Chapter 864: The Best Lead Actress Award
Five actresses had been nominated for the Best Lead Actress award. They were all young starlets in the industry. Other than Susie, who had just made a fool of herself, there was another highly competent young actress…
Gu Huanhuan didn’t feel confident at all.
Susie had already changed into a new outfit. She was wearing a pantsuit now and looked very stylish. Because of her fashion faux pas earlier, she had decided to go low-key this time.
Susie’s manager also went into damage control mode as soon as she left the red carpet.
Despite the likelihood that everyone knew about her fashion faux pas, Susie still walked into the auditorium with her head held high before she sat down on her assigned seat.
She couldn’t help but smile. After all, the movie she starred in was so popular; there was a high chance that she would win the award.
The nominees all had different expressions on their faces. Clips from their movies played on the big screen as a veteran actor presented the award on stage. He let out a long sigh before he said excitedly, “I wonder who will be the winner of the Best Lead Actress award for the 28th Golden Bear?”
“Let’s turn to the big screen.” The host continued with a smile on his face. As soon as he finished speaking, the image on the big screen behind him froze on a still shot from the movie “Meeting by Chance”. Gu Huanhuan was the winner of the Best Lead Actress award.
The award presenter’s excited voice rang through the auditorium.
“The winner of the 28th Golden Bear Award for Best Lead Actress… Gu Huanhuan.”
“Congratulations.” Gu Huanhuan was still in disbelief when the host’s voice sounded.
The auditorium went silent before a thunderous applause broke out.
Gu Huanhuan’s eyes turned red as she inadvertently covered her mouth with one hand. After the host announced her name again, she slowly stood up.
Her back was straight, her neck fair and slender, and her eyes sparkling. Her petite and fair face was as beautiful as white jade under the spotlight, and her cheeks were pink from excitement. She looked extremely attractive.
Gu Huanhuan collected herself and walked up lightly to the stage, looking a little nervous.
“Congratulations, Huanhuan.” The host congratulated her again on stage with a smile.
“Thank you.” Gu Huanhuan bowed slightly as she took the heavy trophy from the presenter.
She then took the microphone from the host and took a deep breath. Her smile got brighter as she teared up.
Gu Huanhuan’s voice was a little choked when she said, “I didn’t expect to win this award today because the seniors and other nominees were all so outstanding. They are all role models for me. I would like to thank everyone for your support and encouragement. Thank you for liking ‘Meeting by Chance’ and Yun Duo. I thank the ups and downs in making the movie, which shaped me. And finally, a big thank you to the person in my life. Thanks for your encouragement. I love you.”
The applause was thunderous. No one expected Gu Huanhuan to say something so sentimental at the end of her speech.
This was the first time Wen Chi watched TV so patiently. It was also the first time he paid so much attention to an awards ceremony in the entertainment industry. He usually only watched the news.
His girl had won the Best Lead Actress award. His eyes had been locked on the TV screen since Gu Huanhuan was announced as the winner.
He stared at her delicate face with a smile.
Of course, he had also heard her thank you speech. He was very shocked when he heard her confession. She had professed her love for him so publicly at such an important occasion. That would probably make the headlines tomorrow.
However, he also knew Gu Huanhuan’s character. She never liked feigned politeness and was a very direct person. It was also why he liked her.
He wanted nothing but to see her at this moment. He looked at everything he had carefully laid out on the table and felt a surge of excitement in his heart.
