At the same time, in a three-story villa in the imperial capital, Dai Xiaoyue pulled out the TV plug with force - the live broadcast picture on the TV screen suddenly went out, turning from bright to dark.

"She's right. Her luck is always so good." Dai Xiaoyue kicked the doll beside the sofa away and said resentfully, "Why? How am I worse than her? Why didn't those arrogant old guys from Bai Yulan give me the award? Damn it..."

Chi Yu quietly removed the wine glasses from the coffee table without saying a word.

Award luck is actually such a mysterious thing. Some people have so many good resources that they can work with big directors like collecting stamps, but they are always unlucky to encounter a booming year for movies and never win anything at major award ceremonies; some people's acting skills may only get them nominated at best in a booming year for movies, but they just happen to encounter a year when the quality of films is not good enough, and they just happen to be the lucky ones who win awards...

Of course, there are also actors who have both good acting skills and good luck in winning awards, such as Su Lingxi, who belongs to this category.

But according to Chi Yu's observation, such actors are only a small number of lucky ones in the entertainment industry. If you insist on comparing your performance with them, it will only accelerate the collapse of your mentality.

Chi Yu spoke only after Dai Xiaoyue had vented her anger and calmed down.

"I've said it many times. You acted very well in City Girl. It's an improvement compared to your previous performance in idol dramas. You didn't get the Magnolia Award because the winners acted better than you. Hu Yue's Criminal Investigation was also more popular than City Girl and had a wider audience. Do you understand?"

Chi Yu has a pair of narrow eyes, and he always looks fierce when he is not smiling.

Dai Xiaoyue met his gaze, sobbed, wiped away her tears, and said nothing.

She actually wanted to ask why Fei Tian refused to even give her a nomination. Was her acting really that bad?

But she also knew that Chi Yu's answer would be no different from before - it didn't matter if she acted well, there would always be someone who acted better than her.

Humph, this guy has always been so ruthless and refuses to say even a nice word of flattery to her!

Thinking of the words he used to scold her, Dai Xiaoyue looked even more aggrieved: "Yeah, I don't know anything. Why would Mr. Chi, the manager, bother with someone as stupid as me?"

"Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? You still have to care about me, a burden, at a time like this. Aren't you feeling wronged?"

The more she spoke, the angrier she became. Her voice gradually began to sob: "Why don't you just give up on me with that group of higher-ups? It's no use trying to control me. Su Lingxi has already won the Golden Rooster Award. I'll never be able to catch up with her in my lifetime, wuwuwu..."

By the end of her speech, Dai Xiaoyue had gone from sobbing to crying loudly.

There are countless people in the entertainment industry who won the Best Supporting Actor award when they were over 20 years old. When she thought about Su Lingxi winning this award at the age of , she couldn't help but feel angry and anxious.

And those heartless old men in Huasheng, she must have made a lot of money for them, right? The Dai family turned their backs on her when something happened, and they were not even willing to lend her a dress!

Dai Xiaoyue cried more and more sadly, and even thought of her father lying in the ward.

She used to always blame him for favoring her sister and ignoring her, which was not good at all. Now that he can't protect her anymore, she realized how many times he had secretly helped her.

It was he who gave her the six-figure pocket money every month, it was he who gave her those properties, and he was even the one who helped her behind the scenes every time she snatched a role...Thanks to him, she was able to grow up smoothly in this family.

Now, as her father was critically ill, Dai Yunqing and Dai Yunting showed their true faces and kicked her out.

Dai Xiaoyue felt sad and confused when she thought about her plummeting living conditions: What should she do in the future? Should she stay in Huasheng and be a mediocre second- or third-tier actor?

No, she doesn't want to live this kind of life!

Seeing that her tears were about to soak her skirt, Chi Yu quickly handed her a stack of tissues and said, "Don't cry, wipe them first."

"Crying now won't solve any problems. Instead of venting these useless emotions through tears, you should just calm down and listen to me."

Dai Xiaoyue took the tissue and wiped it roughly, then looked up at him with tearful eyes: "Listen to you? Do you have any way to help me?"

Chi Yu was very familiar with her eyes.

It was a look that was on the verge of despair, and that almost stopped believing in one's own abilities.

Chi Yu knows better than anyone how important spirit is to people - once you accept that you are mediocre and that you can only be second, you will gradually get tired of fighting and competing, and start to get used to the current situation of lying down and giving up.

And these signs are often the process of a person losing his spirit.

"Yes, calm down and listen to me," Chi Yu said thoughtfully, "Now there is a brand new opportunity in front of you. It depends on whether you are willing to try it."

"what chance?"

"Come with me and start your own company."

"what?"

……

As per convention, Su Lingxi did not return to the audience seats after receiving the award. Instead, she was led by the staff directly to the backstage live broadcast room for a post-award interview.

Because she only won the supporting actor award, the interview didn't last long, and it was over in six or seven minutes.

"Everything went so smoothly that it's unbelievable!" As soon as Su Lingxi came out of the interview place, Zhang Wenya came up with her bag, her cheeks flushed with excitement, "Lingxi, you really did it! Oh my God, but you are only 20 years old!"

"I must check it out. You must be the youngest winner of the Golden Rooster Awards in all its history!"

It had been a long time since I saw Zhang Wenya so flustered, and Su Lingxi couldn't help laughing.

"No need to check, she has already broken Shen Man's record of winning the award at the age of 21." Yang Qian was half a step behind her and added with a smile: "Now the youngest winner of the Golden Rooster Award in history is standing in front of us."

"Yeah, let's take a few more pictures with her now while it's free." Jia Jia ran over in a hurry and joked.

Yu Wan pulled out a SLR camera from somewhere and asked casually, "Who wants to take pictures? I have equipment here, I can help."

Su Lingxi's usual thick skin almost broke in the face of these "live and die together" partners. She blushed and waved her hands, "Alright, alright, stop making fun of me. I'll give each of you bonuses after the award ceremony, okay?"

Yang Qian snorted and laughed, "Okay, Boss Su is much more generous now than before."

"To be honest, I was so nervous when Teacher Lin Hui received the award. I was afraid that the jury would give the Best Supporting Actress Award to Teacher Liu Min, since she won the Best Director Award this year."

"Me too. I was so nervous that I almost couldn't breathe..."

As they walked out, several people discussed in low voices, but the low volume could not hide the joy in everyone's tone.

Many years later, Jia Jia has become a well-known agent in the circle. Everyone in the social circle has to call her Teacher Qi. She still often thinks of this scene.

That was the original appearance when the legend was born, and it was also the starting point of all glorious journeys.
