Chapter 591: Confession on the Stage (2)
Rebirth of a Nation's Darling – Prince Charming
Si Huang didnât ask any more questions. He picked up the mineral water on the table beside him and took two sips. Even though she was constantly photographed by the cameras and cameras, her expression was still natural and relaxed. Her every move was elegant.
As more and more people came, the surrounding seats were almost full. The Golden Eagle Television Arts Festival awards ceremony officially began.
Si Huang had experienced this kind of award ceremony countless times in his previous life. He had long since lost the feeling of excitement. However, perhaps his mentality and situation were different, so he still had the leisure to watch the reactions of others during the award ceremony.
When her attitude fell into the eyes of some people, they felt even more uncomfortable.
Why do you look so calm?
Donât you think youâre already certain that you can receive the award?
Even if they were secretly thinking that there was an inside story, they still could not find any fault with Si Huang. That calm and indifferent attitude was definitely not a pretense.
After the warm up from the two supporters, the award nomination was announced. This kind of nomination was a very rare opportunity for both the TV series and the leading actors. It was an affirmation of their success.
Unsurprisingly,â The Imperial Way â was nominated for the most popular TV series. Later on, it was nominated for the best literary TV film and documentary. In the end, Director Liu won the Best Director Award for â The Imperial Way â and went on stage amid applause.
Everyone had expected this. The person who presented the award to Director Liu was a veteran in the television industry. Director Liu was very polite to this old man.
After Director Liu finished his acceptance speech, he walked off the stage amidst the applause and returned to sit beside Phoenix Si. Phoenix Si smiled.â Congratulations.â
Director Liu pursed his lips.â This is nothing. Itâs not the first time Iâve won an award.â
Although he said that, Si Huang could tell from the smile on his face that he was actually happy. It was just that this person was being arrogant for once.
As time passed, the main event started from the directorâs award ceremony to the actors.
âThe winner of the 21st yearâs most popular female lead in China isâ¦â The female host deliberately kept him in suspense.
The male host at the side opened the post in his hand.â Congratulations to Guan Li. The winning role is the female lead of â The Imperial Way,â Shui Lingxin!â
â Pa, pa, pa, pa!â Applause immediately rang out.
Guan Liâs outfit today was actually intentionally biased towards Bai Lingxin. She was wearing a smoky green dress and her beautiful black hair was tied up. She stood up under the applause of the crowd and the camera and walked to the stage to receive the award.
Under such circumstances, even the usually aloof Queen Guan smiled at the camera. This smile was like a melting iceberg, revealing the gentle side of a woman. It was obvious that the audience would be amazed when they saw it.
âThank you, everyone.â Guan Li stood in front of the microphone, holding the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress, which was the most popular female lead among the audience. She said softly to the camera,â I have a lot of people to thank tonight. First of all, I want to thank Liu Shu. Director Liu! You chose me and let me seize this opportunity.
I want to thank the people who worked hard for this film. I want to thank my manager and myâ¦â
Guan Liâs tone was not intense. It could even be said to be calm. However, her fingers that were holding the Golden Eagle Award tightened, and her eyes were brighter than ever. After thanking everyone, her gaze finally landed on a certain spot in the audience.
Everyone followed her gaze and the camera also followed her gaze. Then, Si Huangâs figure appeared in the camera, leaving a graceful smile for the camera.
This smile was also given to Guan Li on the stage. It gave her encouragement, intimacy, respect, and gentleness.
Guan Li also smiled. She lowered her eyes and said in a moist voice,â A lot of things have happened in this year. I once had the urge to leave this circle. Yes.â I chose to retreat. Iâm not as strong as you guys or myself think. âI want to thank someone in particular. Thank you for giving me the strength to persevere and making me stronger. I want to regain my original heart that I almost abandoned. I love my career and acting. Iâm an actor and Iâll become an even better actor. Iâll work hard to continue standing on this stage for myself, for him, and for all the people Iâm grateful to.â
Guan Li finished her speech and was about to leave when the female host suddenly smiled and asked,âI wonder who the person Guan Li was talking about at the end was?â Can you tell us his name?â
Everyone had a tacit understanding, but the female host deliberately asked.
Guan Li stopped in her tracks.
The scene became a little strange and quiet.
Everyone understood that if Guan Li said Phoenix Siâs name now, it would be equivalent to a disguised confession. Phoenix Si would definitely have to respond.
At a place like this, when Guan Li won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress, as the boss of Guan Liâs current company, Si Huang should not embarrass the top actress under his company. Therefore, the chances of getting an affirmative answer from her were very high.
âWhatâs wrong? Is our Guan Li shy?â The female emcee spoke again, raising the atmosphere.
The quiet audience started to laugh and discuss, and there were even faint sounds of laughter.
Si Huang also felt the gazes coming from all directions. Even if the camera was focused on her and did not give her any chance to dodge, she did not intend to dodge. Her faint smile did not change at all.
â..âGuan Li opened her mouth.
Her gaze met with Si Huangâs once again.
â.. Sihuang.â
