After the host finished speaking, Bach, who had presented the Best Newcomer Award to Mu Weiwei, came on stage again.
He took the microphone and said with a teasing smile, "Everyone must be curious. Oh, didn't this annoying guy just go on stage once? Why is he here again?"
Everyone below the stage burst into laughter. The host picked up the microphone on the stage and said something.
"Bach, if you don't get down to business, I am afraid I will kick you off the stage."
Bach raised his hands in surrender and said with a smile.
"Okay, let's get back to business. This award was supposed to be announced by Britney, who stood here last year, but the day before yesterday, she called me and told me that she was going to have a baby and could not come."
Everyone was amused by Bach's look. The atmosphere was so relaxed and joyful that there was no suspense at all.
"A baby?" Bach frowned and sighed. "Last year, when she came here to receive the award, she even said that she was single. Now, she's telling me that she's going to have a child. And the guy who got her pregnant is Robert, the guy who just took the trophy from here."
Below the stage, Robert Durant laughed. He was indeed married to Britney.
Bach teased Robert Durant, who had just won the Best Actor Award, and then said.
"Oh, I almost forgot why I am on stage."
The crowd burst into laughter again. This humorous old man could always make people laugh.
Bach cleared his throat and became a bit more serious.
"I am going to present the Best Actress Award on behalf of Britney, so I need to invite someone to the stage first."
"This person is … the lead actress of this year's Dream of a Long Life 2, Miss Ling Yan."
The moment he finished speaking, the camera and the lights turned to where Ling Yan was.
Ling Yan stood up in a bright red gown and walked slowly to the stage. Her long tail trailed behind her, making her look even more flamboyant.
"Hello, Mr. Bach."
Bach hugged Ling Yan and said.
"It was a pity that I didn't get to see you when you presented the award for Dream of a Long Life. So, knowing that you are here today, I wanted to see you on this stage, in the place where you were awarded the Best Actress Award."
"It's my honor to see you again." Ling Yan smiled gently.
Back then, Dream of a Long Life had won awards at various film festivals, but she had been hospitalized because of her serious illness. All the awards had been collected by the film producers.
Bach looked at her and said without hiding anything.
"Everyone, please allow me to repeat what I said when I gave the award to this legendary movie queen."
At this point, almost everyone was sure that the Best Actress of this year's Lugano Film Festival would definitely be this legendary Movie Queen.
Bach recalled what he had said back then and said the award speech praising her in front of Ling Yan.
Then, he sighed in disappointment.
"Miss Ling Yan's Dream of a Long Life is a beautiful legend, and our Best Female Lead today is also a legend."
Ling Yan slowly raised his chin and chuckled.
This meant that she was tonight's Best Actress Award.
After all, she was the only one who could be called a legendary movie queen in the film industry.
Bach turned to Ling Yan and said.
"Miss Ling Yan, can you hold the trophy for me?"
Ling Yan nodded with a smile and took the trophy from the emcee, unable to hide the smile of victory on her face.
Then, he secretly recalled the speech he had prepared for the award in his heart.
Bach opened the card and announced loudly.
