CTTT Chapter 110.1

Jiang Ting was in a daze, and soon, she heard Mr. Dou Guan’s announcement.

“Next, I will announce which of the four directors is the best new director, so stay tuned.”

As Mr. Dou Guan spoke, he opened an envelope in his hand. The camera was pointed at his face, for fear of missing the expression on his face.

“The winner of the 89th National Holographic Film Gold Award for Best Newcomer Director is…who is it?”

Everyone held their breath. Jiang Ting’s nervous hands began to tremble.

Bai Ling, who was next to her, squeezed her hand, cheered her up, and whispered. “It’s okay, it’s okay, we did our best.”

When Bai Ling supported Jiang Ting three years ago, she didn’t expect Jiang Ting to achieve such outstanding results. Especially at the box office, it was pushed and crushed all others the way.

No one would have thought that a debut film by a new director with a non-professional background would be so terrifying this year.

Although it was because there were few good works in the historical genre, such a terrifying box office was still really surprising.

By the time the movie ‘The Prosperous Dynasty’ was released, it had earned a total of 23.7 billion at the box office. Excluding the two national top directors, the box office was RMB 30.1 billion and RMB 27.9 billion respectively.

As a new director, Jiang Ting’s first movie made her the third director to top the domestic box office. Who would have dared to think that?

Even Chen Na, who never thought highly of her, didn’t dare to think about it.

Chen Na had a falling out with Jiang Ting because Jiang Ting changed careers. The two people had a cold war for a long time.

But, Jiang Ting was not an unreasonable person.

At the peak of her career, she switched to the directing industry with an uncertain future, which was a huge blow to Chen Na. In particular, Chen Na had been helping her conscientiously for seven years.

The age difference between the two of them was more than twice that of Jiang Ting. Jiang Ting usually treated the other party as an elder, so it was naturally impossible for the two of them to really fall out.

The cold war was still a cold war. But, Jiang Ting would run over to the other party whenever there was a holiday, even if the other party was sarcastic, she didn’t care.

In the past three years, no matter how angry Chen Na was, she was no longer angry. She cursed and supported Jiang Ting in her actions.

Jiang Ting made a comeback again. Although Chen Na was not optimistic about it, she still arranged publicity before and after the show. This was how Jiang Ting, as a new director, achieved a super performance of breaking 1 billion for her new work on the first day.

After all, if the publicity was not adequate, no matter how good the film was, the box office on the first day would not be much higher.

Now, it was finally time to check the results at the end of the year. At the award ceremony of the most valuable National Holographic Film Gold Award, Jiang Ting suddenly became nervous.

People were always greedy. Jiang Ting also had a high box office and wanted to win awards.

Even if it was just a small Newcomer Director Award, a trophy that was not worth mentioning in front of many top directors, it was an insurmountable hurdle for Jiang Ting.

Because–

“I don’t have enough time.” Jiang Ting smiled reluctantly.

Bai Ling’s face suddenly changed. She gritted her teeth and felt cold all over, but she still tried to comfort Jiang Ting.

“No…it’s okay. Maybe, maybe it will be fine…”

After speaking for a long time without saying the last half of the sentence, Jiang Ting interrupted her. “I can hold on. Don’t worry.”

On the podium, Mr. Dou Guan continued.

“Let us congratulate Director Lu Zimin for being the winner of the 89th National Holographic Film Gold Award for Best Newcomer Director…”
