Full-time actor

"Ahhh, Chen Yu!"

"It's Chen Yu!"

"My God, he really came!"

The crowd was clearly in high spirits.

As the car slowly drove by, the audience members who were about to leave returned.

Their eyes were fixed on the Toyota Crown in front of them; this advertising fee from Xiaozhe was definitely a profitable one.

"I take back what I just said, that was awesome!"

"This is the grand finale! With this lineup, I knew that with Brother Yu's strength, he would definitely be the last to perform!"

"Stop the car! Stop the car! If it weren't for Chen Yu, I would have eaten the red carpet!"

"This aura is definitely at the level of an Oscar-winning actor or actress!"

"Stop speculating, the host already said it's Chen Yu, from the 'Better Days' crew!"

"..."

Meanwhile, backstage at the Golden Rooster Awards.

As the last car drove in, the staff who were compiling the ratings were once again astonished by the ratings curve.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought the ratings were fake.

It can go up again!

after all--

Before Jing Wei announced the cast of "Better Days", the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony had already achieved a viewership rating of 3.3%.

It's worth noting that with the rapid rise of the internet in recent years, the Golden Rooster Awards' viewership has been declining year by year.

But this year, it's been absolutely explosive.

It seems like everyone knows about the Golden Rooster Awards. At this time, everyone is glued to their TVs, computers, and mobile phones to watch today's grand event!
"Director Chen, the ratings have broken 5!"

"5%!"

"It's still steadily rising; if Chen Yu were to appear, it would probably reach its peak immediately..."

After all, the highest viewership rating in the past was only 2.4%.

It has more than doubled, all thanks to Chen Yu's popularity.

He single-handedly doubled the viewership ratings.

Chen Xini couldn't help but laugh out loud; this was definitely her lucky star.

It should be noted that this is the first time in the history of the Golden Rooster Awards that it has surpassed previous editions, just like the Spring Festival Gala.

The most shocking thing, of course, is that the viewership ratings are still rising.

Nobody knows where the final peak is.

"Chen Yu!"

"Chen Yu!"

Screams erupted from both sides of the red carpet; anyone would take a second look at such a spectacle.

Chen Yu sat in the car, his fingers intertwined with Liu Yifei's.

To be precise, "Better Days" is facing considerable pressure this time, and winning an award with certainty is not so easy.

"Get ready, it's almost our turn."

Chen Yu looked at Liu Yifei in front of him. Compared to her performance at the Venice Film Festival, she seemed much more relaxed this time.

Countless people held their breath, waiting for the moment the car door would open.

boom!
Security personnel opened the rear door of the Toyota, and the photographer's lens then focused on the inside of the car.

She walks the red carpet unlike anyone else.

Even getting off the bus gets him into the spotlight and broadcast live—that's the kind of attention Chen Yu brings.

Everyone's attention, along with the camera and the scene, fell on the car.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

In just a moment, screams rang out.

Wearing a white formal dress, Chen Yu led Liu Yifei out by the hand, bending down to walk.

The camera captured this scene with incredible clarity.

A pair of slender, jade-like hands reached out and rested on Chen Yu's wrist. Amidst the screams of the crowd, Liu Yifei, who looked like a celestial being, seemed to be the most striking one.

She appeared before everyone wearing a gilded gold dress.

The two can be described as a perfect match, a golden couple.

Before even walking the red carpet, she was surrounded by photographers and reporters, standing there taking pictures of them.

"Chen Yu! Chen Yu!"

"Sisi, you are the most beautiful."

"Ahhh, I'm so happy!"

"..."

The crowds on both sides of the red carpet went absolutely wild, the people of Suzhou present were collectively thrilled, and the live stream's popularity exploded instantly.

Tomato.com was in an uproar.

On the red carpet, in the live broadcast room, even the host was shouting excitedly.

This was something everyone had been looking forward to, and its appearance immediately caused a bloodbath!
"This is amazing! I can't even keep up with all the comments!"

"My God, what do you call this? This is real power."

"He's here! He's here! He's bringing the grand prize!"

"After all, it's in Brother Yu's hometown, so we definitely have to give him face."

"See that? That's the influence of a top star. Without our Brother Yu, what's the point of your Golden Rooster Award?"

"Don't bring trouble to Brother Yu..."

Comments flooded the screen instantly, as everyone was already bursting with excitement, since nothing was more thrilling than Chen Yu's participation.

Liu Yifei and Chen Yu walked gracefully down the red carpet.

As for what's behind—

Tang Yan and Luo Jin have already caught up.

The screams from both sides of the red carpet erupted completely, the sound deafening.

This is the influence of Chen Yu.

Zhang Yimou had just reached the end of the red carpet when the screams around him made him stop in his tracks.

With no one else in sight, Chen Yu's appearance made him sigh.

Wei shook his head slightly: "This kid is the first celebrity in China to have such high popularity in so many years..."

"I'm getting old, I have to accept it!"

Although Zhang Yimou said this, his eyes were full of praise for Chen Yu.

Chen Yu's abilities have been evident to all along.

Zhang Weiping paused for a moment, never expecting that Chen Yu would have such a powerful appeal.

A hint of anticipation crossed her face.

After all, this young man has taken fewer detours than they have taken over ten years.

Their debut was their peak.

In the entertainment industry, such talented contestants are truly rare.

Others can only feel envy and jealousy.

With everything settled, Chen Yu's appearance redeemed those who had been waiting in vain.

"Truly the demeanor of a king."

"Next up walking toward us is the crew of the Venice Golden Lion-winning film 'Better Days'."

"It is also one of the most anticipated films at the 26th Golden Rooster Awards."

"Let's give a warm round of applause and cheers to welcome Grand Slam Best Actor and newly crowned Venice Golden Lion-winning director Chen Yu, together with newly crowned Venice Best Actress Liu Yifei, and the main cast Tang Yan and Luo Jin..."

"Oooo!"

The fans at the venue and those watching on TV and in front of their computers all cheered enthusiastically.

It was truly completely beyond my control!
The cheers lasted for a full half minute without stopping.

"Thank you!"

"Yes, 'Better Days' received 13 nominations at this year's awards, including Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress..."

"It has also become the film with the most nominations in the history of the Golden Rooster Awards!"

Jingwei was equally excited. She had attended several Golden Rooster Awards ceremonies and had witnessed Chen Yu's journey step by step.

To be precise, she had already been captivated by Chen Yu's acting skills.

As Jingwei introduced the event, the screams from both sides of the red carpet never stopped.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei have already walked to the middle of the red carpet.

"Dear fellow citizens of Suzhou, how are you?"

"You've returned today!"

Chen Yu greeted everyone present in Suzhou dialect, which caused a stir among the crowd!
"Brother Yu, Suzhou is proud of you!"

"Hurry up and get married to our fairy sister, we want to go to the wedding banquet!"

"Yes, when is the wedding...?"

The voice coming from beside her made Liu Yifei blush.

She subconsciously looked in that direction, her expression somewhat shy.

Now that they've come to Chen Yu's home turf, everyone in Suzhou seems to be supporting him.

After all, what happened last year was incredibly infuriating.

"Xiao Yu, let's get a Grand Slam today!"

We all support you!

"Yes, I'm taking all the awards home!"

"All the people of Suzhou are your strongest shield!"

"Could you please tell me when Suzhou will have an airport...?"

"go away!"

Chen Yu: "..." He pretended not to hear this. Suzhou will actually have two airports in the future, but it will be several years later.

May-Yoo International Airport and Zan-Wu International Airport!
Chen Yu didn't take this little incident to heart. The people of Suzhou on both sides of the red carpet were all looking proud. As a child who came from Suzhou, Chen Yu's achievements today were truly admirable.

They also understood that Chen Yu could have chosen not to participate this time.

However, this was because the event was being held in his hometown.

Amid cheers from the crowd, Chen Yu stopped in the middle of the red carpet.

It's well known that many celebrities who try to get attention on the red carpet often linger there for a long time.

However, Chen Yu's actions this time actually excited everyone.

After all, media reporters are eager to take as many photos as possible.

"thank you all!"

"Thank you for your support. I will do my best to promote my hometown in the future!"

As the most sought-after person right now, he naturally doesn't need to do these things, but Chen Yu does whatever he wants.

With so many people coming to support him today, he should adjust his attitude accordingly.

Applause gradually rose, and everyone was moved by this gesture.

They always go in both directions.

"Brother Yu, Qianqian, it's been such a long time."

The reporters standing nearby were already impatient; this was the first time in so many days that they had caught the two of them.

Chen Yu responded, while Liu Yifei smiled sweetly.

How do you feel about returning to your hometown for this awards ceremony?

When asked by reporters, Chen Yu looked at the Suzhou fans who were cheering for him.

"I'm very excited, and also very happy."

"When I was little, I always came to the Grand Theater to watch open-air movies. I never thought that one day I would be able to come here to attend an awards ceremony."

Chen Yu's response was very sincere, and it was also his heartfelt opinion.

Past life plus this life.

He has reached his current position in less than five years in the eyes of others, but only he knows that he has walked this path for a full 40 years.

Chen Yu's words caused the people of Suzhou on both sides to cheer again.

Actors who emerged from Suzhou are now representing Suzhou on the world stage.

Chen Yu was an inspirational role model for them.

Liu Yifei looked at Chen Yu beside her, equally proud of her husband.

"Brother Yu, do you think our Xixi has a good chance of winning the award?"

As the topic shifted to Liu Yifei, Chen Yu turned his head to look at Liu Yifei, who had been by his side the whole time.

"of course."

"She will always be the best leading lady in my heart."

It has to be said that the two who appeared last were...

That was definitely a huge hit, especially Chen Yu's heartfelt words, which raised the atmosphere of the scene to a new level.

The audience could feel the strong, sour smell of this romance.

As for the viewers in the live stream, they were really taken aback by Chen Yu's words.

"If she wins an award, who would Sisi most like to thank?"

The Sina reporter's statement was clearly pointed.

As the camera zoomed in on Liu Yifei's face, she lightly bit her lip, her eyes revealing a hint of cunning.

Walking the red carpet this time felt like a scene of suffering for her.

Leaving aside the pressure to get married, these questions just keep coming one after another.

"Of course, I must thank Director Chen Yu..."

"Oh~~~"

As soon as Liu Yifei said this, the whole audience started to cheer.

Seeing that the situation was starting to get out of control, the security personnel began to urge them on.

"Congratulations to 'Better Days' on achieving such great results today!"

"Thank you~"

Liu Yifei and the others thanked them one by one, and then the two of them held hands and went to the autograph sheet.

Chen Yu took the whiteboard marker from the attendant and casually handed it to Liu Yifei.

The interaction between the two was already making people's hearts race.

Even though they've been together for so long, every gesture they make still conveys their deep affection.

As for Liu Yifei, she directly signed her name on the sponsor's nomination board.

He casually put the whiteboard marker back into Chen Yu's hand.

"See? With our Brother Yu around, Qianqian doesn't even need to open her pen herself."

"I've already moved to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Please, both of you, get married for my sake."

"They've already proposed, so how far away can marriage be?"

"This isn't an awards ceremony red carpet, it's clearly this couple's wedding."

This year's Golden Rooster Awards sponsorship and title sponsorship are simply top-notch.

It's highly commercial, which shows Chen Yu's appeal!
Jingwei has already come over.

When she saw the spirited group of four, she even wanted to cheer for them.

"Yu-ge, Qianqian, it's been so long~~~"

As evergreen figures in the film and television industry, the group naturally has frequent contact on a regular basis.

The four of them waved to the camera.

The viewers in the live stream were so happy they were almost fainting.

They've been waiting for this for so long, and finally the person in question has arrived.

"No wonder they are both award-winning actors and actresses, they are a perfect match."

"I wish I could be the whiteboard marker in Sisi's hand, so she could hold me in her palm~"

"See that? That's the appeal of our movie star."

"I heard the screams all over the mountain city. The people of Suzhou are truly amazing."

Netizens have given it a lot of praise.

Without exception, they were all about Chen Yu, after all, this time it was truly a pleasant surprise.

"It's broken! It's broken!"

"6%!"

"My goodness, the ratings haven't dropped at all today; they've been steadily rising!"

"I feel like the awards ceremony could still boost my career!"

The statistician has gone completely insane.

This was the first time he had seen such data since he started working in the industry.

Chen Xini's gaze fell on the screen.

His aura suddenly surged, and the red carpet ceremony alone generated such a spectacular scene.

He broke the record the moment he appeared.

In the entire film and television industry, who else has such strength?

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei held hands tightly, looking incredibly sweet together on camera.

As the final film crew to appear, Jingwei naturally wanted to conduct a thorough interview with them.

"We all know that Brother Yu is from Suzhou."

"Now that you're back on your home turf, is there anything you'd like to say to the audience?"

Faced with Jingwei's question, Chen Yu pondered for a moment.

Ultimately, a large part of the reason I was able to participate in the Golden Rooster Awards today is because it was held in my hometown.

As a well-known artist, it's natural for him to be absent from his home turf.

"Walking the red carpet today is much more nerve-wracking than at any international film festival I've ever attended."

Because I know—

"Both sides of the red carpet were filled with people who supported me."

"I want to say thank you to everyone here. It is with your support that I can go further."

Cheers erupted from the crowd.

After all, every word Chen Yu spoke was sincere and heartfelt.

Jingwei nodded. There aren't many people who can maintain their original intentions even after reaching Chen Yu's position.

Chen Yu was very sincere.

"I'm going to ask a question that everyone is curious about."

Jingwei's words aroused the curiosity of Chen Yu and Liu Yifei.

After all, the questions about red carpet ceremonies are mostly the same, and the question that everyone is curious about is whether they are confident in winning an award.

only--

Jingwei had a mischievous smile on his face.

It's clear that the problems that follow will be different from what they imagined.

Tang Yan and Luo Jin exchanged a glance; both of them were quite gossipy.

Earn it.

Normally, they're not allowed to stay on the red carpet for more than a minute, but today they got to sneak onto the red carpet!
Most importantly, Jingwei's question is definitely not simple!
No one expected it for long.

"Are Yu-ge and Xi-xi getting married soon?"

As soon as Jingwei finished speaking, everyone on both sides of the red carpet erupted in an uproar.

This is indeed something everyone has been looking forward to. The two have been in love for many years, and the years they have spent together are evident to all.

The girl's blush is more important than anything else.

Chen Yu grabbed Liu Yifei's hand directly, looking more like a general who had won a battle!
The entire internet, the scene, even Luo Jin and Tang Yan—all wanted to know the answer! (End of Chapter)
