Chapter 701: Face Slapping
“Thanks.” Gu Weiwei sincerely thanked him.
Bach sized up the young Chinese girl in front of him. “No wonder Murphy is willing to work on your movie. I look forward to seeing your future amazing work.
“Sure.” Gu Weiwei said with a smile. She checked the time and said, “I’m sorry, I need to return home, so I can’t stay any longer.”
Bach smiled and said, “It is okay, I believe that we will meet again at the film festival in New York.”
This film would definitely win many awards at several film festivals this year.
“If possible, we will meet again.” Gu Weiwei shook hands with him and left with the two trophies to meet Jolin.
When Jolin received the message, he was already waiting at the exit with Lei Ning.
The moment she got into the car, he was so excited that he reached out for a hug. However, Lei Ning glanced at him coldly and he withdrew his hands.
Alright, she was Boss’s woman and she should not be touched.
“Weiwei, you did well.”
“You have no idea how pale I was when I saw Movie Queen Ling going onto the stage. She must have vomited blood by now.”
…
Gu Weiwei lifted the train of her gown into the car and smiled.
“She has embarra.s.sed herself by returning empty-handed.”
“It is not just embarra.s.sing, you totally humiliated her!” Jolin excitedly said.
When he saw Ling Yan on the stage, his heart sank, thinking that Ling Yan would win the Best Actress Award.
However, unexpectedly, when Bach announced that the winner was his girl, he screamed in excitement.
Bach had asked Ling Yan to attend the ceremony because he wanted to tell her about the award speech a few years ago, and also because he wanted her, the legendary Movie Queen, to present the award to the new legendary Movie Queen tonight.
But this was a slap across Ling Yan’s face.
She, the legendary Movie Queen, made a high-profile comeback but ended up returning empty-handed from the film festival.
She had been so high profile on the red carpet that she had been slapped right across the face.
Gu Weiwei removed her high heels and said, “Along with the awards tonight, we can get someone to release the promotional script and then our box office will rise again.”
“I have already asked my men to post it. When we return to the hotel, we will take two pictures of you holding the trophy and upload them.” Jolin said.
Ling Yan was still on the top search list, and when they reached the top of the search list, the uproar would be shocking.
It was going to be another round of face slapping.
Gu Weiwei rubbed the trophies in her hands. With these two trophies, the box office of Sleepless would definitely exceed Dream of a Long Life 2.
Ling Yan had returned empty-handed from the film festival and if she exceeded the box office again, she would no longer be a legend.
When the three of them returned to the hotel, Jolin asked the stylist to touch up her makeup and asked her to pose for some pictures with the trophy in the room.
Then she picked out a picture with perfect lighting, composition and smile.
There was also a picture taken by the photographer of the film festival, which was posted on Mu Weiwei’s Weibo.
There were two pictures in total. The first showed her receiving the trophy from Ling Yan on stage, and the other showed her holding the two trophies.

After Jolin posted the post, Fu s.h.i.+yi and Song Yu reposted it one after another.
Some of the stars behind the Weibo accounts, who had already seen her at the film festival, also reposted the post and congratulated her.
On the way to the airport, both [Movie Queen Mu Weiwei] and [Ling Yan Lugano Film Festival] had been placed on the top search list.
One returned with a good reputation while the other returned empty-handed. It was a very clear slap across the face.
