I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

During that time they lived together, their relationship was just like that of sisters.

But I never expected Xie to be such an ingrate.

When Sheena gets married in the future, she will be at the peak of her career.

On the wedding day, many celebrities gathered at the scene, and many friends from the entertainment industry came to offer their congratulations.

Li Xiaoran was going through a low point in her life at the time, having to take good care of her current boyfriend while also dealing with the continued harassment from her ex-boyfriend.

However, when she received Sheena's wedding invitation, she readily accepted without much thought and volunteered to be her bridesmaid.

This friendship should have been reciprocated, but when Li Xiaoran got married, Xie Na did not attend, citing "being too busy with work" as the reason.

While this reasoning sounds reasonable, is it really impossible to spare even a little time when it comes to something as important as a friend?
Besides this, many other things happened between the two in the future, which ultimately led to the two best friends becoming estranged and never speaking to each other again.

There's a saying that goes: true friendship is revealed in times of adversity, and true character is revealed in times of wealth.

Many netizens believe that Li Xiaoran losing this friendship might actually be a relief.

After all, it's better to let go gracefully than to maintain a superficial relationship.

"Xiaoran, why are you so concerned about whether Cheng Sheng is gay? To be honest, do you have feelings for him? If so, I'd love for you to win him over."

After playing around for a while, Xie Na said solemnly.

Given Cheng Sheng's current status in the industry, it would be a good thing for Li Xiaoran to become his girlfriend, and she could even take the opportunity to improve her relationship with him.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Li Xiaoran rolled her eyes at Xie Na.

Xie Na smiled slightly, her eyes darting around, and asked, "Do you already have a boyfriend?"

"No!" Li Xiaoran's tone was somewhat hesitant.

"Hehe, don't think I don't know anything. I heard from someone that a guy named Sun Donghai is pursuing you," Xie Na said.

When Xie Na mentioned Sun Donghai, Li Xiaoran was unsure whether she liked him.

She and Sun Donghai only met this year.

At that time, she took on the role of designer Lan Ni in Zhao Baogang's TV series "Paris Fairy Tale".

Filming this drama also led her to meet Sun Donghai.

Sun Donghai is the producer of this drama and also a very successful businessman.

After meeting her, Sun Donghai began to pursue her intensely.

In pursuit of himself, Sun Donghai not only spent lavishly but was also extremely considerate and gentlemanly, even divorcing his wife.

It would be a lie to say that Li Xiaoran wasn't tempted by such an intense pursuit.

After having dinner with Sun Donghai a few times, I always felt that Sun Donghai had a very strong desire to control.

He controlled her in every way, and even didn't want her to act.

This made Li Xiaoran re-evaluate Sun Donghai.

She's not even married yet! And she's already controlling her in every way. What will she have of freedom after marriage?

Therefore, Li Xiaoran is now hesitant, unsure whether to accept Sun Donghai's advances.

"No, no, that's all just what the reporters wrote. I never accepted his advances," Li Xiaoran said.

"What about Yanpo? I heard from people in the industry that he seems to be pursuing you too." Xie Na seemed very interested in Li Xiaoran's love life, determined to get to the bottom of it.

"That's not true. Mei Ting and Yan Po are husband and wife. How could I interfere in their relationship? Do I look like a mistress to you?"

Li Xiaoran's expression wasn't too pleasant after Xie Na mentioned her relationship with Yan Po. Although Yan Po had been very enthusiastic towards her lately, she had never considered developing a romantic relationship with him.

It's all because of those reporters writing nonsense that she's now embroiled in scandals.

"Alright, let's not talk about me anymore. Let's watch the live stream and hear what Professor Li Naiwen has to say in her acceptance speech."

Seeing that Xie was about to say something, Li Xiaoran interrupted him again.

Li Naiwen won the award.

The entertainment reporters watching the live stream were already incredibly excited.

The original draft was crumpled into a ball and thrown into the trash can, and then a new draft was written.

As soon as they saw Cheng Sheng win Best Editor, entertainment reporters were already writing articles and had even drafted the headlines.

Praise Cheng Sheng lavishly; you can't go wrong by saying good things about him.

As for why I didn't wait until Lee Nai-man won the Best Actor award at the Venice Film Festival before writing the article, it's mainly because nobody thought Lee Nai-man had a chance to win the award.

Unexpectedly, Venice, just like last year, once again created a double yolk.

Lee Nai-man won Best Actor, but Cheng Sheng's Best Screenplay award wasn't really that important.

No matter how you look at it, the Best Actor award is more likely to generate buzz.

[Buried wins Best Actor.]

[Shocking! Venice Film Festival Best Actor – Li Naiwen.]

[A Chinese actor has achieved legendary status, winning the Best Actor award at the Venice Film Festival for the second consecutive year.]

Entertainment reporters treated Lee Nae-moon like a goddess, writing headlines in bold and length, and even including screenshots of her walking onto the stage, using vivid words and pictures to describe her.

At this moment, on the stage of the Venice awards ceremony.

Li Naiwen and David stood together, accepted the trophy, and raised it high.

Then, at Li Naiwen's modesty, David first gave his acceptance speech, thanking everyone who had helped him.

Next up is Lee Nae-moon.

Lee Nai-man was very emotional and rarely shed tears on the spot, crying like a child.

Standing on this stage, he has experienced so many firsts.

His first time starring, his first time in Venice, his first film nominated for Best Actor, his first time hearing applause from the audience, his first time facing colleagues from all over the world, his first award, and the Venice Film Festival's Best Actor award no less, his first time giving an acceptance speech...

The applause at the award ceremony lasted for several minutes. Lee Nae-moon, who was crying her eyes out, held up the trophy. She was excited and happy like a child, with a cute and silly expression. Her joy was mixed with tears, and she instantly became a meme.

"Thank you. This is my first time attending the Venice Film Festival, and also my first collaboration with director Ning Hao. Although the filming of 'Buried Alive' was very tough, and director Ning Hao kept telling me, 'Safety first, safety first,' I believe that as an actor, one must play every role well. Only an actor's genuine reaction can create a successful character..."

clap clap clap!
Listening to Li Naiwen's story, most of the people present were actors, and they could understand the hardships he had endured, so they applauded and agreed with him.

Every actor who can come here to participate in the film festival has gone through countless hardships.

Without that hard work, how could one achieve such amazing acting skills, and how could one have the opportunity to come here?

Afterwards, Li Naiwen began to thank everyone one by one. The first person he thanked was not Ning Hao, but Cheng Sheng. After all, he knew very well that it was Cheng Sheng who recommended him for the lead role, and Cheng Sheng was also the producer of the film.

Then came Ning Hao, Principal Xu Xiaozhong, their alma mater, their parents and family, and the film crew. (End of Chapter)
