Chapter 40 (2/2)

A young female reporter squeezed to the front of the throng and asked, “I am curious as to why a young and gorgeous girl like you would shoot such a difficult film. I believe that our audience is as curious as I am.”

“Because it is incredible.” Yun Xiangxiang no longer evaded the question. She answered it truthfully, “Growing up protected; living in the world of academia. They did not experience any storms in life and took everything for granted. I hope that more people will know how precious a chance to learn can be.”

“When we think that we are suffering from schoolwork, a lot of people are despairing because they are not able to go to school. Those who have the privilege of being able to go to school should cherish it more. They should work harder in their studies.”

What Yun Xiangxiang said changed the atmosphere of the topic. Yun Xiangxiang answered the reporters who asked serious questions patiently after that.

The reporters noticed that Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t the kind of person that would put them off if they didn’t ask any stupid questions.

Yun Xiangxiang was also a humorous person who knew how to moderate the atmosphere too. She wouldn’t let any awkward silences interrupt the session.

Yun Xiangxiang and Han Jing took part in various activities in the film festival after they finished the Q&A session on a pleasant note. It was already midnight when they returned to the hotel. Han Jing informed her that there would be a recording of an interview session in the film channel tomorrow morning.

Yun Xiangxiang agreed to it since she had nothing to do in the morning.

The film needed more publicity as it had not aired yet. They now had a marketing gimmick with their film getting awarded as best film.

They won the biggest award in the film festival last night. Moreover, they were nominated five times and acquired two awards. With slight procedure, it was easy to attain a striking s.p.a.ce on the entertainment section of the newspaper that day in addition to the contribution of Yun Xiangxiang’s beauty.

“Xiangxiang, show me your trophy, quick.” Song Meng and Li Xiangling was already waiting for her at the hotel. They surrounded her once they saw her.

Yun Xiangxiang handed the trophy over to them. She removed her makeup then took a bath. She applied a mask before wiping her hair. The recording for the show was ten in the morning. She could afford to sleep in.

“I envy the people that can get awards.” Song Meng delivered the supper they prepared earlier. “You must be hungry. We prepared this specially for you.”

It was bird’s nest broth. Yun Xiangxiang was feeling hungry. Having a bird’s nest broth at this hour was just right.

“Will you two go out to have fun tomorrow? I need to go for a recording for a programme.” Yun Xiangxiang took a sip of the broth before saying that to the girls.

“Programme recording? Can we go?” Song Meng was very interested in this.

Li Xiangling was fine either way.

“Sure.” Yun Xiangxiang nodded. Bringing people along was quite normal.

“Then we will go with you tomorrow. I wanna see what a TV station looks like.” Song Meng was suddenly galvanised, “What time will it be? Do I need to wake up early?”

“Ten o’clock. We will be going out at nine thirty,” Yun Xiangxiang said, “You still need to wake up early if you want to have the hotel’s breakfast.

The hotel’s breakfast was served from seven to nine. A five star hotel’s breakfast could make someone’s head spin with how lavish it was. Song Meng was willing to wake up early just for the hotel’s breakfast. Her bad habit of skipping breakfast was snuffed out in an instant.

“Alright, alright. I’ll go to sleep now.” Song Meng yawned and went into her room.

The three of them were living in a suite with a room for each of them.

“Is there anything, Xiangling?” Yun Xiangxiang asked Li Xiangling who didn’t move from her spot.
