The entertainment empire began with Liu Yifei's premarital pregnancy.

At this moment, the actors nominated for the Best Newcomer Award in the audience were all very nervous, and the camera kept scanning their faces.

"Congratulations, Yu Ailei!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Yu Ailei immediately stood up with an excited expression.

Congratulations, Lao Yu!

"Hurry up and claim your prize!"

Liang Jiahui, Liao Fan, and Gui Lunmei were sitting next to him. When they saw him receive the award, they immediately clapped their hands.

"Thank you, thank you!"

With a smile, Yu Ailei walked onto the stage, accepted the trophy from Yan Ni, and then went to the microphone in the center of the stage: "Here, I want to thank Director Lin the most. Without Director Lin, I wouldn't be where I am today..."

Those in the audience, seeing Yu Ailei on stage, couldn't help but feel envious.

As Yu Ailei expressed his gratitude, the camera frequently panned to Lin Bufan, who was seen leaning back with a smile on his lips, gently clapping.

Originally, the Best Newcomer Award was awarded to Lei Qingyao for "Invisible Wings," but this year he was up against "Black Coal, Thin Ice," which can only be described as bad luck.

……

After the Best Newcomer Award was presented, there was a performance featuring Valen Hsu singing "Love Letter to Filmmakers".

After the program, the next award, Best Supporting Actress, was presented.

The host returned to the stage, and the process was the same.

The only difference is the presenter. The presenter for the Best Supporting Actress award was Dong Jie, who starred in "Lust, Caution".

"Now, please look at the big screen!"

Dong Jie walked onto the stage, holding his cue cards, and turned to look at the large screen behind him.

The nominees for Best Supporting Actress this year are Gui Yalei, who played the elderly Wang Biyun in "The Knot"; Luo Haiqiong, who played the military doctor in "Assembly"; Hou Shu, who played Jingjing in "Crazy Stone"; and Yang Jing, who played Zhihua's mother in "Invisible Wings".

"Congratulations, Gui Yalei!"

Ultimately, the Best Supporting Actress award went to Gui Yalei from the "Yunshuiyao" drama series.

Each time an award is presented, a performance is staged to extend the time, as there are only a few awards in total.

The awarding was done so quickly, it'll be over in a minute, what's the point?

Ten minutes later, the performance ended, and the next award to be presented was the Best Supporting Actor award.

The nominees for Best Supporting Actor are Huang Xiaoming, who played Zhao Erdou in "Assembly"; Zhou Jielun, who played the prince in "Curse of the Golden Flower"; Chen Baoguo, who played a gangster boss in "Rob-B-Hood"; Xu Zheng, who played Boss Feng in "Crazy Stone"; Qin Han, who played Wang Tingwu in "The Knot"; and Liao Fan, who played Liang Zhijun in "Black Coal, Thin Ice".

In fact, the role of Zhao Erdou in the original film "Assembly" was played by Deng Chao, who later won the Best Supporting Actor award at the Hundred Flowers Awards for this role.

Even at the moment Deng Chao received the award, he was humiliated by Feng Xiaogang on stage.

The gist of it was that when Deng Chao won the award, the host connected with Feng Xiaogang, the director of "Assembly". After learning that Deng Chao had won the award, Feng Xiaogang simply congratulated him and then immediately shifted the topic to Zhang Hanyu.

This was at an awards ceremony; for Feng Xiaogang to do this was a blatant slap in the face to Deng Chao.

Everyone could see that Deng Chao's expression was off.

But he had no choice; he was just a minor actor at Huayi Brothers, while Feng Xiaogang was Huayi Brothers' biggest director.

But things are different now. Deng Chao left Huayi Brothers long ago and went to Kyoto.

Deng Chao has already become a top male star in the industry, and he may even become one of the top male stars in China after he films Iron Man.

With Deng Chao gone, he was naturally unable to participate in "Assembly", so the role naturally fell to Huang Xiaoming.

"The winner of Best Supporting Actor is..."

On stage, Nicholas Tse glanced at his cue cards, then his gaze swept over the audience, and he announced loudly, "Congratulations, Liao Fan!"

As soon as Nicholas Tse finished speaking, Liao Fan walked to the center of the stage with an excited expression.

"I am very grateful to Director Lin for allowing me to receive this award..."

Just as Liao Fan was giving his acceptance speech on stage, both those in the audience and netizens watching the live stream were speculating about one thing.

"Black Coal, Thin Ice" has been nominated for six awards and has already won two. It remains to be seen how it will fare in the end.

In fact, besides "Black Coal, Thin Ice", there was another big hit this year, namely "Assembly".

Compared to the six nominations for "Black Coal, Thin Ice," "Assembly" garnered seven nominations.

Before the awards ceremony, everyone was speculating that this year's Hundred Flowers Awards would definitely be a fierce battle between "Black Coal, Thin Ice" and "Assembly".

However, to everyone's surprise, "Assembly" lost the first three games in a row.

So far, the awards for Best Newcomer, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Supporting Actor have been presented, with "Black Coal, Thin Ice" winning both Best Newcomer and Best Supporting Actor.

"The Knot" won the Best Supporting Actress award, while "Assembly" won nothing at this time.

At this moment, Feng Xiaogang, who was sitting in the audience, also looked rather unpleasant.

Before the awards ceremony, he was the biggest winner with seven nominations, one more than Lin Bufan's "Black Coal, Thin Ice".

When he learned of this news, he was incredibly proud. On the day the nomination was announced, he even left a message on Weibo saying, "Wildflowers are never as fragrant as home-grown flowers."

It's obvious who he was saying this to.

However, he deleted the message less than three seconds after posting it, and only those with sharp eyes managed to capture a screenshot of it.

So much so that later, when reporters tried to interview Feng Xiaogang, he always avoided talking about it.

Feng Xiaogang also knew that Lin Bufan was not someone he could ridicule.

Now, "Assembly" has failed to win any awards, which is a slap in the face for him.

……

"Next, let me enjoy a medley of songs performed by Qu Ying, Zhang Yishan, Xu Jiao..."

"Is Director Lin interested in her?"

Down in the audience, Cheng Long noticed Lin Bufan's gaze fixed on Qu Ying and couldn't help but smile and ask.

Beauty fades quickly!

Lin Bufan shook his head.

If it were Qu Ying in her younger days, she would definitely be a great beauty, and he might even be willing to give it a try. But Qu Ying's appearance has declined too quickly now, and he has lost interest.

Lin Bufan's aesthetic standards have risen considerably under the influence of Liu Yifei, Gao Yuanyuan, and others; ordinary women simply cannot arouse his interest.

After the performance, the next awards ceremony began: the Best Actress award.

There are nine people nominated for Best Actress.

They are Gong Li, who played the Queen in "Curse of the Golden Flower"; Tang Yan, who played Sun Guiqin in "Assembly"; Huang Shengyi, who played Wang Jindi in "The Knot"; Lin Xilei, who played the licking fangzi in "Tokyo Trial"; Xu Ruoxuan, who played Wang Biyun in "The Knot"; Gao Yuanyuan, who played Shufen in "Rob-B-Hood"; Xu Jinglei, who played Liansheng in "The Warlords"; Liang Yongqi, who played Teacher Liu in "The Secret of the Magic Gourd"; and Gui Lunmei, who played Wu Zhizhen in "Black Coal, Thin Ice".
