I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 562 Returning Home!

"set off!"

All things considered, the two of them did not rest for very long.

There's still a flight of more than ten hours ahead, so catching up on sleep on the plane is fine too.

Ding!
Chen Jin's phone rang; it was a message from Matthew.

The cast and crew of "Dallas Buyers Club" have boarded a plane to return to New York. This trip to San Denis was indeed a highlight of their lives.

After giving a brief reply, Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanzi dragged their luggage out of the hotel.

Compared to the bustling atmosphere when we arrived, Park City was rather desolate after the hustle and bustle faded.

Zhu Yanmanzi wrapped her coat tighter around herself, and when she looked at Chen Jin again, her eyes were filled with love.

Hey! Darling!

"Congratulations, Dallas Buyers Club has won two awards."

Paula appeared at the hotel entrance. As Chen Jin's competent agent, she was bound to handle every detail.

This includes taking one's own artists to the airport.

"Thank you, Paula."

Chen Jin put the two of their suitcases in the trunk, while Zhu Yanmanz took the opportunity to greet Paula.

Overall, Paula now has to admire Chen Jin.

At the time, when Chen Jin resolutely decided to participate in the Dallas Buyers Club project, she had objections.

After all, a mediocre work will only lower Chen Jin's current status if it doesn't perform well.

To know.

Although Chen Jin is still a bit short of becoming a Hollywood international superstar, his current status in Hollywood is already incomparable to what it used to be.

Fortunately, she listened to Chen Jin's advice and won the project, and the final result did not disappoint her.

The film won two awards at the Sundance Film Festival.

This is clearly a pretty good sign, at least in terms of distribution there's nothing to worry about.

Wishing you a Happy New Year.

Paula raised an eyebrow.

If it weren't for Chen Jinhua's events, she would have even wanted to start filming "John Wick 2".

but.

Ultimately, we should follow Chen Jin's ideas and definitely take into account domestic factors.

Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanz nodded with smiles, and then the three of them got into the car.

"Oh, right—"

Paula didn't start the car immediately, but turned to look at Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanz behind her.

"You'll probably need to be back by February 7th for the North American premiere of 'Dallas Buyers Club'."

"As for my next task, I will attend the Golden Globe Awards ceremony."

Chen Jin was aware of the North American release of "Dallas Buyers Club".

When they attended the tribute dinner, Focus Features purchased the North American distribution rights for $500 million.

Focus Features.

It is an art-house film label under Universal Pictures, primarily responsible for theatrical distribution in North America.

This time.

The distribution strategy discussed by everyone was to "release it on a small scale first".

However, it is clear that the global impact of the film "Dallas Buyers Club" has reached its peak.

Even with a global release, its impact is undeniable.

Upon hearing Paula's words, Zhu Yanmanz turned her head to look at Chen Jin beside her.

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony is considered a bellwether for the Oscars, and perhaps this time Chen Jin has a chance to step onto a broader stage.

After giving a general overview of the tasks, Paula slowly started the car.

Near the airport.

Zhu Yanmanz and Chen Jin were increasingly delighted; their eagerness was beyond words.

"Then I'll leave you here."

Paula got out of the car and then reached out to hug Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanz in front of her.

In fact.

Their separation this time won't take too long.

After all, Chen Jin had to rush back on February 7th to attend the North American premiere of "Dallas Buyers Club".

Fortunately, they won't have to spend the Lunar New Year in a foreign land this year.

"Bye!"

"We'll wait for you to come back."

Paula waved and watched Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanzi enter the airport before leaving.

"We're home! We're home!"

Without Paula around, Zhu Yanmanz was clearly much more relaxed.

The plane gradually entered the clouds and flew towards the land they had longed for.

Just as they were about to land, the two of them slowly woke up.

After getting off the plane.

The two then walked out of the airport.

Just before boarding, Chen Jin spoke with Chen Xianqi on the phone. At this time, his father should already be waiting outside the airport.

A flash of light appeared in front of Chen Jin and the others without warning.

Before they could react, it sounded like screams were coming from outside the airport.

"Chen Jin?!"

"Holy crap! It really is Chen Jin!"

As such a sound came, Chen Jin subconsciously looked in the direction ahead.

Only then did I notice that the airport entrance had been filled with a huge crowd.

Long guns and short cannons were aimed at the direction where he and Zhu Yanmanz were.

It was obvious that news of their return to China had spread like wildfire, attracting these media reporters to stake out the area early on.

Zhu Yanmanzi couldn't help but rub her forehead.

Just thinking about the grand occasion when she went to North America gave her a huge headache.

but.

What's meant to happen will happen.

Besides the media reporters carrying cameras, there was also a group of fans holding banners.

"To add the finishing touch, I've come for you!"

"Chen Jin, fly high, we'll always be with you."

It has to be said that these fans are truly astonishing.

The fact that these media reporters are still here so late at night is undoubtedly because they want to get first-hand information.

As for these fans, they are simply doing it out of love.

As Chen Jin walked out of the airport hand in hand with Zhu Yanmanzi, the screams from the fans present grew louder and louder.

Especially this time.

Chen Jin's open expression of gratitude to Zhu Yanmanz at the Saint-Denis Film Festival was particularly exciting.

Before Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanzi could even come out, the media cameras swarmed over.

They completely surrounded the airport entrance, making it impassable.

It's worth noting that Chen Jin's return to China this time can be described as a triumphant return.

His performance in "Dallas Buyers Club" won the Jury Prize and the Audience Choice Award, which is undoubtedly his most admirable talent.

Unfortunately.

The Dallas Buyers Club does not have a performance award.

Otherwise, Chen Jin would definitely have soared to great heights.

As soon as Chen Jin stood still, all the reporters surrounded her.

"Chen Jin, what does Saint Daniels's approval mean to you?"

"How do you feel about Dallas Buyers Club winning two major awards this time?"

"Would you still be willing to play such marginalized characters in the future?"

A barrage of questions swept in, and they finally caught Chen Jin, so naturally they wouldn't let him go.

Chen Jin waved and greeted everyone present.

In general, he was already used to this situation. Filming and attending film festivals were Chen Jin's job, while getting firsthand information was the job of these media reporters.

"Winning this award was a truly unexpected and delightful surprise for me."

"It is a great honor to be able to participate in the movie 'Dallas Buyers Club'."

"If I have the opportunity in the future, I will still insist on participating."

"After all, the significance of awards has never been personal honor, but rather to allow more people to see those who are marginalized by society."

have to say.

This answer can be said to have covered all the questions from the media reporters in front of him.

His attitude was sincere and earnest.

There was absolutely no arrogance about it.

Perhaps this is Chen Jin's charm—she always exudes the most genuine emotions.

"Does your bold declaration of love for Zhu Yanmanzi at the Sundance Film Festival mean that good news is on the horizon?"

To know.

Although Chen Jin never tried to hide her relationship with Zhu Yanmanzi, she never gave a direct response.

As for this year, after announcing their relationship, the two have been interacting more and more frequently.

When suddenly asked this question, Chen Jin turned her head to look at Zhu Yanmanzi.

There was a clear question in his eyes and brows.

They never choose to discuss their feelings openly, because dating is a private matter and there's no need to make it public knowledge.

Now that everyone has asked this question, Chen Jin suddenly realized that although they have been together for so long, they have never given a direct answer to this question before.

"We will still prioritize our careers for now."

"If something good is coming soon, I will let you know in advance."

Upon hearing Chen Jin's reply, Zhu Yanmanzi subconsciously looked over.

She hadn't expected Chen Jin to respond to this. In the past, whenever reporters asked about their relationship, Chen Jin would always avoid the topic.

Wow!

Following Chen Jin's response, the expressions of those present became noticeably excited and agitated.

After answering a few more questions, Chen Jin pulled Zhu Yanmanzi out of the crowd.

Zhu Yanmanzi followed quietly behind, clearly in a good mood.

"My youngest son."

Chen Xianqi's voice came from behind them. Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanz turned around and looked over. Their expressions clearly changed to surprise and delight.

"Uncle, what brings you here?"

Zhu Yanmanz quickly walked up to Chen Xianqi, who raised an eyebrow at Chen Jin and gave an OK sign in a corner where Zhu Yanmanz couldn't see.

"Xiao Jin called me before boarding the plane, thinking you should be landing soon, so she came to pick you up."

"Come on! Your aunt has already prepared dinner at home and is just waiting for you to go back."

The three of them got into the car.

The whole process was very pleasant.

It had been a long time since their last meeting, but thankfully Zhu Yanmanz was by Chen Jin's side, which put them at ease.

"He truly is my son!"

“I watched the entire live broadcast of your award ceremony from beginning to end.”

Chen Jin smiled; his family's praise was undoubtedly the motivation for his efforts.

The car came to an abrupt stop.

By the time Zhu Yanmanz looked over, they had already returned to Chen Jin's home.

"I'm back!"

Su Wanyu waved her hand hurriedly, but before she could even reach the door, the door was already opened from the outside.

"Auntie, we're back."

Upon hearing Zhu Yanmanz's voice, Su Wanyu went straight to greet her.

"Zzz, how did you get so thin?"

Compared to when they left last time, Zhu Yanmanzi has indeed lost some weight.

After all, the food in North America can't compare to that in China, and with the daily hustle and bustle, it's natural to have little time to take care of one's diet.

"It's alright, Auntie."

Su Wanyu truly treats Zhu Yanmanzi like her own child.

At this moment, all I can feel is heartache.

Especially since this child has been separated from his family for most of the time because of Chen Jin.

"Wash your hands and eat first. We can talk about it at the table."

Su Wanyu pulled Zhu Yanmanzi toward the restaurant, while Chen Jin behind them looked helpless.

She was carrying two suitcases and had no chance to receive her mother's care.

but--

He didn't seem to have any reaction to it.

After all, Zhu Yanmanz and he were of one mind and heart, and it was more important for the two of them to be together.

Su Wanyu pulled Zhu Yanmanz to sit in a seat with her back to the restaurant.

This made Zhu Yanmanz somewhat suspicious, as she felt that Chen Jin's parents seemed to be hiding something today.

Just then, a hand placed a plate of twice-cooked pork on the table.

The sudden turn of events left Zhu Yanmanz stunned.

When she turned around again, she realized that her parents had somehow appeared there.

"Mom and Dad, what brings you here?"

Zhu Yanmanz suddenly stood up at the dining table.

Her expression was one of extraordinary surprise. She had felt a little dejected when she first returned, as she had finally made it back to the capital but couldn't go home immediately.

But who would have thought?

Yan Ning reached out and pulled Zhu Yanmanz in front of her, her smile quite gentle.

"Xiao Chen specifically asked your uncle to pick us up."

Mr. Zhu patted his daughter on the shoulder. He was indeed somewhat surprised when Chen Jin called them.

After all, the fact that Zhu Yanmanzi could think so much about her own daughter is enough to prove her status in Chen Jin's heart.

“I was thinking that we hadn’t had the chance to celebrate the Lunar New Year at home for the past two years, and now that we’re finally back, it’s a good opportunity for everyone to have a good time together.”

Chen Jin's words were very sincere.

In short, this was the only solution he could think of that was both good and bad.

This way, they don't have to separate the two of them, and they can still spend the New Year with their parents.

Actually.

He was fully aware of all the sacrifices Zhu Yanmanzi had made for him.

Every time I return from North America, I always go back to their home first. After being away from home for so long, who wouldn't miss their parents?

Tears streamed down Zhu Yanmanz's face.

Chen Jin never told her about this matter from beginning to end.

So much so that when his mother appeared beside him just now, it felt like a dream.

"Silly child, why are you crying?"

Yan Ning wiped away Zhu Yanmanz's tears, her eyes overflowing with heartache.

This child basically comes back extremely thin every time he goes to North America.

A mother must see it all and feel the pain in her heart.

"You didn't even discuss it with me!"

Zhu Yanmanzi looked in Chen Jin's direction with red eyes, and her words made everyone present laugh.

"Alright, let's eat first."

"Let's whisper sweet nothings after we've eaten our fill."

Su Wanyu pulled Yan Ning and Zhu Yanmanz to the dining table, and then everyone took their seats.

"Come on, zizi."

"Have a bowl of hot chicken soup first. Were you freezing when you came back from outside?"

The two sets of parents had already met before, so there wasn't much restraint between them.

soon.

The atmosphere at the dinner table became increasingly joyful and harmonious!
