She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

"Do you remember what Kubrick said about The Inverse Judgment?" Su Lingxi's voice became more powerful as his chaotic thoughts came into focus. "I guess he didn't plan to sign Anita Brown so early in the beginning. For some unknown reason, he was forced to disrupt his plan and had to sign the actor in advance."

"The reason why he spoke well of me in front of the media was probably because he wanted to make amends for Greta."

Her eyes were firm and focused, and her analysis was very logical. Yang Qian unconsciously believed her 80% and the anger in her heart had disappeared without a trace.

"Unknown reason?" Yang Xi thought about it and her expression changed slightly: "Could it be that Brown's manager deliberately put pressure on Kubrick? Her agency contract and film and television contracts are all signed with CAA. Now she is managed by Robert Bob himself. He has a lot of say in the circle."

When things developed to this point, Su Lingxi calmed down instead, "I don't know, maybe there is such a possibility."

"It's not clear what role Brown plays in this matter, but it's a done deal and there's no need for us to panic because of this role," she said calmly. "The most important thing now is Cannes."

Hearing these words suddenly, Yang Qian felt mixed emotions.

After a few seconds of silence, she nodded helplessly, "You're right, we shouldn't waste any more time on this."

After confirming her condition, Su Lingxi returned to her seat in the inner field, still wearing the mask of gentleness and politeness on her face. Only she knew how painful it was to suddenly lose her role.

In recent years, she has become famous very quickly. Although she has paid a lot, compared with other people of her age, she can be considered a lucky person who has had smooth sailing.

If you have been going smoothly for too long, once you encounter setbacks, all kinds of negative emotions will be unconsciously magnified.

For example, last year when Liv Morton kicked him off the shortlist, and today.

The passive attitude of being caught off guard by the news is really annoying and powerless.

And what a coincidence, both events happened during the Cannes Film Festival.

It was just a fateful coincidence.

...I hope this year's Best Actress award won't be another "upset" like last year.

Su Lingxi sighed, put aside all distracting thoughts, and tried to adjust her mentality.

Seriously speaking, this wasn't really a big deal - after all, from the beginning, Kubrick hadn't agreed to give her the role, he just agreed to let her audition to give it a try.

Between her and Anita Brown, who has been nominated for three major productions at the Gao Awards, everyone would choose the latter.

This is a very realistic result.

She could only learn to accept it.

"Su, long time no see?"

When Su Lingxi reacted, Verina Melode, who was not far away, had already walked towards her with a smile and opened her arms. "Your look tonight is really unique."

"You too, Melody, very nice dress." Su Lingxi smiled politely.

The two ignored the cameras that were waiting nearby and kissed each other affectionately and considerately.

"I told you, you can just call me Verina." Verina smiled and lifted her hair. The champagne-colored dress made her look radiant. "You know what? Director Driesen just talked to us about you. It sounds like he thinks you are the best candidate in this year's competition."

"Thank you very much for his support." Su Lingxi smiled slightly and answered politely and distantly, "But I think the judges will have their own judgments, and everything will be solved in an hour."

Jeremy Bell, who was strongly supported by Andrea Driessen, was snatched away the Silver Bear Award by her. Su Lingxi is very self-aware in this regard. She is lucky enough that she is not hated by the other party. There is no need to expect others to say anything good about her.

"Of course, but..." Verina's eyes showed a hint of teasing, and she dragged out her voice meaningfully, "Our dear chairman, Martin Kubrick, seems to be very optimistic about you, too?"

This question was very sharp, and Su Lingxi was sure that she must have learned some news before coming.

"Right now, I just hope that 'The Inverse Judgment' can take advantage of the popularity of Cannes to get good box office results. As for other things, I haven't thought about it too much for the time being." Su Lingxi cut off the subject without hesitation and smiled at her apologetically.

Verina also laughed, her tone returning to normal, "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously, okay?"

Su Lingxi smiled back.

Whether it was a real joke or just a test, everyone was not a newcomer to the circle and knew it well.

Soon, as the entrance music sounded, the two returned to their seats and waited quietly for the ceremony to officially begin.

"Do you feel it?" After they sat down, Kitagawa Yoshiko whispered in her ear, "Someone seems to be here with bad intentions today."

Su Lingxi glanced at Verina, who was only two seats away from him, and said, "I didn't feel anything else. I just felt the organizer's bad taste."

The seats for the two of them were deliberately arranged so close to each other. Those people from the Film Association really just wanted to watch the fun and make trouble.

Kitagawa Yoshiko smiled and raised her head, meeting her eyes. "Maybe this is the trouble of being a celebrity and being a hot topic?"

"Relax, at least they didn't do that to arrange her to sit next to you, right?" Kitagawa Ryoko shrugged. "If that were the case, think about it, we would definitely lose the freedom to chat here."

While the two were chatting, the award ceremony officially began.

As usual, after the drowsy speech by the festival president Thierry Fremaux, the host's humorous remarks soon heated up the venue again, and the atmosphere in the venue gradually became higher until the awards ceremony began.

The start of the award ceremony seemed like a signal that something was about to happen. After Su Lingxi went to the lounge and came back, she could clearly feel that the camera was falling on her more frequently.

Fortunately, she and Vina had anticipated this situation, and both of them reacted very calmly, clapping when they should applaud and laughing when they should laugh, and there was nothing obvious that could be found wrong.

"Short Film Palme d'Or, Cornerstone Award, Camera d'Or, Critics' Week, Directors' Fortnight, Jury Prize..." The awards ceremony at the Cannes Film Festival is very fast, starting with the minor awards and gradually transitioning to the important awards that the media pays the most attention to.

Finally, after much anticipation, the first heavyweight award of the main competition unit was announced: the Best Screenplay Award.

"...And the Best Screenplay goes to——" The award presenter paused, opened the envelope, and did not forget to give a surprised smile to the camera - as if the name printed on the card surprised him.
