Full-time actor

Chen Yu then returned to his seat.

Siqin Gaowa and Xie Fei have already accepted the trophies presented by the emcee.

One for each of the two people.

It was handed to Liu Yifei and Yan Bingyan.

"Thank you, Teacher Xie, thank you, Teacher Siqin Gaowa."

Siqin Gaowa liked Liu Yifei more and more as she looked at her; the child looked like an extraordinary person.

Yan Bingyan and Liu Yifei bowed deeply to the two people in front of them.

"Next, let's give the stage to two Best Actress winners, Liu Yifei and Yan Bingyan."

Holding the trophy in her hand, Liu Yifei felt an extraordinary joy at the weight of it. In China, the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress is generally quite well-regarded.

She subconsciously made a gesture of invitation.

Yan Bingyan is, after all, a senior.

Even though they both received the award, there are still rules to follow.

"Thank you to the Golden Rooster Awards judges for awarding me Best Actress..."

"..."

Yan Bingyan's acceptance speech lasted a full ten minutes, and she wasn't particularly famous among her contemporaries.

However, his acting skills are widely recognized as excellent.

Unfortunately, he has limited public recognition, making him a case of the show being more famous than he is.

This led to her being treated coldly throughout her acting career.

This time, they finally got their revenge.

The microphone was handed to Liu Yifei, and a burst of enthusiastic applause immediately erupted in the room.

This is absolutely an epic moment.

She recently won the Best Actress award at the Venice Film Festival, and now she has won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress.

Liu Yifei's current status and position have skyrocketed.

She's definitely on track to become a top-tier international actress, just like her man.

These two are practically a superstar couple in the Chinese entertainment industry!
"My hands are shaking a little."

Liu Yifei stood in front of the podium and suddenly chuckled softly.

These words were immediately met with good-natured laughter.

"So Liu Yifei!"

Chen Yu looked at Liu Yifei standing under the spotlight, clapping her hands.

As her partner, he was naturally proud that his girlfriend had received such an honor.

Although, this award is actually closely related to him.

But things can be accomplished by human effort, and this is the result of her own hard work; after years of perseverance, she has finally reaped the rewards.

"The Golden Rooster Award is very sacred to me. It has been my dream since I was aspired to be an actor!"

"Winning the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress makes me nervous, excited, and apprehensive!"

"Of course I want to thank the most important person in my life—"

Liu Yifei's gaze was fixed on Chen Yu, her eyes alluring and captivating.

Following these words, applause erupted once again.

Everyone in the room actually knew who she was talking about.

"Thank you, Director Chen Yu!"

"It was because he trusted me to entrust this important role that I had the opportunity to portray the character Chen Nian."

"Tsk tsk..."

Jiang Wen turned to look at Chen Yu beside her.

Although his face showed no change, his tightly clenched fingers betrayed his true feelings.

Why is this kid more nervous than if he won the award himself?

Actually, Chen Yu was secretly pleased!
What could be more exhilarating than having your wife thank you on stage in front of so many people?
This is even more exciting than winning an award myself.

"To be honest, after filming the role of Chen Nian, I couldn't get over it for a long time!"

“I understood her struggle.”

"I try to vent my dissatisfaction on the world, and whenever I can't release my emotions, my husband helps me relieve them!"

"Oh oh oh……"

The word "sir" alone was enough to make the audience watching the awards ceremony smile from ear to ear.

"Damn it, the grudge of having my wife stolen!"

"Damn Chen Yu!"

"Sir!!! I won't allow you to call me that!"

"Could you two please stop being affectionate in front of me?"

"Could you introduce me to your fiancée, Chen Yu?"

"..."

The live stream was filled with comments and jokes, and many young audience members and filmmakers were screaming and whistling.

Liu Yifei smiled and continued her acceptance speech: "I hope that through this film, everyone can pay attention to the issue of school bullying around us!"

"Pay attention to the unspoken words of countless children!"

"Thank you again—"

"The Golden Rooster Awards organizers awarded me Best Actress, and I will hone my acting skills to bring more great roles to everyone!"

"thank you all!"

clap clap clap!
The audience erupted in thunderous applause once again.

Every word they uttered came from the bottom of their hearts. This couple was so sincere that it was impossible not to like them.

Liu Yifei and Chen Yu's gazes met in the air, as if they were saying a thousand words...

"Fairy Sister has successfully transformed herself; let's see who dares to call her just a pretty face now."

"Deserved!"

"To be honest, Liu Yifei's performance was indeed good, but she still benefited from the script when she won the award this time."

"This script was based on Liu Yifei, and I think she portrayed the character very well."

"Our Sisi is the best!"

After both actresses who won Best Actress awards gave their acceptance speeches, Liu Yifei felt more relaxed than ever before.

Perhaps there was some hesitation before the award ceremony.

But now everything has settled down.

As she was about to descend the steps, dragging her long dress, a pair of hands reached out to her.

Chen Yu straightened Liu Yifei's skirt, and the two smiled at each other.

This moment was captured perfectly.

Everyone was just discussing how Liu Yifei benefited from the script.

In fact--

Not just anyone can play the leading lady in Chen Yu's plays.

The golden couple walked side by side off the stage. Yan Bingyan stepped aside at the right moment, and Liu Yifei quickly nodded to thank her.

Why haven't I heard of such a low-key and well-mannered actress before?

Liu Yifei wanted to suggest to Chen Yu that they could collaborate in the future.

The two returned to their seats, and Tang Yan was already impatient.

"Sisi, let me share in the joy."

This is the Best Actress award trophy. Everyone should have dreams. What if she has a chance to win a big award someday?

"Next up is Best Actor."

Liu Yifei whispered to Chen Yu, who looked up at her.

"what happened?"

Liu Yifei pursed her lips, a slight smile on her face.

"You care about this award even more than I do!"

"Same here!"

"Haha~~"

The two exchanged a smile; in fact, they both hoped to win the award.

I'm the one who doesn't really care about it.

Ni Ping had already returned to the stage.

"Every movie has supporting roles and main characters!"

"The most vibrant red flower is the one that is in full bloom and most beautiful; it has just given birth to two babies!"

"Next, we will be awarding the most shining leaf, which is set against the backdrop of green leaves!"

"..."

After Ni Ping's passionate speech and interaction with another male host, Zhu Jun, he finally invited the award presenters: "Let's give a warm round of applause to the next award presenters!"

"Shu Qi, Xia Yu".

One is one of the young actors in mainland China who has won the most Best Actor awards, and the other is a double Best Actress winner of the Golden Horse Award and the Hong Kong Film Award.

They were the presenters for the Best Actor award.

Naturally, this became the highlight of the awards ceremony that evening.

Actually, Xia Yu had already presented the award once, which was the Newcomer Award.

The two walked hand in hand onto the stage, where they were met with thunderous applause. Everyone showed them great respect.

A head of sexy, big waves.

Shu Qi exudes elegance in every gesture, drawing everyone's attention with each movement.

She can be considered one of the most successful at transitioning from fame to adulthood.

"It is a pleasure to present the Best Actor award. Now let's witness this historic moment tonight."

Shu Qi's voice echoed throughout the venue.

The applause from the audience never stopped from beginning to end.

"Hello everyone, I'm Xia Yu!"

"Hey, by the way, Xia Yu, I heard you have a pretty good relationship with these Best Actor nominees?"

Shu Qi looked at Xia Yu beside her. Xia Yu nodded: "Yes, one of them is my senior, one is my junior, and the other is Chen Kun, an actor I admire very much!"

"And of course, there's also Professor Liu Peiqi and Professor Qiu Lin!"

Qiu Lin is an amazing actor.

A year ago, he was just a tour guide.

However, because Zhang Yimou was filming "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles," he couldn't find an actor who could speak both Yunnan dialect and Japanese. In the end, the casting director unexpectedly came across him.

A Yunnan tour guide who specializes in working with Japanese tour groups.

It just so happened that the film "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles" needed a male supporting actor to act as a tour guide for the male lead, Ken Takakura, so he was lucky enough to be selected and became the legendary "Zhang Yimou's leading man".

Then, she officially entered the entertainment industry.

The second film I made was "The Messenger of Shambhala," for which I was nominated for Best Actor.

And surprisingly, he was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor this year for his role in "A Thousand Miles".

"Please look!"

After chatting for a while, Shu Qi pointed behind him: "The nominees for Best Actor at the 26th Golden Rooster Awards are—"

Shu Qi laughed.

"What a tense atmosphere! Now, my partner Xia Yu will announce the nominees."

Xia Yu was singled out.

He looked directly at the audience.

"I'm not even this nervous when I receive awards."

"Let's get straight to the point and look at the big screen!"

As Xia Yu's voice came through, the list of nominees appeared on the screen.

"The Sun Also Rises" - Jiang Wen.

"The Messenger of Shambhala" - Qiu Lin.

Five Bullets – Liu Peiqi

"Yunshuiyao" - by Chen Kun.

"Better Days" - Chen Yu

……

Five works, five talented actors.

Especially Jiang Wen and Chen Yu.

Both of them are award-winning actors, and Liu Peiqi is certainly no less impressive, a veteran actor among veteran actors.

The other two, while lacking in some aspects, also contributed significantly to the quality of their work.

Therefore, this competition has generated anticipation, especially since three of the five participants are very famous.

The acting of the cast was always improving, with no limit to how good it could be.

The announcement of the nomination list immediately intensified the atmosphere in the room.

Those present began to chatter amongst themselves.

Zhang Yimou looked at the two people beside him; Jiang Wen and Chen Yu were both nominated for Best Actor.

It was indeed the popular choice.

The reason why "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles" failed to make the nomination list this time is simple: Ken Takakura is Japanese, and he could have applied, but he voluntarily gave up.

However, Zhang Yimou does not feel disappointed.

The arts should be a diverse field, and he never intended to dominate.

With the announcement of the Best Actor nominations, the live stream's popularity has more than doubled.

What everyone enjoys most is the competition for the grand prize.

These five nominated contestants, especially Chen Yu, Chen Kun, and Jiang Wen, are all well-known figures.

"It appears to be a three-way standoff, but in reality it is a struggle between Chu and Han."

"That makes sense. The most likely winners are Chen Yu, Jiang Wen, and Liu Peiqi. A deeper discussion is just a competition between Chen Yu and Jiang Wen."

"Personally, I think it's Chen Yu; his almost self-destructive acting is absolutely amazing."

"It's absolutely secure. It's been recognized by the country. Jinji is very good at changing his tune."

"The Golden Rooster Awards tend to favor politics and the arts, but I think Jiang Wen has a better chance."

"Where did you put my Brother Kun?"

"..."

While netizens were discussing it, cheers erupted backstage at the Golden Rooster Awards.

The statisticians were already extremely busy, and with Liu Yifei and Chen Yu's affection captured in a moment, the buzz only continued to grow.

In addition, there's the Best Actor award that will be announced next.

The showdown between Jiang Wen and Chen Yu was, to some extent, very satisfying.

"Director Chen, I think we might break 8 this time!"

This is not an exaggeration.

Chen Xini turned her head to look at the data in front of her, her expression quite inscrutable.

She didn't change her mind because of what the statistician said.

In fact, she already had many ideas in mind, as the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony had never had the chance to break 8 in previous years.

Precisely.

Not only the Golden Rooster Awards, but apart from the Spring Festival Gala, CCTV-6 has never had such high viewership ratings.

If she can break 8 today, it will definitely be the most brilliant moment in Chen Xini's career, even though it was a fortune bestowed upon her by Chen Yu.

But grades are grades, and she was lucky nonetheless.

"It has to be said that Chen Yu is still too authoritative."

"The moment he appeared, the live stream went viral."

"He's definitely going to win Best Actor this time."

The statistician had clearly taken sides. To him, Chen Yu was already a loan-winning actor, mainly because his contribution to the ratings was too great, and of course they hoped he could win the award.

But... Chen Yu has already won two Golden Rooster Awards.

He broke the Golden Rooster's dominance of two seals, so how could he possibly seal it three times?

The popularity of the entire live stream, as well as the viewership of Princess Six, continued to soar.

The camera then returned to the venue, where the screen displayed the outstanding performances of several nominated actors.

Chen Yu's bruised and swollen face appeared on the big screen.

This scene.

This left everyone sighing in dismay.

They had all heard that Chen Yu was a real actor, and the injuries on his face were just too realistic.

Shu Qi held the envelope in her hand.

Xia Yu and the other person are not in a hurry to make it public.

"Xia Yu, guess who will win the prize?"

"what?"

Xia Yu opened his mouth, but in the end he could only straighten his tie with a serious expression: "This is a difficult question to answer!"

"Deep down, I definitely favor my seniors and juniors from the Central Academy of Drama!"

"Director Jiang Wen was my mentor, and I've worked with Chen Yu before..."

Difficulty!

This is too difficult!

The guy sighed, feigning hesitation.

In reality, it really whetted everyone's appetite, leaving everyone with an intense, agonizing curiosity.

Who will ultimately win Best Actor?
Jiang Wen? Chen Yu? Chen Kun?

Seeing that the murmurs in the room were gradually subsiding, Shu Qi opened the envelope: "Alright, we won't keep you in suspense any longer, everyone's been waiting impatiently!"

"Ha ha!"

Xia Yu took out the award letter.

"Let's wait and see."

The winner of the Best Actor award at the 26th China Golden Rooster Awards is—

Liu Yifei gripped Chen Yu's hand tightly.

My heart was pounding.

She hopes to share this honor with Chen Yu, making it another memorable moment.

Originally, Venice did not fulfill the dream of having both Best Actor and Best Actress in the same year, and she hopes that the Golden Rooster can help them realize their dream!
Girls in their twenties are always as romantic as springtime.

Girls’ feelings are always poetry!
The entire venue had fallen completely silent.

Shu Qi made a gesture of invitation on the stage, the meaning of which was particularly clear.

The opportunity to announce the final awards was given to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu: "..."

This is such a hot potato, I can't take it!

This scene between the two people put the minds of the audience at ease once again.

Too tormented.

Jiang Wen turned to look at Chen Yu; this kid wasn't even as nervous as Liu Yifei was when she won the award.

In fact, he knew this situation would occur.

Since their works came one after the other, there's always a possibility that they'll clash head-on.

Chen Yu attended the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony primarily to help Liu Yifei win an award.

Secondly, I still have a strong attachment to the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor.

Chen Yu had already won Best Actor awards at the Hundred Flowers Awards and the Huabiao Awards, and this was his fourth time being nominated for Best Actor at the Golden Rooster Awards.

He would naturally be happy to get it if he could.

Even if there is a rift between him and the Golden Rooster Award, the award still holds considerable prestige.

Xia Yu accepted the award letter.

His movements were so methodical and precise, clearly designed to kill everyone's curiosity.

Finally, he shouted it out loud: "Better Days, Chen Yu!"

"Congratulations, junior!!!" (End of Chapter)
