Were you surprised to see Xiang Yun and Chen Xi on the red carpet at Star Awards 2022 which was held Sunday, April 24, at 8:45 PM?
The 58-year-old actress explained why Edmund wasn’t present at the awards this year during an interview after she snagged the Best Evergreen Artiste Award.
She said: “I really didn’t expect [to win]. People asked me if any of my family members were coming. Edmund asked me, ‘Are you going to win? If you are then I’ll attend the awards’. I told him that I wouldn’t win, so he said he wouldn’t be coming because he’s busy with something at home.”
“He was probably nagging at home when I went up on stage just now,” she laughed.
When asked why she thought she wouldn’t win, Xiang Yun explained that My Star Bride was a very strong contender, likening it to My Little Nonya back in 2009.
“I thought Meijiao would win, that’s what I felt.”
The veteran actress plans to have a simple celebration with her family.
She said: “I only have one way of celebrating, and it’s to eat! I don’t know what I’m going to eat yet, but I’m going to call my family when I get back because winning this award is really a surprise.
“I had this thought that I wouldn’t win any more awards once I’m 60 because this industry becomes more competitive each year.”
“Previously I only had a few competitors, but now that there are more people, do I still have a chance? I thought that I wouldn’t have a chance anymore. But I managed to win the award this year. Perhaps the secret to winning is just not expecting to win,” she joked.
