The first award nominated for “Flying Sky”was the Best Cinematography Award, and it won the award.
Immediately after, “Flying Sky”nominated for Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Director, but none of them won.
Yun Xiangxiang actually knew very well that “Flying Sky”was unlikely to win a particularly high award at the film festival of Xibai because it was a purely commercial film. However, the nature of the film festival of xibai was different from that of the film festival of Shuicheng and Kancheng.
The film festival paid more attention to the political aspect, which was why “The king’s plan”was selected.
Although the male and female leads had nothing to do with the subject matter, and Xue Yu and Yun Xiangxiang’s acting skills were indeed superb, they did not have much of an advantage compared to the top actors from all over the world. Even Xue Yu had two roles to play, if he could switch freely, he would have missed out on the Grand Award, let alone Yun Xiangxiang?
There was no hope for the previous awards, and naturally, there was no hope for the grand prize of Best Picture either.
However, Yun Xiangxiang and Xue Yu were not too disappointed. Their failure this time proved that they were not outstanding enough, so they would work harder next time.
Yun Xiangxiang looked at the nominated works seriously. She was completely convinced that she had lost. The clips that were taken were all filled with explosive acting skills.
Yun Xiangxiang did not win any big awards, so she did not return to China immediately like before. Instead, she took advantage of He Wei and Xue Yu’s presence to set up a banquet in the land of wine and flowers. She invited Xie Manliang over for a meal to thank him, a foreign director, she had taught them a lot of valuable experience during filming.
When they returned to China, it happened to be the last screening of “Soar to the sky,”and the result was both gratifying and a pity.
The gratifying part was that “Soar to the sky”’s total box office earnings exceeded 2.8 billion yuan, breaking the previous record set by “Craftsmans.h.i.+p.”.
It was a pity that it did not break 3 billion yuan in one go.
Yun Xiangxiang was especially happy because she could split the profits. She had a considerable amount of income, which just happened to be invested in the new company.
When Yun Xiangxiang returned to the country, six people from Xu Mo’s team were willing to apply for jobs at Yun Xiangxiang’s company.
The interview given by Song Mian was a plane ticket out of the country.
“Where are you sending them?”Yun Xiangxiang was a little surprised.
“I’m going to lower their spirits and let them meet some outsiders to train their abilities.”Song Mian smiled.
Yun Xiangxiang blinked her eyes and understood. “I won’t give you any trouble, Will I?”
“It’s something convenient. If they can meet the standard in three months, they will be qualified to enter your company.”This was really convenient for song Mian and did not require any favors.
Since Yun Xiangxiang wanted to do it, as her fiancé and her husband who would become a full-time employee in five months, he naturally had to personally check on her.
“You’ve already told them?”The plane tickets were all bought.
“I only hinted to Yang Qi.”This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Song Mian did not want some people to want to join because of these opportunities. It would depend on their choices first.
“Thank you, Hubby.”Yun Xiangxiang Kissed Song Mian.
In the past, she was embarra.s.sed to call him that. After the last time, Yun Xiangxiang felt that as long as she took the first step, the rest would not be difficult.
Song Mian had put in so much effort, so Yun Xiangxiang could not refuse. After that, she searched for management talent, so she did not bother song Mian.
After she had hired herself, she looked for song Mian to check on her. While filming this scene, she was busy with the company’s matters.
After joining the crew for half a month, Fei Ming, the male lead, was well-behaved. Other than the necessary interactions during filming, he did not go near Yun Xiangxiang. Yun Xiangxiang was happy and relaxed.
After sending Xu Mo and the rest away, the company’s staff was almost settled. Yun Xiangxiang had nothing else to do besides filming.
She revised her graduation thesis again and again. She did not expect it to be outstanding and she did not want to disappoint her teacher.
Yun Xiangxiang decided to write her graduation thesis on her own and did not even intend to show it to Song Mian.
Yun Xiangxiang was in a good mood and spent every day happily. When she woke up one day, she received a text message.
It was from her little aunt. The gist of it was that her uncle’s sentence had been pa.s.sed and he had been sentenced to two years and six months.
Her little aunt’s tone was very unkind and told her that she had to settle it for her. Otherwise, she would make Yun Xiangxiang suffer.
Yun Xiangxiang did not care about her aunt’s threat at all, and her mood was unaffected as she went to the production team.
“Let’s have dinner together tonight,”Zhou Wei said as soon as he arrived at the production team.
“Got it. I’ve already prepared a birthday present for you.”Today was Zhou Wei’s birthday.
A production team, the producer, and some of the people in charge had already discussed about having dinner together, especially after the opening ceremony. Yun Xiangxiang had gone overseas and did not have the time to get together, so she took this opportunity to make up for it.
She had already reduced the scenes for today and ended at five in the afternoon. She directly took the crew’s car to the hotel that she had booked.
There were not many people. Only the production crew’s manager and the main creator sat in a private room. There was a total of one person.
Yun Xiangxiang paid special attention to Fei Ming. Although it was spring and it was almost march, the weather was still not hot.
Everyone had long sleeves and jackets. Fei Ming wore a s.h.i.+rt and a suit vest. The sleeves of his s.h.i.+rt were rolled up.
Even though the air conditioner was turned on in the private room, it should not be so hot.
However, some people were afraid of the heat. Yun Xiangxiang only took a few glances.
Just as she retracted her gaze, Fei Ming asked, “Xiangxiang, do you want red wine or fruit juice?”
They didn’t book a hotel like that. The private rooms had private service, and even the kitchen was a private room.
Fei Ming poured the wine himself, but in order to show his gentlemanly demeanor, he did all the work. The others were poured by him, so Yun Xiangxiang didn’t seem to have any opinion about him. “Fruit juice.”
It just so happened that Fei Ming poured fruit juice for the previous senior, who played Yun Xiangxiang’s mother-in-law in the film. He was holding a bottle of freshly squeezed fruit juice. Yun Xiangxiang didn’t like red wine either.
Fei Ming picked up a gla.s.s and poured more than half a gla.s.s for Yun Xiangxiang. He placed it on the table and turned it in front of Yun Xiangxiang.
After that, he first asked the lady to finish pouring the juice before helping the man to pour the wine.
During the banquet, everyone raised their gla.s.ses a few times together. Yun Xiangxiang then raised her gla.s.s and gave Zhou Wei a toast.
After eating more than half of the meal, Yun Xiangxiang went to the bathroom. Everything was originally fine. Yun Xiangxiang had just finished going to the bathroom when her vision suddenly darkened and she almost lost her balance.
Her hands and feet started to feel weak. She immediately took out her phone from her bag and wanted to call song Qian, but she felt that the phone was very heavy. Her hand trembled so much that the phone fell out.
She did not dare to squat down to pick up the phone, afraid that she would not be able to stand up. She barely rushed out of the bathroom. When she reached the sink, she felt dizzy and could not hold on any longer. Soon, her consciousness was swallowed up.
Before she lost consciousness, Yun Xiangxiang could not understand how she had fallen into the trap!
