Chapter 523: Chapter 523

Today, W-blog was virtually the home court of He Jinxia alone.

Netizens witnessed the dark side of vote manipulation firsthand and saw He Jinxia’s agent furious backlash, even threatening to withdraw from the Golden Custard Award Festival!

They also saw many celebrities support He Jinxia, witnessed Movie King Sheng’s intervention, and eventually, Golden Custard officials announced they would recount the votes, ultimately restoring an award to He Jinxia!

Some netizens humorously dubbed He Jinxia as "Miracle He," "Great He," adding to the previously made "He Paopao" when she desperately ran to avoid reporters.

Unknowingly, more and varied aspects of He Jinxia’s image were put before the public, no longer confined to a single persona.

Each A-list celebrity’s emergence must go through various waves of dominating the media; this is an acknowledged rule within the circle.

If earlier only industry insiders were optimistic about He Jinxia’s rise, now, even those outside the industry who enjoy following entertainment news could sense He Jinxia’s ascension!

He Jinxia’s elevation to A-list status seemed just around the corner.

For stars with potential to become A-list, those who are already A-list would often show goodwill.

The entertainment circle is never about just one individual, some current A-listers don’t want other stars to climb up, but some welcome them.

Geng Ni was among the quickest A-list celebrities to congratulate Jinxia, posting a message on her official W-blog account and tagging He Jinxia directly.

V Geng Ni: "Congratulations @He Jinxia for winning ’Most Loved Female Supporting Character’. I look forward to seeing you at the Golden Custard Award Festival opening ceremony!"

Jinxia was abroad and found it inconvenient to manage her W-blog, so she assigned Luo You to take care of it.

Luo You naturally did not turn down a show of support from an A-list star, promptly logged into Jinxia’s W-blog, interacted with Geng Ni, and followed her.

Subsequently, not only Geng Ni, but several other A-list celebrities also mentioned He Jinxia.

Among these celebrities were actors and singers who had worked with Jinxia, as well as models and singers she hadn’t met; Luo You interacted with all of them.

As for mentions from second-tier stars, Luo You only chose those with promising momentum to interact with.

The entertainment circle is such a realistic place, even choosing friends must be done carefully.

Interestingly, Deng Zhaoyan also posted a congratulatory W-blog for He Jinxia, but she didn’t tag He Jinxia.

Luo You did not see her post; it was Zhang Dayou who noticed and asked him if he should respond.

Luo You saw it, raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and shook his head, "No need to respond."

Jinxia and Deng Zhaoyan had long since torn each other’s facades, and whether Deng Zhaoyan’s insincere interactions with Jinxia would be acknowledged was yet to be decided.

Moreover... the previous Deng Zhaoyan might have been a threat, but the current one, well, she should focus on securing her own A-list status first.

Shortly after He Jinxia flew to M country for filming, news came from the homeland that the international luxury brand that Deng Zhaoyan had been endorsing announced they would change their spokesperson for the new year, with Geng Ni taking over as the face for the Asia region.

Deng Zhaoyan was gradually starting to fade out~

The next day, when He Jinxia went to the drama set for filming, she again caught the eyes of numerous actors.

He Jinxia furrowed her brows and once again sent Cheng Xiaohua to gather information.

Could it be that Charles was having a dispute with Ola and using her as a shield again?

Soon, Cheng Xiaohua returned, leaned close, and whispered mysteriously, "They are all admiring you!"

He Jinxia was stunned, "Admire?"

Cheng Xiaohua nodded, "I didn’t know either, but it turns out that foreigners are so well-informed about the entertainment news inside Hua Country.

Yesterday, Brother Luo caused a big scene at the Golden Custard Award, claiming that the awards were unfair, and ultimately forced the Golden Custard Award to recheck the votes, disqualifying some celebrities’ votes. Many international celebrities already know about this."

"To force the Golden Custard Award to recount votes single-handedly, they all think you are very impressive. For international stars, this is simply impossible."

He Jinxia, reflecting on something that changed her initial interest to a solemn expression, sighed lightly and said:

"The system abroad is different from ours. Some things are common here in Hua Country but have almost never occurred overseas. Really, what I did was nothing remarkable."

What does it mean to single-handedly force the Golden Custard Award to recount the votes?

Li Yaotiao’s vote rigging was too obvious; her votes skyrocketed by 300,000 in just a few minutes. Wasn’t it clearly problematic?

Since there was a problem, as a celebrity contending for the award, wasn’t it normal for her to request a recheck of the votes?

Why did such a seemingly normal action cause such shock domestically and even spark heated discussions internationally?

He Jinxia couldn’t judge whether this phenomenon was good or bad. She had her own standards of right and wrong; she would make judgments. As long as it crossed her bottom line, she would resist.

Ignoring the strange looks from the actors in the crew, He Jinxia focused intently on her work, practicing dance if it was time to dance, and acting if it was time to shoot a scene.

The scenes she had to shoot today still involved her acting opposite Ola. Maybe because they had cleared the air last time, Ola was in a good state of mind, handling expressions, gestures, and movements with ease.

As she and Ola had rehearsed beforehand today’s shooting went very smoothly, allowing the actors and even the director in the crew to witness the prowess of the new generation actors once again.

After finishing shooting, He Jinxia packed up her things, preparing to leave; she was catching a flight back to Hua Country tonight.

Originally, her flight was scheduled for tomorrow. The Golden Custard Festival was opening tomorrow evening, and there was no rush for her to fly to Hua Country tomorrow.

However, after the last call with Sheng Yan, He Jinxia decided to go see Sheng Yan sooner, and thus she advanced her departure.

Ola hastily caught her before she left, excitedly saying to her, "I saw your news; you are really cool! I want to learn from you!"

He Jinxia felt awkward.

Ola winked at her, "Your flight tonight? I won’t stop you; you better hurry!"

He Jinxia nodded, not saying much else, took one last look at Ola, and left. Read complete versıon only at novel•fire.net

For some reason, she always felt that one day in the future, Ola might indeed be like her today.

This thought flashed through her mind, and He Jinxia couldn’t help but shake her head. If possible, she would rather Ola never face a situation like hers.

Challenging certain industry norms, wanting to resist, isn’t as easy as one imagines.

This time she was successful also because her opponents were foolish and the evidence too conspicuous. Moreover, with Sheng Yan’s support, she was able to secure her own glory.

If Li Yaotiao had spread out those suddenly surged three hundred thousand votes over several days and at different times, making the evidence less conspicuous, He Jinxia, even if complaining about the unfairness afterward, would definitely have been ignored.

But if that were the case, her team wouldn’t just stand by watching Li Yaotiao staying ahead of her, doing nothing.

So many things can’t be known until the end; no one can predict the outcome.
