Behind The Spotlight Chapter 262
"Axel, look at the camera!" A reporter said.
Axel Gunner stared at the camera while keeping his smile. He stood upright, maintaining a tall posture as dozens of reporters took pictures of him.
Axel was wearing a nice suit, sponsored by Diore and designed by a famous designer specifically for tonight's award show.
Axel had been attending so many parties lately just to ask for votes. He had attended different kinds of gatherings, most of them were formal events, while others were a bit questionable, though not entirely bad, usually just featuring drugs and crazy people dancing around. Thankfully, Axel was a reasonable guy, so he never entertained carnal parties like sex orgies. He had never gone to a party like that, not even once.
Well, Axel was afraid of women and had been celibate for more than a decade. He could interact with women professionally, but it was a completely different story if a woman showed romantic interest in him. Axel simply avoided her.
"What do you think of tonight's award show? Do you believe that you will win the award?"
"I hope so. I did my best, and I believe my performance deserves the win. Still, I will respect the decision of the Academy," he humbly expressed his opinion... He had actually spent $5 million over the past two months just hiring the PR team and bribing Academy members. He hoped his investment was worth it.
Outright bribery using money was not allowed, but there were many ways to bribe people without cash. Even giving out movie tickets was considered a bribe. Giving presents was also a bribe.
