Chapter 790: Chapter 791: A White Lotus in The Entertainment Industry
Today just happens to be Sunday.
Xia Yangyang went to the TV station early in the morning.
She spent half of the day gaining a thorough understanding of everything about the film festival.
The Golden Deer Film Festival is considered the most authoritative film festival in the country.
Of course, the most attention-grabbing aspect of the festival is the award ceremony in the evening.
Every year, all eyes are on the Golden Deer Award for Best Actress and Best Actor.
Xia Yangyang found out that Shen Manbing was a hot favorite for the Best Actress in the Golden Deer Awards.
However, Zhang Xinyi was also one of the nominees.
Zhang Xinyi had previously acted in an art film, “The road of loneliness”. Although it had few shows at that time, its popularity was phenomenal.
It was also due to that film that she rose to be among the top talented actresses.
Ironically, the guest of honor presenting the Best Actress award, turns out to be Gu Qichen.
Regarding Zhang Xinyi, Gu Qichen did not give further explanations afterwards.
Xia Yangyang had been waiting for an answer, but there wasn’t any.
However, Xia Yangyang knew that if Gu Qichen didn’t mention it, there had to be some compelling reason for it. Though she was curious, she did not press him.
Just as Gu Qichen had never pressured her to explain the identities of Li Zhiqian and Phoenix and the others.
Xia Yangyang gathers her thoughts back and continues to review the data.
She happened to encounter someone familiar.
Chen Yu turns out to be a formidable choice for Best Actor. You must know, Chen Yu had already won the Best Actor award from the Golden Deer twice before.
If he is elected again, he would become an unprecedented uncrowned king in the entertainment industry.
Speaking of which, Xia Yangyang actually misses her old friend.
She wondered if she would get an opportunity to meet him this evening.
At four in the afternoon, Xia Yangyang began to change her clothes, put on makeup, and then set off.
Lin Yuanyuan also went along with her.
Several people were all sitting in one car.
Lin Yuanyuan purposely initiated a discussion with everyone: “Who do you think will win the Best Actress this time?”
Zhu Xiaorong spoke out: “It has to be Sister Bingbing, the first time she acted in a fantasy film, her performance in “Mother of Dragons” was truly astounding. There’s no doubt about her acting skills. I can guarantee that the Best Actress will definitely be Sister Bingbing again.”
“Last year’s Best Actress was also Sister Bingbing, the judges should consider giving newbies some opportunities and space. Besides, who knows how many international awards Sister Bingbing has won, she probably doesn’t care about this Best Actress.”
“There’s the newcomer, Jiang Yu, from “Invincible Sisters”. Her popularity has been on the rise lately, who knows, she might surprisingly win the Best Actress.”
The discussion among the group was lively.
Lin Yuanyuan suddenly said: “I reckon there is a high possibility for Zhang Xinyi, after all, her gold master is Gu Qichen.”
At Lin YuanYuan’s words, everyone in the van fell silent.
Immediately after, everyone started discussing again.
“That Zhang Xinyi was indeed made famous all thanks to Gu Qichen. It’s said that the protagonist of ‘The Road of Loneliness’ was originally not her, but due to Gu Qichen making huge investments and becoming the biggest producer, the role was changed last minute.According to her acting skills, she is good. But she is obviously a white lotus. Everyone knows she’s been a mistress in the entertainment circle, and even attempted suicide when Gu Qichen got engaged. Considering the reputation of the actresses, the judges would not let her be the Best Actress, right?”
“You can’t say for sure, although the Golden Deer Film Festival is known for being fair and impartial, Gu Qichen’s influence is also not to be underestimated. Buying off the judges is not necessarily a difficult matter, so who knows, Zhang Xinyi might indeed have a chance.”
Lin Yuanyuan smiled clearly as she heard everyone discussing about Gu Qichen and Zhang Xinyi without any reservations.
She turned her gaze to Xia Yangyang: “Yangyang, what do you think?”
