Chapter 81 Emmy Award Nominations

Since the last time Megan Fox left Lin Ming Yang alone, Kenny Ortega had a strange look in his eyes every time he watched them together, but after Megan's acting training in New York, her acting skills had improved very quickly, and if her scenes with Lin Ming Yang could only be considered as "acting in character", then her expression release when she was acting with others made Kenny's face look like "acting in color", and she was very happy to see that she was able to control it. If her scenes with Lin Ming Yang can only be considered as "acting in character", then the kind of expression that she is comfortable with when she is acting with other people makes Kenny Ortega also have to recognize her progress.

With the experience of shooting the previous episode, the cast and crew have been working together quite skillfully, and the two leads have made great strides in their acting skills, the filming of the movie "Song and Dance Youth 2" has gone more smoothly than expected.

Megan gets a chance to show off her incredible body in this episode, as she plays the female lead who gets hired as a lifeguard at a country club, and there are many shots of her walking around in a bathing suit throughout the movie. Considering the stylistic positioning of the movie and the crowd it was packing, Kenny Ortega ended up regrettably giving up on the idea of putting Megan on camera in a bikini. Apart from Lin Mingyang, all the other men in the cast were outraged by this.

Megan is a very bold and very open girl, after the first taste of the forbidden fruit, she and Lin Mingyang's intimacy became more and more active, every night after 12:30, she will quietly into Lin Mingyang's room, and then in the morning before six o'clock to sneak back. The two "cheating" successfully hid from all the people on the set, but in the end, it was Kenny Ortega inadvertently broke through.

The filming of the movie was going well, so the director intentionally slowed down the pace of filming in the later stages of shooting, and often took weekends off. Because the next day the crew rested, Lin Mingyang and Megan in the evening are playing very indulgent, the next day a sleep until more than 9 o'clock, Lin Mingyang or was knocked on the door to wake up.

Megan was also woken up together, and she rubbed her sleepy eyes before muttering, "Still hiding in the restroom?"

Lin Ming Yang thought that no one should have anything important to come to him at this time, so he kissed Megan on the forehead and told her to lie down and keep quiet while he went to deal with it.

He thought it was a waiter delivering breakfast, but when Lin Ming Yang opened the door, he saw Kenny Ortega standing in the doorway with a happy face, and then he froze.

"Mr. Kenny?"

Seeing Lin Ming Yang's sleepy expression, Kenny Ortega didn't care too much at first, if he hadn't received that message, he would probably still be in his own bed even now.

"Am I not welcome to come in?" Kenny Ortega gave Lin Mingyang a puzzled look, he felt that there was something wrong with the other party's demeanor.

"I just woke up, my room is a mess, and I haven't washed up yet!" Lin Mingyang started making up excuses.

"Alright, I'll go wake up Megan first, I have good news to announce to you two!" Kenny Ortega shrugged his shoulders helplessly and prepared to go knock on the door of Megan Fox's room, who lived right next door to Lin Ming Yang.

"Mr. Kenny?" Lin Ming Yang called out to him with some hesitation.

"What's wrong?" The flickering look on the other party's face aggravated the doubts in Kenny Ortega's heart more and more.

"I mean, I'll call her, you can go ahead and inform the others!" Lin Mingyang snatched his words.

"But this news is only relevant to the three of us!" Kenny Ortega suddenly slumped his face and made a very serious expression, "She's in your room, I guessed correctly!"

Seeing that the matter was revealed, Lin Ming Yang didn't make up any other nonsense and just nodded his head.

"You're all still minors!" Kenny Ortega had deliberately aggravated his tone in the first half of his sentence, posing as an educator, but in the second half of his sentence, he made a one hundred and eighty degree turnaround, "Well, I admit that I was once young, you guys wouldn't be in the middle of that just now ... "

"Mr. Kenny!" Lin Mingyang was rendered somewhat speechless by him.

Kenny Ortega blinked at Lin Ming Yang, "I mean, I didn't interrupt you guys when I knocked on the door just now, right?"

"We were all still sleeping just now!"

"Alright, see you in the hall in half an hour!" Kenny Ortega made an OK gesture, "I don't know anything about what happened just now!"

----

Despite the fact that the romance had been detected by Kenny Ortega, Lin Mingyang and Megan Fox were still very "disciplined" in front of him. Kenny Ortega had wanted to kindly remind him of a couple of things, but seeing that both of them were cautious, he didn't bother.

Avoiding the topic that would make Lin Mingyang and Megan feel awkward, Kenny Ortega announced the good news to them as soon as they met, that the movie "Song and Dance" was nominated for six Emmy awards, including Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor/Actress in TV Movie categories.

"I'm nominated too?" Megan was quite surprised to hear the news.

The Emmy Awards were the highest awards in the American television industry, and although its influence could not be compared to the Oscar Awards in the movie industry, it was also an award with a high level of attention and credibility in North America, and what Kenny Ortega was talking about here was the Primetime Program Emmy Awards.

Judging from the results of previous awards, the Emmy judges focus more on the novelty of the quality of the episode, which has created a tradition that the Emmys never follow the ratings. Although "Songs of Youth" has set a ratings record that has yet to be broken, that doesn't mean it will be recognized by the Emmy judges.

"I think as a newcomer, your performance has been great!" Kenny Ortega encouraged, "And I'm amazed at how much you've improved in your recent performances, so I'm sure that even if you don't end up taking home the big prize this time around, that trophy will definitely be yours next year!"

Megan's excitement could be imagined as she was nominated for her first award and recognized by Kenny Ortega. In contrast, Lin Mingyang, who was sitting on the sidelines, was a bit calmer, because he knew that, without any surprises, he would be able to take home at least one trophy between Best Screenplay and Best Actor.

"I think you can start preparing the dress for the awards ceremony right now, and when the time comes, I hope you can show your best side to all the TV viewers." Kenny Ortega's mood was as excited as Megan's, and the two of them enthusiastically discussed a lot of topics that would be easily noticed at the awards ceremony, only to realize that Lin Ming Yang had been "hung out to dry" by them after it was over.

Megan also found this problem, and then she shouted in a low voice: "Felix?"

Lin Ming Yang, who had obviously been lost in thought, gave a "hmm" and casually blurted out, "I think it's fine, Megan should wear a black colored dress."

"But that's what we were discussing at the beginning!" Megan gave him an exasperated glare, "And the result of the discussion between Mr. Kenny and I was that red would stand out more."

"Is that so?" Lin Ming Yang had just been so focused on his own thoughts that he really hadn't listened carefully to the conversation between Megan and Kenny Ortega. He smiled slightly apologetically at his girlfriend, "Actually, I think you look good in anything!"

"Ahem!" Kenny Ortega coughed twice in dissatisfaction, "Felix, the dress code for awards ceremonies is usually very formal, especially for an award like the Emmy, your dress code and may affect the judges' scores for you!"

"But the results should have been finalized before the awards ceremony!" Kenny Ortega got agitated, allowing Lin Ming Yang to catch the error in his statement.

"But you should also seriously consider your dress code, I don't think Megan would want a scruffy guy standing next to her!"

Lin Ming Yang originally wanted to ask when he had ever become scruffy in people's eyes, but seeing Megan's "vicious" eyes, he could only temporarily change his words, "So Megan and I are walking the red carpet together?"

"If not with you, then with me, the middle-aged man?" Kenny Ortega joked, then laughed twice, finding that the smile on Megan's face was forced, while Lin Mingyang just didn't have any desire to laugh at all, he then realized that his humor didn't seem to resonate with the people around him.

He put away his smile, then put on a serious face and said, "I have to remind you two first, don't get too carried away on the red carpet, you still have to be careful where you should pay attention to, especially with the relationship between the two of you, it's best to be cautious!"

"Aren't there enough scandals about this guy in Hollywood?" Megan grunted unhappily, she wasn't deaf or blind when she was in New York, she actually knew all the "bad things" Lin Ming Yang had done. Now that their relationship had developed to this point, she also had fewer scruples when she spoke.

"As long as there's a beautiful woman standing beside Felix, even if there's no relationship between them, the next day there will definitely be a scandal about his woman in the newspaper, that's Hollywood!" Kenny Ortega seemed to have said a fair word, but before Lin Ming Yang could brew up the wording to express his gratitude to him for his understanding, his next words left Lin Ming Yang completely speechless.

"Who let this kid open a fascinatingly handsome face, as a screenwriter and has a unique advantage in smooth talk, if I were a woman, there is a ninety percent chance that I would also throw myself back to him!"

"Then what would you do with the other ten percent choice?" Lin Ming Yang asked with a fluke in his heart.

"What do you guys say?" Kenny Ortega laughed playfully, a knowing expression on his face.

Lin Ming Yang raised his middle finger in his heart towards this lewd uncle, with whom Megan Fox had maintained quite a tacit understanding on this issue.

"The way you praise people..." after half a day had passed, Lin Ming Yang only managed to hold back such a sentence, and it was interrupted by Megan from it.

"Very special!" Megan finished the following words for him.

"Well, just kidding!" Kenny Ott then brought the conversation back to the Emmys, "Felix, it seems like this isn't the first time you've walked the red carpet. If I remember correctly, you attended this year's Grammys and then sang a song!"

"They didn't arrange for me to walk the red carpet!" Lin Ming Yang realized that the other party was really a bit of a pot calling the kettle black.

"No wonder the next day I just heard your song 'Baby' and didn't see any gossip about you!" In order to prevent from being "despised" again, Kenny Ortega saw the good this time and immediately changed the topic, "The first time you walk the red carpet, you need to pay attention to a lot of things, for example, don't walk too fast, you can stop appropriately to cooperate with the media's photo shoots, and of course, don't drag too long. also don't drag too long, this will affect the people behind the red carpet!"

Kenny Ortega said a whole lot of precautions in one breath, which made Megan a little worried, "So what if I'm nervous when the time comes?"

"Need I tell you a secret?" A very mysterious smile appeared on Kenny Ortega's face, and even Lin Mingyang was a little curious.

Megan nodded her head very seriously, then Kenny Ortega signaled her to bring her ears over, and while he whispered, Megan couldn't stop nodding her head.

"What, I'm not allowed to know?" Lin Ming Yang protested depressingly.

Megan glared back at him savagely:

"This trick won't work if you know!"
