Chapter 389: Tonight was Their Night
“Teacher, don’t make things difficult for Brother Chenxing.” Jiang Yuning hastily came to Song Chenxing’s defence at this time. “Anyway, you should also be really excited that you have been nominated for the best actress award this year!”
As soon as Song Chenxing heard Jiang Yuning’s words, the expression on his face softened as he looked at Yao Fan.
He did not care if he would win any awards himself because he was already a film emperor. However, he really wanted Yao Fan to win the best actress award because he felt that Yao Fan deserved to win the award after all her hard work.
“I am confident that you will definitely win the award tonight.”
Jiang Yuning could not stop herself from rolling her eyes when she witnessed the interaction between Yao Fan and Song Chenxing. “Tonight is a big night for all of us, so please don’t make the people around you jealous for no reason.”
“We are already here. Let’s talk about this later!” Yao Fan quickly reminded the two of them as they arrived in front of the red carpet.
Song Chenxing’s agent was the first to get out of the car, followed by the three artistes one after the other. At this time, the host for the awards ceremony also started to introduce the guests that had just arrived at the venue.
“The guests walking up to the red carpet right now are none other than the cast from the drama . First of all, we have our film emperor, the handsome Song Chenxing, the most capable and talented Yao Fan, and last but not least, we have the beautiful Jiang Yuning walking up the red carpet now. Let’s give them a warm welcome.”
The Ginger Candies, who were camping outside the red carpet, held up their signboards and lanterns and they were extremely eye-catching among the crowd of fans camping outside the red carpet.
The Ginger Candies were all very energetic and excited as they kept screaming: “Jiang Yuning, I love you so much!”
When Yao Fan saw this, she could not help but lean over to Jiang Yuning as she whispered, “Your fans are really awesome!”
“Of course!” Jiang Yuning replied. She was very proud of her Ginger Candies and she quickly directed a flying kiss towards the spot where most of her Ginger Candies were camping and showing their support for her.
[Jiang Yuning really looks like a fairy. Don’t you think so?]
[Her dress is really gorgeous.]
[I am going to go home and make a collage of all the clothes and dresses that Jiang Yuning has worn before. She has a really amazing fas.h.i.+on sense.]
[Is that so? Well, I am going to pay more attention to how Jiang Yuning dresses up in the future.]
After that, the Ginger Candies successfully grabbed the attention of some of the pa.s.sers-by and fans of other artistes.
Shortly after Jiang Yuning walked the red carpet and entered the venue, Lin Kaiyan arrived at the red carpet. Lin Kaiyan had been nominated for the best actor award and he was walking the red carpet with a female actress known as Sister Hua, who had also been nominated for the best actress award. Therefore, both of them had a very majestic aura around them as they entered the scene as everyone kept their focus and attention on the couple.
Would they even be bothered with someone as insignificant as Jiang Yuning?
Tonight was their night!
…
Very soon, the media started uploading the pictures that they had taken on the Internet and of course, there were also pictures of Jiang Yuning and Lin Kaiyan.
After seeing the pictures, the fans of both parties began to squabble again.
[My idol’s aura is simply majestic tonight! Did someone come here to clean his shoes tonight?]
[Speaking of talents, our idol, Brother Kaiyan will be winning the t.i.tle of the film emperor and the best actor award for the third consecutive year! Brother Kaiyan is really amazing!]
[Brother Kaiyan is so handsome. I hope that the cameras will focus more on his face…]
[To a certain small artiste who is here to receive the popularity award, please stop trying so hard already. You will never be able to accomplish the fame and success that Brother Kaiyan has achieved!]
The comments section for the live broadcast of the awards ceremony was already flooded with comments and most of the comments were actually posted by Lin Kaiyan’s fans.
[You are saying that Brother Kaiyan looked down on ? What’s so wrong about it even if he really looked down on the novel? Our Brother Kaiyan is an amazing actor.]
[The small-time actress who barely got enough votes to win the popularity award should just stay away from my idol! You can call him your father!]
Of course, there were also some of Jiang Yuning’s loyal fans and pa.s.sers-by who jumped in to comment on the situation.
After that, someone posted a picture, comparing Jiang Yuning and Lin Kaiyan.
Anyway, no matter how anyone compared Jiang Yuning’s pictures, they could not see much differences in her appearance based on the pictures that were taken tonight compared to the pictures that had gone through the editing process.
However, it was a completely different story when they compared Lin Kaiyan’s pictures.
[In my honest opinion, Lin Kaiyan really looks very old!]
[How can anyone accept a celebrity who looks like this? Are we really lacking in young and handsome actors in the entertainment industry nowadays? Perhaps the netizens and public do not understand esthetics anymore?]
[Oh my gosh. Why is Lin Kaiyan’s skin so dark? Moreover, his skin looks so yellowish as though he is a mummy! Is he really in such a bad shape in reality?]
[Jiang Yuning really looks amazing in all of the pictures. She looks gorgeous whether she is doing a live activity or at the airport, and even on the red carpet itself! Her face and her complexion look so healthy and full of collagen!]
[Lin Kaiyan looks really very ugly in these pictures.]
Since Lin Kaiyan was already in his late thirties, it was impossible for him to look as good and youthful in comparison to Jiang Yuning.
Anyway, when the pa.s.sers-by read the comments, they focused on Lin Kaiyan and Jiang Yuning’s pictures and found out that the comments were all true indeed. After that, the pa.s.sers-by also started commenting on how old and ugly Lin Kaiyan actually was.
…
At this time, the awards ceremony had already begun.
The host was very energetic and eloquent and she started the awards ceremony with the guests laughing and cheering excitedly.
Jiang Yuning was seated with Yao Fan and Song Chenxing at the first row on the left side of the stage, while Lin Kaiyan and Hua Anxia were seated on the first row on the right side.
Tonight was destined to be the night where stars were made to s.h.i.+ne and the first award that would be awarded tonight was the best newcomer award.
Although had been submitted for many different categories of awards, Jiang Yuning was not nominated for the award despite having a huge fan base. This was simply because Jiang Yuning did not have any other works throughout the year that could justify her winning the award. Therefore, she missed out on the opportunity to snag the best newcomer award.
As the winners of the best newcomer award were called out, Yao Fan held Jiang Yuning’s hand as she comforted her. “Don’t take it to heart.”
Jiang Yuning looked at the pair of young actor and actress who were on stage to receive the best newcomer award and she smiled indifferently as she replied Yao Fan. “Don’t worry. I am not affected at all.”
After that, the next award that was presented was the best on-screen couple award.
This was subsequently followed by some guest performances for the night.
After that, the award for the best television drama was presented and eventually, it was time for the most popular artiste award. However, at this time, the name that appeared on the big screen was not Jiang Yuning. Even though the host made the announcement to welcome Jiang Yuning on stage, the name that was displayed on the big screen was ‘Jang Yuning’.
Who was Jang Yuning?
All the guest seated in the hall were stunned for a moment. They knew that the person receiving the award was Jiang Yuning, but how could they have gotten her surname wrong?
This was such a big and prestigious awards ceremony. So, how could they have made a mistake when displaying the name of a winner of an award on the big screen?
Wasn’t this just an effort to bully and humiliate the artiste?
Everyone sitting amongst the audience had a very confused expression on their faces as they did not know how they should react to the situation. In fact, they did not know whether Jiang Yuning was extremely lucky or unlucky. This was because it seemed as though all the good and bad things always seemed to happened to her no matter what it was.
Fortunately for Jiang Yuning, she had the Ginger Candies to protect and defend her now.
At this time, the host was also placed in a very awkward situation when she realized the grave mistake that the technical crew had made.
“Let’s give a round of applause as we welcome Miss Jiang Yuning up on stage to receive the award!”
There was warm applause from the audience but at this time, everyone had their eyes on Jiang Yuning as they were waiting to see her reaction.
This was especially so for Lin Kaiyan because he really wanted to see how this young artiste would react on the spot to restore her own dignity that had been crushed by the technical crew.
The host felt very embarra.s.sed too and she could only heave a huge sigh of relief after she handed the trophy over to Jiang Yuning. At this time, the host smiled as she decided to lighten the atmosphere by saying, “Fortunately enough, the name on the trophy is written correctly. It seems as though our technical crew really has to be punished this time. How could they make such a big mistake? Do you all think that it’s probably because they are blinded by the sequins on the dress that Miss Jiang is wearing? We cannot deny that she looks extremely gorgeous tonight. The technical crew must have made a mistake because they were distracted by this fairy! Miss Jiang, you can come and give your thank you speech now.”
Jiang Yuning held onto the trophy as she walked towards the microphone with her head held high as she looked at the audience seated before her…
