Chapter 980: She Won’t Be Laughing When She Doesn’t Get The Award
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Thinking of how Lin Che was nominated for Best Female Lead made her blood boil.
She sat there and thought, It’s not for certain that she’ll get it. When the time comes and she doesn’t win, I’ll see how she deals with it…
Yang Lin slammed her hand and said to her a.s.sistant, “Get someone to elevate Lin Che’s status. Make her look like a frontliner.”
The a.s.sistant said, “What… What’s wrong with you, Sister Lin? Finding people to do that would cost a lot of money.”
“What about it? I have plenty of money. Why shouldn’t I spend it? Should I give it to you instead? I want to push her up. The higher she goes, the worse she’ll fall. When the time comes, I’ll approach the organizing committee and convince them not to pick her…”
The a.s.sistant knew that Yang Lin had always spend money quickly but she also earned money quickly anyway. Otherwise, she could always spend a night out drinking and a hundred thousand yuan would be in her hands. Sleeping with someone would earn her another few hundred thousand yuan. She spent the money she earned on herself, so she went even higher. She never cared about her reputation. She had a very bad temper and never listened to anybody.
The a.s.sistant did not dare to say anything else. She wanted to remind her that she offended Lin Che the last time and nothing good came out of it. Did she really want to repeat the same thing without a care for all these?
The a.s.sistant felt that Lin Che was formidable and didn’t quite want to offend her. However, she had no say in this.

Because Lin Che’s popularity never backed down, the Internet was lively on the day of the movie’s release. Lin Che did not take notice.
The premiere would take place at Jinming Film City in B City.
Lin Che made it there early.
As they almost stumbled the last time, they increased manpower this time.
The fans were all waiting outside. Lin Che waved at them and blew kisses before she went in.
Nan Gongyu was waiting inside. Seeing the commotion outside, he shook his head and asked, “Hey superstar, isn’t it too crowded?”
Lin Che said helplessly, “It’s not like I can help it. The reality show just aired, so my popularity naturally rose.”
Nan Gongyu shook his head and looked at Lin Che. He could not deny that she still had what it took to be a big star.
The two of them chatted as they walked in.
Inside were many artists also here to grace the event. It appeared that way, but there were some who really just wanted a bit of the limelight since reporters were here too.
The numbers were no less than the last time.
After all, some artists were not particularly popular. For them to get onto headlines or appear in the news, they had to do this.
When Lin Che and Nan Gongyu went in, everyone approached them.
“Congratulations, Director! This movie will definitely be a hit.”
“Thank you, thank you. Thank you for your support, everyone.”
Everyone looked at Lin Che and took turns to greet her. “Congratulations. You’re already on your way to Best Female Lead before the movie shows.”
“Not at all. The movie is not released yet, so don’t kill me. Haha.” Lin Che smiled as she greeted everyone. She now seemed more mature and outgoing, yet low-profile and reserved.
She was very warm, but seeing so many bodyguards behind her naturally revealed her status now.
Everyone looked at Lin Che. She wore a long, black dress which was elegant and natural. She had tiny embellishments on her neck that did not look over-the-top. She did not look like some celebrities who had to wear clothes from famous brands. Her clothes did not show any brand names, but it was obvious from the materials that they were not cheap. She held a clutch in her hand while everything else was carried behind her by her a.s.sistant.
However, her figure and appearance never fluctuated through the years, a rarity in celebrities. Some female stars went crazy with cosmetic enhancements and their faces did not look so natural. Lin Che’s face did not look like that.
At a glance, she did not look any different from other people. Her dressing was not exaggerated and the smile on her face was not fake. Although n.o.body wanted to admit it, the way she presented herself now was indeed everyone’s style. A frontliner was simply different and she showed that.
However, some people were not happy about seeing her like this.
Especially when she was like a queen who was congratulated by everyone. She stood in the middle as the focus of attention. That made people feel disdainful.
If it wasn’t for that reality show, how could she be so popular now?
To rely on a reality show for popularity was as good as selling your face for popularity.

Everyone felt jealous of this kind of celebrity. They were contemptuous on the surface, believing that one had to be shameless to be successful. If only they dared to be shameless for popularity.
Lin Che wiggled her way through the crowd and found her seat. The crew sat in the first row, followed by their invited guests behind. As there were too many people, Lin Che could not say h.e.l.lo to everybody. Thus, she decided not to talk to anyone else, choosing to talk to Nan Gongyu instead.
The people behind wanted to show their faces and chat her up but there was no chance to. Everyone sat down and they could only give up on squeezing in front.
They sat down and complained, “Seriously. It’s instant fame and she acts all high and mighty. She doesn’t even bother to say hi or sit with us.”
“Exactly. She brought so many people with her. It’s as if she’s so worried that someone might try to harm her.”
“She’s just a small celebrity. She really takes herself too seriously.”
“The movie is not even out yet. Who knows good it is?”
“Hmph. She won’t be so arrogant when the box office sales plummet.”
Everyone looked ahead as they talked. It was a pity that their target could not hear them at all. After all, Lin Che sat all the way at the front and she never turned around to look behind her. She only kept her attention on Nan Gongyu, ignoring everyone else.
At that moment, the movie started.
Everyone looked up to watch the movie. The hall became dark and the voices gradually hushed.
It was also Lin Che’s first time watching the post-edited movie. Following the music, she watched herself appear on the screen. This provocative role was one she never acted before. The woman she acted as was a villain, so it was really different from her past roles. However, this villain was only bad on the surface. She was actually a girl who had a very weak heart. The acting was part of her livelihood and she was always lying.
The movie started off in a happy atmosphere. It was fast-paced and full of humor.
Until the end, in a coincidence, the female cheater was duped. She was thrown in jail and the last person who looked at her was the male lead whom she cheated.
The dark humor harbored sadness. The movie was beautiful and it also displayed tragedy.
From non-stop laughter, the audience was moved into deep thoughts. They were so engrossed.
