For a period of time, all the major media outlets competed in reporting this. Lin Wanwan’s popularity and status increased by yet another notch.
At the same time that they were shocked, they were also puzzled.
The day before the voting channels were closed, Lin Wanwan’s votes were still fewer than Lin Qingxi’s. How did she suddenly surpass her?
Lin Qingxi’s fans suspected that there was an inside story.
The Silver Deer Movie Festival had always adhered to the principles of fairness, justice, and transparency. Hearing that people were in doubt, they immediately threw out the voting data and used the facts to hit Lin Qingxi’s fans in the face.
At the same time, many netizens jumped out to say that they knew why Lin Wanwan could turn defeat into victory.
“After the president praised ‘A Good Night’s Sleep,’ all my grandparents went to watch this movie. They affirmed Lin Wanwan’s acting skills. After hearing about the voting incident, those elders who are above 70 years old actually learned from the young people to use their ID cards to register for an account and voted for Lin Wanwan.”
“Haha, my grandparents as well. They even spread the word that whatever the president liked is the best.”
“Yes, yes, yes. The grandparents in our district have formed a group and voted for Lin Wanwan. I’m overjoyed!”
When Lin Wanwan saw these comments, she could neither cry nor laugh.
Lin Wanwan’s glorious moments made Lin Qingxi seem especially sorry.
If it wasn’t for everyone thinking that Lin Qingxi was bound to win previously and Lin Qingxi displaying the look of a winner, her defeat would have only made netizens sympathize and encourage her. Instead, everyone was mocking her for being highly conceited too early and embarrassing herself now.
This, coupled with her “exciting performance” on the red carpet, became a bigger reason for the public to attack her.
In the face of this situation, Lin Qingxi recorded a short video and posted it on Weibo.
In the video, she looked haggard and pitiful.
She said she had let Lin Xiao down, and as Lin Xiao’s sister, she was unable to achieve glory for her. Thus, she would definitely work harder in the future.
As for the exposure incident on the red carpet, that was just an accident.
Lin Qingxi didn’t quibble. Instead, her attitude of accepting failure with an open mind led netizens to think more positively of her. When they recalled that Lin Xiao was her sister, they became more forgiving.
Except for a few people, most of them stopped throwing ridicule and said a few words of comfort instead.
Lin Wanwan was disgusted by this, and her good mood from winning the award dissipated by half.
Thankfully, Lin Wanwan received a piece of news the next day. The overseas copyright for “A Good Night’s Sleep” had been sold, and the production team had to start their publicity overseas. As the female lead, Lin Wanwan naturally had to free up her schedule for this.
The first stop was Country A.
Lin Wanwan recalled that Country A was the Ruan family’s territory and wanted to travel with Ruan Baoer.
Ruan Baoer didn’t want to return to the Ruan family and was about to decline when she thought of something. “Sister Ball, you’re going overseas to promote this movie. Your manager should be accompanying you, right?”
The drinker’s heart is not in the cup.
“He has something on and won’t be going.”
“Forget it, then.”
Ruan Baoer pouted and chatted with Lin Wanwan for a while. Then, she hung up the call.
Lin Wanwan was packing her luggage when she accidentally found a piece of jade in the drawer. This was the birthday gift that Ruan Baoer had given her.
To take all precautions, she carried the piece of jade around.
Knowing that she was going to Country A, Lu Zhanbei hugged her waist after coming out from the shower. “I’ll go with you.”
Lin Wanwan used her finger to flick his brain. “Aren’t you going to Country M to talk about business tomorrow?”
“I can push that away.”
“Please. I don’t want to be the demonic sorcerer who causes the king trouble.”
