Award for Best Directorial Debut!

This is the second award that "Better Days" has won. We applauded for almost the entire night. Fortunately, it seems that the clouds have parted and the sun is shining through.

There was some reward after all.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Liu Yifei stood up and straightened Chen Yu's suit.

Jiang Wen had already stood up.

Although he had just boasted to Chen Yu, he was genuinely happy for the kid who won the award.

Actually, Chen Yu also felt pretty good.

Winning this award for my first time directing is a kind of recognition.

"Director Chen has taken this step steadily!"

Jiang Wen hugged Chen Yu tightly and whispered something in his ear.

"We still need to learn more from our seniors..."

Chen Yu smiled, shook hands with Zhang Yimou and others, and then turned his gaze to the awards stage.

He looked dashing and full of energy.

He walked towards the podium, and then Guan Jingpeng handed the trophy to Chen Yu.

"Congratulations!"

“Well-deserved.”

In response to the words of the two award presenters, Chen Yu smiled and nodded.

After bowing and shaking hands politely with the two people in front of him, Chen Yu nodded to the audience and said, "This is my first time directing a film. Thank you to the Golden Rooster Awards for the encouragement of this Best Director Debut Award!"

"Thank you also to the organizers, director Diao Yinan, and the entire crew of 'Better Days'!"

"I also want to thank my leading lady, Ms. Liu Yifei—"

The camera obediently focused on Liu Yifei's face.

Her stunning beauty left everyone present speechless.

Putting everything else aside, the two are truly a perfect match, a match made in heaven.

Liu Yifei looked at Chen Yu on the stage.

Under the spotlight, the girl had a faint smile on her face.

Her eyes were filled with adoration for her man.

This reminded her of the time when they had just gotten together, when Chen Yu won the Best New Actor award for the first time.

Their relationship was not public at that time.

Even if you want to offer your congratulations, you can only do so privately by sending a message or making a phone call.

Especially since Liu Yifei was on the set of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" at the time, she didn't have a chance to congratulate him in person.

Years have passed, but the past events seem vivid in my mind.

"This award represents not only my personal achievements, but also the result of everyone's hard work."

"To be honest, I did feel lost and confused when creating and filming this work, and I wondered if I could gain everyone's approval."

"As for now—"

"I have seen everyone's support, and I will continue to persevere and bring you better works no matter what!"

"Thank you!"

Chen Yu's words were very formulaic, but he certainly didn't talk as much as the newcomers before him.

Furthermore, this award was widely expected and was actually within Chen Yu's own expectations, so he didn't feel much excitement.

In his view, this award was simply a recognition of his work as a director.

clap clap clap!
The stadium erupted in continuous applause once again.

No matter when or where, Chen Yu always maintained the most sincere attitude.

His words always resonate with people.

The applause showed no sign of stopping. After delivering his acceptance speech, Chen Yu took the trophy and certificate and left the stage.

"Alright, alright, that was just an appetizer!"

"The next few awards will be the real battleground!"

"Hahaha!"

"I've been waiting for this moment for so long..."

"Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Picture—these four awards are destined to be fiercely contested..."

“I’m so looking forward to it!”

After awarding the directorial debut prizes, only the final four major awards of this year's Golden Rooster Awards remain to be presented.

Golden Rooster Awards for Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Feature Film.

The prestige of these four awards is beyond doubt.

The previous awards were just appetizers; the next four are the real feast.

The final award that everyone competed for.

Countless people began to rub their hands together in anticipation, while Liu Yifei had already turned her gaze toward Chen Yu.

Their eyes met in the air.

After being together for so many years, we know each other's words and actions inside and out.

Chen Yu naturally understood the meaning behind Liu Yifei's gaze.

He placed his hand on his fiancée's hand, which showed he had mustered all his courage.

be honest.

This year's Golden Rooster Awards is a gathering of extraordinary figures, bringing together a constellation of talent.

It is naturally difficult to choose the most powerful one among them.

but--

Everyone has worked hard for a long time, and whether or not they win an award is up to fate.

In particular, all the works in this year's competition are of excellent quality.

In Chen Yu's memory, the actor who won the Best Actor award in his previous life was Fu Dalong, who starred in "The Dog".

However, there is no movie called "The Dog" in this life. Last year, the company invested in "The Dog", which had already participated in the selection.

As for the Best Actress—

These are Liu Jialing from "Curiosity Kills the Cat" and Yan Bingyan from "Love's Teeth".

The competition in this life is different from the previous one; it seems that the Best Actor and Best Actress will both be under different masters.

"Next, please welcome our nominees Xie Fei and Si Qin Gaowa to announce the next award."

As Ni Ping retreated backstage, Xie Fei and Si Qingaowa arrived at the awards stage.

Both are highly respected figures in the entertainment industry.

Siqin Gaowa, in particular, has won numerous awards.

Over the years, he has already participated in many well-known works.

Tiger Girl, who played the role in "Rickshaw Boy," won the Best Actress award at the 3rd Golden Rooster Awards and the Best Actress award at the 6th Hundred Flowers Awards.

"Like Water Flowing Years" also won the Best Actress award at the 4th Hong Kong Film Awards, making her the first mainland Chinese actress to receive this honor.

In film, she has already won major awards.

In the realm of television dramas, it has become the ratings champion.

Siqin Gaowa's acting skills in "The Grand Mansion Gate" and "Kangxi Dynasty" are deeply rooted in people's hearts, and most of the roles she has played are well-known.

The two were already standing in front of the stage.

"It was truly a unique visual feast."

"This year's Golden Rooster Awards ceremony has shown me the remarkable efforts of young directors and actors to catch up."

"There are talented people from generation to generation."

"I believe that mainland Chinese films will develop better and better."

As the chairman of this year's judging panel, Xie Fei finally experienced the true meaning of a diverse range of styles.

"Ado."

The following actresses have been nominated for Best Actress at the 26th Golden Rooster Awards:

Siqin Gaowa's voice echoed throughout the entire venue.

Everyone was already eagerly anticipating it, as this year's entries were truly a gathering of the best.

Each and every one of them is a top performer in their respective industry.

If it were truly up to people to choose, it would always be difficult.

Liu Yifei's hands were tangled together, and Chen Yu naturally noticed her emotional change.

Golden Rooster doesn't play by the rules at all.

Chen Yu won the Best Screenplay award at the Venice Film Festival, but not the Golden Rooster Award for Best Screenplay.

This alone is enough to prove the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony's uniqueness.

Putting all that aside, all the Best Actress nominees today are exceptionally talented.

The list of nominees appeared on the big screen.

Curiosity Killed the Cat – Liu Jialing

"Love's Teeth" - Yan Bingyan.

"Better Days" - Liu Yifei.

"Yunshuiyao" - by Li Bingbing.

"Kidnapping" - Liu Ruoying. Highlight clips of the cast began scrolling across the screen, and Tang Yan was already thrilled to see her sisters nominated for Best Actress.

Liu Yifei certainly values ​​domestic awards!
Even though she has already won the Venice Film Festival Best Actress award, it doesn't mean she's guaranteed to win the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous; my palms were already slightly sweaty, especially since my opponents this time were all very strong.

She is not like Chen Yu, who has won so many awards that he can't even count them all.

As for Liu Yifei, she has never won a Best Actress award in China, so her credentials are not very convincing.

The live broadcast of the five Best Actress nominees appeared on the big screen. On the surface, everything seemed calm and collected, but everyone knew that a silent competition had already begun.

Li Bingbing, Liu Ruoying, and others are certainly very competitive for the award.

One is the leading lady of Huayi Brothers Media Corporation, Fan Bingbing, who has not yet risen to prominence. Her performance in "The Knot" was indeed outstanding. The other is Rene Liu, who suffered a setback in this project, but she is still a Tokyo Film Festival Best Actress winner, so her acting skills are beyond question.

As for the other three, Yan Bingyan and Liu Jialing should not be underestimated either.

Yan Bingyan, in particular, is an outstanding actress in China. Although she is not very famous, Chen Yu has heard of her acting skills.

Liu Jialing is a Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress winner.

It's safe to say that this year's Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress was an absolute battle of the gods, with four Best Actress winners plus other talented actors vying for the title, making it a truly captivating event.

"Mr. Xie, shall we stop keeping you in suspense?"

Siqin Gaowa spoke to Xie Fei beside her, smiling as she looked down at the audience.

"Okay, let's draw the prize!"

The two chatted on stage for a while, and then Siqin Gaowa opened the envelope and looked at the list of winners. Her eyes widened slightly in surprise.

This shot was captured very well.

Many netizens are already making wild guesses.

"Oh no, that look is clearly one of utter astonishment!"

Why were you surprised?

"Because it was a total upset!"

"I feel the same way..."

"Definitely, the person who wins this award is definitely not very famous!"

"Holy crap, could it be... Yan...?"

"I think it's very possible!"

"Golden Rooster likes to do this kind of thing... Anyway, I feel like Fairy has no chance!"

"Me too, a Venice Film Festival Best Actress can't win a Golden Rooster Best Actress?"

"Hahaha!"

Countless people were sending comments on the screen, while Siqin Gaowa raised her head and said to the camera, word by word, "The winner of the Best Actress award at the 26th Golden Rooster Awards is—"

Swish!
She suddenly handed the envelope to Xie Fei, who chuckled and said, "Liu... Yifei!"

"Congratulations!"

"..."

Not only were the netizens watching on TV surprised, but even Liu Yifei in the audience was stunned.

The reason, of course, is that Siqin Gaowa's expression just now, just like netizens thought, must have been due to an unexpected upset to elicit such a micro-expression.

Why did she give me that look when I took it?!

Congratulations! Liu Yifei, the lead actress in "Better Days," has won the Best Actress award!

Siqin Gaowa clapped her hands and congratulated them.

Liu Yifei was completely bewildered.

Until her highlight scene from "Better Days" appeared on the big screen.

"She won an award for Best Actress!"

Chen Yu teased the girl next to him.

The other nominees could only offer their silent blessings.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

Liu Yifei certainly has the ability, and most importantly, she has Chen Yu guiding her everywhere, so she is already much stronger than them from the start.

"Ahhh, Yifei!"

"It's you! You won Best Actress!"

The entire cast and crew of "Better Days" stood up and cheered.

Tang Yan couldn't wait to hug Liu Yifei in front of her.

She was even happier than when she won the award herself.

"Sissi, you are so amazing!"

"Wait a moment--"

Siqin Gaowa suddenly cleared her throat, and the applause in the audience immediately stopped.

"Ok?"

Their gazes fell on Siqin Gaowa again, and everyone was considering what to say next after the awards had been presented.

"Yan Bingyan!"

Congratulations to Yan Bingyan for winning Best Actress at the 26th China Golden Rooster Awards, along with Liu Yifei for winning Best Actress at the same awards ceremony!

red!
The whole place was in an uproar!

It turned out to be the case.

Not only did Liu Yifei, who had just stood up and was about to go on stage, understand, but a group of netizens also realized what was going on.

"Damn, so that's how it is!"

"No wonder Ms. Siqin Gaowa had that expression when she opened the envelope!"

"This is truly astonishing!"

"Haha, who would have thought the Golden Rooster Awards would produce two Best Actress winners?"

"The other one was definitely a major upset!"

"Damn, Golden Rooster really knows how to play!"

No one expected that there would be two Best Actress winners this time.

This situation had occurred before with the Golden Rooster, so after a brief moment of surprise, everyone calmed down.

However, the applause was still thunderous.

This further demonstrates that the awards at this year's Golden Rooster Awards were fair.

Yan Bingyan, an unknown actress, won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress; while Liu Yifei proved herself once again.

Chen Yu had already anticipated this to some extent.

After all, the Best Actress award in the previous life was also a double yolk, with Yan Bingyan being the other actress, only the other one wasn't Liu Jialing.

In this life, Liu Yifei defeated her!
"Honey, I got it!"

Liu Yifei had a smile on her face, and her eyes and brows were full of gentleness.

As everyone naturally expected, Liu Yifei's role this time was indeed outstanding, especially her portrayal of Chen Nian, which made people feel sorry for her.

"Then why aren't you going up there yet?"

Liu Yifei had already stood up and hugged Chen Yu tightly.

Chen Yu hugged Liu Yifei tightly, and after letting go of the lovely woman in his arms, he began to hug other people.

His leading ladies always manage to shine under the spotlight, no matter when or where.

And in the live broadcast footage.

Countless people cheered wildly, and Zhou Yun also stood up and hugged Liu Yifei: "Qianqian, that was amazing, you were really amazing!"

Everyone can see the extent of their "relationship".

"Thank you husband!"

As Liu Yifei was about to walk towards the corridor, she whispered something in Chen Yu's ear.

Both of them were actually quite excited at that moment.

Even though they have already won the Venice Film Festival Best Actress award, as Chen Yu said, who would complain about having too many Best Actress awards?

I greeted all the staff and actors of "Better Days".

This time.

The spotlight shone on Liu Yifei again. She took a deep breath towards the camera, then waved and cheered to the crowd.

Always so grand and natural.

Another Best Actress nominee, Ms. Yan Bingyan, was already standing in the aisle, waiting to go on stage with Liu Yifei to receive the award.

Liu Yifei straightened her long skirt.

Just as she was about to walk forward, Chen Yu gathered the long hem of her skirt into her hands.

He then followed behind, trailing Liu Yifei's skirt.

Ouch!

This scene will undoubtedly be the focus tomorrow; everyone has already come up with the headline.

All eyes are on you, just to protect you.

This is practically a scene from a novel, and Chen Yu has made it a reality today.

Liu Yifei wore a shy smile.

She gently bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth until she reached the awards stage. (End of Chapter)
