1206 Playing Dirty Tricks

Aside from Liang Chengbing, there was also Gao Zishan, Dong Qinrong, Cao Jingcheng, and Zhang Shuidong. They were all judges for the film festival this time around.

Besides Liang Chengbing, Sun Yiwu and Ji Cheng were also part of the directors involved as judges for the film festival.

However, as Lu Man's name was sent in for both Best Female Lead and Best Supporting Female Lead categories, Sun Yiwu and Ji Cheng both needed to be excluded from these two categories, so they could only participate as judges in the other award categories.

After a while, Gao Zishan, Dong Qinrong, Cao Jingcheng, and Zhang Shuidong arrived.

Thereafter, Sun Yiwu and Ji Cheng came together as well.

"Zhiqing, long time no see." Sun Yiwu was more familiar with Yan Zhiqing and smiled as he greeted her.

"Director Sun, Director Ji," Yan Zhiqing immediately greeted them.

"I heard that you were filming for Anubis previously. It's no easy feat, being able to get such an important role in a Hollywood film," Sun Yiwu said.

"Please don't say that. I'm just lucky. I watched your and Director Ji's movies," Yan Zhiqing immediately said. "Both of you are now the top renowned directors in the country. I'm afraid I won't stand a chance to act in any of your future movies."

"Aish, I just got lucky with the film this time," Ji Cheng said as he smiled.

That was on top of Lu Man's actions, which had helped.

If he shot another film, it would definitely not have the same results.

Sun Yiwu laughed as he said, "How can that be? I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to invite you to act in my films now."

"You think too highly of me. As long as you give the word, I will definitely come and act in your film. If both of you have any upcoming films, please keep me in mind." Yan Zhiqing seized the opportunity to say this.

Although she had the Yan family and the Han family as her backing, the families could not entirely control who the directors picked.

Especially since she did not want her family to specially invest in her acting career, she had to be smooth and a little sly when seizing opportunities for herself.

However, Yan Zhiqing also took sides with people.

She knew that Sun Yiwu and Ji Cheng were on good terms with Lu Man, so she naturally would not mind being friendly with both of them.

As for Liang Chengbing—

Haha, go to hell!

When he saw that Yan Zhiqing did not bother talking to him aside from an initial greeting when she came in but instead kept flattering Sun Yiwu and Ji Cheng, Liang Chengbing's face immediately fell.

Yan Zhiqing obviously thought that he was beneath Sun Yiwu and Ji Cheng. She was looking down on him!

Liang Chengbing pulled a long face and said in a low voice, "Since everyone is here, let's start."

Sun Yiwu smiled and Ji Cheng sat down. Yan Zhiqing also went back to her seat.

The staff passed the name list for the various categories to each of the judges.

They needed to vote from the name list the actors or actresses that would get into the nomination round.

Only the ones that have entered the nomination round would be considered to have been nominated.

"Let's start from the Best Film award," Gao Zishan said.

"There's mine and Brother Ji's film in this category. Both of us will abstain from the voting, then," Sun Yiwu said.

Although that was what he said, this round was only the voting to select the list of nominees. Everyone still had to give them face.

Without a doubt, both of them were selected.

One by one, the awards were voted on. Finally, it was time to vote for the Best Female Lead.

Seeing Lu Man's name on the list, Liang Chengbing scoffed.

With him around, how could he possibly allow Lu Man to be nominated?

Ha!

It did not matter whether it was the Best Female Lead or Best Supporting Female Lead.

He would not even let her make it to the nomination round!

So what if she had Wang Juhuai?

Could it be possible that Wang Juhuai would interfere with the panel of judges for the film festival?

Furthermore, with so many guests around to vote, could Wang Juhuai still blame him for anything?

"I don't agree with nominating Lu Man for Best Female Lead," Liang Chengbing said.

Sun Yiwu and Ji Cheng's faces immediately darkened.
