Run, Best Actor!

第26届华国电视金鹰奖的颁奖典礼在2012年9月8日至9日于湘南省星城举行。

The 66 awards presented at the awards ceremony will be divided into four rounds, while important awards such as the "Audience's Favorite TV Drama Actor and Actress Awards" will be presented separately at the closing ceremony.

For example, on September 8th, the day before, three rounds of awards were presented.

The first round of awards presented 20 outstanding TV drama awards, including "Factory Flower", "Legend of Shaolin Temple: Heroes of the Desert", "The Indelible Number", "My Name is Wang Tudi", "Lady Shexiang", "Cliff", "Broken Thorn", "Snow Leopard", "Empresses in the Palace", "Before Dawn", and "Sister Jiang".

The second round of awards was for television arts and animation, including 10 awards for outstanding television arts programs, 3 special awards from the organizing committee for television arts programs, and 5 awards for outstanding animation.

The biggest award, the Best Television Arts Program Award, naturally went to the 2012 Spring Festival Gala.

The third round of awards was for television documentaries and promotional videos.

A total of 10 awards for outstanding television documentaries, 1 award for best television documentary, 4 awards for outstanding television promotional videos, and 1 award for best television promotional video were presented.

On September 9th, the Golden Eagle Awards ceremony and closing gala will present 11 individual awards for best individual creation, revealing and awarding the grand finale prizes for this year's TV drama performances, screenwriting, directing, cinematography, and other works.

"Wow, I'm so nervous!"

Tong Liya gently patted her chest.

The following year she turned thirty, but it was still her first time attending an awards ceremony for such a mainstream industry award.

She was nominated for the Audience's Favorite Actress Award for her role in the hit drama "Yanjing Love Story" earlier this year.

It's no wonder she was "captured" by Chen Sicheng; it's really hard for actresses in the film and television industry to refuse male directors who bring them fame and fortune.

Of course, given that this was her first nomination and her performance wasn't exceptionally good, Tong Liya's chances of winning the award were practically zero.

The nomination list for this year's Guanxi Actress Award is as high as 25 people, more than double the number of nominees in the previous year, covering three generations and featuring many talented actresses.

Tong Liya was practically insignificant among them.

Moreover, their film "The Love Story of Yanjing" has two actresses nominated for this award.

The other person was Yang Mi, who was sitting there calmly.

"Honey, aren't you nervous at all?"

Tong Liya asked curiously.

The other person has a much higher chance of winning than she does.

"Well, maybe it's because they participated in the Huabiao and Magnolia Awards before."

Yang Mi replied softly, "So I really don't feel anything."

Upon hearing this, Tong Liya was speechless.

Yes, because last year's "Palace" was incredibly popular, Yang Mi attended both the Shanghai Magnolia Awards and the Huabiao Awards, and even won the Most Popular Actress Award in the audience vote at the Magnolia Awards.

Although it's a popularity award, its prestige in the industry can't compare to that of the Best Actress award.

But those votes were cast by viewers and fans, which also proves how popular Yang Mi was back then. She truly deserves to be called the woman who defined the "Yang Mi era".

In the TV series "The Love Story of Yanjing", Yang Mi plays Yang Zixi, who is only the third female lead and is a gold digger who is not actually likable.

However, Chen Sicheng submitted all three female characters in the drama for the Golden Eagle Award, and as a result, Tong Liya and Yang Mi's characters were nominated, but Zhang Xinyi's character was not selected...

I guess it's because time-travel dramas have been banned since early 2012, which is why the hugely popular "Palace" couldn't be nominated for the Golden Eagle Award last year.

But Yang Mi has been so popular these past two years, it would be a shame not to give her a nomination.

As a result, Yang Mi was nominated for the Best Actress Award at this year's Golden Eagle Awards for her role as the third female lead, Yang Zixi.

However, this is not considered a record.

The audience's favorite TV drama actor/actress award does not stipulate that only the male/female lead has a chance to be nominated and win the award.

In fact, as long as you are a main actor in the production team and have commendable acting skills, you are likely to be nominated for an award if the production team submits the application.

For example, Yue Hong, who was also nominated for the Best Actress Award this year, was nominated for her role as the fourth female lead in the TV series "Looking Up and Seeing Happiness"!

As can be seen, since the Golden Eagle Awards do not currently have a Best Supporting Actor/Actress award, the Happy Awards do not actually restrict nominations to only the lead actors and actresses, and even the winners!

"It has to be you, otherwise I'd really want to punch someone for saying that!"

Tong Liya said fiercely, "Good heavens, so you think this major lottery is yours to run? You can't just come and go as you please?!"

"Oh dear, you can't say that!"

Yang Mi quickly grabbed the other person's arm and said coquettishly, "Hehe, Sister Aya, I misspoke. I'm not nervous because I have a big heart."

"Alright, stop trying to cover it up, I know that already."

Tong Liya chuckled and patted Yang Mi lightly, "I know you debuted early and became very famous, so this kind of occasion is nothing to you."

"I'm just a small-time actor, and this is my first time attending a major awards ceremony. Of course I'm nervous!"

"Oh, Sister Aya, don't worry. With Chen Sicheng helping you from now on, you'll definitely be able to attend these kinds of events all the time."

Yang Mi said with a smile.

"Oh, I wouldn't dare agree to something like that!"

Before Tong Liya could reply, Chen Sicheng on her other side retorted, "Mimi, you overestimate me. How could I possibly have such great abilities?"

"You worthless piece of trash!"

Yang Mi pointed at the other person and said, "I'm helping you, didn't you realize?"

"I can see now, you're trying to get me into trouble."

Chen Sicheng scoffed, "I'm just a junior, how could I dare to make such boastful claims?"

Then, he explained to Tong Liya, "Wife, it's not that I lack ambition, it's just that some big words really shouldn't be said!"

"I know, I know."

Seeing these two clowns bickering in front of her, Tong Liya covered her mouth and laughed.

"Tch~~"

Yang Mi scoffed, "I can see it now. You're a scumbag. You tricked Sister Ya Ya into your life, and now you're just giving up."

"Sister, let's not stay with this jerk anymore. I'll find you someone better in the future."

"Several mistresses of Yang Xiaomi, the wife I finally found, and you're going to ruin her for me like this?!"

Chen Sicheng panicked, "Honey, don't listen to her. She's a real scumbag. We're not going to hang out with her anymore."

"No, you surnamed Chen, explain yourself clearly, how have I been a jerk?"

Yang Mi exploded and pressed on relentlessly.

What do you think?

Chen Sicheng looked at her with disdain, "The only single, high-quality man around you is Liu Taile, who's younger than you, right? Do you want to introduce him to Aya?"

Someone used to pursue you relentlessly, and when you refused, you introduced other people to them? Isn't that awful enough?!

Okay, so this is the "scumbag" that Chen Sicheng remembers.

Yang Mi realized that she might be being a little too sensitive.

Sigh, keeping a relationship secret is really difficult.

"No, don't I have any other male friends?"

After feeling relieved, Yang Mi couldn't help but retort, "I know plenty of good men!"

"Who else? Your class monitor, Wang Renjun? He has a girlfriend. Wang Jiao from your studio? I think he's getting married soon."

Chen Sicheng actually knew Yang Mi's friends like the back of his hand. "Could it be Li Chen? Although it's not good to talk bad about your friends behind their backs, I'm not a good person. To be frank, that guy is unreliable."

"..."

Yang Mi discovered that Chen, the scumbag, was indeed impressive, having thoroughly investigated the relationships of all her male friends.

After a moment, she noticed the crux of the matter: "You actually admitted to Sister Ya Ya that you're not a good person?!"

"So what?"

Chen Sicheng said shamelessly and proudly, "Women don't love men who aren't a little bad. I think your Uncle Liu and I should have a lot in common."

"Hmph~~"

Yang Mi snorted coldly, "Hmm, I can see that. You two must be birds of a feather. I'll let you get to know each other better next time."

"Um?!"

Chen Sicheng was somewhat surprised to see this.

It might indeed be the sensitivity of a scumbag.

He felt that Yang Mi wasn't as attentive to her boyfriend anymore.

"Did they have a fight?"

Chen Sicheng was very curious.

"Alright, you two, shut up."

Seeing that the two of them were talking more and more, Tong Liya couldn't help but try to mediate, saying, "Mimi, shouldn't you get ready? You have to go on stage later."

Oh, Yang Mi was also a presenter at this year's Golden Eagle Awards.

"Yes, it's almost time."

Yang Mi was keeping track of the time in her mind.

There are four groups in this year's Guanxi Award, and two groups have already been awarded.

They are Wen Zhang (Snow Leopard) and Chen Yan (Iron Pear Blossom), as well as Wu Moubo (Before Dawn) and Ma Su (Factory Flower).

Insert a few other awards in between.

It's worth mentioning that this year's Golden Eagle Awards ceremony included a special segment where each winner had to answer a question posed by an online user.

When Hui Zhang was the first to go on stage to receive his award, the question displayed on the big screen was clearly somewhat pointed: "Does it put pressure on you when your wife is more famous than you?"

Wen Zhang makes no secret of his enjoyment of the "little man" role: "Actually, she has always been more capable than me. She was supposed to come with me today, but she's a producer now and has a lot of things to handle. She has always been more capable than me."

This display of affection...tsk tsk~~

No wonder he was later beaten so badly; he really spoke too confidently beforehand.

As the awards ceremony proceeds, Yang Mi will soon take the stage to present the awards for Best Screenplay and Best Director for a TV series!
