Chapter 274: Wei Zhiqian Is Good at Everything
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
During the past few years, Yuan Zhengwen’s business had been growing, as was TanYue.
They were doing well. Even without the help from the Tan family, they could spend their days as comfortably as the Tan family had in their earlier days.
She believed that in a few more years, Yuan Zhengwen’s company would definitely catch up to TanYue.
…
The best drama, best director, and other awards which “Legend of Wei and Jin” had been nominated for had not happened yet.
Tan Mo was considered a part of “Legend of Wei and Jin” team.
Therefore, although she had received her award, she couldn’t leave yet.
She had to stay in her seat waiting for the results of the remaining awards.
Tan Mo waited and waited, until it was time for the best male and female leads award to be issued. The best director award was still pending.
Tan Mo could only cover up her yawns and continue to wait.
Before this, Zhang Kangwang had already received the best supporting male actor award.
While the best supporting female actress award was not issued to an actress from “Legend of Wei and Jin”.
It was awarded to an actress with good ratings from a lifestyle drama.
Awards for the soundtrack and costume categories were awarded to “Legend of Wei and Jin” team.
“Legend of Wei and Jin” had not received all the awards, but they had received more than half.
On stage, the announcer was currently opening an envelope.
The best male and female leads award will be announced at the same time.
Below the stage, Yu Yixian’s heartbeat had increased. She almost couldn’t sit still anymore.
Her fingers and palms were cold from anxiety.
After she was nominated, she had arranged to have a meal with the judges.
To keep a low profile, she did not invite them together, but had discreetly met with them separately.
Although she did not manage to meet with all the judges, for those she’d met with, they had implied that it was very likely that she would win the award this time.
Yu Yixian had also analyzed it herself. Regarding the other nominees, they indeed weren’t as competitive as she was.
Whether it was for the results of the drama, or popularity, or aspects such as affinity with an audience…
She was a long distance ahead in all respects.
Of course, she also knows that this is because “Legend of Wei and Jin” did not have a definitive main lead.
Otherwise, it would be really hard to say who the best male and female leads awards would be issued to.
“The best female lead award is awarded to…” the announcer reads on stage.
Yu Yixian is already preparing to face the camera.
She had prepared her emotions ahead of time. Her tears are already in her eye sockets and are ready to fall.
The tip of her nose had started to flush.
“Xu Feifei!” The announcer declared excitedly.
Yu Yixian had stood up at the same time the announcer read the name.
She was about to bow when she saw the two people seated beside her had raised their heads to look at her in shock.
She opened her mouth, seemingly to say something, yet awkwardly could not say a word.
Xu Feifei, who was seated one seat away from her, stood up.
Her hands were covering her mouth, her expression was of disbelief, and tears fell down her face.
The person seated between Yu Yixian and Xu Feifei stood up and hugged Xu Feifei, “Congratulations!”
People from the front, back, left, and right were all shaking Xu Feifei’s hands or hugging her and congratulating her on her award.
Yu Yixian was stunned.
How could it be Xu Feifei?
Who is she?
To think she could be awarded the best female lead award!
Xu Feifei wiped her tears to go on stage. When she passed Yu Yixian, she also hugged her.
Yu Yixian could only pretend that she had stood up because she wanted to congratulate Xu Feifei.
She reluctantly squeezed out a smile, “Congratulations.”
Even so, there were many who had seen that she had stood up first.
Those who witnessed it could guess what was on her mind.
Yu Yixian had thought that she was the recipient of the award.
Could it be that she did not even know how to listen for the name?
Director Liu was also surprised.
Yu Yixian was the most popular choice for the award this time.
Even the media had predicted that she would receive the award.
In the online poll predicting the recipient of the award, Yu Yixian had the leading number of votes.
Even Director Liu felt that the best female lead award was definitely Yu Yixian’s.
Xiao Menghan couldn’t help turning back to glance at Wei Zhiqian.
Before the awards ceremony started, Wei Zhiqian had said that he was curious about the list of the recipients of the awards this time.
Could it be that he had had something to do with this?
Seeing Xiao Menghan look over at him, Wei Zhiqian smiled at her.
Xiao Menghan: “……”
Curse you!
Why are you pretending to be a sheep in wolf’s clothing in front of your own mother?
Seeing Xiao Menghan looking at Wei Zhiqian, Xu Mingzhen and Tan Wenci also looked over curiously.
Could it be that this matter had been affected by Wei Zhiqian?
Although they did not follow this industry closely, since they had received the invitation and decided to attend the awards ceremony, they had paid more attention to it.
They had heard many times that the best female lead award was definitely Yu Yixian’s.
The likelihood of Xu Feifei winning had not been high. It could even be said that it was very low.
They dared to say that among everyone seated here, no one felt that Xu Feifei would win the award.
Could it be that because Yu Yixian had bullied Tan Mo at the red carpet waiting area, Wei Zhiqian had taken revenge on her by sabotaging her award?
They had thought that it was odd that Wei Zhiqian did not say anything regarding the bullying incident.
It turned out that he had made his move.
Wei Zhiqian maintained a smile in response to Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen’s gazes.
Xu Mingzhen: “……”
Everything about Wei Zhiqian is good, especially his ability to pretend.
Xu Mingzhen tilted her head slightly to ask Xiao Menghan, “This was done by Wei Zhiqian?”
“He didn’t inform me, but didn’t he mention earlier that he was curious about the recipient list? But it wasn’t to see if Mo Mo would be receiving the award,” Xiao Menghan lowered her voice and went on, “My guess is that he did do this.”
The pair spoke very softly.
It was not good to publicize such matters.
After all, they interfered with the Tulip Awards.
“Zhiqian really is…” Xu Mingzhen did not finish her sentence and could not control her laughter.
He’d done a great job!
“Uncle, did you do this?” Tan Mo also discreetly leaned over and asked softly.
No matter how soft her voice was, she was not afraid that Wei Zhiqian couldn’t hear her as he has excellent hearing.
Wei Zhiqian didn’t intend to hide his deed and told Tan Mo, “She bullied you. Of course, revenge must be taken, and swiftly. Your uncle is not someone who only knows how to talk…”
Tan Wenci: “……”
He feels that this brat is referring to someone.
Tan Mo’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Wei Zhiqian in awe at his words.
She was not able to snuggle with Wei Zhiqian here and thus could only hold her hands together and salute Wei Zhiqian, “Uncle is good, Uncle is formidable!”
Wei Zhiqian was thoroughly satisfied with Tan Mo’s adoration.
Praise him more!
Tan Wenci: “……”
He suddenly felt that the rewards he’d gotten from admonishing Yu Yixian earlier were gone with the wind.
Finally, they have arrived at the most anticipated segment, the best director award.
With no surprise, the announcer read Director Liu’s name.
Director Liu acted quite proper.
Even though he was very excited, on the surface he appeared calm, showing the composure and poise of a top director.
The hall erupted into applause.
Director Liu was deserving of the award.
