After they passed by, Lin Xuxu's assistant handed over some water. She opened it and gave it to Ji Xianbai first:
"Would you like some water, senior?"
"No, thank you."
Ji Xianbai refused without even looking at her, and was still feeling annoyed about not being able to invite Qiao Yu as his female companion. This Lin Xuxu was really becoming more and more annoying.
He no longer wanted to deal with the 24-hour non-stop WeChat messages and the constant visits to the set.
Ji Xianbai looked at a valuable car parked at the red carpet entrance. It belonged to Director Lu, not Xiao Yu, whom he was looking for.
!!!
"Xiao Lan, who is coming? Why are these reporters suddenly so excited?"
Lin Xuxu was drinking water. The crowd was so dense that she could hardly be seen even with her high heels on.
The assistant was not tall either, so he leaned over to look and said:
"It's Sister Yu and Director Lu."
Lin Xuxu felt uncomfortable after listening to the reporter's enthusiasm. So what if Director Lu...
But seeing that Ji Xianbai's face looked even worse, Lin Xuxu had a bad feeling in her heart, but she didn't have the courage to ask.
I kept comforting myself that I was just overthinking it. Yes, I was just overthinking it.
"The winner of the Best New Talent Award at the 12th London International Chinese Film Festival is - congratulations to Ms. Lin Yu for her role as Lan Susheng in "Step by Step."
As soon as the host finished speaking, the camera immediately turned to Qiao Yu.
Because it was a live broadcast, Qiao Yu's expression was filled with the joy, emotion and disbelief of a young girl without a trace of falsehood.
The genuine emotions expressed made all the viewers happy for the girl, but they actually didn't know it.
Qiao Yu practiced this expression in front of the mirror countless times before she was slightly satisfied.
Lu Jinshu, who was sitting next to him, wanted to clap Qiao Yu's hand to celebrate with him, but he just raised his hand and put it back.
The people present looked at the girl walking towards the stage, some gave her heartfelt blessings, while others were jealous.
Among them was Lin Xuxu, who could hardly keep the smile on her face.
Ji Xianbai, who was sitting next to her, naturally took in all of Lin Xuxu's expressions and felt even more sorry for Qiao Yu.
Apart from knowing that Lin Xuxu's mistress took her out on him that day, Xiao Yu was usually pretty nice to her. Was there any need for Lin Xuxu to be so jealous of Xiao Yu?
There were cameras everywhere at the scene. Ji Xianbai reminded them gently:
"Is the air conditioner turned a little low? Your face looks pale."
Lin Xuxu came back to her senses after hearing the voice, and touched her face with a warm feeling in her heart:
"It's okay, senior. I was so nervous when I heard the host announce the list of new talent awards. Xiao Yu is really great."
Lin Xuxu smiled softly, with a little joy in her eyes, just like a good girl who was happy for her good friend.
Unfortunately, Ji Xianbai is not blind, nor is he a fool who can be easily deceived:
"Well, Xiaoyu's efforts are worth it."
After saying that, the smile on Lin Xuxu's face froze for a moment.
She thought her senior would comfort her that her efforts would be rewarded... Lin Xuxu was about to say something when the acceptance speech on the stage rang out.
"I'm very happy with everyone's recognition of me. I'd like to thank the organizers, and also thank my fans. I'd also like to thank my friends who have always supported me... I will continue to work hard to bring you more and better works."
When talking about friends, Qiao Yu's eyes seemed to meet Ji Xianbai's inadvertently, and the other party's eyes were full of doting.
A blush appeared on the girl's face, and she was so beautiful that it was beyond words. Ji Xianbai touched the small gift box in his pocket and became more determined.
When Qiao Yu came down from the stage, the blush on her face had not yet faded, and she was filled with an unmistakable joy.
Lu Jinshu, who was watching her, couldn't help but feel happy too. Originally, in his eyes, this kind of small award was nothing to be happy about. After all, he had been winning awards since he was a child and was already immune to it.
But for some reason, seeing Qiao Yu laughing, he couldn't help but laugh too:
"You're such a loser! You're so happy just because you got the Newcomer Award."
Qiao Yu was in a good mood and didn't argue with him. Looking at the trophy in his hand, which was not worth much, he said:
"This is my first time winning an award. I'm a rising star, so what? This is everyone's recognition of me."
Qiao Yu was displeased by Lu Jinshu's smiling gaze. She snorted in dissatisfaction and handed the trophy to her assistant, not intending to pay any attention to this Versailles act.
"Xiao Yu is really great. This is your first and it won't be your last. You will be my next..."
Best Actress.
"What?"
She was responded with warm applause from the audience. It turned out that the list of best actresses had been announced, and it was Hua Yalan, an actress with both strength and qualifications.
Qiao Yu and Lu Jinshu were obviously not surprised by this result. After all, the Best Actress and the Newcomer are different.
Qiao Yu was not surprised because he had seen the memory before, and Lin Xuxu, who had been smooth sailing in his memory, did not win the award.
Lu Jinshu was not surprised because, as the filming progressed, Lin Xuxu failed to portray Min Fanghua's unwillingness to admit defeat, and instead showed an indescribable confidence?
I think the sparrow knows that it comes from the phoenix's nest, so it doesn't have the inferiority complex and ambition that it has in the pheasant's nest.
Thinking of this, Lu Jinshu still felt defeated by his wrong casting choice. A wild chicken is a wild chicken, and how could he dream of being on par with his girl?
Therefore, the reason why most of Lin Xuxu's scenes were cut was not because Lu Jinshu wanted to give more roles to Qiao Yu, but because without the distinctive personality of Min Fanghua, Lan Susheng had to carry the show.
Lu Jinshu did not delete all of Lin Xuxu's later scenes. He was already following the contract and for the integrity of the script.
Because the camera was still filming, the smile on Lin Xuxu's face was stiff.
She clearly felt that this award would belong to her...
