Chapter 557: Fate Has to Be Faced

“Hehe.”

Yun Xiangxiang sneered and pulled her hand out.

She touched his Song Mian’s face with a pained expression. “I feel sorry for you. It’s late. You should take care of yourself and rest early.” Her heart beating quicker, she pulled out her hand and pushed him out of the room

With that, she closed the door with a smile and locked it with a bang. She did it cleanly.

Song Mian looked at the tightly shut door and couldn’t help but chuckle.

It was at this moment that Song Yao came upstairs. At the corner of the stairs, he saw his young master being chased out of Yun Xiangxiang’s room.

Song Yao thought about how his young master didn’t get angry when she closed the door so forcefully. Instead, he smiled!

He suspected that his young master had changed his mind and was no longer the young master he used to be.

Song Mian stood there for a while. When he turned around, he saw Song Yao’s bewildered expression.

Song Mian knew very well what the butler was thinking. He was in a good mood, so he didn’t want to argue with him.

On the day of the opening ceremony, the venue of the film festival was very lively. Movie stars from all over the world were gathered together.

This was not the red carpet for the awards ceremony. It was held during the day, so there was no need for Yun Xiangxiang to follow the production team. Yun Xiangxiang also followed the procedure at a leisurely pace.

There were quite a number of procedures for the opening ceremony. Although He Wei didn’t follow her, he had already prepared everything for her. Yun Xiangxiang only needed to follow the procedures. There was also a short interview with the media, Yun Xiangxiang’s answers would be published.

There were also some who would shoot indoors. Yun Xiangxiang didn’t bring her own cameraman, nor did she have such plans.

The next few days were the film festival activities. There would be films from various countries competing to be broadcasted in fixed locations. However, it was impossible for so many films to be broadcasted in one day. Of course, they would be distributed in batches.

“The King’s Plan” and “First Love” would be shown in the next few days. However, Yun Xiangxiang thought that she would come every day in the beginning.

She planned to watch other films and discuss with people she knew. She wanted to observe how other film festival activities would be conducted.

Originally, she wanted to meet and greet the members of the jury. However, she couldn’t chat with them since there were too many people. If she went forward without knowing anything about them, she would only attract the disgust of others.

It was at this time that she realized that she had met the chairman of the judging panel once before, a friend of Xie Manliang. Previously, he had even gone to China to help guide the scene that went through the alarm system.

Yun Xiangxiang only smiled and nodded politely when she saw him. There were too many people around him, so she didn’t want to squeeze past them.

She got to know a few actors that she had not interacted with in the country before. They were all capable people. After chatting for a while, she greeted her acquaintances and then started to focus on the film festival alone.

Suddenly, a voice sounded beside her, “What style of film do you like?”

Yun Xiangxiang turned her head and met Brendan’s pair of blue eyes. She couldn’t help but look left and right. To her surprise, there was no one following him, and she had unknowingly come to a small corner that no one was interested in.

“I don’t pick a style, nor do I pick a theme. I like all good-looking films,” Yun Xiangxiang replied with a smile.

Brendan was Xie Manliang’s good friend and the chairman of the judging panel for this year’s film festival.

“Your words show me your ambition,” Brendan said expressionlessly.

Yun Xiangxiang was not frightened. Instead, she met his gaze calmly. “I think any actor has the same ambition. They want to participate in films with different styles and themes, mold different characters, and export different works.”

Brendan examined Yun Xiangxiang seriously for a while before saying, “What do you think of Joseph’s ‘Confessions of Jean-jacques Rousseau’ and Xie Manliang’s ‘David’ to me?”

Yun Xiangxiang pursed her lips and smiled. “Regardless of fate, face it with your head held high.”

She successfully saw a hint of surprise flash in Brendan’s calm eyes.

The last time they met, he had to come and go in a hurry, so they didn’t have the chance to speak to each other.

Other than the brief interaction during filming, they probably didn’t interfere too much out of respect. At most, they only gave Xie Manliang advice. Therefore, Yun Xiangxiang basically didn’t speak to them.

After they left, Yun Xiangxiang would occasionally chat with Xie Manliang. Xie Manliang had said everything she could.

One day, she was so happy that she even revealed to Yun Xiangxiang and Xue Yu that the famous director, Brendan, was actually a fan of fantasy novels.

Brendan was a legendary director. Six years ago, he directed a film that swept through the top 15 film awards and became a god.

However, his film didn’t make much of a splash in the past six years. However, his glorious record was enough to establish his status.

His road to fame was also very bumpy. Xie Manliang once said that his two wives divorced him because he was poor.

One could imagine how depressed he was before he became famous, but he didn’t let it pull his ambitions down. He faced difficulties head-on and persevered until today.

Yun Xiangxiang’s words not only suited him personally, but it was also a classic quote from a famous fantasy novel.

This didn’t contain any scheming. It was purely to encourage herself.

“What do you think of the ending of this novel?” Brendan asked calmly.

It was unknown whether he was testing Yun Xiangxiang to see if she had really read the novel, or if he wanted to communicate with her.

In fact, this novel was something stored in the original memory. The memory was quite deep, and Yun Xiangxiang could almost do it with ease.

“Many people said that the ending was very rushed, and there wasn’t a great battle, but I think it was very full. It let me know that darkness and light are coexisting. evil and justice can not completely destroy one side.”

Yun Xiangxiang yearned for the good. She also hoped that there would be more good in the world, but she knew that it was impossible for all places to be true, good, and beautiful. One had to know that when the water was clear, there would be no fish.

How could one know whether happiness was happiness without pain? And how could one know whether pain was pain without happiness?

“You surprised me. I hope that we can have the opportunity to work together in the future.” Brendan reached out his hand.

“I also hope to receive your guidance.” Yun Xiangxiang shook his hand.

Brendan had many things to do, so he had to leave soon enough. It was already rare for him to talk to Yun Xiangxiang for a few minutes.

After he left, Yun Xiangxiang was not affected at all. She continued to watch the movies that she was interested in.

After attending for five days, Yun Xiangxiang decided to rest for two days. Not everyone had to attend every day.

“Tomorrow, I’ll stay at home with you.” Yun Xiangxiang wrapped her arms around Song Mian’s back and rested her chin on his shoulders.

Song Mian was tidying up his textbooks. These few days, when Yun Xiangxiang returned from watching movies, she would fill in the knowledge for the next semester in advance. Those she didn’t understand would be guided by Song Mian.

“Perfect, I’ll take you out to play tomorrow.”

“Where to?” She was very curious.

“You’ll know tomorrow.” Song Mian lovingly tapped her nose.
