Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 369: Conferring the Title of Empress at the Golden Horse Awards! (12 words today)

Highlights of the four candidates flashed across the big screen in turn.
Taiwanese child stars Zhang Rongrong as Yangyang, Liu Yifei as Fengsheng, Yuan Quan as Rumeng, and Zhang Ziyi as Fengsheng.

"There are so many young actors this year!" Shu Qi exclaimed.

"Doesn't this just prove that the cast of Chinese actors is getting stronger and stronger?"

Wu Yanzu said with a smile.

The four nominees for Best Actress this year
Liu Yifei and Zhang Rongrong were both born in 87.

Although Yuan Quan and Zhang Ziyi were born in the 70s, they are actually born in the mid-75s.

They are all quite young, but these four have been in the industry for quite some time. Even Liu Yifei, who has been in the industry for the shortest time, has been in the industry for seven years.

"The winner of the Best Actress award at the 46th Golden Horse Awards is..."

Shu Qi slowly opened the envelope.
A look of surprise flashed in her eyes when she saw the name peeking out of the envelope.
Then the list was brought to Wu Yanzu's front.

She disassembled his reading.

"Zhang Ziyi!"

Wu Yanzu slowly read out the name.

Shu Qi glanced at him with a hint of surprise.

The camera captured this moment, and after the applause from the audience, the camera zoomed in on Zhang Ziyi in the first row.

Zhang Ziyi smiled broadly.

The pressure that had been building up inside me, like an iceberg, melted away in an instant.

She has finally achieved a grand slam in the Chinese-language film industry, winning the Golden Rooster Award, the Hong Kong Film Award, and the Golden Horse Award. From now on, she can be called a true triple crown actress!

Zhang Ziyi maintained an elegant posture under the camera, stood up and looked at Gu Bei beside her.

"Congratulations!"

Gu Bei stood up and gave her a light hug.

Although Gu Bei felt that Liu Yifei's performance was more amazing,
But Zhang Ziyi's performance was in no way inferior to the original Li Bingbing.

She deserves indelible credit for the success of The Message, and this Golden Horse Award for Best Actress is well-deserved!

Liu Yifei also stood up and hugged Zhang Ziyi. As an actress in the same drama, she also sent her blessings to Zhang Ziyi.

Gu Bei looked at Liu Yifei, who had just sat down beside him, and a hint of worry appeared on his face.

Liu Yifei smiled slightly at him.
His expression was relaxed and natural.
indeed,

Compared to everything she had experienced along the way,

Losing a Golden Horse Award wasn't a huge blow to her.

but,

Gu Bei looked at the large screen on the stage, and was slightly surprised.
Logically, at this point, the big screen should have started playing highlights of Zhang Ziyi, instead of still focusing on the four candidates.

Just as acquaintances in the front row were sending their blessings to Zhang Ziyi one by one,
Wu Yanzu, who was on stage, said, "Wait a moment, I need to make a correction."

Shu Qi also chimed in at the opportune moment: "That's right, this should be the first time such a situation has occurred in the history of the Golden Horse Awards, which is why Wu Yanzu misread it."

Did you mispronounce it?

Zhang Ziyi looked towards the stage.

My heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

"Yes, I originally thought this one was for you to read. There's another one, Liu Yifei, Fengsheng!"

Wu Yanzu read out the second list.

Double yolk egg!
The two leading ladies of "The Message" both won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress!

The applause that had just stopped immediately rang out again, even more enthusiastic than before.

After all, this situation is indeed rare.
Two yolks have appeared at the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Golden Rooster Awards before.

It has even appeared in the Golden Horse Awards for Best Supporting Actress and Best New Performer.

However, for the first time, the Golden Horse Awards for Best Actor and Best Actress were tied, with the two leading actresses from "The Message" winning the award.

The camera immediately focused on Liu Yifei's face.

Liu Yifei paused slightly, her dazed expression momentarily, before smiling gently. The smile bloomed instantly, even reflecting in her eyebrows and eyes.

She immediately looked at Gu Bei beside her and shared the unexpected surprise with him.

Gu Bei was also quite surprised.

You can feel her surprise even more from her eyes.

Liu Yifei put down her handbag.

She stood up and slightly opened her arms to Gu Bei.

The attitude is very clear: you've hugged other people, you can't possibly not hug me, can you?

Congratulations, Sisi!

Gu Bei smiled, stood up, and gave her a big hug.

“Not enough!”

A sly glint flashed in Liu Yifei's eyes.

She gently pressed her cheek against Gu Bei's, her soft cheek still carrying a hint of excited tenderness, and then did the same on the other cheek, completing a cheek kiss.

I almost thought you were going to kiss me!

Gu Bei and Liu Yifei, who was slightly smug, exchanged a glance.
He sat back down and watched as Liu Yifei turned around and hugged Zhang Ziyi again, giving her the same cheek kiss.

This is so that if you want to do something with someone, you have to do the same thing as everyone else in order to cover up your specialness!

"This year's two Golden Horse Best Actress winners have been announced!"

The host, Tao Jingying, spoke excitedly, enlivening the atmosphere of the scene.

Zhang Ziyi and Liu Yifei held hands.
The two of them went up to the podium together.
He received two Golden Horse Awards from Shu Qi and Wu Yanzu.

Zhang Ziyi wanted to let Liu Yifei give her acceptance speech first.

Liu Yifei naturally had to defer to her senior, Zhang Ziyi.
After the two of them politely deferred to each other,
Zhang Ziyi stood in front of the microphone, looked down and fiddled with the Golden Horse Award trophy for a while, then smiled and looked up to say, "I finally caught it today!"

The guests immediately burst into good-natured laughter.

From Zhang Yimou's debut with "My Father and Mother" to his first Golden Horse Award nomination the following year with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," this is now his third Golden Horse Award nomination.
Having already won both the Golden Rooster and the Golden Statue awards, they finally won the Golden Horse Award.

This dreamlike feeling is something only Zhang Ziyi herself can understand.

"First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the jury and the Golden Horse Awards committee for recognizing my performance."

Secondly, I would like to thank Director Gu Bei.

He decided that I would play this role without any audition.
And he helped me understand the character's emotional journey. It was thanks to Director Gu Bei's efforts that I was able to portray Li Ningyu so well. I will never forget the impact the role of Li Ningyu had on me!

As Zhang Ziyi spoke, her voice choked slightly, which was very touching.

Subsequently,

She took a small step back.
He indicated that he had finished his acceptance speech.

Liu Yifei can now give her acceptance speech.

The winner of a tie is at a significant disadvantage, as two people receive the same award, making it difficult for the latter person's acceptance speech to resonate with the winner again in a short period of time.

Holding the Golden Horse Award trophy, Liu Yifei glanced around before fixing her gaze on Gu Bei.

"It is a great honor to receive the Golden Horse Award. Thank you to the jury, the Golden Horse Awards organizing committee, and the entire production team."

The people I want to thank the most are the audience. It is a very happy thing for an actor to be able to resonate with the audience when playing a role.

Even more blissful is that

When I was feeling down
The roles I've played in the past give me strength in return.
Perhaps this is the reward for an actor's love for a role!

This is why I've always loved acting. It has shown me wonderful possibilities I never imagined. I hope everyone can know the strength in their own lives, and I hope I can move forward firmly on the path of acting and repay everyone with good works!
thank you all! "

The voice just fell,

The audience immediately erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Same award, completely different acceptance speeches.

Zhang Ziyi choked up as she recounted the hardships she had endured and the achievements she had made.

Liu Yifei expressed her gratitude for the significance of acting to her, noting that the Golden Horse Award was only halfway through her life and that she was now focused on looking ahead to the future.

While everyone was still in shock over the two leading actresses and two Best Actress winners in "The Message",
Following closely behind,
It was Huang Bo and Zhang Jiahui who won the Best Actor award.

The final two big prizes were won by "Can't Live Without You".

So far,

"Can't Live Without You" became the biggest winner at this year's Golden Horse Awards.
It won three awards, including Best Feature Film, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay.
In addition, it received two special awards: Outstanding Film of the Year from Taiwan Province and Best Film by Audience Choice.

The Message, on the other hand, benefited from the Best Actress awards won by both Liu Yifei and Zhang Ziyi.
In addition to Gu Bei's best adapted screenplay and Yang Shu's best cinematography,
This was the biggest highlight of this year's Golden Horse Awards!
However, compared to Feng Sheng's eight nominations and four wins, we can't do without your seven nominations and three wins.
The other two highly nominated films, Cow and Dreamlike, fared rather poorly.

At least Cow Fighting had Huang Bo with a Best Actor award.
As for Ru Meng, who received nine nominations...
It ended up with a zero.
Nine out of ten were selected.
They became the biggest loser at this year's Golden Horse Awards.

At the Golden Horse Awards celebration party,
The crew of "The Message" was undoubtedly the focus of the entire reception, with a constant stream of people coming and going.

The crew of "The Message" were given almost no time to eat.

no way,
Although we couldn't win the two grand prizes without you.
But all the Golden Horse Awards combined probably don't even come close to the box office champion of "The Message" in mainland China.

The cast and crew at the table at "The Message" gathered too many big names. Gu Bei goes without saying, and the two actresses who just won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress are among the most box office draws in China today.

"I won't drink the wine; I'll have tea instead!" Gu Bei said with a faint smile to the people who came to congratulate him.

Outside the venue earlier, everyone was tacitly rejecting him.
Once inside the private setting of the cocktail party...
Each one was more attentive than the last.
Gu Bei saw it perfectly.

"Of course, of course, drinking is really bad."

The other person had a big smile on their face and didn't seem to care at all.

at this time,

Liu Yifei approached with a middle-aged woman and a familiar face.
She smiled and introduced to Gu Bei: "Director Gu, this is Peng Yuyan, whom I worked with before on the Legend of Sword and Fairy set, and his agent."

"Director Gu, hello, I'm Peng Yuyan!"

Peng Yuyan looked at Gu Bei with great enthusiasm.

He just terminated his contract with his old agency this year and joined a new agency. Now is the time when he needs a representative work.

"Director Gu, our Yan Yan is known for her hard work in the industry. If there's an opportunity, we hope you'll consider her." The agent enthusiastically promoted Peng Yu Yan to Gu Bei.

He's a hard worker!

Gu Bei had heard this gossip before and had also seen many of the movies Peng Yuyan had acted in.

He just smiled faintly: "Directors naturally like to use hardworking actors, but with your Mandarin accent, it might be a bit difficult to get non-specific roles in my movies!"

"I……"

Peng Yuyan was slightly taken aback.

Regarding accents, whether he was filming in Hong Kong or in mainland China, he never encountered a director who cared about it.

"Director Gu, Yan Yan's accent isn't..." the agent wanted to argue further.

"Xiaoming, how's your Shanghai accent coming along?"

Gu Bei turned to look at Huang Xiaoming on the other side.

Huang Xiaoming quickly put down his wine glass and launched into a short speech: "What are you looking at, you country bumpkin!"

"Yes, and the tone is just right!"

Gu Bei gave Huang Xiaoming a thumbs up.

Subsequently,

He said to Peng Yuyan and his agent, "Whatever role you play, you have to embody that character, otherwise the role will be too superficial. What do you think?"

"Director Gu is right!"

Peng Yuyan quickly said.

Even if he really doesn't care,
This is not something that should be shown now.

After they left, Gu Bei looked at Liu Yifei, who was holding a wine glass and taking small sips, and asked, "You look like you're drunk, aren't you?"

"I'm not drunk!"

Liu Yifei, who had been quiet, suddenly spoke loudly.

Her voice
It startled the person next to them.

Well, he's really drunk!

With a smile, Gu Bei carefully examined Liu Yifei in front of him.

If you only look at Liu Yifei's face, you can't tell that she's particularly drunk, thanks to the makeup she wore for the awards ceremony.

Only a faint hint of pale pink could be seen.

It slowly spread from the sides of her nose, across her cheekbones.

Like a half-cooked shrimp, its white color is faintly tinged with red.

But just by looking at her red and burning ear tips, it was very obvious that she had just drunk quite a lot of alcohol.

"I'm really not drunk!"

Liu Yifei seemed to realize that Gu Bei was checking whether she was drunk or not, and she stubbornly insisted on proving that she was not drunk.

So she rested her chin on one hand.

They were looking at each other, about an arm's length apart.

Those beautiful almond-shaped eyes were always clear and bright.

Now, however, her eyes were veiled in a thin mist, and the corners of her eyes drooped slightly.
Even though she tried her best to look at Gu Bei intently, her focus soon shifted, as if she were looking away from Gu Bei and into somewhere else.

"Alright, alright, I'm not drunk!"

As Gu Bei said this, he quietly moved the wine glass next to her away.

"Hum~"

Liu Yifei immediately became happy.

She tilted her head slightly.

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly twice.
Even the blinking motion seemed to carry a sense of weakness and limpness.

Subsequently,

She unconsciously pursed her lips, as if she were thirsty.
Perhaps she tasted the lingering wine stains on her lips, because her lips, which were much redder than usual, parted slightly, and even her breath carried a hint of warm wine.

Liu Yifei is really cute even when she's drunk!

Gu Bei was also mindful that it was a cocktail party with too many people coming and going; otherwise, he would have definitely pinched Liu Yifei's delicate nose to see if she would still admit that she was drunk.

After a while,
The party began to end.
The crew of "The Message" also gathered together to go back.
As for what happens after they return to the hotel, that's none of Gu Bei's business.

"Snapped!"

Gu Bei led Liu Yifei to her room.

She's so drunk...

Gu Bei was definitely worried about leaving her in a room alone.

Seeing Liu Yifei sitting on the edge of the bed, looking slightly dazed, Gu Bei decided to go to the bathroom to take a shower first. It was the first time he had seen Liu Yifei drunk, and judging from the current situation, her behavior when drunk seemed to be quite good.

When Gu Bei came out of the bathroom, rubbing his hair with a bath towel,
A dark figure pounced on him and shoved him against the wall.

Is he about to start acting crazy while drunk?
"what?"

Gu Bei looked down at Liu Yifei with a helpless expression.

"Kiss~"

Liu Yifei looked up and asked for it.

Seeing her still unconsciously pursing her lips, Gu Bei's heart stirred, and he kissed her without hesitation. He had been craving those lips, which were much redder than usual, all night.

"Well--"

Gu Bei smelled the warm scent of alcohol on Liu Yifei's nose, and his movements became more intense. This Liu Yifei, who was completely different from usual, gave him a brand new sense of excitement.

After a while,
Gu Bei finally let go of Liu Yifei; alcohol really does enhance the atmosphere!

He looked at Liu Yifei, whose breathing was slightly rapid, but suddenly noticed that her eyes had regained their clarity, and he was startled: "You're not drunk?"

A woman, slightly drunk, can deceive you until your heart breaks.
"I acted!"

Liu Yifei raised her chin slightly with a smug look.

She clung to the back of Gu Bei's neck like a koala.

He planted a big kiss on Gu Bei's cheek, leaving behind a trail of drool.
Then he grinned foolishly and said, "On the contrary, it's you who drank so much; you're practically drunk!"

Okay, it seems you really are drunk. This feeling of being drunk is clearly coming from you!
Gu Bei figured it out.

Liu Yifei's drinking behavior is somewhere between crazy and not crazy.

Even when she's drunk, she remains quiet outside.
Once she was in the private setting, she immediately began her performance!

He carried Liu Yifei all the way to the room, and was about to put her under the covers when he couldn't shake her off. Liu Yifei clung to him tightly like a koala.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do to get down here?" Gu Bei could only try to reason with her.

"Like them!"

Liu Yifei pointed in that direction in a capricious manner.

Gu Bei followed Liu Yifei's finger.

I saw two Golden Horse Awards trophies on the bedside table, placed together in a very difficult pose.
He had to rotate his head ninety degrees to see the movement clearly.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Give it a try!"

the next day.

Liu Yifei slowly woke up.
Memories of last night's frenzy began to flood her mind.
Actually, she wasn't too drunk last night.

If you're really drunk, then you'll completely black out.
But recalling what happened last night, it would be better to just let her have a blackout!

"Awake?"

Hearing the noise outside, Gu Bei leaned against the door frame, looking at her with a smile.

"what--"

Liu Yifei simply wrapped her head in the blanket.

Although running away is shameful, it was very useful to be an ostrich!
