After taking another sip from the tequila, Ryan patiently waited for the director and his deputy to announce the winner of the award.
"And the winner for this year's best personnel award goes to..." the director began announcing and stopped suddenly, his calm expression slowly turning to a seemingly random one. The whole audience wondered why he suddenly stopped as they were all eager to hear who the winner is going to be.
"Can we go for a short commercial break?" the director jokingly let out in a mocking tone to relax the tension going on among the audience. The audience received the joke with a round of laughter and the atmosphere changed to a relaxing one.
But Ryan was bothered about the turn of events. 'What's going on?' he thought. Something felt wrong somewhere.
"Now, the winner of the best personnel award for the year 2021 is..." the director started, and with the deputy director, the name of the winner was announced, "BETHANY COLE!"
What? Bethany Cole? The whole crowd gasped at the mention of the winner's name. There weren't expecting such to happen. It was supposed to go to either Ryan Stones or Brent Williams, so what happened? Slowly, they began applauding as they noticed the woman, who seemed shocked as them, walking up to the podium.
Bethany Cole was the head of the Live Reporting team and the only female head in the company. She has been an employee in the company for almost ten years or more and she wasn't really considered a top shot in the company. Her making it to the head of department was due to her prolific reporting, dedication to work and years of service. But by winning the award which was majorly meant for those who had done something extraordinary in the year was really a surprising no-bad-blood thing and this completely made them stunned... but not as stunned as when Ryan won it.
The woman, in her late thirties, who was dressed in a long yellow flair gown that had flowery patterns on it, walked up the podium with a purse held in her hand. By looking at her face, the worry showing on it was obvious. She had been caught off guard and didn't know how to react to it. She had to manage herself to walk from where she was standing in the crowd to the podium after being slightly tugged by her colleagues.
"Mrs Cole, congratulations!" the director said to her and stretched out his hands towards her for an handshake.
The woman, still obviously shocked, received the handshake and muttered a "Thank you." Afterwards, the deputy director congratulated her as well.
The award was finally handed over to her and immediately, the audience applauded her again. The woman had eventually managed to wear a smile as she felt a wave of confidence flash through her. She was handed a microphone and she gave out a speech regarding the award she just received which got another round of applause at the end of it.
Amongst the whole audience, the only person who seemed unfazed about the turn out of the award was Ryan. He maintained his calm expression throughout as he had expected it to be that way. How? Just the unexpected happening again... The mental video prediction.
But him being calm about the situation could not be said about Brent when he turned his face to Brent's direction. Brent was glaring at the podium's direction with a look of defeat on his face. By watching Brent flare up, he gulped down the remaining contents of the tequila into his mouth and smiled after. Then he turned his attention back to the podium.
The reason why he was bothered at the time the director paused for awhile before announcing the winner was because he didn't see that part in the mental video. Of course, the video had shown Bethany winning the award but it didn't show the director stopping for a while and then cracking a joke to cheer up the audience. This actually made him bothered for some time as he thought there was a sort of manipulation going on. Or was there something wrong with the contents of video?, he contemplated.
There couldn't actually be something wrong with the contents. And it wasn't possible either for him to effect a change in the contents as it basically didn't involve him bring the person the prediction was centered around. Then what actually was the problem?
He watched as the CEOs and the members of the management board went up the podium to congratulate the latest winner of the award. Then suddenly, a big chart was brought up the podium for all to see.
On the chart, there were names and numbers written on it. Then the deputy director began speaking, blocking the contents of the chart, "On this chart here, we have the gathered data of the names of the nominees of the award and the votes they got. This year there was a change in the choosing of the winner process and it involved the heads of department. And since this is the first time a voting process would take place for the award, we put out five list of nominees for the award which was made confidential among the heads of department and the management. To prevent rumors actually,"
Then he made way for all to see the contents of the chart, "Out first nominee here, who turned out to be the winner of the award, Mrs Bethany Cole came out with a total of ten votes." he announced and the clapping of hands filled the air.
"The second here is Mr Ryan Stones, our previous winner, with a total of seven votes. Then the third, Miss Megan Lynn, with five votes..."
As soon as Megan heard that she came third, she turned to Ryan with a look of surprise on her face, "You knew about it?" she asked him with mouth agape. Ryan simply nodded as a reply. How on earth wasn't she told about it then?, she thought. Her nomination meant she had risen in feat among the employees in the company.
The other two nominees were mentioned, with Brent coming fourth with four votes and the last, a certain Leonard Flock of the Media Publicity department with two votes.
"Why didn't you tell me about it?" Megan sounded slightly annoyed as she questioned Ryan.
Ryan shook his head, "Like the deputy director said earlier, it was made confidential," he stated.
"At least you could have said something," she rolled her eyes.
"Common Meg... I wasn't informed as well. And you're not even his best friend remember?" Matthew tried covering up for Ryan, but he put it the wrong way and this made Ryan sigh.
"Shut up! It's Megan!" she reminded Matthew.
"Megan? Sounds like 'My-gun'." Mathew replied with a snort.
"Jerk!" Megan sneered at him.
"Guys... not today please," Ryan pleaded with them.
When Ryan was feeling that the award was in his favor, which was actually not in his, he knew what he was feeling... when the prediction occurred. As he wasn't expecting to win the award which he eventually didn't win, he wasn't going to allow Brent have a taste of it as well. It actually came out in his favor since the only person he didn't want to win didn't get to win.
"YOU!" He heard a confronting voice behind him and he turned to face who it was.
"You... what did you do?" Brent, the actual person he was waiting for, came at him with a question.
"What does it seem like I did?" he asked Brent, with a smirk curled up on his face.
"I don't know what you did but I'm going to find out," Brent pointed an accusatory finger at him.
"Brent," he sighed as he began, "Behave like a gentleman will you? Eyes are peering at your unthinking attitude," Indeed eyes were peering at Brent as he started lashing out at his uncalled for rival, causing slight a scenario.
"You're not getting away with this..." Brent blurted out as he turned to leave the scene.
"Even if it costs you your job," Ryan gave a warning-like statement as Brent started walking away from the scene. Brent had to stop when he heard that and he turned back to face Ryan. He casted a cold glare at Ryan and without saying anything, he left the scene immediately.
"What the hell was that?" Matthew inquired from Ryan after everything had died down.
Ryan scoffed, "That? That was just a burden which I can conveniently handle."
"Since when did you and Brent start throwing jabs at each other?" Megan curiously asked.
Ryan smiled. And without replying, he headed to where the cocktails were located to get another cup of liquor.

As night fell, the ceremony of the Lugano Film Festival started.
The hosts were two famous hosts from Switzerland. The male host was humorous and handsome, and the female host was beautiful and witty. The two of them looked very beautiful together, as they walked onto the stage.
The filmmakers below the stage clapped enthusiastically.
At the beginning of the ceremony, the host introduced the 18 nominated movies and some specially invited movie critics.
After a short round of jokes, the host introduced two filmmakers to the stage, as the guest presenters.
Most of the prizes that were revealed at the beginning were not very well received, and the biggest award was usually kept until the end.
The first prize winner to be revealed was a German film.
The director of the movie went on stage to receive the award and gave a brief acceptance speech.
The second prize was the movie The Christian Human Spirit, an American film about faith and belief.
The third award was jointly accepted by two movies, one Spanish and one French.
After the two directors went onto the stage, they congratulated each other in good humour after winning the award. The two of them talked as if they were doing a talk show and each of them gave their own individual acceptance speech.
The fourth prize was the audience selection award. It was a light comedy film from the United States, it had performed well in the European and American box office this year.
After the award was given, it was time for the Best Newcomer Award.
The award was given to some young directors, who directed a movie for the first time, as a form of encouragement.
Hearing the host announcing the award, Ling Yan subconsciously glanced at Gu Weiwei.
With her qualifications, she should have won this award.
The award was announced by a senior filmmaker on the stage. The filmmaker, Bach, had curly golden hair and a full beard. He spoke fluent English and praised the winner.
"I think that this winner must be God's favorite. She is very pretty, talented and cute. I wanted to give her all of the trophies today."
"Actually, if she had not been so young, I would have given her the Best Director Award. But after I selected her, some people lost the award, so we had to give her the Best Newcomer Award."
After a long speech, Bach smiled mysteriously and opened the card with the winner's name.
"It seems that everyone is tired of listening to me. Then let's invite our lovely winner up onto the stage to receive her award."
"Let's welcome our lovely Weiwei."
Gu Weiwei stood up amidst the applause and walked towards the stage with a smile.
After she went on stage, she gave Bach a polite hug.
"Thank you for the compliment."
Bach gave her the trophy and said to the audience, "Sleepless is an excellent movie and Miss. Mu Weiwei is an excellent and dedicated filmmaker."
"There is a saying in Hua Land that says 'the new generation surpasses the old'. So I tell you now, if you don't work hard, you will be overtaken by her."
The audience burst into laughter.
Bach was an internationally-renowned filmmaker. After he stopped directing movies, he often became the judge at the International Film Festival.
Although he was humorous, he had always been strict when judging the films.
It was Dream of a Long Life, starring Ling Yan, that he had praised so highly a few years ago.



Gu Weiwei, the adopted daughter of the most wealthy and powerful Gu Family in A Land, is seriously injured during an attack. Her best friend, Ling Yan, who has been suffering from a heart disease, takes this opportunity to kill Gu Weiwei and snatches her heart for her own transplant surgery.
 Unexpectedly, however, Gu Weiwei is reborn and became Mu Weiwei, the adopted daughter of the most wealthy and powerful Fu Family in Hua Land and somehow ends up having a one-night-stand with the heir Fu Hanzheng. 
From that night on, strange things start to happen. Firstly, Fu Hanzheng, who has no interest in any women, especially not in the noisy young Mu Weiwei, suddenly falls for Mu Weiwei—who now has Gu Weiwei’s soul inside. 
Gu Weiwei decides to take this second chance of life as a precious opportunity to take revenge for both Mu Weiwei and for herself. 
Subsequently, Gu Weiwei uses her own talents and skills and becomes the most popular and beloved movie star in the entire world using Mu Weiwei’s body and successfully crushes all her enemies. 
Meanwhile, she gradually develops a lovely relationship with Fu Hanzheng, who is deeply devoted to her and only her.

Actually, in Jiang Wen's opinion, Qin Guan's role in the film was only a supporting one. However, there was no Best Supporting Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival, so the judges had reached the conclusion that Qin Guan would be considered the main character of the film.
When the final moment came, even Qin Guan listened to the host's words nervously. If an actor had two films selected for the final round, but still missed the opportunity to win, it would be a big embarrassment for them.
People were looking at Qin Guan enviously. They believed that he had to be the winner. Otherwise, the host would not have clarified that. Brad Pitt, who was sitting nearby, looked offended.
His career was flying and he had married Angelina Jolie and gotten rid of his ex-wife's influence. Thanks to his rising value, the American actor had become one of the best actors in Hollywood.
His film "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" was on the final list of nominees. It was an outstanding film way out of Qin Guan's league that told a story about cowboys. If Qin Guan had been cast, he would only have been able to play a Chinese labor worker.
Pitt still held a grudge because of his fight with Qin Guan in the lounge. Although he was a brave, unrestrained man, he always felt uneasy around the Chinese man.
Actually, everyone had misunderstood the host's words. The first person to find out the winner's name would be the special guest that would open the envelope.
The special guest announced the winner calmly.
"The winner of the Best Actor Award is Qin Guan with his film 'Lust, Caution'. Thanks to his fine depiction of the character and unique acting style, he has presented us with an outstanding historical Asian film! Let's applaud for our winner, Qin Guan."
The audience did as it was told.
Qin Guan stood up and walked to the stage. In the short distance that he had to cross, people stood up to greet him as he passed, showing their respect for the award winner.
Qin Guan took the statue of the lion with the spread wings and bowed.
"I would like to thank the judges. I finally achieved a grand slam. Of course, this is not my award for not being single anymore."
Everyone who was in the know smiled and nodded. Yes, the young man had already achieved his goal.
The award had come just in time to be a gift for his wedding ceremony.
"Now, I have a new dream. I will keep working until I achieve another grand slam. My new goal is to win awards at the five biggest international film festivals..."
Qin Guan finished his speech quickly and surrendered the floor to the host. Then, the crucial moment came. Ang Lee and Jiang Wen parted immediately, straightened their clothes and sat up properly.
"The winner of the Golden Lion is 'Lust, Caution'!"
Qin Guan, who was sitting between the two men, felt ice on his left and flames on his right. Both directors remained calm, but Qin Guan could feel the difference in temperature between them.
This was already Ang Lee's second Golden Lion. No director could be more grateful. Each award was a milestone in his career that indicated his value and professionalism. 
What made a director famous? Awards, of course!
That was why Chinese directors went for unpopular indie films. To win awards! Even if one won just one international award, they wouldn't need to accumulate any experience in the circle anymore. They would become famous overnight.


Qin Guan was reborn and sent back to his final semester in High School 18 years ago. Getting a second chance at life, he works hard to turn things around and eventually become a Prince Charming. What will his life be like the second time around? What will he have to go through? How will he succeed in turning from a loser into a Prince Charming? Read this story carefully and find out!

Two days later.
Shanghai.
The annual Music Awards Ceremony was held.
The stars gathered and the awards were given out one after another.
"The nominees for the Best Lyrics Award are: Chen Guang, 'A Small World'; Zhang Ye, 'Exaggerated'; Zhang Ye, 'I Really Love You'; Zhao Yunji, 'Blossom of a Dream'; Sun Tiandong, 'White Birch.' And now for the announcement of the winner for this year's Best Lyrics Award—the winner is…Zhang Ye! 'Exaggerated!'"
Applause rang out!
Everyone gave their congratulations.
"Congratulations!"
"Haha, congratulations, Director Zhang!"
"This is a good start!"
"There was no doubt that Teacher Zhang would win this award!"
"Yeah, he has written so many good songs this year."
"Yeah, if we really base it on the quality of the lyrics, it wouldn't be too much even if Zhang Ye had ten of his songs shortlisted for the Best Lyrics Award."
"For this award, Old Chen is still not a match for him."
"Zhang Ye has total dominance here."
"It's time for the song composition award."
"Let's see who wins the Best Composition Award."
Moving on.
The next award was announced.
"The nominees for the Best Composition Award are: Zhang Ye, 'I Am What I Am'; Shu Han, 'A Little Dance Tune'; Zhang Ye, 'Because of Love'; Xu Qi, 'Boundless Spring.' Now to announce the winner of this year's Best Composition Award. And the winner is…Teacher Zhang Ye! 'Because of Love!'"
There was applause!
"Wow!"
"Another one!"
"Impressive, Teacher Zhang!"
"Director Zhang, you owe us three meals now!"
"You've won both the annual lyrics and song composition awards! Only two people have achieved this in the history of the music awards!"
"Yeah, only two people have won it simultaneously!"
"Don't worry, there's still the Song of the Year Award up for grabs."
"Yeah, Zhang Ye might just become the first person in history to win all three of those awards!"
Finally, it was time to announce the Song of the Year Award.
"And the award for Song of the Year goes to—"
"Which is the first song that comes to everyone's minds?"
"Which song will it be?"
"I hereby announce that the award for Song of the Year goes to—'The King of Karaoke!'"
Applause rang out through the venue!
A lot of people even gave a standing ovation and cheered Zhang Ye!
"This song is truly good!"
"He's gotten the trifecta!"
"It's the first time that this has happened!"
"Three of the most important awards have been presented to Zhang Ye!"
"It's a pity that he did not win the Best Arrangement Award as well."
"Other than the Best Newcomer, the Best Arrangement, the Best Band, the Best Group, and some of the other awards, Zhang Ye has gotten all that he could get!"
"Zhang Ye is definitely the biggest winner tonight!"
…
The next day.
Nanjing.
The Film Awards Ceremony was held.
The Best Actor, the Best Actress, the Best Director, the Best Screenwriter, the Best Adaptation, and other film awards were given out.
All of these awards naturally had nothing to do with Zhang Ye.
…
And the day after that.
At night.
The annual Best Director Award was given out.
This was a directing awards ceremony that was independent of the film industry awards.
"The annual award for Best Variety Director goes to—Zhang Ye!"
"The annual award for Best Film Director goes to—Li Ke!"
"The annual award for Best Director goes to—Zhang! Ye!"
This announcement for the final award shocked many industry insiders!
"What?"
"The Best Director Award was given to Zhang Ye?"
"Ah?"
"That is way too surprising!"
"The darkest dark horse has won!"
"This is a top award that covers all of the other Director Awards. It's usually given out to a film director since the artistic qualities of a film definitely surpass those of the variety and TV industries. It's always been the case every year, so why was it given out to a variety director this time? This is unprecedented!"
"It wasn't given out to a variety director."
"Then what is it for?"
"The highest honor in directing was given out to the gala director!"
"You mean the Spring Festival Gala?"
"So that's how it is!"
"You've enlightened me!"
"It makes sense if that's the case! So it was presented to the executive director of the Spring Festival Gala!"
"With the heights that this year's Spring Festival Gala has reached, the presentation of this award is indeed faultless!"
…
On the same night.
At another awards ceremony that was held at the same time.
"The award for Best Dance goes to—"
"There's absolutely no suspense to who's winning this prize."
"And the winner is—'Thousand-Hand Guanyin!'"
The "Thousand-Hand Guanyin" was awarded the highest prize in the dance category!
As the choreographer and planner of this dance, Zhang Ye went up on stage to accept the award with Qi Xiaomei and a representative of the deaf-mute dance troupe.
…
Another day later.
At the venue of an awards ceremony.
"Next, we will be announcing the Outstanding Artist of the Year Award."
"And the winner is—Zhang Ye!"
…
One.
Five.
Ten.
Over several days, many awards were given out.
In this time, Zhang Ye collected so many awards that his hands went soft.
Of the many awards given out, only a few of them counted as the highest awards and would count towards the popularity score in the celebrity rankings. Most of the other awards did not contribute any points to a celebrity's popularity, like the Most Outstanding Artist of the Year, which may sound quite important, but was in fact just a prize that was given out by some local organizations rather than being some national award. Then, there were the awards like the online Most Talked About Person Award or the Most Popular Weibo Figure Award, which Zhang Ye also won, and could still be considered honorable prizes. This clearly showed the affirmation from the organizations and the people of Zhang Ye, so it didn't really matter whether it would contribute to the popularity scores or not.
All kinds of random accolades.
All kinds of mainstream prizes.
All kinds of the highest awards.
Zhang Ye had won a total of twelve of them and was ranked third among all of the celebrities to receive an award!
…
The netizens were very surprised:
"Zhang Ye is on a crazy streak!"
"Why is he winning so many awards!"
"With him winning all of those awards, can he even fit everything in his house? Hahaha!"
"Last year was a harvest for Zhang Ye, ascending to the S-list and winning all kinds of awards. There isn't anyone else who's had it more glorious than him."
"Yeah, even though Sister Zhang has garnered more prizes than Zhang Ye, most of her awards are related to the film industry. Zhang Ye wasn't even involved in any films or TV series, but if he really acted in them and didn't do too badly, he would likely get more awards than Sister Zhang."
"That ex-Heavenly King can't catch up anymore!"
"Yeah, their popularity scores have pulled apart from each other!"
"Zhang Ye has finally stabilized his position in the domestic S-list rankings!"
"It's the new year now. What do you guys think Zhang Ye will do?"
"Who knows?"
"He's already near the top in the domestic market, right?"
"Could Zhang Ye be gunning for a place in Asia next?"
"That sounds likely!"
…
On this day.
The final awards ceremony concluded.
At night, Zhang Ye drove home. The moment he opened the door to the villa, he jumped at the sight before him. The interior of the large house had been decorated and brightly lit!
Pop!
Pop!
Confetti streamed down!
A big crowd of people were applauding and screaming!
"Director Zhang!"
"Congratulations!"
"We're here to celebrate for you!"
"Let's enjoy this together!"
"Hahaha!"
"We were fantastic last year!"
Wu Zeqing stood on the side with a smile and watched everyone as they enjoyed themselves. Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, Little Wang, Tong Fu, and the other employees from the studio had all come over. All of them looked really happy.
Zhang Ye also smiled. "What's with all of this?"
Ha Qiqi said, "We're here to throw you a party, of course."
Zhang Ye said happily, "Well, thank you."
"There's also a cake." Little Wang hummed a tune as she pushed the cake over. "Director Zhang, please cut it."
Zhang Ye looked at Old Wu. "Did you arrange this?"
Wu Zeqing smiled. "It has nothing to do with me. It was them who arranged this for you."
Zhang Zuo laughed and said, "You've reached the summit of the entertainment circle, yet we still haven't officially thrown a party for you. Now you've won so many awards, of which five are even the highest awards! This has helped our popularity score pull away by a large distance and there isn't a need to worry about being caught up to. We can finally celebrate in peace now."
"Let's have some cake."
"Here comes the wine."
"Come, cheers!"
"Everyone, cheers!"
It was extremely lively inside the house and everyone was very excited.
Becoming a Heavenly King!
Winning countless awards!
These were the results and harvests of Zhang Ye's past year!
Ha Qiqi, who had had a few sips of red wine, was already starting to ramble quite a bit. "Director Zhang, we've already achieved the goals that were set last year, and even completed them beyond expectations. Now that the 'Reach the Summit' plan has been realized and we're into the new year, why don't you set a new target for us? What shall we do this year? Which direction should we head in? We're at your disposal!"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "This year? It's probably time to make a push in Asia?"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"Asia?"
"Alright!"
"We should have aimed for the Asian region long ago!"
"Compared to the popularity we've domestically, we're still quite far behind on the Asian stage."
"Yeah, we might also be on the A-list in Asia, but our ranking is very far at the bottom. Moreover, once we head out of our own country, we're actually not that well-known to others. We're actually just somewhat on par with the other Asian B-listers because a large part of the popularity score is influenced by our ranking domestically. Since our popularity score in the country is rather high, it was this that pushed us up forcefully on the Asian rankings."
"Right, there's potential for development in Asia!"
"Yes, there's a lot of potential actually."
"Alright then, it's settled!"
"We'll listen to Director Zhang for orders."
Everyone got very excited and was full of confidence like never before.
Ha Qiqi said, "What a coincidence then, Director Zhang. We've just received an invitation at the studio that we haven't had time to tell you about. An event is about to take place in Asia, and since you haven't traveled out of the country before, why don't we take this opportunity to make an appearance in Asia? We can increase our visibility, and maybe scout out some opportunities along the way?"
Zhang Ye agreed, "That sounds great."
Ha Qiqi nodded. "Alright, I'll reply to them then."
"Come! Let's make another toast!"
"Our target is the Asian S-list!"
"Alright, the target is to become an Asian Heavenly King!"
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
And just like this, the goal for this year was set!

"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.


“I can’t do it anymore. Stop it…I can’t take it anymore!” The second young master stopped in his tracks and raised his brows as he stared at Miss Jiang. “All you had to do was jog, so—”
…
Everyone knew that Miss Jiang was an artiste who had been defamed and blacklisted before she became famous again. When she got into trouble, she did not give up but fought persistently. Everyone knew that the second young master was the mysterious head of the enterprise. He was an extremely cold person with an exquisite taste. Moreover, the second young master had recently adopted a new hobby. He took in his younger brother’s ex-fiancée and he was extremely fond of her…
