CHAPTER 334: THE AWARDS CEREMONY

Ye Feimo tightened his grip on her hand, his gaze burning, with a spark of anger in his eyes. "Your tone is so sour. How can you say you’re not overthinking things?"

"Why were you staring at her so intensely?"

Ye Feimo frowned and didn’t answer. Wen Nuan tried to pull her hand away. Ye Feimo quickly held on to it. Wen Nuan said in a cold voice, "Let go!"

"Wen Nuan, don’t be childish."

"Who’s being childish? I’m very calm right now." Wen Nuan struggled to get her hand free. Lin Ning and Pei Jun turned around. Wen Nuan smiled slightly. Second Young Master Ye’s eyes were cold and sharp. Lin Ning and Pei Jun turned their heads and continued to chat.

Wen Nuan wasn’t angry that Ye Feimo was looking at Han Bi with such fascination. She didn’t want to disturb his memories. He could freely reminisce about his time with Han Bi, but he couldn’t do it right in front of her.

He was acting so obvious, so why bother denying it? She didn’t say anything, but she was more annoyed by his suspicious attitude.

Wen Nuan was thinking this, and she felt even more resentment. Ye Feimo lowered his voice. "Wen Nuan, I didn’t expect her to wear that dress. I just looked at it for a moment. It didn’t mean anything."

Wen Nuan looked at Han Bi’s dress. The style was beautiful. She wasn’t very sensitive to fashion, so she couldn’t tell what brand the dress was, but it looked very beautiful and elegant. Han Bi wore it with a lot of style.

*What’s wrong with the dress? Do you know it?* Wen Nuan asked. The anger in her heart subsided a little. As long as he gave her an explanation, she wouldn’t be angry about this kind of thing. After all, the person Ye Feimo loved now was her. She was his rightful woman.

Ye Feimo nodded, his eyes deep. "It’s a long story. I’ll tell you after the Golden Chapter Awards."

Wen Nuan gave him a long look. Ye Feimo didn’t avoid her gaze and gently held her hand. "Trust me."

She nodded, choosing to believe him.

She couldn’t help but wonder if Ye Feimo had designed the dress.

He had a talent for jewelry and clothing design. After all, he was raised in that environment. He personally designed their wedding rings. He was currently designing a few evening gowns for her. He had already sketched out the basic designs. The lines were smooth and in a Western style. The concept was very similar to the dress Han Bi was wearing. Wen Nuan mumbled in her heart, *It seems that in the past, a certain person was very... thoughtful toward a certain woman.*

The Golden Chapter Awards ceremony began.

Han Bi and Pei Jun were the hosts. The two of them went on stage to host the ceremony. This pair was definitely the most important and eye-catching hosts in the history of the Golden Chapter Awards. They were both international superstars, one was an award-winning actress, and the other was a famous singer. The combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman instantly captured the hearts of many fans. When they appeared on stage, there was a chorus of screams.

Light sticks, name signs, and banners were all lit up. Especially Pei Jun’s female fans, who were screaming nonstop.

Han Bi laughed and joked, "Pei Jun’s fans are so supportive. They’re controlling the whole venue."

"No way. There are fans of so many people here today. Han Bi’s fans, Li Yuanyuan’s fans, Zhou Chengguo’s fans..." Pei Jun was a very different person on and off the stage. On stage, he would sing, dance, and get crazy, trying his best to show his talent and entertain the public. Off stage, he was a cold and quiet person.

Wherever he pointed, the fans there would start screaming, supporting their idol, and arousing the atmosphere of the event.

The two of them quickly made the event lively with their jokes. After the long speech from the organizer, the award ceremony began. The Golden Chapter Awards had three rounds of voting. The first round was where residents of A City with ID numbers voted for their favorite movie, director, best actress, best actor, most popular actor, most popular actress, best supporting actress, and best newcomer. The top ten in each category would move on to the second round. The second round was made up of a non-professional judging panel of 100 people. This hundred people were recommended and invited by the judging committee, including producers, planners, directors, screenwriters, cinematographers, stunt coordinators, art directors, editors, actors, film musicians, other professional producers (including sound engineers, lighting technicians, and visual effects artists), film critics, film cultural/educational workers, media workers, and film distribution or public relations workers. The top five from the second round would move on to the final selection tonight.

The third round was a professional judging panel of ten people. It was composed of professional filmmakers and media workers recommended and invited by the Golden Chapter Awards judging committee. There was one head judge among the ten, and in the case of a tie, the opinion of the head judge was respected. The head judge for this year’s Golden Chapter Awards was Cheng Yu.

First up were the nominations for Best Picture. There were five movies: *Beauty of the Nation*, *The Uncrowned King*, *Jianghu*, *Humen Elite*, and *Black Rose*... Wen Nuan’s heart was racing. She watched the clips of her and Zhou Chengguo from *Beauty of the Nation* appear on the big screen, and her heart was pounding. She hadn’t felt this way at the Film Critics’ Award, but it was especially noticeable this time.

Han Bi announced that the Best Picture for this year’s Golden Chapter Awards was *Beauty of the Nation*, based on the information from the computer on the stage.

The producer, Gu Yun, went on stage to accept the award. Then Lin Ning, Wen Nuan, Chen Xueru, Zhou Chengguo, and a group of the main creators went on stage. The group was large and impressive, and there was a round of applause. Han Bi asked Lin Ning about his creative process.

Lin Ning said, "This movie was a lot of hard work. Besides my efforts, the actors in the crew and the heroes behind the scenes all worked very hard. I’ll see you all at *Red Jade*."

Pei Jun teased and asked, "Will *Red Jade* have the same cast?"

"The crew will be the same, but as for the main creators, you’ll find out when the time comes," Lin Ning said, being mysterious. Pei Jun then asked Wen Nuan, "Your debut movie has done so well. What do you want to say?"

Wen Nuan said with a humble smile, "I want to especially thank the director and all the brothers and sisters of the crew. With their help and love, I was able to perform my best."

...

When they got off the stage, Ye Feimo said, "Your hands were shaking, and you were too nervous when you spoke."

"Of course, I was nervous. Even though I wasn’t the one accepting the award, my palms were sweating," Wen Nuan said. Her voice was a little tight. After all, it was her first time on stage, and she had the powerful presence of Han Bi beside her and the calm and composed Pei Jun. It would have been strange if she wasn’t nervous.

Chen Xueru said with a laugh, "Don’t be nervous. It’s okay. When you get nervous, just look at Mr. Ye."

Next was Best Director. There was almost no suspense. The Best Director was Lin Ning. The Best Screenwriter was the screenwriter of *The Uncrowned King*. Then came Best Newcomer.
