The judge who had just spoken up for Zhao Ling'er, surrounded by these hypocritical bastards, snorted and stood up and left.
"I heard that Su Ke'er is wearing a dress made by Master John himself today."
"Now that I see it, it's true. Su Ke'er and Master John have a very close relationship."
"Then how about we give this year's Best Female Singer award to Su Ke'er?"
"But we've already made a decision. Won't it have a negative impact if we change it now?"
“What’s wrong with that? Su Ke’er has already won the Best New Female Singer Award for two years. Once is enough, twice is not enough. Let’s give it to Su Ke’er.”
"Now that we've finished discussing it, let's start the vote by raising hands. Raise your hand if you agree that Zhao Ling'er should win the Best Actress award."
It passed unanimously!
"Raise your hand if you agree that Su Ke'er should win the Best Singer award!"
It passed unanimously again.
"Okay, since it's unanimously approved, then it's settled."
Soon, the awards ceremony began. After this commotion, far fewer people came to cause trouble for Su Ke'er. Mr. John was right next to Su Ke'er; who would bother her for no reason? That would only be asking for trouble.
“Great, Ke’er, with Master John here, there are far fewer people causing trouble today.”
"Sister Ling'er, why do you say that?"
"Little Xinghe, you have no idea. In previous years, whenever your sister and I participated in such parties, it was like the Eight Great Sects besieging Bright Peak. Your sister and the two of us were like slaying enemies and debating with the scholars!"
"Alright, Ling'er, it's not as exaggerated as you say. This isn't a fantasy drama. Tone it down."
"Well, I wasn't wrong. It's not quite that exaggerated, but it's close. After all, your sister and I are the ones who remain pure and untainted in this filthy swamp."
"Sister Ling'er, are you saying that you and my sister are both innocent and naive?"
"I!"
"Wang Xinghe, do you want to get beaten up again?"
"Fourth Sister, that's not what I meant. You are all as pure and noble as lotus flowers, refusing to compromise your integrity!"
"That's more like it. The awards ceremony has started, let's watch."
"What's so interesting about it? This is the third year already, and every year it's the best newcomer award. It's boring."
"You might win Best Actress this year. After all, with what happened to Zou Qian, if the organizers had any brains, they definitely wouldn't have given her the award."
"Of course, the organizers aren't stupid. But you know how the entertainment industry values seniority and status. Anyway, I don't have high hopes. But you, why don't you give it a try, Queen of Pop?"
"Ling'er, didn't you say it yourself? It depends on seniority and status. Let's work hard for another ten or eight years. When we have seniority and status, we can win awards easily."
"Of course, we're the two rising stars in the entertainment industry, it's definitely possible."
The awards ceremony then officially began with the judges entering the room.
There were over a thousand celebrities in attendance, all of whom were well-known. Many of them considered it an honor to receive the invitation.
The awards ceremony officially began, and just as Su Ke'er and Zhao Ling'er had guessed, the two won the Best New Singer and Best New Film and Television Actor awards respectively.
"OK, that's all. Now it's time to slack off," Zhao Ling'er said to Su Ke'er.
"Ms. Su, you might even win the Best Singer Award later. Your songs are very good, and your voice is very distinctive."
Mr. John, who was sitting next to Su Ke'er, suddenly spoke up.
“Mr. John, thank you for your blessing, but I know that I still have many shortcomings in my abilities.”
"Haha, Miss Su is too modest. If you plan to hold a world tour in the future, you can come and find me. I still have some connections abroad."
"Then it's settled."
"Then you'd better hurry, this old man doesn't know how many more years he has left to live."
“Mr. John, you are in such good health, you will surely live to be a hundred years old.”
"Then I'll take your good wishes."
The host then took the microphone and went on stage.
"Next, we will present the Best Actress award. Please see the nominated stars below."
As everyone guessed, Zou Qian's name had been removed from the list.
When the host announced the winner of Best Actress, he deliberately paused for a moment.
"She is... she is Zhao Ling'er! Let's congratulate Ling'er!"
Zhao Ling'er sat in her seat looking completely bewildered. She quickly sat up straight, as the camera was already pointed at her.
After a brief moment of shock, Zhao Ling'er stood up and walked towards the stage.
"Holy crap! How come it's still Zhao Ling'er? She's won both Best Newcomer and Best Actress? This doesn't make sense!"
"Yeah! This doesn't make sense. How can someone win both awards at the same time? A newcomer becomes the Best Actress?"
"However, Zhao Ling'er has the ability."
"She is indeed very capable and has a good image, but she's going to offend quite a few people now."
"I won the Best Actress award?"
“Congratulations, Miss Zhao,” Mr. John said with a smile.
"Kerr, did you see that? I actually won the Best Actress award! How is this possible?"
"You deserve it. I was just about to say that none of the other nominated stars are as good as you. This time, the organizers finally came to their senses."
"Ke'er, when did you say that? I don't remember it."
"That's what I was thinking, but I haven't had a chance to tell you yet."
While Zhao Ling'er's Best Actress award was jokingly referred to as a "lucky break," her subsequent Best Singer award surprised everyone, even those watching from the sidelines.
The fact that the Best Female Singer award was given to Su Ke'er surprised and shocked everyone.
Because Su Ke'er had already won the Best New Singer Award, and the Best Female Singer Award should have already been decided in advance. Why was this suddenly changed?
Thus, a heated online argument ensued. Su Ke'er's fans naturally defended her, but fans from other groups began to mock her in various ways. It seems that the earlier prediction of the eight major sects besieging Bright Peak has actually come true.
The online debate is raging, but Su Ke'er has already won the Best Female Singer award.
"I, Su Ke'er, won the Best Female Singer Award?" Su Ke'er was still in disbelief when she returned to Wang Xinghe's side.
"Congratulations, Fourth Sister, you've covered a distance that others take decades to cover."
"Little brother Xinghe, how can you say that? That's so awful! Your fourth sister truly deserves the title! Last year, my songs were number one in clicks on all the major music platforms!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Fourth Sister is the best!"
"Hehe, it just so happens that our album is about to be released. With this new title, our album is sure to sell like hotcakes!"
"Ke'er, you stole Lin Gehou's award. Do you think she'll target you?" Zhao Ling'er asked worriedly.
