The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 523 Surprise
With her goddess-like beauty and still in the prime of her youth, Gu Lanxi reappeared before the audience, dressed in a stunning outfit. Wearing a sky-blue teardrop crown and an elegant and dignified gown, she smiled gently and waved lightly before even speaking, instantly causing the audience to erupt in cheers!

Screams, cheers, camera shutter clicks...

Looking down from the stage, all you could see were hands holding up cell phones.

They're getting the treatment of a superstar.

The Hundred Flowers Awards are chosen by public vote, and in a sense, they represent the winners' popularity and market recognition.

Gu Lanxi, as a newly crowned 10 billion yuan film queen, has both box office success and numerous awards. Her acting skills are widely recognized as excellent, and her resume is also widely recognized as impressive. Not only is her character highly praised by her seniors, but her private life is also genuinely clean.

Young people idolizing celebrities is often misunderstood and disapproved of by their elders. However, if they say they like Gu Lanxi, even those who don't know much about the entertainment industry will praise their children for having good taste and not liking the wrong person.

It would be even better if I could learn from her.

As for her past scandals such as early romance, love of extreme sports, fighting in private, carrying a pig-slaughtering knife to collect rent for relatives when she was a child, and going to other people's houses to freeload while playing the suona, they are nothing.

She's so smart to find such a great husband at such a young age; she's so brave to challenge such a high snow-capped mountain; she's so decisive and courageous to never show mercy to criminals; she's so incredibly capable to be able to support herself at the age of 12!

“Daughter, if you were even a tenth as good as her, I could close my eyes in peace right now.”

Countless mothers have said this to their children.

It's clear that she's incredibly popular and has a truly excellent reputation.

When she heard the presenter call her name, Gu Lanxi was touched, but she was not overjoyed. She simply smiled, stood up, shook hands with everyone who offered their congratulations, and then walked steadily onto the stage.

Because she is still young, she has won so many trophies that she needs a special room to store them all.

Although not all of them were awarded to her by the entertainment industry, so what?
For her, this was not a goal that could only be achieved after a lifetime of struggle; it was simply the reward she deserved after a period of hard work in her life.

"Lanxi, congratulations! First, could you share your feelings with us right now? What was on your mind when you heard your name called?"

The hosts, a man and a woman, are both well-known veterans in the industry.

The prize-giving guests are among the most senior figures in the industry.

After shaking hands with the award presenter, bowing to accept the trophy and flowers, and expressing her sincere gratitude, the host led her to the center of the stage.

Gu Lanxi answered the very routine question with perfect composure:

"To be honest, I am very excited right now, and my heart is pounding. But more than that, I feel incredulous and apprehensive. The other nominees are all excellent actors that I greatly respect and admire. I feel very lucky to be standing here."

Gu Lanxi's lines are always excellent; when she speaks, everyone can hear what she says even with their eyes closed.

He was saying he was excited, his heart was pounding, but his breathing was completely steady, giving off an incredibly calm vibe.

Even the host couldn't help but laugh.

"Your portrayal of Duan Wei has touched millions of viewers. What do you think is the greatest charm of this character? What was the biggest challenge you faced in creating her?"

Gu Lanxi thought for a moment and answered seriously:
"What touched me most about her was that no matter how much darkness she witnessed, she never gave up her pursuit of justice and righteousness. As for the biggest challenge? It was portraying the hidden contradictions within her. In this regard, I would like to express my special thanks to directors Gao Yunyi and Han Yucheng, as well as my partner Zhou Sinian. They helped me analyze this character and gain a deeper understanding of her spiritual core. I am very fortunate to have met such an excellent team."

Upon receiving the award, I didn't take credit at all, downplaying my own efforts and highlighting the hard work of my colleagues.

A respectable person, a very appropriate answer.

There was thunderous applause.

Gu Lanxi is not a pretty but clueless woman. She is thoughtful and tactful. In interviews or public appearances, she is usually very careful with her words and considerate of everyone's feelings. Hosts feel quite relaxed when dealing with her; she finishes asking one question and moves on to the next.
"The Hundred Flowers Awards are decided by the votes of the people. What would you like to say to the audience who supported you and voted for you?"

"What I want to say most is, of course, gratitude. It is because of so many viewers who love movies and care about the development of the industry that Chinese films have flourished. For an actor, recognition from the audience is the highest and most precious honor. Thank you for liking this story, and thank you for choosing me. It is your wholehearted support that has shaped me into who I am today. Thank you everyone!"

As she said this, Gu Lanxi looked sincerely at the camera and showed a very friendly smile.

Everyone who voted for her felt a sense of pride at this moment—[I was so damn good at choosing someone who is both outstanding and grateful!]

"As we all know, Lanxi is only 22 years old this year, and this is already her second Best Actress award. She is truly remarkable at such a young age!"

At such a young age, winning so many big awards inevitably brings a lot of skepticism.

The host wanted to know Gu Lanxi's perspective on this issue.

"So, Lanxi, in your opinion, what does this weighty recognition mean for your future acting career?"

If you don't answer this question well, you can easily get attacked online.

Gu Lanxi immediately became alert.

Having prepared his speech in his mind, he then began to speak with a serious expression:

"This award is not only for me, but also for every police officer, represented by Duan Wei, who has given their lives to protect the people. I am grateful to the film for giving me the opportunity to experience a different life and to convey the power that deserves to be seen. This is an honor for me, but also an encouragement. I will strive to be a useful person to society."

Applause erupted again, but no one screamed.

Many of those present today are fans of the Lanting couple, but they are very well-behaved. Whenever Gu Lanxi speaks, everyone listens quietly.

The two hosts nodded with smiles and stepped back.

"Strive to be a useful member of society—what simple yet firm words! I'm so glad that Chinese cinema has you!"

"Now, this stage belongs to you, Lanxi. Please give your acceptance speech!"

When Chen Lei got into trouble recently, Gu Lanxi went to great lengths to push for a major cleanup of the entertainment industry, which made more people with decision-making power see her influence on the entire industry and her overall perspective.

Besides the fact that the film was good and the role was outstanding, this was one of the most important reasons why she won the award.

Gu Lanxi was fully aware of this, and her speech was biased accordingly.

Looking at the audience, I composed myself and began to deliver my prepared acceptance speech:

"When darkness tries to obscure the sky, it is they who transform into the most steadfast stars, using their lives as fire to pierce the long night."

When evil tries to erode the earth, it is they who stand as the most towering mountains, building the Great Wall with their flesh and blood.

Their names may not be known to everyone, but their sacrifices have long been integrated into every inch of the land beneath our feet, becoming the enduring backdrop of our mountains and rivers.

Their faces may fade with time, but their spirit stands like a lighthouse, illuminating every step of the journey for those who come after them.

We all know that there is no such thing as a peaceful and carefree life in this world. It's just that there are such lovely people who are carrying the burden for us.

I am honored to play such a lovable and respectable police officer in "Lurking".

She made me understand what it means to "make a choice once, bear responsibility for a lifetime; wear a police uniform, and enjoy lifelong glory."

I am very happy that you like her, and that because you like her, you have extended that affection to me.

Thank you to my family for supporting my work; thank you to my colleagues for their excellent teamwork; thank you to everyone who contributed to this film!
This honor belongs to all of us.

thank you all! "

When it comes to getting emotional, Gu Lanxi is just as good as any other host.

Many people were moved to tears by his sincere attitude and gentle yet powerful tone.

After they finished their acceptance speeches, the host should have come up to give closing remarks, but neither of them did.

Just as Gu Lanxi turned around to look for someone, the lights dimmed, leaving only a beam of light on the stage, enveloping her.

Gu Lanxi was a little confused, but she was very patient and immediately stood still, responding to any situation with composure.

There was no music, only another beam of light lit up.

Holding a microphone, Lu Nanting stood in the light, singing the theme song of "Lurking" a cappella as he walked onto the stage, gradually approaching Gu Lanxi:
"The police badge pinned to your chest reflects your youthful face."
With firm steps, I walked into the night without ever looking back.

You said you wanted to protect a roof so that the lights could help you sleep peacefully.

The silent promise was etched into my bones and never uttered aloud.

You are the most silent brick of the Great Wall
It is the most resolute arrow that pierces the darkness.
If the mountains and rivers are safe and sound, and a gentle breeze caresses your face
That was a promise you kept with your life.
as you wish

......"

This song, "As You Wish," is a movie theme song written by AI. I think it's great. (The author's note won't count towards the word limit; the main text is under 200 words and won't cost extra, so don't accuse me of padding the word count.)
"The police badge pinned to your chest reflects your youthful face."
With firm steps, I walked into the night without ever looking back.

You said you wanted to protect a roof so that the lights could help you sleep peacefully.

The silent promise was etched into my bones and never uttered aloud.

You are the most silent brick of the Great Wall
It is the most resolute arrow that pierces the darkness.
If the mountains and rivers are safe and sound, and a gentle breeze caresses your face
That was a promise you kept with your life.
as you wish

I walk down the bustling street; a new chapter has begun in this world.
The children laughed and asked if there were any dangers in the fairy tales they used to hear.

I pointed to the highest mountain peak and said that heroes have turned into smoke and clouds.
Protecting the sun and moon and every ordinary tomorrow.
You are the most distant flame in the Milky Way
It is the most silent snow that nourishes the spring mud.
If families are reunited and laughter is sweet
That's you gently continuing the story.
as you wish

Your name may eventually fade into the past.

Your figure has become an unchanging benchmark.
We carry on the light you left behind, traversing the distance you didn't finish.
This prosperous era is just as you see every day.

You are the warmest side of the monument.

The most certain answer is that everything is alright in the world.

When the lights illuminate the rivers and mountains
I can finally whisper to you
Everything is as you wish

As you wish

As mentioned in Chapter 95, Lu Nanting accepted the role of composing the theme song for this movie, which can be considered as filling in the gaps in the plot.
