“I am rather ashamed to say that I have already debuted for more than five years but this is the first time that I am standing on this stage. It’s no wonder why the technical crew would make this kind of mistake, but it’s okay because I will make sure that all of you will get to know me again!”
As soon as Jiang Yuning finished her sentence, the guests sitting in the audience were all secretly applauding for Jiang Yuning in their hearts. This was especially so for Yao Fan, who was extremely proud of her little disciple.
What was an impending crisis?
How should you deal with one in a positive manner?
This was the right way to do it.
Moreover, everyone present there could feel how ambitious she was just from her words alone. However, no one could deny that this blacklisted and defamed artiste had really gone through a major transformation in just ten months. Jiang Yuning has also proved herself by showing her own talents and abilities without relying on anyone at all. Furthermore, Jiang Yuning had carved out a unique career path for herself that no one could imitate at all. It seemed as though Jiang Yuning was going to have a bright future ahead of her.
If another newcomer had said all these as soon as they stepped on stage, everyone would have regarded the newcomer as an arrogant person. However, no one could explain why the sentence seemed as though it carried some sort of supernatural powers when it came out of Jiang Yuning’s mouth.
“Today is a really wonderful day for many of us in the entertainment industry. Today, I would like to say that I was really very fortunate to have been able to participate in Director Shen Guobang’s drama, <Mysteries of Heaven>. Although the trophy that I am holding in my hand has not been obtained based on my performance or acting skills, I am still extremely glad to be here because of the support and love that I have received from all of my fans. Therefore, I think that the best gift and the best way that I can thank everyone is to try my best to win a better award next year. I promise to continue working hard, so please continue to have faith in me. Thank you.”
This were the words that a twenty-year-old girl said during her speech.
Jiang Yuning obviously had a very clear positioning for herself and she would not allow her own shortcomings to stop her from achieving greater things.
As a professional actress, Jiang Yuning is very firm and she had a very professional attitude.
The Jiang Yuning tonight was very serious as she focused on her goal.
Although Jiang Yuning received the least significant award, she expressed her gratitude and gave her speech in such a powerful manner that she seemed to have left a huge impact on the audience. Even though her enemies had tried to trample on her time and again, it seemed as though Jiang Yuning would never lose because she had the fighting spirit within her.
The guests who wanted to watch a good show were shocked at the way Jiang Yuning handled the situation.
Jiang Yuning was definitely someone that they should not ignore!
The fans who were watching the live broadcast really felt like screaming out loud.
[Our Sister Yuning is really the best!]
[Oh my gosh. Her reaction and the way she handled the situation is simply amazing. I give her a hundred points!]
[The haters can take a good look now. Even if you want to ridicule our Sister Yuning, you will have to wait and see whether Empress Jiang will give you a chance to ridicule her or not!]
[Ahh! Sister Yuning is just too cool. I will have to go home and watch the replay again!]
[The technical crew must be feeling very awkward and embarrassed at first but I believe that after listening to Jiang Yuning’s speech, the technical crew will feel as though they can breathe again.]
[Although Jiang Yuning is still considered a newcomer, every time I see her reacting to any situation on the spot, it seems as though she has previously handled such a situation before.]
[I really want to give Jiang Yuning all my love and support!]
[I don’t know why but I feel that Jiang Yuning’s speech and personality is really similar to that of a highly educated person even though everyone is always making fun of Jiang Yuning for having only completed high school.]
After receiving the award and giving her speech on stage, Jiang Yuning walked down the stage before she returned to Yao Fan and Song Chenxing. Jiang Yuning was initially a cute and gentle little fairy before going on stage, but it seemed as though she suddenly had a very powerful presence as soon as she got off the stage.
“Little disciple, you did great!”
At this time, Jiang Yuning could not help but flash a thumbs up gesture at Yao Fan.
“You are already so arrogant just because I praised you a little?”
Well, that was the way it was. The more others tried to ridicule Jiang Yuning, the more victorious Jiang Yuning would be. If anyone tried to make her unhappy, then Jiang Yuning would make sure that no one was happy at all.
Of course, this was just a small episode at the awards ceremony that night. Moreover, it had always been Jiang Yuning’s personality to regard all contempt and disrespect from others as an opportunity for her to showcase her own skills and talents.
…
On the other side of the stage, Hua Anxia, who was seated next to Lin Kaiyan, sneered as soon as Jiang Yuning got down from the stage. After that, she looked at Lin Kaiyan before she commented, “So, is that the girl who has been upsetting you a lot recently? It seems as though she is pretty witty. She handled the situation very well and she also gave a pretty good response on the spot.”
Lin Kaiyan turned his head and looked at Hua Anxia without replying. However, he was smirking at this time.
“I think that the technical crew and the organising committee are really too much. How can they make things so difficult for a young girl under this kind of circumstances?”
Hua Anxia turned her gaze back to the stage with an indifferent smile on her face. No matter what it was, Jiang Yuning was not from the same world as Lin Kaiyan and herself.
In Lin Kaiyan’s opinion, Jiang Yuning’s existence meant nothing to him at all.
In fact, Lin Kaiyan felt that there was also a possibility that Jiang Yuning had intentionally arranged for the technical crew to write her name wrongly just so that she could gain some sympathy from the audience and the public.
Hua Anxia only felt that it was really interesting because she did not know why Lin Kaiyan hated Jiang Yuning so much.
Very soon, the awards ceremony was about to reach its climax and the most exciting part of the entire day, as it was almost time for them to announce the winners of the best actor and the best actress awards.
In fact, most of the guests present tonight already had some assumption in their heart as to who the winner of the best actor award would be. After all, Lin Kaiyan had already done a lot of things behind the scenes in an effort to stabilize and maintain his status as the film emperor and winner of the best actor award.
However, was Lin Kaiyan really worthy of the title compared to his opponent, Song Chenxing, who was an all-rounded actor who could act in dramas and also movies? Was Lin Kaiyan worthy enough to be his competitor?
“Let’s welcome our guest of honour to come up on stage to give out the two most important awards for the night!”
As soon as the host made the announcement, the guest of honour walked up the stage to hand out the award to the winners of the biggest awards of the night.
The first award was none other than the best actor award.
The names of the four candidates who were nominated for the award and the roles that they played in their dramas were subsequently displayed on the big screen.
At this time, there were also spotlight shining on the four candidates who had been nominated for the award as they sat amongst the audience.
Among the four of them, Lin Kaiyan had the most confident expression on his face whereas Song Chenxing was still very calm and composed.
“The winner of the best top actor award for the 38th Golden Shadow Awards ceremony is Song Chenxing!”
As soon as the host announced the name of the winner, everyone turned around to look at Song Chenxing in disbelief.
What?
Song Chenxing?
At this time, even Song Chenxing himself was shocked and speechless.
Jiang Yuning quickly nudged Song Chenxing and reminded him, “Teacher, what are you doing? Hurry up and go on stage to receive your award! Why are you still sitting here?”
Song Chenxing froze for a moment and he looked at Yao Fan for a brief second before he stood up in a calm manner and walked up on stage to receive the award.
At this time, Lin Kaiyan was still in shock and utter disbelief.
How could this be?
This was completely impossible!
Why didn’t he win the award?
He clearly…
“Let’s welcome Song Chenxing up on stage. First of all, I would like to congratulate you on winning the best actor award and also the title of the film emperor once again, Chenxing.”
After that, the host announced the winner of the best actress award and the guest of honour also gave the award to the winner. This time, however, the winner of the award was not Yao Fan but Hua Anxia instead.
Lin Kaiyan felt even more embarrassed and annoyed at the situation when the person seated right next to him got up on stage to receive the award.
“Alright then, let’s give Chenxing the opportunity to give his speech first.”
Song Chenxing was already used to this kind of situations and therefore, he was very relaxed when he was on stage.
The only thing that he was worried about was how Yao Fan would feel as she did not win any awards tonight.
However, he was relieved when he saw that Yao Fan seemed to be very happy.
