She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

The next day, the French César Awards ceremony was held on time at the Grand Théâtre du Chatelet in Paris.

The Grand Chatelet Theatre has a long history. This magnificent building has witnessed the ups and downs of France over the past three centuries. The interior decoration is elegant and gorgeous, with a timeless sense of history.

Of course, compared to the theater itself, the nominees for the César Awards are a star-studded sight tonight.

Although the César Awards mainly recognize the achievements in the field of French film art and technology, this does not mean that it will completely restrict nationality - in fact, as long as they participate in French film projects, actors, screenwriters or directors from any country may win the award.

This led to Su Lingxi meeting many acquaintances whom she had met once before at the Berlin Film Festival when she entered the inner venue.

After all, it is well known that the film industries of European countries do not distinguish between you and me, and often cooperate in projects.

Fortunately, after a brief greeting, Su Lingxi turned around and met a blonde woman walking out from the corner.

Slightly darker blonde hair, light brown eyes, a three-dimensional and high nose bridge, and a flaring jawline...

Su Lingxi was sure that she should be the American actress and director, president of the jury of this year's Cannes Film Festival, Greta Mirren.

Before attending the award ceremony, Su Lingxi did some research on Greta Mirren and Julia Favino.

Greta Mirren is a native American who has been in the Hollywood circle since her debut. However, unlike other actresses, she became a film producer in the third year of her debut. Since then, she has been nominated for a Golden Globe Award and an Oscar for a comedy film in which she starred, but unfortunately she failed to win any of the awards.

Since 2015, Greta has often appeared in front of people as a screenwriter and director. Many of her feature films written and directed by her have achieved remarkable results in various countries. She is also the first American female director in the history of Cannes to serve as the president of the jury.

There is no doubt that this is an all-round filmmaker.

Rumor has it that Greta Mirren is a persistent and brave woman. She waited patiently for a whole year to get the qualification to direct "Tess". Even when the film producer had already determined the director candidate, Mirren did not give up the fight and finally got the director qualification with her outstanding script adaptation ability.

It is widely rumored in Hollywood that the reason why Laura Adams got the role of Tess was because her persistence in fighting for the role moved Mirren and made her see the precious tenacity in this girl.

Su Lingxi didn't know whether the rumor was true or not, but based on her preliminary judgment, she guessed that Mirren might be more inclined to make friends with people who were decisive and efficient in doing things.

Action is worse than fantasy. Su Lingxi didn't hesitate for too long. She smiled and turned to greet him, switching her language from French to English. "Hello, Director Mirren. I've seen Tess and The Musketeers, both of which you directed. They are two great movies. I'm glad to meet you here tonight."

Frankly speaking, Su Lingxi's opening remarks were a bit stiff, not quite in line with the conventional social rules of the Western world, and not humorous enough.

But it is obvious that her face is not completely unrecognizable - at least not unfamiliar to Greta Mirren.

"Su? I never thought you knew me." Greta Mirren smiled at her warmly. "Did you enjoy working with Selina? She has a very difficult temper."

Yes, this is the social rule that the Western world is familiar with, starting with chatting about family, friends or work updates, and getting to the point at the end.

Su Lingxi pulled the corners of her lips and said, "Selina is a very good director. Although everyone secretly calls her a tyrant on the set, it is indeed very beneficial to work with her."

Hearing the term "set tyrant", Mirren laughed, "Well, it seems that she has completely captured your heart with her personality charm. I am really looking forward to the release of your movie. Is it this year? It should be available this year, right?"

Su Lingxi understood what she meant and immediately responded, "The film has been completed. The premiere should be held during the Cannes Film Festival. If you are free, I would be happy to send you an invitation."

"You are exactly like the rumors say, a smart and quick girl." Mirren joked with a smile, and then changed the subject, "But - May is a very busy month for me. You know, during the Cannes Awards, the jury members don't have much free time, so I'm sorry that I can't give you an accurate answer at the moment."

"Oh, this is such sad news." Su Lingxi showed a slightly disappointed expression at the right time, but soon returned to normal. "Anyway, I hope our meeting in Cannes will be as pleasant as this one."

"Of course, girl, I'm looking forward to seeing your new film first in the hotel suite." Mirren smiled and blinked, his eyes quite meaningful, "In that case, maybe we will have more topics to talk about, right?"

If "Paris at Night" is shortlisted for the main competition unit of Cannes, then Greta Mirren, as the president of the jury, will naturally be able to watch the entire film in advance when the competition films are selected, without having to attend the subsequent premiere.

Mirren believed that the smart young girl in front of him could understand his subtext.

"Obviously, that's one of the most anticipated situations for me." Su Lingxi smiled playfully, but there was a lingering melancholy in her eyes. "But not everything in this world can go as planned. Selina often said that luck is the most unpredictable thing. You don't know when it will come to you mercifully, and you don't know when it will quietly leave."

Both of them are smart people. Even if Su Lingxi wants to test the waters, there is no need to say too much.

I'll borrow Selina's name and stop at the right time.

I guess Greta Mirren knew her purpose from the moment she came over to say hello.

Everyone in the audience knew that "Paris at Night" was an ambitious work aimed at Cannes, and Greta was probably no exception.

"Ah, I have to take back that compliment, Nicole. Now your cleverness is starting to give me a headache." Mirren shook his head helplessly, and then paused, "Of course, luck is something that people can't figure out in their entire lives, but there are some things that we can control ourselves."

"Besides, everything is still unknown now, so where does Selina's 'bad luck theory' come from?"

"Maybe the lucky person in the end is exactly her. Come to think of it, this possibility is not impossible."

Mirren said this with a perfectly mysterious smile.
