I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Firstly, at the premiere of "Ten Red Army Soldiers Sent Off" in Xijiang, five actresses, including Zeng Li, impressed high-ranking officials with their groundbreaking song "As You Wish," and the Xijiang government praised the song highly.

The Xijiang government even approached Cheng Sheng about this. Cheng Sheng immediately understood the Xijiang government's purpose and, without them having to say anything, directly granted the Xijiang government a free license to sing the song "As You Wish".

Therefore, "As You Wish" has now become one of the most representative promotional songs for Xijiang.

Zeng Li and her five daughters have even reached a cooperation agreement with the Xijiang government, becoming Xijiang's spokespeople.

Secondly, after the release of "Ten Red Army Soldiers Sent Off," it received praise from high-ranking officials, official newspapers, and private media. It can be said that no one dared to smear the film.

Thirdly, there are awards.

Before its domestic release, "Ten Red Army Soldiers" won the Best Actress award and the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival.

With these two major awards, would the Shanghai Film Festival dare not give Zeng Li the Best Actress award?
If they don't give it, the public will question the fairness of the Shanghai International Film Festival. After all, the Venice Film Festival has already recognized "Ten Red Army Soldiers" and Zeng Li's acting skills. Does the Shanghai International Film Festival think it's better than the Venice Film Festival?
Fourth is box office revenue.

"Ten Red Army Soldiers" grossed 15 billion yuan in China and 9 million US dollars worldwide, breaking all domestic film records.

Finally, there's international influence.

When "Ten Red Army Soldiers Sent Off" was released globally, it showed the world a different side of the Chinese people, their indomitable spirit, the changes that took place in China at that time, and how China triumphed despite hardships...

Thanks to this film, Westerners have gained a new understanding of China.

For these five reasons, unless the Shanghai International Film Festival goes crazy, it's certain that the Best Film and Best Actress awards will go to the crew of "Ten Red Army Soldiers Sending Off".

Of course, "Ten Red Army Soldiers Sending Off the Red Army" won more than just these two awards; the Best Actor award was also given to the actors in "Ten Red Army Soldiers Sending Off the Red Army".

Liu Ye did not win Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival, but he won Best Actor at the Shanghai International Film Festival.

Cheng Sheng was happy for Liu Ye, after all, Liu Ye's performance in "Ten Red Army Soldiers Sent Off" was really good.

"Ten Red Army Soldiers" was not only shortlisted for the Shanghai International Film Festival, but also for the Golden Rooster Awards, although the awards ceremony will not begin until November.

Judging from the patterns of the Shanghai Film Festival, the Best Actress and Best Film awards will definitely belong to "Ten Red Army Soldiers Sending Off".

After all, the Golden Rooster Awards wouldn't dare to give the award to another film.

Zeng Li has already won two Best Actress awards for her role in "Ten Red Army Soldiers," namely the Venice Film Festival Best Actress Award and the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress. She has yet to win the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress.

Unfortunately, "Ten Red Army Soldiers" was not nominated for the Golden Horse Awards.

After all, the situations in the two places are different, and the topic is a bit sensitive.

"Darling, I miss you."

Zeng Li's gentle voice came through the phone.

"I miss you too, but unfortunately I'm adrift at sea, otherwise I would have taken a plane to see you."

Cheng Sheng's voice was filled with endless longing; he hadn't seen Zeng Li for a long time either.

"Which country will you stop in next? I'll come find you then," Zeng Li said.

Has filming wrapped on "Blue Archives"?

When Cheng Sheng heard that Zeng Li wanted to come find him, he was taken aback and asked.

"Filming wrapped up a few days ago."

"Our next stop is Java. We'll arrive in Java the day after tomorrow and stay there for about a week," Cheng Sheng said after thinking for a moment.

Although the fleet bought enough water and food in Champa, it shouldn't have needed to stop in Java. However, Java was Zheng He's second stop on his voyages, so there were several scenes to film there, which would delay them for a few days.

“Then I’ll buy a plane ticket to Java tomorrow, and I also want to bring someone with me. She’s a real beauty,” Zeng Li said with a smile.

When Cheng Sheng heard that Zeng Li was bringing people along, and that they were all beautiful women, he was quite surprised.

Zeng Li's only close friends in the industry are Mei Ting, Hu Jing, and Maria. "A beautiful woman? Who is she? Do I know her? Is she Mei Ting?" Cheng Sheng asked curiously.

"No! I won't tell you now, I'll introduce you later," Zeng Li said mysteriously.

Upon hearing that it wasn't Mei Ting, Cheng Sheng became even more curious about this beautiful woman.

The two then chatted for about ten more minutes before hanging up, seeing that it was getting late.

Kyoto.

Zeng Li's home.

"Sister Li, I love you so much."

Just after hanging up the phone, a voluptuous woman hugged Zeng Li tightly, her pretty face nuzzling affectionately against Zeng Li's chest.

"Okay, Da Meng, I'm dying of itchiness."

Zeng Li pushed Zhang Meng's head away.

Zhang Meng sat up straight and stared intently at Zeng Li, saying, "Sister Li, aren't you jealous about this?"

"What are you jealous of? That bastard is a pervert. If I hadn't found help, I would have died at his hands sooner or later. Now you're getting off easy," Zeng Li said helplessly.

She had no choice but to find teammates.

The enemy was too powerful, beyond her expectations.

In her more than thirty years of life, she has come to understand the ins and outs of relationships between men and women.

Online, men's "battles" generally don't last long, and women often emerge victorious.

After all, women have a significant advantage in this kind of thing.

Zeng Li had no idea that Cheng Sheng would be an accident, and a very unconventional guy at that.

Not only is it powerful in combat, but it also has an exceptionally strong recovery ability.

In ancient times, this would definitely be considered a top-tier military commander.

No wonder top ancient generals could kill hundreds of people on the battlefield; that's truly freakish!

Historical records show that only Xiang Yu, Ran Min, and Yang Zaixing were capable of killing a hundred men.

Cheng Sheng is now similar to these three. Although he has never killed any enemies on the battlefield, Zeng Li can testify that he is no less capable than the Hundred-Man Slayer.

Thinking back to the days she spent with Cheng Sheng, she always lost miserably.

As a result, she suffered from a physical deficiency for a period of time.

During the day, she forced herself to go out, but the constant weariness made her unable to muster the energy to do anything.

Zeng Li felt like a bowstring stretched to its limit. During the day, the pressure of work pulled at one end, and at night, Cheng Sheng's endless demands pulled at the other end, as if it would snap at any moment.

In the long run, she was just wasting her own life force.

Therefore, she had to make an excuse to go filming and stay in the "Blue Archives" crew for a long time to recover.

But now that filming has wrapped up, she has no reason to stay any longer, and she also misses Cheng Sheng very much.

Therefore, for the sake of her own life, she had to find help as soon as possible.

This wasn't just for her own life, but also to satisfy her boyfriend.

At first, she thought of Mei Ting, but Mei Ting was too familiar, and besides, Mei Ting had just gotten divorced. What would Mei Ting think if she were asked to serve Cheng Sheng alongside her? (End of Chapter)
