Lin Che watched Gu Jingze leave silently, thinking that he must have finally left after he was done joking around with her . She dragged her long dress helplessly to attend the event .
Just outside the Panda Programme Festival area, the atmosphere was already different .
Lin Che held her dress and walked in, accompanied by Yu Minmin .
Yu Minmin told her, "You should have a big chance this time . Even if you don't win the award, at least we got to be here . "
"I don't think my odds are that high . There are so many popular shows this year and many roles were more outstanding than mine, especially those villainous roles . Everybody believes that bad women have good acting skills . "
"That's not for certain . Your role was outstanding too," Yu Minmin smiled and patted Lin Che's arm .
Lin Che looked outside to see a newcomer actress from another popular show walking on the red carpet . The host introduced her energetically and said, "Wang Qingchu's performance in the TV series 'Women's World' is remarkable . Her portrayal of the antagonist has been engraved deeply in people's hearts . She is only 20 and is the youngest out of all the nominees . "
Lin Che watched as everyone looked at Wang Qingchu enter the scene . A roar of lights flashed everywhere . She shrugged and looked at Yu Minmin .
As Lin Che mentioned, this was her competitor .
At only 20 years old, she indeed looked radiant .
Yu Minmin heard people beside her discussing openly, "It seems like she might win the award; she looks so proud and confident as if she already won . "
"Yes . Also, she recently got into a relationship with that Liu Kai . She has been leading the hot topics . I also think she'll win big tonight . "
Everyone looked at Lin Che . There was a hint of disdain in their eyes .
Lin Che turned around and Yu Minmin spoke in a low voice, "Don't mind about what they think . In this industry, when there's nothing to talk about, people will stir up nonsense . Live and let them live . "
Lin Che nodded, "I'm fine, Sister Yu . I know . "
Just then, someone from behind hit the back of her head .
"Ouch, who's that?"
She turned back to see Gu Jingyu, someone she had not seen in a long time . She had no idea when he caught up behind her .
"What are you looking at?" he asked .
Lin Che asked, "Gu Jingyu, why are you here?"
"I saw you standing here stupidly, so I came over to check . "
"How am I stupid…" Lin Che gently rubbed her head .
Gu Jingyu said, "Silly . Come on! Let's not wait anymore . Walk with me . "
"Huh? Aren't you supposed to come in later? I don't have anyone walking on the red carpet with me today . "
"Am I not paired up with you now?"
"But…" Lin Che was pulled along by him and she stumbled forward .
"But what? Let's go . I'll be with you . "
How could that be?
Although she knew that Gu Jingyu loved breaking the rules since they didn't matter to him, she always followed the rules in the industry .
Gu Jingyu was supposed to be a part of the finale walk . As he pulled Lin Che along, everybody looked on in envy . When it was his turn, he dragged Lin Che with him and placed her hand in the nook of his arm as they walked on the red carpet together .
The host inside was shocked but was also aware that Gu Jingyu often did not go by the book, so he reacted quickly .
Everyone looked at the two of them on the red carpet enviously . The lights flashed nonstop and the host commented on how Gu Jingyu abandoned the female lead and walked the red carpet with the supporting actress instead .
It fed the rumor that was hyped up by everyone for a while .
Yu Minmin watched them from behind and shook her head speechlessly .
They finally walked to the end of the red carpet and went to their own seats .
Sitting at the front, Wang Qingchu suddenly turned back to Lin Che and smiled, "We've been nominated together this time . "
Lin Che smiled along, "Indeed . "
"I think your sword is pretty big this time . There's Gu Jingyu and Mu Feiran after all . Even the supporting roles had Lin Li and the likes . It's impossible for newcomers like us; none of us are old . We're already lucky to be famous . Who knew we'd become the dark horses?"
Even though the words were self-deprecating, her tone had a sense of pride in it .
She implied that Lin Che's show was famous because of the stars in it while hers had no big stars . She hinted that she got here with her own effort .
Lin Che smiled and said, "Really? I don't know why but no big celebrity wanted to take up that script of yours . It seemed like a good script . "
She really meant that the script was trash with no substance . Of course, if that was true, big stars would not take it .
Wang Qingchu's face changed subtly . She glanced at Lin Che and groaned deep down in her heart . It was just because of Gu Jingyu's backing .
Just then, a number of people passed by and hurriedly greeted Lin Che when they saw her .
She knew some of them while she had not met others before . She had not known or even seen some of them .
Although Lin Che was always filming, she never joined any gathering in the circle . This Festival was like an enormous gathering . All the celebrities that someone could think of were there . They all had a film this year . This was also the first time so many people actually knew who she was and there were people who wanted to know her .
After being bombarded for a long time, the ceremony was finally about to start . Everyone returned back to their places .
Lin Che let out a breath and said to Yu Minmin, "I exchanged a lot of WeChat numbers just now . "
Yu Minmin replied, "Of course . You're now a rising star! There are many people who want to know you . "
"Why would they want to know me?" Lin Che asked curiously .
Yu Minmin said, "Networking is important in this industry . Who knows in the future if favors are going to be needed? You're famous now but the future is endless . Of course, they want to get to know you early . "
"Okay," Lin Che never expected herself to be already of value to others . "I thought I was still new . " "
"You're only new this year . In the future, you're going to get more famous!" Yu Minmin smiled at her .
"Who knows? With more newcomers, I don't know if I might get photographed on the beach . "
Because of her past experience, Lin Che did not feel optimistic .
In the front, Wang Qingchu watched and snorted . She turned back . The people on her side were indeed a lot less . She muttered in her heart that it was only because of Gu Jingyu; what was the big deal? She did not believe that Lin Che could rely on him forever .
The awards ceremony soon started .
Wang Qingchu left quietly .
In the single room outside, someone gasped .
Wang Qingchu gasped seductively, "President Chen, you promised . This year's Best Newcomer Award was supposed to be mine . "
"Hm, yours . It's yours . "
"You didn't see how arrogant that Lin Che was! She's making use of Gu Jingyu's affection to steal tomorrow's headlines . You can't give the award to her!"
"Fine, fine, I won't give it to her . Baby, let's continue…"
Wang Qingchu fixed her makeup before returning . She looked at Lin Che behind in contempt, listening to Yu Minmin tell her what to say for her acceptance speech . She smiled even more and said, "Don't waste your time, Lin Che . I know your acting is not bad and you work hard, but this award is definitely mine . " She turned around, "Even if you have Gu Jingyu, it's useless . I can tell you this now… You have no idea what kind of backing I have!"
