ing silent.With the worry off her mind, she felt more relaxed. She slept until evening when a call from the visa office informed her that her paperwork was almost complete and there were no issues wit...Chapter 224 Award Ceremony
Warm gave a warm, playful glance and said, "Can you assure me You don’t even know who the judges are"
"If I don't win the Golden Newcomer Award, I’ll castrate myself as an apology."
Warm couldn't help but giggle and tease him, "You’re willing to go that far"
Ye Feimo replied expressionlessly, "I’m afraid you won’t be able to do it."
"Get lost!" Warm laughed and scolded, for a lecher like him, self-castration is indeed an evil form of punishment; she would reluctantly believe him since she also had her own thoughts.
Anyway, many awards each year were manipulated by those in high places, so who to support was entirely up to them. Even if Gu Xiaobei didn't have much influence, Ye Feimo certainly did. If he promised it, there wouldn’t be any problem.
In reality, saying she didn't care about winning an award was a lie; after all, it was a form of recognition. Although she knew that this time’s win had some artificiality to it, she was still happy. Nowadays, even public voting awards were somewhat manipulated, let alone this one.
Initially, she believed in making her way to the top of the entertainment industry through her own efforts; however, after experiencing many things, her thoughts changed. The directors, artists, and staff members she first encountered vaguely taught her a lot.
No matter it was Chen Xueru, Zhuo Bingbing, or Gu Yiting, Bai Xiwen, they all showed her the dark side of the industry. Although Chen Xueru had beauty and acting skills, in the end, she was still hidden away for several years. Bai Xiwen, Gu Yiting, and others were at the peak of their fame, but suddenly disappeared without a trace; it’s said that they ended up selling themselves, with no one daring to hire them for roles.
Cai Xiaojing usually wouldn’t let her get exposed to too dark things and would try to avoid letting her encounter such situations. Warm understood this in her heart, but Cai Xiaojing couldn't follow her around the clock to protect her here.
So she still hears a lot of gossip in this circle, like who is being kept by someone, what they received, who the judges are at award ceremonies, which celebrities and directors are getting close, which male stars have relationships with wealthy women, how much it costs for someone to accompany her while eating, and there's even involvement from the underworld; many of the artists are drug addicts. Various dark aspects she can't comprehend.
She has been well protected until now, only encountering peaceful producers, no one dared to be indecent towards her, neither inside nor outside, and when a businessman invited her for dinner, there was no need for her to attend as Cai Xiaoqing could handle it. Once during an advertisement discussion with a director-producer where she was touched on her thigh, Cai Xiaoqing firmly dealt with the situation; she knew that without Ye Feimo's backing, relying solely on Cai Xiaoqing wouldn't be able to protect her so meticulously.
Once you become slightly famous and are seen as an innocent young lady on screen, youthful and beautiful, with a good figure, there will be many people with hidden intentions. They were all shielded by someone for her; she was also aware of this even though Ye Feimo never mentioned it, making her think that everything was due to Cai Xiaoqing's efforts.
Initially naive, thinking it was the manager’s doing, since Cai Xiaoqing had extensive connections and handled these matters well. Later on, she gradually understood that without Ye Feimo's protection, just relying on Cai Xiaoqing daring to confront a gang boss would have resulted in her being dismembered and thrown into the sea.
However, this guy was quiet like a mute gourd; he never talked about what he did.
The important thing is that she remembers it in her heart.
To worry about such things now would be pretentious. She has started to understand that among the countless people out there, meeting him was her good fortune.
Without him, she probably would have needed three or four years to reach her current status.
"What are your plans for New Year's Eve"
"I don't really have any plans; I'm going to spend it with my family. What about you" Warm glanced at him, a week away from New Year's Eve, usually spending it at home as was the custom.
Ye Feimo thought for a moment and said: "Father and Mother are going to Rome, my brother and sister-in-law are also going; I'm planning on going too. Do you want to go"
"You're all going as a family, why would I come along" Warm smiled slightly and tilted her head in thought, "Your home is strange; how can one spend New Year's in Rome Isn't it usual to spend it at home
"My aunt is in Rome."
Warmth didn't ask further. Ye Feimo wanted her to go with him; he would be away for a week and probably wouldn't return until the ninth day of the first lunar month. "Why don’t you come along"
."
"No, I need to spend time with my parents. Since working, I've never had time to accompany them. During the New Year holiday, I must be there for them. Maybe next time," Warmth said with a smile. Ye Feimo didn't force her.
"Oh yes, go and pay respects to your teacher during the holiday." Ye Feimo smiled and said, "Cheng Yu has helped you quite a bit; many students will visit him for New Year greetings this year. You should also go."
"I know that. No need to remind me," Warmth replied with a smile. "Certainly I’ll pay my respects to the teacher. I think Man Dong will probably come too."
Ye Feimo nodded, "You’re becoming more savvy."
Ye Feimo was driving while Warmth was on her phone. As soon as she went online, she saw news about today’s film critic awards in City A all over the web. Frowning, she shut off her phone again; Ye Feimo glanced at her just as she looked up and smiled slightly before closing out of the webpage.
The car parked downstairs from the apartment building. As soon as Ye Feimo unbuckled his seatbelt, Warmth came over and hugged his arm affectionately, rubbing her head against his shoulder, "Ye Feimo, thank you."
Ye Feimo raised an eyebrow and reached out to ruffle her hair with a smile, asking, "For what"
"Everything!" Warmth laughed. With a teasing raised brow, Ye Feimo’s gaze swept over her body; his dark eyes flashed a hint of darkness. "I wouldn't mind if you showed your gratitude in another way."
Warmth lifted her head to glare at him angrily. This guy was a real lecher and kept thinking about such things.
However, she squinted her eyes and smiled, leaning close to him with a smile, "It's possible, but... This time, I'll take the lead."
Ye Feimo's gaze brightened. "Good girl, you got it. Then I'll indulge you this once and let you have your way."
On their way back, Tang Shuwen and Chen Xier talked about the Golden Seal Awards. From Tang Shuwen’s tone, it seemed that Warmth had no problem securing those two awards at the Golden Seal Awards, but the title of Best Actress was still uncertain.
However, for Warmth to win an award in her first year at the Golden Seal Awards was already a great honor.
This kind of glory was rarely experienced by others.
Tang Shuwen smiled and asked, "What about you Best Supporting Actress"
Chen Xier shook her head with a smile. "No need to worry about that. Anning can't monopolize all the awards; it would be difficult for you if she did. Besides, I’ve already won Best Supporting Actress before, and there’s no point in winning it again. Whether or not I win an award doesn’t really matter anymore."
Her life was currently very peaceful and joyful, with her only regret being that her son wasn't well yet. She didn't place much importance on awards; while it was good to receive recognition, she wouldn't lose anything if she didn't.
She was different from Warmth, who was still in a rising phase of her career and was new to the industry. Chen Xier had passed that stage.
"You really don’t need it"
"I really don’t need it." Chen Xier smiled faintly as Tang Shuwen smiled gently, then thought about New Year’s Eve and asked, "Xier, the Lunar New Year is approaching. Do you want to go pay respects to your parents" was resentment and loneliness, suspicion and uncertainty. He knew that he was selfish, so now he alone endured this desolation and...The happiness of these ten years was stolen; knowing it wasn’t fai...
