Chapter 561: The award ceremony
Qin Yan did not know that Nie Mianmian was plotting against her and her little darling. When she reached home, she got an invitation from the award ceremony. It was Fei Yue National award ceremony. The invitation reached Qin Yan as she was the CEO of the Starlight Entertainment.
Every year, outstanding films and dramas from all over the country would participate in the selection. Of course, the movie and TV stars from the various companies were not to be missed out on either. This included the A-listers in the national film scene and the drama scene, who would bring their works along with them. Some would also be invited as guests by the organizers.
Participating in this award ceremony would surely stabilize one’s position in this industry.
Thus, on getting the invitation, Qin Yan decided to visit her company first. This was the first award ceremony that was being held after their company settled down. During the time when she had acquired the company, they had not participated in anything and neither did they get invitations from any of the award ceremonies.
This was because their company had been sucked dry by Shen Sisi. All the good artists were poached away and the artists that remained in the company were turned to be mere performers for the people of Skylark Entertainment.
Thus, it took time for them to get back on the track. And now that they were on the track, it was not surprising for Starlight Entertainment to get invitation from the award ceremony.
When Qin Yan reached the company, she called for the managers of the artists to know about who from their company was nominated for awards and who could attend the ceremony. After all, because of their filming schedules, it was not possible for every artist to attend.
In the video conference, the managers of Fang Wen and Ji Lingchen told Qin Yan that both of them were not able to attend the film festival as they were currently not in the country. Meanwhile, Gong Tianhao was nominated for the best actor in the comic role, Xu Lei was nominated for the best actress category and Jiang Xun was nominated for the best supporting actress category.
These three people were in the country and they all would be attending the ceremony.
Qin Yan nodded and decided to attend the festival too. Since, her artists were nominated for the awards, she wanted to be present in their happiness if they won the award and also in their sorrow if they lost.

When it was Saturday, Xi Ting went with Qin Yan to buy a gown.
"The public still doesn’t know that you are the CEO of Starlight Entertainment. So, will you walk on the red carpet?"
"No, I have decided to be discreet. I will enter the venue in silence. After all, it is not necessary for everyone to walk on the red carpet."
Right after Qin Yan said that, the shop assistant came over with the gown that Qin Yan had picked. It was an exquisite and intricately-made gown. It could only be worn with the help of the shop assistant.
"I have already asked the best makeup artists and the best stylists to make time. They will be in charge of your styling," Xi Ting said.
Qin Yan naturally would not stand on formalities with Xi Ting, "Sure."

In the blink of an eye, they reached the day of the awards ceremony.
Qin Yan accompanied Xu Dong as she did not wish to attract attention. If she went with Xu Dong, people would assume that she is his female companion and not question much. Also, since they did not walk the red carpet, they would not garner much attention.
The red carpet has its sequence as well. The D-list artists were the first to walk in, followed by C-list artists, B-list artists and lastly the A-list starlets.
From the main artists of the Starlight Entertainment, Jiang Xun was the one to walk in first. As she was not yet qualified as the A-list artist, she had to walk in the sequence of the B-list starlet.
She stepped onto the red carpet, and the cameras went flashing. She was a vision in an elegant, floor-length gown that shimmered with every step. Her dress was a symphony of midnight blue and silver sequins, accentuating her curves and hinting at sophistication. The neckline plunged daringly, adding a touch of allure to her ensemble. Completing the look, she wore diamond earrings that sparkled like stars against her jet-black hair, which was styled in loose waves cascading down her shoulders.
As she made her way down the red carpet, the murmurs of the crowd grew louder, and the paparazzi swarmed around her, desperate for the perfect shot. Microphones were thrust towards her, and questions were fired in rapid succession.
Paparazzo 1: "Jiang Xun, over here! You’re nominated for Best Supporting Actress! How does it feel to be recognized for your outstanding performance as Yu Qianjiang?"
Jiang Xun grinned modestly, "It’s truly an honor. This film was a labor of love for everyone involved, and to be acknowledged in this way is beyond words."
Paparazzo 3: "Any pre-award show rituals you follow, Jiang Xun?"
Jiang Xun laughed, "I try to stay calm, take deep breaths, and remind myself to enjoy the moment. It’s a celebration of the hard work we’ve all put into making this film."
Although Jiang Xun was very nervous, she behaved appropriately in front of the paparazzi. She knew that one controversial statement from her had the capability to turn her career upside down. Thus, no matter what questions paparazzi asked, Jiang Xun replied diplomatically.
In the A-list category, Xu Lei walked on the red carpet. There were no clashes between the artists of Starlight Entertainment. However, not every company was this sorted.
Two artists from Skylark Entertainment were pitting themselves against each other. Neither of them wanted to walk the red carpet before the other did. Both of their cars stopped outside the red carpet and both refused to get off first, making the organizers extremely anxious.
In the end, no matter how one talked about it, both of them could be considered to have walked the red carpet together.
However, even when they were walking, both of them were still competing with each other. Neither of them wanted to walk off first and just kept standing on the red carpet and posing for photos with the reporters and waving to their fans. Both of them had really stayed on for too long to the point that the reporters had had enough of taking photos of them.
In the end, the security had to escort them off the red carpet.
Xi Yaohua was also attending the ceremony and he walked the red carpet near the end. The CEOs of the entertainment companies had a higher status than any of the celebrities, so they were to walk the red carpet at the end.
However, Qin Muran was not attending because of her scandal. She had to lay low for the time-being and thus she could not attend the ceremony even if she wanted to.
However, she wanted to watch the ceremony as she knew that Xi Yaohua would be attending it. So now, she could only sit in her living room and watch the ceremony alone.
Although Qin Yan entered with Xu Dong, she did not accompany him to the second row and neither did she sit on the seat designated to the CEO of the Starlight Entertainment which was in the first row as when she stepped towards the seat, she saw that the seat beside her was designated to the CEO of the Global World Entertainment. Qin Yan knew that Xi Yaohua would definitely be here and she did not wish to be harassed by him. Qin Yan also knew that the cameras were on everyone in the film festival, so if Xi Yaohua appeared close to her, there would be news regarding them the very next day.
Thus, Qin Yan was seated in the fifth row, and so Xi Yaohua did not spot her.
Not long after, the award ceremony started. A male and female emcee walked out. After they opened the ceremony, a few performances were held on the stage and a few awards were given away.
When it was time to present the award for the Best Supporting Actress award, the male emcee announced, "Let us welcome Director Shi Huan to present this award. Director Shi, please!"
Shi Huan walked out from the backstage to the front. There was only one presenter, Shi Huan, for the Best Supporting Actress Award, and as usual, he should start the introduction with some humor.
Shi Huan said a few lines naturally, and though they weren’t that funny, the audience members below played their part and laughed loudly.
"And now, let us look at the nominees for the Best Supporting Actress Award," Shi Huan said. "Please look at the screen."
