The officials of the Golden Eagle Festival finally stepped in to mediate. They admitted that the organizer had made a calculation blunder with the votes. At that time, the judges had gotten into a tiff because of this as well. The series of unfortunate incidents led to the wrong winner being announced.
Lin Zhi's camp was deeply shocked and humiliated by this news. Her PR team subsequently released an apology and wanted to give the trophy to the rightful owner.
What the heck?
Huanyu was disdainful. Although their actress did not manage to get an official record under her name, her talent and hard work would prove that their lady was no pushover. They believed that no trophy could take the place of the audience's approval of her worth.
Qin Zhou's camp won beautifully at the end of this PR battle.
On the other hand, the senior actress's fans were upset with her underhanded means, which further reduced her popularity somewhat.
