Chinese Entertainment: Top-Tier Boyfriends of Young Actresses

Chapter 112 Tonight, we are full of vigor and high spirits!

The party officially began shortly after Su Yu took his seat.

To be honest, despite the large number of people attending tonight's gala, which seems to have included half of the entertainment industry, the Star Awards is essentially a feast of distributing spoils.

Anyone with even a little fame and a few works can win an award; it's fair to say everyone gets a prize.

Awards like Newcomer of the Year, Potential Artist of the Year, Breakthrough Star of the Year, and Style Icon of the Year —

The sheer number of awards makes one wonder if the organizers have a dedicated department for creating award names.

This is understandable, since it's just an event organized by a video platform, not an academic selection like the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards. The public can understand that.

The only truly valuable award in the entire gala was the "VIP Star of the Year" award.

This award is selected based on multiple dimensions, including the popularity of an artist's works throughout the year, new member acquisition data, platform interaction index, and commercial value. Winning this award is equivalent to being stamped with the "Most Commercially Valuable Artist of the Year" by the platform.

The entire awards ceremony followed a rhythm of alternating performances and awards presentations, with celebrities taking turns going on stage to accept awards and give acceptance speeches.

They come off the stage to applaud, and then another round of performances begins, repeating this cycle.

Most of the previous awards were focused on encouraging categories such as Newcomer of the Year, Breakthrough of the Year, and Style of the Year, and the winners were mostly second- or third-tier artists and emerging newcomers.

Although they were all consolation prizes, everyone present was very respectful, and whenever someone went on stage to receive an award, everyone would give them a round of applause.

After all, we're all in the same industry. If you receive a consolation prize today, I'll applaud you; if I receive a consolation prize tomorrow, you'll cheer me on. This kind of tacit understanding is an established practice in the industry.

However, the performances of the award recipients were rather bland, and their acceptance speeches were mostly standard thank-you templates, lacking the kind of memorable moments that everyone was hoping for to go viral.

But when Zhang Yixing went on stage, a strange thing happened.

He won a music award that night for his album of the year. When he went on stage to accept the trophy, his expression seemed quite normal. He gave a standard polite smile, bowed slightly, and shook hands with the presenter.

Just when everyone thought he would read a standard thank-you speech like the other award recipients and then leave the stage, he suddenly knelt down on one knee without warning, lowered his head, and his lips pressed firmly onto the stage floor.

Those present exchanged glances, and the guests who were close by wore a subtle expression on their faces—wanting to laugh but not daring to, wanting to applaud but unsure whether they should.

Su Yu was sitting in the middle of the second row, and he almost couldn't hold back when he saw this scene.

Wait, does this guy have some kind of special fondness for floors?

However, thanks to the facial expression training he had done before, Su Yu managed to keep it in place, but the muscles at the corners of his mouth still twitched uncontrollably.

But the photographers on site were incredibly astute.

The moment Zhang Yixing made that kissing gesture on the stage, the director realized what was happening and immediately pointed the camera at the most popular artists in the audience, including Su Yu.

The extremely subtle twitch at the corner of Su Yu's mouth was clearly captured on camera.

Yang Mi wasn't so polite. Her expression was rather casual; after seeing Zhang Yixing's reaction, she excitedly said to Hua Chenyu beside her, "Look, look! I'm kneeling!"

The reactions of these three people were captured on video, and within ten minutes, they were turned into comparison GIFs and went viral on Weibo.

After doing this, Zhang Yixing felt neither embarrassed nor ashamed. He stood up, bowed to the audience, and happily left the stage, his expression even showing a hint of satisfaction.

Su Yu couldn't help but sigh. People who can make it in this industry are indeed extraordinary; they really have thick skin.

The composure with which he kissed the floor in front of tens of millions of live viewers without batting an eye is something most people can't learn.

Whether it was Zhang Yixing who set a precedent or not, after his historic moment of kissing the stage, the award recipients who came on stage afterward also began to compete fiercely.

Some treated the awards stage like a stand-up comedy show, cracking jokes and even casually giving up on their new dramas.

Some even became flower-giving ambassadors for the entire event, not only handing their best friends their base layers to keep them warm offstage, but also giving flowers to many friends who went on stage to receive awards. One of them, whose nickname contained the word "flower," received the special treatment of being given flowers twice, and was successfully elected as the most popular person of the event.

Some were so cold that their lips turned purple and their voices trembled when they spoke, yet they still had to rush back to the set to continue filming after the shoot, earning them the title of "hard-working model workers" from the media.

The audience in the audience and those watching the live stream were thoroughly enjoying the show, with bursts of laughter coming one after another.

Su Yu leaned back in his chair, watching the performances, some genuine and some meticulously planned, and thought that this was probably the ultimate form of an awards ceremony.

The fans were happy because their idols were shining on stage;

Celebrities have gained attention because their reactions and memorable moments will stay on the trending topics for days.

The platform gained viewership because viewers love this kind of entertainment;

The onlookers have had their fill of gossip, because today's trending topics will keep them entertained all night.

This is a win-win-win situation for all four of us; everyone's wins are overwhelming!

Soon, the awards ceremony came to a close, and the most prestigious "VIP Star of the Year" was about to be announced.

Although Su Yu had been notified by the platform before the draw that he would win the grand prize tonight, he still felt unusually nervous.

What if the platform changes its mind at the last minute?

Although Tencent had no reason to sabotage him in this matter, he had been in this industry for a long time and knew that anything could change.

"VIP Star of the Year – Su Yu from 'A Love So Beautiful'! Congratulations!"

Su Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the platform didn't cause any trouble.

If he really ends up with nothing, that would be a real mess.

A top influencer with over 300,000 Weibo interactions and check-ins won nothing at the awards ceremony of a platform he has a deep partnership with. Tomorrow, he will be ridiculed by fans of his rivals and become the number one trending topic.

Yang Mi stood up a short distance away, extended her hand to him, and said with a polite smile, "Congratulations."

Su Yu grasped her hand, smiled, and nodded in thanks. "Congratulations to you too, Sister Mi."

Then the two walked side by side toward the stage.

The lighting was dim in the audience, but he could feel that many eyes were watching him.

The young actors, who were his age or older, sat in their seats, their eyes following his retreating figure.

These people all revealed complex emotions to varying degrees. Some were genuinely envious, some were secretly jealous, some were disdainful, and some were resentful.

The little raindrops present cheered wildly the moment they heard Su Yu's name.

Blue light signs lit up simultaneously in the darkness, from the second row to the last row, from the left side to the right side, the scattered blue lights intertwining into a flowing galaxy.

Screams erupted one after another as many people shouted Su Yu's name over and over again.

The sounds converged, like waves crashing against the edge of the stage.

And Su Yu was standing right in the center of this galaxy!

Su Yu glanced around at the crowd below the stage.

He knows that many people are not convinced by his current achievements, but he doesn't care!

Because the person standing here right now is none other than him, Su Yu!

He took a deep breath to calm himself. He held the trophy in one hand and the microphone in the other.

"I am very happy to receive this award today. Thank you Tencent Video, thank you Tencent Video All Star Awards, thank you to all the staff of the 'A Love So Beautiful' crew. Without your hard work, this drama would not have been a success. Thank you also to every member of our studio."

"At the same time, I would like to especially thank my fans, because without you, there would be no Su Yu standing on this stage today."

At this moment, Tian Xiwei, sitting in the audience, looked at Su Yu, who was full of vigor and confidence on the stage. Suddenly, all the awkwardness and grievances in her heart disappeared, leaving only endless joy.

She gently raised the corners of her mouth, her heart filled with pride: Look, this is her man!

Xiaotian also received an award tonight, Newcomer of the Year, which is a great encouragement for her.

Outside the venue, Wang Churan was sitting on her bed watching a live stream on her phone.

Su Yu's face on the screen was mostly obscured by the barrage of comments. She turned off the comments, moved closer to the screen, and looked at her beloved with a face full of infatuation.

She watched him shine brightly on stage, feeling both proud and aggrieved.

She was pleased that the person was her boyfriend, but saddened that she could only watch him on the screen.

Su Yu's gaze inadvertently swept over a seat in the fourth row, where Tian Xiwei was sitting, her bright eyes quietly watching him.

At that moment, a sudden impulse welled up inside him.

After pausing for a moment, he spoke again.

"I want to thank all of you who have always supported and loved me. Thank you for being with me all this way, and thank you for your love and understanding. I am so lucky to have met you all. I hope that we can continue to walk together on the road ahead. I love you all!"

Upon hearing Su Yu's heartfelt confession, the fans present instantly became excited again. They believed that Su Yu's words were a confession to them, and screams and cheers erupted continuously.

When Tian Xiwei heard these words, her mind went blank.

She could tell that these lines were spoken to her!

In an instant, a mix of emotions surged up.

Her eyes immediately reddened, and tears welled up in them, almost spilling over.

Tian Xiwei tried her best to suppress her surging emotions and tears. She could only tightly grip the hem of her skirt above her knees with her fingers to prevent herself from actually crying.

She no longer wanted to dwell on those awkward and aggrieved feelings; all she wanted was to throw herself into Su Yu's arms and pour out her love for him.

Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Wang Churan on the other side of the screen immediately turned into a crybaby.

She held her phone, tears falling onto her pillow in a steady stream.

All she wanted to do was fly to Su Yu's side immediately, jump on him, hug his neck, and kiss him hard. Then she would spend the night with Su Yu, as a way of responding to his love.

Su Yu raised the trophy in his hand and waved to the audience.

The stage spotlight poured down from above, illuminating his youthful and unrestrained face, his brows and eyes still carrying a touch of the arrogance and confidence unique to young people.

Regardless of how the audience viewed him—whether it was jealousy or disdain—it was undeniable that Su Yu was the brightest star in the entire venue at that moment!
