Chapter 150 - Queen of Picking Up Scraps
Chapter 150: Queen of Picking Up Scraps
Bai Rong turned to look at Huang Yi. “What? These are the rules of the competition. Are you just being a sore loser?”
Huang Yi gritted her teeth. “I don’t believe that you can rely on good and black publicity to win other awards later on.”
The other awards were all based on real talent.
It was different from the new talent award.
There was a big reason why the new talent award was based on traffic and not on their work.
The main thing was that this award had originally been given to several rookies who did not have much fame.
Giving an award to an actor who was not famous but had good acting skills did not garner any publicity.
On the contrary, hiring a rookie actor who had the most traffic would get a lot of attention.
It was because of this consideration that the evaluation criteria was so unusual.
Only the traffic generated by the artiste was considered and nothing else.
However, they did not dare to do the same for other awards.
If the best actor award was given to an actor who did not garner much traffic, then it would be meaningless.
Suddenly, there was a commotion among the organizers.
Many staff members jogged backstage and discussed something.
When they had entered the venue, everyone’s phones had been required to be in flight mode.
Therefore, Bai Rong and Fang Mo’er were also confused.
After the organizers came out, they subconsciously looked at Bai Rong.
Then, they looked at Fang Mo’er.
The two of them were confused.
In the live broadcast room, everyone saw Fang Mo’er’s confused expression and started discussing.
“Fang Mo’er’s fortune is extremely good today. The entire venue is focused on her gown, and she even managed to get first place. She’s really lucky!”
“It looks like Bai Rong will have nothing to do with this awards ceremony!”
The emcee went on stage and dragged out the time to allow one of the guests to perform a song.
Only then did they start to prepare for the awards ceremony.
Suddenly, the third-place winner rushed over.
It was an actor.
When he found out that he had risen by one place, he had rushed over.
He was still wearing casual clothes from home and was sweating profusely as he stood below the stage and waited.
“Next up, the third-place winner of the new talent award, Wang Feng.”
The crowd erupted in applause.
Huang Yi, who was about to go on stage, had already stood up.
She stared at the podium in shock.
What was going on?
Why had the third-place winner been replaced?
Fang Mo’er was also dumbfounded. “Could it be that someone overtook her at the last minute?”
Huang Yi was extremely embarrassed and quickly sat down. She could not care less about the rule of not playing with her phone and immediately logged into the rookie rankings.
When she saw the latest rankings, she heaved a sigh of relief.
It was not that she had been pushed down, it was that she had been promoted.
On the other side, Fang Mo’er turned her head and looked over. When she saw the first-place ranking, her heart skipped a beat.
It couldn’t be, she was actually ranked first.
What about Bai Rong?
The two of them looked at the rankings from top to bottom several times, but they did not see Bai Rong’s name.
Next, the host presented the award to the second-place winner.
The camera lens landed on Huang Yi.
Hence, the audience in the live broadcast room saw Fang Mo’er and Huang Yi almost huddled together. The two of them stared at each other on their phones.
Both of them were dumbfounded.
After Huang Yi had been called out, she quickly stood up and went on stage in excitement.
Bai Rong frowned.
Why was the change in ranking so strange?
Had Fang Mo’er also been pushed down?
What was her ranking now?
Bai Rong took out her phone in a panic.
The moment she turned off her flight mode, she realized that she had received many missed calls.
She did not have time to look at the news and quickly went to look at the rankings.
However, she realized that her name was no longer on the rankings.
Huang Yi was still excitedly giving her acceptance speech.
On the other hand, Bai Rong’s face was ashen.
She stood up angrily and walked to the organizers to negotiate with them.
However, it had been her company that had taken the initiative to forfeit her right to participate.
As an artiste of the company, Bai Rong could only respect the company’s decision.
Before she could witness Fang Mo’er win the award, Bai Rong left in a huff.
The reporters outside were prepared to fire their questions.
“She’s out!”
“Bai Rong, do you really want to terminate your contract with the company?”
“The company has temporarily canceled your selection event. What do you have to say now?”
“If you don’t win the championship, will the contract with Haotian Entertainment go on?”
Bai Rong’s eyes reddened. “I feel sorry for Mu Chen, but I’ve done my best at work. I didn’t expect him to not be able to separate business from personal affairs. He’s trying to ban me even though the other company was willing to pay the penalty for breach of contract. He’s just trying to kill my career!
“Let me ask you, I’m just an artiste. If I really gave birth to a child, should I really have had to put my acting career on hold just like that? I did bear a grudge against Fang Mo’er, but all of that was because after Fang Mo’er had broken up with Mu Chen, she still found an opportunity to stay in the company and flirt with Mu Chen. Everyone has seen how much Mu Chen cared about Fang Mo’er on the show!
“Do I deserve to give up my career as a woman and marry a man who can’t promise me a future?”
Since they had already fallen out, Bai Rong spared no effort to throw dirt onto Mu Chen.
She had just labeled Mu Chen as an unfaithful sc*mbag.
