Chapter 807 - Best Supporting Female Actress

"The next award is… best supporting female actress. The audience please watch the big screen!"

As Lilia and Harold were talking, the emcee was already standing in front of the microphone with an envelope in his hand and speaking in a high pitched voice.

In an instant, the frenzied atmosphere became extremely quiet.

All eyes are on the big screen.

Photos and works of the four nominated actresses are broadcast alternately.

After the short film, the host continued, "Wow, it seems that this award has been awaited by many people here and on the internet. And this time, I ask Mr. Denny for help to announce it!"

Denny, who is a long-time director in the film industry, has gray hair with a pair of sunglasses when walking on stage.

After that, he slowly opened the envelope that was handed to him, and the big screen also switched to the live footage of the four nominated actresses in real time.

Denny saw the name written on the paper, raised his eyes to look at the audience, and said straightforwardly, "The best supporting female actress award of the 19th Film Festival Award is..."

He froze for three seconds. This obviously pushed the anxious atmosphere on the scene to a high point.

By the time everyone was holding their breath, Denny continued, "Congratulations to Lilia from the Chosen Kingdom movie!"

The audience was in an uproar, the announcement was straight up shocking and unbelievable!

On the big screen, the camera switched again, and shot the figure of Lilia alone.

The guests present looked at her with curved lips and smiled. Lilia then stood up from the crowd. No joy, no tears, she just forced herself to smile.

When she woke up, Shirley clapped and said calmly, "Congratulations, Lilia!"

After hearing this, she nodded slightly. "Thank you."

Shirley saw her face without any discoloration. She only noticed that Lilia's face had a slight smile on it.

After studying abroad, Shirley still held a grudge against Lilia for winning tonight's award.

This time, Lilia dragged her skirt up the stairs. On her way to the stage to receive the award, a monologue of her reasons for the award was played live.

She dragged her skirt in front of Denny and bowed to her politely. When she received the trophy, the audience applauded.

Lilia held the trophy in one hand, then she accepted the microphone that was handed over by Denny.

The beams of spotlights shone on her from all directions, and her beautiful figure almost captivated everyone's eyes.

She looked at the audience, leaned slightly, and spoke clearly, "Hello everyone, I'm Lilia!"

Her fans cheered and her admirers clapped enthusiastically.

Including the main crew of the "Chosen Kingdom", they all looked at her excitedly.

Lilia's eyes shone like stars, and she curled her lips in a calm and graceful manner. "First of all, thank you to the judges for their kindness for giving me such a valuable award. It is an honor to be nominated along with several other seniors in the film and television industry. I'm so lucky to have won this trophy."

At this point, Lilia shook her head and laughed, and there was also laughter from the audience.

"If I have the opportunity in the future, I will continue to expand my acting skills and try to do better for the audience. Secondly, I would like to thank the main creative crew of "The Chosen Kingdom", including the director Louis who has recruited me, Brother Edward and Shirley and the rest of the crews. Because of their contributions, this drama has been able to shine brightly across the country."

"Lastly, I would like to thank my agent, Harold, who has worked hard and guided me over the years. In the future, I will continue to work hard, and once again thank you for everyone's trust."

After she finished her words, Lilia took a step back and bowed deeply to express her gratitude.

When she withdrew from the stage, the host came back and took over the spot. 

"After listening to Lilia's speech, I suddenly thought of a sentence. Harold, do you know what it is?"

Harold looked at Louis beside him, and asked, "What?"

"Luck and humility belong to the victor! The role played by Lilia is deeply rooted in people's hearts. I think the judges and guests here also remember this film. Even though this is her first movie, this result is also fair. She deserves it and I can't wait to work with her again!"

Tonight, the news of Lilia winning the award was posted on the front page on all major platforms.

After this nineteenth award ceremony was over, it could be said that the film "The Chosen Kingdom" became the winner.

Not only did they win the best supporting female actress, but also best male actor, best special effects award, best director award and many other awards.

Lilia did not attend the celebratory banquet due to her health.

But she received congratulatory text messages from many people on her cell phone.

For some time, Lilia's name was again popular in all corners of the country.

As a supermodel, she was able to star in films and win best supporting female actress in one try. This is rare in domestic film and television circles.

Of course, even if there were several different voices in public opinion, no one would dare to question the authority of this award openly.

After the awards ceremony, Lilia returned to the car, and it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.

Dina handed over the nutritious meal that was prepared in advance, and said quickly, "Madam, congratulations! I just watched the award live broadcast. When you won the award, the number of viewers on the live broadcast platform reached 20 million, this is a record-breaking!"

Lilia rubbed her tired shoulders, turning her gaze to look at the trophy next to her. "I didn't expect to win myself."

At this time, Harold came in after smoking outside the car. When he heard these words, he raised his eyebrows and joked, "It seems that I can deal with it with a normal heart, and there is a completely unexpected advantage!"

After today, it was clear that Lilia's rank and popularity would definitely rise to a higher level.

Just as she was leaving the place, several directors had already come to talk to her, wanting Lilia to star in their films.

At this moment, Lilia sighed, still holding the lunch that Dina had given her in her arms.

She raised her eyebrows and said, "This is indeed quite a surprising blessing…. Dina, I'm a little tired, let's go back home!"

Really tired, and she had no appetite.

She had just rummaged through all the congratulatory messages on her cell phone, but what she was looking for was nowhere to be found.

What is that man doing?!

Hasn't he seen the news about the award?!

Although she appeared calm and gentle, deep in her heart, she longed to see her husband.

Dina saw Lilia's tired expression, so she hurriedly started the engine and left the National Grand Theatre.

On the way, Lilia received a call from Claire.

"Lilia, you are amazing! I'm so glad you won best supporting female actress in one fell swoop!"

Lilia closed her eyes and smiled gently. "Thank you sis."

"Oh yeah, I called you to let you know that the final version of the wedding dress has arrived. Tomorrow morning, I will arrange your photo shoot...."
