Chapter 273 - 274: Nomination Viewing
Early in the morning, Xia Yangyang went to the company.
She had a full schedule as usual today.
Xia Yangyang’s assistant, Xiao Mi, looked at her with a startled face. “Sister Yangyang, did you see the news? You’re on the headlines.”
“Haven’t I been on the headlines these past few days? Just ignore it.”
Xiao Mi was extremely anxious. “This time it’s different, Sister Yangyang. You should discuss crisis PR with the boss. Moreover, Shen Manbing is the boss’s sister. If the boss mediates, this matter will blow over quickly.”
But Xia Yangyang responded, “I have been wronged. Why should I put up with it? Let those who want to make a fuss do so. The bigger the fuss, the better.”
Xiao Mi and the makeup artist, who was doing Xia Yangyang’s makeup, were both taken aback.
Based on Xia Yangyang’s usual character, she would never say something like this.
Perhaps she truly felt deeply wronged.
Even a rabbit, when cornered, will fight.
Of course, it could also be because all the rumors now were about Shen Manbing being Gu Qichen’s ex-lover, and Xia Yangyang being the third wheel.
Maybe she was just pushed to the limit.
However, Xiao Mi was very worried. Although Xia Yangyang’s popularity had soared due to “Cinderella’s Magical Fate”, competing with a top star was like egging a stone.
Xia Yangyang asked Xiao Mi, “Have the arrangements for the SH Film Festival been made?”
As if suddenly regaining her senses, Xiao Mi excitedly said, “Sister Yangyang, I have a piece of good news and a piece of bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”
Xia Yangyang replied, “The good news.”
Xiao Mi proudly announced, “The good news is that you have been nominated for Best Actress at the SH Film Festival for your role in ‘Cinderella’s Magical Fate’. This is unprecedented in the history of SH. Sister Yangyang, you’ve just debuted and already you’ve been nominated for the most prestigious film festival in the country. This would make countless female celebrities green with envy.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Yangyang remained calm, “What’s the bad news?”
Xiao Mi’s face suddenly became a little sad. “The bad news is Shen Manbing is also nominated. She has been the reigning Best Actress at the SH Film Festival for three years. So, it’s likely that things won’t be different this time. But Sister Yangyang, just being nominated is an incredible achievement. You shouldn’t worry too much about the result.”
After hearing this, Xia Yangyang became thoughtful.
Not long after, Zhou Fei suddenly came over. “Yangyang, the boss is asking for you in his office.”
Xia Yangyang agreed and luckily her makeup was already done.
She was scheduled for a magazine cover shoot this morning.
Fortunately, the shooting location was in the photography studio of the Time Building, so there was no hurry with the time.
Xia Yangyang went to Shen Shichuan’s office.
Just as Xia Yangyang entered, Shen Shichuan put down the newspaper he was reading, “You’re here?”
Xia Yangyang walked over, “Did you need something?”
“I wanted to ask your opinion on something. QN Jewelry wants you to be their spokesperson. The contract would be for a year. Would you consider it?”
“QN Jewelry, such a big brand, why would they choose me?”
Shen Shichuan laughed, “They’ve launched a new product, aimed primarily at young women. They have seen your Cinderella and feel that you are a perfect fit.”
Xia Yangyang replied, “But I haven’t planned on furthering my career in the entertainment industry.”
“I understand, you’ve never wanted to sign a contract. I understand where you’re coming from. You’re not obligated. However, the endorsement fee is close to eight figures. It’s a bit of a shame to just let it go.”
