Full-time actor

You really scared me just now!

Liu Yifei accepted the trophy from Chen Yu, her expression one of utter admiration.

Chen Yu always does things that she doesn't expect.

No matter what the person in front of her does, she will obviously support them without hesitation.

True courage is staying true to your roots.

Chen Yu's ability to go this far impressed her with his courage.

The situation has finally eased somewhat.

Even though Chen Jianzhou maintained a polite smile while standing on the stage, one could still sense the impact of the recent incident on him.

The internet is already in an uproar because of what just happened.

Based on what happened today, everyone can naturally see the two-faced nature of some actors.

"Next!"

"Please welcome our award presenter, director Wang Jiawei, to announce the next award."

Chen Jianzhou tried his best to calm himself down.

After retreating backstage, Wang Jiawei stepped onto the stage.

He is about to present the grand finale award of this year's Golden Horse Awards—Best Director.

This time, Wang Jiawei once again appeared with his signature sunglasses look.

"It's a pleasure to be a presenter for the Best Director award this time."

"I've always wondered, what is a director?"

As he said this, Wong Kar-wai adjusted his sunglasses, maintaining his sophisticated demeanor: "We'll leave that question to the next winner."

"Look at the nominations!"

The following directors were nominated for Best Director at the 44th Golden Horse Awards:

Wang Jiawei truly lives up to his nickname "Sunglasses King"—his words are concise and to the point, and everyone is already eagerly anticipating what's to come.

Even though the little incident just now affected their mood.

But I'm still more concerned about who will win the next award.

The outstanding works of this year are evident to all.

Immediately, everyone began to speculate whether Chen Yu would still win the Best Director award!

"Please look at the big screen!"

Swish!
As Wang Jiawei's voice rang out, the nomination list for this year's competition instantly appeared on the big screen.

The Sun Also Rises (by Jiang Wen)

Tracking - Yau Nai-hoi
Chen Yu, *Better Days*

……

The announcement of the nominations caused a brief stir in the audience.

Although they knew Chen Yu was still shortlisted, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves when they saw his name pop up on the big screen.

Everyone looked at the screen, but this time Chen Yu's face did not appear.

Domestic broadcast sources have discovered that Chen Yu's scenes are no longer being shown.

Liu Yifei and the others naturally noticed this problem.

On the entire large screen, only Jiang Wen and You Naihai were visible.

This was clearly done on purpose, mainly because of Chen Yu's recent remarks.

Upon noticing that her husband was being treated unfairly, Liu Yifei exclaimed angrily, "That's so mean!"

This scene also drew some dissatisfaction from the audience.

Online, even more netizens have begun to voice their accusations.

"Is the Golden Horse Awards a game they can't afford to play?"

"Look at this award, Brother Yu has been nominated!"

"Best Director!"

"I don't think we can get it. After what Brother Yu just said, how could we possibly give it to him?"

"Not necessarily. It's pre-selected by vote and can't be changed."

Where is Chen Yuren?

"Only his fragile heart is clearly broken."

"..."

Chen Yu watched the stage quietly, showing no emotional change whatsoever due to the current situation.

However, before he turned to look at his beloved wife, her face was clearly contorted with anger.

The way he gritted his teeth looked adorable.

"You want me to win an award?"

After hearing her boyfriend's words, Liu Yifei finally calmed down.

It's clearly not because of that issue.

She was angry because of the Golden Horse Awards' inaction.

"It has to be said that Jiang Wen's films are like fine wine."

"..."

"The longer it is aged, the more you can appreciate its flavor."

After hearing Wang Jiawei's praise, everyone subconsciously assumed that Jiang Wen might be able to continue the miracle.

After winning the Golden Rooster Award, he might just win the Golden Horse Award for Best Director.

Wang Jiawei pushed up his sunglasses and slowly opened the award letter.

"I have a suggestion—"

"Next time, remember to include an explanation manual, otherwise ordinary people like us won't be able to understand this profound stuff."

Wang Jiawei's words immediately caused the entire audience to burst into laughter.

The tense atmosphere from just now was somewhat eased by Wong Kar-wai; it must be said that Wong Kar-wai does have a certain ability to warm up the atmosphere, much better than the black man standing next to him.

"Hahaha!"

Everyone knows the relationship between Wang Jiawei and Jiang Wen; they are both rivals and friends.

The two always openly mocked each other.

Perhaps artists always have their own unique way of interacting with each other.

With Wong Kar-wai constantly mentioning Jiang Wen, everyone knew perfectly well that Jiang Wen might win Best Director again this year.

This result actually relieved many people present.

After all that situation just happened, everyone is now avoiding Chen Yu like the plague.

I carefully examined the award letter in front of me.

Netizens couldn't help but joke that they wondered if Wong Kai-wai could even see the words clearly while wearing sunglasses.

as predicted.

After staring at it for a moment, Wang Jiawei turned the card in front of him around.

It's clearly upside down.

"Excuse me, let me double-check!"

Wang Jiawei smiled, but his expression suddenly turned serious: "The winner of the Best Director award at the 44th Golden Horse Awards is—"

This pause silenced everyone present.

In my mind, it was as if I had forgotten the controversial scene with Chen Yu just now.

The moment everyone has been waiting for has arrived.

Next comes the announcement of the final results.

Best director!
Even the usually domineering and composed Jiang Wen was a little nervous at this moment.

Even though they have won too many awards, not a single director has ever said that they would complain about not winning enough Best Director awards.
What's more, he is currently the most prestigious director in the Chinese-language film industry, having won the Golden Horse Award for Best Director.

He had even prepared a draft.

If we win an award, we must support Chen Yu's speech.

Given that Wang Jiawei kept urging him, the situation should be stable now, right?
She turned her head to look at Chen Yu beside her.

The latter remained unfazed even when Mount Tai collapsed before him.

He showed absolutely no emotional change in the face of the situation.

"Chen Yu!"

Wang Jiawei suddenly looked up and smiled slightly: "Better Days!"

"Congratulations!"

boom--

The stadium erupted once again.

The stadium resounded with applause, and Liu Yifei was overjoyed.

In fact, she had just lost all hope.

Surprisingly, the awards were fair.

Or rather, the organizers of the Golden Horse Awards didn't have time to make any changes because it was being broadcast live.

"Honey, you won an award!"

"Best Director!"

"Ahhhh!!!"

Best director!

This should be Chen Yu's first Best Director award, and it is also an affirmation of his debut film.

Receiving such an honor for his directorial debut is indeed a highlight.

A young director, brimming with youthful vigor.

"That's fantastic!" Liu Yifei looked at the person in front of her, her voice filled with excitement.

Chen Yu wore a faint smile, then stood up and hugged everyone present.

Jiang Wen was momentarily stunned when she learned the result.

After all that had happened, he thought he was going to win Best Director.

However, at this moment, the award has already taken on a special meaning.

Chen Yu was happy to receive it.

"Congratulations, Brother Yu!"

He reached out and patted Chen Yu on the shoulder, which was a sign of approval.

Chen Yu turned around and waved to the crowd, which drew applause and screams from behind.

Everyone sincerely wished him well, especially the group of filmmakers from mainland China who were competing, and they were clearly even more excited at this moment.

Because the meanings are different.

But some are happy and some are sad.

Many locals at the Golden Horse Awards looked quite embarrassed, and the host, Chen Jianzhou, looked even more unpleasant.

Recalling what had just happened, he wished he could skip Chen Yu's acceptance speech with a single click.

He hugged everyone present.

The crew of "Better Days" was overjoyed.

Today's awards have already been swept by their production team.

This is strength!
This is the ninth award! "Better Days" has absolutely dominated this year's Golden Horse Awards.

Liu Yifei helped Chen Yu straighten his suit, and the golden couple's appearance on camera excited netizens.

Many people in the comments section exclaimed how awesome it was.

Chen Yu then looked back at the awards stage.

Noticing the imposing presence of the person in front of them, many of the actors from Taiwan began whispering amongst themselves again.

They never expected that Chen Yu would return to power.

As for now, the biggest worry is that Chen Yu might say something inappropriate.

The words I just heard were still echoing in my ears: they had always disagreed with the idea of ​​unification on both sides.

Who would have thought that Chen Yu would be so bold as to announce it?

They clearly wouldn't allow something like this to happen again.

……

As he walked toward the awards stage, Chen Yu remained resolute.

Chen Jianzhou's expression was unfriendly as he stared intently at Chen Yu, who was walking towards the awards stage.

only.

Faced with everything before him, he had no choice but to fly into a rage of impotence.

Chen Yu's award is absolutely well-deserved.

His position has remained unshakeable from beginning to end.

Wang Jiawei took the trophy from the emcee and went straight to Chen Yu, handing it to him.

Congratulations, Brother Yu!

"I've fulfilled my life's script."

"Winning Best Director at such a young age is truly enviable!"

Wang Jiawei has witnessed Chen Yu's rise to prominence.

From a fledgling actor to his current status, even he has to admire his own achievements.

The two actually have a good relationship.

We've exchanged ideas several times at the three major European film festivals.

Chen Yu's award brought Wang Jiawei a broad smile to his face.

"Thank you."

"Now let's hand the stage over to Brother Yu. I'm sure everyone is looking forward to your acceptance speech!"

Wang Jiawei was clearly implying something.

These words immediately broke the defenses of many people in the audience.

"Thank you!"

Chen Yu smiled and nodded, then went straight to the microphone.

The expressions of the people in the audience varied, most of them were just there to watch the show, but naturally there were also those who strongly supported Chen Yu.

A small number of people had their eyes fixed on Chen Yu on the stage.

His face was already frighteningly dark, as if he was about to rush onto the stage at any moment.

"But Yu-ge is the most promising. This time, Duwei is going to break through their defenses."

"Support Chen Yu!"

"It is an inseparable part of us."

"Firm stance!"

"come on!"

The live stream chat was flooded with comments, everyone was showing their support for Chen Yu.

After all, it takes courage to say such things in this kind of situation.

"Oh oh oh~~~"

A group of people in the audience were clapping and cheering.

"Thank you!"

Chen Yu spoke again, and with his gesture, the entire Golden Horse Awards ceremony fell silent.

Some people wanted to hear Chen Yu's acceptance speech, wondering if he would make another bold statement.

Yes, it was anger.

I want to hear what kind of filth this guy will spew from his mouth this time.

It can be said that Chen Yu has now managed to evoke both love and hate from the audience.

But I can't do anything about him.

After all, the other party's status, position, and strength are undeniable.

"First of all, thank you to the Golden Horse Awards jury for awarding me the Best Director honor!"

"Standing on the stage, I was even more nervous than when I was acting for the first time!"

Chen Yu appeared very calm, as if he wasn't the one who had just caused a sensation.

He smiled calmly, and those who didn't know him would think he was extremely grateful to the Golden Horse Awards.

Of course, this wasn't just a polite remark.

Chen Yu has seen all kinds of storms and can handle all kinds of big scenes with ease, but the Best Director award... is indeed a first for him!

"Being able to stand out among so many excellent works is a pleasant surprise for me."

"I'm good at acting, but when it comes to directing, I still need to learn more from the experience of my seniors!"

Chen Yu paused.

This moment made many people's hearts leap into their throats.

They were afraid he would say something provocative on stage.

"Thank you to the crew who poured their hearts and souls into 'Better Days'."

"Thank you all for your hard work, both on and off stage, which has given me the opportunity to receive this honor today."

"I always approached this film with a sense of awe."

"In my opinion, youth is precious and should not be tainted by school bullying."

"Both the pain and resilience of the young people deserve to be taken seriously."

"I want to thank all the actors who participated in this film for being able to interpret this story so well. It is your performances that brought the characters to life."

"We should also thank Ms. Liu Yifei the most!"

"Without her, 'Better Days' wouldn't be so perfect. She portrayed Chen Nian in the best way, and also inspired Xiao Bei, who wanted to protect him for the rest of her life!"

Swah——

Liu Yifei's face appeared on the big screen, and she smiled sweetly.

His eyes gleamed with pride.

Having a boyfriend like that would probably make most people laugh in their dreams.

"at last--"

"Ok?"

As soon as Chen Yu and his companion spoke, many people in the audience seemed to be under stress and suddenly became tense.

Come again?

Does this guy still want to leave Taiwan?

The directors on the side were all ready to switch shots at any time.

Chen Yu deliberately dragged out the same old tune.

Finally, after a full second of pause, Chen Yu said loudly, "I want to say something to all the young people: the road to growth is full of thorns, but I hope you can believe that there will always be someone fighting alongside you!"

"Thank you!"

wow——

The audience erupted in applause, accompanied by a chorus of gasps for breath.

tension.

It was so stressful.

This guy scared a lot of people half to death! (End of Chapter)
