Abstract Art Award Winner

After hanging up the phone with Wang Baoqiang, Zhou Le did feel a bit more relaxed, finally able to continue the work.

But this time, the good news that Zhou Le finally won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor spread quickly online. After all, the Golden Rooster Awards are not only held offline, but also broadcast live on CCTV's movie channel.

Moreover, the domestic film industry is actively recruiting all kinds of young actors. For example, Zhang Zifeng, Yi Yangqianxi, and Liu Haojian were nominated this year, and many self-media and traditional media are also paying attention to this.

When a highly anticipated award is announced, everyone has to stay up all night typing away on their computers to release the news as soon as possible.

Whoever posts earlier and manages their account better will get more traffic.

Therefore, as soon as they finished, all sorts of press releases and video accounts sprang up online like mushrooms after rain.

Zhou Le won the Best Actor award at the 34th Golden Rooster Awards for his role in "Cliff Walkers".

"A new king is crowned! Zhou Le wins the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor."

These are headlines published by official media outlets, so they naturally need to look more formal.

There were also quite a few comments below.

"Congratulations to Brother Le on winning the Best Actor award! He deserves it! If you ask me, he should have won the Best Actor award a long time ago. His acting skills are truly unmatched among the younger generation in the Chinese entertainment industry."

"You scared me! 'A new king is crowned'? I thought Zhou Le had gone back to his hometown and started his own country. It's all so dramatic. But I think the editor is a fan of Zhou Le too, right?"

"What's so surprising about that? Zhou Le is popular with all ages. I even saw a video of a 70-year-old lady saying she was a fan of Brother Le."

Aside from official media, the titles of articles on social media platforms are much more attractive.

A Win-Win Situation of Capital and Strength: Analyzing the Logic Behind Zhou Le's Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor

"Best Actor Plus Best New Director: This is the Right Way to Transform from Popularity to Success"

"Zhou Le Declares Himself Emperor; Audience: Is There Hope for Chinese Entertainment Now?"

Zhou Le blushed at the sight of these headlines.

Does it have to be hyped up like this? He's been called a king and an emperor, and he only won one Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor. If he wins another one in the future, how much will the media hype him up?

Wouldn't they instantly become gods?
After watching all these articles and videos, Zhou Le suddenly had a feeling: if he were to suddenly die right now, wouldn't he be remembered for generations?
But thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem wrong. Since my official debut, even though I've acted in bad movies and played supporting roles, the roles I've played have all been quite outstanding.

He's a consistent winner in film and television investments, always hitting the jackpot. He also won first place in racing competitions and has made significant achievements in other fields as well.

It's fair to say that he's now only one death away from becoming a legend.

"Sigh, forget it. Whether it's legendary or not, I'm only in my early twenties. I've been working hard all this time, and I haven't even had a chance to truly enjoy it yet. I should just focus on living well."

After watching for a while, Zhou Le noticed that Deng Jiajia winning the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress was also a major event.

After all, in previous years, the winners of these awards were mostly veteran actors. Although Deng Jiajia is not young now, apart from "iPartment" being the most popular, even though he has played some outstanding roles in other works, Deng Jiajia himself is not very well-known in the industry.

It's not that she doesn't have any traffic. As mentioned before, if she were willing to do live streaming to sell goods, as long as the traffic is sufficient, she could surpass Li Jinming, who once played Chen Meijia in "iPartment," in no time.

However, she did not choose to monetize this traffic, which resulted in a significant difference between her public exposure and commercial traffic within the industry.

Even though Deng Jiajia won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress and the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actress for her outstanding performance in the movie "Silent Witness", and later received a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the Magnolia Awards, she is still considered a second-tier actress in terms of star power, at most a second-tier actress with solid acting skills.

She certainly has many film offers, but there aren't many truly good films available for her.

After falling asleep, Zhou Le had a dream that night. He dreamed that he had won every award he could get in China, and then, like his predecessors Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, he tried to break into the European and American markets, and finally broke through many obstacles to win the Academy Award for Best Actor.

He just didn't know why, but he felt that the trophy felt a little different from the ones in China. Even if it was gold-plated, the trophies in China were at least hard to hold, but why did this Oscar trophy feel so soft?

Although it's soft, it does feel quite comfortable to the touch, it's just a little small.

When he woke up, he groggily opened his eyes and suddenly found that there was someone in front of him.

"Oh shit!"

Zhou Le was startled, but he quickly realized that it was Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye also attended the Golden Rooster Awards this time, after all, she played a major role in "Cliff Walkers". Although she didn't win the most prestigious Best Actress award this time, she did win the Best Newcomer award.

Zhou Ye was clearly fast asleep, and even Zhou Le's exclamation didn't wake him. He just mumbled in his sleep, "Come on, don't just talk the talk, don't make me look down on you."

Zhou Le: "???"

What does this mean?
Did I just have a conversation with you before you answered, especially in a dream?
He sat up and thought for a moment, realizing that he had given Zhou Ye his room key card before.

Although they stay in hotels, the front desk usually gives them 2-3 room cards, which is to make it convenient for the artist's assistant or manager to come back and help them get something.

There's no need to go to the front desk for this kind of thing, because it's to ensure the privacy of the artists, unless the artists themselves have requests, such as changing the flowers in the vase every day to a fixed variety and color.

But he didn't expect that Zhou Ye would sneak over after he fell asleep.

"Yeah, I've been too tired these past few days and have been sleeping too soundly. Normally, how could I not have noticed?"

Zhou Le sighed, but he didn't blame Zhou Ye. Although Zhou Ye was usually carefree and would rush up to scold people without hesitation when something happened when they first met, he was still young, only in his early twenties, and was still very girlish when he was with him in private.

"Fine, fine, since we're here, let's make the best of it. You've already said that, so what else can I say?"

Zhou Le is really not good at saying no to others, especially to the girls he's close to.

An hour later, Zhou Ye lay resentfully on the bed, watching Zhou Le, who was barefoot on the floor, preparing to take a shower.

"What are you doing? I was sleeping and you came here. At first I thought I was dreaming, but when I woke up I found it really was you. It's been over an hour and you haven't given me a chance to explain. Are you even human?"

Zhou Le didn't take it seriously: "Don't you know whether I'm human or not? Those titles you just used on me, weren't they all things people would say to them?"

Zhou Ye blushed for a moment: "How would I know what I just said? I wasn't fully awake yet."

"What's wrong with not being fully awake? Didn't you just say that I was in your dream too?"

"Who said it was you! I was dreaming about a little dog named Zhou Lele."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Le exclaimed, "Oh, so you have this kind of hobby!" But before he could finish speaking, a pillow flew over.

"You're the one with that kind of hobby. I'm a normal person, okay? I'm not talking to you anymore. I need to rest a little longer. You've been bothering me all morning."

"What do you mean I'm making things difficult for you? Didn't you sneak over here yesterday? Did I sleepwalk into your room and then carry you back?"

"Hehe, you've already said the reason yourself. The innocent are innocent, and the guilty are guilty. I won't explain."

Zhou Ye turned his head away as he spoke.

Zhou Le smiled and went into the bathroom.

Not long after, Zhou Ye also walked in.

"You're here? What a coincidence, you're taking a shower too?"

"Yes, what a coincidence! I'm here to attend the Golden Rooster Awards. What about you?"

"Me too, what a coincidence."

It took them more than an hour to finally emerge from the bathroom, and another hour to get dressed and leave the room one after the other.

The film festival is over. Normally, they might still be able to wander around Xiamen, but things are different now, so it's better to go back as soon as possible.

After completing the necessary registrations, the two boarded a plane and returned to Beijing.

Zhou Le had previously arranged for a driver to help him drive his car to the parking lot.

It's been a long time since I've driven. I've been busy lately and haven't raced in the last two years, so I'm itching to get back in the car.

Although they were recognized at the airport, fans followed them all the way to the parking lot.

"Alright, everyone, let's go back. We've arrived. I was quite busy preparing for the Golden Rooster Awards and didn't get much rest. I need to take Xiao Ye back first, and then I need to go back and get some rest myself."

Zhou Le waved to his fans before getting into the car.

"Brother Le, congratulations on winning the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor. Is this your first Best Actor award?"

"No, this should be my second one. I remember this information is on Baidu Baike. It seems you are a true fan of mine, never bothering to look up these things."

"Haha, I'm a true fan of yours too! I don't even follow you on Douyin or Weibo."

"Good brother, I'll remember you."

"Brother Le, I love you!"

When Zhou Le heard the voice, he looked up and saw a young man.

Thank you, I love you too.

"Brother Le, I love you!" Several girls saw this scene and shouted it out as well.

Zhou Le looked at everyone and said, "Thank you everyone, I love myself too."

"That's not fair! Why can't you love us?" several girls protested, laughing as they shouted.

"Look at what you're saying. Everyone knows I'm joking when I say that to him. If I really said that to you guys, there would be problems. After all, I don't want to have any female fans. That would be too scary."

"Haha, don't worry! We like you, but only your face, your work, and your personality. We have other options when it comes to dating."

"thank you all."

While Zhou Le was chatting casually with his fans, someone soon asked, "Brother Le, how come you're with Xiao Ye? Are you two really together?"

Zhou Le: "???"

But Zhou Ye quickly explained, "Don't spread rumors, everyone. We're just from the same film crew, so we went to the Golden Rooster Awards together. Afterwards, we all took the same flight back, and I hitched a ride with him."

"Actually, it's not impossible for you two to be together. Ono, I like you so much!"

But as soon as he said that, the other fans were not happy either.

"I still think Le Ge and Nazha are a better match."

"Really? I think Dilraba would be a good match for him too."

"Xiaotian is not bad either, Xiaotian is so cute."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Le quickly raised his hand to stop them, saying, "Wait a minute, don't talk nonsense. You can't say these things carelessly. If word gets out, people will think I'm a womanizer."

Sometimes creating a romantic pairing is for promotional purposes, but you can't just say things like that all the time. You can say whatever you want about me, just don't ruin their reputations. And I'm making it clear beforehand that these people have absolutely nothing to do with me. If netizens want to criticize me, they should criticize the fans who said these things, not me. It has nothing to do with me.

Zhou Le knew that there were many such comments online, but online is online and offline is offline, especially in front of him. Saying such things would definitely ruin him.

"Alright, you guys are too scary. I'm leaving now. Everyone should go home early too. Also, you don't really need to come to pick me up at the airport anymore. I've mentioned this many times. If we happen to run into each other, it's fine to take a photo or get an autograph, but there's no need to make a special trip. You might as well sleep a little longer at home."

Afterwards, Zhou Le prepared to leave, and the fans very consciously made way for him.

In the car, Zhou Ye looked at Zhou Le and asked, "To be honest, when they were talking about that topic just now, did your heart skip a beat?"

"Of course there are, but how should I put it, it's impossible for an artist not to have any scandals. It's just that some artists are in such high positions that their scandals are suppressed and not spread as much online. Of course, except for my brother Baoqiang. Brother Baoqiang really doesn't have any scandals. You can't dig them up even if you want to."

Speaking of Wang Baoqiang, Zhou Le truly admires him from the bottom of his heart.

I remember liking Wang Baoqiang ever since I was a child. Although he looked simple and honest, he was very likable. Later, when I grew up a bit, I felt that Wang Baoqiang was really down-to-earth. At that time, many people said that Wang Baoqiang could only play fools, but Zhou Le thought that it was also amazing to be able to play a fool well.

Later, Feng Yuxiu appeared in "Kung Fu Jungle".

So Zhou Le had always wanted to work with Wang Baoqiang, but Wang Baoqiang stopped making films and started to want to direct. After working together once, Wang Baoqiang approached Zhou Le again. Actually, Zhou Le had thought about it before even reading the script. Even if the script was a little bad, even if it was a script like "Buddies in India", he was willing to work with him.

There was no other reason; he simply wanted to get to know the script better. Of course, if the script was short of money, Zhou Le would never have invested in it.

After dropping Zhou Ye off at home, Zhou Le thought for a moment, but ultimately decided against going back to rest. Instead, he called to ask where Wang Baoqiang was, and after getting his address, drove straight to find him. (End of Chapter)
