She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

Similar to the Berlin Film Festival, there will also be an exclusive after-party for industry celebrities after the César Awards ceremony.

Su Lingxi decisively found a decent reason to decline the seemingly enthusiastic invitations from others: on the one hand, she knew herself well and realized that she was just a supporting role who came here tonight; on the other hand, she had already talked to the people she wanted to make friends with and had all the information she wanted to know. Instead of staying here and wasting time drinking and partying, she wanted to return to the hotel as soon as possible to review the key information she had received tonight with the rest of the team.

"How much do you think you can believe what Mirren said?" After Su Lingxi finished her narration, silence returned to the room and Yang Qian's expression became a little solemn.

"I don't know, but there's no need for her to make up something to deceive me, right?" Su Lingxi asked hesitantly, "She doesn't seem like that kind of person."

"It sounds like you can easily characterize a person with just a few words and quickly create a character profile for him or her. Honey, this is not a good habit." On the other end of the phone, Eva, who was participating in their "small meeting" in an alternative way, snorted softly.

"You and Mirren have only known each other for a few hours, and you can easily make a judgment about her character?"

"What if she's just showing you the way she wants to be? You'll miss out on the real information because you trust her."

Eva put away her previous casual tone and suddenly became serious, "Here, you can never easily trust someone at any time - especially those who come from Hollywood."

"That's advice I hope you'll remember."

Eva's words were not sharp, but Su Lingxi felt inexplicably embarrassed - she realized belatedly that she might not have fully understood the basic rules of the game.

"I'm sorry, I'm too arrogant." Su Lingxi said cautiously, "My judgment is based on the premise that all her information is absolutely true. If all this is unreliable, then-"

"We are lucky this time. According to the information I received, Greta Mirren is not the kind of person who would make up lies to tease others." Eva paused, and her tone returned to the lazy tone that everyone else was accustomed to. "She is trustworthy for now, but you should also know that the nomination list is not decided by the jury, but by the judging committee."

Yang Qian's tense brows relaxed a little, "That means, according to what Mirren revealed, we do have a high chance of being shortlisted for the main competition unit."

"From the current perspective, that's right." Eva cleared her throat on the other end of the phone. "The winner of the last César Award for Best Director completely overlapped with the winner of the Cannes Film Festival. Other awards have also seen similar situations. The fact that 'Paris at Night' has received three nominations at the César Awards this time shows that local filmmakers are still optimistic about this film. It's only a matter of time before it's nominated for the Cannes Film Festival."

"But being nominated is one thing, but it's hard to say whether you'll win an acting award or another award in the end."

Su Lingxi rubbed his temples and clearly felt that the slightly relaxed atmosphere in the room became stagnant again.

Eva's words were blunt, but not without reason.

The Cannes Film Festival and the Berlin Film Festival generally have the same rules. The list of nominees for the main competition unit will be announced one month in advance in mid-April each year, and the specific winners of each award will not be revealed until the closing day of the film festival.

The Palme d'Or, the Grand Jury Prize, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actress... these awards all belong to the main competition unit. Even if "Paris at Night" appears on the nomination list, it does not mean that the leading actress will definitely win the award in the end.

"Celina won the Best Director award two years ago. It's impossible for Cannes to give her the Best Director or Best Screenplay award this year. Besides, the atmosphere of the whole film "Paris at Night" is destined to make it miss the Palme d'Or. This is obvious." Yang Qian's brows have never relaxed. "Although it has a bad ending, the theme of the film is still mostly about love. The overall tone is uplifting. It doesn't talk about those profound truths, nor does it reveal any outrageous social phenomena - it won't be the lucky one favored by the judges."

"Oh, so you mean that the jury doesn't think highly of Selina's masterpiece?" Eva chuckled. "Since you think so, there's no need to spend money and energy on publicizing the award. It's just a low-probability event in your eyes anyway, isn't it?"

Su Lingxi noticed that Eva's tone was a bit aggressive. Before the atmosphere became more tense, she quickly spoke up: "Mirren's attitude alone doesn't mean much. I also met Julia Favino today. I think her reaction... is a bit weird."

"Weird? What do you mean?" Yang Qian was in no mood to care about Eva's tone at this time, so she turned to ask following Su Lingxi's words.

"she……"

Su Lingxi recalled the obvious flattery she had used when she was chatting up the other person, and the other person's enthusiastic attitude in return, and was speechless for a moment. After another two minutes, she told the whole story from beginning to end.

After hearing the whole story, Yang Qian was silent for a moment. "Even if you were really nominated, she wouldn't have to start currying favors for us so early, right?"

Although Giulia Favino is not well-known internationally, she is considered a representative of talented actresses in Europe. Although she is not as popular as young actors, she has status and connections.

Su Lingxi was not so confident that she thought a Cannes nomination would be enough to make her enthusiastic enough to welcome her with a smile.

But it doesn't make sense to say that she knew some more crucial information - at this point in time, the Cannes jury should have just picked out the nomination list, which had not been made public, nor had they had time to convene the jury members to watch the films together for selection.

Su Lingxi couldn't understand why she suddenly seemed to like him so much.

"There's no need to be suspicious about this. Maybe she just wants to build a good relationship with you, the future 'Hollywood star'." Eva disagreed. "She must have heard about the rumors about you and Cowen. You know, there are many actors in Europe who want to squeeze into Hollywood."
