Chapter 969: Chapter 967

In no time, I became merely a runner-up, once again brushing past the title of Best Actress.

Just now, my manager Lu Shui came over and told me that I’d been invited to several award ceremonies; however, they were all low-grade events with trivial awards, virtually no different from the so-called ’wild chicken’ awards.

Many people have played minor roles for countless years, only to rise to fame overnight after winning the Best Actress Magnolia Award, quickly becoming active in the entertainment circle.

Back then, a female star Z had been a side character for ten years, constantly maligned and scorned by numerous people, yet she completely turned her life around by winning the Best Actress Magnolia Award and now boasts forty million fans as a skilled and popular actress.

Winning the Magnolia Award naturally proves her acting skills are top-notch!

The Magnolia Award is definitely the dream of every star who’s just a step away from making it big!

Lu Shui pushed open the door of the rest room to find Huang Ningyue lying on the sofa, her shoulders trembling faintly.

Lu Shui sighed softly, stepped forward and patted his artist’s shoulder to comfort her.

"I’ve told you before, relying purely on talent isn’t enough to stand out in this industry. Without understanding some tricks of the trade, you’ll keep missing out on many opportunities."

Huang Ningyue didn’t speak, but her fingers slowly clenched.

"Lu Shui, you’re right, I was indeed too naive before," Huang Ningyue felt incredibly frustrated. Although she doesn’t have Qiao Xiaren’s good looks, her effort and acting skills aren’t far behind. Why can’t she become as famous as her!

The last time I confessed to Chu Yifei, it took so much courage only to be ruthlessly rejected.

She couldn’t understand why all the bad things seemed to happen to her.

"Alright, from now on, just listen to me, and I promise to develop you to a level similar to Qiao Xiaren," Lu Shui comforted her, his lips curling into a smile, "I’ve seen the videos and photos of you and Qiao Xiaren at the last Magnolia Award ceremony. While the topic of the Magnolia Award involving Qiao Xiaren is still hot, we can really play on this!"

"Magnolia Award?"

Huang Ningyue was a bit confused. Lu Shui pulled out his phone and showed her the photos from the gallery.

The photo was probably taken at the event. The award ceremony seemed somewhat dim. Sitting next to Qiao Xiaren on her right was a very controversial actress, He Sha, formerly an ultra-popular star admired by many but gradually tainted with numerous scandals after being slandered.

In the photo, Qiao Xiaren and He Sha were chatting animatedly, while I seemed rather awkward.

At the venue, Qiao Xiaren didn’t seem interested in talking to me, and on my left was a big-name male star I didn’t dare approach.

Just then, the camera swept over, catching He Sha with an awkward smile for the camera.

"Is this a photo from the Magnolia Awards?"

Lu Shui nodded, "I’ve already figured out how to play this up. We previously hyped you and Qiao Xiaren as best friends. This photo is perfect to contradict that. Look how sympathetic you appear in the photo, being neglected by a so-called best friend, and trying to talk to another big-name actress."

With this, Lu Shui’s lips spread into a smug smile.

This sort of revelation ought to catch the attention of the media and the public, and might even give us a chance to smear Qiao Xiaren. Not only neglecting our Ningyue but also enjoying a lively chat with another top actress, doesn’t this precisely prove the earlier point of favoring some while despising others?
