Chapter 1369: Will She Be the Best Actress?
“Hey, are you stupid? What nonsense! Ye Tianxin is only a student. She is not working for the foreign affairs ministry. How can she take part in the evacuation exercise?”
“It’s true. That’s what my neighbor said. Her sister works as an accountant for the project. She said she only knew that Ye Tianxin was a celebrity when she returned home.”
“I don’t believe this.”
“Me too.”
“That’s impossible.”
“What a load of rubbis.h.!.+”
Just as the internet was abuzz with what Ye Tianxin was wearing that night, they went on to discuss the jewelry she was wearing as well as how she excelled in her studies.
Similarly, there was a heated discussion on the forum of Capital University. They were all cheering for Ye Tianxin.
She was a student at Capital University. They were very proud of her achievements. She had brought glory to the university.
There might be girls at the university who were prettier than Ye Tianxin, but none of them were smarter than her. Those who were smarter than her did not have as influential of a family as her. Those from a more influential family were not as kind as her. She stood out from the crowd; she was one of a kind.
Ye Tianxin stood in front of the camera like a diva.
Ye Tianxin was not able to see the comments on the forum. Smartphones were not common then and she could only log onto her QQ on her phone to read the news.
Ye Tianxin sat down on a chair as Yan Jun whispered into her ear. “Tianxin, are you nervous?”
“No.”
Ye Tianxin wasn’t that nervous at all.
The film festivals outside of the Empire did not regard their movie highly. It was not a hot favorite at the awards.
Ye Tianxin knew very well that it was impossible for ‘Red Cherry’ to win any international awards.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, we won’t win anyway.”
Yan Jun was also aware that their chances of winning were pretty low. Still, he could not help but feel nervous. He bit his lips and a.s.sured Ye Tianxin. “When our film industry grows bigger, these international media and film companies will grovel at our feet.”
“Do you feel a big sense of responsibility here?”
Yan Jun looked intently at Ye Tianxin and noticed her playfulness in the question.
“The best actress of the eighty-second Golden Partridge is…”
The presenter on stage opened his eyes wide as he tore open the envelope. He looked stunned when he saw the results.
Did he receive the wrong results? Was there a mistake? It is not April’s Fool day.
He quickly regained his senses and professionalism. Raising his voice to a higher pitch, he read out the results aloud.
“The character from the movie, ‘Red Cherry’, Ye Tianxin!”
When the guest onstage went up with the sealed envelope, n.o.body, not even Ye Tianxin herself, expected to hear her name being called out.
Everyone broke into cries of surprise. The spotlight then shone on Ye Tianxin.
“Tianxin, quick! Get on stage and receive your award.”
Yan Jun reminded her.
Ye Tianxin stood up, still dazzling everyone with her smile. She raised her hand and waved at the audience.
It was wonderful news for the Empire and the entire film industry. Soon, the news would spread quickly in the media world and hit the headlines of every newspaper.
It was the first time someone from the Empire had won this award.
Ye Tianxin walked toward the stage with light footsteps. It was as if she was floating.
The beam of light was s.h.i.+ning on her until she stood on stage.
