1391 Star Award Ceremony

Unlike the red carpet at various galas, the production team would walk the red carpet at the film festival together. Only specially invited guests would walk the red carpet alone.

As the production team that was nominated for twelve nominations for this year’s Star Award, ‘Interweaving Night’ had the largest red carpet scene. Xia Qinghuan was nominated for the Best Actress Award, Yuan Guang was nominated for the Best Actor Award, Jian Yiyi and Du Wei were nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Award, Wang Mingxiao was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Award, and Chu Lingfeng was nominated for the Best Original Script, Best Soundtrack, Best Lighting, and so on.

As a foreign director, Director Cloony was still nominated for the Best Director Award. However, he was not present because he was filming in Hollywood.

Even so, the red carpet lineup of ‘Interweaving Night’ was definitely dazzling. Although they were all newcomers who had just become famous last year, every one of them was a rising star.

As soon as the production team stepped onto the red carpet, the fans shouted for support. Everyone smiled and greeted each other while cooperating with the media’s cameras. Because there was no interview segment, everyone only walked across the red carpet and signed their names before entering the venue.

The organizer also consciously arranged for the production team to sit in the first row.

Chen Jin had long entered the venue. As soon as Xia Qinghuan sat down, the makeup artist took the initiative to touch up her makeup.

“Have some water.” Chen Jin handed a bottle of high-class mineral water to Qinghuan. There was a straw stuck in the bottle to prevent smudged lipstick.

Xia Qinghuan took two sips of water and said to Chen Jin, “Don’t be busy, Brother Jin. I can do it myself.”

“Aren’t you nervous?” Chen Jin asked.

Xia Qinghuan smiled and shook her head. “I’m not nervous. I feel different from last year’s Galaxy Award.”

Last year, Xia Qinghuan was nominated for the Galaxy Award and won the Best Actress Award. She still remembered it exceptionally well. During the entire awards ceremony, her heart was beating faster, and she could feel her desire for the Best Actress Award.

Although Xia Qinghuan was not one who asked for credit, that did not mean that she did not want to be recognized. The Galaxy Award was the most authoritative movie award, so Xia Qinghuan placed a lot of importance on it.

However, her attitude towards this Star Award this time was relatively calm. It was best if she could win it. If not, she still had a chance in the future. After all, she was still young.

Of course, the most important reason was Xia Qinghuan’s confidence in her acting skills. She had seen all the movies that had been nominated. She felt she would win the Best Actress Award this time.

Her mentality caused her to not panic. In just half a year, she had grown a lot.

However, when Chen Jin heard this, he took two deep breaths and patted his wildly beating heart. “If you’re not nervous, I’m nervous. My palms are sweating.”

Xia Qinghuan couldn’t help but laugh. “Go to the backstage and rest. Let nature take its course.”

Yuan Guang, who was sitting beside Xia Qinghuan, also said, “Brother Jin, don’t worry. Everyone expects Qinghuan to win the Best Actress Award this time. The Star Award doesn’t want to lose its credibility.”

Chen Jin nodded as if encouraging himself. In the end, he didn’t forget to encourage Yuan Guang. “Guangguang, you can do it too. Come back with a Best Actor Award.”

Yuan Guang only smiled and nodded, but he was not too confident.

‘Interweaving Night’ was a script focused on the female lead. The movie became so popular because the original novel was too popular back then. The first accomplishment was that the female lead, Xia Qinghuan, portrayed the essence of Ye Zheng’s role.

Although Yuan Guang was the male lead, he did not have many scenes. Although his acting was not bad, he felt he was still short of winning the Best Actor Award.

If the male lead was already like this, there was no need to mention the other supporting roles.

Jian Yiyi sat in her seat. She looked calm on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil.

She had not slept well for the past few days. She initially did not expect to be nominated, but once she was nominated, she could not help but look forward to winning an award.

She was also someone who wanted credit the most in her heart. Getting the Star Award would undoubtedly satisfy her vanity to a large extent.

However, the competition for the female supporting role for this Star Award was not fierce. Jian Yiyi felt that her biggest competitor was not anyone else, but the second female lead, Du Wei, who was in the same production team as her.

“Yiyi, are you nervous?” Wang Mingxiao sat beside Jian Yiyi and asked with concern.

Jian Yiyi smiled and pouted. “A little.”

“You can do it. You’re also very popular among fans. There won’t be a problem,” Wang Mingxiao said. It was obvious that he was privately more concerned about Jian Yiyi winning an award than if he could win one.

Jian Yiyi was so nervous that her legs were a little weak. She wasn’t in the mood to waste her attention on Wang Mingxiao. She only nodded and said nothing.

At eight in the evening, the awards ceremony was broadcasted live on the movie channel punctually. The viewership ratings instantly rose to first place at the same time.

The first half was filled with some post-production awards and some singers’ performances. The post-production team of ‘Interweaving Night’ also won three awards: Best Lighting, Best Soundtrack, and Best Editing.

The main event started with the first heavyweight award for the best supporting actor in the second half.

The guest presenter said a bunch of words to stir the atmosphere on stage and pulled out the short films. The commentator’s voice sounded in the venue: “The nominees for the best supporting actor in the sixteenth Star Award are…”

He Huan, ‘Sheng Tang’

Wang Mingxiao, ‘Interweaving Night’

Zheng Xun ‘Heaven-Pointing Sword’

Xu Binbin, ‘A Glass of Water and a Bowl of Rice’

Hong Shang, ‘The Three Stooges’

When the name of each finalist was reported, they would play a highlighted scene from the movie for ten seconds. At this moment, Wang Mingxiao became nervous.

Just like everyone else, even if they did not care so much about winning the award, it was impossible for them to not care if they were nominated.

This was even more so for Wang Mingxiao.

Over the past year, although he had accumulated a certain amount of popularity and was already quite famous, and the resources the company gave him were not bad, he was still far from Jian Yiyi, who had better resources, development, and popularity.

If he could win one of the most authoritative awards in the film festival, his status would increase, and he would have more confidence and qualifications to protect the girl in his heart.

Wang Mingxiao couldn’t help but secretly clench his fists. He couldn’t help but shout his name in his heart, hoping that the person who gave the award would shout his name.

At this moment, even his breathing became heavy.

The presenter slowly opened the envelope in his hand and looked at the words in it. He revealed a smile that no one could understand and slowly said, “The sixteenth Star Award for the Best Supporting Actor. The winner is—Wang Mingxiao, ‘Interweaving Night.’ Congratulations!”

The camera on the big screen instantly cut to Wang Mingxiao’s face. He had a stunned expression, and Jian Yiyi applauded excitedly.
