Sweetest Top Actress in My Home

Chapter 388: Who is He to Jiang Yuning Anyway?

“I am on very good terms with two of the judges who will be judging the contest,” Shen Yichen told Vera. “I believe that no matter what it is, there will definitely be a fair competition this year.”

Although none of the actors under Guangying Media had made it into the running for the title of the film emperor this year, there were still some actors who had a close relationship with Guangying Media, such as Song Chenxing and Xiao Chennan, who were running for the award. Therefore, Shen Yichen felt that it was definitely worth helping them fight for a fair chance to win the award.

“But…hasn’t the winner of the film emperor title already been decided?”

This was an awards ceremony after all.

“The only thing that you have to worry about right now is Jiang Yuning. Make sure that everything runs smoothly for her. You don’t have to worry about anything else, just trust me.” Shen Yichen assured Vera.

How did Lin Kaiyan manage to win the best actor award two years consecutively? Was it really because of his excellent acting skills? No one could deny that he deserved the award when he really did a good job in one of his dramas two years ago, but what about last year? In fact, many people in the entertainment industry knew that Lin Kaiyan had only won the award last year because of a backdoor deal between his agency and the judges.

If any artiste from Guangying Media had been nominated for the award in the past two years, would Lin Kaiyan still be able to steal the limelight then?

This time, he actually dared to publicly despise and humiliate Jiang Yuning? Did Lin Kaiyan really think that Guangying Media was dead?

Yes, he could look down on other people’s acting skills but he should have just kept it to himself. That would not have been a problem then. However, since Lin Kaiyan chose to speak up and publicize this matter, then it was a big problem!

…

Jiang Yuning arrived at the airport at Luo City at seven o’clock in the morning on the day of the Golden Shadow Awards ceremony. The airport was crowded with Ginger Candies who had come to greet Jiang Yuning as usual.

As the production crew and staff of <Nameless Orphan> leaked out the news that Jiang Yuning was afraid of the cold, the Ginger Candies brought a lot of gifts that could help her to keep warm this time. They gave her beanies, scarves, sweaters, and all sort of heating items. When Jiang Yuning finally walked out of the airport, her neck was covered with blue, green, red, yellow, and other colorful scarves!

Vera could not stop herself from laughing out loud as soon as she saw Jiang Yuning. “I know that the Ginger Candies truly care about you but there is something I have to ask you. What is that green hat doing in your hand? And is that an electric heating blanket…”

“No! This is a heated cushion!” Jiang Yuning replied as she snatched the cushion back from Vera’s hand. “This is a good item. I will not have to feel cold after filming my scenes anymore!”

Vera looked at Jiang Yuning with a helpless expression on her face.

“Moreover, I think that this hat is quite pretty anyway,” Jiang Yuning replied as she looked at the green hat before placing it on her head.

“What are you doing? I’m warning you not to wear it out of the car later! Otherwise, you will definitely be all over the hot search again. Besides that, the media will definitely assume that you have broken up with someone, with that being the reason why you are wearing a green hat!”

When Jiang Yuning thought about it, she realized that Vera was right and she had no choice but to take the green hat off.

“We will go and shoot your eye cream advertisement now. After that, we will head back to the company in the afternoon so that the makeup artist can apply your makeup for you. You will be walking the red carpet with Yao Fan and Song Chenxing tonight,” Vera quickly briefed Jiang Yuning on her schedule for the day. “Anyway, did you read all the comments that were posted on the Internet about you and Lin Kaiyan? In my opinion, you do not have to greet him or give him any face when you see him tonight.”

“I got it. Do you really think that I would give face to him? Why would I do that?”

Vera thought about it for a moment and felt relieved immediately.

Jiang Yuning had always been known as someone who would fight for justice. No matter how difficult the situation, she would never let anyone off so easily if they were at fault in the first place.

How could a loss be counted as a blessing? Losing would only cause tightness of the chest, shortness of breath, acne, endocrine disorders, dysmenorrhea, cancer, and who knows what else! Whoever who wanted to suffer losses could go suffer on their own!

After getting exposed by the fans of the book <Yan Huasu>, it seemed as though the fans of the book had taken a sudden liking for Jiang Yuning instead. Now, it felt as though they were all on Jiang Yuning’s side and if Lin Kaiyan despised and looked down on Jiang Yuning, then this was equivalent to him looking down on <Yan Huasu>. This inadvertently meant that he looked down on Hou Da and that he despised the fans of the book too!

It was really not that easy to deal with these fans.

They continued ridiculing Lin Kaiyan one after another.

[Please get a younger and better-looking actor to play the role of the first male lead in <Yan Huasu>! I don’t think that Lin Kaiyan is suitable for the role anyway. He is already old and the wrinkles on his face are getting more and more obvious.]

[If I were Jiang Yuning, I would not want to play the love interest of such an old man when we are not even lacking in young and handsome actors nowadays.]

[Trust me when I say that the biggest mistake in Lin Kaiyan’s life would be letting go of the opportunity to star as the first male lead of <Yan Huasu>.]

[Hou Da! Hou Da! I can recommend a young and super handsome male actor to you. Could you please not appoint another old man as the first male lead of the drama? I really can’t bring myself to watch a young and old couple.]

After seeing all these comments online, Lin Kaiyan’s agency was very enraged.

Wasn’t it normal for the winner of the film emperor and the best actor award for two consecutive years to look down on a young artiste who had nothing to her name? That was a very common thing. So, why were the fans of the book getting so annoyed?

Lin Kaiyan’s agency strongly believed that even if Jiang Yuning continued working hard and struggling for another ten years, she would still not be able to achieve whatever accomplishments that Lin Kaiyan had already earned for himself.

Moreover, they seriously disliked Jiang Yuning’s mediocre acting skills. So, why weren’t they allowed to judge her?

As a result of the commotion on the Internet, Lin Kaiyan and Jiang Yuning became enemies even though they have never met one another before.

It would already be the awards ceremony later that evening. At this time, Lin Kaiyan’s team and agency were busy making extra efforts to ensure that Lin Kaiyan would be able to win the title of the film emperor once again without encountering any obstacles along the way. Lin Kaiyan felt that someone as insignificant as Jiang Yuning was not worth his time at all.

“Brother Yan, you will be walking the red carpet with Sister Hua tonight.”

Lin Kaiyan was ready to leave for the awards ceremony at any time and he was dressed in a dark blue haute couture suit. He was sitting in the lounge as he read his drama script and he nodded his head as his agent reminded him of the arrangements for the red carpet tonight.

He had only agreed to walk the red carpet with Sister Hua because she was also a hot candidate running for the top actress award and she was one of Yao Fan’s strongest competitors.

Only such a female artiste was worthy enough to stand beside him.

“If you run into Jiang Yuning later tonight…”

“What? Do you want me to apologize to her if I see her tonight?” Lin Kaiyan sneered.

“How is that even possible? I am just afraid that you would be upset because she is trying to disrupt your life.”

“If I see her, I will just ignore her completely,” Lin Kaiyan replied as he closed his eyes. Although he was not the one who had made the statement that he felt Jiang Yuning was worthless and lacked any acting skills, his actions seemed to support the statement released by his agency.

In fact, Lin Kaiyan knew that Jiang Yuning did have some talents and abilities of her own but he felt disgusted by her because it seemed as though she was always up to no good.

He liked women who were peaceful and quiet, not the kind of women who were always on the hot search because of all the scandals surrounding them.

He wanted the netizens and the public to know that he did not like Jiang Yuning at all. What was wrong about that?

Nothing.

Who was he to Jiang Yuning anyway?

…

At six o’clock in the evening, the red carpet event for the Golden Shadow Awards ceremony began. At this time, many of the actors and actresses started arriving at the event.

Jiang Yuning was waiting in the car together with Yao Fan and Song Chenxing.

Tonight, Jiang Yuning was dressed in an apricot-colored deep V-neckline dress that had transparent shoulder straps and was inlaid with glittering sequins all over the dress. She looked like an immortal goddess.

On the other hand, Yao Fan was wearing a dark red dress that had a slopping shoulder design and the dress embraced Yao Fan’s good figure perfectly. She looked extremely tall and sexy.

“My little disciple, I heard that you are all over the news again? You are really amazing! I still can’t believe that you can make enemies from all over the entertainment industry,” Yao Fan said as she laughed. After that, she turned around to look at Song Chenxing before she said, “However, I really think that Lin Kaiyan is too cocky and overconfident. Chenxing, make sure that you snag the title of the film emperor tonight and bring home the best actor award!”

“Well, that…would depend entirely on the judges’ decision.”

“You are the true film emperor! Anyone can tell that your acting skills are definitely better than Lin Kaiyan’s!” Yao Fan replied as she glared at Song Chenxing. “Do you know that you would also be protecting our disciple if you win the award?”
