Chapter 398 - Best Actress (2)

She was dressed to the nines today and was still as beautiful as ever. Her manners were decent and elegant, as if she was not affected by the movie’s box office failure at all.

She stared at the screen and clenched her fingers in secret.

“Don’t, don’t let it be Gu Manxi.” Cao Yuezhi prayed secretly.

Anyone could be the winner of this year’s best actress, but it could not be Gu Manxi!

Otherwise, where would Cao Yuezhi put her face?

However, the heavens did not seem to hear Cao Yuezhi’s prayer. Under the lights, the presenter slowly opened the envelope with the name of the winner, he smiled and said, “Let us congratulate Miss Gu Manxi, the actress who played the role of the Spring Breeze in the movie ‘The Return of Spring Breeze’. She contributed her superb acting skills in the anti-japanese war-themed movie, creating an amazing and perfect character. The jury group gave unanimous praise.”

clap clap clap —

Thunderous applause rang out in the studio.

Everyone in the audience, including Cao Yuezhi, had seen the movie ‘The Return of Spring Breeze’.

It was not an exaggeration to say that every audience member who had watched the movie would remember the female lead, Spring Breeze. Her beautiful face, her changeable and forbearing personality, her unyielding soul, and her heaven-defying acting skills on countless occasions had deeply shocked the audience.

Her acting skills were too exquisite.

The quality of the films in recent years had dropped rapidly. They were always reciting about love and youth. The audience had long become sick of it and their eyes were damaged by the immature acting skills of the young idols.

Gu Manxi’s appearance was like a gentle spring breeze, bringing everyone a brand new experience — so it turned out that there were really good films?

Cao Yuezhi secretly gritted her teeth, trying her best to maintain her high and mighty demeanor.

Best Actress... Gu Manxi became the new Best Actress just by relying on one movie!

She easily achieved what Cao Yuezhi had worked hard for many years.

“Why... why is she so lucky?” Cao Yuezhi screamed in her heart.

Lu Shanhe, Song Chen, and Jiang Cheng all surrounded Gu Manxi like treasures, giving her the best resources.

As for Cao Yuezhi, if she wanted to climb better, she had to pay a double price, both physically and mentally! If she was not famous, she would die. If she was famous, she would live a life worse than death, and she had to pretend to be beautiful.

She was not convinced!

Looking at Gu Manxi, who was shining brilliantly on the stage, Cao Yuezhi instantly went crazy from jealousy.

...

The Capital Film Festival ended with lively applause. The biggest winner of this film festival was the cast and crew of “The Return of Spring Breeze”, which won five awards including Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Feature Film, and several nominations.

The list of winners was posted on the Internet at the same time, causing a heated discussion.

“This year’s awards actually made sense.”

“Hell yeah! I’ve already gone to the cinema to watch it five times, and I can find something new every time!”

“Haha, didn’t the fans of Cao say that they were going to get the Best Actress this year? She wasn’t even nominated.”

“I was wrong. I used to look down on Gu Manxi! She’s so strong and her acting skills are super good!”

Of course, amidst the praises, there were also some sour comments.

“So what if she’s the best actress? Isn’t she still filming an unrated online drama? What kind of taste is that?”

“The Capital Film Festival is only a small domestic award. If you have the ability, go and win a big award from abroad.”

“Isn’t the Clear Sky Award about to start? Can somebody like her win the best actress for that award? Hehe, I don’t think so.”
