The matter of suing Shen Xiyan went very smoothly.
According to Chen Lan, Shen Xiyan was still stubborn and refused to admit the crime of attempted murder, but she did not plan to hire a lawyer herself.
âIf sheâs lying flat, she wonât let go no matter what. If she doesnât want to go to prison, sheâs not enthusiastic about this at allâ¦Who knows what sheâs thinking?â
Chen Lan helped Song Qingyou tidy up her gown as she complained in a low voice.
âShe might have a backup plan.â Song Qingyou looked into the mirror.
âA backup plan?â Chen Lan suddenly raised her head. âThe Shen family is already too busy to take care of themselves, what other backup plans can they have?â
Song Qingyou shook her head lightly.
If she knew, she would have strangled the threat in the cradle. How could she let Shen Xiyan jump around?
âThen Iâll pay more attention to the movements on the Internet.â
As Chen Lan spoke, she took a jewelry box from the table beside her.
The moment the box was opened, dozens of diamonds shone brightly under the light above them. It was difficult to ignore them.
âThis is-â
âItâs from Assistant Fang. He said that Mr. Barker is too busy to accompany you to the film festival.â Chen Lan put on her gloves and picked up the necklace.â She even said that if you donât like this, you can just throw it away.â
Song Qingyou raised her eyebrows but didnât say anything. She bent down slightly and asked Chen Lan to help put it on.
Tonightâs award ceremony was an annual event in the film industry.
The order of the guests on the red carpet was still based on their influence rankings.
Gu Xingchen, Zhong Jiayin, and the others walked past them one by one. Soon, it was Song Qingyouâs turn.
This time, be it the host who interviewed her in the middle or the artistes who lined up behind her, they were all very polite. The former asked simple and conventional questions, while the latter did not intend to steal the spotlight.
It was obvious that the people in the industry were acting this way because they knew that Longxing Logistics, which was in the limelight, was hers.
Song Qingyou accepted it calmly. After walking the red carpet, she was led by the staff to sit in the first few rows. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Gu Xingchen and Gu Lingfei, who had already started chatting, did not forget to turn their heads to greet her.
After a while, Zhao Yingnan sat behind Song Qingyou.
âQingyou, what a coincidence.â She took the initiative to greet him, but her smile was a little stiff.
âWhatâs wrong?â Song Qingyou glanced back and leaned over.
âIâm a little nervous.â Zhao Yingnan said,â Qingyou, arenât you nervous?â
âItâs alright.â
â Thatâs true. Qingyou is so powerful. Thereâs nothing to worry about.â
Zhao Yingnan smiled.â I just heard that many foreign films and actors will participate in this film festival. The awards ceremony will also be broadcast live in these countries. It is said that it will directly affect the global rankings⦠After being nagged by the manager too much, 1 canât help but get nervous.â âDonât worry, just focus on filming.â Song Qingyou nodded.
It was up to the judges to decide whether they would win the award or not.
Even though there were thousands of judges, they still rotated every year.
It was impossible to be 100% fair.
âThatâs true.â
Zhao Yingnan nodded.
However, he did not think so in his heart.
As long as they worked hard, werenât they all people who had their own confidence and didnât need to rely on others?
But she was not.
This was already Zhao Yingnanâs 8th nomination for Best Female Lead at the annual film festival. If she couldnât win the award, it would be even more difficult in the future.
Countless people were laughing at her behind her back, saying that even if she went all out and accepted the unspoken rules, she would not even be able to get the best actress award.
Zhao Yingnan looked at Song Qingyou who was sitting straight in front of her, her eyes full of envy.
Soon, the seats on the right were filled with foreign movie stars who had come from afar. The film festival awards ceremony officially began.
The names of the final winners of various awards were stuffed into the envelopes held by the staff.
Pan Meihua, the retired top actress in the country, went on stage.
It was obvious that she was the host of this award ceremony.
Even though her hair was already gray, Pan Meihua still had a good figure and an outstanding temperament.
She smiled and interacted with the audience. At the same time, she also brought out the first award, the Best Film Award.
This award was won by a movie starred by Fu Chen and a foreign movie.
When the two directors went on stage, Zhao Yingnan couldnât help but lean forward. âThe Laws of Loveâ is doing much better at the box office.â
Song Qingyou glanced sideways.
â Movie awards donât all depend on the box office. Compared to Brother Fuâs movie,âThe Laws of Loveâis still far from it.â
Song Qingyou had expected that there wouldnât even be a nomination.
It was a simple romance comedy script with no exquisite plot. If one wanted to win an award, they would have to either be a foolâs dream or start from the setting and background music. They would have to win a score award, a scene award, or something like that.
Zhao Yingnan didnât expect her to be so âopen-mindedâ and couldnât help but be silent.
Back then, when the first movie she starred in was selected, she still fantasized about winning various awardsâ¦
On the stage, Pan Meihua appeared once again.
The awards behind the best film were all related to the film itself.
For example, music, screenwriting, photography, editingâ¦Wait.
â The Laws of Love â was nominated for music, photography, fashion design, and other awards, but they all missed out.
The camera swept past Song Qingyou more than once.
However, she was not disappointed at all. The camera only captured her smiling and clapping.
After the awards for the movie were announced, it was time for the individual awards.
The first award was the Best Director Award.
Perhaps it was because â The Laws of Love â was so good at the box office that An Sui was nominated, but the trophy had nothing to do with him.
Next was the Best Supporting Actor and Female Lead award.
The Best Supporting Actor was a foreign actor.
The winner of the Best Female Lead was Ye Guiwan.
As soon as the male and female lead nominees appeared, everyoneâs spirits were lifted.
The Best Male Lead award was once again won by Gu Xingchen.
Even the foreign artistes on the right were applauding and cheering for him.
âNext up is the Best Actress Award.â
Pan Meihua kept her in suspense again as she swept her gaze across the nominees.
The camera and lights would fall on the nominees that were shown on the big screen.
The domestic nominees included Song Qingyou, Zhong Jiayin, and Zhao Yingnan.
Prior to this, the internet had long been debating about the ownership of the Best Actress title.
Zhong Jiayin was the loudest.
It was just that the role she played in this yearâs movie did not reflect her acting skills.
The second person who was the loudest was Song Qingyou.
Most of the people who didnât think thatâ The Laws of Love â was a family-themed love comedy and didnât have the ability to compete with other films. No matter how outstanding Song Qingyouâs performance was, she would be deducted.
As for the other nominees, besides a few foreign actresses, there was also Zhao Yingnan.
Zhao Yingnan had acted in two movies this year. One of them had been nominated for Best Supporting Actress, and the other was the female lead, so she had a chance to compete.
Zhao Yingnan was a little nervous. She couldnât help but climb up Song Qingyouâs chair and chat with her..
