Chapter 699: The Legendary Movie Queen (9)
All eyes and camera lenses were focused on the youngest Movie Queen ever, in the history of the Lugano Film Festival, and the audience rapidly burst into applause.
Embarra.s.sed, Ling Yan stood by the side with the trophy that was going to be presented to Mu Weiwei, wis.h.i.+ng that she could just smash the trophy into pieces.
But she could not do such a thing, when so many eyes and cameras were on her.
Although she was very annoyed, she still forced a smile and gave the trophy to her.
Gu Weiwei received the trophy with a smile and saw the unwillingness and hatred in Ling Yan’s eyes.
Standing next to Mu Weiwei and Ling Yan, Bach excitedly said, “The legendary Movie Queen presented the trophy for Best Actress to this year’s new legend, Mu Weiwei. I am so touched.”
Gu Weiwei did not know whether to laugh or cry. He was touched, but Ling Yan must currently hate them to death.
Ling Yan’s aura and expression when she was on the stage just now meant that she was there to receive the award.
But after he had asked her to go on stage and praised her, he had then requested for her to be the guest presenter instead.
It was already very frustrating for Ling Yan, when Mu Weiwei won the Best Actress Award.
But after Bach’s request, Mu Weiwei actually won the award from Ling Yan’s hands, which made Ling Yan feel even worse.
Ling Yan tried hard to keep the smile on her face, but she was so annoyed that she was ready to vomit out blood.
d.a.m.n that Bach! He had asked her to come onto the stage, just to give Mu Weiwei the award.
And he said that the legendary Movie Queen was going to present the award to the new legend, which meant that Mu Weiwei had already crushed and overtaken her.
Her Dream of a Long Life 2 premiered on the same day as Mu Weiwei’s Sleepless but now, Mu Weiwei had won the Best Newcomer Award and the Best Actress Award at the Lugano Film Festival, and she, the legendary Movie Queen, had returned empty-handed. She was so embarra.s.sed.
She had just been s.h.i.+ning so brightly on stage, but now she was so embarra.s.sed that she just wanted to find a hole to hide herself in.
Standing next to her, Gu Weiwei spoke her acceptance speech in English, with the trophy in her hands.
Having spoken, she turned to Ling Yan.
“Lastly, I would like to thank the legendary Movie Queen Ling Yan, for giving me this award.”
Of course it would be more frustrating for Ling Yan because she had to give her the award herself!
Bach gave the microphone to Ling Yan and asked, “As the former Movie Queen, do you have anything to say to our new Movie Queen this year?”
Ling Yan’s smile wavered and her voice sounded hoa.r.s.e.
“Congratulations, Miss. Mu Weiwei.”
She was already gritting her teeth, but she still had to congratulate Mu Weiwei.
What was the grudge between her and Bach? Why did he ask her if she wanted to say anything to Mu Weiwei?
If it had not been for the fact that so many eyes were on her, she would not have given the award to Mu Weiwei.
Gu Weiwei bowed with a smile. “Thank you.”
Since the trophy had been presented, Ling Yan did not need to stand on the stage anymore. She forced herself to elegantly get off the stage and returned to her seat.
She had just sat down, when she saw Bach asking someone to bring Mu Weiwei’s other trophy onto the stage and asking all the winners to take a picture with her.
And Mu Weiwei, who was the only person who had won two trophies, was receiving many congratulations from everyone on the stage, surrounded by the stars.
She was enjoying the glory that belonged to her.
