I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

The deadline for submitting the manuscript is approaching. Jingyi started typing slowly a month in advance. The second part of A Song of Ice and Fire, A Clash of Kings, has a total of 71 chapters and more than 570,000 words.

Add to that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Jingyi never wanted to face that typewriter again. No one else could copy books like her!

Now she doesn't need to ask Tingting to deliver the manuscript. She just needs to make a phone call and Warner Books will send someone to pick it up by plane with a password box.

This year is the first Shanghai International Film Festival. Jingyi had already received an invitation from the organizing committee to serve as a judge for this year's film festival.

The Shanghai International Film Festival is one of the 15 international A-level film festivals recognized by the International Producers Association. The highest award is the Golden Goblet Award, which consists of eight awards, which are judged by judges from various countries.

This first international film festival had more than 20 films from all over the world participating. After a month of watching the films, the jury unanimously voted that the film "Hills Without Words" from Taiwan won the Best Film.

Im Kwon-taek from South Korea won the Best Director award for his film "A Song of Elegy". The Best Actor award went to De Clair from Belgium, and Oh Jung-hae from South Korea won the Best Actress award.

The Shanghai International Film Festival was halfway through when Molly suddenly received a call from her family asking her to return to Hong Kong for some matters. Seeing that it was almost the end of the year, Jingyi gave her a year-end leave in advance.

After the film festival came to an end, Jingyi originally planned to return to Hong Kong. But when she was standing on the streets of Shanghai, she suddenly heard the long-lost accent of her hometown. This gave her a strange idea!

Is there a past self in this world? This thought suddenly popped up in her mind and she couldn't get rid of it.

Her hometown in her previous life was not far from Jiangnan City. She was born in 1991. If she existed in this world, she would be only two years old now. Her mother Fang Lei is only 26 years old this year, not even older than she is now.

She didn't care if the grandmother paradox would happen! She took a taxi and headed straight to the nearby city of Jiangnan.

When the taxi was halfway there, Jingyi started to panic again. She tried to ask the driver to stop the car several times, but her curiosity made her insist. Finally, after more than two hours of driving, the taxi arrived in Jiangnan City.

This is the famous Jiangnan water town, the pearl of Taihu Lake. Jingyi walked alone on the unfamiliar street, and her ears were filled with the soft voice of Wu Nong, which she was very familiar with.

She first went to a famous old restaurant and had an authentic hometown meal from her previous life. It tasted exactly the same as in her previous life! Since she had to take off her sunglasses and mask to eat, she was recognized by the diners soon.

She was immediately surrounded by fans who came to ask for her autograph. The restaurant manager hurried out to have people maintain order, otherwise the business would be gone.

It took her more than two hours to sneak out of the back door of the kitchen under the guidance of the restaurant manager.

Although this place was different from her memory, some of the place names and street names had not changed. She looked at the street signs along the way and soon found the family compound of the Municipal Song and Dance Troupe.

Standing at the gate of this very familiar family compound, Jingyi was extremely excited. She adjusted her breathing and wanted to walk in, but was stopped by the doorman.

"Master, I'm going to Room 303, Building to look for Cheng Yunxian." Jingyi didn't know the doorman, so she could only give the house number first.

"Room 303, Building , it looks like his surname isn't Cheng?" the doorman muttered to himself in confusion.

At this time, an old lady came in with a basket of vegetables. The doorman quickly asked her, "Team leader, you're here just in time. Is your surname Cheng in Room 303, Building ?"

"Cheng Yunxian, he plays the violin in the orchestra. His wife is Fang Lei!" Jingyi added some details.

The old lady shook her head and said, "It's definitely not the right room. You've got the wrong one. I live on the second floor. I'm also the head of the resident group here. I know everyone in this building. Teacher Li lives in Room 303. He's a choreographer."

Jingyi was stunned! She was born and raised here in her previous life! How could she be so wrong?

"Is there anyone named Cheng Yunxian in other buildings? Or Fang Lei. Fang Lei is a piano teacher at the city children's palace." Jingyi was still not giving up and asked the old lady who was the team leader.

The leader of the old lady's group thought about it for a while, and replied to her firmly: "We don't have the two people you mentioned in our family compound! Why don't you go to the city song and dance troupe and ask them?"

Jingyi came out of the alley in the family compound in a daze. Now that she was here, she had to get things straight.

She waved and called a taxi, asking the driver to take her to the City Children's Palace. Twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the City Children's Palace. She was very familiar with this place, after all, this was where she learned piano when she was a child.

Jingyi got off the car and asked the security guard at the reception room if the piano teacher Fang Lei was still there. But the security guard's answer completely shattered her hopes.

"The piano teacher here is surnamed Zhu, and there is no teacher surnamed Fang."

This is definitely not the world of my previous life. Why should I be so persistent?

Jingyi stomped her feet and turned away! She hailed a taxi and went to Jinling overnight, stayed at the Jinling Hotel for a day, and flew back to Hong Kong.

Handled some affairs in Hong Kong, shot a new endorsement advertisement, attended some charity auctions, and entertained several celebrity banquets.

It was the time for the award ceremonies at the beginning of the year again, and she received invitations every day, either asking her to be the guest of honor or to be a judge.

This year, Hollywood movies took up three of the top ten box office rankings in Hong Kong: "True Lies," "Speed," and "Forrest Gump."

Zhou Xingxing is still continuing his box office miracle. This year, three of his starring movies also entered the top ten box office rankings: "From Beijing with Love", "King of Destruction", and "Justice, My Foot". But this year, Lou Jingyi was not in the film, and he still won nothing in the Hong Kong Film Awards.

This year's Hong Kong Film Awards' Best Film went to "Prisoners in Cages", the Best Director went to Cheung Chi-leung, the Best Actor went to Tony Leung Ka-fai, and the Best Actress went to Cheung Man-yuk.

Jingyi looked at the two bosses of Yongsheng Film Company, who were sitting there with dark faces. She almost laughed out loud! Commercial films are just box office hits but not good sales, while art films may not have box office but they are artistic and can easily win awards.

A few days later, the Hong Kong Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Awards Ceremony came again. Jingyi attended as a judge this time!

In this selection of the top ten Chinese golden songs, the four kings are all on the list, including Zhang Xueyou's "I Just Want to Follow You for the Rest of My Life", Andy Lau's "Going to Have Fun Alone", Leon Lai's "Summer Passion", and Guo Fucheng's "Wild City".

This year, Beyond released the famous song "Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies". Jingyi, as a judge, did not hesitate to put this classic song at the top of the list. She also filled in Beyond's name on the list of the most popular male singers.

Unfortunately, there were twelve judges in total, and they couldn't vote together. She didn't have the final say! As a result, this classic song "Boundless Oceans and Sky" only ranked seventh on this year's Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Chart. Zhang Xueyou also won the Most Popular Male Singer Award.
