Lin Muci felt a headache coming on.
Yang Weiyang and the others turned to look at her.
"Xiao Ci, is your gown ready? Your agent said you refused sponsorship from Chanel? Why wouldn't you accept it? Aren't you their spokesperson? Don't they consider you their muse? Why reject it?"
Yang Weiyang couldn't understand.
Upon hearing Yang Weiyang's words,
Lin Muci pursed her lips and calmly replied.
"Although Chanel is already an international top-tier brand, I want something even better."
Her words were filled with queenly confidence!
"Something better?"
Yang Weiyang's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Is it Zi Mu? Did she design a new gown for you again? While Zi Mu is amazing, but—"
Yang Weiyang was still worried.
"She hasn't shown herself. Are there any issues? And for such an important occasion, what if she's run out of ideas… Chanel's gowns would be more stable and secure."
Hearing her say this, Lin Muci patiently explained.
"No."
"She won't run out of ideas."
"I have confidence… in her."
She herself was the confident Zi Mu!
The Golden Globe Awards, as a top-tier award on a global scale, was indeed star-studded. The celebrities attending the awards ceremony were all world-renowned, along with A-list producers and directors.
It was also a rare opportunity for the girl group Era Girls to step onto such a stage.
Since they were only performing guests and not nominees, Yang Weiyang, Han Jiuzhen, and Ou Ruola had to go backstage to prepare for their performance.
Lin Muci, however, was to walk the red carpet with the cast of "Abuse the Scum" before meeting up with them to embark on their performance journey.
Ling Qianhe, Director Li Ping, and producer He Yunru were already waiting for her.
Even amidst the dazzling stars, Ling Qianhe remained the most brilliant presence on the red carpet.
A dazzling rising star at twenty-one, he was incomparably handsome, like a jade tree in the human realm, radiating boundless brilliance. His eyes alone could draw one in, making them unable to extricate themselves.
A being as exquisitely handsome as him was a miracle.
His black suit was understated yet exuded nobility.
He looked like a born noble.
An ineffable dignity permeated from his very bones. Where he stood, he was the most beautiful scenery in the mortal world.
He smiled at Lin Muci.
Then he said in a low voice.
"The dress is beautiful."
"I like it very much."
Her gown was inspired by a landscape painting, adorned with exquisite Su embroidery elements. As she walked, it was like a scroll of misty mountains and rivers, truly a sight to behold.
Although the overseas reporters were accustomed to designer gowns, they had never seen attire with such elegance. They praised it repeatedly, their cameras focusing on Lin Muci's hemline!
She became the focal point of all the female celebrities present!
The reporters rushed to interview her.
"You've been nominated for the Best Actress award at this Golden Globe Awards. Can you share your feelings with us?"
"What are your thoughts?"
"Among the nominated actresses for the Golden Globe Awards, you are the youngest and least experienced. In this situation, do you have the confidence to beat the other nominated actresses and win this award?"
This question was a clear trap. If she didn't give a confident answer, she would be questioned for her lack of confidence.
But if she was boastful.
And claimed the award was hers for the taking.
It was easy to imagine.
The media would surely condemn her, calling her presumptuous, ignorant of her place, and loose-lipped!
These were all likely outcomes.
Lin Muci, however, smiled, her eyes filled with confident certainty.
"I have confidence in my movie and my collaborators. I've given it my all, so no matter the outcome, I can accept it with equanimity."
"Being nominated is my fortune, but I cherish even more the effort I put in and what I learned during the filming process!"
"The other actresses have more experience than me, and I respect them very much."
"I look forward to everyone continuing to progress on their acting journeys!"
Flawless.
The event was broadcast globally.
How could she do anything unseemly?
Ling Qianhe watched her speak, his expression filled with a gentle smile.
His girl.
Shining brilliantly in front of the global media!
Next, several other media outlets interviewed her, focusing not only on the movie but also on her personal life.
"Are you and the male lead, Ling Qianhe, in a romantic relationship?"
"Were there any behind-the-scenes dealings during the casting of this movie?"
This question didn't even require Lin Muci to answer. Producer He Yunru directly took over the topic and spoke eloquently.
"When we first met Lin Muci."
"We were very certain that she was the most suitable actress for this movie. No one was more suitable; she was the chosen one for this film."
"The role of Ye Ling became so brilliant almost entirely because of her portrayal. She was the first choice from the very beginning; there were no behind-the-scenes dealings."
"Without Lin Muci, there would be no such blockbuster role as Ye Ling!"
Her nomination for Best Actress.
This movie breaking box office records worldwide also proved this point.
It was precisely because she brought the character to life that it propelled the entire movie to become a massive hit.
"I am very happy she is here today to attend the Golden Globe Awards. I believe that for a movie that broke box office records, the general public has already proven their choice. This movie is the best commercial film!"
"And the lead actress of this film rightfully deserves recognition! She is about to be crowned and become an award-winning actress."
Lin Muci would not say such proud words.
But He Yunru did so unreservedly.
As the producer,
Her position wasn't one of partiality, but rather of protectiveness.
The red carpet interviews were broadcast globally, and as soon as He Yunru's words were spoken, the entire world was in an uproar, with comments flooding the screen, scrolling frantically.
"666! She actually dares to be so bold!"
"I knew it, hahaha. Although Xiao Ci is composed, she has people supporting her and backing her up."
"Sister He is truly amazing, truly a top producer who has conquered overseas markets. She really dares to say anything!"
Then the camera turned to Ling Qianhe.
When his face, as handsome as a celestial being, appeared on the big screen, it made people gasp involuntarily.
The only thing more handsome than Ling Qianhe's previous appearance.
Was the next appearance of Ling Qianhe.
The host asked him.
"Do you think your chances of winning the Best Actor award again are higher, or Lin Muci's chances of winning the Best Actress award are greater?"
Then Ling Qianhe's lips curved slightly.
"Her performance was flawless. I believe that anyone who has watched the movie will not question her acting; she is Ye Ling herself—she is the soul of this film."
"There is only one Ye Ling."
"Others may act well too. But in my heart, she is the best actress in the world."
"Others cannot compare to her."
So blatant in their partiality!
So unrestrained in their affection!
The audience collectively gasped.
"I think what he said is right, *sob sob sob*— he's so amazing!"
"Xiao Ci is the best!"
To contend with Qianhe for Xiao Ci: 【A man who dares to say such things at an awards ceremony… is so handsome. I feel like he's incredibly charismatic like this, *sob sob sob*! He loves her so much!】
