When Lu Zhen was practicing her guitar and singing, Yang Na lay on her bed and played with her phone. When she first met Lu Zhen, Yang Na still wanted to use Lu Zhen as her goal and work hard to shorten the distance between the two of them.

However, as time passed, her thoughts became more and more faint.

On the one hand, the two of them were becoming more and more familiar with each other. Her motivation to treat her as a competitor and catch up to her was gradually weakening. On the other hand, Yang Na realized that the gap between the two of them was too big.

Not only was Lu Zhen talented in acting, but she also had a shockingly rich experience.

Yang Na still remembered that she had once found a recommendation list for a niche movie online. She had only seen two of the more than twenty movies on it. At that time, she had forwarded the recommendation list to Lu Zhen.

In the end, Lu Zhen casually said, “Why have I seen all of them? Looks like these movies aren’t that niche.’

A few question marks popped up in Yang Na’s mind. This was not niche? She had never even heard of most of the movies! Is there a possibility that your viewership is too abnormal?!

Yang Na turned over on Lu Zhen’s bed and swiped her finger across her phone. Suddenly, she saw a piece of news and sat up immediately.

“By the way, do you remember someone I mentioned to you before?” Yang Na asked.

Lu Zhen, who was looking at the score, turned around. “Who is it?”

“It’s the newbie that Lu He hired. 1 followed her on my alternate account and saw her post just now. She has also joined the production team of Rain and Fog.”

Lu Zhen nodded. “That’s nothing. It means that she’s capable and has obtained the approval of the casting director.”

“No, don’t you think her improvement speed is too exaggerated? She was originally just an outsider who had never acted before, but now she can actually enter the production team ot Rain and Fog!”

In “Rain and Fog”, even the actor who played the sweeper was a veteran actor who had been famous for more than 30 years. It was obvious that people without acting skills would never appear in the scenes of “Rain and Fog.”

Director Gao Fan would not allow a rat to ruin a pot of porridge in his work. Even an unqualified scene could not exist.

Lu Zhen thought for two seconds and agreed. “Then she’s indeed very talented. Perhaps she was born to be an actress.”

“Other than you, she’s the second person who makes me feel that she’s very talented in acting. Coincidentally, she’s also a newcomer recruited by Lu He. Perhaps the two of you will interact more in the future,” Yang Na predicted.

Lu Zhen smiled. “This industry isn’t that big. So be it. The market is so big, and the cake doesn’t belong to me alone. It’s a good thing for the entertainment industry that more good actors can appear.”

Yang Na glanced at her. “You have a high level of thinking, but I want to remind you that Lu He has a feud with you. If he successfully brainwashes Luo Xia, she might not have any good intentions towards you.”

“It’s fine if she does. There are many people who hate me. One more doesn’t affect me.’

Lu Zhen did not have a deep impression of Luo Xia. After leaving Lu He’s company, she did not want to have anything to do with the Lu family anymore. She was naturally not interested in paying attention to the people from Lu He Company.

Time passed in the blink of an eye.

In June, “Beauty” was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film at the Grail Film Festival, the International Film Critics Union Award, and the Best Actress award.

Lu Zhen went to Barrand to participate in the film festival with the production team and the other main leads. It was rare for her to go overseas, and the company even sent a photography team to follow Lu Zhen, preparing to take a few photos in a foreign country.

Lu Zhen’s nomination for the Best Actress award at the Holy Grail Film Festival caused a strong sensation in the country. In the eyes of the netizens, this meant that Lu Zhen already had the strength to step into the international film industry.

However, before Lu Zhen participated in the film festival, Ye Xuan and Lu Zhen had analyzed that it was almost impossible for her to win the Best Actress Award.

Not only was the competition at this year’s Holy Grail Film Festival very intense, but Lu Zhen was also a new face. The Holy Grail Film Festival would actively encourage newcomers, but it was rare for important awards to be directly awarded to new faces.

Lu Zhen was not disappointed. She just treated it as coming to the film festival to broaden her horizons.

On the way to the film festival in Barrand, Xu Rui was not in a good mood.

Although “Beauty” was nominated for the film festival, this honor had nothing to do with her.

All the attention of the domestic netizens was on Lu Zhen. She and the character she played had almost no popularity. When it came to overseas, Lu Zhen would also be nominated for the Best Actress Award. Without a doubt, the foreign media would only focus their attention on Lu Zhen..
