By the time Su Ji arrived, everyone else was already there.
The female lead, Nan Miaomiao, the male lead, Liang Ruifeng, Yan Gaoqiu, and the others were all present, except for Zhu Yiyi, who had made a big mistake at the press conference last time.
She had no face to partic.i.p.ate in the production team’s activities. Besides…Long Dahai had no intention of inviting her either!
The position of the second female lead was a little awkward. It sounded good, but she did not have as many scenes as the female lead.
Especially at such a glorious moment like the award ceremony, her presence was not important.
“Roommate!” As soon as Su Ji entered the meeting room, Nan Miaomiao’s small voice rang out.
The seat next to her was reserved for her roommate!
Su Ji casually hung her crossbody bag on the back of the chair and sat down. The two of them chatted for a while.
Yan Gaoqiu also came over and asked Su Ji sourly how her married life was.
He rested his arm on the back of Su Ji’s chair. “Is it boring?
It was rare for Nan Miaomiao to stand on the same side as him. “Exactly. How can being married be better than being single?”
Su Ji raised his eyebrows slowly. “I’m sorry to disappoint you.” Yan Gaoqiu and Nan Miaomiao looked at each other. “What do you mean?”
“My married life…is so cool!”
The two lemon spirits were agitated!
Not long after, Yan Gaoqiu was pushed away by a few male actors. Due to the recent episodes, he was very popular.
He even surpa.s.sed the male lead, Liang Ruifeng.
Compared to n.o.bunaga and Xuanji’s intense love-hate relationship, Liang Ruifeng’s scholarly character seemed rather dull.
Liang Ruifeng had indeed gained some fans since the broadcast of the TV series, but it was far from his expectations.
Now that he saw Yan Gaoqiu surrounded by the male actors, he could not understand where the problem lay even though he was obviously better off than Yan Gaoqiu in every aspect.
Nan Miaomiao narrowed her eyes and leaned in front of her roommate. “Can you tell me more about it? Why is it cool?”
Su Ji poked her arm. “Let’s remove your chast.i.ty belt first.”
“Chast.i.ty belt…” Nan Miaomiao immediately covered her arm guiltily. However, she reacted a few seconds later and waved her small fists with a red face.
“It’s not like we’re filming. There’s no such thing!”
“Alright, everyone, get ready. The meeting is about to start!”
Jin Fengze’s voice came from the other end of the conference table, and the surroundings quickly fell silent.
The few groups of people who had gathered together to chat found their own seats and sat down. Everyone had not seen each other for a long time and had many topics they wanted to talk about, but… They had not forgotten the main theme of the meeting between Director Jin and a.s.sistant Director Long!
“Qingqiu Tactics” was nominated for a very prestigious award in the overseas entertainment industry, the Golden Leaf Award.
At the same time, the nominees were all popular dramas from all over the world.
For example, Thailand’s “The President of the Black Gang Fell in Love with Me” and America’s “The Island of Escape”.
Unlike previous business trips, this trip to Continent O was to attend an award ceremony. Regardless of whether they won an award or not, everyone was in a relaxed mood.
Moreover…
“The production team bear everyone’s expenses for this business trip!” When Jin Fengze announced the news generously, the meeting room immediately burst into cheers!
Everyone present was an artist. Even if their income was different, it was still considerable overall, so they would definitely not be so excited over some small profits.
The reason why they had such a reaction at this moment was completely because…they weren’t going to attend the award ceremony in an ordinary city. Instead, they were going to Golden Town, which was known as the most wealthy tourist attraction in Continent O!
The name “Golden Leaf Award” was also derived from the Golden Town where the award was given.
Those in the industry jokingly said that it was the easiest for celebrities to come here to attend the awards ceremony, because even if they called the paparazzi to secretly take photos of the paparazzi, it would be difficult to gather the funds.
Although it was called a small town, it was not really a small town. On the contrary, it was located in the wealthy district and was directly under the jurisdiction of the O Alliance.
And the reason why it was called Golden Town… was because the prices here were even more expensive than gold. Cheers rose and fell in the conference room.
Big hit!
One had to know that the accommodation fees for the dozens of people in the production team were already astronomical.
The hotels here were all owned by the top tyc.o.o.ns of Continent O, and even the flights to Golden Town were different. The cost was several times that of ordinary flights.
As a famous director of a popular drama, his actions were indeed extraordinary.
Long Dahai tried to maintain order. “Alright, don’t be in a hurry to discuss it now.”
Hearing him say this, everyone became even more excited.
Even Nan Miaomiao was very happy.
This was the first time she had the chance to go to Golden Town. Lu Shang’s film had been nominated for the Golden Leaf Award, and he had been there once. Although he returned in defeat, Nan Miaomiao had been envious for a long time.
However, when she turned around, she saw that her roommate was exceptionally calm.
She narrowed her eyes.
Why is she not excited?!
Su Ji did not care about Golden Town. She was only looking for its location on the map.
Pei Huai said that the place they were going to stay in Continent O…
She looked at the map.
Not bad, not too far.
Golden Town was under the direct jurisdiction of Alliance O, so it was very close to the venue for the award ceremony. It was less than a 20-minute drive.
At the end of the meeting, Jin Fengze asked the staff to compile a list of people to book hotels and air tickets.
The meeting room was filled with excitement.
The statistics reached Su Ji’s side.
Su Ji considerately helped the crew save money. “You don’t have to book my hotel. Thank you.”
“??” The staff was stunned and asked in surprise, “you have another place to stay in Golden Town??”
That voice attracted the attention of the others in the meeting room.
Jin Fengze said, “you don’t have to worry about the cost. You all contributed to the popularity of the Qingqiu Tactics.”
Long Dahai winked at Su Ji. “Don’t be silly. The crew booked the most luxurious hotel in Golden Town, Henry Hotel. It’s also close to the award ceremony. It’s only an hour’s drive away. If you stay too far away, you’ll have a hard time!”
Su Ji smiled. “Don’t worry, Director Long. I won’t.” Long Dahai had a complicated expression.
It was as if Su Ji was about to lose 100 million yuan!
Liang Ruifeng whispered to a veteran screenwriter beside him, “everyone says that her husband is very capable. Could it be that he also has property in Golden Town?”
The screenwriter smiled contemptuously. “Please.”
With the popularity of the Qingqiu Tactics, the screenwriter’s net worth had increased several times.
“Are you sure I don’t need to book your hotel?” Erwin asked after confirming with Su Ji.
After the statistics were done today, they would start to book the hotel rooms. It was always the most difficult to book a hotel room before the award ceremony. It would be too late to regret it after a few days.
Su Ji replied, “yes.”
Then… Jin Fengze nodded in agreement.
After all, Henry Hotel was indeed ridiculously expensive.. It was better to save as much as possible!
