Chapter 1464: Chapter 1457: Turbulence Begins (3)

Xiang Yirou’s smile stiffened slightly. She was already displeased when her sole leading role was changed to a dual lead. After watching the finished film, even with her subpar acting, she could see that Xue Feifei’s performance was better than hers.

This time, "Chaotic Times" was indeed the hot favorite to win the award, and had been the focus of quite a few media reports already. She had hoped that this film would propel her to stardom, but Xue Feifei stole her thunder, and with Yu Sixing backing Feifei, it was difficult to make a move against her.

She could only say, "There are so many seniors here, and I’m just a newcomer to the film industry. Getting a nomination is already quite an achievement. Whether I win an award or not, I will continue to work hard in the future."

By not comparing herself with Xue Feifei and instead, listing other seniors, her response was decent. But since the host had already cued to Xue Feifei, even though she hadn’t approached the stage yet, the camera had panned to her.

But just as Xue Feifei was about to go on stage with the rest of the crew, an accident happened.

With so many people waiting in the wings, someone tripped her as she made her way up. When she was about to get on stage, she fell straight onto the edge of the red carpet, in full view of the camera.

Luckily, Xue Feifei was not far from the stage. As she fell, she sat on the steps, her legs twisted, looking somewhat elegant. Her hairstyle was casually long and wavy, and her makeup was not too exaggerated, so as she fell, there was no grimacing, only a look of surprise. She appeared merely pitiful and pathetic, rather than farcical.

Her fall certainly caused a momentary commotion at the scene. People rushed towards her, including Huang Mi who was already on stage. He quickly walked over to help her up, asking, "Are you okay?"

Although his demeanor was gracious and his eyes showed nothing more than concern between friends, devoid of any romantic nuance, him coming from afar undoubtedly drew a lot of attention. Xue Feifei quickly got up, but as she did, she felt a piercing pain in her ankle—falling while wearing high heels meant a likely sprain, didn’t it?

She swayed, and Huang Mi naturally reached out and supported her by the arm. After Xue Feifei steadied herself, she quickly expressed her thanks. Being too dismissive at this moment could seem suspicious, so she also furrowed her brows slightly and added, "Thank you, Brother Mi, for lending me a hand. I definitely would’ve embarrassed myself if it weren’t for you."

Previously, she called Huang Mi "Teacher Huang," but now she switched to calling him "Brother Mi," casually implying the closeness of their relationship. Huang Mi was not annoyed but even smiled. As the rest of the crew came over, Huang Mi did not step aside but accompanied her on stage.

His intervention left the leading actress Xiang Yirou out in the cold. Although it seemed as if Xue Feifei had made a fool of herself, her fall spiked the live broadcast’s attention in an instant, with onlookers commenting "They’re such a good match". If everything went as expected, her fall might just become tomorrow’s headline.

Huang Mi and her intimate interaction was bound to be the subject of gossip, and even the host didn’t miss the chance to comment on it, asking directly, "Feifei and Teacher Huang seem very close, right?"

Xue Feifei was forthright, though her foot was severely swollen and she had to tread carefully. Still, she smiled and said, "Certainly, Brother Mi and I have worked on three films together. If it weren’t for his guidance, I might not even have the opportunity to be here today, let alone the chance to take a fall."

However, as she spoke, the only piece of jewelry on her, the ring on the ring finger of her left hand, sparkled conspicuously in front of the camera.
