CTTT Chapter 110.3

Jiang Ting walked onto the stage as if in a dream. She shook hands with Mr. Dou Guan, the Vice Chairman of the National Holographic Gold Awards, and the other party presented her with a trophy and certificate.

“Congratulations! The future generations are awesome.” Mr. Dou Guan said with a smile.

Jiang Ting shook her head repeatedly: “You praised me.”

The two people exchanged a few words, and Jiang Ting delivered her acceptance speech. She leaned closer to the microphone, took a deep breath, and said.

“I feel like I’m still dreaming. I didn’t expect that I would win the Best Newcomer Director Award. Sorry, let me sort myself out first.” After that, Jiang Ting stopped talking and continued to take deep breaths, trying to calm down her overly excited mood.

The audience burst into violent applause again, cheering her on.

“Come on!” Someone shouted, which was part of Jiang Ting’s former movie fans.

After hearing this, Jiang Ting smiled, got ready, and continued.

“Everyone knows that I was an actor before, but when I planned to change my career to a director, everyone couldn’t believe it and was not optimistic about it, including my agent.”

“I would like to thank many people for this. First of all, I would like to thank my boss, Ms. Bai Ling. She has made a great contribution. If it weren’t for her, this film would probably go bankrupt.”

The camera swept to Bai Ling, and the whole audience burst into laughter. Then, Jiang Ting continued.

“Secondly, there are several leading teachers. Their superb acting skills created the core of this film. Although I went to beg them one by one to act in this film, some people even refused to let me in when they heard that it was a historical film…”

The camera then shifted to an ordinary old gentleman, who played the domineering founding emperor in ‘The Prosperous Dynasty’, which was very different from his reality.

When the old gentleman saw Jiang Ting teasing him, he was not angry and gave Jiang Ting a thumbs up very calmly.

Seeing the interaction between the two people, the audience burst into laughter again.

“I would also like to thank my agent, Ms. Chen Na, who could not come to the scene. Thank you for helping me as always. I owe her a lot over the years.”

“Finally, I would like to thank all the staff behind the scenes and all the actors who have appeared in ‘The Prosperous Dynasty’ for your hard work. I don’t know how you have endured it for three years. If I had accepted this role, I might have given up on it long ago.”

Her words caused everyone in her team to laugh. Jiang Ting was telling the truth.

After all, it took three years to shoot a movie, which was indeed too long. The manpower, material, and financial resources consumed were unimaginable.

The prop master almost made Jiang Ting go crazy with the torture. Fifty well-known stars participated in the performance. After many of them finished filming their parts, then they took on another film. However after the performance, they found that Jiang Ting’s film had not been completed yet. They were so speechless.

Fortunately, Jiang Ting succeeded!

Everyone at the scene gave her warm applause.

“Finally, thank you to the fans who watched ‘The Prosperous Dynasty’ and to the fans who have always supported me. This is my first movie, and it may also be my last movie. I handed in an answer that you are quite satisfied with. Thank you all!”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Ting bowed, turned around, took a photo with Mr. Dou Guan, the award-winning presenter, and prepared to leave the stage.

However—

[WARNING! The player’s body is about to collapse! After 10 seconds, we will enter the next round of the Variety Show Competition. Now we will enter the countdown…]

After Jiang Ting heard it, she glanced at Bai Ling and other people in the audience who were still looking forward to seeing the trophy. Regardless of the surprise of everyone in the audience, she started trotting from the stage.

[10, 9, 8…]

She was getting closer and closer to Bai Ling’s position.

At the last moment, Jiang Ting handed the trophy and award certificate to Bai Ling. She smiled, her eyes gentle, but with a touch of regret, which made people even more heartbroken.

On the big screen, the camera captured this beautiful scene.

[…3, 2, 1. The player automatically enters the next round of the Variety Show Competition.]

Immediately afterward, Jiang Ting’s body softened. She completely collapsed on the ground.

In an instant, the entire award ceremony was stunned.

Two hours later, Star Entertainment announced the sad news that Ms. Jiang Ting, who had just won the 89th National Holographic Film Gold Award for Best Newcomer Director, passed away due to illness.

The news shocked the entire entertainment industry.
