"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 19th Gorgeous Award ceremony!"

"On behalf of the program team and the organizers, I welcome you all!" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

As the host finished speaking, a round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.

The host continued, "Over the past year, we have witnessed the birth of many works, including those by esteemed attendees present..."

"This year’s Gorgeous Awards categories remain the same as previous years, including Best Director, Best Screenwriter, Best Cinematographer, Best Post-production Team, Best New Director, and Best New Screenwriter..."

"The selection for each award follows a rule of 40% online votes and 60% offline judging..."

"A few days ago, the online voting results concluded, and the program team completed the final evaluation to compile the ultimate results."

"...Without further ado, let’s proceed to the thrilling and exciting segment of announcing the awards!"

After speaking, the host slightly turned to look at the display screen behind him.

The screen was showing the online voting results for the Best Post-production Team.

"...From the display screen behind me, it’s clear that this year’s winner of the online vote for Best Post-production Team is The Grove Collective! Their masterpiece is ’Perfect Match’! Apex Team comes in second..."

"And now... who will ultimately win the Best Post-production Team award?"

Spotlights darted back and forth over the names of the teams on the screen, and the audience nervously fixed their eyes on the display.

"Let’s congratulate..."

Finally, the lights settled on The Grove Collective.

"Congratulations to The Grove Collective for winning this year’s Best Post-production Team award! Let’s congratulate them!!!"

As the host finished speaking, applause filled the venue.

A group of people excitedly stood up and, under the gaze of the guests, walked onto the stage.

"Congratulations to The Grove Collective! ’Perfect Match’ was flawless in its post-production editing, BGM, and insertion points..."

Behind them, snippets of ’Perfect Match’ played on the screen.

The host read out a slew of lines, after which the Gorgeous Award organizers personally presented the award to The Grove Collective.

It was an exquisitely transparent rose-shaped trophy, with a long stem extending to the base.

Engraved on the base were the words ’19th Gorgeous Award Best Post-production Team The Grove Collective’.

Afterwards, the organizers, host, and The Grove Collective posed for a photo together.

Once all this was done, they moved on to the next award.

"Next, we have the highly anticipated Best New Director award..."

"As everyone knows, with the advancement of the times, in this era brimming with talent, there are more and more emerging directors, which means competition is getting fiercer."

"Over the past year, several dark horses have brought us refreshing works..."

"Let’s take a look at the online voting results."

The content on the large screen behind changed to the voting results for the Best New Director.

It was clear that Selena Kensington was in first place, with her votes far outpacing others.

"You can see, ’Immortal Path,’ directed by Selena Kensington, is in first place, leading the second place by five times the number of votes. Director Kensington is truly this year’s biggest dark horse!"

The host exclaimed, and the cameras in the venue immediately zoomed in on Selena Kensington.

Under the colorful lights, Selena Kensington’s face was tinged with a mysterious hue.
