His studio had absorbed nearly a dozen newcomers, but none of them had grown up enough to stand alone.
And the several artists he knew personally, they all rejected his invitation by saying their contract with the company had not expired, and he had to wait.. But he knew clearly that some people were deliberately distancing themselves from him because of Guangxin and Shen Yichong.
He and the other artists in his studio were destined to not get any awards this year.
Chen Jiao took a deep breath and sat in the venue with an usual expression. It was not until half an hour after the award ceremony started that he barely got out of his thoughts. He didnât care much about the series of opening remarks and live performances.
But soon, his eyelids began to jump frantically.
âThe following are the awards for best supporting actor. Actors who are nominated includeâ¦â
Although Chen Jiao didnât have much hope, he still had slight expectations since he came to the scene.
âChen Jiao from âAllureâ. He portrayed a character that left us with a deep impression; Luo Zhengyu from âGreat Xingâan Mountainsâ, who deduced the tenacity and super willpower as a teenagerâ¦â
Chen Jiao squeezed his fist, as he tried to be calm in front of the camera.
âThe final winner isâ¦Congratulations to Luo Zhengyu from âGreat Xingâan Mountainsâ! Your performance is very simple and natural, but it stays in the hearts of our audience and which reminds us about your character over and over again.â
Chen Jiao frowned. Luo Zhengyu was a rookie from Guangxin! He was also once his junior! At that time, the little boy was very shy and afraid to speak when he greeted Chen Jiao. He even taught Luo Zhengyu acting courses when he was still a trainee.
Before Luo Zhengyu went on the stage to accept the award, he embraced the artists around him. Since Chen Jiao was nominated for the same category, their seats were near.
Luo Zhengyu stretched out his hand to him, âBrother Jiao, thank you for your guidance.â
But Chen Jiao was stuck in memories, and he didnât react. Even his expression was very stiff. The image was captured by the camera, and it gave people plenty of space for imagination. All of a sudden, the audience understood the expression.
[Chen Jiao thought this award belonged to him, right?]
[Woo..Look at that expression!]
[Luo Zhengyu belongs to Guangxin, everyone! Haha, this is a slap in the face!]
[Great Xingâan Mountains is also Guangxinâs investment, right? Heheâ¦If Chen Jiao didnât leave, he would have had a chance to win this award with this film. He might even win another leading actor award!]
[Was being defeated by a rookie the scriptâs fault? Leading Actor Chen is out!]
While everyone was mocking him, Chen Jiaoâs fans were feeling angry and wronged. Other than Chen Jiaoâs brainless fans and fans who only liked him for his appearance were still supporting him, the other fans were all silent.
They all knew very well what a failure âAllureâ was. Chen Jiao almost destroyed a classic character. Or in other words, the script itself caused the performance to go in the wrong direction. The fans had no way to defend him.
When âAllureâ was nominated, they didnât even want to vote for it! How can it compete with the others?!
They were so frustrated but they had nowhere to vent! In the end, Chen Jiaoâs fans began to attack and argue with each other on the live broadcast, making fans of other artists and passers-by stunned.
In contrast, YY fans were very organized and disciplined. Ye Yun saw the chaos in the live broadcast room. She immediately went to the YY fan group and made an announcement.
[The Best Female Supporting Award is coming soon, no matter who the award goes to, we must congratulate her. Do not have disputes with other fans or Yaoyaoâs reputation would be ruined by us.]
[Okay, no problem!]
[Roger that!]
[!]
[Rest assured!]
Everyone in the group replied one after another. Even the president of the fan club who hadnât appeared for a long time appeared. This was in order to prevent someone from attacking others in the name of Yaoyaoâs fans.
When everyone was ready, they quietly guarded the screen and waited for the award. Soon, the two senior filmmakers in charge of awarding the awards were on the stage.
âThis time, the competition for the best female supporting role is very fierce, as many talented artists were nominated. Right. There are many beautiful and talented actresses. Let us first take a look at the list of nomineesâ¦
âGu Qianqian from âIn the Great Mountainâ showed gentleness, tolerance, intellect and dedication of a peopleâs teacher to the fullest in his performance; Yu Yaoyao from âItch of the Yearâ showed us the pain and tolerance of being abandoned by her husband, and the bravery as perseverance as a motherâ¦â
All the YY fans obeyed the instructions of the president and the vice president to stay silent. But they were all nervous.
Yu Yaoyao was not there. The camera only showed an empty seat and Qi Hang, the director of âItch of the Yearâ. Qi Hang smiled and nodded towards the camera, seemingly calm and confident.
The big screen on the scene quickly flashed short clips of the five nominees. The scene of Yu Yaoyao smoking in the rain was indeed chosen.
The fans were all thumping with excitement. The performance of this scene was very classic. No matter how they looked at it, they thought it was an award-winning work!
âBest Supporting Female Award, let us congratulateâââ The award-presenter took a breath. âCongratulations, âItch of the Yearâ, Yu Yaoyao!â
