132. Nominated for the Silver Lion Award for Best Actress
Just as Guan Miao had predicted, after this operation, the popularity value that had been stagnant for a long time finally fluctuated.
However, because most of the points were guilt points from drama fans and fans, the rising speed only lasted for one afternoon and stopped rising at eight o'clock in the evening. The result for this half day was three thousand.
Guan Miao is very satisfied with this result. As for other things, he will have to wait until the show is finished before making any plans.
After everything was settled, she unexpectedly received a call from Xia Ping. As soon as she answered the phone, she heard a cold male voice from the other end.
"Geng Le said he felt sorry for you, but he didn't dare to call you, so he asked me to thank you on his behalf.
Thank you for rescuing him from that place and giving him freedom."
Listening to Xia Ping's words, Guan Miao suddenly asked, "Xia Ping, you're not short of money, and you don't particularly love your job as a screenwriter, so why did you choose to stay with Geng Le?"
After a few seconds of silence, the other party asked, "Teacher Guan Miao, are you investigating me?"
Guan Miao chuckled, "Yes, Teacher Xia Ping, didn't you investigate me too? I'm just returning the favor."
She said helplessly, "Young Master Xia, your identity is really hard to check."
After meeting with Geng Le and others for the first time and agreeing on the subsequent capital injection matters, Chai Yue told her the next day that someone was investigating her, but that person's methods were quite sophisticated, and she had not yet found out who was the mastermind behind it.
"But I think anyone who can hire a hacker of this caliber is definitely not someone from the entertainment industry. They probably don't have the insider resources."
Hearing Chai Yue's serious words, Guan Miao also became a little nervous, "Is this person really that powerful?"
"It's quite impressive. If we can recruit him, he will definitely be of great use."
"Then you do your best. I know nothing about this." Guan Miao shrugged, indicating that he was powerless.
A few days later, Chai Yue, with a face that looked like she had been up all night, ran excitedly to Guan Miao, who had just woken up, and said, "Miao Miao, I found out, it's Xia Ping, it's Xia Ping!"
"ah?"
After hearing Chai Yue's brief explanation, she realized that she had thought Xia Ping was getting a tragic script about a talented but unappreciated man, but it turned out to be a script about a rich young man who ran away from home for his ideals.
She is not short of money at all, and her family has resources. If she was not too embarrassed to beg for mercy from her family, she could easily set up a game on her own. How could it be her turn?
Moreover, AQ Company was caught up in the public opinion storm so quickly this time. He was also the driving force behind it.
Hearing the teasing in Guan Miao's tone, Xia Ping tensed up, "Teacher Guan Miao, I think you should also know what you can and cannot say."
"Since Young Master Xia has asked me this, I naturally have no reason to refuse. But I'm curious, since your family is also involved in the entertainment industry, why don't you just help Geng Le directly? Wouldn't that be more convenient and safer?"
Xia Ping subconsciously wanted to defend Geng Le, "Not everyone likes wealthy families! With Geng Le's personality, if he knew my identity, he would only distance himself from me."
After saying this, he softened his tone, regaining his usual composure and said, "As long as Teacher Guan Miao can control his mouth, I can guarantee that there will be no negative information about you on the Internet for the next three years."
Guan Miao curled his lips and smiled faintly, "Only three years? But I'm going to continue filming with Geng Le for three months in the middle of this year. If it's just three years, I can hardly guarantee that I won't let anything slip."
"There's no point bargaining with me. Just tell me your price."
"Six years."
"Five years."
"make a deal."
The other party was so decisive about the deal that Xia Ping immediately realized he'd been scammed. But it didn't matter; it was still within control.
Perhaps it was his silence that made Guan Miao think he was unhappy, so he explained a few more words, "Actually, Master Xia, don't worry too much. After all, I consider myself a good actor who abides by the law. There shouldn't be any black material against me in the next five years, so you won't lose out."
"I'm not worried about that."
After Xia Ping finished speaking, he fell silent again. Just before he was about to hang up, Guan Miao spoke again.
"Actually, I'm a little curious as to why you chose to conceal your identity and stay with Geng Le."
"You don't need to know this. You just need to let him know that he achieved his dream through his own strength. Goodbye, Teacher Guan Miao."
After saying that, Xia Ping hung up the phone without hesitation. Guan Miao held the phone with his thoughts wandering.
Could it be because Xia Ping likes Geng Le?
Or is it redemption or life-saving grace like described in novels?
No matter how hard she thought, she couldn't come up with a legitimate reason. Forget it, they would never understand the thoughts of these rich second generations.
After the previous events gradually calmed down, Guan Miao has been filming on the set.
The studio occasionally releases some behind-the-scenes footage for fans to watch, which can be considered as reassuring. However, of course, the clips that can be released have to be approved by the crew's public relations department.
On March 10th, the first batch of Xiangpenpen's sleeping incense finally shipped, and two days later, countless positive reviews appeared online. Meanwhile, more and more people are buying it online and offline.
Guan Miao's small treasury receives a considerable amount of money every day, which makes her very happy. It turns out that life where you can make money without doing anything is so great!
What’s even better is that my current crew members are friendly, filming is progressing well, there are no external disturbances, and the slush fund is growing rapidly.
Any one of these items alone is enough to excite her, not to mention the value of all of them combined together!
But this peaceful and happy life is always disrupted by someone.
Guan Miao had recently noticed that her lead actor, Qu Bo, was being overly attentive to her. Just as she was finishing a scene today, he handed her a bag and shyly spoke to her in the face of her skeptical gaze.
"Guan Miao, when I went out just now, I found some sugar-roasted chestnuts for sale outside, so I brought some for you.
I saw you bought a lot of sugar-roasted chestnuts when you were off duty at a night show, so I thought you might like them."
Seeing a hint of nervousness in the clear eyes of the man in front of him, Guan Miao smiled politely and expressed his thoughts in a slightly tactful way.
"It was very late after the night show that day, and I felt sorry for the old woman selling chestnuts all by herself, so I bought all her chestnuts."
Upon hearing this, Qu Bo's eyes flashed with disappointment and helplessness. "I'm sorry, I didn't know the situation was like this. So, do you not want to eat chestnuts now?"
Seeing his lost look, Guan Miao couldn't bear it after all, and said quickly: "Actually, I really missed this taste these past few days. Thank you so much, I'll transfer the money to you."
Seeing her say this, the disappointment in Qu Bo's eyes disappeared, and he immediately stuffed the bag into her arms, "That's good, take it quickly, the chestnuts will get cold soon. It's not expensive, we are colleagues, why are you arguing with me about this little money?"
As they were talking, Shu Yan and the third girl, Zhong Jiajia, came over. "Teacher Guan bought some chestnuts. Can we try a couple?"
"Of course," Guan Miao immediately handed it over and let them take it themselves, "Teacher Qu bought it. It's still steaming hot, be careful of the burns."
"So that's how it is. Thank you, Teacher Qu."
In response to their gratitude, Qu Bo forced a smile, but he was secretly trembling in his heart.
These were bought specially for Guan Miao. Guan Miao hasn’t even eaten a few yet. How did they appear?
However, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he couldn't just say that everyone was in the same crew now and there was no need to argue over some chestnuts.
But his attitude has been so obvious these past two days, yet Guan Miao still hasn't reacted. Does he really not care or is he playing hard to get?
Just as he was thinking about it, Si Gui suddenly appeared and pointed at them, "Hey, why are you all gathered here? Come here, let's talk about the next scene."
Guan Miao immediately handed the chestnut to Zhong Jiajia, picked up the script and walked towards Director Si.
In this way, Guan Miao was filming while dealing with Qu Bo's ambiguous pursuit, which caused some staff members in the crew to look at her and Qu Bo with something strange in their eyes.
She felt a little aggrieved, but Qu Bo didn't point it out, so she couldn't refuse directly. Otherwise, if the other person said that he was just enthusiastic and didn't mean that, she would be just being wishful thinking.
If this gets out, how embarrassing it would be! But now that the matter has been dragged on and not resolved, it has also had a certain impact on her life.
In the RV, she flipped through the script and asked An Jing in confusion what it was about her that Qu Bo saw in her.
"How should I know? I'm not Qu Bo. But Sister Chai Yue is already investigating his background.
If it turns out that his background is relatively clean, you can give it a try if you have any ideas."
"Give it a try?" Guan Miao was so frightened after hearing these three words that he threw away the script in his hand. "Impossible, this Qu Bo is not my type at all. I absolutely don't have any feelings for him, absolutely not."
An Jing didn't take it seriously, looking at her with a smile. "Really, I think Qu Bo is quite good-looking and he's a professional actor. If you two really get together, you can really learn from each other."
When it comes to professional issues, Guan Miao immediately switched to work mode and talked seriously with An Jing about Qu Bo's acting skills.
"Let me tell you, Qu Bo's acting skills are just average, even worse than some of the younger actors.
The lines are also bad, there is no power at all. Are all boys so weak nowadays? "
An Jing was surprised, "Is it so bad?"
"Of course, I feel like if he doesn't handle this drama well in the later stages, he'll definitely be criticized."
"I see. But anyone who can act in such a big-budget drama must have some connections behind them. We don't need to worry about that."
"Yes, yes, yes."
There was a sudden knock on the door of the RV. An Jing's expression changed and she asked in a cold voice, "Who is it? What's the matter?"
Unexpectedly, a voice that was very familiar to them came, "Miaomiao, be quiet, open the door quickly! I have something important to tell you."
"Sister Deng Ling?" The two looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe that Deng Ling, who was still in City C last night, would suddenly appear in front of them today.
After opening the door and confirming that it was Deng Ling, Guan Miao invited her into the car and was about to ask her what she was doing here and what had happened.
Before she could even finish her words, Deng Ling impatiently interrupted her, "Miaomiao, did you know? You've been nominated for the Silver Lion Award for Best Actress!"
"Really?" Guan Miao was stunned for a moment when he heard the news. When he came to his senses, he was already searching for the official account on Weibo with his mobile phone.
But in the end, I found that nothing was posted under their official account.
Her heart, which had been beating rapidly, suddenly stopped. She looked at Deng Ling disappointedly, "Sister Deng Ling, are you lying to me? You didn't post anything."
"Oh, this is inside information. It hasn't been announced yet. It will be released at 6 pm today. Just wait. You will definitely be nominated for Best Actress."
An Jing sensed something else behind this, "Hasn't Miaomiao received this nomination before? You didn't seem this excited then."
This is about Miao Miao being nominated for the Best Actress at the Golden Crane Awards last year for her role in "The First Lesson". However, at that time, Guan Miao had not been online much because she was filming, so the specific details were handled by Deng Ling and others.
She remembered that after seeing the shortlist, Deng Ling had a hopeless expression. Why was she so excited this time?
Deng Ling had a look on her face that said, "Believe me." "That's because her script for the first lesson wasn't deep enough. But we've all seen the quality of Yong Zhui's script. Your chances of winning this time are definitely greater than last time."
And I have studied your opponents this time. One of them has already won this award, and the requirements for winning it again will be higher. The role nominated by the other actor does not have enough depth.
So, your chances of winning are exactly 1/3."
Compared to Deng Ling's optimism, Guan Miao seemed a little nervous. "In fact, the probability of 1/3 is not very high. We should not be too blindly optimistic.
No one knows what will happen until the very last moment of the awards ceremony."
"Okay, then you can focus on filming for the time being, and you can also prepare your acceptance speech so that if you really win the award, you won't be at a loss.
I'll handle the rest of the issues. I need to have a proper conversation with Hanamiki this time.
Although their dresses are nice, the jewelry still lacks some weight. I plan to borrow a set of high-end jewelry for you, so that you can show more confidence. "
Guan Miao naturally had no objection to these matters. "Just call me once you've discussed it."
Seeing that she was still frowning, Deng Ling poked her face and comforted her, "Okay, no matter what the result is, you've already been shortlisted. Smile and don't be so sad every day."
"Um."
Since Deng Ling had come, she had no plans to go back. She also booked a room next to Guan Miao's room to facilitate the next arrangements.
As Deng Ling said, at 6 p.m. that day, the Silver Lion Awards released its latest blog post, announcing the list of nominees for this year.
Some fans who had already communicated with the studio came to control the comments and were proud of their idols.
Guan Miao's fans are naturally not far behind. [Miao Miao has another movie nominated for Best Actress!]
I feel Miaomiao has a very good chance of winning this year. "Eternal Falling" stands out among its peers in terms of both subject matter and social attention, and Miaomiao's acting has improved significantly, so she has a very good chance of winning!
If Miaomiao can really win Best Actress this time, she'll be a star above the rest. The film and television industries are ultimately on different levels.
[But if Miaomiao really takes root in the film industry, then will we no longer be able to see her in ancient costumes?
No, I think the Seventh Princess's makeup is really beautiful, and the crew's Reuters photos are also very beautiful. If she doesn't appear in a historical costume in the future, I will really cry.
[Hey, I just realized that this awards ceremony is held on Miaomiao’s birthday? Could this be the big surprise Miaomiao was talking about?]
[Don't talk nonsense upstairs. How could Miaomiao know about this kind of award in advance? And three months in advance? That only shows that the program team didn't do a good job of keeping it secret.]
[Yes, this is obviously a coincidence. Last year's awards ceremony was on April 17th, and the year before that it was on April 20th. Who knew it would be earlier this year?]
I can't believe Miaomiao has only been in the industry for three years, and she's already this close to winning Best Actress. I don't know if it's her good luck with awards or just good resources.
[Apart from anything else, I'm blessed by Guan Miao's vision and courage in choosing scripts. Yong Zhui is a relatively unknown new director, and his script is so bleak. If it doesn't pass the review, this year's hard work will be wasted.]
Even under these circumstances, she still accepted the offer and invested, putting the money to good use. I'm blessed to have such courage.]
