The fact that Chen Daoming won the Best Actor award has caused an uproar on the Chinese internet.

[Teacher Chen won the Best Actor award at Cannes! That's amazing!]

This is the third Chinese actor to win the Cannes Best Actor award.

[Six yolks! Cannes really knows how to pull this off. But no matter how many Best Actor awards there are, congratulations to Mr. Chen for winning the Cannes Best Actor award. This is an honor for Chinese actors.]

Cheng Sheng is amazing! He's mentored more Best Actor winners than anyone else; he's practically a professional at mentoring Best Actor winners!

[Upstairs, there's something wrong with what you're saying. What do you mean by "absolutely"? It means "definitely".]

[The male actors in the entertainment industry are definitely making moves now. As long as they get involved with Cheng Sheng, a Best Actor award at one of the three major European awards is practically guaranteed.]

[I seriously doubt Cheng Sheng is Wan Defu. Does he have a special preference for men? Otherwise, why are only men winning Best Actor awards? What about actresses? Didn't he ever consider letting actresses win Best Actress?]

Haha, you're amazing, upstairs! But you're just like me.

Although there were rumors online that Cheng Sheng had sexually harassed his sugar daddy's girlfriend, this has been proven false. It's just someone trying to smear Cheng Sheng. Apart from that, it seems Cheng Sheng hasn't had any other scandals with female celebrities! A director who doesn't sexually harass actresses—he's just a man who likes women!

[What a waste! If I were Cheng Sheng, I would definitely make a movie and sexually harass one actress.]

Hey everyone, aren't we getting a bit off-topic? The important thing is that Mr. Chen won Best Actor, shouldn't we be discussing that?

[What's there to discuss about Teacher Chen? Wasn't it expected that he'd win Best Actor? He was at the Cannes Film Festival, aren't you all curious about the news about "Three Kingdoms" at Cannes?]

[To the person upstairs: please elaborate, preferably including the plot of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".]

Yes, yes, the movie "Three Kingdoms" won't be released in China for another two months, and people are getting impatient!

[Hehe, let's skip the spoilers, they'll affect your viewing experience. Instead, let me talk about how popular "Three Kingdoms" was at Cannes!]

[You wouldn't believe it, but after watching "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," the Europeans in Cannes were completely obsessed. They were searching everywhere for history books related to the Three Kingdoms period. Books on Chinese history have sold out in Cannes, just like after "The Great Tang Dynasty 1" was released in Europe and America. Any book on Chinese history was snapped up.]

[And what's more, in Cannes, every European was talking about our country's history. I felt like my worldview was being shaken! Can you imagine?! Do foreigners ever talk to you about their own country's history?]

[Wow! This is cultural export! One film, *The Great Tang Dynasty 1*, introduced Europe to the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties. Now, with *Three Kingdoms*, they're exporting Han Dynasty history to Cannes. What magic does Cheng Sheng possess to achieve this? In terms of exporting domestic culture, probably no other director in China can match him.]

Cheng Sheng is truly a source of pride for the Chinese people.

[What a pity! If I weren't working like a slave for my boss, I'd love to go to Cannes and experience the charm of foreigners discussing Chinese history.]

[Hehe, there's something else you might not know: the creators of "Three Kingdoms" are incredibly popular in Cannes right now. Every tourist is chasing after them for autographs and photos! Sorry, I also took a photo with Director Chen, I'll post it with you all later.]

[One more thing, the posters for "Three Kingdoms" displayed in the Cannes film theater were stolen! Do you know who stole them? It was actually theater staff! They sold the three stolen posters to a German man for a high price. Apparently, this German man is a huge fan of "Three Kingdoms."]

[Holy crap, is this German guy really that crazy? He even steals movie posters from the theater!]

[I can't imagine what it will be like when the film is released in August, given that it's only Cannes now.]

It seems the actors from "Three Kingdoms" are about to become incredibly famous.

[Damn, I can't wait any longer, friends! Anyone want to leave a message on the China Film Group website and ask them to release "Three Kingdoms" ahead of schedule?!]

There's been a lot of online discussion about Chen Daoming winning the Best Actor award, and even the TV series "Three Kingdoms" has become a topic of conversation. And the entertainment industry, being a key sector, is even more abuzz.

Everyone was an insider of Professor Chen Daoming, and they immediately posted on their blogs to congratulate him.

As the first Cannes Best Actor winner, Ge You, and a good friend of director Chen, posted a photo of the trophy online and wrote a congratulatory message: Congratulations, Mr. Chen. His achievements are the result of his hard work and dedication over the years. He truly deserves this award.

Although Feng Xiaogang and Cheng Sheng were at odds, Chen Daoming remained his friend. When Chen Daoming won the Cannes Best Actor award, even though Feng Xiaogang was unhappy with Cheng Sheng, he still posted a congratulatory message: "Congratulations to Lao Chen for winning the Cannes Best Actor award."

Zhang Guoli, Chen Daoming's long-time collaborator, also posted immediately: "He said it, and he did it. I'm proud of you, international superstar. I also wish Director Cheng can win Best Film."

Gong Li: "Teacher Chen is awesome."

Zuo Xiaoqing: "Congratulations, Teacher Chen, you are the best."

Hu Jun: "Congratulations to Teacher Chen on becoming the Cannes Best Actor, and congratulations to Director Cheng Sheng."

Many stars, including Wang Zhiwen, Xu Qing, and Chen Baoguo, posted online to congratulate Chen Daoming on winning the Cannes 'Best Actor' award.

The fact that so many veteran artists and new generation stars offered their congratulations demonstrates Chen Daoming's status in the Chinese entertainment industry.

In addition, Chen Daoming's new company, Orange Sky Entertainment, also published a long article online, giving Chen Daoming a huge boost in popularity.

The happiest person to see Chen Daoming win the award was undoubtedly Wang Jinhua, since Chen Daoming was one of her artists.

The most unhappy ones should be the Wang brothers of Huayi.

After all, Chen Daoming was still one of Huayi's people last year. If Chen Daoming hadn't left with Wang Jinhua, then Huayi would have shared in the honor of winning the Cannes Best Actor award.

They haven't gained any benefits yet, so it's normal for them to be unhappy. They probably hate Wang Jinhua to death.

……

After delivering his acceptance speech, Chen Daoming stepped down from the stage with a beaming smile, waving to the guests who had congratulated him.

"Congratulations, Teacher Chen."

"Teacher Chen, I'm so envious! Can I touch it?"

As soon as Chen Daoming returned to his seat, Bao Guoan congratulated him first, and then Hong Yuzhou said enviously.

Director Chen smiled and handed the Best Actor trophy to Hong Yuzhou.

Hong Yu stroked his elbow as if it were a precious treasure, gently wiping it with one hand.

"Teacher Hong, it's my turn. I want to touch it too."

"Da Tian Tian said impatiently."

Seeing this, Hong Yuzhou reluctantly gave the trophy to Da Tiantian.

Da Tian Tian smiled as she held the trophy in her hands, her eyes filled with boundless longing.
