Superstar's Development Diary-Chapter 880 - 882: Awarded, Nominated

Deng Zhaoyan wanted Huang Ru to vent his anger, but was eventually stopped by her agent. The agent advised her to calm down and not quarrel at the wedding, exposing her bad temper.

If she did end up quarreling with Huang Ru, causing any unexpected incidents at the wedding, then all the planning would be for nothing.

The most important thing now is that the top trending topic is still their wedding news, while Gong Hongyu’s news is only third. There’s no need for her to be so tense and domineering.

One must admit, Jinxia’s timing in releasing the news today was too coincidental, leaving Deng Zhaoyan quietly suffering a loss!

Deng Zhaoyan knew her agent was right, and after a long time, she calmed down, albeit not without breaking a few vases, controlling herself not to lose her temper. She managed to complete the wedding with fake smiles using her acting skills.

A week after Deng Zhaoyan’s wedding, her agent officially submitted their resignation to the company, then flew abroad for a vacation. They changed everything, including their phone card, leaving Deng Zhaoyan unable to find them.

In the latter half of July, foreign blockbusters arrived in droves, seizing the summer box office. "Special Action" was postponed by two and a half months before ultimately being pulled from the schedule, achieving a domestic box office of 451 billion in Huaxia alone.

This result broke the highest box office record for domestic films in Huaxia!

Other major films that hit 500 billion in box office took the global perspective, but "Special Action" was not released simultaneously worldwide; negotiations with international cinemas had yet to conclude.

So this 400 billion plus achievement is not the end for "Special Action." Everyone is eagerly waiting to see, anticipating whether "Special Action" could truly become a dark horse in the global top ten grossing films this year.

Time passed swiftly, and September arrived.

In September, the Venice Film Festival opened, and "Special Action" caught the last train to successfully register for the film festival, joyfully receiving five nominations!

"Special Action" swept up nominations for the most important Movie King, Movie Queen, and Best New Director Debut among others, becoming the film with the most nominations at this year’s Venice Film Festival!

This news reached Huaxia and caused a great sensation, with everyone praising "Special Action" as a beacon of hope, eagerly awaiting the crew to achieve outstanding results at this world-renowned film festival!

No matter how people previously underestimated "Special Action," even the critics came together at this moment, united in the hope that "Special Action" would win awards.

Even the previously pessimistic marketing accounts were now unanimously optimistic. Playing around domestically is fine, but internationally, Huaxia’s films and crews are the coolest!

[Wishing the "Special Action" crew a triumphant start and a victorious return!]

[With five nomination, battling for the Venice Golden Lion Award!]

[Victory or defeat in one fell swoop, wishing "Special Action" awards glory and returns!]

...

As a film released in the first half of the year in Huaxia, the achievements of "Special Action" are truly remarkable. It broke the box office record for Huaxia this year and the highest box office record for Huaxia films!

Previously, Jinxia joked with Luo You that if the film’s achievements were half of "World," they could laugh secretly. No one expected that two and a half months later, "Special Action" would achieve such high box office.

Just looking at the Huaxia box office, "Special Action" has already completely surpassed the previous year’s "World." After all, "World"’s over 500 billion combined were viewed globally, while "Special Action" has not been released in other countries.

Cracking the foreign market is too difficult, even though this movie is excellent, Director Qian lacks connections in this regard. Overseas copyright sales are incredibly challenging, and the benefits aren’t aligning.

When the news of the Venice Film Festival nominations came over, foreign copyright holders relaxed the terms a bit.

But Director Qian has a temper too, knowing the movie has many nominations and could very likely win one, he simply chose not to negotiate at all, focusing on waiting for the film festival to open in September, and negotiates after winning!

Anyway, the outcomes negotiated before winning are almost all he had to accept. If they win, he’ll be happier and could gain more benefits.

Even just winning a small award is different, being recognized internationally adds prestige!

On the film festival opening day, all members of the "Special Action" crew set off together, dressed in a gorgeous Hanfu.

Although they filmed a modern movie, it didn’t prevent them from wearing Huaxia’s unique Hanfu. In situations that highlight cultural pride, no one would want to miss out.

Jinxia wore a light pink Flowers Floor-Length Skirt, draped with a crescent-white jacket, styled in the Moon Approaching Bun, with a gold-plated gemstone topaz and jade hairpin diagonally inserted.

Due to the hot weather, she held a semi-transparent thorny wood fragrance daisy Guillotine fan; when walking, the fan gently waved about, presenting an elegant and leisurely appearance, causing everyone who looked to find her utterly gracious.

Gong Hongyu dressed in a scholar’s attire, paired with a handsome appearance, he looked very urbane.

From ancient times to now, men’s clothing changes are not as varied as women’s, and at a glance, the men in the "Special Action" crew wore Confucian clothes. While the clothing details differed, they were mostly similar.

The most discernible differences are the colors of their clothes, each color is distinct.

As for the female actors in the "Special Action" crew, their dresses were bright and colorful. If categorized into palace drama standards, everyone wore clothes fit for an Empress.

On an international stage, no one wants to be outshined by anyone else, even if playing an insignificant role, the red carpet is vibrant and competitive, disregarding whether you have a major or minor role.

September also coincides with the season of international fashion weeks; the Venice Film Festival opens earlier than the fashion weeks, serving as a warm-up for them this time.

The celebrities that walk the red carpet at international film festivals are mostly genuine talents with international influence.

Jinxia and her group walked onto the red carpet, immediately met with a frenzy of media photography.

The media shouted Jinxia’s name the most, hoping she’ll pose differently.

Director Qian even vaguely heard a reporter shout his name, feeling surprised, his smile became even brighter.

"Special Action," being the film with the most award nominations at the Venice Film Festival, the media had already studied them well, recognized their appearances. When they arrived, who wouldn’t want to take a shot?

After all, this is indeed the crew favored to win the awards!

"Jinxia, look here!"

"Director, smile! Pose for us!"

"Here, here, everyone look at me!"

"Jinxia, He Jinxia, I love you!" Some reporters blew kisses while photographing Jinxia, clearly a fervent fan of Jinxia.
