Chapter 491: Chapter 491
[Xi Bao is definitely a fairy, shining so brightly tonight.]
[Qiao Xi sweeps the Warner Film Festival red carpet with her stunning looks!]
[Such amazing raw photos! Qiao Xi’s aura has become so powerful.]
[How can someone be this beautiful? What window did God actually close on her?]
[And your chat window.]
[Are there any more photos? These are not enough! Post more, quickly!]
Qiao Xi and the others had already walked down the red carpet and settled into their seats.
They were among the later arrivals, and the hall was already filled with many stars.
This wasn’t in their home country, and looking around, Qiao Xi saw mostly unfamiliar faces, though a few international superstars were quite eye-catching.
Many photos of Qiao Xi had spread online; she was considered a top beauty of Hua Country, her face having ranked among the top three most beautiful faces in the world for several years.
The international internet also highly recognized Qiao Xi’s beauty.
So when she entered the venue, those looks of envy, jealousy, and amazement all fell upon her face.
As the most beautiful actress of the night, Qiao Xi was truly deserving.
Her photos from tonight spread both at home and abroad.
Qiao Xi was also trending in several spots on the domestic hot search.
The more prominent a person becomes, the more annoying pests, like trolls, swarm in.
[Qiao Xi always just markets her beauty; can’t she find something else to market?]
[Qiao Xi: Except for her face, utterly useless.]
[Marketing beauty too much is an attempt to divert attention from not winning an award tonight, right?]
[I’m just waiting to see Qiao Xi make a fool of herself!]
No matter what people on the internet were saying, Qiao Xi, after getting her phone from Bei Bei, had quietly opened a game app and paid no mind to the wild talk online.
After all, regardless of whether she won an award tonight or not, those netizens who disliked her would continue to dislike her.
Even if she performed exceptionally well, those who hated her wouldn’t start to like her because of it.
So there was no point in arguing with those trolls.
Just a waste of time.
Of course, Qiao Xi had no expectations of winning an award either.
The movie was also nominated for Best Film, and Qiao Xi actually hoped the film would win, but she was less concerned for herself.
When the camera panned over them, everyone saw their three calm faces.
[Yo, are those folks so calm because they’re sure they’ll win?]
[Is there some sort of scandal behind the Warner International Film Festival?]
[If Qiao Xi with her lousy acting wins an award tonight, it really would be a slap in the face.]
[There’s only a Best Actress award, no Best Actor award, really feel sorry for Xu Anfeng.]
[The award hasn’t fallen into Qiao Xi’s hands yet! Best Actress is not her, not her!]
[Xu Anfeng: Don’t @ me, thank you.]
[Really smoggy vibes, if they are not calm, do they have to cry???]
[Did Qiao Xi provoke or offend you, that you need to bash her ? Trolls, shut your mouths! I can smell the stench through the screen!]
As long as celebrities stay in the limelight, trolls will forever exist.
Qiao Xi’s rivals also took the opportunity to bash her, singing doom and blackening her wherever possible.
Even generating falsehoods.
Xu Anfeng’s fans were not just about online clout, but his team also always guided the fans not to compete in online wars.
time with the Best Actress nomination not including Xu Anfeng.
Xu Anfeng said that getting the Best Actor award nationally was recognition enough for him, and he would strive harder in the future, advising his fans not to focus solely on one international film festival.
And that he and ’Snowball’ complemented each other, that the film’s success couldn’t be separated from the entire crew’s efforts, and he didn’t want external factors to influence the film.
’Snowball’ was excellent, undeniable.
Xu Anfeng focused on the work, he really showed his capabilities in ’Snowball’, and he didn’t want fans to create issues over the film.
So those fans who pitied Xu Anfeng were just trolls making rash jumps.
Qiao Xi’s fans and Xu Anfeng’s fans were very harmonious.
The two below the stage were also very harmonious.
"What game are you playing?"
Xu Anfeng, seeing Qiao Xi with her head down playing on her phone, glanced and asked in a quiet voice.
Qiao Xi looked up at him and smiled briefly, "Ah... Candy Crush."
He barely played any games.
"Just..." Qiao Xi paused, "passing the time."
Xu Anfeng also downloaded the game to try.
Gradually getting hooked.
Director Qian watched the two of them, feeling rather speechless: "Playing games at the film festival, that would be just you two."
These two young people really were more seated than even he was. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on NovᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt
Apparently, diverting attention was the best way to deal with anxiety.
Qiao Xi with a hint of laughter in her eyes: "Director Qian, want to join? It’s quite fun."
Director Qian: "...Then I’ll play for a bit."
It seemed he had no reason to refuse.
Give him something to do.
Immersed in Candy Crush, the three of them seemed quite relaxed.
Until the Best Actress award was announced.
Qiao Xi missed out on Best Actress; ’Snowball’ missed out on Best Picture.
And at that moment, the camera quite subtly swept over Qiao Xi’s face.
After a two-second pause, the camera then shifted to the actress from D country who won Best Actress tonight.
Representing Hua Country’s actresses, every little facial expression of Qiao Xi was captured by the camera.
The trolls all wanted to see Qiao Xi upset, angry, or breaking down, but unfortunately, they saw none of that.
They were massively disappointed!
The trolls were more disappointed than the awardless Qiao Xi.
After all, they just wanted to have some fun at her expense.
Not winning an award was expected by Qiao Xi.
She remained indifferent, so throughout the event, she managed her expressions very well, clapping in tribute as the actress went on stage to receive the award.
Although Qiao Xi handled it well, she still couldn’t avoid being ridiculed.
Despite both Hua Country’s nominated films not winning any awards, it was Qiao Xi who was harshly criticized.
[Qiao Xi can only win domestic awards.]
[Shouldn’t have had any expectations for her.]
[Qiao Xi missed out on the international Movie Queen, and the camera even swept her face before moving to the winner, I felt embarrassed for her.]
[Really, so embarrassing.]
[Such people should just stay out of the film industry; taking up so many resources, what trash films did they produce?]
[Those who hyped Qiao Xi winning an award should come out now! Your goddess has embarrassed herself internationally!]
[#Qiao Xi Misses International Movie Queen# What do you think?]
[I even doubt the validity of her Best Actress award in Hai City.]
A light comment was enough to negate all the efforts Qiao Xi and the ’Snowball’ team had always put in.
They just bash out text to vent their emotions, never caring about the immense efforts filmmakers put into their movies.
They only see the outcome, never the process.
And so they made a joke of Qiao Xi.
Just because she didn’t win at Warner, all sorts of demons and monsters had come out, wishing to crush her into the ground.
It seemed fun to watch someone fall from grace.
Likely holding an attitude of if I’m not good, you can’t be either.
Eagerly belittling others to elevate themselves.
Many people thought this way.
But they forgot they were the actual clowns.
Are such people scary?
