Jiang Se happens to have two films participating in this year's China International Film Festival. In addition to "About My Love for You", "Beijing Events" will also participate in this selection event.
"The nomination results will be announced around the 20th."
Xia Chaoqun said calmly:
"But as far as I know, Feng Nan has also applied for the Best Supporting Actress award based on her performance in The Rescue. She is likely to be nominated and will be your competitor."
In other words, in the nomination award for Best Supporting Actress at the China International Film Festival, Jiang Se and Feng Nan will be face to face this time.
There is only one award, and both of them are newcomers. Winning this award means different things to them. It represents their future development status in the entertainment industry. What's more, after winning, this grand event will be reported in different news in different countries through the hands of major media around the world.
At the same time, it also increases further opportunities, which means that the popularity and influence are expanded, which is beneficial for new collaborations with international directors and endorsements of some world-class luxury goods.
"So this film festival is very important. The company will also try its best to canvass votes for you and try to win the Best Supporting Actress award for "Beijing Events"."
Jiang Se also knew that she was still a newcomer. Although she played the female lead in "About I Love You", it was unlikely that she would win the Best Actress Award.
However, since Xia Chaoqun has said this, if Century Galaxy is also willing to step forward, this matter is not completely hopeless.
“Is it likely?”
Jiang Se asked and gestured in the direction of the company. Mo Anqi started the car and drove directly to Century Galaxy.
“Once you’re shortlisted, the possibilities are great.”
Although the title of Best Supporting Actress cannot be compared with that of Best Leading Actress, the competition is very fierce at the triennial film festival. Xia Chaoqun's target for Jiang Se is not the Best Newcomer, so even with the participation of Century Galaxy, there is only a glimmer of hope.
"Among the 30 judges, one-third are foreign judges, and among the two-thirds of domestic judges, three have close personal relationships with Hou Xiling, and one has also been friends with Chang Yuhu for many years."
It is precisely because of the list of these four judges that Xia Chaoqun is confident that Jiang Se will be nominated this time.
"The other judge was Shu Payne from Time Review. Do you remember him?"
Jiang Se remembered that when "Rescue Operation" was released, Shu Payne wrote a film review for her, praising her performance in the film. This film review also made Jiang Se's popularity rise. Of course she remembered it.
"He hasn't appeared much in the film industry in recent years, but his prestige is very high. He is also one of the judges for this film festival. He has a good impression of you and is very likely to vote for you."
If Shu Peien also voted for Jiang Se, out of the thirty judges, a total of five votes would be hers, which is not a small number. After being confirmed as a finalist, Jiang Se has a great chance of winning the Best Supporting Actress award, so Xia Chaoqun's tone was so confident.
"Based on the odds in previous years, more than ten judges would choose you, so the award is almost certain."
Xia Chaoqun finished what he was going to say, "Besides that, the heavyweight award presenter invited by China for this film festival is Italian director Cesare. You have to leave an impression in front of him. Got it?"
When she mentioned this, her tone was solemn, and it was obviously not a casual remark. Jiang Se paused and nodded:
"knew."
He first went back to the company and took the judges' information prepared by Xia Chaoqun, a thick stack. Because the list of judges for the China Film Festival had been kept secret, Century Galaxy only recently used its connections in the circle to find out the list. Time was already tight, Xia Chaoqun was very strict, and the information collected was a lot and diverse. Therefore, some of the foreign judges' information had not been sorted out and translated in time, and it was mixed in Chinese and English. Xia Chaoqun also asked Jiang Se to memorize all the information before the film festival at the end of the month.
Mo Anqi looked at the stack of information that Jiang Se was holding up, felt a little sympathetic, and reached out to take it. It was not light in weight.
When I casually open the page, I see that it is filled with densely packed words. Not only are there names and family situations of some judges, but also information about their special hobbies and awards they have won. It is not an easy task to memorize all of them before the end of the month.
In addition, there are also media materials from various countries that are coming this time. Mo Anqi flipped through them and felt a headache.
Although Century Galaxy gave Jiang Se a great opportunity, allowing her to win the Best Supporting Actress Award less than two years after entering the industry, Xia Chaoqun also had very high requirements for Jiang Se. Just this stack of information is hard for ordinary people to imagine.
"How about this, Sese? We can split the information in half, and I'll help you memorize some of it."
After getting in the car, Mo Anqi looked at the folders with some helplessness. They were piled up in a row on the back seat of the car. She started the car and looked back at Jiang Se, looking like she was willing to sacrifice her life for him:
"This will make it easier for you."
Since she became Jiang Se's assistant, the two have had a good personal relationship. When she made this suggestion, Jiang Se shook his head:
"Forget it. It's rude to ask you to remind me later."
She took a deep breath, opened a folder, and turned on the rear lights of the car:
"Isn't it just memorizing? Just treat this period as the college entrance examination!"
"puff."
Mo Anqi laughed out loud. In the rearview mirror, Jiang Se had already taken the information and started reading it, so she stopped disturbing him.
Xia Chao**'s next mission was very heavy, so Jiang Se had to ask for another month's leave from school. He planned to finish this period and then return to school in January to catch up on his lessons and take the exams.
Naturally, she couldn't go to the Western Suburbs Women's Prison for the time being, and she also called Dong Chaoping at the Grand Theater.
Jiang Se first spent nearly five days sorting out these disorganized materials, summarizing some of the words of others and reprinting them, which made it much easier to memorize them.
For more than half a month, she stayed at home almost all the time except for going to the beauty salon and practicing dance lessons. Until the evening of the 29th, when Xia Chaoqun called and asked her how she was doing with the information she had memorized, Jiang Se said calmly:
"Almost."
Her answer surprised Xia Chaoqun, who liked to keep things under control, never lost his composure, and seemed always calm and composed. He was speechless for a long time.
In fact, when Xia Chaoqun asked someone to sort out the information, although she asked Jiang Se to memorize all the information, she actually didn't expect Jiang Se to memorize all of it.
She just needs to remember the general idea so that she won't make a fool of herself when talking to people at the film festival, and with her own suggestions, she can smooth over the situation. (To be continued)
