Chapter 1464 - 1457: Turbulence Begins (3)
Xiang Yirou’s smile stiffened slightly. She was already displeased when her sole leading role was changed to a dual lead. After watching the finished film, even with her subpar acting, she could see that Xue Feifei’s performance was better than hers.
This time, "Chaotic Times" was indeed the hot favorite to win the award, and had been the focus of quite a few media reports already. She had hoped that this film would propel her to stardom, but Xue Feifei stole her thunder, and with Yu Sixing backing Feifei, it was difficult to make a move against her.
She could only say, "There are so many seniors here, and I’m just a newcomer to the film industry. Getting a nomination is already quite an achievement. Whether I win an award or not, I will continue to work hard in the future."
By not comparing herself with Xue Feifei and instead, listing other seniors, her response was decent. But since the host had already cued to Xue Feifei, even though she hadn’t approached the stage yet, the camera had panned to her.
But just as Xue Feifei was about to go on stage with the rest of the crew, an accident happened.
With so many people waiting in the wings, someone tripped her as she made her way up. When she was about to get on stage, she fell straight onto the edge of the red carpet, in full view of the camera.
Luckily, Xue Feifei was not far from the stage. As she fell, she sat on the steps, her legs twisted, looking somewhat elegant. Her hairstyle was casually long and wavy, and her makeup was not too exaggerated, so as she fell, there was no grimacing, only a look of surprise. She appeared merely pitiful and pathetic, rather than farcical.
