After successfully walking the red carpet, Jiang Xiao soon entered the grand theater full of spectators and began to wait for the opening ceremony.

The red carpet ceremony was continuous, so with little effort, celebrities and entertainers also began to enter the theater. As he casually glanced around, he immediately saw many acquaintances from the industry.

For example, Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Yi, Wu Jing, and Jing Boran all took the initiative to come over and say hello.

Others, such as Hu Ge, Chen Ming (from the mainland), etc., who were not familiar with each other or were meeting for the first time, also came over to say hello in a friendly way.

This group of people can come together, they are obviously the main creators of the movie "The Climber".

All in all, because Zhang Ziyi is very close to Jiang Xiao, his senior sister in the Chinese drama took advantage of the fact that before the opening ceremony even started, she started chatting with him directly. Some things were nothing more than how he was doing, and how he was doing.

Machine contact and friendship.

During this process, other celebrities from all walks of life also began to enter the venue, including the main creators of the "Shanghai Fortress" crew, Shu Qi, Lu Han and others.

There are Wan Qian, Liao Fan, Gui Lunmei, Hu Ge and others from "The Party at Southern Station". Lao Hu is very busy and has walked the red carpet twice. There are Tang Wei, Lei Datou and others from "The Whistleblower".

There are Peng Yuyan, Xing Zhilei and others from "Emergency Rescue", there are a lot of people from the crew of "The Eight Hundred", and there are also people like Yao Cheng, Guo Caijie, Wang Luoduan, Zhang Jingchu and so on.

The women around Jiang Xiao, Tong Liyan and Guan Xiaotong, also came to participate in the film festival, even if they didn't have any works.

The ones with works above are not shortlisted works. To put it bluntly, today’s bunch of celebrity artists really have to be judged based on their works being shortlisted. Strictly speaking, none of them are, including Jiang Xiao.

However, film festivals need popularity and attention, and celebrity artists also need exposure for mutual benefit.

It’s the same as foreign film festivals, but it’s easy for people to complain about the red carpet and so on. How can I say this? Some people who have nothing to do find excuses to attack. After all, if you look deeply, everyone who can walk on the red carpet is

is officially allowed.

Of course, people who deliberately go to foreign film festivals to cause trouble to attract attention are indeed a bit embarrassing, and they must be the main reason why people attack them. This is the trend in today's society.

Putting all this aside, the opening ceremony will officially begin after everyone has entered the venue.

The hosts came on stage. They were the same lineup of two female hosts and one male host, not the three on the red carpet, but Jiang Xiao didn't recognize them either.

However, the hosting style was very serious. First, he introduced seven or eight official persons in charge, whose positions were quite high, such as those in Magic City.

After the introduction was over, Comrade Shizhang and several other responsible persons took the stage to deliver speeches one after another. It was really... very official.

After the person in charge gave a speech, the judges of each award unit were introduced one after another.

After that, celebrity guests were invited to take the stage to continue introducing the shortlisted works. The entire opening ceremony seemed to be an introduction ceremony.

No, towards the end, Jiang Xiao also took the stage to introduce the opening film of this film festival, the Chinese film "The Call Through Time."

After the main creator came on stage, he discovered that the starring role was actually Yao Di...

No matter what, after the several main creators talked about the creation of the movie, today's opening ceremony was basically completed and flowers were scattered.

It was night, in a restaurant in Shanghai, Jiang Xiao met his cheap mother-in-law for no apparent reason.

This was really not part of the plan.

As for the mother-in-law, uh... Guan Xiaotong's mother, apparently she accompanied her daughter to attend the film festival this time.

He had heard the woman mention it once before, saying that if she had time, her family would like to meet him.

But it was obvious that Guan Xiaotong himself didn't care much about this matter, so he never really met until tonight.

Although it was a bit sudden, Jiang Xiao was not "scared" or anything. He generously invited Guan's mother to sit down in the box and said: "Auntie, please sit down, Xiaotong."

"Thank you, Xiaojiang, don't be so polite, you can sit down too."

Guan's mother here naturally responded with a smile, and then continued to add: "I have wanted to see you for a long time, but I never had the chance. It just so happens that you and Xiaotong are here to participate in the film festival today, so

I wanted to meet you, Xiao Jiang, I didn’t delay you for anything, did I?”

"Everyone is here, why should we delay?"

Of course, this was not said by Jiang Xiao, but by Guan Xiaotong, who was next to Guan's mother. She had never met her before and insisted on taking this opportunity to meet Jiang Xiao. The key was that she called her without discussing it with her first.

She has a little temper.

And these words made Guan's mother glare at her daughter on the spot.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiao himself naturally came out to smooth things over: "No, no, Auntie, I have been resting during this period, and I don't have much work to do."

After finishing, he changed the topic and continued: "Auntie, why don't you order food first?"

"Okay, let's order first."

After giving her daughter a "go back and take care of you" look, Guan's mother agreed and ordered the food.

~~~~

After the ordered dishes were served one after another, a few people naturally started chatting and eating.

In other words, it was basically Guan's mother who was asking questions, Jiang Xiaotong was answering, and Guan Xiaotong would just challenge her mother's patience.

The questions they asked were all about his family status, whether he had any brothers or sisters, etc. So, the woman who was obviously on his side said why her mother was asking so many questions, like checking household registration and so on.

So much.

It can only be said that Guan Xiaotong probably hasn't eaten the "fried pork with bamboo shoots" made by Guan's mother for a long time.

"Xiao Jiang, don't blame Auntie for being too talkative. Have you ever considered getting married?"

"Auntie, what do you mean?"

At a certain moment, Jiang Xiao suddenly heard this sentence from Guan's mother again, and he was a little confused. After all, Guan Xiaotong was only twenty-one years old.

"It's nothing. I just think you've reached the age to get married. Didn't your parents urge you?"

Guan's mother was naturally satisfied with Jiang Xiao as her "son-in-law", or she was particularly satisfied. After all, he had a successful career and his daughter liked him, so it was the best choice.

However, she is not without worries. People who are too outstanding will be deceived a lot. She also does not want her daughter to be sad one day because of feelings.

It is best to finalize the relationship, such as getting married, even if the daughter is still very young.

"Sometimes."

Jiang Xiao told a white lie because his parents really didn't push him. Maybe they did before, but since he had his daughter Jiang Zhining, they no longer worry about his personal relationship issues.

"Mom, why are you asking this? How much do you dislike me that you are so eager to marry me off? I'm still a few months away from turning twenty-one, okay?"

After hesitating for a moment, Guan Xiaotong finally couldn't help but "target" her mother again.

After all, she knows her own affairs, and her relationship with Jiang Xiao is also different. Who will the man marry?

If you really want to get married, what about "little mother" Jiang Shuying, aside from other things, and what about the woman who gave birth to a daughter for the man?

"I just said you can think about it slowly first. It's not like it will happen right away. In a few years, when you are twenty-four or five years old, it will be almost done!"

Guan's mother was somewhat speechless. Why didn't her daughter always stand with her? Is this the so-called extroversion of girls?

"Auntie is right, you can think about it slowly first."

In order to prevent Guan Xiaotong from "quarreling" with his mother, and since the conversation had come to this point, Jiang Xiao naturally had to express his stance.

If not, it would seem that there is no need for a man to care about her at all. What will the cheap mother-in-law think?
