Chapter 623: Chapter 623

This was a question no one had ever thought of.

Luo You frowned, pondered for a moment, and hesitated, "Personally, I guess it’s difficult, but upon careful thought, it’s not entirely impossible, after all, not all the awards at the film festival are major ones; there are also many inconsequential awards.

The team of ’Crash Through the World’ could push in this direction, but whether it can be nominated is uncertain. I feel these awards often depend more on luck, and of course, these awards are often monopolized by famous teams."

Both Luo You and He Jinxia knew that it was not unusual for well-known films to receive awards; the key was the nomination spots.

Nomination spots concern whether the team can enter the film festival, so these spots are particularly precious, with generally three or more films nominated for each award.

If ’Crash Through the World’ had other resources to exert additional effort, it might really be nominated for the Venice Film Festival.

Toward the end of the conversation, He Jinxia mentioned to pay attention to tomorrow’s news, expecting something from JY, and then, without waiting for Luo You to ask, she quickly hung up the phone.

Facing Mommy Luo’s nagging, He Jinxia expressed she had no courage to endure it again.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, her cellphone rang again. This time, it was her dear boyfriend sending his heartfelt greetings.

He Jinxia raised a bitter smile on her face, feeling life’s splendid irony; normally, no one sought her out, but the moment there was an issue, everyone rushed to contact her, as if queuing up for treats.

Facing her own boyfriend, Jinxia was much more at ease. She hung up on the voice call from Sheng Yan and then dialed back a video call.

She briefly mentioned that she had caught a cold and needed rest. Sheng Yan then stopped talking, only suggesting she set the phone aside.

He Jinxia thought for a moment, her eyes glinting slyly, and deliberately positioned her phone on the nightstand, aimed right at where her head lay.

No matter how she turned, lifting her head would let her gaze upon Sheng Yan’s handsome profile slightly bent, seemingly busy with paperwork.

He Jinxia felt a sense of reassurance, and under Mr. Sheng’s company, soon drifted into sleep.

The next day, as soon as He Jinxia arrived at the set, she noticed the staff gathered in groups, discussing something earnestly.

Drawing nearer, He Jinxia caught the topic of their discussion—it involved Wen Ningning!

A knowing look flitted across her eyes. She checked her phone; it was now nine in the morning, and the news of Wen Ningning’s withdrawal had already spread, quicker than she had anticipated.

She entered the makeup room and was promptly ushered into the changing room to put on today’s outfit—the men’s Confucian clothes, still with two tufts of mustache stuck under her nose.

Given it was a male disguise, everything aimed for simplicity and authenticity. The makeup artist, armed with yesterday’s experience, finished her makeup swiftly today.

After He Jinxia was ready, Qiu Zhenze was still not done; he too was dressing in drag today. While waiting, she took out her phone, finally having time to scroll through World.

She did not have to search long; in the top three trending topics, she found #WenNingningOfficiallyWithdraws#, followed by a bright red "Breaking" tag. She believed that as time passed, this topic would climb to the first position.

Wen Ningning posted on Weibo around 8:30 PM, officially announcing that she had already proposed her withdrawal from JY, and not only that, she also subtly tore into her old Boss.

Of course, she didn’t dare mention Tonghua Entertainment outright—no matter how bold she was, she wouldn’t dare offend such a media giant. However, the lead agent and the captain of JY weren’t beyond her fear.

Wen Ningning: "Time flies, and I’ve also been with JY for six years. The scenes of me participating in the singing competition seem like just yesterday when I close my eyes.

I’m glad that I had JY’s company for these six years. We overcame difficulties together, advanced and retreated as one, and grew together.

I’m honored to have had your company for these six years, which has allowed me much growth. But all feasts must end, and based on my personal development needs, I’ve decided to leave JY girl group today and seek a new development in the entertainment field.

I know many must wonder why I’m leaving, especially when my current situation is really bad, and leaving JY might mean never achieving past glories again.

Actually, my development in the girl group has already hit a bottleneck. Captain Li Zimu has advised me, saying everything will pass, but I feel I can’t get over it...

JY is my home, and it’s hard to part with, but alas, I must leave. If my departure can bring about a more stable development for JY, and help JY overcome this crisis, then I’m more than willing to do so. I love JY, even more than I’ve loved myself!

Farewell, my fans. Farewell, my friends. I hope when we meet again, everyone will have been reborn from the ashes, breaking out of the cocoon into butterflies, living as the people you wish to be! "

A hint of a playful smile crossed He Jinxia’s eyes as she noted the content revealed in this Weibo post—it had a rich amount of information, and different meanings could be derived from different perspectives.

Under this Weibo post, fans had already stirred up quite a mess. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveI(F)ire.net

Initially, it was Wen Ningning’s fans who first noticed this Weibo post of their idol. As fans, even though it was hard to let go, all they could do was to wish her well on her new journey and a future as bright as brocade.

However, the well-wishes gradually started to turn sour as fans began to defend Wen Ningning.

Fans of other members of JY came to look, saw these comments, and exploded, leading both sides to start bickering. Eventually, onlookers who were there for the entertainment also joined in, churning up the storm fiercely.

"Why does Ningning have to leave? It’s clearly because JY’s PR team isn’t doing its job! JY owes Ningning an apology!"

"That’s really funny to hear. Why can’t she leave? Isn’t it JY that’s become lifeless, mainly dragged down by Wen Ningning’s scandal?"

"The comment above is the funny one. Everyone in JY’s team has scandals, not just Ningning. Why should all the blame be pinned on her to take the fall?"

"As a lurker, I don’t understand why you all are arguing. It’s all clearly written on Weibo, that it was JY who asked Wen Ningning to leave."

"’If her leaving could bring stability to the team, she would be more than willing to make that happen’—did you all just ignore this? From what it seems, Wen Ningning is slightly more innocent."

"I’m a fan of JY, but I don’t think Wen Ningning is innocent at all. It’s largely her scandals that dragged JY down to this state."

"I think it’s not just the scandals dragging them down, JY internally has serious issues too. Think about it, He Jinxia left the group the year before last, Meng Wan last year, and this year it’s Wen Ningning’s turn. Who knows if another member will be leaving next year? Continual departures from the group clearly indicate issues within the team."
