Gu Jingyu said, "Alright. Since you're so self-aware, I won't stand on ceremony with you."
Hearing Gu Jingyu's words, Lin Che glared at him. "How can you be like this? Shouldn't you be encouraging me and telling me that I still have a chance?"
"But Feiran is indeed very capable. I can't be so hypocritical, can I?"
"Get lost. Friendship is a boat that can capsize just like that. I'm not going to talk to you anymore."
Although he said that, Lin Che actually knew that it was impossible for him to win the award today.
The heavyweight awards finally started to be presented.
On the stage, after a round of performances, the host invited the guest presenters to present the Best Actress Award.
Mu Feiran was nominated for a palace drama, while Lin Che was nominated for a modern drama. There was also a spy drama, which was based on a realistic theme. The screen moved on the four of them, and the host's voice echoed in the magnificent hall.
When it came to Mu Feiran, her journey echoed on the screen. From being the fourth female lead, to becoming the queen of conversation, and then to finally proving herself with her acting skills. Mu Feiran had walked steadily all the way to her current position. In fact, it was very admirable.
Next, it was Lin Che's turn. Lin Che's resume was pitifully short. On the screen, an impassioned voice narrated Lin Che's past. From an unknown walk-on to a supporting actress, to a topic of constant discussion, to being named one of the four new starlets. Lin Che used a year to show us what it meant to be an instant hit. We looked forward to more of her works, and we looked forward to seeing her perform even better in the entertainment industry.
Lin Che felt that he was very lucky to have this day. In the past, he would never have thought that he would be able to have this kind of achievement.
Then, it was finally time to announce the results.
"So, the Best Actress Award of this year's Panda TV Festival is …"
"Mu Feiran!"
Sure enough, there was no suspense.
Mu Feiran stood up and walked to the stage with a smile as everyone congratulated her.
Lin Che sat down below, his heart also relaxed a little.
Although he knew that it wouldn't be him, he still felt a little disappointed.
Because if he was nominated, it meant that he still had hope. Now that his hope was gone, he would definitely feel a little disappointed. Lin Che looked at Mu Feiran, who was giving her acceptance speech in a very professional manner. She had already lost count of the number of awards she had won, so she looked very calm and her expression did not change much.
Sitting there, Lin Che wondered when he would be able to achieve what Mu Feiran had achieved, slowly but surely.
She had only just started on this path.
Sometimes, fans didn't mean anything. Being famous for so many years like Mu Feiran was the real deal.
At this moment, Qin Wanwan, who was sitting in front of him, also turned around. She looked at Lin Che and said, "Lin Che, being nominated has already proven your ability. Don't mind it too much. Although you didn't win this time, you can definitely do it next time."
Lin Che smiled, "Thank you for your consolation. It's alright, I already knew that I wouldn't get the award anyway. The most important thing this time is to participate."
"Yeah, I'm already very envious that you were nominated," Qin Wanwan said with a smile.
Many people looked at him as if they were saying that if they knew that Lin Che wasn't capable, they would just be cannon fodder today.
Lin Che was originally in a good mood, but when he saw these gazes, he felt a little depressed.
Whether she won the award or not, it had nothing to do with them.
As if noticing those gazes, Qin Wanwan turned around and continued to comfort him, "Alright, Lin Che, that's how they are. They don't like to help when you are in need and they like to hit you when you are down. Isn't that how the industry works? Don't mind it too much."
Lin Che forced a smile and said, "It's fine, they can just watch it. I think I'm doing pretty well now. It's much better than when I didn't have any films in the beginning."
"Yeah."
On the screen, the awards were still being announced.
After the Best Actor and Best Film awards were announced, the host's high-spirited voice rang out again, "Next up, the highly anticipated online voting for the Most Popular Actor and Actress award is finally going to be announced. A minute ago, the online voting channel was closed. Now, everyone can see our latest data."
"After a month of online voting, hundreds of millions of netizens have finally voted for tonight's King of Fashion."
In the next moment, the data was displayed on the big screen.
Lin Che's data was also displayed, and everyone could clearly see that her name was much higher than everyone else's.
The host turned around and said with a smile, "Congratulations, the winner of this year's King of Fashion, the online voting for the Most Popular Female Lead, is Lin Che!"
Everyone's sympathetic gazes turned around again with a hint of surprise and jealousy. However, the data from the Panda TV Festival couldn't be faked. If it was hers, it was hers.
Gu Jingyu nudged Lin Che. "Why aren't you getting up to receive your award?"
Lin Che was taken aback. Before she could react, she stood up woodenly.
All the attention on Lin Che was focused on the Best Female Lead award. Since she didn't expect to be nominated, she forgot about the online voting.
However, she never thought about it because there were too many nominees. She always felt that she wouldn't get a chance and that she wouldn't have a lot of fans.
Hence, she appeared a little dazed and looked especially funny.
She walked up woodenly and even when she received the award, she was still in disbelief.
Mu Feiran came down after receiving her award. Qin Wanwan looked ahead and said with a smile, "I didn't expect it to be Lin Che. But it makes sense. She's been participating in many shows recently and they're all very eye-catching. She's very likable and has a great variety show effect. Her reviews online are also very high."
Qin Wanwan said, "Yes, Lin Che is very outstanding."
However, Lin Che had never been looked upon favorably by anyone. After all, she came from a poor background and her rise to fame was an accident. She wasn't the type that the company thought highly of, so they never spent a lot of effort to promote her.
However, Qin Wanwan was different. From the moment she debuted, she was the company's focus on grooming her. As soon as she debuted, she released big news that she was the most beautiful woman without makeup and created a lot of hype.
Qin Wanwan's expression froze. She turned around and watched Lin Che come down from the stage. Everyone crowded around her to congratulate her.
Lin Che smiled and responded to them one by one. His hand holding the award was covered in sweat.
It wasn't until she sat down that she regained her senses and said, "Why is it me …"
Gu Jingyu was amused by her expression and went up to pinch her face. "Silly, it's you. It's you. The online voting. How would I know if you're asking why it's you?"
At the banquet after the award ceremony, everyone toasted each other. Lin Che didn't sit for long before he received a call from Gu Jingze.
