Chapter 397: Bullying the Cute Cats is Prohibited 44
The entrance was already crowded with entertainment reporters, who approached with their cameras and long guns. Jin Lai and the bodyguards had to work very hard to get Ming Nan and Ning Jue in.
When they entered, Jin Lai asked Ming Nan, "Are you nervous?"
It was Mingnan's first time attending an awards ceremony. If she said she wasn't nervous, she would be lying. She took a deep breath, glanced at the people around her and said, "I'm nervous, but I'll get used to it."
Ning Jue's eyes behind the glasses were as gentle as ever. He said in a voice that only the three of them could hear: "That's right, our Nan Nan will definitely become a regular at major award ceremonies in the future."
As soon as they entered, they saw Director Zhao and his group, and Director Zhao immediately waved to them.
The crew of "The Night of Slaughter" sat together, with Director Zhao sitting in the middle. There was an empty seat on each side of him, which was just right for Mingnan and Ning Jue.
Jin Lai felt relieved when he saw this. With Director Zhao blocking the way, the two of them shouldn't exchange glances anymore... right?
As it turned out, he had overestimated the role of Director Zhao.
The award ceremony proceeded in order, and awards were given out one by one, with some people happy and some worried.
With its excellent plot and beautiful shots, "The Night of Slaughter" won two major awards at the Star Awards, "Outstanding TV Series" and "Outstanding Director".
A clip from "The Night of Slaughter" appeared on the big screen. The moment the music started, Director Zhao's eyes became red.
When the host called out the name "Lun Ye", Director Zhao stood up and hugged people left and right.
Mingnan was also very happy.
Even if she didn't win the award tonight, she would have no regrets.
When she is happy, she can't help but want to share it with her closest people.
Ning Jue is naturally the same.
So their eyes accidentally stuck together.
As luck would have it, the director cut to this point and gave a close-up of the two of them.
Jin Lai: "..."
His eyes went dark and he quickly pinched his Ren Zhong point.
Fortunately, Director Zhao walked between the two of them and interrupted their eye contact.
After going on stage, Director Zhao gave a speech and thanked everyone in the crew before leaving the stage.
Next, the Stellar Awards for "Best Actress" and "Best Actor" were announced.
The director didn't know if it was intentional or not, but the camera swept across Ning Jue and Ming Nan's faces and gave them close-ups.
Mingnan tilted his head slightly and smiled at the camera, calmly and indifferently, as if he didn't care at all.
Actually——
[Master, let's have a discussion. Can you check if the name on their hand card is me? Let's take a look and talk quietly.]
205: [No, the system does not provide this kind of cheating service. ]
Mingnan: [How can this be called cheating? I just wanted to see the results in advance.]
205: [What's the point of knowing it in advance? It's only fun to reveal it at the last minute, hehe~]
Ming Nan: [……]
She quietly clenched her hands and held her breath, waiting for the host to slowly read out the name of the best actor.
It’s not Ning Jue, but another veteran actor.
But if you think about it, Ning Jue just won the award last year, so it’s time to give others a chance.
Moreover, although the male lead in "Slaughter Night" is also outstanding, he is far less outstanding than the female lead.
So Ning Jue was mentally prepared and did not feel disappointed at this moment.
The next Best Actress award is the highlight.
After the Best Actor received his award and stepped down from the stage, the entire audience fell silent, waiting with bated breath for the Best Actress name to be announced.
When this moment really came, Mingnan calmed down.
Now that things have come to this, there is no point in getting nervous.
She listened to the host trying to liven up the atmosphere and watched clips from the past year's popular TV series on the big screen, her mind filled with her days and nights on the set.
She noticed someone looking at her. It was Ning Jue.
Is he nervous about himself too?
Mingnan couldn't help but want to laugh. This guy didn't react at all when he didn't win the award, but now he was worried about her.
Finally, the atmosphere became lively and the mix-cut on the big screen ended.
The host whetted everyone's appetite, and finally opened the card in his hand and read out her name word by word -
"The winners of our 30th Star Awards for Best Actress are Ming and Nan! Congratulations!"
"Congratulations Mingnan!"
Everyone in the hall was excited and applauded loudly.
Director Zhao stood up and said something with a smile.
Ning Jue also stood up and applauded Ming Nan, his eyes filled with satisfaction and forbearance.
Mingnan's mind was blank and his ears were filled with buzzing sounds, as if there was a layer of water film between them and he could not hear anything clearly.
At that moment she felt like her soul had left her body, and only a body was left standing there, acting on instinct.
Director Zhao wanted to hug her, but Ning Jue came over and got there first. He hugged Mingnan, patted her on the back, and whispered in her ear, "Congratulations, my best actress. All the stars shine for you tonight."
At that moment her soul was pulled back to the noisy world.
Joy and emotion suddenly surged into her heart, making her a little overwhelmed.
Ning Jue had already let her go at the right time.
Director Zhao immediately hugged him and said, "Congratulations, our crew has had a great harvest! Hahahaha——"
Ning Jue coughed lightly and reminded, "You still have to go on stage to receive the award, stop hugging me."
"Oh, yes, yes." Director Zhao quickly let go of Mingnan, "Go now."
Mingnan nodded, holding up the hem of her dress and walking onto the stage step by step.
She took the heavy trophy from the host, turned to face the faces in the audience, some unfamiliar and some familiar, with her heart pounding.
She had a thousand things to say before going on stage, but when she really stood on this shining stage with all the lights on her, she had nothing to say.
She thanked everyone in the crew, and also thanked Su Qing and Ning Jue, as well as Jin Lai and Mu Jing, for their support and care.
She bowed deeply, stood up and said, "Finally, I want to thank myself for making my efforts pay off. Thank you."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she held up the trophy in her hand high.
In my heart, I said to the original owner: [I helped you realize your wish.]
[I will continue to climb higher mountains and take you to see more scenery. ]
There was warm applause from the audience again.
Tonight, they witnessed together the rise of a bright new star.
……
What Jin Lai was most worried about finally happened.
After the award ceremony, a group of sharp-eyed netizens cut together the clips of Mingnan and Ningjue looking at each other, accompanied by ambiguous music and special effects, which was extremely tense.
Especially the hugging part, the comments were all filled with comments.
Even Ning Jue and Ming Nan's relationship became a hot topic.
However, the real owner did not respond, and the matter ended up in nothing.
Jin Lai asked Ning Jue when he planned to make it public, and he bought some quick-acting heart pills to prepare.
Ning Jue thought about it seriously and said, "Don't worry about making it public yet, and don't buy the heart pills. Buy me some gifts first."
"Why? You want to bribe me?"
Jin Lai was about to say that he would not fall for it, but Ning Jue said the next second: "Bribe my parents. I will take Nan Nan to meet them."
Jin Lai: “???”
