Filed To Story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel

“Could Mr. Roborts share with us his thoughts on winning this award?”

Eric held onto the trophy and walked over to the microphone. Perhaps, due to the bright lighting, he appeared extra dazzling.

Time had been kind to this man. Although he was already in his mid-thirties, he did not show any signs of aging.

In fact, some people would even describe him as alluring!

“Looking at the faces below the stage, it appears as though I’ve bullied someone by receiving this award.”

As soon as he said these words, everyone broke out in laughter.

“This is the first award I’ve received since joining the industry. Although, some of you may feel like I’m bullying others, this award still holds a great amount of weight in my hands.”

“Don’t think of me as a petty person that won’t leave a simple award for the professionals. I can’t do that, because I know better than anyone, how much ridicule my wife endured while trying to produce and film ‘The Ant Queen’. Even when she first asked for Director Qiao Sen’s help, she had to kneel on an island for an entire afternoon while she was thrashed by the cold winds.”

“That’s why, I couldn’t give up on this award!”

“I won’t waste your time on any other words of gratitude, but I do have some things to announce. Firstly, ‘The Ant Queen’ will soon appear on the screens of 30 different countries around the world. This includes countries in the European and American markets. Everyone, our film is going international!”

“Secondly, I am officially announcing the comeback of Superstar Media. I know that this has always been my wife’s wish. Hopefully, Superstar Media will be able to discover more great talent for the industry.”

“Thirdly, I would like to welcome Qiao Sen to the stage!”

…

As soon as Eric said these last few words, the entire venue erupted in confusion. Qiao Sen had already died a long time ago. Yet, Eric was inviting Qiao Sen to the stage?

What kind of a joke was he making?

Even Emma almost stood up from her seat when she heard Eric speak. But, a moment later, Qiao Sen’s daughter appeared from the backstage, pushing a wax figure.

That was when everyone understood that Eric was referring to a wax figure.

The figure was made according to Qiao Sen’s body measurements. Eric had specifically hired an expert from Italy to carve out the figure in minute detail.

Hence, when Emma saw the figure, tears almost rolled out from her eyes.

It was as though Qiao Sen was still alive and standing on the stage.

At that moment, Qiao Sen’s daughter received the microphone from Eric and bowed to the audience in gratitude. She then began to speak, “I would like to thank everyone for still remembering my father, but most important of all, I would like to tell Emma that you are my queen! Thank you for consoling me with ‘The Ant Queen’; a film that makes me feel as though my father is still alive and by my side.”

“Actually, Mr. Roborts already explained to us earlier that Emma doesn’t care about her own achievements. She simply wants everyone to acknowledge Director Qiao Sen!” the host standing to the side started saying.

“So, let’s take this opportunity to change the order of the ceremony and present another one of the most important awards of the night.”

“From the time that the Sky Honor Awards was first established, its aim has always been to acknowledge those that have strived to create good films. To continue this ideal, the organizers of the Sky Honor Awards have decided to award Director Qiao Sen – the Lifetime Achievement Award! We hope this will motivate all those below the stage that are still healthy and alive to lead the industry to a brighter future…”

That night, Emma sat below the stage overcome with emotions. Qiao Sen had finally received something for his efforts.

Eric knew that this was exactly what his wife wanted the most. So, his eyes met lovingly with hers.

“At the same time, we hope Emma can continue to create even better films so our eyes can be rewarded!”

“While we’re on this topic, can we ask how ‘The Ant Queen 2’ is going?”

Emma’s eyes were red, but this question made her laugh. Everyone knew she was crying tears of joy.

“Come, Emma, come to the stage…”

Emma shook her head and rejected the invite, “No, this night belongs to everyone. I hope everyone can enjoy it and not just focus on me.”

“But, don’t you have anything to say to Mr. Roborts, who thoughtfully prepared three big presents for you?”

“We will talk when we get home…” Emma replied naturally.

The host nodded and did not insist. He then turned and looked at Eric, “Mr. Roborts, now that you’ve taken home this award, do you have anything else to say to everyone from the standpoint of a leader in the industry?”

“Tonight, I am simply an actor accompanying my wife. I will not place p**ssure on everyone!” Eric replied.

“Hahaha, thank you for your mercy, Big Boss…” the host laughed.

With a smile, the host led Eric and Qiao Sen’s daughter off the stage. But, as soon as Eric returned to Emma’s side, she immediately wr*pped him in her arms.

“What is it?”

“You always know what I want,” Emma said with a choked up voice. “The best thing I’ve done in my entire life was marrying you.”

“I like seeing you being moved.”

The couple hugged each other tightly while plenty of envious eyes watched. This included a person sitting in front of her television screen glaring at the two.

“Such ‘great’ people, yet they wouldn’t take in my daughter. Now I can’t see my daughter anymore. I don’t even know if she’s dead or alive!”

“Emma, I have no choice but to blame you for this. You could have saved my daughter’s life with one simple gesture!”

Liang Yongyu glared at Emma through her television screen as she clenched her fists angrily.

But, she was well aware that she was no match for Emma at the moment. She had to first give birth to a son to establish her status.

Either way, there was still plenty of time. They were bound to cross paths again, sooner or later!

Meanwhile, for Emma, that night was perhaps the proudest moment in her career. But, ‘The Ant Queen’s’ achievements did not stop there. Afterwards, it also created a lot of hype in the Western markets.

The foreigners actually managed to create such a high-quality sci-fi film? Is this fake?

They must have used corrupt practices, right?

The Westerners immediately had their doubts.

Some foreign film experts even presented their analysis and research and used whatever means they could to expose and criticize the film. They had their doubts about Emma, but Emma did not provide a response.

Meanwhile, the post production studio that Emma led during ‘The Ant Queen’, ended up forming a post production company under the name of…’Glory’.

Glory and Superstar Media then joined forces and both worked as subsidiaries under Kaleidoscope.

Ever since the identity of the post production crew was revealed, the entire team at Glory had been approached by many film and television agencies. In fact, some even offered huge amounts of money for them to work on their films. However, they rejected every single one of them.

Firstly, they initially agreed to work with Emma because they could feel the determination and drive that she and Qiao Sen had towards creating a high-quality sci-fi film.

Secondly, their skills exclusively belonged to ‘The Ant Queen’, so they weren’t working on anything other than ‘The Ant Queen’ series.

Thirdly, for their post production quality to improve, they needed time to practice and master their skills. So, they didn’t want to waste energy on other films. At least, for now, they had to focus it all on ‘The Ant Queen’.

More importantly, no one was more comfortable to work with than Emma.

After all, Emma was already providing them with the best benefits, best treatment and…best glory!

But, just when it was time to take advantage of ‘The Ant Queen’ while it was at its peak, Emma once again disappeared from the public eye. It was time for her to prepare for ‘The Ant Queen 2’.

And, Emma knew better than anyone, how difficult ‘The Ant Queen 2’ was going to be without Qiao Sen…

A little while later, news started spreading that ‘The Ant Queen’ had received various international awards. However, Mr. Roborts always sent a representative to receive them. This wasn’t because Emma was being arrogant, but because foreign sci-fi films had been bowing down to the foreigners for too many years.

Now that they could finally stand tall, she had to do something to gain the domestic film markets faith!

She couldn’t be too cold towards the international awards, but she couldn’t be too excited either.

…

“I would like to ask Senior Long to take part in ‘The Ant Queen 2’ by adding in some martial arts elements. As something that’s symbolic to our culture, I would love to add it to my film.”

“The first film focused on a father and daughter, so I’m thinking, maybe the sequel will focus on a teacher and student. What do you think, Eric?”

Seeing that his wife was getting the hang of film production, Eric smiled as he sat by her side, “It appears, you have a lot of resources at hand this time, so you don’t need me.”

“You must be joking,” Emma put down the pen and paper in her hands and turned to look at Eric, “Did you really think I’d be able to write a complete script on my own?”

Eric thought for a moment and nodded his head, “Now that I think about it, I guess I still have some use!”

“The storyline is the most important element to a film,” Emma said in seriousness. “No matter how good the post production is, the only thing that can keep an audience interested, is the storyline.”

“You can always learn how to write one…”

“If you’re asking me to read a script, I can do it with ease. But, if you’re asking me to come up with something so complex, it’s honestly a very difficult thing for me to do,” Emma revealed her flaw honestly. “I’m not you, I’m not capable of everything.”

Mr. Roborts was dazed by all the flattering, allowing his wife to easily lead him by the nose…

Meanwhile, Emma still had to consider the director for her film. Although she wanted to ask Zephaniah for help again, she knew he still needed to manage Yadanar and wasn’t guaranteed to agree.

“The public is currently waiting for you to recruit for your new film. Apart from Senior Long, do you have anyone else in mind?”
