Lin Kaiyan was even more frustrated because this was, in fact, his one shot at maintaining his status as the film emperor. He had never been able to lead the box office while Song Chenxing and even Xiao Chennan could!
“I believe everyone can tell that I totally did not expect to receive this award today. It is really beyond my wildest expectations. However, I believe that the reason I am able to receive this award is not simply because of my acting skills, but rather that <Mysteries of Heaven> could achieve such good ratings because of all the hard work put in by the all the cast and crew members. Therefore, I think that this award should belong to the entire cast and crew, and this includes my precious apprentice, Jiang Yuning.”
“I would really like to praise her and give her some credit tonight. While we were filming the drama, she would always be the first and earliest person to arrive at the filming set and the last to leave. Yuning knows that she is not looked upon favourably and that is the reason why she worked ten times harder than anyone else to prepare for her role. In order to prepare for the role of Lin Ping’er, Yuning studied Chinese medicine so diligently that at the end of the day, everyone in the production cast and crew looked for her to seek medicine for any illness that they had. This is the reason why I believe that Yuning is a good actress and she deserves the fame and attention that she is receiving now. Yuning, I am your teacher and I am more than happy to guide you and help you to improve your acting skills anytime you need any help at all.”
When Jiang Yuning heard Song Chenxing’s words, she stood up and bowed down to him as a gesture of appreciation.
Lastly, Song Chenxing and Yao Fan exchanged glances with one another but Song Chenxing did not need to say anything because Yao Fan had understood everything.
When Song Chenxing finally returned to Yao Fan’s side after getting off stage, Yao Fan was extremely excited. “Do you think that I should buy a lottery ticket today? I had already told you that you would definitely win an award and take the trophy home tonight! Don’t you think that Lin Kaiyan will be extremely enraged and frustrated right now?”
“Are you not upset or depressed at all?” Jiang Yuning asked as she looked at Yao Fan.
Yao Fan shook her head. “I feel as glorious and happy because both of you won awards for yourselves! Moreover, I watched Hua Anxia’s drama and I have to admit that her acting is indeed much better than mine. I am just really glad that Lin Kaiyan did not win the award. Otherwise, I would have been really unhappy because I do not think he is deserving of it at all!”
The winner of the best actor award was actually Song Chenxing! Who was behind this?
Initially, the audience had already acquiesced that Lin Kaiyan would be winning the award and the tile of the film emperor once again. This was because Lin Kaiyan had already done so much behind the scenes in a bid to secure his title. Unexpectedly, Song Chenxing suddenly appeared and won the award instead.
As soon Lin Kaiyan’s fans found out about it, they were all extremely enraged!
[Why did Song Chenxing win the award instead? Is there something shady going on amongst the judges for the Golden Shadow Awards ceremony?]
[There is definitely something shady going on! Do you know how much our Brother Kaiyan suffered in order to film his last drama? Why should Song Chenxing be the one to win the best actor award?]
[The entire organising committee of the Golden Shadow Awards ceremony has definitely been bought over by Song Chenxing! We are all very dissatisfied with the winner of the best actor award! We want the judges to publicise their decisions on this matter!]
[Sob. Sob. It hurts to see Brother Kaiyan sitting at the back instead of taking the limelight.]
[Are the judges for the Golden Shadow Awards ceremony blind? Can’t you see the kind of acting skills and ability that Brother Kaiyan has?]
At this time, it was not only Song Chenxing or Yao Fan’s fans, but even the mere passers-by felt that Lin Kaiyan’s fans were extremely thick-skinned.
[Is it only reasonable for your idol to win the award? So, you believe that something shady is definitely going on just because someone else aside from your idol has actually won the award?]
[To be honest, Song Chenxing is already the biggest film emperor in the whole of China. This is not the first time that he is winning the best actor award. Do you really think that Lin Kaiyan has the ability to compete with Song Chenxing at all? Song Chenxing is not only an actor specializing in dramas but he has also appeared in numerous blockbuster movies!]
[Sorry but I feel that Lin Kaiyan should address Song Chenxing as his senior instead.]
[I had already wanted to say this last year, but did Lin Kaiyan really win the best actor award because of his acting skills last year?]
[I really want to knock Lin Kaiyan’s fans on their head. Don’t they know that Song Chenxing is already the film emperor?]
[I really loved that fact that Song Chenxing shared his achievement with his entire cast and crew, and also the fact that he actually spoke up for and defended his apprentice, Jiang Yuning, in his speech.]
[Anyone can be dissatisfied but if you are dissatisfied with Song Chenxing, then I am sorry but you have to hold your breath.]
Lin Kaiyan finally left indignantly and he even ignored his partner. However, Hua Anxia was also not interested to leave with Lin Kaiyan. She was already very excited as she held the best actress award in her hand.
At the same time, Hua Anxia found the whole situation very hilarious.
This was because right before the awards ceremony, it seemed as though Lin Kaiyan and herself were destined to be the final victors at the end of this ceremony. However, little did she expect Lin Kaiyan to go home empty handed that night.
Hahaha.
Hua Anxia thought about what Lin Kaiyan had said before when he humiliated Jiang Yuning, and when he made it seem as though he despised the drama script for <Yan Huasu>. What was most humiliating was the fact that the best actor award and the title of the film emperor actually fell into someone else’s hands. Wasn’t this a slap across the face for Lin Kaiyan?
However, this had nothing to do with her at all.
…
After the awards ceremony, Jiang Yuning was about to leave the scene together with Yao Fan and Song Chenxing. Lin Kaiyan was one fo the first to exit the venue and as he walked, he hit the boy standing in front of him but he did not even bother to apologize to the boy. At this time, Lin Kaiyan’s assistant even pushed the boy aside just so that Lin Kaiyan could walk pass and enter his car as soon as possible.
“You are really lucky that Lin Kaiyan rejected the role of the first male lead for <Yan Huasu>. You will definitely suffer if you were to work together with him,” Yao Fan suddenly mumbled as they stood at the side.
However, at this time, Jiang Yuning’s focus was on the young boy who had been pushed aside by Lin Kaiyan’s assistant.
She seemed to have a slight impression of this young boy.
This young boy was on fire recently because he was very handsome and that is why he was adored and well-liked by his fans.
“Are you okay?” the young boy’s agent asked as he tried to suppress his anger. “So what if he used to be the film emperor? Does that mean that he can hit someone and push them aside whenever he wants to? He is such a scumbag!”
“Don’t worry, I am fine,” the young boy replied as he shook his head. “I will remember what happened here today.”
It was obvious that the young boy’s self-esteem had been heavily injured.
“Little disciple, what are you looking at? It’s time for you to go home already. Won’t your parents be looking for you?” Yao Fan asked as she hinted Jiang Yuning.
As soon as Jiang Yuning heard Yao Fan’s reminder, she quickly took out her cell phone to check her messages. She realized that Lu Jingzhi had indeed sent her a couple of text messages.
“Where are you?”
“I am already near the venue of the awards ceremony. Give me a call once you are down?”
“Where are you now?”
At this time, Jiang Yuning quickly replied his text message: “Second Brother, I am outside.”
She was more than ready to jump on his abs.
“Teachers, I am leaving first!”
When Yao Fan saw Jiang Yuning rushing off, she could not help but shook her head as she said, “It seems as though Second Young Master Lu is really spoiling our little disciple.”
“Then, let’s head home already. It’s time for me to spoil you,” Song Chenxing replied as he walked behind Yao Fan.
Yao Fan turned around to look at Song Chenxing and she felt extreme warmth and sweetness in her heart.
Why was she envious of others anyway?
As for Lin Kaiyan…
The situation was even more awkward and embarrassing for him after the awards ceremony because news about the winner of the best actor award finally got out to the public.
Moreover, Lin Kaiyan had been so arrogant and unbearable when he walked the red carpet earlier that night.
At the end of the day, he was disgraced and it seemed as though he had made a complete fool out of himself.
Lin Kaiyan’s fans continued complaining that the organizing committee and judges for the Golden Shadow Awards ceremony were shady but the passers-by knew that Song Chenxing’s acting skills were definitely better than Lin Kaiyan’s. In fact, Lin Kaiyan could not even be compared to Song Chenxing because he did not even have any experience acting in any movies at all.
When the fans of the <Yan Huasu> book heard about the news, they were all celebrating.
[Didn’t you look down on all of us?]
[I am going out to buy some firecrackers to celebrate tonight. At the same time, I have also decided to become a fan of Song Chenxing!]
[Those who are arrogant and full of themselves would always fall. As the saying goes, there is always heaven’s reincarnation!]
