Chapter 734: Queen of the Screen vs. Queen of the Screen!!!
This smile, broadcast on the big screen, with her exquisitely beautiful features and her refined, classical aura, caused everyone’s hearts to skip a beat.
The beauty of spring flowers and autumn moons is ineffable, and the romance of the wind, flowers, snow, and moon causes one to stop in their tracks, not daring to sully such a pure and ethereal girl with worldly eyes.
In front of the live streaming platform, Xia Weibao’s fans suddenly saw this face, so beautiful that it took their breath away, and instantly a wave of screams erupted!
"Ahhh, Baby is so beautiful!!!"
"Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!"
"When it comes to looks, only my Baby is worth mentioning!"
"So ethereal, so beautiful, I’ve been charmed..."
"Awooo! The goddess smiled at me, mom, I’m in love again..."
"Oh no, it’s the feeling of being smitten!"
"Hubby, didn’t we agree not to smile at others casually? You’ve been naughty again..."
Xia Weibao was unaware of the barrage in the live streaming platform; she was still sitting in her seat at that moment.
When she heard Hua Shan’s name, her expression softened imperceptibly.
Empire Entertainment had been putting all their efforts into promoting Hua Shan, so she had been very busy with various engagements recently.
Plus, she had moved to the Lishan Side Courtyard, which was quite a distance away.
They hadn’t seen each other for a long time.
Even phone calls had been few and far between.
Xia Weibao was very happy to see Hua Shan nominated this time.
The girl had finally tasted the sweet fruits of her labors.
It was a pity that "The Bodyguard" was a drama with the male lead’s role being the dominant one, leaving the female lead with little screen time and even less room to perform.
Therefore, although Hua Shan was nominated, the chances of her winning were relatively slim.
The hot favorites for Best Actress were herself and Chen Naizhi.
Coincidentally, both she and Chen Naizhi were recipients of the Best Actress of the Golden Flower Award, and tonight, whoever won Best Actress would become a double crown holder.
And Yan Weiyang was the previous double crown holder...
With the new and former double crown holders on the same stage, a comparison seemed inevitable.
After the host finished reading the list, the big screen began to show clips from the movies of the five nominees.
The clip from "Despair" captured the last scene, where Xiao Mei and Sun Jian were at the end of their tether, waiting not for the police but for their pursuers.
Rather than being tortured to death by the underworld, the two decided to end their lives.
With tears, Xiao Mei shot Sun Jian dead and then pointed the gun at her own head; she closed her eyes, and the tears she had been holding back suddenly became two clear streams flowing down her cheeks.
The intense despair was palpable even through the screen.
Despairingly pulling the trigger, her breath held in an expression of pain mixed with the relief of imminent release.
However, when the trigger was pulled, there were no bullets left.
That’s when the police arrived.
As the underworld figures were subdued and she was rescued, Xiao Mei was still in a daze.
Slowly turning her head to look at Sun Jian, dead in her arms, she realized she had killed the person she loved most while she herself had not died, and was even prevented by the police from committing suicide to join him—that moment was the true essence of despair!
Xia Weibao, watching the clip on the big screen, was shocked by her own outburst of acting talent at the time.
The final frozen expression of despair on Xiao Mei’s face nearly suffocated her.
During the performance, she had completely immersed herself in the role, and her feelings of despair at the time were indescribably intense.
But she had not seen the effect after shooting; during the premiere, because she was being playful with Lu Hualiang down below, she hadn’t watched seriously.
Thus it was only now that she was seeing her own performance.
Goodness, when I take acting seriously, even I can move myself to tears.
After the five clips were played, the camera began switching shots among the five nominated actresses.
