Love Comes After Marriage novel Chapter 589

The Best Newcomer Award!

How many people inside and outside of the venue were waiting for this award?

"Following on, we will be presenting the winners of the Best Newcomer Award. Please welcome our guests: the president of the film association and one of the nation's best directors, Mr Zhang Qingping; as well as the honorary chairwoman of Times Media, Ms Rong Xiuhua; to the stage."

As the crowd erupted in an applause and watched the two important personalities appear on the stage, there was a deeper meaning to quite a few people's smiles. No matter how popular this award was, they couldn't lose sight of the bigger picture. They couldn't allow the most important Best Actress/Actor awards to be overshadowed by the Best Newcomer Award.

"Mr Zhang is a much respected senior in the industry..." Rong Xiuhua clapped her hands.

"And Ms Rong has produced a lot of miracles in the film industry," the old man smiled. "But, the film industry now is definitely a lot different to how it was back in our time."

"Why would you say that?"

"Real actors are becoming scarce, whereas those that only know how to flirt and suck up are increasing. Stotytellers are dying out, whereas those that deceive the audience are growing in numbers. Cheap graphics are everywhere, but ticket sales are still through the roof. I am struggling to understand the way that this generation judges quality. Perhaps I am getting old..." the old man laughed in self-ridicule.

"Let's take this Best Newcomer Award for example. Although newcomers deserve encouragement, shouldn't the public's attention be focused on those that have spent a lifetime dedicated to acting?"

"I am especially disgusted by those that decide to become an actor just because they can't survive in their own industry. Acting is indeed a money-making profession, but people like this, end up skewing the public's judgment and is not healthy for the development of the industry."

"You are indeed a straightforward senior..." Rong Xiuhua said awkwardly.

His words were much too obvious and direct.

All that was missing was for him to mention Tangning's name!

He was from the previous generation and had achieved a lot, but he was arrogant and ignored the current market trends, even though Tangning was practically aloof from the world like a monk.

"I won't say any more, we should focus on presenting the award. Over the years, the awards that have been handed over from my hands has never been this cheap," Zhang Qingping spoke without showing any mercy and naturally attracted a lot of hatred...

"The winner of the 37th Annual Fei Tian Award for The Best Newcomer is..."

The spotlight suddenly alternated between Tangning and the other nominees as everyone held their breaths and stared intently at the image on the screen.

Tangning felt unusually nervous so she began to hold nervously to Mo Ting's hand.

Mo Ting's heart ached as he looked at the nervous expression on her face. He subconsciously held onto her hand and rubbed it comfortingly.

"...Tangning from 'W.H.'!"

Seeing this result, everyone was overcome with complex emotions. The result seemed both expected, yet also surprising.

Tangning also felt quite complex. She knew that to outsiders, she didn't seem to deserve this award. Otherwise, Zhang Qingping would not have said what he did.
