The host was obviously shocked by Xiwan’s answer and laughed as he said, “Haha, then I wish senior a great victory!” 2
On the other side, her fans were already shouting excitedly, “Xiwan, come on, you can do it!” 2
“Xiwan, I love you!” 2
The screams came from outside the venue again and again. Xiwan also replied to her fans on the other side: “I love you guys too!” 2
In an instant, the atmosphere among the audience reached its highest point. 2
By winning the Golden Globe Awards for best actress and becoming the first Chinese lead to win that coveted golden statuette, Xiwan had really given the Chinese people a lot of face. Her fanbase was like a snowball rolling down a hill, growing bigger and bigger. Many of Xiwan’s newer fans gradually became die-hard fans, adding to her already impressive number of fans. 2
As the crowd watched on, Zheng Mingri and Xiwan entered the hall. The lights in the hall were extremely bright, and compared to the flashing lights outside, the environment here made them feel much more comfortable. 2
The staff quickly appeared in front of the two of them. With their guidance, they moved to their own seating area, the second row of golden seats. 2
Xiwan’s seat was in the best female lead candidate area on the left, and there were already three familiar faces there. Zheng Mingri was in the best male lead candidate area on the right, and there were already four familiar faces there. 2
Xiwan smiled at them, and they waved back at Xiwan. 2
Zheng Mingri and Xiwan stood in the middle of the aisle. Zheng Mingri hugged Jiang Xiwan and said very, very softly: “You can do it, the youngest Grand Slam Best Actress.” 2
Jiang Xiwan smiled and pushed Zheng Mingri away. “Tsk tsk, don’t do that. Your girlfriend is also on the shortlist. Although she didn’t show up today, be careful if she gets jealous when she finds out.” 2
Zheng Mingri elegantly brushed his long hair and replied very confidently, “She won’t.” 2
“Hmph, I’ll tell her to keep an eye on you.” 2
“You’re really irritating!” Zheng Mingri snorted and then said, “I’ll go over there.” As he said that, he walked towards the best actor candidate area. 2
Xiwan also walked towards her seat. 2
On the other side of the room, one of the other best actress candidates, Zhang Zhiyi, waved at Xiwan. 2
Because there were five nominees for best actress at the Golden Age Awards, there were five seats in this area. Xiwan was arranged in the middle, and there was an empty seat beside her with the name Su Nuanyu on it. However, she was still overseas filming a music video for her new album and hadn’t been able to rush over. 2
Su Nuanyu was the girlfriend of Zheng Mingri that Xiwan had mentioned just now, and also Xiwan’s best friend. The two of them were high school classmates. After high school, they had entered the same university and studied in the same department. Their relationship could not be more solid. After all, Xiwan had been the one who set up the relationship between Zheng Mingri and Su Nuanyu. 2
As soon as they sat down, Zhang Zhiyi, who was sitting on the side, came over with a smile. “Xiwan, are you and Zheng Mingri a couple?” 2
Su Nuanyu and Zheng Mingri’s relationship was an underground one. Other than their managers’ assistants, even their ordinary friends were kept in the dark, let alone these unacquainted artists. 2
Jiang Xiwan had never liked to talk too much, but she didn’t show it on her face. Her voice was a little cold. “No.” 2
Zhang Zhiyi bit her lip. Seeing that Xiwan was sitting upright and didn’t seem to look at her, she wasn’t convinced, but when she thought of Jiang Xiwan’s status and the disdain in her eyes of the other best actress candidates, she was very understanding. She smiled even more and her voice became clearer. “Aiya, what a pity. You two are a really good match. I’ve seen the film that you two starred in. I’ve become a fan of you two as a couple.” 2
Because Xiwan and Zheng Mingri had collaborated on quite a number of movies and television shows, they were thought of as the ideal couple. Countless fans hoped that the two of them could be together in real life, so whenever the two of them worked together, fans would always become excited, and the various media outlets would all look for anything interesting to report on. From time to time, they would follow the two of them in an attempt to capture something. 2
“Oh.” Xiwan nodded. “Thank you for liking it.” After she replied, she looked at the opening dance being performed on the stage and ignored Zhang Zhiyi’s pretentious expression. 2
Zhang Zhiyi was not happy in her heart. She thought to herself, “What are you being so arrogant for? Sooner or later, you will fall from your lofty heights.” Then, she started to whisper to other artists by her. 2
After the opening dance, four famous hosts from the industry appeared in front of everyone. These hosts were quite powerful. There were two male hosts, and one of them was from the provincial television station, known as Master Hua. The other was Master Du, who was the provincial television station’s main host. He was erudite and knowledgeable, and his ability to adapt to situations on the spot was second to none. There were two female hosts. One of them was one of Halo Media’s seniors, Huang Jiao. However, Huang Jiao was mostly famous for her breasts… Despite that, her hosting skills were not to be underestimated. The other was the head of Central TV, Hu Yi. Although she had a lot of support behind her, her capabilities were impressive to have climbed from a local station to her current position. 2
“Hello, everyone. Welcome to the 2015 Golden Age Award Ceremony,” the four hosts said in unison. 2
