Who says Beijing Film Academy has no great directors? (2002)

Chapter 97 Close Friend Yao Beina

On December 10th, Zhang Jincheng suddenly told himself that the 13th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival was about to hold its awards ceremony.

Chen Yan hadn't paid attention before, but when he asked, he found out that it was before he had fallen out with those old guys. It would be better not to go now, because Lu Chuan would probably go.

If I don't go myself, who knows what nonsense the media will spout.

The Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival was originally scheduled to open in September, but it was postponed until now because it was the last time that both awards would be presented at the same time.

Chen Yan gently patted his forehead: "I really have to go."

"Okay, I understand." Chen Yan hung up the phone.

He cursed inwardly, thinking that all the Golden Rooster judges were from Lu Chuan's faction, and it would be a miracle if they gave him a big prize.

Chen Yan has two films nominated: "Heartbreak" and "Love".

I checked online and found that "Love" was nominated for 7 Golden Rooster Awards, while the Hundred Flowers Awards announced its nominees in advance and is now calling for votes online.

In previous years, the results would be announced in advance, but starting from this year, the Hundred Flowers Awards will be announced on the spot.

Chen Yan called Liu Yifei, "Qianqian, 'Heartbreak' has been nominated for the Hundred Flowers Awards, please take leave and come back!"

Liu Yifei is also someone who doesn't use the internet, yet she keeps going to one film crew after another.

She was also shocked: "Oh! I have a chance too?"

Hearing Liu Yifei's surprised voice, Chen Yan thought that going was a good choice, after all, Liu probably dreamed of winning a Best Actress award.

Chen Yan chuckled lightly: "Yeah, I hope Zhang Jizhong won't secretly curse me behind my back, saying that I drag you back every now and then."

Liu Yifei chuckled. She had indeed noticed that the security measures on set were much stricter than before these past two days.

Especially when I'm on set, the production assistants keep a close eye on me, afraid that something might happen to me.

"Then I'll go back with Mom!"

"Okay, I'll pick you up when you arrive."

Thinking about picking someone up, Chen Yan suddenly remembered that he should hurry up and get a driver's license when he's less busy, and then get a car for getting around, otherwise it would be too inconvenient to travel.

"Okay." Liu Yifei smiled and sat on her long-used recliner, swinging her legs.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yifei leaned back in her recliner, holding her phone, feeling incredibly relaxed.

"What's wrong? Why are you so happy?"

Upon hearing the voice, Liu Yifei snapped her eyes open and reflexively put on a fake smile: "Honey."

"It's nothing, I just had a great time resting." Liu Yifei subconsciously didn't mention that she was going back to Beijing to participate in the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival.

She felt that she and Yang Mi probably didn't click and could never become friends.

Yang Mi's eyes crinkled into a smile after hearing this, and she took a few quick steps to Liu Yifei's side: "I'm taking the entrance exam for the Beijing Film Academy next year, who knows, we might end up being classmates!"

"That's great!" Liu Yifei congratulated her casually.

Yang Mi felt slightly dissatisfied. Since she had already said this, of course she wanted to film a movie with Chen Yan.

He cursed inwardly that Liu Yifei was too slow to warm up; she couldn't even tell that.

I could only be more direct: "I heard you're quite familiar with Director Chen? Could you introduce me to him sometime?"

Liu Yifei didn't stutter. Of the ten actors she met during this time, eleven wanted to meet Chen Yan through her.

"There's a chance," Liu Yifei said, not giving a definitive answer.

When she encounters situations like this, she just brushes it off with a casual remark.

Yang Mi's face was already slightly annoyed, but Liu Yifei pretended not to notice.

"Then I'll thank you in advance," Yang Mi could only say.

Liu Yifei gave a silly smile and didn't reply.

Instead, they continued to lie down, making the most of their rare free time.

When Yang Mi saw that she had actually closed her eyes and was about to go to sleep, she stood up in anger.

His eyes darted around, but he still left.

Liu Yifei heard footsteps and opened one eye to peek.

Seeing that she had left, he immediately closed his eyes again.

She muttered under her breath, "Chen Yan is a scoundrel, always flirting with women!"

After Yang Mi went out, she ran into Huang Xiaoming, who was about to return to rest.

They didn't give the other party a friendly look either.

Huang Xiaoming, on the other hand, took the initiative to greet Yang Mi.

"Mimi, what's wrong?" Huang Xiaoming was a shrewd person, and he noticed the displeasure on Yang Mi's face with just a glance.

Yang Mi quickly forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, Brother Xiaoming, I'm just thinking about the acting."

But Huang Xiaoming didn't believe it at all, glancing at the direction she came from.

He understood.

"Okay, I'll go rest now."

Yang Mi nodded.

When Huang Xiaoming reached his rest area, he suddenly turned a corner and came to Liu Yifei and the others' rest area.

There were bodyguards standing at the door.

The bodyguards didn't stop him when they saw it was Huang Xiaoming.

Huang Xiaoming knocked on the door. "Yifei?"

Upon hearing Huang Xiaoming's voice, Liu Yifei quickly stood up: "Brother Xiaoming?"

Huang Xiaoming walked in with an apologetic smile. "Did I disturb your rest?"

Liu Yifei smiled sweetly, "No, no, I was just resting with my eyes closed."

Ever since Huang Xiaoming helped her when the assistant director bullied her last time, Liu Yifei has had a much better impression of him.

Liu Xiaoli would often say, "Xiaoming is a good kid. If you have something urgent and your mother isn't on set, go find him first."

Huang Xiaoming didn't mention that he saw Yang Mi looking unhappy on the way.

Instead, we talked about other things and chatted casually.

He just wanted to get closer to Liu Yifei, but his real purpose was Chen Yan. However, Huang Xiaoming was much smarter; he never brought up Chen Yan.

However, Liu Yifei would occasionally mention him.

Huang Xiaoming laughed and said, "Yes, that roast duck in Beijing is really delicious. Let's get together in Beijing when we have the chance."

Liu Yifei swallowed. Because of filming, she had been eating very healthy food lately and hadn't had such a hearty meal in a long time.

"Okay, okay!" She was thinking of asking Chen Yan if he wanted to come along.

Huang Xiaoming's description of roast duck looks really tempting.

After saying hello, Huang Xiaoming naturally got up and left.

Liu Yifei couldn't sleep at all; her mind was filled with images of golden, crispy, and irresistibly fragrant roast duck.

At this moment, Liu Yifei noticed a new message in her QQ account.

Upon clicking, I saw Yao Beina, whom I hadn't seen in a long time.

"Sisi, when are you going back to the capital? Come visit me sometime!"

Yao Beina is currently attending regular classes in the Vocal Music Department of Beijing Conservatory of Music, where she is working on her musical "Jinsha".

Liu Yifei: "Sister Beina, are you free lately? I called you when I went back to Beijing before, but you wouldn't come."

Yao Beina: "I was so busy the other day, I didn't have any time at all, little sister!"

If you're in Beijing next year, I'd like to invite you to see my musical.

Liu Yifei cheerfully replied, "Okay."

Then, remembering something, she added, "Oh right, I'll be back in a few days. When I have time, I'll bring a friend to meet you."

She remembered that Chen Yan had just said a couple of days ago that he wanted to find a girl with a voice that told a story to sing a few songs.

Looking at it now, isn't Sister Bella already a ready-made solution?

Yao Beina: "Sure, call me when you come back."

Liu Yifei: "OK!"
