Chapter 914: The Entire Internet Was Astonished (1)

Twelve years ago, veteran actress Dou Yiyue was nominated for the Nine Realms Award for her urban drama “Against the Light.”

Although she didn’t win Best Actress, her status in the Great Xia TV drama circle was unshakable, far surpassing Tong Luoyun.

Tong Luoyun was indeed one of the four top young actresses, but she was still struggling to break into the international scene.

The news came from the official Nine Realms Awards website, leaving no room for doubt. Netizens were astonished.

Since the invention of the camera, the Graet Xia Empire had only had four actors nominated for the Nine Realms Awards, with Si Fuqing being the fourth.

And “Crossing the Demon Realm” was her first TV series.

Such an achievement was something other actors could only dream of.

[Wow?! Si Fuqing is about to become an international Best Actress?]

[It’s just a nomination, just a nomination. Let’s stay calm. I checked this year’s Nine Realms Award nominees, and they are all top-notch actors from various countries. They are all excellent. Being nominated is already impressive! But Qingqing is the youngest one!]

[On the surface: Stay calm, be low-key. Inside: Brag! If not now, then when?]

[Look, my wife got nominated for the Nine Realms Award with a ‘morally incorrect’ TV series. Some seniors should be able to get a Nine Realms Award too, right? Why haven’t they? Don’t they want to?]

#Si Fuqing, Too Ambitious was still trending.

Underneath were numerous statements from Golden Flower Award Best Actor and Best Actress winners supporting the Golden Flower Awards panel of judges and Tong Luoyun.

Before the news of Si Fuqing’s Nine Realms Award nomination broke, these actors’ fans echoed the sentiment, claiming Si Fuqing was overly ambitious.

Award decisions inherently carried a subjective bias, with each judge having different tastes. Why demand that the Golden Flower Awards panel of judges also like “Crossing the Demon Realm”?

This view garnered a lot of support.

But once the news of Si Fuqing’s Nine Realms Award nomination came out, those voices fell silent, as quiet as chickens.

Public opinion flipped entirely.

The Nine Realms Awards’ professionalism was beyond comparison to the Golden Flower Awards. Si Fuqing’s nomination made the Golden Flower Awards panel of judges’ statement a joke.

[Don’t delete it, why delete it? Have some spine. If you want to suck up to the Golden Flower Awards, do it openly. Deleting it makes you look bad.]

“Look, Si Fuqing got a Nine Realms Award nomination with her first TV series. I think you should go win a Nine Realms Award for Best Actor too, right?]

[Tong Luoyun should be bringing home several Nine Realms Award Best Actress trophies, right? Not winning would be a disservice to her two Golden Flower Awards.]

The Golden Flower Awards panel of judges was mocked relentlessly.

Their announcement remained pinned, but the comments had surpassed 100,000 and continued to grow.

Netizens, loving the drama, left countless comments.

[You say Si Fuqing lacks emotion and is all about flashy skills. Seems the Nine Realms Awards panel of judges isn’t up to par, huh? Oh, just an international Best Actress nomination, just flashy skills, no big deal.]

[Hilarious. The Golden Flower Awards shot themselves in the foot. They’ve ruined their reputation. Let’s see who dares to participate in the Golden Flower Awards now. Winning will just make you a laughingstock.]

[I don’t get the Golden Flower Awards’ intention. Suppressing newcomers for the sake of seniors, losing their credibility in the process. What’s the point?]

Si Fuqing was unaware of the online commotion. She went to deliver her latest photo album to Yu Tang in the morning, accompanied by Yu Xiheng.

“Qingqing!” Yu Tang was delighted, hugging her tightly. “I missed you so much.”

“I missed you too.” Si Fuqing patted her back. “Enjoy the OPL when it starts. I have some things to handle. Your Ninth Uncle will keep you company for a while.”

“Okay, Qingqing, you go ahead.” Yu Tang glanced at Yu Xiheng and coughed. “I have some family matters to discuss with Ninth Uncle.”

Si Fuqing nodded.

Yu family matters were not her place to interfere.

“Uncle Nine, I’m not used to this.” After Si Fuqing left, Yu Tang lowered her voice. “Qingqing and I are the same age. I’m even her mom fan. If one day I have to call her Aunt Nine, how will I manage that?”

Yu Xiheng’s tone was cool. “You can start getting used to it now.”

Yu Tang: “…”

A few seconds later, she loudly accused, “No wonder Qingqing calls you a black-hearted monster!”

Yu Xiheng closed his eyes, his expression unchanged. “Pocket money deducted.”

Yu Tang burst into tears. “Boohoo, Uncle Nine, I’m sorry.”

But she knew Yu Xiheng was always cold on the outside but soft on the inside, never shortchanging her in terms of food and clothing.
