Chapter 493: Award
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Obtaining the title of Goddess of Starlight with a bad reputation was useless to Lu Zhen. It would even make the audience subconsciously associate Lu Zhen with the popular actresses who had won the award before. This was not a good thing.
Lu Zhen and Xi De’s seats were in the middle. The celebrities in this position were all very popular in the entertainment industry.
After Xi De sat down, he could not help but smile. “It’s all thanks to you that I can sit in the middle.”
Lu Zhen blinked and said gently, “Popularity and ability are not completely related. You don’t like hype and only focus on your work. In the entertainment industry, your mentality is more precious.”
Xi De laughed. “No, no, no. I’m not as virtuous as you think. I want to be popular, too. That way, more people will come to watch my movie and more good scripts will come to me. I also enjoy the feeling of being recognized.”
“This is not contradictory. You didn’t lose your direction because of the commotion outside. This is the most important thing,” Lu Zhen said seriously.
Xi De looked like he was surrendering. “You’re really good at praising people. I’m embarrassed. Talking to you really boosted my confidence.”
The atmosphere between the two of them was very harmonious. The camera also captured the scene of the two of them chatting.
Song Jia saw Xi De and Lu Zhen chatting with a smile. Although he knew that there was no ambiguous relationship between the two of them, he still felt depressed. He didn’t have her yet, but he already had a dark and uncontrollable possessiveness.
After the celebrities took their seats, the award ceremony officially began.
After the emcee read the opening remarks, they immediately entered the award ceremony. The reason why he did not drag it out at all was because there were too many awards for Night of Stars.
Performance Actor of the Year, Reputation Actor of the Year, Breakthrough Actor of the Year, New Actor of the Year, Popular Singer of the Year, Musician of the Year, Director of the Year.
There were too many awards for Night of the Stars, which was also one of the topics that netizens complained about.
There were so many awards. As long as the celebrities who attended the gala were not especially unpopular, they could basically win one award. The better ones could even win two or three.
Previously, a netizen had made a spoof video and compared Night of Stars to a Rooster Fighting Competition.
In the chicken competition in the video, every chicken would win an award:
Best Cry Award, Best Egg-laying Award, Best Hen Award, Best Rooster Award, Best Body Award… It was full of mockery.
After the award ceremony began, the entire process was as if someone had pressed the acceleration button. The award was quickly distributed.
In more than an hour, Lu Zhen went on stage four times and won four awards. She did not even know what the award she had won meant. She could only maintain a smile and say something that would not go wrong when she spoke.
The entire award ceremony was rather boring. Lu Zhen actually did not understand why so many netizens paid attention to the Night of Stars every year. Perhaps because there were many celebrities participating, it was more lively. The netizens had always liked to watch the show.
After the small awards were handed out, it was finally time to give out more important awards.
They were the “Movie of the Year”, “Television Series of the Year”, “Actor of the Year”, and “Singer of the Year”.
Before the award ceremony, Lu Zhen suddenly realized that Guan Yun had not gone on stage once during the previous award ceremony. It was impossible for Guan Yun to come to Night of Stars for nothing. The organizers had invited a celebrity of this status, so they would definitely not let her return empty-handed.
Lu Zhen had a bad feeling. It would be fine if Guan Yun could win the next grand prize, but if Guan Yun did not even win the grand prize, then…
Just as Lu Zhen was thinking about this, the emcee read out the name of the singer of the year. ‘Congratulations, Miss Li Ya!’!
It had been a long time since Lu Zhen had seen Li Ya. When she heard that Li Ya had actually won the Best Singer of the Year award, Lu Zhen clapped sincerely from below the stage.
Li Ya went on stage in a neutral white shirt and suit pants. Her hair had
already been cut into a neat short hairstyle that was slightly permed. She looked refreshing and intellectual.
Compared to when she first participated in the competition, Li Ya had matured a lot. She did not look too nervous when she appeared in such a famous entertainment event. She was just a little shy when she gave her acceptance speech.
After Li Ya gave her acceptance speech, she waved in a certain direction with the trophy. Lu Zhen saw Li Ya’s gaze looking in her direction. Lu Zhen knew that Li Ya was greeting her, so she raised her arm in response..
