Chapter 1385: Chapter 1376: Facing Death (Part 5)
Actually, not winning the award was within Xia Siyu’s expectations.
She and that senior were always neck and neck. In terms of acting, during “Storm,” she couldn’t quite match up to that senior. But this was considered a breakthrough for her from being an actress, the audience found it refreshing, and with Bo Yan and Shang Feifei as her co-stars, the results were particularly good, and the box office was not bad either.
If the mountain disaster hadn’t happened, even without Huixing’s maneuvering, her chances of being selected were still fifty-fifty. It was completely up to the judges’ preferences. Those who liked expressive acting would probably particularly enjoy her style of performance, and she wasn’t just expressive; she paid attention to details as well. Those who preferred realistic acting might be moved by that senior.
Losing to a senior, she accepted it willingly and would never complain.
However, what Xia Siyu never expected was that this ti’s Gold Oscar for Best Actress was snatched by a twenty-two-year-old newcor, who was nominated for the first ti and acted in a campus youth film.
When this result was announced, Xia Siyu was indeed a little dumbfounded, and her smile froze on her face. But she wasn’t angry, just found it a bit unbelievable. She gently turned her head and asked the person beside her: “What? Who is it?”
The person sitting next to her was Wang Ju, and with his connections, he had actually heard so rumors beforehand, especially about the first round of voting. Xia Siyu and that senior were neck and neck, hard to decide.
The usual voting is divided into two rounds, requiring more than fifty percent to be finalized. But Xia Siyu and the senior both hovered around thirty percent, Xia Siyu slightly ahead. But this number of votes clearly couldn’t surpass the second round.
If at this point, Xia Siyu’s company had so background, or so connections, trying to fight for it wasn’t out of the question, after all, she had an edge in the first round of voting.
But Xia Siyu didn’t pursue it, and that senior wasn’t so trending figure, wasn’t heavily promoted, so naturally, didn’t pursue it either.
Unexpectedly, it was the newcor who went for public relations.
The newcor was heavily promoted by their film company, and although there weren’t people from this company among the judges, the chair of the judges was married to a major director from this company.
In any case, no one really broke through in the first-round voting, the newcor received about twenty percent of the votes. Several people were arguing over whether Xia Siyu or that senior should win, so the chair of the judges simply suggested, since there was no consensus, why not choose the newest newcor and give them so encouragent.
If we were to discuss acting, this female artist winning a newcor award wouldn’t be an issue, she had great spiritual energy and was quite talented. But when the final result was announced, Xia Siyu was initially surprised, but then, she didn’t have ti to feel sad for herself and instead turned—to look in the direction of that senior actress.
That senior actress glanced at her too, both of their eyes holding a bit of shock. But since everyone was playing their part, people in the public eye say the right things, no one would publicly show a sour face on the spot.
However, watching the newcor cry tears of joy, holding the trophy and shedding tears right on the scene, thanking family and friends, and also thanking the managent company, it still felt a bit off.
Of course, besides the female lead herself, all other audiences, including those in front of the TV or mobile phones, wore a look of shock.
Although the female lead won the award just monts before, soon after, her hot searches were soaring, but the comnts following were all: “You still can win an award with this? You act worse than Xia Siyu!”
