A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 1027: Leverage!

After the award ceremony ended, Mu Yan was stopped by a group of media reporters for interviews and photos, and then the topic turned to her boyfriend."Did your boyfriend know you’d win an award today?"

Mu Yan smiled and said, "Whether I win or not, I didn’t dare to imagine beforehand. Of course, he wouldn’t know, but he should know now."

"Will you celebrate with your boyfriend after winning the award? Traveling or vacationing?"

"Probably not. I’m about to start filming my new movie."

...

After the interview, Mu Yan quickly rushed to the parking lot, afraid that someone was getting impatient waiting.

As soon as she got in the car, a bouquet of sunflowers appeared in front of her.

"Congratulations to you, my Best Actress."

Mu Yan took the flowers, smelled them, and looked at him, saying, "I realized you were here only when I was on stage. Why didn’t you tell me?"

"Wouldn’t telling you ruin the surprise?" Jiang Jingheng raised an eyebrow. "Don’t you say you’re very happy now."

"Mm." Mu Yan nodded, raising her hand to play with the sunflower petals in her hand.

The two stayed in R City for one night and rushed back to Upper City early the next morning.

The morning news was all about the Golden Hair Awards, and surprisingly, Mu Yan, who was only the Best Supporting Actress, received more attention than the Best Actor and Best Actress winners.

Perhaps it was because she had only debuted two years ago and had already appeared on the Golden Hair Awards stage twice, or maybe it was because of her bold words on stage striving to win the Best Actress crown, and of course, it could also be the "stepping on the long dress" incident.

The so-called "stepping on the long dress" incident happened when Zhou Lifen accidentally stepped on Mu Yan’s dress hem, almost causing her to fall.

If someone else had stepped on her dress, there might not have been so much attention, but it just had to be Zhou Lifen.

Everyone knows that she and Mu Yan have long-standing grievances. This time, saying it wasn’t intentional is something even bystanders wouldn’t believe.

In addition, just like at the last Venice Film Festival, Zhou Lifen lingered too long on the red carpet, also drawing ridicule from netizens.

"Why do I see this woman so often lately, wasn’t she said to be banned?"

"Luckily, Mu Yan wasn’t wearing a strapless dress, otherwise she would’ve been embarrassed. How malicious Zhou Lifen is."

"Some Best Actresses are now just ’carpet stars.’ There’s always something hateful about pitiful people."

...

The comments section under Zhou Lifen’s Weibo was flooded with angry scoldings from netizens.

Ever since her true colors became known to netizens, her millions of followers have turned into zombies, and her regular Weibo posts hardly receive any responses.

Now, under her latest Weibo post of red carpet photos, there was an outcry of curses, with people shouting for her to leave the entertainment industry, begging her not to appear anymore.

Although Zhou Lifen knew early on that netizens would curse her, being infamously famous is still fame, right? It’s better than fading into obscurity. But seeing the tens of thousands of slurs, she still couldn’t take it and simply turned off the Weibo comments.

As long as she reappears in the public eye, as long as those directors know Zhou Lifen is still in her prime, they will come to her for filming opportunities.

But she waited and waited, yet not a single opportunity came, gradually she couldn’t sit still anymore.

Audiences are inherently forgetful. She hasn’t had any work for a year now. If this continues, she really has no hope left.

Plus, some time ago, she was caught having an affair with a rich man, discovered by his wife. Now that rich man believes she wanted to usurp power and has cut ties with her, deciding not to support her anymore.

If she doesn’t take on a role soon, she won’t even be able to afford her rent.

Just as she’s falling into dire straits, some people’s careers are booming.

Back then, she wanted to star in Director Chen’s "The Best Time," but in the end, the role went to Mu Yan. Is this fate?

No, there’s still a way. She still has a bargaining chip in her hand that can make Mu Yan obediently help her.
