Run, Best Actor!

Chapter 38: The Undisputed Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress

"Yang Mi actually won an award!"

As the "Golden Eagle Goddess" of this year's Golden Eagle Awards, Liu Shishi also participated in the subsequent awards ceremony.

I was just a spectator the whole time.

Unfortunately, due to the new regulations implemented at the beginning of this year, time-travel dramas have been completely wiped out.

Even though her "Scarlet Heart" received far higher praise than Yang Mi's "Palace" last year, she only received a nomination for Most Popular Actress at the Magnolia Awards this year.

A nomination for the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress is now out of reach.

Seeing her former best friend, now a stranger, win the Golden Eagle Award before her again, she felt incredibly conflicted.

I do feel envious.

Jealousy, of course, also exists.

hatred?

That's not true.

If you want to climb higher in this world of fame and fortune, you have to abandon your charitable facade.

Amidst the public feud between Tangren CEO Cai Yinong and Yu Zheng, Yang Mi resolutely took on the role in the latter's drama "Palace: The Lock Heart Jade," a work that clearly borrowed from "Scarlet Heart."

In particular, the drama "Palace" aired more than half a year before "Scarlet Heart," and almost reaped all the benefits of time-travel dramas, causing Tang Ren to suffer great losses.

Yang Mi, in particular, became incredibly popular in the Chinese entertainment industry for most of 2011, which made Cai Yinong extremely uncomfortable.

In her opinion, Yang Mi was simply ungrateful. If she had agreed to sign with Tang Ren after leaving Rong Xinda, Tang Ren would naturally have been able to share in her success.

Liu Shishi wasn't feeling too good at the time either.

After all, Yang Mi has risen to great heights, but when they filmed "Chinese Paladin 3" together, they were still about the same level.

This psychological gap is truly distressing.

Yang Mi deliberately took on the role in "Palace" without telling her, which really shows she doesn't treat her like a sister.

After that, the two completely broke up.

But don't talk about the second brother, eldest brother.

Before that, when Yang Mi was targeted by Cai Yinong because she didn't sign with Tang Ren and didn't film "Fantasy Zhu Xian" with the original cast of "Chinese Paladin", Liu Shishi didn't try to persuade Cai Yinong for the sake of her former best friend.

Liu Shishi didn't know what she was thinking at the time.

She probably still agreed with what Cai Yinong had told her in her heart:

"Shishi, since Yang Mi refuses to sign with Tangren, then we will be enemies from now on!"

Don't blame me for being ruthless, but for actresses, the resources at the top of the entertainment industry are limited. If she gets one more bite, no one else can get any.

Shishi, you have the potential to climb to the top, but if Yang Mi were still around, you probably wouldn't be able to surpass her.

Because that girl is indeed very suitable for a career in the entertainment industry, and her abilities and luck are truly outstanding.

If we don't take advantage of her lack of backing this time and suppress her, we won't be able to control her in the future.

"Do you, Shishi, intend to be overshadowed by her for the rest of your life?"

Are you willing to accept this?

That's naturally something to be unwilling to accept.

Liu Shishi is a person who is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. The title "Poetry Master" is not given for nothing.

So she never regretted going from best friends to adversaries with Yang Mi.

Seeing that the other party has now won the Golden Eagle Award, becoming the first among actresses of their generation to receive it, she couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.

If you keep fighting and watching the other side climb higher and higher, what's the point of fighting all the way?

With a self-deprecating laugh, Liu Shishi watched Yang Mi walk onto the podium and silently thought to herself, "Congratulations, Yang Mi..."

Yang Mi had no idea how complicated her former best friend's thoughts had become because of her winning the award.

At this moment, she was filled with countless thoughts.

Standing on the podium, facing Li Jianqun who was smiling at her, Yang Mi could no longer hold back. She called out "Teacher Li," and two tears fell down her cheeks as she threw herself into Li Jianqun's arms.

"Alright, alright, how old are you? Stop crying in public!"

Li Jianqun gently stroked Yang Mi's hair and comforted her, "Wipe your face, so many people are watching."

"Exactly, and why do you snuggle into your mother's arms without even glancing at your father?"

Liu Wei, who was standing to the side, muttered to herself.

Hey~~~

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi burst into laughter through her tears and looked at Liu Wei, saying, "It's because Father Emperor is such a womanizer that he always makes Mother Consort sad and tearful."

Upon hearing this, Liu Wei feigned sadness, "Sigh, it seems the Li family's feng shui is bad; our little darling is leaking cold air!"

The "family of three" joked and laughed on stage as if no one else was around, making everyone else burst into laughter.

Many people in the audience were amused by the three of them.

Lin Yongjian, who was also on stage, had a slightly forced smile.

Why are you guys trying to grab attention like this when you're all receiving awards together?

Moreover, the camera kept following the "family of three" and didn't film him much, even though he was the actor who won the Best Actor award for the second time!

In 08, at the 24th China TV Golden Eagle Awards, Lin Yongjian won the Audience's Favorite TV Actor Award for his role as Xi Gengtian in "The Story of happy Gengtian".

This is the second time he has won this award.

Unfortunately, in terms of popularity, he is still not as popular as Yang Mi, a top female celebrity.

This is the difference between veteran actors and popular stars, even though everyone knows that veteran actors have better acting skills and are the "cornerstone" of film and television dramas.

However, the focus of attention will inevitably shift to the popular celebrities.

Just like the TV series "Before Dawn" starring Lin Yongjian and Wu Moubo, anyone who has seen it knows that Lin Yongjian's portrayal of Tan Zhongshu was so good that he could easily beat Wu Moubo's portrayal of Liu Xinjie!

Like Station Chief Wu in "Lurking", his performance was surprisingly steady.

Unfortunately, his personal charisma is not as good as that of Wu Moubo, and he has instead helped to elevate the other party's status.

Wu Moubo also won the Guanxi Award this year, and soon rose to the top tier of the industry. It was all a matter of timing and fate.

Fortunately, Yang Mi has high emotional intelligence. She noticed that Lin Yongjian's expression was off, so she quickly leaned closer and said, "Teacher Lin, please give your acceptance speech first."

Lin Yongjian glanced at Yang Mi with surprise, and seeing the sincerity in her eyes, his expression returned to normal.

She's triumphant yet remains humble, maintaining her childlike innocence—no wonder this girl is so popular now.

She smiled and nodded slightly to Yang Mi, accepting her kindness, before stepping forward to speak into the microphone.

Having already won the Guanxi Award twice, Lin Yongjian was naturally relaxed and at ease.

Lin Yongjian, abandoning his humorous image from his CCTV Spring Festival Gala skits, passionately expressed his gratitude: "Thank you to my mother for giving me a face as ordinary as can be, as common as can be!"

Such a heartfelt answer earned a round of applause.

However, the audience then posed a rather blunt question to Lin Yongjian: "Aren't you worried that your children will inherit your looks?"

Two years ago, Lin Yongjian's son was born. When He Jiong asked him on the spot whether his son looked more like his father or mother, Lin Yongjian loudly replied, "Is that even a question? He looks like his father! My son looks exactly like me, he could never be the son of Old He and Old Sa next door."

This answer amused a lot of people.

Unexpectedly, the big screen then played an interview with Lin Yongjian's wife, which included many photos of the family of three. Every time Lin Baobao "appeared," the audience burst into laughter because the father and son looked so alike.

After the laughter, there was also warmth. After his son was born, Lin Yongjian rushed to the film set. When his son was 15 days old, he fell seriously ill. His wife, Zhou Qiqi, bore the enormous pressure alone to support him in filming, which made Lin Yongjian burst into tears on the spot.

This scene also touched Yang Mi, who was standing next to him.

Her parents have always been there to support her, giving her enough emotional support to cope with the hardships and challenges she faces in her work and life.

Now, with Liu Taile by her side, she has experienced another kind of happiness.

Thinking of Liu Taile, who is far away in Yanjing, I wonder if he is paying attention to whether I can win an award tonight.

They must be paying attention.

I'll call him and ask after the awards ceremony.

Well, Yang Mi had no idea that some scoundrel was still drinking and socializing with someone.

"Honey... Honey! What are you thinking about? It's your turn to give your acceptance speech!"

Li Jianqun reminded him in a low voice.

Yang Mi then remembered that she hadn't given her acceptance speech yet.

"I'm so sorry, everyone, I was just too excited, it felt like I was in a dream!"

Yang Mi reacted quickly and immediately leaned over to the microphone to speak.

A burst of good-natured laughter followed, then applause.

Similarly, Yang Mi first thanked the Golden Eagle Awards jury, followed by the cast and crew of "The Love Story of Yanjing".

The camera panned across Chen Sicheng, Tong Liya, and others in the audience, and those captured on camera all smiled and looked at the lens.

"Finally, I also want to thank my family; you have always been my strong support!"

With red eyes, Yang Mi said, "Just like what Teacher Lin Yongjian just said, only with the support of our families can we go further!"

I am truly happy to receive this award from my father and mother today.

I would also like to thank the Golden Eagle Awards jury once again for awarding me this prize. I will continue to work hard and dedicate myself to creating even better works to give back to the audience and my fans!

Yang Mi's fans must be really happy, because Yang Mi didn't forget them on such an important occasion.
