Huayu Entertainment: It was the young actress who took the initiative.

Chapter 106 Li Lin: I'm coming to your house tonight~

12 month 16 day.

BJ, a conference center.

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

When Chen Mo's van drove into the parking lot, it was already packed with people.

Fans waited in the cold wind, holding up light boards and their phones.

The "Chen Mo" sign was particularly eye-catching.

Chen Mo got out of the car and waved to them.

The fans erupted in screams.

Li Xiaoyu walked beside him, flipping through tonight's schedule: "Brother Mo, we need to go to the backstage dressing room first. The dressing room for the Princess Agents crew is in section C, number 3."

Chen Mo nodded and stepped into the elevator.

The elevator is going up.

The door opened to reveal a long corridor covered with a dark gray carpet, with closed doors on both sides.

The notes on the door read: "The cast and crew of 'In the Name of the People'", "The cast and crew of 'Ode to Joy'", "The cast and crew of 'Princess Agents'", and "The cast and crew of 'White Deer Plain'".

Chen Mo found room 3 in section C and then pushed open the door.

Some people have already arrived inside.

Zhao Liying was sitting in front of the makeup mirror, and the stylist was doing her hair.

She saw Chen Mo enter through the mirror and waved to him with a smile, "Chen Mo! You're here!"

Chen Mo walked over and said, "Sister Liying."

Zhao Liying wore a long dress today, with her hair up, revealing her slender neck.

"Wow, that's amazing! Character of the Year!"

Chen Mo smiled and said, "I was lucky."

Lin Gengxin peeked out from the side and sighed, "It's not about good luck, it's all about ability."

He walked over, patted Chen Mo on the shoulder, and said, "You're really hot this year."

Chen Mo looked at him and said, "Brother Geng Xin looks very handsome today too."

Lin Gengxin wore a dark blue suit today, with a neatly tied bow tie; he looked quite good.

Upon hearing this, he waved his hand, then glanced at Chen Mo and said, "I can't compare to you. That outfit of yours, is it Gucci haute couture?"

Chen Mo looked down at himself.

A black velvet suit, double-breasted, with a satin lapel and a silver brooch pinned to the chest.

He nodded: "Yes, the brand provided it."

Lin Gengxin clicked his tongue twice, his tone full of envy: "The brand ambassadors of top luxury brands are just different."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the door was pushed open again.

It was Li Lin who walked in.

She wore a white short skirt today, her hair was up, revealing her shoulders, and she wore a thin necklace around her collarbone.

As soon as she entered, her gaze fell on Chen Mo, and her eyes lit up immediately: "Chen Mo."

Chen Mo smiled too: "Sister Qin."

Li Qin walked over, looked him up and down for a while, and then couldn't help but exclaim, "You look really handsome today."

Looking at her elegant and dignified appearance, Chen Mo praised, "Sister Qin looks beautiful today too."

Li Qin raised an eyebrow: "Is it just 'very pretty'?"

Chen Mo thought for a moment: "It is very beautiful."

Li Qin laughed, her eyes narrowing as she laughed.

Lin Gengxin watched from the side and muttered to himself, "I have a feeling there's something going on between these two—"

Zhao Liying glanced at him in the mirror, then sighed silently without saying a word.

Wang Yanlin and Deng Lun also arrived.

As soon as Wang Yanlin entered, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Chen Mo! Congratulations!"

Deng Lun followed behind, smiling as he said, "Donghua Dijun and Yan Xun, these two characters are indeed incredibly popular this year."

As the group was chatting, a staff member knocked on the door and came in: "Dear teachers, the red carpet event is about to begin. Please get ready."

The dressing room was bustling with activity again.

Zhao Liying adjusted her skirt one last time.

Lin Gengxin straightened his bow tie.

Li Lin touched up her lipstick in front of the mirror.

Chen Mo stood up and straightened the hem of his suit jacket.

The six of them walked out of the dressing room together.

It's 5:30 in the evening.

Red carpet scene.

The media area was already packed with people, with cameras and microphones pointed at the entrance to the red carpet.

The screams from the fans echoed throughout the area.

Chen Mo stood in the waiting area.

Ahead are the cast and crew of "Ode to Joy," including Liu Tao, Jiang Xin, Wang Ziwen, and Yang Zi, posing for a photo on the red carpet.

Further ahead is the cast and crew of "In the Name of the People," where Wu Gang and Zhang Zhijian are being interviewed by the host.

Chen Mo's gaze swept across the crowd. He saw Zhang Zhijian, and Zhang Zhijian saw him too, smiling and nodding at him.

Chen Mo smiled and nodded in greeting.

A staff member's voice came through: "The 'Princess Agents' crew, prepare!"

Chen Mo took a deep breath.

Zhao Liying linked arms with Lin Gengxin and walked at the front.

Li Qin linked arms with Chen Mo and followed behind them.

Wang Yanlin and Deng Lun, who are not in a romantic relationship, walked at the very back.

The lights on the red carpet were dazzling.

A tidal wave of screams erupted: "Zhao Liying!!!"

"Lin Gengxin!!!"

"Chen Mo!!!"

"Li Lin!!!"

"Princess Agents!!!"

Chen Mo walked on the red carpet, with flashes of light going off one after another.

He maintained his smile, looking at the camera.

Li Qin, standing beside him, whispered, "Aren't you nervous?"

Chen Mo turned his head and glanced at her: "What's there to be nervous about? I'm not nervous."

Li laughed: "I'm not nervous at all."

The two walked up to the autograph board.

Chen Mo took the pen and wrote his name on the board.

Look back.

smile.

The sound of camera shutters clicking filled the air.

The host greeted them: "Welcome to the cast and crew of 'Princess Agents'! Li Ying, Geng Xin, Chen Mo, Li Qin, Yan Lin, Deng Lun, come on, stand in the middle!"

Six people stood in a row in front of the autograph board.

The host first asked Zhao Liying and Lin Gengxin a few questions, then turned to Chen Mo: "Mr. Chen Mo, you have two works this year, Donghua Dijun and Yan Xun, both very classic roles. Which one do you prefer?"

Chen Mo thought about it carefully for a moment, then replied, "I like them both. Donghua Dijun was my first important role, and Yan Xun showed me more of my own potential. I like both roles very much."

The host nodded, then asked Li Xin a few more questions, and said, "Okay, thank you to the 'Princess Agents' production team! Please move to the inner area!"

The six of them walked into the venue together.

It's 6:30 p.m.

The interior of the conference center.

Chen Mo took his seat in the third row.

On the left is Li Lin, on the right is Lin Gengxin, and further to the right are Zhao Liying, Wang Yanlin, and Deng Lun.

The crystal chandeliers overhead cast a warm yellow light, making the entire interior space look magnificent.

The large screens on both sides of the stage are playing classic clips from previous National Drama Awards.

Suddenly the lights dimmed and then came back on, and Jing Tian's opening song and dance performance began.

While watching the performance on stage, Li Xin leaned close to Chen Mo's ear and whispered, "I'm going to your place tonight~"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo chuckled and then whispered, "Is Sister Qin's water heater broken again?"

Li Qin quietly reached out and pinched Chen Mo's waist.

"Hiss~ Are you going all out?"

Hearing this, Li Qin released her grip and then revealed a smug smile: "Who gave you the right to tease me?"

Seeing her smug look, Chen Mo leaned close to her ear and whispered, "You're so selfish. You haven't thought about yourself at all tonight."

Li Qin was stunned for a moment, then pleaded, "Then what should I do? Can you be a little gentler tonight?"

Chen Mo glanced at her, looking curious: "Is your dress expensive?"

Li Qin instantly understood, glared at him, then thought for a moment: "Do you like it? If you like it, it's not expensive! I'll wear it to your house tonight~"

"it is good."

Chen Mo nodded in satisfaction.

Lin Gengxin, watching the two exchanging glances, asked curiously, "What are you two talking about?"

"It's nothing."

Chen Mo said without changing his expression.

Lin Gengxin glanced at them suspiciously, then shrank back.

Jing Tian had finished her performance on stage, and the stage lights dimmed briefly.

The National Drama Awards Ceremony has officially begun.

The large screen on the stage lit up, and rousing music resounded throughout the venue.

The host walked onto the stage and, after some opening remarks, went straight to the point: "This year's National Drama Awards will adopt a tribute format—direct awarding of prizes, without any suspense."

The excellent works and actors of this year deserve the most direct recognition.

Applause erupted from the audience.

Awards were presented one by one, and film crews went on stage one by one to receive them.

Interspersed with singers' performances, the atmosphere was both lively and solemn.

Chen Mo looked at the stage, feeling very calm.

Until "Next up is the award for Youthful Performing Idol of the Year".

The host read out the award names.

A round of applause erupted from the audience.

The large screen lights up.

First scene:

White Deer Plain

Li Lin plays Tian Xiao'e.

That woman with a tragic fate flashed across the screen.

Second scene:

In "Princess Agents," Li Xin plays Yuan Chun.

The princess's innocent and carefree nature in the early stages contrasts sharply with her despairing and darkened gaze in the later stages, creating a striking visual effect on screen.

The third scene:

Princess Agents —

Yuan Chun knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

That was Yuan Chun's most desperate moment.

The image freezes.

The host's voice rang out: "She is Tian Xiao'e, she is Yuan Chun. She used her performance to interpret the diversity and depth of youth."

She is—Li Qin.

The audience erupted in applause.

Chen Mo turned to look at Li beside him. A smile bloomed on her face. She stood up and hugged Chen Mo.

Chen Mo whispered in her ear, "Congratulations."

Li Qin gave a soft "hmm," released him, and walked towards the stage, lifting her skirt.

On stage, she accepted the trophy from the award presenter.

She stood in front of the microphone, the light shining on her.

"Thank you for the National Drama Awards, thank you for the judges."

Her voice was steady, but her eyes were a little red.

"Thank you to the crew of 'White Deer Plain' for giving me the opportunity to challenge such a complex role as Tian Xiao'e. Thank you to the crew of 'Princess Agents' for letting me meet Yuan Chun."

She paused.

"I also want to thank all my viewers and friends who have supported me."

Her gaze swept across the audience and landed on the seating area of ​​the "Princess Agents" cast.

Finally, I would like to express my special thanks to one person.

The audience fell silent.

Li Xin continued, "He is my partner and also my friend. He gave me a lot of help and encouragement when we were filming 'Princess Agents'."

o

She smiled.

"Chen Mo, thank you."

The camera instantly cuts to Chen Mo.

On the big screen, Chen Mo's face appeared before everyone.

He paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded at the camera.

The fan section exploded instantly.

"Aaaaaaah!!!"

"Chen Mo!!!"

"Li Lin thanks Chen Mo!!!"

"They're so sweet together!!!"

The screams nearly lifted the roof off.

Lin Gengxin glanced back at Chen Mo, a hint of teasing in his eyes.

Chen Mo ignored him and just looked at Li Xin on the stage.

She stood in the light, her smile gentle.

The two looked at each other for a second across the crowd.

Then Li Qin bowed slightly and walked off the stage.

Back in her seat, she placed the trophy on her lap and turned to look at Chen Mo: "Did I do well just now?"

Chen Mo looked at her: "Very good."

Li Qin smiled, a smile even sweeter than the one she had on stage earlier.

The ceremony continued.

Several more awards were presented, and several more performances were staged.

Then, "Next up is the award for Best Character in a Drama Series."

The host's voice rang out.

"First, please look at the big screen."

The large screen lights up.

First scene:

In "Eternal Love" (Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms), Chen Mo plays Donghua Dijun.

In Taichen Palace, Donghua, dressed in purple, sat alone, holding a chess piece.

He raised his eyelids and looked out of the painting.

That look in his eyes was as faint as snow that has been there for a thousand years, yet it also carried a very light warmth.

The narration begins: "He is the Donghua Emperor, who has lived for 360,000 years. He is indifferent and aloof, but after meeting her, he learned to be moved."

Second scene:

"Princess Agents" - Chen Mo plays Yan Xun.

Nine Nether Terrace.

Yan Xun knelt in the pool of blood, trembling all over.

He looked up at the row of heads.

There were no tears in her eyes.

I am completely lost.

Only the empty space left after it was torn apart.

The narration begins: "He is Yan Xun, the heir apparent of Yanbei, who fell from the clouds to the abyss, from a sunny youth to a sinister and ruthless hero. With just one look, he broke countless hearts."

The image freezes.

Two characters, two faces, presented in the same person, showcasing completely different temperaments.

The host's voice rang out: "Two characters with completely different personalities and backgrounds, yet his performance made both characters deeply memorable. He is Chen Mo!"

The audience erupted in thunderous applause.

But even louder than the applause were the screams from the fans.

"Chen Mo!!!"

"Aaaaaaah!!!"

"Emperor Donghua!!!"

"Yan Xun!!!"

The screams nearly shattered the roof.

Chen Mo stood up.

Li Qin watched him from the side, her eyes shining: "Go ahead."

Chen Mo nodded, hugged everyone around him, and then walked towards the stage.

He walked past rows of seats, and people on both sides turned to look at him.

There were envious glances, kind smiles, and hushed whispers.

He walked straight to the stage without looking to the side.

Walk up the steps.

Walk to the center of the stage.

He received the trophy from the presenter.

He stood in front of the microphone, looking down at the audience.

The screams continued.

It wasn't the kind of polite, perfunctory applause.

It was a genuine, heartfelt scream.

The camera pans across the fan area, where countless light sticks are swaying.

"Chen Mo", "Emperor Donghua", "Yan Xun"

Some fans are crying.

Someone was holding up a light sign and waving it frantically.

Someone shouted "Chen Mo" until their voice cracked.

The camera then panned across the artists' section.

The celebrities sitting in the audience all had something different in their eyes.

Someone whispered, "This popularity—it's terrifying."

"Only 22 years old, that's quite an achievement."

You have to admit it.

Wang Yanlin's mouth was open in an "O" shape.

Deng Lun's eyes widened, and he whispered, "Holy crap, this popularity—"

Chen Mo stood on the stage, listening to the screams.

He raised his hand.

Raise a finger and place it to your lips.

Gently shush.

The movement was very light and casual.

But the screams stopped abruptly.

The entire theater was so quiet you could hear someone breathing.

offstage.

Wang Yanlin couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap???"

Deng Lun's jaw almost dropped in astonishment.

Lin Gengxin leaned closer and lowered his voice: "This guy, he's usually unassuming, but he acts all high and mighty once he gets on stage."

Wang Yanlin nodded vigorously: "You're such a good actor, I want to act like that once too."

Deng Lun said quietly, "Then you have to gain popularity first."

Wang Yanlin shut up.

Li Lin sat in her seat, looking at Chen Mo on the stage with admiration in her eyes.

All I could see was that person standing under the light.

Chen Mo lowered his hand and smiled slightly.

The smile was faint, but it carried an indescribable composure.

He spoke.

"Thanks."

The voice was soft, but every word was clearly heard throughout the room.

"Thank you for the National Drama Awards, thank you for the judges."

He paused.

"Donghua Dijun and Yan Xun are two roles I played this year. They are very different, but they have one thing in common: they both look at the audience."

"They are the kind of people who keep all their feelings hidden in their hearts."

The audience was completely silent.

"Donghua has lived for 360,000 years. He has seen too many partings and deaths, so he has suppressed his emotions very deeply, so deeply that he has almost forgotten them."

Yan Xun had experienced the destruction of his family and the loss of his loved ones. He wore all his hatred on his sleeve, but the softest spot in his heart was always reserved for her.

His voice has a peculiar magic that makes you want to keep listening.

"Playing such roles is actually very tiring. Because you have to put yourself in their shoes and feel their pain."

He paused.

"But it's also a happy experience. Because after you finish acting, you'll find that you understand love, hate, and what it means to be unable to let go better than before."

He looked down at the audience, his gaze sweeping over the familiar faces.

"Thank you to Lin Yufen, the director of 'Eternal Love', and Wu Jinyuan, the director of 'Princess Agents'."

His gaze lingered on Li for a second.

"Thank you to all the actors and staff I've worked with. Without you, there would be no Donghua and Yanxun."

Finally, he looked at the fan section.

"Thank you all. Thank you for liking Donghua, Yanxun, and me."

He bowed slightly.

"I will continue to work hard and repay everyone with better roles."

Applause erupted again.

But this time, it wasn't screams, but genuine, heartfelt applause.

Chen Mo took the trophy and walked off the stage.

People on both sides of the road were watching him the whole way.

Some seniors nodded to him, some peers smiled with envy, and some staff members quietly gave him a thumbs up.

He responded to each one, but his steps never stopped.

As Chen Mo sat down, Wang Yanlin, Lin Gengxin, and Deng Lun next to him said in unison, "You're pretty good, kid!"

This is the highest praise a guy could receive.

Looking at Chen Mo beside him, Li had only one thought in his mind: "Let's get home quickly!"
