When Ning Xi saw the words âBest Female Secondary Leadâ, she felt just as thrilled as when she found out she had been nominated for the Best Female Lead for âDream Chaserâ.
âThe Worldâ was her first movie, thus it was sentimental to her. To be nominated in the countryâs most prestigious awards ceremony, it was a great affirmation to her past rookie self.
When she browsed the document further, she sawâ¦
âWhat the heck?! Ning Xueluoâs lousy acting got her a nomination for Best Female Lead?â Lu Jingli was surprised, then he mumbled, âThere must be some hidden deal behind this, or her name might just be included there for the sake of it!â
After Ning Xi studied the whole list, she realized that Ning Xueluo had two movies that had been nominated for Best Female Lead. One of it was âThe Worldâ, and the other one was âMountainâ.
It seemed like Ning Xueluo was pushing to redeem herselfâ¦
âSheâs been nominated for two roles! The judging panel must be blind!â Lu Jingli kept on complaining.
Ning Xi stroked her chin and started analyzing, âNing Xueluoâs performance in âThe Worldâ was pretty satisfying. Itâs within expectation that sheâs been nominated as the Best Female Lead for that.â
Even now people were still talking about how Ning Xueluoâs performance in âThe Worldâ was the peak of her entire acting career.
In truth, most of Ning Xueluoâs acting had been a reaction to Ning Xi.
She could not find the same sense of urgency in the later films. Of course, she could never reach that level of performance againâ¦
Ning Xi paused for a little, then continued, âAs for a film like âMountainâ, because it was aired at the same time as âDream Chaserâ, they did terribly at the box office and earned only a few million, but this movie never aimed to do well at the box office anyway. It was aimed at winning awards based on the type and theme of the movie. The judging panel likes character development such as the one in the film, so itâs not unexpected that itâs nominatedâ¦â
It did not matter whether Ning Xueluo had pulled any strings behind the scenes. There would not be any objections from anyone about these two roles of hers being nominated.
As for Ning Xiâs âDream Chaserâ, which was labeled as a commercial soap drama, it was really unexpected for it to be nominated, and although she performed pretty well in âThe Worldâ, the Best Female Secondary Lead category was pretty competitive this time. She saw several other strong opponents in the list. It would be difficult for her to win.
Lu Jingli patted Ning Xiâs shoulder. âXiao Xi Xi, my guess would be that⦠Your chances of winning an award are pretty high! Youâre really talented after all!â
Lu Tingxiao interrupted, âDo you really still have to guess?â
Lu Jingli was speechless. âFine, fine⦠We donât need to guess. Your wife is the best!â
Lu Tingxiao looked at Ning Xi and comforted her, âDonât worry, the Golden Film Award is one of the most highly regarded awards, not only because itâs professional, but itâs also well-known for their fairness. One will need to win an award by merit.â
Even if someone pulled tricks from within, they would never be able to affect the final results.
Ning Xi was a little nervous since it was her first time being nominated after all, but she felt much better after Lu Tingxiao comforted her.
âCongratulations for being nominated, Mommy!â The little bun complimented his mother, and he had somehow brought her a bouquet of flowers as well.
The bouquet was too huge for the little bun. It almost covered his whole body.
Lu Tingxiao took the bouquet and presented it to Ning Xi. He kissed her forehead and murmured, âCongratulations.â
The two of them⦠They had come prepared!
The single Lu Jingli was so jealous of them. He suppressed his pain and took out a car key. âItâs a reward from the company! Iâm giving it to you in advance!â
âThank youâ¦â Ning Xi gently held the flowers. She was not worried about winning an award at the moment. Warmth flooded her heart.
