Chapter 539: The Deserved Fairness


    "Since you guys are seated in this position and are judges, please disy your professionalism and


    objectiveness. What you should be focused on, is an actor''s abilities and not their experience."


    "I''ve already said what I needed to say. If you still feel the need to eliminate Tangning, then I have


    no objections. But, please provide a reasonable exnation for your decision. Otherwise, the public


    and I won''t be easily convinced," Elder Mo crossed his arms in front of his chest and leaned back in


    his chair. "Let''s go around the table. Tell me what you honestly think."


    Everyone hesitated for a moment before a senior film critic adjusted the .s.ses on his nose and


    responded, "The Fei Tian Awards represents the highest quality art form in the country and is


    currently held in the highest regard. The person we choose, not only needs to be great at acting, but


    also needs to be respected by the public."


    "The reason I want to eliminate Tangning is simple, it''s because she has too many enemies in the


    industry. She has a bad reputation, she''s arrogant, and she''s broken too many rules within the


    industry."


    "When ites to acting, all 10 nominees can act. But, while some stick to their responsibilities,


    others create headlines all day long."


    "She hasn''t produced many films, but news about her has continuously carried on from the


    beginning of the year until the end. That''s why I don''t like her."


    Elder Mo nodded his head and asked the others, "What about you guys? Do you also think this


    way?"


    "More or less..."


    "Me too..."


    "If this is your way of being objective, then you should do some research into the other nominees.


    Do you truly understand all of them?" Elder Mo questioned. "I would like to know, how does


    Tangning have a bad reputation?"


    Everyone was suddenly faced with a difficult question. But, they maintained their opinion.


    "Fine, since none of you have anything to say, it must mean you truly dislike Tangning and won''t


    vote for her sincerely; I won''t force you. I''ll simply show you onest thing," Elder Mo waved at a


    staff member and whispered a few words into his ear.


    No one could predict what Elder Mo had nned. All they could do was wait as the staff retrieved


    behind-the-scenes footage from ''W.H.''.


    Elder Mo disregarded everything else and directly broadcasted the footage onto the screen.


    He allowed everyone to clearly witness how Tangning filmed her fight scenes in water, how she


    escaped from the jungle and how she put in all her effort to practice when no one was looking...


    "When ites to filming, she puts in as much effort as everyone else. In fact, she may suffer a bit


    more than the average actor. Did you all think that the film was easy to make? She worked on it,


    one step at a time. How could you disregard the hard work of others because of your prejudice?"


    "I have no say when ites to her other ident.i.ties. But, when ites to being an actress, I don''t


    understand why you are all against her."


    "Also, when ites to reputation, it seems we are living in very different worlds. From what I know,


    Tangning''s fans truly admire her and she is loved by almost everyone in Beijing. I don''t understand


    why you think she is full of enemies. And arrogant? Huh? Please exin!"


    Everyone lowered their heads, unable to refute.


    "How about this, let''s postpone the selection for another day. I''ll let you all go home and think things


    over carefully before wee to a decision."


    Sometimes, one could not exin why they disliked someone. Perhaps, these people did not like


    that a simple woman like Tangning could perform better than a man.


    "Let''s postpone until tomorrow. We cane to a decision tomorrow."


    Everyone probably felt that Elder Mo was asking for the votes to be reviewed, simply because he


    was trying to justify for Tangning''s ws. This was the first time something like this had urred


    during the Fei Tian Awards.


    "No matter when it gets postponed until, my decision is firm," the man with the .s.ses said, before


    he stood up and left the room.


    This was destined to be an unhappy discussion.


    Of course, this was not something that was unexpected of the Fei Tian Awards. After all, the judging


    panel consisted of well-experienced professionals. So, for the sake of art, they would argue over the


    smallest detail. But, it did not sound good when news of the disagreement spread to the ma.s.ses.


    After all, with Elder Mo and Tangning''s rtions.h.i.+p, Elder Mo was bound to be suspected of


    being bias towards his granddaughter-inw, regardless of what he did.


    "Is there even a question as to who would win the Fei Tian Award? It''s bound to be Tangning."


    "ording to sources from within the industry, a decision was already set, but Elder Mo refused to


    ept the results. It seems, he is determined to make Tangning win."


    "Is the Fei Tian Awards going to lose its usual fairness?"


    During this incident, the votes that belonged to Tangning were cleared, while the nomination that


    belonged to her, was considered as ''having back-up''...


    For Tangning, the situation seemed a bit bleak.


    "President, how should we handle the matter?" Lu Che asked worriedly as he stood inside Mo


    Ting''s office. "I don''t understand why these people are so blind."


    "Although Elder Mo attracted a lot of trouble, he actually did something good for once. At least he


    gave Tangning a chance to have the votes reviewed."


    "What if the results don''t change?"


    Mo Ting did not respond, so Lu Che did not dare to continue asking. After all, the problem this time


    was a lot more difficult than usual.


    "We need to solve the displeasure that these people have."


    He did not expect them to be objective, but he at least hoped that they wouldn''t use a casual reason


    to eliminate Tangning from top 5.


    "I never thought that receiving an award would be this difficult," Long Jie said as she supported


    Tangning while they strolled through the gardens of Hyatt Regency.


    "It has never been an easy task to achieve. Just like it wasn''t easy to be a supermodel,"


    Tangning sighed.


    "But, doesn''t your heart ache? You were originally deserving of the award, but now, even if you win,


    you will simply feel relief rather than excitement."


    "I believe that the organisingmittee will give me a fair judgment. The Fei Tian Awards is, after


    all, the Fei Tian Awards, they will definitely protect its glory."


    "You are always so confident," Long Jie grinned disdainfully, "If I was you, I would have given up


    hope a long time ago."


    Tangning was unfazed because she had long expected that plenty of people wouldpete for


    such a precious award...


    Plus, she was never one to sit around and do nothing.


    While Long Jie was in a panic, Tangning smiled as she shook Long Jie''s arms, "Don''t worry. What is


    mine, is mine, no one can take it away from me."


    "You have a n, don''t you?" Long Jie suddenly realized an underlying message to Tangning''s


    words.


    "I will simply get the fairness that I deserve," Tangning said with a deeper meaning as she turned


    her head.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.
