Became the best actor, the system just finished loading

Chapter 347 Thank you to my family
This is probably the first time since the Hundred Flowers Awards were founded that someone has not wanted to win an award.

This was also the first time that a nominee showed an expression of ecstatic joy upon hearing that they had not won.

In comparison, Chen Kun seemed even happier than Qi Hao when the guest mentioned Qi Hao's name.

Qi Hao walked onto the stage and began to give his acceptance speech.

"This is my first time winning a Hundred Flowers Award, and I am very excited. I am very grateful to the organizing committee, to my fans for their love and recognition, to director Han Jie, and to everyone in the crew for their hard work..."

"And thank you to my family..."

At this moment, a unified shout rang out from the audience seats—An Feng!
How could we not thank An Feng?

That's your little darling.

“Uh… Anfeng is my family now.”

Qi Hao's explanation caused a burst of laughter from the audience.

People in the entertainment industry think Qi Hao is awesome, but ordinary people don't feel that way.

They would actually think that Qi Hao hadn't changed.

He's still the same as before, still our gentle and polite handsome idol.

In the past, when I was in a humble position, I needed to project a cool and aloof male god persona. Now that I'm high enough, I have to be a little more humble.

You need to have a down-to-earth persona that allows you to get along with ordinary people.

“I have always felt that acting is a very sacred thing, and every role is of great importance to me. Thank you all for giving me this award and for recognizing this role... Thank you, Mr. Tree!”

Qi Hao bowed in gratitude, holding the certificate in one hand and the trophy in the other.

"I also want to thank Qi Hao; it was you who gave Mr. Tree a new life."

One of the award presenters was Lü Xiaohe, who played Dong Zhuo in "New Three Kingdoms". His starring role in "Garland Under the Mountain" earned him the Best Actor award at the Hundred Flowers Awards in 1985.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Hundred Flowers Awards, and more than a dozen Best Actor and Actress winners attended. There was no shortage of award presenters.

Another award presenter was Gong Xue.

She was a screen goddess in the 1980s, and was as famous as Zhu Lin back then. Both were known as the number one beauty in mainland China. At that time, there was a saying: Gong Xue in the south and Zhu Lin in the north!
This shows that their beauty was widely recognized at the time.

Gong Xue is also known as the Audrey Hepburn of China, and won the Best Actress award at the Hundred Flowers Awards in 1984 for her role in "Under the Bridge".

Not long ago, Gong Xue, who had lived in Migo for 20 years, ended her overseas life and returned to Shanghai to settle down. As the lead actress, she took on the role in the modern urban youth drama "8090 Forward".

In addition, she has been invited to be a judge for next year's Golden Rooster Awards.

It was probably because of this collaboration that she and Lü Xiaohe were chosen to present the Best Actor award together at the Hundred Flowers Awards.

"Actors are honored by their roles, and roles are made great by actors..."

Gong Xue doesn't know much about Qi Hao, but simply comparing the difference between Qi Hao's image and the character on the big screen shows how much the actor has sacrificed for the role.

It's unbelievable that such a young and handsome actor could completely ruin his face for a role.

I heard that Qi Hao is also a super idol.

Even in their time, this was an absolutely phenomenal achievement.

They also had similar young heartthrobs back then, such as Tang Guoqiang.

Tang Guoqiang's early success was only due to people's primal instinct to love beauty, not because his abilities were recognized. As a result, he was labeled a "pretty boy" for many years until he played Zhuge Liang and proved his acting skills, which marked his successful transformation.

Qi Hao is much better looking than Tang Guo.

His parents gave him such good looks, but he doesn't appreciate it at all.

Gong Xue herself is a beautiful person, and she can best understand how difficult it is for Qi Hao to go all out like this.

"You flatter me, seniors. I still need to work harder. I hope I haven't let down the post-80s generation."

Those born in the 1970s say those born in the 1980s are a lost generation, and those born in the 1980s say those born in the 1990s are a lost generation.

In fact, no generation has collapsed.

Each has its own unique charm.

Qi Hao appeared very humble and even somewhat shy on stage.

Humility is an act, and shyness is even more of a pretense.

However, this is Gong Xue.

Qi Hao preferred Zhu Lin. At an age when he didn't know what love was, he felt that he would be overjoyed if he could marry Zhu Lin.

I wouldn't trade it for a ginseng fruit.

Now that I've met someone as famous as Zhu Lin, I feel that this trip was worthwhile.

After some interaction, Qi Hao and the two veteran performers walked off the stage together.

The Best Director award went to Yip Wai-man for his comedy film "Lost in Thailand," which is only eligible for the Hundred Flowers Awards. Previously, this award was practically dominated by Feng Xiaogang.

Feng Xiaogang's comedies are indeed of a very high standard.

However, Yip Wai-man's "Lost in Thailand" is no worse than Feng Xiaogang's comedies.

Moreover, the more you watch the movie, the better it gets.

These days, almost all long-distance buses are playing "Lost in Thailand".

The highway scene is flawless, without a single problem.

Moreover, the film features Qi Hao and his rumored girlfriends, which, along with its hype and buzz, is enough to allow him to beat Feng Xiaogang and his film "If You Are the One" to win the Best Director award.

Qi Hao's "A Little Thing Called First Love" and "Those Years" did not sign up, otherwise Ye Weimin would have had no choice.

In the realm of audience voting, the only one who can defeat Qi Hao is Qi Hao himself.

The Best Feature Film award went to the film "The Founding of a Republic," while "If You Are the One" and "The Great Earthquake" won the Outstanding Feature Film award.

Whether others like it or not, Qi Hao doesn't know, but at least his trip wasn't in vain.

This is his third Best Actor award this year.

The Hundred Flowers Film Festival is neither the best nor the worst; it's better than the Changchun Film Festival's tie.

However, there are still double-yolk eggs today.

The Best Supporting Actress award was a tie.

Qi Hao originally planned to leave right after the Hundred Flowers Awards, as he wanted to go back to Tianjin to see his parents.

I've been spending all my time with An Feng lately, and I haven't been home since our engagement. I almost forgot I have parents.

However, he couldn't leave at all.

It wasn't just these young, promising filmmakers who sought him out, wanting to build a good relationship with him; even the older, semi-retired generation wouldn't let him go.

The Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the Film Association, the government...

The organizers held a celebration banquet, which Qi Hao had no choice but to attend.

These senior colleagues kept Qi Hao behind not out of concern for him, but to ask him if he was having any difficulties in his life, if he was facing any obstacles in his career, or if he felt lost or confused.

What's with the confusion?

He can do almost anything he wants now.

In the entertainment industry, you can do whatever you want, whether you want to be horizontal or vertical.

If the entertainment industry can't accommodate him, he can always make a living in the internet industry.

After they started chatting, Qi Hao felt somewhat flattered.

They actually treated him as a peer, wanting him to talk about the future development of the film and television industry from the perspective of a film and television professional.

This is outrageous.

Qi Hao had considered how he and his company should develop, but at most he had dabbled in the animation film industry.

I've never thought about the development of the film and television industry.

How could he have deserved this?

In the current domestic environment, the principle of "a young man's words are unreliable" is always upheld, and those born in the 1980s have little say in the discourse of any industry.

Even those born in the 1970s are considered odd jobs, occupying a relatively low position in the food chain.

The entertainment industry is no exception. Look at organizations like the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the China Film Association; few of the top executives are under forty years old.

You really shouldn't be so unconvinced.

Those born before the 1950s have earned their seniority through hard work.

Those born in the 1950s and 1960s were fortunate to have lived in a good era. Take directors, for example; any director from the fourth or fifth generation could be considered a master, and all of them have produced outstanding works.

Let's take a look at the sixth and seventh generation directors...

Each generation is worse than the previous one.

Sitting with this group of senior figures made Qi Hao much more nervous than when he was at the event.

Clearly, these people weren't just putting on an act of showing respect and courtesy to juniors; a group of them sat there listening to Qi Hao speak.

Some even brought out notebooks and pens.

Qi Hao knew him; he was Qin Zhigang, the vice chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

I broke out in a cold sweat immediately.
