Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

The short film ended, and the lights came back on.

Jackie Chan led all members of his stunt team onto the stage to gently sing the classic song "True Hero".

The song, gentle yet passionate, pierced through the rain, each word a heartfelt tribute to all the unsung heroes who have dedicated themselves to the cause for decades, working silently and anonymously, their blood and flesh forming the foundation of light and shadow.

Without the spotlight or the support of fame and fortune, it is the most solid foundation of Chinese-language action films.

When the song ended, the entire audience erupted in thunderous applause that lasted for a long time.

Then came the awards ceremony, where the most prestigious awards were announced one by one.

The Best Action Actress award went to Gulnazar.

She stood out with her hardcore action scenes in "The Swordsman: The Wind Rises in the Desert" that were performed entirely without special effects or stunt doubles. Her clean and dashing movements, solid skills, and immersive character portrayal perfectly demonstrated the practical strength of the new generation of action actors.

The stage was slippery due to the rain, and Nazha's long dress with its wide hem was completely soaked, making it difficult for her to walk.

Just as she was slightly flustered, Gu Zhiyan quickly stepped forward, carefully raised his hand and gently lifted the heavy, wet hem of her skirt, helping her avoid the puddles and ensuring she could walk steadily forward.

This scene was captured precisely by the camera and instantly spread across the internet, receiving a flood of likes and comments. Netizens praised it, saying, "Gentleness is hidden in the details, and good manners are etched in one's bones."

After the awards were presented, the stage performances continued to ignite the entire venue.

Zhang Yixing braved the torrential rain to deliver a steady performance of the theme song of the same name, "Legend".

Her clear yet powerful voice pierced through the rain, the wind and rain complementing her singing, creating an extremely immersive atmosphere. She sang flawlessly throughout, paying tribute to Jackie Chan's decades-long dedication to action films and his unwavering passion despite numerous injuries.

Zhang Jie's new adaptation of the classic "Drunken Fist" breaks away from the original nostalgic tone. The song is powerful and explosive, with a strong presence. It blends traditional Chinese style with modern trends, singing about the passionate spirit of young people in the martial arts world and pushing the atmosphere of chivalry to a climax.

Liu Xijun performed "Swords Like Dreams," showcasing the gentle spirit of martial arts. She joined hands with folk music artists and stunt performers to perform on the same stage. Her melodious and ethereal singing voice was paired with her crisp and clean Chinese-style martial arts moves, perfectly interpreting the unique oriental romance of Chinese martial arts with a balance of strength and gentleness, tenderness and chivalry.

At the pinnacle of their stage careers, Gu Zhiyan and Cheng Long shared the stage, two generations of filmmakers standing side by side, singing the timeless classic "A Man Should Be Self-reliant".

The powerful and resounding singing echoed through the rainy night sky, carrying on the legacy of the past and present, and continuing the spirit of chivalry. The powerful feeling was overwhelming, igniting the entire audience and becoming the most exciting and classic stage moment of the night.

As the song ended, the most glorious moment of the ceremony arrived: the lifetime achievement.

The lights dimmed, and the entire audience held their breath, awaiting the announcement of the highest honor.

The organizing committee presented the most prestigious Iron Man Lifetime Achievement Award to Dillon, a veteran filmmaker who has dominated the silver screen for six decades and dedicated his life to the field of martial arts action films.

At eighty years old, Dillon stood tall and walked with a steady gait. Despite the passage of time, his spirit remained dignified as he calmly stepped onto the rain-soaked stage.

Jackie Chan strode forward and personally presented the trophy to Dillon. The spotlight pierced through the misty rain, and the two action film stars, spanning half a century, embraced tightly.

An embrace that holds the weight of time, a hug that carries on tradition—countless cameras captured this timeless scene, making it the most moving and emotionally resonant moment of the night.

Dillon stood before the microphone, looking energetic and dignified, and recited Su Shi's famous line in a clear voice: "A touch of noble spirit, a thousand miles of exhilarating wind."

A single line of poetry perfectly captures the unwavering spirit and pride of all the filmmakers on that rainy night, and the indomitable spirit of Chinese filmmakers. The imagery is magnificent and perfectly fitting.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in thunderous applause that lasted for a long time.

During the roundtable forum at the ceremony, Timur Bekmanbertoff, the chairman of this year's jury and a renowned Hollywood director, gave a high evaluation that is sure to be etched in film history in front of top filmmakers from both China and abroad:

"In the world of action movies, we are all mountain climbers, and Jackie Chan is the guide who stands on the mountaintop and shows us the way."

Every word carried immense weight, and no one could disagree.

It is common knowledge in the industry that Jackie Chan's international status has never come from marketing hype or capital accumulation.

Starting as an unknown martial arts performer on the streets of Hong Kong, covered in scars and risking his life filming, he carved out a path for himself, established himself in Hollywood, and became famous worldwide. To this day, when people overseas mention Chinese Kung Fu, the first thing that comes to mind is always Jackie Chan.

This glory, etched in the world's film industry, is the foundation built through decades of hard work and a hard-earned status that money and fame can never replace.

That evening, filmmakers spanning three generations, including Wang Jing, Tang Jili, Lin Chaoxian, Zeng Zhiwei, and Peng Yuchang, all gathered together.

Half of the film industry, who would hardly gather for a regular commercial event, flocked to the "Jackie Chan International Action Film Week" regardless of the weather, just for those six words.

This is the world of martial arts.

It wasn't about fighting and killing; it was about exchanging hearts and minds, about the friendship and vision accumulated over decades.

The entire event was broadcast live, and the buzz lasted from the red carpet until late at night. Dozens of trending topics dominated various platforms, and the event was widely discussed by ordinary people, fans, industry insiders, and official media.

"The 2026 film and television winter exposed the superficiality and clichés, but this grand ceremony on a rainy night revealed the purest spirit of filmmakers! The heavy rain could not extinguish their passion, and sincerity will never be let down."

"I was moved to tears watching the Cheng Family Stunt Team's 'True Hero.' It turns out that behind the brilliance on screen are countless nameless stuntmen's lifelong scars and perseverance."

"Gu Zhiyan lifting her skirt is such a touching detail. She has strength, vision, and gentleness. This is what a top new generation star should be like."

"Dilron's righteous spirit, Jackie Chan's lifelong chivalry, Gu Zhiyan's youthful innocence, and in one night, we understand the passing down of the torch of Chinese cinema."

"Special effects can be faked, but blood and flesh, gentle cultivation, and sincere original intentions can never be faked."

"Gu Zhiyan remained clear-headed and insightful throughout, never arrogant despite the 600 billion yuan box office success. He showed reverence for the stage on screen and treated people with kindness behind the scenes. His values, character, and overall perspective are top-notch!"

"Xiao Yan and Cheng Long sang 'A Man Should Be Self-reliant' together on a rainy night. It was both a passing of the torch and a tribute. The new generation is taking the baton. It was so inspiring and so moving!"

"While others have shrunk and fallen behind during the harsh winter, Gu Zhiyan has risen to the top against the trend and is moving forward steadily. He has established himself with his works and won fans with his character. He truly deserves the title."

"This is the most significant event for the industry's redemption in 2026. Blockbusters fail because they lose their sincerity, Grandma's comeback is because she held onto sincerity, stunt performers are immortal because they persist in hard work, and Gu Zhiyan reaches the top because he never changed his original aspiration."

"The Cheng family's fifty years of perseverance, Cheng Lung's global stature, Dillon's integrity, and the new generation's continuation of the legacy have pointed out the only way out for the bewildered film and television industry: content is king, and sincerity wins."

"In an era of rampant formulas and profit-driven capital, this rainy night celebration proves that the struggle of flesh and blood, gentle kindness, and pure passion are always the core vitality of film."

CCTV-6, China News Service, China Daily and other official media outlets simultaneously published articles: Undeterred by wind and rain, their passion for film and television remains unchanged; their hard work carries on the spirit of Chinese-language cinema.

The film week was praised for paying tribute to the unsung heroes behind the scenes, continuing the torch of action films, and injecting warmth and strength into the industry's winter.

That evening, related trending topics continued to dominate the search rankings.

The storm has passed, but our original aspirations remain.

As night deepened and the rain gradually subsided, the Ferris wheel lights gently swirled in the misty rain.

A night of wind and rain washed away the superficiality, allowing the true nature of things to settle.
