Early the next morning, Lu Yanhe woke up and was stunned when he saw the situation on Weibo.
ha?
What is Huang Kairen doing?
Lu Yanhe hesitated again and again, but ultimately did not ask Huang Kairen what was going on.
He felt that Huang Kairen was most likely drunk and saw the news online, so he mistook Weibo for a private chat.
Huang Kairen's audio clip deservedly won the first place on the hot search list, with unrivaled popularity, crushing all other entries.
Lu Yanhe couldn't even imagine how grand the award ceremony tonight would be.
“…”
As soon as Lu Yanhe finished washing his face, Chen Ziyan turned on the phone.
"Based on your usual sleeping and resting habits, you should have gotten up by now, right?" Chen Ziyan's voice was filled with a hint of sarcasm.
Lu Yanhe knew what she was teasing.
"I'm already up."
Chen Ziyan said, "Have you seen the news online?"
"Yeah." Lu Yanhe sighed, "Although I don't know why Brother Huang sent that audio."
"Thanks to him, many netizens are now making fun of the meme about you giving your acceptance speech in the bathroom. Several internet celebrities have even made videos imitating you giving your acceptance speech in the bathroom. Have you seen it?" Chen Ziyan asked.
Lu Yanhe: "Not yet. Oh, stop talking. The more I talk, the more embarrassed I become."
Chen Ziyan: "Then everyone you meet today will probably mention this to you."
Lu Yanhe sighed.
Chen Ziyan: "It's okay, it's a good thing. There was originally a wave of haters who wanted to make a fuss about what you said in the interview yesterday, and smear you, but Huang Kairen's move drowned out all those voices."
"Has Brother Huang been pranked even more severely?"
"Almost, but everyone's reaction to his words was quite positive. They felt he was trying to cheer you up. Of course, his words themselves were very positive," Chen Ziyan said. "But, as you know, Huang Kairen usually has a good image and is emotionally stable. He's never suddenly stood up and publicly defended someone like this. They all said that you and Huang Kairen must be truly friends, which is why he supports you so much."
Lu Yanhe hesitated to speak.
"What do you want to say?"
"I feel like Brother Huang and I haven't reached that point yet. If we can say we have a good relationship, that's fine, but if we're talking about him openly standing against netizens and supporting me, I don't think we've reached that point yet."
Chen Ziyan said, "I know that too, but netizens don't know. Anyway, I've discussed this with his agent. This matter is good for both of your images right now. We don't plan to suppress the heat of this matter. Let it ferment naturally."
"Brother Huang, do you know?"
"I don't know. He's still sleeping," Chen Ziyan said. "His agent said his phone was taken away last night because they were worried he might delete his Weibo posts."
"Ah?" Lu Yanhe didn't understand.
Chen Ziyan explained: "Huang Kairen did want to send you a private message, but ended up posting it on Weibo. He was already posted, and if he deleted it at this point, it would have caused some negative discussion and made Huang Kairen look like he was guilty. So his manager asked his assistant to take his phone away."
"Okay." Lu Yanhe probably understood.
After washing up, Lu Yanhe was able to sit down and carefully read the reactions to this incident on the Internet.
I just realized after browsing that it is true... In just one night and a short while in the morning, the popularity of this matter is like spores blown away by the wind, scattered all over the world, as if everyone knows about it and everyone is talking about it.
At least, most of Lu Yanhe's homepage talked about this matter.
And just as Chen Ziyan said, Huang Kairen's words unexpectedly made many people feel that they were right, and they also understood better why Lu Yanhe said those things in the interview.
In fact, Lu Yanhe did not expect that the words he said during the interview would be criticized by others.
I can only say, as Chen Ziyan said, as long as you become famous, there will be people finding fault with your breathing.
-
At ten o'clock in the morning, Chen Siqi arrived at the airport.
Her dress was still borrowed by Chen Ziyan.
This time, Chen Siqi brought their summer special issue again.
This summer special issue ended up being as thick as the usual three issues, and the price doubled accordingly.
Chen Siqi was actually a little nervous about the price increase of this special issue. She didn't know whether it would affect sales, or whether this extra-large special issue would help increase sales of "Jump Up."
Chen Siqi made a special appointment for a full body treatment for herself. After the skin treatment, she came to the hotel to change clothes.
The two of them appeared on the red carpet together again, but this was not public news.
However, not many people care about this news.
The identity of the editor-in-chief of "Jump Up" is not that important in the entertainment industry, a large world of fame and fortune.
"I usually participate in some activities like this, but none of them are as high-level as the Golden Tripod Awards. I might be scolded when I appear on the red carpet today. Don't speak for me or fight back on my behalf." Chen Siqi instructed Lu Yanhe as soon as she saw him.
"Ah? I'll be scolded? Why?" Lu Yanhe didn't react.
Chen Siqi said: "Because I have nothing to do with the Golden Tripod Awards, it's obvious that I'm just here to get on the red carpet."
Lu Yanhe had never thought about this, and when he heard what Chen Siqi said, he was immediately stunned.
Will it be like this again?
Lu Yanhe glanced at Chen Siqi hesitantly.
"Don't try to dissuade me from going just because you realize I might get scolded." Chen Siqi immediately stopped Lu Yanhe's thoughts with her eyes. "It doesn't matter if I get scolded. As long as it can get 'Jump Up' noticed and get some publicity, I don't care at all. Don't worry about me all of a sudden."
Lu Yanhe: “…”
Sometimes, Lu Yanhe felt like a transparent body in front of Chen Siqi, and no matter what he was thinking in his mind, she could see through it.
Zou Dong came in with two cups of coffee.
This is the takeaway ordered by Lu Yanhe.
Following Zou Dong in came Chen Ziyan, who was already dressed up.
She walked in with a smile, looked at Lu Yanhe, and then at Chen Siqi.
"Every time I see you two standing together, I feel like you're a perfect match," said Chen Ziyan.
Chen Siqi smiled brightly at Chen Ziyan and said, "Sister Ziyan, this dress you borrowed for me is so beautiful."
Chen Ziyan: "That's because you're well off, so they're willing to lend it to you and let you wear it."
Chen Siqi asked: "Aren't you going to walk the red carpet with us tonight?"
Chen Ziyan shook her head. "Why would I walk the red carpet? I'll just go through the green channel and make the most of my time to meet the people I need to meet and discuss the things I need to discuss."
Chen Siqi: "That's so cool, Sister Ziyan. I wish I could be less vain like you someday."
"Isn't your age the time when you are most vain? Enjoy it, this is when you are the most beautiful." Chen Ziyan said.
Lu Yanhe listened to them talking and wondered in his heart, when did they start flattering each other like this as soon as they met?
-
"well."
Huang Kairen sighed for who knows how many times.
Xin Zixing rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's no use sighing ten thousand times."
Huang Kairen said: "I am really depressed now."
Xin Zixing: "Who to blame?"
Huang Kairen: "What's the big deal? The awards ceremony is tonight."
Xin Zixing: "Who to blame?"
Huang Kairen clicked his tongue and said, "Why do you always say this?"
Xin Zixing: "What else can I say about such a stupid thing you did?"
Huang Kairen immediately pounced on her and pressed Xin Zixing under him.
"That's enough." Huang Kairen kissed Xin Zixing on the mouth.
Xin Zixing: "Are you crazy? You're leaving soon."
Huang Kairen looked at the woman in front of him viciously, curled his lips, and asked, "Who do you blame?"
Xin Zixing: “…”
She used a swear word but didn't know whether she should say it or not.
-
And just as Chen Ziyan said, when Lu Yanhe set out for the award ceremony, everyone he met along the way was joking about his acceptance speech in the bathroom.
Lu Yanhe could only cooperate with their jokes.
Later, he felt that he had been brainwashed by himself, as if this was really a harmless thing, and then he believed from the bottom of his heart that this was a harmless thing.
Well, who hasn’t dreamed of winning an award?
-
The Golden Tripod Award can be said to have the greatest public influence among the three major awards.
Every year it has the most stars in attendance and the most luxurious lineup.
The same is true this year.
Almost all the media gathered in the red carpet media area and interview area, waiting for the celebrity artists to appear tomorrow night.
The most popular figures this year are undoubtedly Huang Kairen and Lu Yanhe.
Huang Kairen's blunder last night drew all attention to the two of them.
The celebrities caught by the media were inevitably asked about their opinions on the matter.
Everyone is talking about it.
Jiang Yuqian said generously and naturally, "I also gave an acceptance speech in the bathroom. Maybe we are all the kind of actors who are eager to win awards."
The reporter looked at her in surprise and said, "It's rare for actors to admit that they crave awards."
Jiang Yuqian laughed heartily and said, "Then I have nothing to deny. I really want to win the award."
"You're so blunt about wanting to win the award. Aren't you afraid people will think you're too utilitarian?"
"There's no actor who doesn't want to win an award. If someone thinks this idea is too utilitarian, then they might really be indifferent." Jiang Yuqian shook her head, smiled, and added, "I'm just a mortal."
-
However, when Jiang Yuqian said this in an interview, other actors also said something similar, "Actors should focus on acting rather than awards."
This actor is Jiang Mingzheng.
And these words were once again believed by many people to be directed at Lu Yanhe and others.
"This isn't the first time. Last time, Jiang Mingzheng was also implying Lu Yanhe and Huang Kairen."
"Once is a coincidence, but twice is definitely not a coincidence, right?"
"I used to have a good impression of Jiang Mingzheng, but I didn't expect him to be like this. I'm really impressed."
"This kind of statement is the most disgusting. What's with winning awards being unimportant? He won the Red River Award and said winning awards is unimportant. If you have the guts, just return the award and don't accept it!"
"At least Huang Kai allowed them to be real and had the guts to admit he wanted to win the award."
…
For a time, the Internet was in an uproar.
Jiang Mingzheng was also bewildered. He had never imagined that his "standard answer" would suddenly be met with such exaggerated ridicule and criticism.
"What's going on?" Jiang Mingzheng was in a state of extreme anxiety during this period.
On the one hand, after winning the award, his career reached its peak. He had fame and status, and one foot had already stepped into the threshold of acting and artist. On the other hand, because of his acceptance speech at the Red River Awards ceremony, he was ridiculed by the entire network, and all kinds of sarcastic and disgusted voices drowned him out.
The situation had finally gotten a little better, but Jiang Mingzheng never expected that his speech would go wrong again.
He was speechless.
"You know me, why would I satirize Huang Kairen and others? This really makes me at a loss for words. It feels like everything I say is wrong. Who hasn't answered this question like this before? Why is it that my answer is wrong?" Jiang Ming was complaining to his agent with a distressed look on his face.
The agent was also helpless.
It has not been easy for Jiang Mingzheng to come this far. He finally got to where he is today. Who would have thought that just by opening his mouth, everything would become not so good.
"Brother Zheng, you have to think about this yourself. Didn't you see the audio file that Huang Kairen sent?"
Jiang Mingzheng: "I don't go online much."
He feels wronged.
The agent sighed and said, "Last time that incident happened, I asked you to go and explain it to Huang Kairen and the others. You said you didn't mean it that way and that explaining it would only make things look problematic. So why aren't you going this time?"
Jiang Mingzheng looked reluctant.
He really didn't know what was wrong with what he said or did.
Everyone clearly says and does this, so why is it wrong for him?
This is what Jiang Mingzheng doesn't understand the most.
-
When Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi walked onto the red carpet holding the summer special issue of "Jump Up", the audience watching the live broadcast were all confused.
After all, it was only the second time, and many people didn’t know what they were holding in their hands, and many people didn’t know who the girl who appeared next to Lu Yanhe was.
So, Lu Yanhe’s fans took on the task of explaining to everyone.
——The book they are holding is the July summer special issue of "Jump Up". This issue contains novels, essays, travel notes and other articles written by more than 30 writers and teachers. There are also several new blockbuster serials launched in this issue. Everyone is welcome to pay attention.
—The girl next to Lu Yanhe is not his girlfriend, this is not official! She is Chen Siqi, the other editor-in-chief of "Jump Up". They were high school classmates, so don't get me wrong!
——This is not the first time they have walked the red carpet to promote their new book. "Jump Up" is really a very good magazine. Those who have not read it can take a look. There is an electronic version on Yemai.com, and the physical book can be purchased through various channels.
…
Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi held the book "Jump Up" in front of their chests from beginning to end, and regarded this red carpet as an excellent publicity opportunity.
When interviewed by the red carpet host, Lu Yanhe also specifically mentioned "Jump Up".
The host said with a smile, "Why does it seem like you, Yan He, don't care as much about winning the award tonight as you do about 'Jump Up'?"
Lu Yanhe said, "I was just too concerned, so I needed to bring 'Jump Up' to distract myself, otherwise my legs would be shaking with nervousness."
The host laughed out loud at Lu Yanhe's words.
Chen Siqi said: "I am just here to watch the ceremony, but I also want to recommend our magazine 'Jump Up' to all the big names. Each issue of the magazine publishes many novels and essays that may be suitable for adaptation into film and television dramas if they are interested."
After the interview, the two went backstage together.
Chen Siqi couldn't enter the backstage lounge area, so she said goodbye to Lu Yanhe at the entrance and said, "I'm going first. Come on, good luck!"
Lu Yanhe nodded.
He first went to the backstage lounge area to meet with several people from the crew.
When Luo Yuzhong saw him, he immediately waved and said, "This kid, Lu Yanhe, filmed The Golden Era with me."
He was introducing Lu Yanhe to the person standing in front of him.
Lu Yanhe looked at the person opposite Luo Yuzhong with some surprise, and felt that this person looked a little familiar.
"Yanhe, this is director Zhang Haizhou." Luo Yuzhong introduced him to Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe immediately showed an expression of surprise.
"Hello, Director Zhang." Lu Yanhe greeted him hurriedly.
Zhang Haizhou looks like a very elegant person, and his smile exudes an elegant temperament.
"Hello, Yan He."
Lu Yanhe had heard of Zhang Haizhou's name a long time ago.
In other words, anyone who pays a little attention to movies must have heard of Zhang Haizhou.
This great director, who stands at the top position, is the director that every actor dreams of working with.
Huang Kairen’s agent had previously come to Chen Ziyan and told her that he wanted Lu Yanhe and Huang Kairen to compete together for director Zhang Haizhou’s new film.
However, it was later left unresolved.
Luo Yuzhong is obviously very familiar with Zhang Haizhou and they have a good relationship.
This made Lu Yanhe sigh in his heart once again. The so-called barriers in the television and film circles were all said by others. At the top level, people knew each other and even had a good relationship.
Luo Yuzhong introduced Lu Yanhe, Huang Kairen and Jiang Yuqian to Zhang Haizhou.
Zhang Haizhou also greeted the three of them very politely and invited them to audition if they had the chance in the future.
With a director like Zhang Haizhou, actors are willing to play any role, no matter how small.
Because that one shot may be the best shot in their acting career.
This is not an exaggeration at all.
Many actors are vain, but that doesn’t mean these vain actors really don’t care about art at all.
Sometimes, we are willing to put aside all vanity and pursue the art of that moment.
Zhang Haizhou's films have this kind of charm.
-
However, what Lu Yanhe did not expect was that Zhang Haizhou did not show up at the award ceremony.
Lu Yanhe originally thought that Zhang Haizhou was here to be the award presenter.
Sitting next to Lu Yanhe were Jiang Yuqian and another actress, He Yunyun, the heroine of the popular ancient idol fantasy drama "Qian Gu".
He Yunyun was also nominated for Best Actress this year for her role in "Thousands of Years".
This is the difference between the Golden Tripod Award and the other two major awards. If the actors really give a very good performance, even themes such as ancient costume dramas and fairy tales that are completely unpopular with mainstream awards will be shortlisted.
He Yunyun is also the only actress among this year's Best Actress nominees who can compete with Jiang Yuqian in terms of popularity and traffic.
Lu Yanhe greeted He Yunyun.
He Yunyun spoke to him very politely, but it was also obvious that she was a somewhat introverted actress.
When the award ceremony began, Lu Yanhe held his breath and sat upright.
Lu Yanhe found that the people around him were quite nervous.
Jiang Yuqian and Huang Kairen were not as comfortable as they were last time at the Red River Awards ceremony - that time they were very relaxed, unlike this time, when they had expectations and found it difficult to relax and enjoy the ceremony.
As for He Yunyun, it wasn't known whether she was a quiet person or what, but Lu Yanhe noticed that Liu Zefan, the male lead of "Qian Gu" who was sitting next to her, spoke to her several times, but she just replied with a few words without saying much.
Liu Zefan was not nominated for Best Actor. He was here as a guest performer today and he looked relaxed.
During the intermission, Lu Yanhe got up and went to the back to find Chen Siqi.
Chen Siqi sat in the fifth row and was a pure guest.
"The next award is Best Supporting Actor." Chen Siqi smiled at Lu Yanhe. "How are you?"
Lu Yanhe took a deep breath and said, "I'm nervous, but fortunately, I can bear it."
Chen Siqi: "Is it because my hope of winning this time is greater than when I won the Red River Award, so I feel more nervous?"
"No, we are all equally nervous and want to win the award. Even if everyone tells me that my chances of winning are slim, I still want to win." Lu Yanhe said with a smile.
"Xiao Lu, don't be so utilitarian." A person next to him suddenly said to Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi looked at each other in surprise.
The person who spoke was actually Chen Jiping.
“…”
"Teacher Chen." Lu Yanhe didn't expect that Chen Jiping would take the initiative to talk to them.
This male actor who had made sarcastic remarks to Huang Kairen backstage at the Red River Awards last time, for some reason, suddenly came to teach Lu Yanhe a lesson today.
Chen Jiping said: "Although Jiang Mingzheng has been criticized by many netizens, what he said is absolutely right. If you are less utilitarian, the purpose of acting can be purer."
Lu Yanhe was very clear that Chen Jiping was deliberately targeting him by saying these words.
Last time he helped Huang Kairen to "bitch" Chen Jiping, and this time Chen Jiping came to take revenge.
Lu Yanhe asked frankly, "Teacher Chen, don't you want to win the award?"
Chen Jiping was stunned.
Lu Yanhe said, "Is wanting to win an award considered utilitarian? Well, I am indeed utilitarian. We younger generations really need to learn from Teacher Chen and not even think about winning an award."
The corner of Chen Jiping's mouth twitched suddenly.
He: "How could I mean that?"
"Then what did Teacher Chen mean?" Lu Yanhe put away his smile and looked serious. "I said I wanted to win the award, and you said I shouldn't be utilitarian. Isn't that what I meant?"
Chen Jiping's face also darkened.
"I'm just kindly reminding you."
"Thank you for your kindness, Teacher Chen." Lu Yanhe said calmly.
Chen Jiping didn't get any good results from Lu Yanhe, and a look of anger appeared on his face.
Lu Yanhe didn't take it to heart.
He didn't ask Chen Jiping for anything. If they respected each other, it would be fine. But if Chen Jiping took advantage of his seniority, he would not bother to respect him, especially since Chen Jiping was not that old. He was just a few years older than Huang Kairen.
Chen Jiping really had no way to deal with Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe didn't say a single word to openly criticize him, and Chen Jiping didn't even have a reason to get angry.
In this situation, Chen Jiping could only swallow his anger.
-
"Does this Chen Jiping have a grudge against you?" Chen Siqi asked Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe: "It wasn't really a holiday, but there were definitely some conflicts."
Chen Siqi looked at Chen Jiping's back as he left and was talking to someone else. He frowned and said, "I don't like this person."
Lu Yanhe nodded, "Great minds think alike."
Chen Siqi: "The reasons why you dislike him are probably different from mine, right?"
"What do you hate about him?"
"I hate his senior-minded attitude," Chen Siqi said. "What I hate most is people who come out and say bad things about you under the guise of doing good for you."
Lu Yanhe laughed and said, "Who wouldn't hate it?"
Suddenly, Jiang Mingzheng came over.
"Yan He." Jiang Mingzheng looked at him with some embarrassment.
Lu Yanhe turned around and saw him, and immediately called out "Teacher Jiang".
Jiang Mingzheng seemed a little embarrassed. He said, "Yan He, when reporters interviewed me today, the things I said were not meant to mock you and Huang Kairen. To be honest, before the incident, I didn't even know about the Weibo post Huang Kairen posted. I rarely go online."
Lu Yanhe: "Don't say that. We understand, Teacher Jiang."
Jiang Mingzheng patted Lu Yanhe's shoulder and said, "Let's have dinner together when we have time."
"Okay, Teacher Jiang." Lu Yanhe nodded respectfully.
As Jiang Mingzheng left, Chen Siqi whispered in Lu Yanhe's ear, "Do you believe everything he said? Is he really not targeting you and Huang Kairen?"
Lu Yanhe shook his head. "I don't know if it's true or not, but he came here specifically to explain this to you. Whether he did it intentionally or not, just take the step down. It's a harmless thing in itself. Unlike Chen Jiping just now, who stabbed a knife in your face."
Chen Siqi glanced at Lu Yanhe in surprise: "You're not that naive."
Lu Yanhe: "I never said I was naive, it's always you who said that."
"That's because you always make yourself look so innocent."
Lu Yanhe: "You're the only one who said that."
Chen Siqi: "I'm the only one who will tell you."
At this time, someone on the scene gave instructions that the award ceremony was about to continue.
The host has also come on stage.
"I'm going back to my seat." Lu Yanhe said to Chen Siqi.
Chen Siqi nodded.
As soon as everyone sat down, the host began to introduce the award presenter for Best Supporting Actor.
The presenter of this award is Ms. Xiwa, who won the Best Supporting Actress award last year.
Teacher Xiwa is already sixty years old. She wears a Chinese-style dress, has a graceful posture, and eyes like water, giving people a friendly feeling like a spring breeze.
She stood still on the stage and looked at everyone below.
"Last year, when I was 59, I won the first significant trophy in my life, the Golden Tripod Award for Best Supporting Actress. Looking back a year later, it still seems incredible to me."
Xiwa said with a smile.
The audience burst into applause.
"Today, five more outstanding actors have been nominated for this award. The oldest is 42-year-old Lei Mingjia, and the youngest is 19-year-old Lu Yanhe. They represent the backbone and youthful strength of our entertainment industry."
The live camera gave two seconds each to Lei Mingjia and Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe clasped his hands together to express his gratitude and greetings to Teacher Xiwa.
"I hope that no matter who wins an award tonight, they will remember that awards are motivation, not constraints. Winning an award is certainly a joy, but even if you don't, your excellence has already been witnessed." Xiwa said, and then turned slightly to the side. "Actors nominated for Best Supporting Actor at this year's Golden Tripod Awards, please look at the big screen—"
The big screen on the stage began to play the introduction of the nominees for the Best Supporting Actor category.
Lu Yanhe pursed his lips. At this moment, he knew that he was definitely being camerad. However, he really couldn't control his expression. He was too nervous. For some unknown reason, he picked up "Jump Up" and covered his face.
Jiang Yuqian reached out and took the "Jump Up" from his hand, patted his shoulder, and said, "Don't be a coward."
Lu Yanhe clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and was visibly nervous.
This scene was broadcast live on another screen at the scene, and everyone saw it and laughed in a good-natured manner.
After the VCR ended, Teacher Xiwa opened the envelope in her hand.
"The winner of this year's Golden Tripod Award for Best Supporting Actor is——"
The whole audience was silent, waiting for Teacher Xiwa to read out the name.
At this moment, Lu Yanhe felt as if the entire venue had come to a standstill.
"Lu Yanhe, The Golden Age!"
My heart seemed to be beating in my throat.
Lu Yanhe stood up suddenly in disbelief, stunned.
Jiang Yuqian and Huang Kairen both cheered excitedly and rushed up to hug him immediately.
"Yanhe, well done!" Huang Kairen patted Lu Yanhe's back hard.
Lu Yanhe seemed to have just woken up.
Huang Kairen excitedly held Lu Yanhe's face in his hands, "Awesome!"
Lu Yanhe was stunned for several seconds before he came to his senses and let out a loud "Wow!"
Jiang Yuqian smiled even brighter than Lu Yanhe himself and stood aside, applauding.
"Hurry up and go up on stage to receive the award!" Jiang Yuqian said to Lu Yanhe.
There was thunderous applause in the arena.
Lu Yanhe was pushed to the side of the stage by Huang Kairen, and only then did he remember that it was time to go on stage.
When passing by director Luo Yuzhong, Luo Yuzhong had already stood up and hugged Lu Yanhe.
"Well done!" Luo Yuzhong hugged Lu Yanhe and said, "You really deserve it!"
Lu Yanhe was still immersed in an unbelievable and incredible dream, but after being encouraged by Luo Yuzhong, he grinned.
"Director, thank you." He hugged Luo Yuzhong tightly.
-
Lu Yanhe won the award!
The news spread immediately.
At Zhenhua, although many of Lu Yanhe’s classmates did not watch the live broadcast, they were surprised and excited after seeing this news.
At Ziyuan Bridge, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang jumped up from the sofa at the same time, even more excited than Lu Yanhe at the scene.
At South China University of Technology, Li Pengfei shouted "Fuck" three times in his dormitory, attracting the attention of his roommates.
There was a burst of cheers at the filming site of "The Seventeenth Floor".
…
Lu Yanhe walked onto the stage and walked towards Teacher Xiwa. He took the trophy and certificate from Teacher Xiwa, bowed and said thank you.
Xiwa hugged him and said, "That's great, kid."
She gave up her seat in front of the microphone and asked Lu Yanhe to give his acceptance speech.
Lu Yanhe held one in each hand, stood in front of the stage, and looked at everyone in the audience.
He took a deep breath and said, "I've never won an award before. This is my first time. My legs are shaking. I don't know if it's because I'm too nervous or too excited."
The whole audience burst into laughter, and there was another round of applause and cheers.
"Luckily, I didn't mention the acceptance speech I gave in the bathroom yesterday when the reporter interviewed me. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to say now. Although... my mind is completely blank right now, I can't remember what I prepared at all."
The whole audience burst into laughter again.
"Luckily, there are so many familiar people here today. Seeing you all, I can finally find some sense in this huge surprise... Wow!" Lu Yanhe, who finally found a trace of rationality, couldn't help but wow again, "Sorry, I'm really too excited."
Jiang Yuqian clasped her hands together and looked at Lu Yanhe sincerely.
Huang Kairen also had a bright smile on his face.
"I know. I must thank the Golden Tripod Awards and the judges. Among so many outstanding actors, you gave me this honor. I know this honor is definitely not just for me, but also for young people like me. It encourages all young actors to act well and you will definitely reap the rewards." Lu Yanhe paused and smiled. "Well, I came up with this sentence in the bathroom."
The laughter started again.
"This is my first time acting, and I'm able to win an award on my first try. I'm so lucky that I couldn't even dream of it. If it weren't for Director Luo Yuzhong leading me into the acting world, if it weren't for Brother Kairen, Sister Yuqian and many other people who were tolerant and guiding me on the scene, I wouldn't have fallen in love with acting the first time I acted." Lu Yanhe turned to look at Teacher Xiwa, "Teacher Xiwa just said that she won her first award at the age of 59 last year. I'm 19 this year, and this is my first time winning an award. I feel even luckier at this moment, because seeing Teacher Xiwa reminds me that winning an award is an honor, but it's not a reason for me to be proud. Actors who haven't won awards are equally outstanding and recognized by everyone. As someone who has won an award, I should use it as a spur and encouragement to work harder and be worthy of the recognition this honor has given me."
"These past few days, I've kept in mind the encouragement and advice from many of my teachers and seniors. I will act well and be a good person. Finally, thank you again!"
Lu Yanhe bowed deeply, turned to look at Teacher Xiwa, and walked off the stage with her.
"Your speech just now was very good, kid." Xiwa's arm was supported by Lu Yanhe, and she smiled. "You really need to study hard to speak so well."
Lu Yanhe repeatedly said no and he was not worthy of it.
After he accompanied Xiwa off the stage, he was guided by staff to the media interview room.
It’s still the same media from yesterday.
As soon as Lu Yanhe entered, all the reporters applauded and cheered for him.
They also saw Lu Yanhe's acceptance speech in real time backstage.
-
"This is probably the most superlative acceptance speech I've received for any major award in recent years," one media professional lamented on their social media platform. "I can't believe this is something a 19-year-old could say. It's a textbook acceptance speech."
This is the common voice of many people watching the live broadcast.
Entertainment commentator Mao Yu said, "It's no secret that I'm a fan of Lu Yanhe. I think Lu Yanhe's acceptance speech today should make many people understand why I'm such a fan. A 19-year-old boy can speak so meaningfully, truthfully, with attitude, and emotion. How can anyone not like him?"
Lu Yanhe's remarks went viral online.
When he returned to the scene, the Best Actor award was already being presented.
The winner this time was indeed Liu Teli.
As "It's the Mule, It's Me" was a hot favorite, and many people expected Liu Teli to win the award.
However, no matter how much they expected it, the result at this moment still made the other four nominees feel more or less disappointed.
Lu Yanhe turned and looked at Huang Kairen.
Huang Kairen noticed his gaze and nodded to him, indicating that he was fine.
And there was no miracle in the subsequent Best Actress award, and Jiang Yuqian missed it.
But to everyone's surprise, the final Best TV Series Award was given to "The Golden Age".
Originally, everyone thought that this award would be given to "Long Day".
All the main creators of "The Golden Age" cheered in surprise.
Luo Yuzhong went on stage to receive the award.
The excited atmosphere swept away the disappointment of Huang Kairen, Jiang Yuqian and Luo Yuzhong who did not win awards in their respective departments.
This marks the end of this year's Golden Tripod Awards.
-
There was supposed to be a party after the official award ceremony.
However, Lu Yanhe was in a hurry to return to the crew of "Seventeenth Floor", so he was unable to join everyone and could only be absent regretfully.
"Brother Huang, Sister Qian, I'll invite you to dinner after I finish filming," said Lu Yanhe.
The two nodded happily.
The journey of "The Golden Age" is not over yet.
There are still Blue Ribbon Awards that have not been given out.
With the momentum of "The Golden Age", a nomination for the Blue Ribbon Award should not be a problem.
Lu Yanhe said goodbye to everyone one by one.
Chen Siqi was waiting for him beside him.
So does Chen Ziyan.
"Are you going back to the crew tonight?" Chen Siqi asked.
Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "I promised the crew that I would arrive before ten o'clock tomorrow morning."
Chen Siqi said, "Then there's no need for you to travel at night. You can get some sleep first and get up early to go there."
The filming location is not that far from Yuming.
Lu Yanhe said, "Let's go back early to avoid being delayed on the road."
Chen Siqi thought about it, nodded, smiled again, and said, "Congratulations, you won the award today."
Lu Yanhe was holding the trophy in his hand and still found it incredible.
"Yeah, I actually won a prize today."
"The Golden Tripod Award itself is an audience award, and the audience vote also counts." Chen Ziyan said, "I never told you that you were the favorite to win the Golden Tripod Award for Best Supporting Actor. I was afraid that if you knew, your expectations would be even higher, and you would be even more disappointed if you didn't win. Fortunately, you won in the end."
Lu Yanhe nodded and raised the corners of his mouth.
"I'm probably going to be too excited to sleep tonight."
Chen Ziyan patted his shoulder and said, "You winning such a prestigious award in your freshman year completely exceeded my expectations. Honestly, I had expected you to start competing for awards around the age of 30. Male actors always have an advantage when they're older. This result is beyond my expectations."
"Yes, I find it amazing myself."
"It seems that the judges this time are more favorable towards you and didn't use your age as an issue."
After Lu Yanhe finished talking to them, he set off to return to the crew.
Lu Yanhe asked Chen Siqi before getting in the car.
"When will you return to Jiangguang?"
"Tomorrow morning," Chen Siqi said, "don't worry about me. I can take care of myself."
Lu Yanhe thought silently, this sounded as if he couldn't take care of himself.
Looking at Zou Dong again, uh, well, he doesn't know how to drive and really can't manage himself.
I must make time to learn how to drive next semester.
-
Lu Yanhe's award sparked heated discussion.
As a newcomer who won the Golden Tripod Award for Best Supporting Actor at the age of 19, anyone would realize one thing at this moment: Lu Yanhe has a bright future.
I used to realize that Lu Yanhe had a bright future because I was optimistic about his qualifications.
We now realize that he has a bright future because it has become a fact.
The Golden Tripod Award gave Lu Yanhe this award when he was only 19 years old. It was an attitude, an encouragement and support to this young man, and it also meant that the Golden Tripod Group included Lu Yanhe in the category of "their own people".
From now on, everyone in the Jinding Clan will do their best to take care of Lu Yanhe if they can.
Lu Yanhe's award also caused many people to feel a great sense of crisis.
Especially the young male actors in the same tier as Huang Kairen.
Huang Kairen has left them far behind thanks to "The Golden Age", and now Lu Yanhe has caught up with him. With a big award at his disposal, his future status is set to rise further.
Of course, the artists at Star Entertainment feel the greatest sense of crisis.
This is especially true for Ma Zhiyuan and his friends.
Lu Yanhe won the award as an actor. Chen Ziliang would console himself by saying that he was a singer and not on the same track as Lu Yanhe, but Ma Zhiyuan would not console himself in this way.
Lu Yanhe used to be an invisible person who was almost unknown in the entertainment circle. Even Li Zhibai, the most popular member of their group, could not compare with Ma Zhiyuan. But now Lu Yanhe suddenly overtook them and relied on his identity as an actor to become the highest-ranking artist among them. How could Ma Zhiyuan accept this?
"Who says he's higher in status than you?" Zhou Ping'an said immediately after hearing what Ma Zhiyuan said, "In terms of popularity and commercial value, you're among the top artists in China. In terms of luxury endorsements, even Chen Bige doesn't have as many as you do. He just won the Best Supporting Actor award. Don't let yourself get carried away."
Ma Zhiyuan frowned and said, "Do you really think he is not a threat to me?"
"With the path you're on, no matter how great his achievements are, they can't threaten you," Zhou Ping'an said seriously. "You're already a top idol artist. Now all you have to do is maintain your position, present more performances and productions, and further expand your influence. The trend of idol artists is already taking off, and the Star Awards and 'Idol Era' are a sign of that."
Listening to Zhou Ping'an's words, Ma Zhiyuan's mood gradually calmed down and he was no longer so anxious.
He said, "So, do you think I should go into acting?"
"That depends on what kind of drama you're in. If it's a big production that suits you, then acting in it is also a testament to your influence. If you're just trying to prove your acting skills, then that's completely unnecessary," Zhou Ping'an said. "Just stand firm in your position. Even if Lu Yanhe wins Best Actor, it won't affect you."
Ma Zhiyuan turned his head silently to look out the window, lost in his own thoughts.
Ma Zhiyuan's attitude is just a microcosm. Wei Zhuoran, Qu Yousong and others who have had conflicts and contradictions with Lu Yanhe, only they themselves know how they feel at this moment.
In the "Young Days" group, everyone congratulated Lu Yanhe and strongly requested him to send red envelopes.
Lu Yanhe smiled and gave out several big red envelopes.
Suddenly remembering something, Lu Yanhe opened the group chat of him, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang.
Lu Yanhe: ??? No one is celebrating for me?
Lu Yanhe: Where are the people?
Li Zhibai: You just won the Best Supporting Actor award, what's there to celebrate? Wait until you win the Best Actor award.
Yan Liang: Yes, I just got back from work and I’m so tired.
Li Zhibai: I didn’t even have time to watch the live broadcast.
Yan Liang: Although winning this award is not bad, it’s still a little lacking. If you don’t win the Best Actor award, you won’t be able to show off in front of us.
Lu Yanhe: ...
Lu Yanhe: It’s snowing heavily, and there are no friends left.
He felt that Li Zhibai and Yan Liang must have done it on purpose.
It won't be long before these two people start showing off to celebrate for him.
However, ten minutes passed, twenty minutes passed, and there was no message at all in the group.
During this period, Lu Yanhe agreed to go on the "Journey" again and replied to all those who congratulated him, but they still had no news.
Depend on?
Do you really not care at all about the award he won?
Lu Yanhe felt a chill in his heart at this moment.
Li Pengfei suddenly appeared: Are you almost done with your work? Are you free now?
Lu Yanhe had just been encouraged by everyone in the group chat with his high school classmates to send out red envelopes.
He: I’m on the car rushing back to the crew now, hehe.
Li Pengfei: How do you feel about receiving the award? Are you excited?
Lu Yanhe: That’s right, very exciting.
Li Pengfei: Sure, please lend me your trophy later. I want to take a photo with it.
Lu Yanhe: You can even put it at your house.
Li Pengfei: Then bring it to my house.
Lu Yanhe: ???
Li Pengfei: I'm not being polite with you. Since you said so, I will accept it with pleasure.
Lu Yanhe: Okay, okay.
…
By the time he returned to the crew hotel, it was already early morning.
Zou Dong sent Lu Yanhe back to his room.
Lu Yanhe had already taken a nap in the car.
"Brother Dong, thank you for your hard work. Please come and wake me up at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. I definitely can't get up early." Lu Yanhe said.
Zou Dong nodded.
Lu Yanhe took out his room card, swiped it to open the door, and just as he inserted the room card into the power outlet, suddenly, two hand-held colored tubes made a "bang bang" sound.
Colorful flowers fall down.
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang appeared before him.
"Congratulations, congratulations! Big congratulations!"
Both of them had silly yet brilliant smiles on their faces, which scared Lu Yanhe a bit and also gave him a huge surprise.
Lu Yanhe's eyes widened in shock, his mouth hanging open.
"Fuck! You guys—"
At this moment, Lu Yanhe was speechless.
-
It turned out that after seeing Lu Yanhe win the award, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang decided to celebrate with Lu Yanhe as soon as possible.
As a result, after contacting Chen Ziyan, I found out that Lu Yanhe had to rush back to the crew after receiving the award in the evening because he had to shoot a movie the next day and had no time to stay in Yuming.
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang instigated and decided to go to the hotel where Lu Yanhe was staying to give him a surprise.
Chen Ziyan contacted everyone and asked Li Zhibai and Yan Liang to sneak into Lu Yanhe's room and wait.
"We've bought some late-night snacks: barbecue, crayfish, and skewers. They're all hot." Li Zhibai smiled brightly. "We have to get started tonight."
Lu Yanhe was already starving.
"This is really timely. I'm so hungry."
Yan Liang said, "I didn't buy any wine. I know you have to work tomorrow. Have some sparkling water."
"Okay, okay. I don't like drinking anyway." Lu Yanhe said.
The three of them sat in Lu Yanhe's room and ate together.
Lu Yanhe raised his phone and took a selfie.
"I want to post on Weibo."
"What?"
"Post a Weibo post saying I won the award," Lu Yanhe said.
"Tsk tsk, with your character, you can't be a little more tolerant and humble, right?" Li Zhibai complained.
Lu Yanhe: "Then when you receive the award in the future, don't show off."
Li Zhibai: "I complain about yours, I show off mine, it's none of your business."
"Double standard dog."
Yan Liang laughed so hard that his eyes were invisible.
Lu Yanhe uploaded the photo and wrote: After receiving the award, I hurried back to the crew at night. These two hid in my room as a surprise. We ate barbecue and chatted together. It ended perfectly!
-
Lu Yanhe had no idea what time they went to bed that night, as the air conditioning in the room was on full blast.
I felt cold when I slept in the middle of the night, so I pulled the quilt over myself in a daze.
I don't know how long it was before I heard Li Zhibai cursing, "Damn it, which bastard stole my quilt?"
No one paid any attention to him.
The next day, Lu Yanhe woke up and found that none of the three of them were in bed. He was sleeping on the sofa, Li Zhibai was lying on the floor, and Yan Liang was even more outrageous, with his head on the ground and his feet on the bed. He had no idea how they got into this position.
Lu Yanhe was so amused that he immediately looked for his cell phone and took a picture of the scene.
After reaching the peak of joy, there is inevitably a sense of emptiness in the heart.
But at this moment, Lu Yanhe felt extremely at ease.
Whether up or down, whether happy or decadent, there will always be people by your side to accompany you. This is the truth that life should be.
He scratched his head and yawned, but didn't wake them up. He tiptoed out with his phone, borrowed Zou Dong's room to wash up, and went straight to work.
When he arrived at the filming site, many people congratulated him and the crew also prepared a bouquet of flowers for him.
When the shooting was about to begin and each department on the scene was doing their job, he put aside all distractions and started to get into the state.
This is the set, and he is an actor here.
Everything has passed, and the future depends on the present.
