Quick Transmigration: Rescuing the Blackened Male Lead - Chapter 436
Chapter 436: Heard You Got Shelved (41)
Yu Jingchen’s apartment was just one floor away from Shen Mubai’s, and she didn’t notice anything unusual.
Carefree, she patted his shoulder and said, “If you have any difficulties, just come to me.”
A faint flush appeared on Yu Jingchen’s face as he shyly responded, “I’ll have to trouble you more in the future, Sister Xiaoxing.”
Shen Mubai laughed, “What are you being so polite for? We’re good friends.”
Director Wang’s Immortal Journey was nominated for the Golden Man Award in December, and as one of the main leads, Yu Jingchen had to attend the ceremony.
Coincidentally, both Director Wang and the director of the suspense drama nominated Yu Jingchen for the Newcomer Award.
This created a somewhat awkward situation, but the director of the suspense drama was very open-minded and didn’t mind at all.
Of course, Zhang Hao was going to walk the red carpet with Wu Xueqing.
Dressed in a custom-made suit, they looked very much like a matching couple.
However, when they came across Shen Mubai and Yu Jingchen, they paled in comparison.
In terms of looks, Yu Jingchen’s exquisitely beautiful face stood out in the entertainment industry.
Moreover, his popularity had skyrocketed recently, which inevitably attracted the media’s attention.
Not to mention, his companion, Tang Xiaoxing, though once considered just a pretty vase, had improved greatly in her acting.
Audiences now saw her in a different light, and her striking looks shone even more among the other actresses.
When they sat down at their seats, Zhang Hao’s expression soured immediately, and he paid little attention to Wu Xueqing beside him.
Wu Xueqing sneered, “What’s wrong? Feeling bitter? Do you believe the chances of that newcomer award going to him today are about fifty percent?”
Zhang Hao was hit where it hurt.
In an angle where the media couldn’t capture it, he coldly sneered, “You should worry about your Best Actress nomination. I hear this time it’s not just Lu Qi. Several nearly first-tier actresses are in the running.”
Although the Best Actress award at the Golden Man wasn’t the most prestigious, winning it would likely elevate Wu Xueqing to first-tier status.
However, the unexpected rise of Lu Qi, as pointed out by Zhang Hao, made Wu Xueqing grit her teeth in frustration.
Shen Mubai and Yu Jingchen’s seats were next to each other, with Shen Mubai in a blue gown and Yu Jingchen in a black custom-made suit, both looking stunning.
“I heard both Director Wang and Director Li nominated you for the Newcomer Award?” Shen Mubai asked.
Yu Jingchen smiled with a modest, youthful charm.
“Yes.”
Shen Mubai couldn’t help but feel excited, “Maybe you’ll get the nomination after all.”
Yu Jingchen smiled awkwardly.
“There are many seniors in the industry whose acting is far better than mine.”
Shen Mubai replied earnestly, “I think you’re already amazing.”
Yu Jingchen lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly, before looking up at her with a shy smile.
“Thank you, Sister Xiaoxing, for your confidence in me.”
Director Wang’s Immortal Journey won the most popular costume drama award this year, but Yu Jingchen’s participation in the series didn’t get him a nomination. Instead, his suspense drama The Backlight was nominated.
Many people were dissatisfied, as the drama hadn’t even aired yet, but no one dared to question the Golden Man Awards.
Some took it lightly, understanding that Yu Jingchen had only just debuted, so the Newcomer Award might still be a distant goal for him.
