She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

Chapter 439 Reunion after a long absence

Pei Chaoying took a deep breath and gave a somewhat restrained smile to the woman in the mirror.

24 hours ago, the Dolby Theatre gave birth to the world's first Asian-American Oscar-winning actress.

Now, 24 hours later, she got the chance to have a face-to-face conversation with the film queen.

For Pei Chaoying, the feeling at this moment was no different from winning the lottery jackpot - after all, she was just an unknown little screenwriter, while the other party was a legendary figure who created a new history.

There is no doubt that a single word from this film queen can determine her future prospects and destiny.

Therefore, even though Pei Chaoying was full of confidence in his new work, he couldn't help but reveal a bit of uneasiness in his expression.

If only she would take a liking to this story and help make it into a movie...

Pei Chaoying thought silently, but he was not very sure.

Her memory of this person still stays in many years ago.

At that time, she was not yet the sought-after Oscar-winning actress, but just a young actress who was just beginning to emerge in Europe; she was not a poor and frustrated screenwriter, but just a student full of hope for the future.

So many years have passed, and the identities of both of them have changed drastically, and their personalities may not be exactly the same as before.

Will she still be as gentle and kind as before?

Pei Chaoying subconsciously hugged the document bag tightly in his arms, and his expression unconsciously became depressed.

If she wasn't really desperate, she wouldn't want to show her most embarrassing side in front of the lady she once admired...

"Miss Maggie, please come in." The woman in an exquisite suit smiled and helped her open the door of the reception room. Her every move was full of the neatness of a professional woman.

Pei Chaoying withdrew his gaze and nodded belatedly.

If she guessed correctly, this should be the rumored Sunrise - a film company co-founded by Su Lingxi and Joey Cox. In recent years, it has released several small and medium-cost films in Hollywood, and the results have been very good.

Since I chose to meet her in the company's reception room, does it mean...her fantasy might become reality?

Thinking of this, Pei Chaoying's heartbeat quickened unconsciously.

"Miss Maggie?" The legendary figure was sitting on the sofa in the living room. When he saw her coming, he stood up with a smile and extended his hand. "Hello."

"Hello." Pei Chaoying held the hand with trepidation, and unconsciously glanced at the woman opposite him out of the corner of his eye.

Compared to a few years ago, she seems to have grown up and her beauty is even more stunning. The combination of white suspenders and high-waisted jeans makes her look tall and have long legs. She has lost some of the gorgeous and cold look she had on the red carpet and looks more like a college student full of youthfulness.

When she met the familiar black hair and black eyes, Pei Chaoying felt a sense of familiarity in her heart - after last night, many tabloids believed that she was able to win the Oscar because of her face that was very similar to a Jewish person and she was able to win over David LeBlanc - as a compatriot, Pei Chaoying especially hated this statement.

"Please sit down, tea or coffee?" She sat down on the sofa again and asked gently.

"Just water, thank you."

"Um...should I call you Maggie or Miss Pei?"

Pei Chaoying raised his head in surprise, with a look of disbelief.

Su Lingxi was amused by the girl's rapidly changing expression, "It seems like you are surprised that I still remember you?"

The familiar hometown language appeared in her ears, and Pei Chaoying was surprised and a little overwhelmed - she really didn't expect that the other party still remembered her.

Or rather, she was still willing to admit that she "remembered" her.

After two years of working in the entertainment industry, Pei Chaoying has seen some of the behaviors of celebrities.

Some people, as soon as they become a little famous, can't wait to kick away their friends in their previous circle, acting very high and arrogant. In fact, they are just third-tier small-time artists who are not very famous. If they were in Hollywood, they would disappear without a trace.

The person in front of her was obviously not of the same level as those she had met in the past, but he was more cultured than all of them combined.

"No, I, I just didn't expect it." Pei Chaoying replied embarrassedly, her ears slightly red.

Su Lingxi gave her a soothing smile and said, "Don't be nervous. I've read your script. It's a good story and very suitable for being made into a movie."

This is not a lie.

After all the parties were over last night, Su Lingxi carefully read the script outline sent by Joey.

The story of "The Enlightened" is set in the United States in the middle of the last century, when the times were undergoing unprecedented changes. The heroine Caroline graduated from a new-style university with an open, free and avant-garde atmosphere. She is full of ideals and enthusiasm, but the women's college where she works is still limited to teaching students how to marry a good husband.

Caroline did not choose to follow the school's traditional teaching practices and style like other teachers. Instead, she boldly challenged the outdated teaching system of the women's college.

The story itself is not complicated, but the rare female perspective and story concept add a lot of brilliance to the script.

As far as Su Lingxi can remember, no one in Hollywood has ever made a film of this kind told from the perspective of a female teacher.

As long as they plan well, they might be able to turn this script into a well-received film.

Pei Chaoying had no idea what Su Lingxi was thinking. At this moment, she was looking at the person opposite her with surprise, her eyes full of hope.

Before coming to Los Angeles, she had taken her script to a French director, trying to recommend herself, but the director was very dismissive of her new work: "Come on, Maggie, can you please wake up? Who would want to watch a movie with a few old nuns? No audience would go to the cinema for such a movie."

The man was a third-rate director. He often had a fawning expression towards big directors and producers at other parties, but when he turned around and faced a small screenwriter like her, his expression changed instantly, and his tone became sharp and sarcastic, completely different from before.

All the way from Paris to Los Angeles, Pei Chaoying tried to comfort herself with various reasons - at least, she never thought that her work would be as bad as that person said.

But she didn't expect that as soon as they met, Su Lingxi not only gave a straightforward answer, but also expressed his appreciation for the whole story.

She is the screenwriter and the creator of stories, and no compliment could make her happier than this.
