Chapter 395 - Interview

Sniff, sniff. The taste was quite good.

Lu Shanhe said, “Manxi, can I have this bowl of chicken soup?”

Gu Manxi smiled and said, “Of course. Mr. Lu, please wait a moment. I’ll heat it up for you.”

Soon, a bowl of steaming hot chicken soup was served on the table. Lu Shanhe took a sip. The taste was delicious. The chicken soup was rich, and the taste of the Chinese medicine was not pungent.

Lu Shanhe gulped down the entire bowl and exclaimed, “Manxi, your culinary skills are getting better and better. I haven’t tasted your chicken soup for a long time. I really miss those days.”

Gu Manxi covered her mouth and laughed. She explained, “This is Song Chen’s chicken soup.”

Lu Shanhe: “...”

Is it too late to go to the toilet and spit it out now?

Lu Shanhe had not been busy recently. The box office results after the release of the movie had been quite eye-catching. There were occasional interviews, which did not delay his daily rest. Lu Shanhe began to talk about business. “Manxi, if nothing goes wrong, ‘The Return of Spring Breeze’ will be sent to the domestic and international film festivals for competition. Yesterday, I received news that it has been shortlisted for the selection of Capital Film Festival.”

Gu Manxi sat up straight. “The film festival?”

The Capital Film Festival started a month ago. It was the grandest film festival event in the country.

The film festival had more than ten awards: Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Art, Best Voicing, Best Supporting Actress/Supporting Actor, and so on.

Among them, the most popular ones were naturally “Best Actress” and “Best Actor”.

“Our movie has received many nominations.” Lu Shanhe crossed his legs and smiled smugly, “If the judges aren’t crazy, this year’s Best Actress- I mean, Best Actor is still Jiang Cheng. His acting skills are impeccable. Of course, as for Best Actress... Manxi, your opponents aren’t weak.”

Gu Manxi contributed her superb acting skills to this movie, playing two roles at the same time.

However, the other actresses who were nominated for Best Actress weren’t weak either. Among them was an old actor in her seventies.

Lu Shanhe said, “Manxi, whether you win the Best Actress award or not, in my heart, you will always be my best actress.”

Jiang Cheng stood up. “The waiter has delivered dinner. I’ll go open the door.”

Jiang Cheng opened the hotel door and the waiter pushed the sumptuous dinner in. The room was immediately filled with the tempting aroma of food. Lu Shanhe had just drunk a bowl of chicken soup, but his stomach was still growling, and his attention was instantly taken away by the food.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

They had a happy dinner.

While eating, he chatted with Gu Manxi about the film festival.

Lu Shanhe also said, “There’s something really strange. You guys know about the Clear Sky Award, right? The Clear Sky Award is a world-class film award. In the past, awards ceremonies were held in Europe and the United States. This year, for some unknown reason, the organizers of the Clear Sky Award decided to hold an award ceremony in the capital.”

“Our film will also be sent to the organizing committee of the Clear Sky Award. I reckon that it will be nominated and win one or two awards.”

Lu Shanhe mumbled as they ate and talked.

Jiang Cheng was playing with his phone by the side as if he was texting someone.

After dinner, Lu Shanhe was about to speak freely with Gu Manxi when his phone rang. He had received an interview invitation from a certain official!

“Strange, XX TV has never interviewed me before. Why did they specifically ask to interview me and Jiang Cheng this time?” Lu Shanhe was puzzled.

Jiang Cheng said calmly, “XX TV is quite influential in the film industry. We should go for this interview.”

Lu Shanhe pursed his lips. For the sake of the film, he had no choice but to bid farewell to Gu Manxi. He repeatedly reminded her to take good care of her health before reluctantly leaving.

Gu Manxi sent them downstairs and secretly asked Jiang Cheng, “Were you the one who helped him get the interview?”

Jiang Cheng denied, “No.”

Gu Manxi stared at the man suspiciously. Jiang Cheng’s expression was flawless.

Jiang Cheng said, “Good night.”

Everyone bade farewell and left.
