Tong Wei wiped the tears from her eyes: "Well, I understand."
"Wipe your tears and don't let them see it. We are waiting to celebrate your nomination for the Golden Lion Award."
“Am I really shortlisted?”
Wen Qiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Do you think I would fool Xie Fei with such a thing? It's really nominated. You and Teacher Shao are nominated for Best Actress and Best Actor respectively, and the director is also nominated. A total of five nominations."
The two entered the private room. Lu Xu asked the waiter to get two firecrackers. They pushed the door open and with a bang, golden colored paper flew all over the sky. Tong Wei was startled, and then she saw that everyone in the room was applauding her.
"Congratulations on being nominated for the Golden Lion Award for Best Actress."
The tears that she had just swallowed back now burst out again. Tong Wei held Wen Qiao's hand tightly. Everything she had was given to her by Wen Qiao. She had thousands of words to say, but she didn't know which one to say first.
Wen Qiao patted the back of her hand and said, "Sit down and have dinner."
Lu Youyou said to Wen Qiao with a beaming face, "Those apps that estimate the box office have started to modify the numbers after the nomination list came out. They said before that [Xia Kong]'s box office would be at most 30 million. Now guess what it has been changed to?"
"How many?"
"Three hundred million!"
Wen Qiao sneered: "These realistic fence-sitters."
"Mr. Wen, can you give us an estimate of how much this movie will eventually make?"
Wen Qiao held a tall wine glass in his hand, and under the crystal chandelier, his eyes sparkled as he said slowly, "Nanli is not a commercial film. It's mainly for awards. It has five nominations so far, so I'll estimate it to be worth 500 million."
"Now that President Wen has spoken, I think 500 million is a good deal."
Wen Qiao tapped Lu Youyou's head and said, "Okay, let's eat."
"Oh, I'm so excited. Let me show you what those fence-sitters on the Internet are saying. At first, they all said that Mr. Fu didn't like having too much money and came to the entertainment industry to squander his money. Now look at the comments on the Internet again. It has been on several hot searches."
Wen Qiao glanced at—

#Mr. Fu’s status as a business tycoon remains unshakable#
Netizen review [I am not a hindsight expert. With the status of a business tycoon like Mr. Fu, the films he got must have been carefully selected and the best scripts. Is it the money that he is looking for? He wants fame and fortune. In the entertainment industry, it is not difficult for commercial films to have high box office, but it is difficult to win awards, and it is even more difficult to win awards at international A-level film festivals. I can only say that Mr. Fu is awesome]
[This man is tall and handsome, the third generation of a chaebol, graduated from MIT with a double degree in astrophysics and mathematics, can fly a plane, and joined his own group and I heard he took two billion-dollar projects with great vigor. Now he is entering the entertainment industry with such a unique vision. God! What else is not perfect about you?]
[Master Fu is perfect in every way except that he doesn’t belong to me]
Wen Qiao's lips curled up slightly. Praising her brother Nanli was like praising herself. She felt honored.
Lu Youyou's eyebrows danced as she scrolled through the pages again: "There are discussions about you, too."
[Xiao Wen's head office has signed five artists in total. Tong Wei is predictable and will definitely become popular. The other one is Lu Xu. There is also a new artist I haven't heard of, named Zhou Tao. She is very beautiful, but she has not produced any works yet. Will all of them become popular in the end?]
[It is very likely, but I feel that she has a good aesthetic sense. The artists she chooses are not only good-looking in appearance, but also have good bones. They all have faces that can stand up to the big screen. Moreover, Dong Yao and Fang Duo's acting skills are real and natural, which is rare. Tong Wei has unlimited potential. The other two are still unknown. It is estimated that if they can catch her eye, they will also be good.]
