Chapter 117: All For Naught?
Translator: Zayn_
No matter how big Shen Xiyan’s incident was, the award ceremony still had to continue.
The finale on the red carpet was Gu Xingchen, who had been ranked first in the domestic rankings for three consecutive years and ranked 21st in the international rankings.
As soon as he appeared, exclamations from the red carpet could be heard.
He had a slender figure and exquisite facial features. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the screen and hit people’s hearts.
It was no wonder that such a person was described by the media as a ‘walking headline’, a’ star born to stand under the camera’.
Most importantly, Gu Xingchen debuted as a child actor and was only 26 years old this year!
Compared to Lin Siya, who was almost 40 years old, his career had just begun. The people around him were all lamenting how amazing Gu Xingchen was. He had reached the top of the domestic entertainment industry at the age of 23… Song Qingyou looked at the man on the big screen, her heart filled with endless ambition.
The ambition to surpass Gu Xingchen and become N0.1.
She would only be 20 years old next year. It might be possible in three years!
Jiang Zhihan looked up and saw Song Qingyou staring at Gu Xingchen. His mind was in a state of chaos.
Reason said, ‘This is none of my business. 1 shouldn’t care.’
Emotions said, ‘I’m not happy!’
After some hesitation, Jiang Zhihan moved his claws before he could decide which one to choose.
He slapped Song Qingyou’s arm and nudged her a few times.
The latter lowered her head. “Are you hungry or do you need to go to the bathroom?”
‘Neither!’
He just wanted to ask, ‘What is more important, Gu Xingchen or your cat?1
‘Wait a minute:
This question seemed to be similar to the conundrum of me and your mother falling into the water at the same time.
As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, Jiang Zhihan instantly fell into self-doubt.
Song Qingyou saw that her cat had entered the ‘silly’ state again, so she poked him with her finger interestedly.
Zhao Yingnan looked at the rare childish side of the person next to her and couldn’t help but laugh.
At this moment, Gu Xingchen had already entered the venue. Most of the people wanted to show their faces in front of him, so they were very attentive when greeting him.
The backstage staff was about to turn off the live broadcast on the screen when Shen Xiyan suddenly appeared on the red carpet!
Everyone was shocked.
Gu Xingchen’s fans were in an uproar.
[What does the organizer mean? Didn’t you say that the finale was our
Xingchen?]
[ Where did this Shen Xiyan come from? We want an explanation!]
Gu Xingchen himself did not change his expression. He smiled and nodded at the people around him before sitting down.
The officials would not stop the awards ceremony for such a small matter.
So after Shen Xiyan came in, Kong Ying and Qin Gu appeared on the stage.
Next, it was the award ceremony.
Any artiste who was ranked in the top 100 would be able to receive a trophy.
This ranking was completely different from the order of the red carpet. Therefore, it was hard to say whether Song Qingyou made it into the top 100. Zhao Yingnan tilted her head slightly, “Qingyou, your ranking was 185 three months ago, right?”
With just one variety show, she had broken into the top 200 from the top 1,000. Song Qingyou, this new star, was still very popular.
“I think you’ll be fine.”
Song Qingyou thanked her lightly, seemingly not paying much attention to the rankings.
On the other hand, Jiang Zhihan’s cat-like eyes were fixed on the host on stage. He couldn’t wait to confirm if his transformation from a cat to a human had anything to do with Song Qingyou’s celebrity ranking.
In addition to them, there were actually many people discussing Song Qingyou’s ranking.
When she heard someone behind her say that Song Qingyou might be able to make it into the top 100, Zhu Jiao felt her heart burn with anger.
She complained to the people around her, “Song Qingyou only has that one TV series, and 1 heard that the numbers are especially good… It can’t be all hype, right?”
“I think that drama is not bad.” Jing Huan’s smile froze.
“I remember Sister Huan was also in the National Day episode of ‘US,’ right?”
Zhu Jiao clicked her tongue. “Song Qingyou’s hype is really amazing. Even Sister Huan’s drama was suppressed.”
Jing Huan smiled but didn’t say anything.
She didn’t know if Song Qingyou was creating hype.
However, Zhu Jiao deliberately said these things in front of her, and she was very unhappy.
In the industry, those who couldn’t control their mouths and were too jealous were destined to not go far.
Seeing that Jing Huan did not refute, Zhu Jiao mistakenly thought that she agreed with what she said.
“Song Qingyou definitely won’t make it into the top 100 this time. I don’t know why, but so many people are saying she has a high chance! I’m afraid I’ve heard too much about it on the Internet!”
Her voice wasn’t soft, and everyone sitting nearby heard her.
At this moment, Kong Ying was reading the 90th winner’s name.
Song Qingyou was indeed not among those ten people.
In the eyes of ordinary people, if she wasn’t in the last ten, then it was even more impossible for her to be in the first ten!
Zhu Jiao glanced at the few people who were discussing just now and said proudly, “Song Qingyou’s drama was so popular, I thought she could make it into the top 100, but turned out it was all for naught-”
Before she could say the words ‘all for naught’, Qin Gu immediately announced, “89th place, Song Qingyou!”
“Please welcome Song Qingyou!”
“Three months ago, Qingyou was ranked 185. In just three months, she has advanced 96 places! She’s a well-deserved supernova among our annual artistes!”
Song Qingyou walked up to the podium.
The big screen was playing the exciting clips of her in Man vs. Wild 3 and The Immortal Demon, as well as the relevant data.
There was also a comment on The Immortal Demon, which said that it had successfully caused a craze for the shooting and broadcasting of domestic Xianxia dramas.
Zhu Jiao shut her mouth unwillingly.
Shen Xiyan clenched her fists, her eyes full of jealousy.
Seeing Song Qingyou easily enter the top 100, even if she herself could enter the top 20, she couldn’t be happy!
On the stage.
Song Qingyou took the trophy.
“Qingyou, do you have anything to say?” Qin Gu asked as usual.
Song Qingyou bowed deeply to the camera. “First of all, 1 want to thank my fans. Thank you.”
She stood up and said, “Secondly, I have to thank my good friends.”
The live broadcast camera quickly swept past Jiang Xuyan, Zhao Yingnan, and the others.
“Finally, I would like to thank the designer of this gown, Ms. Liang Ting.”
“If it weren’t for her, 1 might really have to wear a gunny sack on stage today.” Everyone laughed.
Song Qingyou’s tone sounded like she was joking and was advertising, but in fact, she had other intentions.
Curious people or the media would naturally ask about the gown.
As long as Emil’s breach of promise was made public, no one would be willing to work with Emil on the red carpet in the future.
Because no one wanted to be told that they didn’t have a gown to wear when the awards ceremony was approaching.
Song Qingyou held the trophy in her hand and took a photo as a memento.
This photo was preserved forever and became the first milestone for Song Qingyou to reach the top of the world in the future!
At the same time, Jiang Zhihan looked at the golden glow on her body and finally confirmed his previous guess.
As soon as Song Qingyou came closer, those golden lights flew over spontaneously.
It wasn’t until the awards ceremony ended that Song Qingyou realized her cat was asleep.
“How can you sleep with so much noise?”
“Those who don’t know might think that I’m raising pigs.”
As she spoke, she even poked the cat’s head..
