Chapter 227 Shall it be made public tonight?

The next day I contacted Jiang Xin and mentioned Song Yin's recent situation, but the other party didn't know anything about it.

Her tone didn't seem like she was deliberately hiding something, but the more she said it, the more uneasy Ye Xi felt.

In the end, Jiang Xin said in WeChat that she would call home some time to ask what was going on, and if there was any news, she would give her feedback as soon as possible.

Because of her words last time, Jiang Xin successfully got the role of the second female lead in "Nightingale". Regardless of the relationship between the two before, as far as this matter is concerned, the other party must have some gratitude.

At the end of the day, Ye Xi suddenly thought of something, and warned: [Don't let Song Yin know that I'm asking about her. 】

Jiang Xin was slightly puzzled, thought for a while, and replied with the word 'good'.

After the message was sent, she held her phone and fell into thought.

I remember calling my mother yesterday, saying that my father was a little strange these days, he always left early and returned late every day, and asked him why he didn't say anything. He was haggard and depressed, as if he had aged ten years suddenly.

At that time, the mother wondered whether her father had committed something outside. Thinking of the recent hit criminal investigation drama, accidentally killing someone or something, Jiang Xin also blamed her mother for being too suspicious, and asked her to take care of her father's emotions. Don't be noisy all the time.

In this way, the father's recent abnormal behavior is mostly related to Song Yin.

Jiang Xin didn't think about it anymore, she quickly opened the address book and dialed her mother's phone number, but she felt something was wrong after the first ring, and hung up immediately.

This time, she called her father directly.

……

The director finished work early that night, and Ye Xi suddenly became interested after dinner, and ran to the screening room on the third floor to find out the movie he won the Oscar a few years ago to watch.

When Qin Chen pushed the door in with the milk in his hand, in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling curtain, the slender figure was already sitting with his knees wrapped around him, watching with gusto.

He walked over to pick her up from the carpet, gently put her on the sofa, and rubbed her hair: "Is the menstruation coming soon, you should keep warm these few days."

Ye Xi raised his head in a daze, and looked at him without blinking.

"What's wrong?" the man asked.

She stared blankly for a while, then put her arms around his waist: "Director Qin, you are really talented."

Qin Chen laughed: "A late compliment?"

"Huh? I haven't praised you before?"

The man sat down next to her, his eyes fell on the movie in front of him: "In the past, you usually only said that Director Qin has a good eye for actors."

"..."

Ye Xi silently turned his head away.

When this film won the award, she was only a sophomore in college. Like ordinary audiences, she could only see the scene. She blurted out an exclamation at that time, but she did not expect to be remembered by the great director until now.

But after becoming an actor, I realized that behind every excellent film, the absolutely indispensable core figure is actually the director.

The director is the helm, and the actor is the sailor.

If a ship wants to reach its destination smoothly according to the predetermined route, it needs the helmsman and sailors to cooperate wholeheartedly and tacitly, to fight against difficulties together, and to overcome repeated storms, huge waves and sudden accidents.

Just like this award-winning movie, a story between a ship, sailors, and the captain.

After several years of growth and tempering, watching it for the second time, it was only at a certain moment that she truly understood the connotation and charm of it.

Therefore, it doesn't matter when you set sail and where you land, the important thing is that there are processes and gains that cannot be replaced by others during this period.

Just like participating in "Nightingale", it seemed that whether he could be nominated for Cannes, Ye Xi suddenly became less persistent.

She took a long breath, and Qingling's eyes turned, quietly falling on the man's chiseled side face, and whispered: "Director Qin."

"Huh?" He turned his head.

"How about we tonight—"

Before the word 'public' could be said, it was interrupted by a clear ringtone of the mobile phone.

Ye Xi blinked, looking a little helpless.

"What about tonight?" The man temporarily ignored the phone.

Seeing a person's name jumping on the screen, it should be a friend in his circle, Ye Xi calmed down and pointed to his mobile phone: "You answer it first, in case there is something urgent."

Qin Chen was silent for a moment, then turned his head to find the connection. The volume of the movie was not loud enough to affect the voice on the other end.

After a few pleasantries, his friend told him that the shortlist for the Palme d'Or has come out.

Qin Chen raised his eyebrows, switched the phone to the other hand, and asked slowly, "Who are the best actress nominees?"

"You slipped your tongue." The person inside laughed: "Shouldn't you ask who the best directors are?"

"It's not a slip of the tongue, that's all I want to know."

He probed the temperature of the cup wall with his fingertips, brought it over and stuffed it into Ye Xi's hand, signaling her that the milk was getting cold.

The person on the phone heard a voice and asked, "It seems that the TV is on, are you at home?"

"Ah."

"What's the point of watching it alone? Recently, several foreign films have been released. Do you want to go to the theater? It's not a good idea to go out for a drink together."

Qin Chen glanced at the person beside him who was drinking milk and concentrating on the movie. He smiled, and stretched out his hand to gently pinch her cheek.

Where is a person watching, he has a baby to accompany him.

"It's too late, don't go," he replied.

The person over there choked, then seemed to think of something, and smiled clearly: "I almost forgot, you are no longer a loner now, why, the family education is strict?"

"It's not strict, it all depends on self-consciousness."

There was a moment of silence on the phone: "Okay, the fun of a great director, a single dog like me is not blessed to experience it." After speaking, he read him the shortlist for the best actress.

Qin Chen was fairly calm, and was not too surprised when he heard Ye Xi's name.

The strength of the goddess itself is there. Regardless of acting skills or popularity, it is reasonable to easily capture the judges.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Chen picked up the person next to him and hugged her into his arms, touched her cool fingers, then frowned and wrapped her little hands into his palm.

She rubbed her head against his chin, found a comfortable position to lean against, fixed her eyes on the curtain and took the time to ask him: "Has the official shortlist been announced?"

"Not yet, but it should be out soon."

Ye Xi raised her head slightly, her dark and bright eyes stared at the man's handsome face without blinking, waiting for his next words.

He asked slowly, "Do you think you have been nominated?"

Ye Xi replied lazily: "It must have been mentioned."

Qin Chen raised his eyebrows lightly: "So confident?"

"Of course, but the nomination is only the first step, you have to get it."

Moreover, for two consecutive terms, whether she can win this time does not seem to be that big of an obsession.

The man saw through her thoughts at a glance, kissed her hair and smiled lowly: "The golden brown actress award that others dream of, becomes dispensable when it comes to you?"

"It's not optional."

She turned her eyes and said from the bottom of her heart: "It's just that the state of mind at this stage has changed a little compared to before."
