Chapter 444 Returning to China
Chapter 444 Returning to China
Although they hadn't seen each other for a while, Su Lingxi and Yu Wan often attended online meetings together, so they didn't feel strange when they met each other. They chatted for a while before going their separate ways.
Su Lingxi led the group and continued walking forward until they stopped at the door of the innermost office.
Before she could knock on the door, it creaked and was opened from the inside.
Soon, the door closed again.
The rest of the people looked at their noses and their hearts, and they all very sensibly stayed far away.
"Why did you come to the company as soon as you got off the plane? I thought you would want to go home and rest for two days."
The temperature in the office was just right. Ruan Tang was wearing a grey windbreaker with her long hair tied up. Her graceful neck line made her look even more elegant. She didn't look like the CEO of this skyscraper, but more like an Asian model on the streets of Paris.
After waiting for a while without getting a reply, Ruan Tang gave him a puzzled look.
Su Lingxi didn't answer. She lowered her head, took out the glittering little golden man from her bag, and placed it directly on the table.
"This is our trophy." She raised her head and met Ruan Tang's eyes. Everything seemed to go back to that exciting night. "Teacher, we won."
Although Ruan Tang didn't say it explicitly, Su Lingxi could guess that she had suffered a lot of grievances in the United States.
Su Lingxi held her breath the whole time, wanting to prove to those scum who looked down on Chinese people and women that their sense of superiority was totally unfounded.
So what if it's an Oscar? She can still win the Oscar by stepping on other candidates as a Chinese.
What's so great about CAA? Without those celebrity clients, they are just castles in the air.
Ruan Tang looked at the little golden statue with nostalgia, but did not reach out to take it. "Yes, we won."
The goal she had been working towards for most of her life was now accomplished by her students.
That year, her name only made it to the Golden Globe Award, and she was the first candidate to be eliminated in the entire awards season.
However, Lingxi became the ultimate winner of this year's awards season.
"I feel very lucky to have a student like you." Ruan Tang smiled with relief, "You said at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony that 'there are many good horses, but few good horse trainers', which is actually not true."
"You are excellent, Lingxi. If I replace you with anyone else, I, as your mentor, will not be able to bring out the best in you."
"Only you can be the most suitable partner for me."
Compared to other people Su Lingxi met along the way, Ruan Tang's demeanor at this moment was much calmer, with a hint of arrogance that could not be concealed in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Su Lingxi paused, her tears instantly retreated, and she laughed unconsciously, "Teacher, you really haven't changed at all."
From the end of Oscar night until today, Su Lingxi has thoroughly felt the madness of the world's changes - leaving aside the increasingly enthusiastic fans and staff, the attitude of other colleagues towards her has almost undergone a drastic change - even more so than the reaction when "Freedom Road" set a box office record.
After all, the box office and other things are not just her credit, but the Oscar for Best Actress is a very valuable award.
"Oh, then you probably didn't see how out of control I was that night." Ruan Tang raised her eyebrows and said humorously, "Yu Wan said that my face was as red as if I had drunk ten kilograms of white wine. I looked drunk and scared her."
Su Lingxi tried to imagine the scene she described and couldn't help laughing even more happily.
The heavy atmosphere was swept away.
Ruan Tang glared at her in a reproachful manner, but it was clear that she was not really angry. "Anyway, since we have obtained this little golden man, all the subsequent arrangements will have to be changed in a timely manner."
"Yes, this is also what I have been thinking about recently." Su Lingxi stopped when she saw that things were going well, and quickly returned to the state of seriously discussing business. "Winning the Oscar means that our short-term goal has been achieved. Before that, our plan is to devote ourselves to shooting a real Oscar-winning film next year. The subject matter must be a biographical film, and it is best to be linked to elements that judges like, such as the alienation of power, human nature, and the dark side of society."
Ruan Tang nodded. "At that time, no one could have imagined that so many unexpected things would happen during this year's awards season - and no one expected that the jury would give you the Best Actress award so quickly."
"Indeed, but I think one of the benefits of winning the little golden man is that we don't have to spend more time selecting suitable scripts for Oscars." Su Lingxi continued as she said.
It can be said that before winning the Golden Globe Award, they had never expected to have the opportunity to win this year's Best Actress award.
According to their original plan, the two films "Freedom Road" and "Angelica Madame Tussauds" are enough to prove that her box office appeal far exceeds that of her peers. As long as she gets an Oscar nomination, she will further become a representative of the acting school among the new generation of actresses.
With all this as a foundation, their future in Hollywood will be much easier, and their chances of winning an Oscar will be greater.
However, after the Golden Globe Awards, things took a completely unexpected direction - Golden Globe Award winner, falling incident, public relations war... one major event after another came one after another, and they didn't even have time to hold a celebration party for the Oscar nomination they had finally won, and they had to once again engage in a new round of public relations war.
"I thought we could only get a nomination at best, but I didn't expect..." Ruan Tang sighed, "Maybe you shouldn't have signed Greta's contract. After all, that film is no longer suitable for you now."
Greta Mirren's new film "The Painted Veil", which is still in preparation, is a suspense film with a slightly obscure content. The heroine Eve needs to show three personalities in the film, which is a great test of the actor's acting skills, but also leaves enough room for the actor to show off his skills.
If it was before winning the Oscar, such a film would undoubtedly help Su Lingxi solidify the title of "acting master", but now they have won the Oscar, and won it in a well-deserved manner - in any case, at least no media would be stupid enough to question the acting skills of an Oscar-winning actress.
As a result, "The Veil", a film whose subject matter suggests that it is unlikely to achieve high box office, seems a bit useless at this time.
But they had already signed the performance contract a long time ago, and now there is no room for regret.
