Chapter 458 Social Dance

In that case, she could move on to the next topic with confidence.

"Speaking of diamonds, I heard that Ms. Cen Xin has always been quite knowledgeable about this type of jewelry. Unfortunately, she is very busy, and I haven't had the opportunity to ask her for advice in the past two years. I remember the last time I saw her was backstage at the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony a few years ago."

When Su Lingxi said this, his eyes moved slightly upwards and met Cui Siyu's eyes.

"Senior Cen is indeed very busy. We were both in the imperial capital before and didn't meet many times." Cui Siyu smiled gently and answered without any loopholes.

"Yeah, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I still think that getting the Golden Rooster nomination happened just yesterday."

"Strange, why do you suddenly have so many sighs today?" Cui Siyu asked casually, "Could it be that these two small glasses of wine have made you drunk?"

Su Lingxi smiled and said, "Maybe it's because wrapping up a film is always a sad thing."

Cui Siyu was silent for a few seconds and decided not to riddle her anymore. "If the post-production goes smoothly, we should be able to catch up with the Golden Rooster Awards next year."

It is now early August and the selection period for this year's Golden Rooster Awards has already ended. They will definitely not be able to make it in time no matter what.

But Su Lingxi did not have such a strong desire for the Golden Rooster Award—at least not as strong as the Golden Horse Award.

As we all know, the Golden Horse Awards is known as the "Oscars" in the Asia-Pacific region, which shows how high its value is.

Su Lingxi thought for a moment and said directly: "Don't you think the style of the film "Bugoli" is more suitable for the Golden Horse Awards?"

"The Lantern Story, which won the Golden Horse Award for Best Picture last year, and Lychee Smile, which won the Golden Horse Award for Best Picture three years ago, are both romantic and literary films, which are very consistent with the style of Bugori."

"Compared to the Golden Rooster Awards, the Golden Horse Awards have always preferred art films and films with profound social significance. For us, the chances of winning the Golden Horse Awards will be greater."

Her analysis was very reasonable, and she also stated her thoughts directly: she wanted to compete for the Best Actress Award at the Golden Horse Awards with the role of Shen Lizhen.

She kept talking about how great the best film was, but in fact she just wanted to persuade her to work with her.

Cui Siyu grew up in the social world and could easily see through the other party's words.

Of course, she doesn't hate this kind of little thought.

"You sound very confident?" Cui Siyu took the teapot handed to her by the assistant and poured her a cup of tea. "You should know that it is not easy to get a Golden Horse nomination."

What does this mean? Is this a mockery of them not even getting nominated?

Jia Jia stood nearby, watching everything, and felt unhappy when she heard these words.

"If we only talk about acting, I don't think I will lose to anyone." Su Lingxi raised her eyebrows, with a smile on her face, "I know very well how my acting skills would rate."

"Don't you have confidence in the quality of the finished film?"

Cui Siyu was stunned for a moment by the question, but then her attention was attracted by the other party's high-spirited confidence.

She heard from others that Su Lingxi was very popular in Hollywood, and even the Oscars, which had never hosted Asians before, made an exception for her.

Maybe...her confidence didn't come out of thin air.

Cui Siyu frowned in deep thought.

Su Lingxi’s 25th birthday party was still held in Beverly Hills.

However, compared to the house she rented last year, the villa she bought herself has a better location and a more beautiful courtyard.

As soon as you walk through the gate, you can see a lush small garden not far away. Passing through the spacious lobby and restaurant, you can just see the sparkling infinity pool through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

When Joey arrived, there was no one by the pool. Everyone was enjoying the social dance in the hall which had been carefully decorated by the host as a banquet hall.

"Why don't you go over and dance with them?" Su Lingxi came over from behind, bumped his elbow, and handed him a glass of drink.

Joey looked back at her, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

She wore a lemon yellow and sea blue dance dress. Her black hair was braided into a delicate bun at the back of her head, decorated with a ruby ​​rose-shaped hairpin and a diamond butterfly hairpin, making her look light yet elegant.

He could see that she must have dressed up carefully. Her eyebrows were picturesque and her facial features were three-dimensional and deep. Only her plump and bright red lips showed that she was not a pure white person.

To be honest, she didn't look as "Asian" as other Asian people he had seen.

After he came to his senses, Joey realized how rude it was to stare at someone.

He coughed lightly, and his ears quickly turned red. "They were all doing ballroom dancing. I think it's... a little old-fashioned."

"That can't be helped. The theme of today's party is the social dance of the last century." Su Lingxi couldn't help but tease, "You can't dance the kind of dance you learned in the nightclub here."

When she said this, Joey's ears turned even redder.

Fortunately, the light in the corner they were in was dim, and no one except himself could notice that his ears were getting hot.

"Are you in a good mood today?" He changed the subject awkwardly.

Su Lingxi smiled, "Today is my birthday. I can receive gifts and open them, who wouldn't be happy?"

"But..." She changed the subject and looked at him with bright eyes, "It's all thanks to you for the good news."

"I feel better now than I did a while ago."

Joey knew that the "good news" she was referring to was: he had spent a lot of effort to negotiate the leading lady for the project of "The Enlightened" - Meryl Norton, a very popular and powerful actress in her 30s in Hollywood. She won the Oscar for Best Actress five years ago and had impeccable looks and acting skills.

For a drama like "The Enlighteners" with no IP, no team, and almost "three nothings", being able to invite her to be the heroine was like pie in the sky. The news could not be concealed and spread throughout Hollywood in a short time.

No wonder she was so happy.

"Tell me, how did you manage to convince Ms. Norton? I don't think the conditions we offered her are very good." The light from the crystal chandelier shone on her face, and her little face seemed to be glowing.

Joey looked at her and smiled. "I thought you treated her very well - have you forgotten? We have never paid any actor such a high salary."

"Meryl Norton certainly deserves our preferential treatment." Su Lingxi disagreed with his statement, "Besides, it's nothing. Other crews may offer her better conditions than us. You know, we are still relatively poor at the moment."
