Jiang Mian, as the leading lady, naturally got up to congratulate Bai Yu.
Bai Yu smiled, his voice light, "I look forward to being on stage with Teacher Jiang later."
Jiang Mian smiled politely, "I hope to be as fortunate as Teacher Bai."
It wasn't true that she wasn't nervous. When Bai Yu was up there giving his acceptance speech, Jiang Mian clasped her hands together, suppressing the anxiety within.
Luo Ting stood backstage, watching the fleeting shots on the director's screen, and felt a bit nervous too. "Jiang Xiaomian is nervous too."
The screen on stage switched, introducing each nominee for Best Actress one by one.
The presenter, a seasoned veteran actress, opened the envelope, her smile amiable as she glanced around at the audience.
Jiang Mian's hands involuntarily tightened.
"The Best Actress award goes to—"
"Let us congratulate Guan Xinyu."
The audience erupted into enthusiastic applause.
