Run, Best Actor!

To Yang Mi's surprise, she saw a familiar figure in the backstage waiting area.

It was directed by Chen Jialin.

"Grandpa Chen!"

Yang Mi quickly stepped forward and greeted him softly, "Long time no see! How have you and Teacher Li been doing lately?"

"Hey, long time no see, Mimi."

Despite it being an awards ceremony, Chen Jialin, dressed casually, responded with a smile, "Yes, your teacher Li and I are both doing well lately."

Oh, others may not know, but we do. Congratulations!

"ah?!"

Yang Mi was startled, but then she remembered what Jia Shikai had told her before.

Previously, Mr. Li Jianqun joined the "Palace: Lock Heart Jade" production team as an art director after being invited by Liu Taile.

Thinking of this, Yang Mi smiled shyly, "I'm sorry you and Teacher Li had to laugh at me."

I made a mistake before and chose the wrong one, but thankfully I'm making amends and choosing the right one.

"Hey, who doesn't make mistakes when they're young?"

Chen Jialin gently patted Yang Mi's shoulder, "It's good that you corrected it in time."

"Uh-huh."

Yang Mi nodded and said with a smile, "When Xiao Le and I have time, we'll go back to Beijing to visit you and Teacher Li!"

"Okay, then I'll have your teacher, Ms. Li, cook you something delicious."

Chen Jialin nodded in agreement, but the expression on her face was a little strange.

After chatting for a few more minutes, the two were informed by staff that it was time to go on stage.

As introduced by hosts He Jiong and Sa Beining, the two walked to the microphone and began preparing to present the award.

As is customary, the two award presenters first exchanged a few pleasantries on stage.

"Many people may not know this, but I was 4 years old when I first acted!"

Yang Mi excitedly held up a four and said, "That's when I discovered my first director, who was also my first mentor, was my grandfather, Director Chen Jialin!"

Seeing that Yang Mi was really excited, almost gesturing wildly, Chen Jialin looked into the microphone and smiled wryly, "Yang Mi gets nervous as soon as she sees me? Ha~~"

After saying that, Yang Mi smiled shyly.

Looking back, Chen Jialin said with emotion, "I have worked with Yang Mi twice. The first time was when we were filming 'Tang Minghuang,' when she was only 4 years old."

When we collaborated for the second time, she showed me her photos, and I was shocked! I never expected her to have grown into such a beautiful young woman!

Later we collaborated again on "Wang Zhaojun"...

With a slight lift of her head, Chen Jialin's tone was still filled with emotion, "This... time flies so fast, so fast. In the blink of an eye, little Yang Mi has grown from 4 years old into a beautiful young woman!"

Oh dear, girls really do change a lot as they grow up...

"Yes, time really flies!"

Chen Sicheng, watching Yang Mi and Chen Jialin chatting on stage, couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Sicheng also starred in "Wang Zhaojun", playing the male lead Wang Dun. He met Yang Mi in that drama.

"Oh yeah, you filmed this drama in 05?"

Tong Liya asked curiously.

"That's right, the show was filmed in the second half of 05."

Chen Sicheng replied, "Seven years have passed in the blink of an eye."

The show aired in 07, so it's been 5 years now. Time really flies!

"Hey, I'm really curious, you and Mimi have known each other for so long, but there's never been any spark between you?"

Tong Liya asked, feigning curiosity.

"When I met Yang Mi, she was only 19 years old."

Chen Sicheng looked at the other person with amusement and said, "She's still just a little girl, always chattering away."

Especially since she has a really sharp tongue and is always insulting people. Would I be crazy enough to contact her? How could we possibly live together after that?!

The truth is, they were both smart enough to see at a glance that the other wasn't their type.

Yang Mi, in particular, vaguely sensed Chen Sicheng's scumbag nature, and therefore maintained a safe distance from him as a friend.

She actually feels quite sorry for Tong Liya now; she's with a scumbag and will definitely suffer in the future.

However, Tong Liya is currently unaware of Chen Sicheng's true nature and is completely under his control.

Hearing the other party's explanation, she felt a little relieved.

Unfortunately, Tong Liya isn't very famous yet, while Yang Mi is already incredibly famous.

Just like Chen Jialin said on stage, Yang Mi is so beautiful...

Tong Liya, who is currently somewhat self-conscious because of her dark skin, is really afraid that Chen Sicheng might suddenly change his mind.

However, Yang Mi is quite shrewd. Even though Tong Liya was somewhat wary of her, they still got along quite well.

In contrast, neither of them actually liked the other female lead in "The Love Story of Yanjing".

Her desire to climb the social ladder is understandable, but to seduce two married men in succession is simply too despicable.

However, the other party also received a nomination for the Guanxi Award this year, which was won for another work, "What Can Save You, My Love".

Well, it seems Chen Sicheng did help the other party register for "The Love Story of Yanjing," but he certainly didn't go all out to help them.

That makes sense; having two actresses nominated for a film is quite conspicuous.

All three made the shortlist?

Chen Sicheng is not capable of going to space yet!

However, Zhang Xinyi has a wide network of connections, so she still received a nomination.

There is absolutely no chance of winning an award.

While the young couple chatted offstage, Yang Mi and Chen Jialin onstage reminisced about the past before the awards ceremony officially began.

The two presented the awards for Best Screenplay and Best Director for a TV series.

The winners are Wang Chaozhu, screenwriter of "The 1911 Revolution", and Yan Jiangang, director of "China Land".

The Best Screenplay award isn't particularly important, but the Best Director award is definitely one of the biggest awards.

To be able to present such an important award, especially alongside the renowned director Chen Jialin.

It's safe to say that Yang Mi is incredibly popular right now.

Their industry standing is indeed different.

After the awards were presented, Yang Mi returned to her seat.

Next, we will present the third group of "Happy Celebration" awards.

What Yang Mi didn't expect was...

The award presenters who came up were surprisingly Liu Wei and Li Jianqun!

"No, how could it be Professor Li Jianqun?!"

Yang Mi gasped inwardly, "Grandpa Chen didn't say anything just now..."

"Oh, Mimi, this means..."

On the other side, Tong Liya suddenly realized something and exclaimed to Yang Mi in surprise, "Your chances of winning the next prize are extremely high!"

Earlier, Chen Jialin mentioned "Tang Minghuang", and the two people on stage now are the actors who played Li Longji and Wu Huifei in the drama.

That is, the father and mother of Princess Xianyi, played by Yang Mi.

Liu Wei and Li Jianqun chatted about everyday things on stage, and the conversation eventually turned to the TV series "Tang Minghuang".

"Just now, Director Chen talked about this drama on stage and mentioned Yang Mi, who was only 4 years old at the time."

Liu Wei also sighed, "Who would have thought that the little baby from back then would grow up to be so beautiful! It's like we've all grown old in the blink of an eye."

"Old Liu, speak properly."

Wearing glasses, Li Jianqun exuded an intellectual beauty. He playfully scolded Liu Wei, "We've just matured, not gotten old!"

"Oh dear, my bad, my bad. Saying such things in front of my beloved concubine, I deserve a beating!"

As he spoke, he actually patted his own face lightly.

Hahaha~~~

A burst of laughter erupted from the scene.

Liu Wei's witty remarks enlivened the atmosphere.

The two then performed their duties as presenters. Liu Wei announced first: "The winner of the Audience's Favorite TV Drama Actor Award is Lin Yongjian from 'My Name is Wang Tudi'!"

Li Jianqun followed up, "The winner of the Audience's Favorite TV Actress Award is..."

She looked tenderly at a certain "little fox" in the audience, "Yang Mi from 'The Love Story of Yanjing'!"

"Ahhh~"

Tong Liya exclaimed happily, "Honey, it really is you! Go claim your prize!"

Yang Mi's eyes were already slightly red. Upon hearing this, she grinned and hugged everyone from the "Yanjing Love Story" crew. Then, she lifted her skirt and walked onto the stage to accept the award.

She finally won the Golden Eagle Award!
