Chapter 124 - The Winners II
The venue turned silent. The host asked curiously, "How did she make you feel embarrassed?"
Zhu Sheng shook his head and smiled. He couldn't help but admire Liang Zixuan when he said, "She asked me at the time, Director Zhu, did you look down on people like me or my music?"
"Hahaha …" The audience roared with laughter.
Zhu Sheng smiled helplessly and said, "I'm stunned. I didn't think this little girl dared to say that to me. I thought at the time, well, see how you talk, I want to see your music. Then I made her write a song for me on the spot and showed her a photo of Qin Yu. In the end, this little girl really managed to write it in half an hour. It was the main song from Qin Yu's album, which was also the theme song 'Girl Of The Rose'."
He specifically emphasized, "She only took half an hour!"
The crowd went into an uproar, and even the host said in astonishment, "She wrote such a pleasant song for just half an hour?"
Zhu Sheng nodded. "Yes! At the time, I felt that this little girl had a bright future and was a rare talent in our music industry. I was really afraid that my arrogant actions would scare this little girl, so I signed her on the spot!"
There was laughter again.
Zhu Sheng finally put down the microphone and handed the trophy to Liang Zixuan. "Zixuan, congratulations. I hope you can work harder and get more awards in the future."
Liang Zixuan bowed deeply to him and accepted the trophy from him.
He then handed the microphone to her.
Liang Zixuan held the microphone and took a deep breath. After her gaze swept across the hall, it finally landed on Han Yuanjun's face.
She smiled and said, "Thank you, Director Su Zhengxiang for giving this opportunity to me. Thank you to Qin Yu for introducing me to him. Thank you to the entire crew for your cooperation. I am honored and happy to work with all of you."
After she finished her pleasantries, Liang Zixuan also became naughty. She turned around and glanced at Zhu Sheng. "There is a phrase in the ancient saying, "Horses with thousands of miles are common but bole is not a common occurrence" ¹, and my real Bole is not Director Zhu."
Zhu Sheng was stunned for a moment. He looked at Liang Zixuan in disbelief. "It isn't me?"
The host also smiled and asked, "If it's not Director Zhu, then who is it?"
Liang Zixuan held the microphone, pursed her lip, and laughed softly. "It's Han Group Media's President, Mr. Han Yuanjun."
When these words were spoken, the entire venue instantly quieted down.
Countless pairs of eyes looked at Liang Zixuan and then at Han Yuanjun, guessing what had happened between them.
From the rumors and Han Yuanjun's attitude today, it seemed that he really took care of Liang Zixuan very well. Furthermore, he had treated her in such a way that would make people jealous.
"Initially, I thought fate would once again bury me, but I didn't think that he would appear in front of me and say to me, "Liang Zixuan, you are very talented. I believe you will definitely be able to win. Come to the Han Group, I guarantee that you will be able to obtain everything you want very soon." And then, he arranged for me to attend the Han Group's interview."
"I thank him for his appreciation, for his trust, and thank you to all the colleagues who had helped me. Han Group Media is like my home, giving me a sense of security and belonging, so today's award not only belongs to me but also belongs to our Music Department. This award belongs to the whole Han Group."
Liang Zixuan bowed deeply towards Han Yuanjun as she finished her sentence.
There were a lot of Han Group's employees under the stage, whether they were from the Music Department or not, all applauding her.
Jiang Ning was so jealous that her eyes turned red. Her fingernails dug into her palms so hard, and her lips were nearly bleeding because of the hard biting.
Liang Zixuan obtaining this award meant that she had to leave the company and that she had to leave the music industry forever!
All the hardships she had gone through for the past twenty years had all ended up in Liang Zixuan's hands.
It wasn't just Jiang Ning, who had an ugly expression, but Wei Guowei and Wei Xiaoqing as well.
Wei Guowei was so angry that his eyes almost popped out when he asked Wei Xiaoqing, "Is there no one in the music industry anymore? How could Liang Zixuan get an award?"
Wei Xiaoqing gritted her teeth in hatred. At this point, she suddenly understood why Han Yuanjun asked the host to send an invitation to them.
Han Yuanjun deliberately made them come here so that they could personally witness Liang Zixuan getting the award. He wanted them to be jealous, repentant, and ashamed.
And boy of boy, she did feel all of those feelings.
She felt that everything Liang Zixuan had owned belonged to her only.
This is included now. It should be her getting the award on stage instead of Liang Zixuan.
Liang Zixuan was a bitch. She ruined her (Wei Xiaoqing) music career, and she had also ruined her film career. And to add to that, Liang Zixuan still stood on stage and received the award!
Why?!
Liang Zixuan came down from the stage with a trophy in her hand. As she passed Han Yuanjun, she deliberately smiled at him.
Han Yuanjun opened his mouth and said one word, "Naughty."
When Liang Zixuan returned and saw that Qin Yu was no longer there, she asked curiously, "Where is Qin Yu?"
Su Zhengxiang told her, "She's going to perform on stage in a few moments and go to get ready."
"Oh!" Liang Zixuan nodded.
After a few more small awards, an exciting moment finally came. Next was the Best Director Award.
There were Su Zhengxiang, Fan Xiaobo, and other directors on the big screen. Su Zhengxiang was not nervous at all as he smiled and looked towards the camera.
Finally, Su Zhengxiang's face was enlarged on the big screen. "The winner of the award for the Best Director goes to….Su Zhengxiang!"
This was the first time Su Zhengxiang had won an award in the many years he had been in the Entertainment Industry.
It wasn't because he was incompetent, but because he had always been making movies about youth. The movies from before might have had a bad theme, or perhaps for some other reason, but Su Zhengxiang had never won a prize.
This time, he finally got his wish.
Liang Zixuan and Goo Shengli immediately stood up to congratulate him.
The winner of this award will become a highly respected director. When Su Zhengxiang received the award, he asked curiously, "Why don't I feel nervous at all tonight? After Liang Zixuan received the award, I wasn't nervous at all."
The host was startled and asked in surprise, "Why is that?"
Su Zhengxiang laughed. "This thing is a bit of a secret, so it's hard to explain in detail. But all I can say is, our whole production team hopes that Liang Zixuan wins the award. It doesn't matter whether we win it or not."
