Chapter 125. Beijing Film Festival (1)"Mr. Xin Ren, please one photo."
"Ms. Xie Yujing, please look this way."
"Hey, don"t push me. I need a photo for my magazine."
"We all are here for photos too."
It was like a fish market with all the cameras and bring flashes around.
Ren was currently taking photos in front of a photo wall. Xie Yujing was behind him and they were taking photos together.
Most of the shooting for the «Heirs» was already finished and the drama was soon to be released.
Because of that, there was antic.i.p.ation in the air as many people were waiting for the drama.
And to promote the drama, Ren and Xie Yujing were currently taking photos in front of a photo wall.
Reporters were continuously asking them for poses and they were doing their best to give them the corresponding poses.
They were currently at the Beijing Film Festival, it was a major Film Festival that was recognized all over the country.
Since this was a film event, most attendees were directors and production-related professions as well as actors and actresses.
Ren was also dressed formally with a suit, shaved beard and a stylish hairstyle.
He was looking like a prince while taking photos in front of the photo wall.
"I hope you win the award today."
Xie Yujing said to him after taking photos.
The reason Ren was here was not only because, he was promoting his drama, it was also because he was nominated for the best debut award tonight.
He was nominated for «Secret spy», which was his first movie.
He didn"t knew if he would win the award or not, but his heart was excited and nervous thinking about it.
"I hope that too."
"Then, I will meet you later."
Xie Yujing left after that and Ren was left standing alone.
He looked into his surroundings and noticed various directors and production company employees looking at him.
He can"t do anything about it. As his drama has blown up at the start of the year and become a global hit, his reputation and value has grown.
He can expect some director"s and production company employees trying to approach him.
"Ren, let"s go inside."
White bear approached him and said. He was also wearing a suit today.
"Sure, Is the ceremony starting?"
"It have sometime but Director Zhao said that you should be there ahead of time."
"Sure, let"s go."
Ren and White bear, then moved to the inside of the venue. He soon saw Director Zhao there, talking with some people.
Xiao Rin and Chief Han were also there.
Xiao Rin"s eyes s.h.i.+ned when she saw him, but she didn"t called out to him, because of the number of people in the venue.
Only Jiang Wan was not here, because he had to take care of a schedule.
"Oh! It"s the s.h.i.+ning star. Mr. Xin Ren, I am hearing really good things about you."
"Yes, I had heard that your next drama is going to be released soon."
"You really look like the superstar of next generation."
Instead of Director Zhao, the people talking with him previously, greeted him pleasantly.
Ren wondered why they were being so friendly with him and he was able to know the answer pretty soon.
They were some of the director"s from production houses. There was one rookie director too.
"It"s nice to meet you all."
Ren greeted them as he and White bear sat down.
The people from the production houses talked to him pleasantly as they acted overly familiar with him.
"I had heard that your next drama, «Heirs» is going to be released soon."
"Yeah, there"s a buzz around it. I think it will surely be a hit at the least."
"Have you thought of any other project after that?"
A employee from a production house asked and Director Zhao replied instead of Ren.
"We are looking through some projects. I think it will be revealed soon."
"Is that so?"
"I thought you have already chosen a project."
It was true that Ren haven"t joined any other project after «Heirs».
He still haven"t decided if he wanted to do «Vagabond» or not. He had been avoiding it because of the shooting of his drama.
But he knew he have to give the answer soon.
"If you still haven"t decided on a project, how about looking through this guy script?"
A director of a production house said as he elbowed the guy bedsides him.
It seems like the guy was a rookie director who was looking for production companies to produce his movie.
"I don"t think Mr. Xin Ren will do his next project with a rookie director."
"Yes, I had heard that many big director"s wants him in their projects."
"But who knows today"s rookie can become a big shot tomorrow."
It was really true. A rookie can easily become a big shot tomorrow.
Ren has seen it for himself.
He was just a rookie actor before, now he was a big actor and he had many projects to choose from.
"What do I do with «A born star»?"
Ren suddenly remembered the rookie director Ying Yue and her movie, after seeing the rookie director in front of him.
He has already fully read the screenplay of it and he was now getting sure and sure that he wanted to act in it.
But he still hadn"t signed it officially because he knows that his agency would not approve of it because the movie has no investors and it would be directed by a rookie director.
He was hesitating because of that.
"I remember hearing that you will be playing the second male lead in Director Lu"s movie «Vagabond», is it true?"
When someone said that while looking at Ren, a short commotion broke out.
"I don"t know that. I had heard that it"s a big budget movie with top quality VFX and it will be released worldwide too."
"Yes, it"s been released by various production houses."
"Director Zhao, is it true?"
A employee said as he looked towards Director Zhao and he replied while shaking his head.
"No, although it"s true that we got a proposal. We are still thinking about it. It"s not being confirmed yet."
"Really! I thought it was already confirmed."
Ren furrowed his brows when he heard that.
He hadn"t selected the movie yet, because of the CEO"s request, he was going to meet with Director Lu and talk about the project.
But he didn"t knew that there were rumours about how he was already cast in it.
Maybe, the team of «Vagabond» has purposely leaked it to create some hype or it was just a rumour.
Anyway, the ceremony started while Ren was thinking about that.
