Lin Muci drifted off to sleep.
The system urgently called her in her mind.
"Host, new mission, new mission, this mission is very good... it will give you a reward of one thousand points!"
A thousand points?
Although she felt that points didn't have much use right now.
But why not take it if it was free?
It was another opportunity to get something for nothing.
So Lin Muci directly asked the system.
"What mission? Tell me, I'll take it."
The system immediately switched to its mechanical voice.
[New mission, Global Best Actress Award.]
[Please, Host, win the Golden Globe for Best Actress with "I'm Thriving in the Villain-Abusing World!"]
[Upon completing this achievement, you will be rewarded with one thousand points.]
Lin Muci chuckled.
[Is that all? That's not difficult.]
The little system became agitated.
[How is that not difficult? This is about breaking historical barriers for actresses. No Chinese actress has ever won this award before. If you can achieve a breakthrough in this award, you will definitely create a new history in the film industry.]
[Moreover, don't think that people in overseas film industries, those critics, and jury members, will just watch you win the award.]
[You and Ling Qianhe are both nominated. Given their narrow-mindedness, it would be incredible if they awarded one of you two!]
The little system exclaimed nervously.
Upon hearing the little system's words, Lin Muci raised an eyebrow.
Then she said.
[Oh?]
[They will give me an award?]
[Hmph, who says this is something they get to decide?]
[What are they, anyway? If they say they will only give out one award, should we obediently listen to them?]
Hearing Lin Muci's words, the little system was stunned for a moment, then it gave a wry smile.
[Xiao Ci—you don't know, this matter isn't that easy. After all, these awards are deeply influenced by powerful overseas conglomerates. For these overseas conglomerates...]
The little system sighed.
[Manipulating awards is an easy feat.]
[How easy is it for you to break through this competition?]
Lin Muci retorted.
[Aren't you a system? Are you just going to stand by and watch others cheat and harm your poor host?]
The system shrugged.
[There's nothing I can do about that.]
[You have to figure it out yourself. Besides, you have Ling Qianhe, right? He will definitely help you!]
Lin Muci thought for a moment and said.
[I'm going to win this Best Actress award!]
...
Late that night, one of the biggest overseas film awards, the Golden Globes, announced the nominations for this year's Golden Globe Awards.
"I'm Thriving in the Villain-Abusing World!" lived up to expectations, securing eight nominations, which was incredibly impressive: Best Picture, Best Actor and Actress, Best Cinematography... Best Art Direction...
If things went normally, it was certain to be the biggest winner.
On overseas social media prediction polls, "I'm Thriving in the Villain-Abusing World!" was also the hottest contender.
Fans expressed their opinions enthusiastically.
[Surely it will win major awards, right?]
[Absolutely, it must!]
[Xiao Ci and Qianhe's performances were too stunning. They played so many roles and brought out completely different feelings... Honestly, there's no one more stunning than them this year.]
[Although Jennifer is an actress who has won Best Actress before and her performance was amazing, the role of the single mother she played this time overlaps with her character from her previous film, so compared to herself, there wasn't much breakthrough.]
[Jin Xiu Yuan is also a good actress, but honestly, the news about her and the director's affair had too big of an impact... And in this movie, I don't think her performance was that good. It's very obvious that she didn't immerse herself in the character; it was too superficial.]
After all, everyone was a film enthusiast.
And their assessments were based on the film itself.
[I actually think Xiao Ci could still refine her skills a bit more, as this is only her first leading role.]
[But we also know that the Golden Globe Awards, this award, they tend to value popularity. So if Xiao Ci wins this award, it would be entirely reasonable.]
["I'm Thriving in the Villain-Abusing World!" is the highest-grossing commercial film of the year, holding the global box office champion title for two consecutive months, with a box office exceeding seven billion... Even converted to US dollars, it's nearly one billion globally. A film of this magnitude winning a Golden Globe is well-deserved.]
No one seemed to have any worries.
[The Golden Globes really value popularity and box office.]
[There's no problem with her winning.]
Indeed, in the polls, her name was far ahead, with many more votes than her competitors.
After all, she was a global top idol.
Although some criticized that her popularity was too high and that this was trading popularity for awards, Lin Muci's fans were unfazed.
[Isn't that just because Xiao Ci is so popular? If it were you, could you even do that?]
With the main artist being so powerful, the fans naturally had full confidence.
The next day, Ling Qianhe drove Lin Muci to the set. The paparazzi were waiting for them again—they were truly persistent, were they this sweet and clingy?
Yang Weiyang ran over to Lin Muci with her phone, her opening line was that of a dedicated fan.
"Xiao Ci, I stayed up late voting for you last night!"
"I saw you completely crushing the other nominees, and your movie this year is genuinely of high quality. If you really win the Golden Globe... Wow, I actually know a Golden Globe Best Actress, and I'm in the same group as a Best Actress!"
She thought about it, and she was beaming.
Lin Muci couldn't help but laugh.
"Is that all you've got?"
"Can't you motivate yourself to win a Best Actress award for yourself?"
Yang Weiyang blinked, then sheepishly stuck out her tongue.
"Ah—I feel like I haven't reached that level yet."
"I'm just an ordinary worker. I don't have even a tenth of your talent, Xiao Ci. If I had your talent, I wouldn't be chased by Director Long every day for not conveying enough emotion in my scenes!"
"Only when I act with you do I truly understand how much of a genius you are!"
"How do you manage to... perform so well?"
As she was about to reply about this, her phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at the number and was a little surprised.
It was Zhao Lan.
Sister Lan?
She hesitantly answered the phone, and then Zhao Lan's excited voice reached her ears.
"Xiao Ci?"
"I have an incredibly good script here, and the moment I saw it, I thought of you. Are you on set? If you are, I'll come find you. I want to show you this script!"
An incredibly good script?
"No, no, no, Sister Lan, you are a senior. You tell me a place, and I'll come find you after I finish filming."
She hung up the phone, suddenly feeling a bit curious.
What kind of script could make the experienced Zhao Lan so excited?
