Caught in Affairs with Superstar-Chapter 863 - 549: Down-to-Earth (Part 2)

Her confidence comes from her intellect, from every past success she’s had, and from knowing she doesn’t have to rely on another market to continue her acting career.

The international route is just one path. Even without it, she remains China’s top female celebrity, the first Asian actress considered for major Hollywood productions.

Because she has a massive market standing behind her.

Zhou Yun won’t pander to Qiao Anshan.

He’s not worthy.

In terms of skills and qualifications, he’s not worthy.

Finally, it’s Zhou Yun’s turn to enter.

She walks into a sea of flashing lights, presenting herself with grace and confidence in front of the cameras.

Whether waving or smiling, she’s neither cautious nor timid.

This kind of demeanor is captivating.

The media photographers present are all drawn to this girl they’ve just met.

Every photographer favors an elf who appears naturally poised in front of the lens. Zhou Yun is exactly that kind of elf.

...

"She’s very arrogant, trust me, you won’t like her."

Qiao Anshan, who entered first, chatted with another invited guest.

"Really? I think she’s beautiful, I really like her." The other person appeared unmoved.

Qiao Anshan shrugged and said, "You like her because you don’t know her true self yet. Once you do, you’ll understand why I said that."

"Haha."

Qiao Anshan suddenly looked ahead, and immediately left the person he was chatting with, walking forward.

"Hi, Xue Qin!" Qiao Anshan, with a smiling face, approached Xue Qin, "Long time no see! Congratulations, your first movie achieved such remarkable success!"

Xue Qin had stayed in the United States for a long time before and knew Qiao Anshan.

She nodded to Qiao Anshan and said, "It’s been a while. Are you filming recently?"

"Sigh, same old story. No matter how hard I try, they won’t give us the main roles here." Qiao Anshan showed a helpless expression, "We’re always outsiders."

Xue Qin: "I heard you wanted to develop in China, how’s it going?"

"I’ve already contacted several Chinese film companies, but so far I haven’t found the right project." Qiao Anshan said, "Most of them are pretty cliché, and I don’t want to act in those."

Xue Qin said, "You should chat with Zhou Yun later; she knows a lot of people domestically and has access to many good projects. If she recommends something, it could save you a lot of effort."

Qiao Anshan suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

He was too embarrassed to tell Xue Qin he’d had a bit of a spat with Zhou Yun earlier.

"By the way, are you preparing a new film? Are there any roles suitable for me?" Qiao Anshan proactively asked, "You know, I’ve always admired your work."

Xue Qin: "I’m still looking, but my next film should be shot in the United States, primarily featuring roles of European and American descent."

"Ah? Why suddenly come back to the US to film?" Qiao Anshan said, "I thought you’d do another film with a Chinese protagonist."

Xue Qin said, "I’ve already shot two Chinese-language films and want to try an English-language film." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Qiao Anshan said, "Asian roles can be included in English films too. Don’t many English films now feature Asians? The United States is a multi-ethnic country."

"But you want to play the lead role, don’t you?" Xue Qin said, "For supporting roles, there should be plenty of films looking to cast you, right?"

Qiao Anshan said, "If it’s your movie, I’d be willing to take a supporting role too."

Xue Qin smiled.

Qiao Anshan was persistent, of course, because he had heard some rumors.

"Behind the Scenes" is very likely to make a run in the award season, aiming for the Oscars.

Although the current situation is unclear, with the Cannes Film Festival win and producer Shi Luoqi as its foundation, the award prospects for "Behind the Scenes" are still looking optimistic.

As long as "Behind the Scenes" gets a good reputation today, it might at least make a bid for the Best Foreign Language Film category.

Of course, this also requires that when submitting to the Oscars, the officials will submit "Behind the Scenes" for this award category.

If Xue Qin can truly take "Behind the Scenes" on a run for the awards season, her next film will certainly attract much attention.

Hollywood is always very interested in talented new directors who emerge.
