Chapter 561: The Fan Who Became Famous During His Youth
It was not because she was the female lead in “The King’s Plan,” but because “The King’s Plan” was produced in China. She was an actress from China, and art did not care about national boundaries. Yun Xiangxiang still wanted to use her own way to stand for her country’s work.
Today’s red carpet was really dazzling. It was colorful, and all kinds of styles came from male and female stars from all over the world. It was a dazzling sight.
Yun Xiangxiang wore a bright red full-collar, half-sleeved, and long-sleeved qipao gown today. The Qipao was no different from an ordinary qipao from the knees. Below the knees, it was a wide skirt with layers of light gauze stacked up like the tail of a fish.
There were sequins on the thighs and exquisite embroidery on the upper half of her body. Her hair was all tied up high and decorated with red flower accessories. It was placed on the left side of her forehead along the separate hairline.
Yun Xiangxiang was wearing a set of purple jade jewelry. The earrings were in the shape of a huge lotus flower decorated with diamonds and purple jade. There was no necklace, but there was a purple jade brooch the size of a quail egg surrounded by diamonds, and a ring of the same design as the earrings, there was also a jade bracelet that was dripping with water.
It was full of nobility, luxury, and elegance.
At first, Zhou Jie was worried that Yun Xiangxiang would not be able to control it. After all, she was too young. She did not expect that after the top half of her body, her hairstyle would be done, and her entire temperament would change.
She entered the venue with Lu Jin arm-to-arm. A handsome man and a beautiful woman were really eye-catching.
“Can we be considered a couple?” Lu Jin teased Yun Xiangxiang.
Today, he was wearing a wine-red suit. It was very stylish and elegant, which made him look even more handsome.
“Fortunately, Director Wu is also wearing a dark red tang suit.” Yun Xiangxiang had a bad feeling when she saw Lu Jin.
She had already chosen to walk the red carpet with Lu Jin. At this time, there was no way to change it. However, the two of them did look like a couple.
Fortunately, Wu Zhao, who appeared behind them, was also wearing a dark red tang suit. This way, it was a set.
Needless to say, the effect of the three different red suits was really excellent. At least, they shocked the public and the media.
After signing and being interviewed privately by the media for a few minutes, Yun Xiangxiang and Lu Jin quickly followed the person-in-charge into the auditorium and found their seats.
“Elder sister, I especially like you.” Yun Xiangxiang had just sat down when a very callow boy’s voice sounded on the side.
She turned her head and saw a five or six-year-old boy. Yun Xiangxiang knew who he was. His name was Zong Qirui. He was only six years old this year.
However, his work, “The Likes of a Little Boy,” had attracted a lot of attention last year. This film was a fantasy film.
It told about some common problems of young teenagers and their fantasies. It was presented in a humorous way, and it also showed some family conflicts and ways to deal with them. It was known as the best fantasy film in China.
The six-year-old boy who was the male lead, Zong Qirui, became famous overnight.
The little brat had just entered primary school not long ago. Yun Xiangxiang was especially gentle. “Why did you come here alone?”
“I was sitting over there. I greeted my mother.” Zong Qirui pointed to his seat.
He was not in the same area as Yun Xiangxiang. Yun Xiangxiang looked over. The production team of “Little Boy’s Love” was over there. She nodded at the person opposite her.
“You came to me just to tell me you like me?” Yun Xiangxiang patted his head.
“I have a gift for you.” Zong Qirui took out a figurine. It was the figurine of his role in the film.
“Thank you. I like it very much. I’ll give you one when I go back.” Yun Xiangxiang did not bring anything with her, so she could only make a promise.
“You have to sign it,” Zong Qirui emphasized.
“Okay, I’ll definitely sign it.” Yun Xiangxiang smiled and nodded. “I’ll send you there…”
“I’ll send you there. It’s not convenient for you.” Lu Jin stood up first. Yun Xiangxiang was wearing a gorgeous gown, so it was indeed inconvenient for her to walk between the seats.
“Thank you, Brother Jin.” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t try to be brave. Instead, she held Zong Qirui’s little hand. “Let Brother Lu Jin send you back to your mother.”
Zong Qirui looked at Lu Jin with a conflicted expression.
“What’s wrong?” Yun Xiangxiang asked softly.
“What… should I call uncle… uncle is older than my mother…” Zong Qirui’s voice grew softer as he spoke.
It turned out that he could not call Lu Jin brother. Yun Xiangxiang laughed out loud. “Older than your mother, then you should call me aunty.”
“Uncle Lu.” Zong Qirui called out obediently.
Lu Jin :”…”
“Hahahaha.” Even Wu Zhao couldn’t help but laugh.
Under normal circumstances, the 34-year-old Lu Jin would have a 10-year-old child. If Zong Qirui’s mother got married and had children early, she might not even be 30 years old.
Yun Xiangxiang held back her laughter and said, “Then let… Uncle Lu send you over.”
As Yun Xiangxiang spoke, she passed Zong Qirui’s little hand to Lu Jin. Lu Jin was very magnanimous. After all, the words of a child were spoken without fear. Moreover, there was nothing wrong with a child’s understanding.
This small interlude made the atmosphere even more lively. Lu Jin did not mind being called old.
The award ceremony soon officially began. The Xibai film festival had more sections. First was the new generation section, which was the field of awards for teenagers and cartoons. Zong Qirui was shortlisted for this section.
There were more than 400 films in the film festival, but only 20 films could be nominated for a section. The elimination rate was really high.
However, “The Likes of a Little Boy” was indeed nominated. The judges for this award were also 11 to 14 year olds. It was purely based on the likes of the young people.
The six-year-old Zong Qirui was pushed to the highest position and won the biggest crystal award in the section.
Naturally, the people who accompanied him upstairs were arranged by the film crew. The host used English, but the little brat still did not understand. He relied on the person-in-charge to translate. His childish words still caused many people to be kind and happy.
The host asked him, “What’s your biggest dream?”
No one expected the little child to actually say, “I want to grow up quickly and marry sister Xiangxiang.”
His answer was translated, and all the spotlight was focused on Yun Xiangxiang. Most people looked at Yun Xiangxiang, and Yun Xiangxiang could only smile shyly.
The end of the award ceremony of this unit was the Panorama Unit. The works of this unit were mainly aimed at the bolder themes. In the past, the grand prize winners had involved the same-sex, same-wife, and other sensitive themes—there was basically no chance of being shortlisted for commercial films in this section.
The selection method was also based on the audience’s votes. Yun Xiangxiang was focused on watching the nominees for the various film awards.
Most of them involved films that challenged the bottom line of humanity. It was probably impossible for these films to be approved in China.
In the end, the grand prize winner, and the one that won the most awards, was “Primitive,” which was shot by a tourist kingdom.
