Chapter 308 Shortlisted
After getting out of bed, Xia Qingqian ran to the door and opened it. Seeing Yang Manni standing at the door, she asked with a smile, "Sister Manni, why are you looking for me so late?"
Yang Manni was holding a mobile phone in her hand, the screen was still on, and the page showed her WeChat chat history with others.
She looked up and handed the phone to Xia Qingqian with a smile, "First-hand good news, Pretty Woman has been shortlisted for the Best Film and Best Actress awards at the Cannes Film Festival."
"Really?" Xia Qingqian exclaimed in disbelief as she took Yang Manni's phone.
She lowered her head and looked carefully at the message someone sent to Yang Manni. She didn't know who the other party was. "Sister Manni, is this news reliable..."
It’s not that she didn’t trust Yang Manni’s connections, it’s just that the news was too surprising and too sudden.
She gave her all in the performance of Pretty Woman.
But she was actually unsure whether she could win the award. After all...the reputation and popularity of the first film would inevitably be used for comparison.
Besides...her mother-in-law is not someone that anyone can surpass.
Yang Manni took her phone back. "What? Don't you believe me?"
"It's not that I don't believe you, I just don't believe myself..." Xia Qingqian explained in a low voice.
"Silly girl, you don't even have that much confidence anymore!" Yang Manni said with a smile, "I've always heard about my news, but right now we only have the news of being nominated, and it's hard to say whether we can win the award. After all, several foreign films have good reputations and box office this year, and we are all evenly matched."
Xia Qingqian replied with a smile, "I'm very happy to be shortlisted. If I really win the prize, it will be an unexpected surprise."
She has a very good attitude. She enjoys making movies, and winning awards is a goal she sets for herself, not the ultimate purpose.
"Well, then you should go to bed early. Good night." After sharing the good news, Yang Manni said good night to Xia Qingqian and turned to walk towards her room.
"Good night, Sister Manny." After Xia Qingqian closed the door and climbed back into bed, she felt a little excited and a little excited.
She couldn't help but want to share the good news with Ji Fengfan, so she immediately sat up from the bed and took her cell phone.
Ji Fengfan had not yet responded to the WeChat message she had sent to him before, so Xia Qingqian sent him another WeChat message to share the good news that she had been shortlisted.
She originally thought that Ji Fengfan might take a few hours to reply to her WeChat message.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she sent the message, Ji Fengfan called her via video.
Xia Qingqian couldn't wait to connect the video, and all she saw was a white quilt. After a while, Ji Fengfan's sleepy face appeared in the camera.
"Did I wake you up?" Xia Qingqian asked apologetically.
Ji Fengfan's hoarse voice came from the video. He just woke up and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "No, I'm ready to get up."
Ji Fengfan was busy until three in the morning last night before he went to bed. He only slept for more than three hours. He had to go to the company again later. In order to finish his work and return home early, he arranged his schedule very tightly, so he had to sacrifice his sleep time.
Xia Qingqian smiled and told Ji Fengfan again the good news she had just received.
"I'm so happy. I didn't expect to be shortlisted." Xia Qingqian couldn't help but sigh after she said this.
Ji Fengfan got up and got dressed while video chatting with her.
He listened to Xia Qingqian's excited voice and smiled lovingly at the camera. After Xia Qingqian shared her happy mood, he said to her, "Our Qianqian is awesome."
Being praised by him like this, Xia Qingqian felt a little embarrassed, "It's just a nomination, it doesn't mean I can win the award."
She is not as good as he says.
Ji Fengfan still smiled gently and said, "Our Qianqian will definitely win the prize."
"I don't dare to think about whether I will win the award or not. I'm just very happy to be shortlisted." Xia Qingqian said with a heartless look and a silly smile.
Ji Fengfan looked at her innocent appearance, and the smile in his eyes became even gentler.
The two didn't talk much. Ji Fengfan was getting ready to go out and Xia Qingqian was about to go to bed.
"Go to bed early, honey. I love you." Ji Fengfan said into the phone.
Xia Qingqian also shyly replied, "I love you."
Then the two of them hung up the video reluctantly.

When Yang Manni came to find Xia Qingqian, the door of the room was not locked, but was gently closed.
When she came back and opened the door, she was startled.
Ning You came over at some point and was now standing by the window of her room.
"Why are you in my room? You scared me." Yang Manni glared at Ning You.
"Where have you been?" Ning You asked with a slight smile.
"I went to find Qianqian. 'Pretty Woman' was nominated for two awards at the Cannes Film Festival: Best Film and Best Actress." Yang Manni explained.
Ning You whistled, "Wow, our Xiao Qianqian is amazing. I think my film will be able to sweep all the major award ceremonies in China next year. By then, I will be a top star."
"Yeah." Yang Manni nodded. She agreed with what Ning You said and felt there was great hope.
Yang Manni was ready to take a shower in her pajamas. Seeing that Ning You didn't seem to be leaving yet, she asked directly, "Anything else?"
Ning You answered openly, "No~"
"Then why don't you go back and take a shower and sleep?" Yang Manni continued to ask.
Ning You touched his nose and said, "Um... I just remembered that the shower head in my room is broken. I have to take a shower here with you."
"It's broken? Then ask the front desk to send someone to fix it." Yang Manni gave him advice.
"It's so late. The engineering and maintenance department has already gone off work. There's no one here to fix it. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Ning You sat down directly on the small sofa. "You go and wash first. I'm not in a hurry. I'll go after you finish washing." Then he took out his mobile phone and started playing with it.
Yang Manni ignored him and went to the bathroom to take a shower in her pajamas.
In the room, Ning You stretched his neck to look at the bathroom door. After listening to the sound of running water, he put on his slippers and ran out of the room quickly. A few minutes later, he came back quickly.
When she came back, she was holding pajamas and underwear in her hands.
Tonight, he was determined to stay no matter what.
Half an hour later, Yang Manni came out of the shower and saw Ning You still sitting on the sofa. She said naturally, "I'm done, you go ahead."
Ning You stood up suddenly and rushed into the bathroom with his pajamas and underwear.
His movements were so fast that Yang Manni couldn't see clearly what he was holding in his hand.
She glanced at the bathroom door with some confusion, and then she realized that she could clearly see the figure of the person washing dishes inside...
She paused, and her face suddenly turned red as if it was on fire.
