Three Combs: Chapter 43.1

[Previous][Table of Contents][Next]

That night, Fu Ting Chuan appeared at the Flying Eagle Awards ceremony.

Because his nomination was for the highly-rated anti-Japanese war film, he specially combed his hair to the same style as the main protagonist he plays in the film.

If he were to don the same gold-rimmed glasses, he can easily return to the suspenseful and thrilling story.

When Fu Ting Chuan arrived, he walked down the red carpet. He didn’t bring a female companion which is fitting since the attention will only be focused on him.

He waved his hand and fans from both sides erupted into screams.

As usual, the man is wearing a white button-down and a black suit. The whole person looks meticulous, clean, tall, and upright.

However, his attire today seemed different from before. This time, his trousers are slightly shorter by a few centimeters which shows his ankle and his black lace-up leather shoes add a bit of youthfulness.

With the approaching Christmas holiday, instead of pairing the look with a classic tie and pocket square, he instead wore a simple snowman brooch.

It was pinned on the left collar, looking very chic and appropriate for the season.

The flashing white lights continued. Jiang Tiao, Xu Che, and the studio’s personal photographer moved to the sidelines.

They followed Fu Ting Chuan’s pace and took as many pictures as they can while they enter the venue together.

Fu Ting Chuan is all the way in the front, while they, his accompanying staff, were seated all the way at the back.

So, even though she is excited and wants to watch the ceremony carefully in the front, she can only endure it.

The entire time she waited for the ceremony to start, Jiang Tiao had been holding her hands together and praying, moving back and forth.

Xu Che noticed her hands’ movement and commented, “Sister Jiang, why are you so nervous? It seems as if you are the one being nominated for an award instead.”

“You don’t understand,” Jiang Tiao sat upright, “It’s very nerve-racking.”

“Sure enough, only people like me who have experienced all kinds of violent storms and rains can remain calm,” Xu Che sighed and brushed away a piece of hair, “It doesn’t matter if he gets the award or not….”

Jiang Tiao looked at him askance, “Really? It’s fine if he doesn’t win?”

Xu Che pinched the middle of his brows, “It’s fine, we will just have a brawl when we get back to the studio.”

Jiang Tiao, “.....”

Although she remained silent, she knows Xu Che is simply joking and trying to ease her heart.

After the short yet grand opening ceremony ended, the four hosts walked out to the stage.

Two men, and two women, all are CCTV’s top artists. Listening to their eloquent words, the venue was filled with laughter.

Her nerves start to die down and Jiang Tiao’s heart slowly loosened.

Soon, a spotlight hit one of the hosts.

The staff members changed to Li Mai who officially announced the start of the ceremony.

The Flying Eagle Awards is divided into best series, best screenwriter, best director, best actor, best actress, best music, best visual, and more.

The criteria for each award are strict. Combined with the selection and praise from the audience, there is also recognition from the government.

The war drama that Fu Ting Chuan filmed had several nominations.

As for the shortlist of best actor candidates this year, besides Fu Ting Chuan, there are two actors who have been active on screen for a long time. They are older than him and their reputation and fame is longer.

So…..the competition is intense.

On the way to the ceremony, Chen Lu had said to be calm.

In the end, after arriving at the scene, this big agent who was comforting everyone didn’t dare get off the car and said she will wait for the announcement outside….

“You have to cheer him on!” Before they separated, she grabbed Jiang Tiao’s arms and told her this.

……

Even though “Gray” did not snag the best screenwriter award, the good news is, it won the best director award.

When Director Li went onstage to receive the award, Jiang Tiao was finally able to look at Fu Ting Chuan.

––––This is the first time she laid eyes on him since entering the venue.

Because the people in the crew stood up and applauded their leader.

With Fu Ting Chuan’s tall stature, he was easily recognized at one glance.

As time passed by, the presenter of the best actor award appeared onstage.

The presenter is also an acquaintance. The previous winner of the award, was Fu Ting Chuan’s senior sister, Zhang Qiu Feng.

She wore a long metallic dress revealing her smooth back.

As she walked, it looked like liquid mercury flowing on her body, graceful and charming.

The goddess held the winner’s envelope in her hand and said a few words.

After the applause and laughter, Zhang Qiu Feng cleared her throat and put on a serious face, looking like she is about to announce the best actor of the year.

Her smile was beautiful. Jiang Tiao couldn’t help but look up at the screen in fascination.

However, her heart is still beating rapidly.

“So, the best actor of the Flying Eagle award is–––

Zhang Qiu Feng frowned, and for the sake of suspense, she drew out the time, “Who can it be––––”

The venue is filled with suspense.

“Fu Ting Chuan!”

She smiled and shouted out his name.

The scene was filled with thunderous applause.
