After the red carpet fiasco, both Wang Jian and Catherine, sitting in the award hall, were a bit distracted.
Catherine glanced at the actresses in evening gowns intermittently, then looked down at herself.
And Wang Jian, with a vacant gaze, stared at the stage, his mind spinning wildly.
"All those photos from earlier, they won't get published, will they?"
"Even if they do get published, I probably won't be in them. After all, I'm no celebrity!"
"But, if by some chance they do get published..."
"Damn it! I shouldn't have come!"
However, the thoughts and feelings of a rookie producer and a novice director had absolutely no impact on the ongoing award ceremony.
At this point, the second to last award was being presented on stage.
"Nominated for Best Actor are: 'Friends', Ross; 'Seinfeld', Seinfeld; 'X-Files', David; 'Prison Break', Miller."
As a few sharp drumbeats sounded, presenter George Clooney feigned a secretive glance at the envelope.
