Chapter 698: The Legendary Movie Queen (8)
Mu Weiwei?!
Ling Yan’s hand that was holding the trophy shook and she almost dropped it.
She looked at Bach in astonishment, wondering if she had heard him wrongly.
Similarly, many filmmakers were also in disbelief. Didn’t Bach greatly praise Ling Yan, just so he could give her the award?
James and Ke Wei could not believe their ears, when Bach announced that it was Mu Weiwei who had won the award.
She had already won the Best Newcomer Award, so why did she gain the Best Actress Award?
Seeing the confusion of Ling Yan and the audience, Bach seriously repeated his words.
“Miss. Mu Weiwei is the Director of Sleepless, and she is also the lead actress.”
Having said these words, he teased Mu Weiwei, when he saw that she was not on the stage yet.
“Weiwei, the trophy is quite heavy, Movie Queen Ling must be tired of holding it for you.”
After Bach repeated her name, Gu Weiwei put down her phone and elegantly stood up.
Under everyone’s disbelieving eyes, she walked towards Ling Yan, who was holding the trophy.
Under the lights, the pure white gown was dazzling and a warm smile was on her exquisite face.
She did not lose her composure, nor was she overjoyed. Instead, she looked confident and elegant, as if she were a n.o.ble, who had come to claim her scepter.
She approached Ling Yan and smiled.
“Thank you, Movie Queen Ling.”
Ling Yan’s smile disappeared bit by bit. Although she tried her best to maintain her posture, she could not make herself smile in such a situation.
She could not even pretend to smile.
Was she really going to have to present the trophy to Mu Weiwei?
For her, it was the greatest humiliation and also a terrible irony.
Bach did not notice Ling Yan’s strange behavior. He gave Gu Weiwei a hug and playfully said, “Don’t blame me for not awarding you the Best Director Award, because you have won the Best Actress Award and if you also gained the Best Director Award, everyone would die of anger.”
Gu Weiwei chuckled. “Honestly, I was quite disappointed.”
“No need to be disappointed now.” Bach smiled and said to the audience, “Ever since Dream of a Long Life, this is the only time that I have seen a film that has moved me like this. I can’t believe that she is only 19 years old. She is a genius in both the director role and as an actress in the movie.”
Ling Yan gritted her teeth as she stood next to them with the trophy.
Bach had asked her to go on stage and said so many words of praise about her, but in the end, it turned out that she was only there to present the award to Mu Weiwei?!
Bach threw a look at Ling Yan and then at Gu Weiwei.
“Miss. Ling Yan is the Movie Queen who starred in a legend, and you are the new legend. You are the first person to win two trophies at the Lugano Film Festival, so I asked Miss. Ling Yan to come on stage and present this trophy to you.”
Gu Weiwei threw a look at Ling Yan, who was shaking in anger next to her, and smiled.
Murphy and Bach were good friends, and when he told her that she would have two trophies, she already knew that the award for Best Actress was hers.
But she had not expected that Bach would be so crafty as to ask Ling Yan to give her the award.
