Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

The Golden Statue Award is considered the most prestigious award in Hua Country.

It's specifically aimed at the film industry.

Those rated as the best male and female leads in the current quarter are entitled to the titles of Movie Emperor and Empress.

Back then, He Yun succeeded in winning the title of Movie Emperor with a spy-war film.

The award ceremony was held at the TV station building.

This building was newly constructed and sponsored by investors.

It's very grand.

Before the sun even set, the area beside the red carpet in front of the media skyscraper was crowded with various media.

Cameras of all sorts were set up early.

Soon after, luxury cars started parking in front of the building one after another.

Stars dressed in haute couture stepped out of the cars one by one.

The fragrance of perfumes mixed with the glimmer of lights portrayed an extravagant scene.

There was a decadent sense of indulgence.

"I wonder which film will be crowned King of the Movies this year?"

"Director Zhang's 'Night Walk' is quite good, with great reputation all around."

"But it's a power-struggle film, and the box office can't keep up. How can it compare to 'Doomsday Beehive'?"

"But Shao Changqing is a new director after all. Can he really have this strength?"

"Hush, don't talk, that xxx is here. Quick, shoot!"

Jiang Li had already taken a leave from her teacher earlier and had gotten ready to come.

She and Jiang Yan took the same car.

As soon as she got in the car, she smelled a pungent scent of perfume.

Jiang Li frowned and sat in the passenger seat.

"Jiang Yan, have you lost your mind? Wearing so much perfume?"

Jiang Yan took out a small mirror and checked himself left and right.

"This is my first time being nominated for the Golden Statue Awards. Of course, I have to dress up."

He then looked at his manager.

"How do I look, is it okay?"

The manager, being his complete bootlicker, said,

"Bro, you look too handsome, flawless."

"Right? That's what I thought too."

Jiang Li: "......"

The car soon arrived at the TV station building.

The car door hadn't even opened, and the cameras outside almost squeezed in.

"It's Jiang Li and Jiang Yan!"

"Is Jiang Yan nominated for Best Actor this year?"

"Yes, after all, 'Doomsday Beehive' has two male leads."

"Quick, shoot, shoot!"

Jiang Li lifted her skirt and slowly got out of the car, causing another wave of exclamations.

Today, she was wearing a gown designed by Lin Manru, which integrated Chinese style, with a gold-threaded hemline, making it particularly glamorous under the lights.

Originally, Jiang Li wanted to dress more low-key.

But Lin Manru insisted today was an important day and refused to compromise, bringing out her most treasured design.

Jiang Yan's suit was coordinated with hers, even having a gold shirt underneath, flamboyant yet with a dandy flair.

Such a style is rare in the entertainment industry, and he immediately trended hot on the internet.

The two walked into the venue arm in arm on the red carpet.

Shao Changqing and the others had arrived early and specifically saved seats for them.

Jiang Li looked and found they were quite upfront.

Shao Changqing looked refreshed, a stark contrast to his previous distressed youth appearance. Wearing a high-fashion suit and a well-groomed hairstyle, he looked quite sharp.

"Look, we are surrounded by top directors and actors. If our crew hadn't had a considerable box office, who knows where we would have been seated."

Luo Xingmu sipped his wine and laughed, "Director, you are too modest. With 7 billion at the box office, you've already made history."

Shao Changqing scratched his head in embarrassment, "Isn't this all thanks to Miss Jiang?"

Bai Lu nervously moved closer to Jiang Li.

"Lili, I'm so nervous. Even though I'm just nominated, I'm still so nervous."

She was playing minor roles in TV dramas for years.

Suddenly, she became the leading lady in a 7-billion-dollar box office hit.

Something she couldn't have imagined before!

Jiang Li patted her hand and smiled, "Don't be nervous. You must believe that hard work pays off."

Soon, the lights dimmed, and the host went on stage.

The opening speech, as always, reviewed film history and highlighted some of this year's hit movies.

Thanks to Jiang Yan's thick skin and chatter, their group was mentioned several times.

Then came the awards for supporting roles.

'Doomsday Beehive' did well and won Best Supporting Actress.

The recipient was also a rookie actress, with an oval face, and she ran offstage, crying, to give Shao Changqing a bear hug.

"Boohoo, Director, my dream has come true, my dream has come true."

Shao Changqing could only comfort her.

"It's not just about dreams, there's still the Best Actress award. You can do it."

Speak of the devil, the next award was for Best Actress.

Presenting the award were two veterans.

At the moment she saw her name in the nominations list, Bai Lu grasped Jiang Li's hand.

"I feel like throwing up!"

Competing against her were all veteran bigwigs.

How could she possibly stand a chance!

—"Let's congratulate Bai Ying!"

Bai Lu felt crushed.

"Haha, indeed, a small role like me could never win such an award."

Jiang Yan looked at her like she was an idiot.

"Bai, do you really not know what your name is now?"

Bai Lu suddenly realized.

Oh right!

Her name is now Bai Ying!

It was even Jiang Li who gave her that name!

She looked ahead, and sure enough, there was a still of her from 'Doomsday Beehive' on the screen.

The presenter was still reading her award speech: ".....On the surface, she's cold-blooded and decisive, but in reality, she's the kindest-hearted girl in the protagonist group, and Bai Ying portrays this character perfectly....."

Bai Lu's tears burst forth.

The following events became a blur.

She only remembered walking on stage with a vacant mind, forgetting all the pre-prepared acceptance speech and just stood there shedding tears.

Afterward, she came down from the stage and hugged Jiang Li, crying for a long time.

"Lili, what do I do? Am I the most embarrassing Movie Empress in history?"

Jiang Yan made a silencing gesture.

"Alright, hug your Movie Empress trophy and cry in the back. It's time to present the Best Actor award now."

Honestly, he was a bit nervous.

After all, the competition for Best Actor this year was fierce.

Likewise, as a rookie, Luo Xingmu was also nominated alongside him.

Though Jiang Yan usually appeared carefree, he was relatively clear-headed about important matters.

He smiled and draped an arm over Luo Xingmu's shoulder.

"Remember to treat me tonight. I want to drink '82 Lafite!"

—"He's humorous and witty, flamboyant and wanton, yet portrayed a character of stark contrast. The audience was both frustrated and intrigued, but beneath the evil was a poignant backstory driven by destiny's unfairness. Who knows what colors lie behind his personal facade..."

Wait a minute.

Jiang Yan lifted his head.

Damn, this sounds a bit like him?!

Until he clearly heard his name resounding through the auditorium—

"He is 'Doomsday Beehive,' Jiang Yan!"

Luo Xingmu reversed the hold on his shoulder and laughed, "Looks like it's your turn to treat me to '82 Lafite."
