too distant, he stiffly added, ” “Alright,” he said.

Although his reputation in the prison was not so fearsome, no one dared to provoke him either. To Jiang Zhiyuan, the one year in prison was not as bad a blow as the day when Jiang se refused to ” acknowledge ” him in ” Victoria's eye “.

At that time, his daughter was afraid of him, afraid of him, and was not even willing to call him ‘father'. To him, the greatest retribution was just like this.

Jiang se pursed her lips and smiled. She took out a new phone from her bag and handed it to Jiang Zhiyuan.

this is a phone. It has my and Yi's phone numbers, as well as the people around me. You can call us when you miss me.

He moved his lips and raised his head with a whoosh. He looked at Jiang se. His eyes were shockingly bright. Hope and hesitation intertwined in his eyes, and in the end, the light slowly dimmed.

Jiang Zhiyuan subconsciously leaned his upper body in Jiang SE's direction. As his eyes darkened, he instinctively retracted his hand.

He didn't reach out to take it, as if he was afraid that he would do something wrong. He held his pants tightly, and the originally very old pants were almost torn by his strength. He twisted it into a ball and squeezed it until it wrinkled.

no, Yingluo. his voice was a little hoarse as he suppressed his excitement. He still remembered his daughter's career and Jiang SE's reputation. He could not implicate her.

It was already very unfortunate for her to have a father like him. He couldn't help her, but at least he shouldn't be a burden to her.

He gritted his teeth and controlled the wavering thoughts in his heart. He closed his eyes again and shook his head.

“No,”

Jiang Zhiyuan seemed to be trying to convince himself. In the next moment, he felt the cable car shake. Jiang se sat closer to him. She reached out to pull him. The phone, which was still warm from her body temperature, was then stuffed into his palm.

He knew that this was not right. People like him were suited to live in the dark and should not be near the light. However, he was not sure if it was because the wind was particularly strong that night. He was wearing thin clothes and had been frozen for a long time. He yearned for this warmth and wished to be close to his daughter again. Therefore, when she reached out to him, he knew that he should stay away from her. This would be a good thing for Jiang se.

He shouldn't have accepted the phone either. He was used to not having a fixed residence and was used to being careful and not leaving any traces. He rejected everything and isolated himself from society, drifting outside the rules.

He understood the logic, and his rationality was even reminding him not to reach out to take it.

However, when Jiang se shoved the phone into his hand, his reaction was to hold on to it tightly. Even if there was only a tiny bit of warmth left in the phone, he did not want to give it up.

He didn't care if his phone had a location, whether it would catch him, and whether he would be easily caught through his phone when he did as he pleased in the future.

in my life, the role of a ‘father' has always been absent. I haven't learned how to be a daughter, and I don't know what I should do to be right. She smiled, but Jiang Zhiyuan's eyes began to feel hot. I'm still unfamiliar with having a father. I'll try to accept and learn how to be a good daughter in the future. I might need some time to get used to it. I hope you don't mind.

The cable car wobbled over a Hill. Her face was a little pale, but her smile was bright and lovely, which overlapped with the face in his memory.

His lips were pressed into a straight line, and the skin around his eyes trembled slightly, showing his excitement.

“I'm Yingying!”

His throat was choked with sobs and he was unable to speak. He had never believed in fate and cause and effect, but at this moment, he had to thank fate for giving him such a surprise.

Feng Nan married the heir of the Jianghua group's Zhao family in the middle of the year. She lowered her eyes and said in a soft voice, ” “From now on, we'll have nothing to do with Feng Nan anymore, okay?”

“En!” He nodded his head furiously.

“In the future, don't casually hurt people.” She requested softly. Jiang Zhiyuan's eyes were hot and tears were about to burst out. All these years, he had shed blood and sweat, but he had never shed tears. The person in front of him was his weakness. Even if she asked him not to hurt anyone in the future, he would not hesitate to jump down from this height.

“En!” He responded in a low voice.

The night view of Hong Kong was extremely beautiful tonight. After all these years, it was the only impression he had of her.

It was his first time in Hong Kong, and he saw that the place was full of money and opportunities.

The good times after that were wasted in prison. His impression of Hong Kong was only that cramped prison cell and four high walls.

When he came back, he had come with the thought of dying and had never thought of returning alive.

On the morning when he met Jiang se and walked into the ‘Victoria's eye', he could not be bothered with the scenery. Almost all of his attention was on his daughter. He was apprehensive because of Feng Nan's words. He was afraid that she would hate him, resist him, be afraid of him, and be afraid of karma. He did not leave in peace.

At this moment, he felt that this was the best view in the world!

In his simple luggage, there were not only two pieces of old clothes and some toiletries. He also had a new phone. His daughter said that in the future, there would be more things in his luggage.

There might be photos of her and even more things about his daughter. There might be so many things that he could no longer carry this bag around easily. He might find a new job and settle down again to settle these extra luggage.

He was not going to be a good father yet. No one was born to adapt to a new identity. He had a lot to learn in the future.

Back then, he regretted not being able to hear his daughter say ‘father' for the first time when she was learning how to speak. Perhaps in the future, he would hear it.

The cable car slowly came to a stop at the entrance of the mountain. When the door opened, Jiang se walked out and immediately saw PEI Yi standing outside.

He was like a pine tree on the peak of a mountain. His figure was tall and straight, and her figure was reflected in his eyes. When he saw Jiang se, the cold expression on his face instantly melted, and a faint warmth appeared.

He was always like this. When she needed him, he would always be there.

Jiang se pounced on him, but he caught her with both hands.

“Yi! Hubby!”

He was still feeling the chill of the night breeze. When he heard her coquettish words, a faint smile appeared on his face. He looked up at Jiang Zhiyuan first to make sure that this dangerous person was no longer a threat to Jiang se. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her hair. Even a man like him could reveal such a limpid expression. He replied gently,”Yes.”
