Hello Mr. King Chapter 372 - Film Winning

Chapter 372: Film Winning

“You’re a different girl. I wish you good luck.” Joseph got the answer he wanted and turned to leave.

However, since he talked to Yun Xiangxiang for at least three minutes, everyone was shocked. Many people who did not know her started to inquire or cast curious glances.

“Xiangxiang, how did you know this famous man?” He Xingzhou lowered his voice, unable to conceal his surprise.

“I ran into him when I was filming in France” Yun Xiangxiang could not clarify the incidents that happened in the middle.

It involved Faye’s issue. Speaking of which, if it were not for Faye targeting her, she would not have met such a renowned director.

“En, en, en….. Encountered?” He Xingzhou looked blank.

Was Joseph someone that one could just b.u.mp into casually? Even if it were a chance encounter, one would not take the initiative to start a conversation. It would inflict disgust on him.

By the looks of it, not only did Joseph not dislike her, but he also seemed to appreciate her very much.

This was incredible because Joseph was He Xingzhou’s favorite director. He felt that if he could lead in one of Joseph’s films, no, scratch that. His acting career would be complete, even if it were just a supporting role.

For this reason, He Xingzhou knew him well. Joseph was a very picky director, especially when it came to picking his actors. Not to mention those who had not collaborated with him. He rarely appreciated the ones who collaborated with him previously.

“You are questioning my good luck.” Yun Xiangxiang raised her eyebrows.

“No.” He Xingzhou shook his head quickly, “I just want to know how you got his favor.”

“Perhaps my words left a deep impression on him.” Yun Xiangxiang replied somewhat reluctantly.

She understood that He Xingzhou wanted to get some experience. It was not to say copying but to understand a little. After all, his goal was to collaborate with Joseph.

But her connection with Joseph was weird and hard to explain clearly. It was not that she wanted to hide it privately.

So she said, “I encountered him at a coffee shop, and we chatted for a few minutes. To leave a good impression on him, I mentioned “Confessions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau.”

He Xingzhou seemed like he only half-understood. By reason, even if she encountered a person like Joseph, he would not know her.

There must be some reason for the two of them that caused the two to talk, but Yun Xiangxiang was unwilling to elaborate.

He Xingzhou knew Yun Xiangxiang better. If it were possible to explain, she would tell him. Since she avoided the topic, there must be something that she had to conceal, so he just nodded and did not continue asking.

At the same time, he was worried that she would misunderstand that he got upset, so he changed the subject, “Xiangxiang, remember to lead me, your husband.”

He had a hunch that someday Joseph would look for her for a collaboration.

“Ex-husband.” Lu Jin corrected, “I am the current one.”

“I’m the original pairing.” He Xingzhou held on to it.

“An incompetent original pairing.” Lu Jin straightened his suit, “Tell me what advantages do you have, compared to me?”

He Xingzhou suddenly became angry, racking his brains. It seemed that he was not as well off compared to Lu Jin in terms of money, status, ability, means, or even appearance.”

After holding back for a long time, He Xingzhou finally blurted out, “I am younger than you!”

“Pfft!” Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t help laughing.

“You should learn to respect your elders, youngster.” Was Lu Jin someone who could be easily bullied?

He Xingzhou vs Lu Jin: He Xingzhou lost.

Yun Xiangxiang was thankful that she was sitting in the middle of these two people. He Xingzhou snorted and ignored Lu Jin.

At this time, all the people who should be present have all gathered, and the award ceremony officially began.

There were so many awards at the International Film Festival. In addition to that, there were also performances to raise the atmosphere. It took more than an hour to go halfway.

However, Yun Xiangxiang was not bored at all. Now only were the performances interesting, the host was also very humorous. In addition to that was the awards session. She could see many excellent films.

Some films, whether they were foreign or domestic, were not well known nor had a box office, but its contents were excellent.

It might have been because the films’ subjects might be relatively unpopular, or the expression was obscure or too deep to be well-liked by the audience.

Often, this kind of film had a more profound artistic level, and it was good work that needed to be slowly and thoughtfully appreciated.

As a Chinese, it was already not bad that she paid attention to some less popular domestic films. How could she have the capacity to simultaneously also check out the less popular foreign films?

It happened that there were many partic.i.p.ating works in this Film Festival that she had never even heard of before, but through the playback of some clips, they were excellent.

There were many places worth studying and researching; she quietly noted down.

She planned to look up for the films that she found interesting after studying the actors’ acting skills.

“You seem to watch it with relish.” He Xingzhou wanted to chat with her several times but found that she was so immersed in watching the clip, so he did not disturb her.

“I’m studying. Do you not think the way their emotional outbursts and the way they face the details and handle their emotions is just amazing?” She asked rhetorically.

“I finally believe that you purely like the job of being an actor.” He Xingzhou admired her.

He also liked this job very much, but he was not a purist for the art that Yun Xiangxiang was.

The main reason was that his acting skills were not bad, and he liked to figure things out for himself. He was someone who was influenced by others very easily.

If he tried to figure out someone else’s works too much, he would unconsciously mimic them, losing his personality.

Therefore, He Xingzhou seldom watched films and TV series. When he watched them, he would watch for the plot, thoroughly treating himself as an audience.

If there were a role that he could not figure out or could not interpret well, he would either look for real existence in his life or seek out his seniors to discuss it.

“Everyone has their ways. You say it like you don’t like this job.” She rolled her eyes at him.

After the other awards were given out, there was not even one nomination for “The King’s Plan.” Now it reached the climax, which was the main agenda.

Each award was of great value. After the newcomer’s award came to the short film award, then the lifetime achievement awards and so on, until the first nomination for “The King’s Plan” came up: The best technical contribution award, which was also the best photography award.

This was the first time Yun Xiangxiang looked forward to winning an award, even if it was not directly related to her.

Of the four nominated films, the other three were foreign films. Their shooting styles were also very delicate and outstanding.

“The winner of the Best Technical Contribution Award is China’s film “The King’s Wisdom”!”

When the awarding guest announced their film, she smiled brilliantly and applauded excitedly.

“I didn’t see you this excited during the College Student Film Festival.” Lu Jin couldn’t help laughing and poking fun at her.
