Chapter 704: Movie Queen

Translator: Henyee Translations    Editor: Henyee Translations

Almost no one would invest in a movie that was only made for the sake of art. Under such a vicious cycle, some aspiring directors could only seek to integrate art into commercial value and try to do both.

Ding Zhi had made many such attempts before filming “Beauty”, and “Beauty” was his most successful work. Even he could not guarantee that he would be able to create a movie that surpassed Beauty in the future.

After Xi De won the Best Supporting Actor award, Lu Zhen looked at him and smiled. There was an indescribable tacit understanding between the two of them.

However, the scene of the two of them looking at each other was captured by the camera. After the netizens saw it, many people who liked “Yue Qin x Zheng

Xiong” expressed that it was “sweet.”

Although Lu Zhen had a boyfriend, this did not stop them from secretly overly interpreting their smiles. In the entire production team of Beauty, Wu Dai was the most embarrassed. He was clearly the male lead, but he was not even nominated for the Best Actor Award.

Xi De was only a supporting role, but he had won an important award. This made him, the male lead, become even more embarrassed.

Wu Dai really regretted participating in this film festival, he should have done the same as Xu Rui. However, he was the male lead of Beauty after all. If he didn’t come, it would more or less be unreasonable. He might even offend Ding Zhi.

Xu Rui was a supporting actress. It did not matter if she came or not, but the male lead could not be absent. This thought flashed across Wu Dai’s mind, but he quickly cut off his fantasy and continued to sit and watch the award ceremony with a stiff expression.

Finally, it was time to announce the Best Actress Award. Many people present could not help but look at Lu Zhen from the corner of their eyes. As the female lead of “Beauty”, Lu Zhen had countless high-profile scenes in the movie. She had created the role of “Yue Qin” with flesh and blood, touching countless audiences.

In addition, the other movies that were selected for the Chunjiang Film Festival this year could not compare to Beauty in terms of quality, so the possibility of Lu Zhen winning the Best Actress Award was extremely high.

Although many people thought so, many people were also looking forward to it. What if Lu Zhen didn’t win the Best Actress Award?

Many people at the event location did not have any grudges with Lu Zhen, but there were not many people who really hoped that Lu Zhen could win this award. It was just like two children. One child was born into a rich family and had everything he wanted since he was young. He also had a likable personality and everyone around him liked him.

If another child saw this situation, would he really like this child and hope that he would be lucky forever?

Probably not.

It was a common phenomenon to flatter the strong and trample on the weak, but most people cared a lot about their reputation. In the face of the disparity, not many people could accept it calmly.

The event location became even quieter.

On the big screen, the performance of the actors selected for the Best Actress Award began to play. Among them, the clip from Beauty was slightly different from the one at the Holy Grail Film Festival, but it was also the highlight of Lu Zhen’s acting skills.

After the video was played, the guest presenter walked onto the stage and interacted with the emcee. Then, the guest walked up to the podium and took out the envelope. He glanced at the words printed on the card.

The guest presenter revealed a meaningful smile and looked at a certain spot. During this process, every minute and every second seemed to be lengthened.

The flow of time felt incomparably slow.

The netizens watching the award ceremony were also very anxious. They wished they could press the fast-forward button for the live-stream.

“Let us congratulate—

“Lu Zhen! Let’s welcome the Best Actress of this year’s Chunjiang Film Festival on stage to receive the award!”

As soon as the emcee finished speaking, the event location erupted in applause.

Under everyone’s gaze, Lu Zhen held her skirt and walked onto the stage. She had a gentle expression and a proper smile on her face. She didn’t look like she was overly emotional. She looked more like a princess attending a daily banquet. Her posture was natural and relaxed.

The purple dress was so beautiful that no one could take their eyes off it.

After walking onto the podium, the guest presented Lu Zhen with a trophy. Lu Zhen held the trophy and began to give her acceptance speech. Lu Zhen’s acceptance speech was more conventional, but she also added some of her own thoughts—

“Starlight does not disappoint travelers. What you do with your heart will always come to an end. I want to tell my former self that you have done it. I will continue to walk this path bravely and not disappoint fate..”
