He randomly chose a path based on his intuition, walked to the end of the corridor, and stared at the door in front of him. Was this the door he had just entered?
I hesitated for a moment, and was about to reach for the door when a voice suddenly came from behind me.
" Song Shi'an!"
Song Shi'an was startled. He turned around and saw Pei Zhiyan standing at the other end of the corridor, slightly out of breath and looking a bit disheveled, clearly having run over.
He withdrew his hand and turned around. " Old Pei, why is your house like a maze?"
"Symmetrical aesthetics are very common." Pei Zhiyan straightened up and coughed twice.
Well, rich people really do think differently. Song Shi'an stopped worrying about it and followed Pei Zhiyan back to the restaurant.
As soon as Jiang Ye saw Pei Zhiyan, he asked, " Old Pei, what happened when you ran so fast?"
"It's alright, eat up." Pei Zhiyan sat down as if nothing had happened and picked up her chopsticks.
Song Shi'an sat down and immediately began to devour the food. As expected of a five-star chef, every dish was perfectly suited to his palate.
As Chi Xun was eating, he suddenly remembered something, put down his chopsticks, and said, " Shi'an, was your movie nominated for the Golden Goblet Award?"
"Yeah, I have to go to the film festival next week." Song Shi'an didn't even look up, continuing to pick up food.
Chi Xun exclaimed excitedly, "Do you think you might win the Best Actor award? That would make you the youngest ever Best Actor!"
"How could that be? It's not my turn anyway. You eat yours." Song Shi'an laughed.
Chi Xun muttered to himself, "It's not just me saying that. Ever since ' The Number One Winner ' was nominated five days ago, many people have been saying you'll win Best Actor and take home the Golden Goblet Award for Best Actor."
Song Shi'an smiled but didn't say anything. He was still self-aware; he had only been acting for half a year, and if he won the Best Actor award, he would be criticized to death.
After dinner, Pei Zhiyan had the driver take them all home.
A week passed in the blink of an eye. Song Shi'an had only slept for a few hours, was put into a car in his pajamas and headed to Haicheng.
He yawned and said to Lin Fan, "Is it in such a hurry? The awards ceremony doesn't start until tonight."
Seeing his brother's nonchalant attitude, Lin Fan rattled off a bunch of things. "Brother, this is your first time seriously attending an international film festival, compared to all the other nominated films from home and abroad! There are a lot of big names here, it'll be good to show your face and get some recognition!"
Lin Fan talked for a long time but didn't hear his brother reply. When he looked up, his brother was already fast asleep, pecking at rice like a chick. He sighed and pulled the sunshade curtains closed in the car.
When Song Shi'an woke up, her hair had already been done.
He got out of the car with a meticulously styled haircut and messy panda pajamas, heading straight for the hotel.
The paparazzi, who were staking out the location, snapped away, their targets being the top contenders for the awards.
The selection process hasn't even started yet, and there's already a lot of online discussion.
"This year's Best Picture award undoubtedly goes to ' The Number One Winner,' it's a huge hit both domestically and internationally!"
"Tch~ So domestic film festivals only judge their own people? This is such a terrible film."
"It has absolutely no value; it's just something for my own amusement."
"What are you looking at if it has no substance? Who gives you the right to comment? Dude, stop joking around."
"I only care whether my brother can win the Best Actor award."
"It's pretty much confirmed for this year: Song Shi'an for Best Actor and Jiang Zhi for Best Actress."
"I agree with the Best Actress award, but why did Song Shi'an win Best Actor? He only acted in this one movie, and did that role even require acting skills?"
"You think it's easy to play Qu Lingzhou, who pretends to be weak at first but turns into a boss later? You go and try playing that role yourself."
"Hilarious! Do you really think the film festival is your private property, where fans get to decide who wins?"
"What's all the fuss about? We'll find out tonight."
"Right now, all I want to know is who will have a fashion mishap on the red carpet, who will wear the same outfit as whom, and who will outshine whom in group photos."
"You upstairs, you know how to enjoy a good show."
"If Song Shi'an really wins Best Actor, I'll do a live stream of myself washing my hair while doing a handstand."
"I took a screenshot. Whether you take it or not, you can wash it. Just consider it as adding to An'an's fun."
Song Shi'an had lunch at the hotel. The makeup artist who accompanied her looked her over and over, but there didn't seem to be anything that needed to be done. She shaped her eyebrows, applied lipstick, and handed Song Shi'an her clothes.
He took it and went to the bathroom to change his clothes.
It was fine when I wore it, but it just doesn't feel right. When this light shines on it, the fabric seems a bit see-through. And where are these stripes tied?
He walked out a little awkwardly. " Sister Li, where is this tied? Isn't the neckline a bit too big?"
"It's too big, it fits perfectly, this is for the neck." The makeup artist said with a smile, and then stepped forward to tie it up for Song Shi'an.
Lin Fan came in carrying coffee, and the first thing he saw when he looked up was his brother's outfit... It was truly irresistible to both men and women...
The silver-gray satin long-sleeved shirt gleamed with a delicate, flowing sheen, its collar slightly open, the fabric draped loosely over its shoulders.
A gray silk scarf with a subtle pattern was wrapped around her neck; the fabric's texture was hazy, and the edges draped casually down her shoulders.
A simple, shiny, wide black leather belt cinches the waist, with a sharp, cold silver square buckle, paired with flowing black trousers in the same color family.
The soft, lustrous satin fabric contrasts sharply with the heavy, cold feel of the leather belt, creating an outfit that blends refined languor with untamed wildness.
Lin Fan silently placed the coffee on the table. "Brother, don't look at the camera like that tonight, I'm afraid the fans' hearts won't be able to take it."
Song Shi'an thought Lin Fan was always so exaggerated, what was the difference between this and his usual self? It was just that he was missing a few eyebrows.
He looked at himself in the mirror again, feeling a bit awkward.
Seeing that it was almost time, Lin Fan said, " Brother Yao is waiting for us in the car."
Song Shi'an was surprised that Ji Shuyao was also there; it seems the company values this film festival quite a bit.
He followed Lin Fan and the others out of the room and onto the elevator. Just then, two girls were about to come in, so Song Shi'an stepped aside.
The two girls covered their mouths and shook their heads repeatedly, taking a step back, indicating they would wait for the next batch.
Song Shi'an was puzzled, but he nodded in acknowledgment and pressed the close button.
The two girls almost screamed with excitement only after the elevator doors closed.
Was that Song Shi'an just now?!
"It must be him! I never believed anyone could actually look like that. I was wrong, I repent!"
One of them took out her phone, opened Weibo, and excitedly posted. "Ahhh! I'm so lucky! My best friend and I were traveling in Haicheng and we actually ran into Song Shi'an! Sisters, believe me, she's even more amazing in real life than in movies and TV dramas. She's a liar who gave birth to eight babies in one pregnancy!"
The tag also included the Golden Goblet Award, and comments appeared quickly.
"Sister, I believe you. You dare to make such a vicious oath..."
"Please post a picture! I'm begging you!"
"[Image]. jpg, didn't you guys see the pajama picture someone just posted? The same style is selling like hotcakes!"
"Every single strand of hair is so perfect, but what's with those pajamas? Did the Golden Goblet Award turn into a pajama party this year?"
"This is getting more and more interesting! I can't wait for the awards ceremony at 8 PM!"
