Chapter 527: Chapter 527
This young star was very youthful, and He Jinxia found her expression quite amusing, feeling the surge of an older aunt’s curiosity, she asked, "What are you thinking about?"
The young star muttered, "I feel like I’m dreaming."
He Jinxia chuckled, gently shook her head, and didn’t say much more, only adding, "Just focus on your acting, the buzz is temporary, but only a true work can last a lifetime, keep it up!"
As soon as she had finished speaking, she continued walking forward.
The young star stood still, gazing at He Jinxia’s receding figure, and at that moment, she made a decision in her heart—to become an actress!
Unknown to He Jinxia, this young star was actually a singer who had debuted through a talent show, nor did she know that her casual comment would add a new powerhouse actress to Hua Country’s entertainment industry!
Waiting time was incredibly long, yet occasionally, time seemed to blink away in an instant.
When He Jinxia regained her senses, the event had reached the award for "Audience’s Favorite Supporting Actress."
Without any suspense, the host on the stage announced her name, He Jinxia to present the award!
After He Jinxia got on stage, she first bowed to the host and noticed his hand, a hint of confusion in her eyes; she did not see the trophy in his hand.
The host winked at her slyly, smiled sneakily, and turned to the camera, saying, "Next, please welcome our presenter: Sheng Yan, to present the award to He Jinxia!"
At these words, the entire venue suddenly fell silent!
He Jinxia, too, appeared shocked, Sheng... Sheng Yan?
She hadn’t misheard, had she?
Spirited music began to play, and Sheng Yan, dressed in a bespoke suit and with a slicked-back hairstyle, revealing his proud and sculpted features, slowly walked onto the stage.
The lights fell upon him, making him appear more dazzling than the award presenter himself, instantly capturing the attention of everyone present!
A chorus of screams erupted; even the celebrities couldn’t help but turn fan-girls, no exception for A-list stars, as all celebrated wildly for him.
"Sheng Yan! Emperor Sheng! Sheng Yan! Emperor Sheng..." ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelFɪre.net
The festive shouting came from behind the stage, an area specially arranged for fans. Tickets to the Golden Custard Award Ceremony were not sold but given out through a lottery.
The fans lucky enough to win the lottery had various idols, at least preventing a massive overlap; none of the other A-list celebrities could achieve this effect.
This was the charm of a superstar!
He Jinxia stared blankly as Sheng Yan walked toward her step by step, a slight smile curling the corners of her mouth, a tender light crossing her face, everything felt so surreal.
In front of all the celebrities, under the gaze of thousands, he took her hand and led her to the microphone stand.
He Jinxia’s mind wandered for a moment, feeling as if she and Sheng Yan had arrived at their wedding venue—it was just too unreal!
Seeing He Jinxia’s dazed expression, the host jokingly said, "It seems our Audience’s Favorite Supporting Actress has been dazzled by Superstar Sheng’s charm. Is she going to scream and then excitedly faint in the next second?"
He Jinxia came back to her senses, cooperating fully by leaning into the microphone and screaming loudly, brilliantly playing the part of a fan-girl, then using her excellent acting skills, she slightly stepped back, gently touched her forehead, closed her eyes, pretending to faint.
Believe it or not, if the host hadn’t made a joke in advance, He Jinxia’s appearance might have really resembled someone fainting.
Sheng Yan quickly stepped back and reached out to support Jinxia at her lower back, his hand not actually touching her body, just lightly pretending to.
This scene was captured by the cameras on site, and the friends watching the live broadcast all praised him as a gentleman!
From such a small detail, one could see a person’s character, and Sheng Yan’s character was undoubtedly awesome!
The male host continued to speak a few words with a smile to liven up the atmosphere, then the award ceremony formally began.
The award segment was brief; Sheng Yan didn’t say much, just handed the trophy forward and then patted her shoulder encouragingly, "Keep up the hard work."
Then he stopped speaking.
He Jinxia accepted the trophy and began her acceptance speech, first thanking Sheng Yan for presenting her with the award; it felt heavy and significant.
Following tradition, she thanked the country, her agent, her company, her parents, and so on, finishing with a deep bow amongst the applause and then she left the stage.
Her speech was very ordinary, just meeting expectations, but none of the stars present or the audience in front of the TV cared much about the content of her speech.
For them, He Jinxia was just a star who had caused a big stir at the Golden Custard Awards, forcing the Golden Custard officials to recheck their votes and clear any fraudulent data, daring to publicly challenge the fairness of the awards.
If there had to be another unique aspect, it was that the superstar Sheng Yan presented the award to her.
When she walked off the stage, she noticed the peculiar glares from many stars, some covert, some overt, and even some filled with hostility.
He Jinxia faced all of this with her head held high and back straight, meeting each gaze with a smile.
With a group of supporters behind her, she wasn’t afraid at all, especially since...
He Jinxia’s eyes curved into a smile, gentle and tender, and Sheng Yan was here too!
Next, the most important award at the Golden Custard Festival was given, the Golden Custard Goddess—[The Most Beloved Female Lead Award]!
This award was won by Xi Yunya, who had led the vote from the moment the voting channel opened, with her advantage growing every day, even surpassing frantic voters like He Minqing.
Whether Xi Yunya had manipulated votes or not wasn’t of interest to He Jinxia, but she knew that with Xi Yunya’s talent, she truly deserved the title of Golden Custard Goddess.
Time flew by, and what felt like a very long time passed in the blink of an eye, and the Golden Custard Awards came to an end.
He Jinxia tidied up a bit, waiting for the event to disperse, then went to the dinner following the Golden Custard Awards.
The stars in the front rows were the first to leave; those who could sit in the front were A-listers. He Jinxia looked up and saw many familiar faces from the TV screens.
Among them, one star was particularly conspicuous because she wasn’t walking out but rather walking in.
As she approached, He Jinxia could see clearly that it was Geng Ni.
Her expression was a bit strange, and a guess arose in her mind—could Geng Ni have come specifically to find her?
And just as she thought of it.
After a short while, under the gaze of other second and third-tier celebrities, Geng Ni came to He Jinxia’s side and greeted her with a smile, "Jinxia, let’s go together to the Golden Custard Awards’ signature wall and photo backdrop for a keepsake!"
