Run, Best Actor!

In the future, in 2024, a timeline that was originally set in the future, suddenly a claim emerged that Yang Mi had never won a major award in her 20 years in the industry.

The reason was that the 32nd China TV Golden Eagle Awards ceremony was approaching that year, and promotional materials related to the Golden Eagle Awards were also launched one by one.

Among them, the most touching was the promotional video that spliced ​​together interviews with current nominees and acceptance speeches from past winners. As a result, this promotional video, which was less than two minutes long, sparked widespread controversy.

The promotional video features the voices of several past winners, such as Sun Li, winner of the 22nd Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress, and Hu Ge, winner of the 28th Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor.

It's worth noting that the official award names are "Most Popular Actress" and "Most Popular Actor." This seems to imply that the winners of the Best Actor and Best Actress awards are also the winners of the Most Popular Actor and Actress awards.

The promotional video immediately attracted the attention of netizens, especially Yang Mi's fans, the "Bees".

Because Yang Mi won the Most Popular Actress Award at the 9th China Golden Eagle TV Art Festival for her role in "The Love Story of Yanjing," and received a crystal trophy, her fans (known as "Honeybees") believe that Yang Mi, having won the Most Popular Actress Award, is a Golden Eagle TV Queen. This promotional video has given fans the confidence to "argue their case."

Just as Yang Mi's fans were using screenshots from the promotional video to "vindicate" their idol, the official team quickly edited the video. While the changes were minor, they effectively refuted the fans who had called Yang Mi the Golden Eagle Award winner. The award title was changed from "Most Popular Actress" to "Audience's Favorite TV Drama Actress."

Popularity has become insignificant; audience liking is the only standard.

The official emergency edit seems to indirectly confirm that the Golden Eagle Awards recognize the Best Actor and Best Actress as the actors and actresses who have won the Audience's Favorite Actor/Actress awards, and the trophies they receive are all gold cups.

Regarding the controversy surrounding the Golden Eagle Awards' crystal trophy and gold trophy, New Wolf Entertainment has publicly clarified that the trophy for the China TV Golden Eagle Awards has always been the gold trophy, while the crystal trophy is an award for the China Golden Eagle TV Art Festival, established in 2003, and is not part of the Golden Eagle Awards.

This video edit is not a big deal; it's like removing all of Yang Mi's previous awards.

In an instant, Yang Mi, a top female celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry who had been a mainstay for nearly two decades, became a laughing stock.

Since his return to the entertainment industry in 03, he has been in the business for 21 years and has never won a major award.

Who is it in contrast to?

She is Zhao Liying, a rising star among the post-85 generation actresses, known in the martial arts world as "Zhao Xiaodao" (Little Knife Zhao).

She won both the Golden Eagle Award and the Flying Apsaras Award for Best Actress. The Golden Eagle Award, in particular, is the "Guanxi Award" for Best Actor/Actress according to the official Golden Eagle Awards. She won the Guanxi Award once in 2016, and this is her second time winning it in 24, making her a two-time Golden Eagle Best Actress.

Moreover, that year, Zhao Liying also won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Hundred Flowers Awards, achieving success in both film and television.

Suddenly, it seemed like the leading figure among the post-85 actresses had changed.

But is that really the case?

It's only been 12 years, and it's already starting to be recorded in the annals of history?

Have we forgotten that in the internet age, everyone can access information on their own?

After all, the 26th Golden Eagle Awards and the 9th Golden Eagle Festival awards ceremony received numerous media reports.

Then let's look at the situation when Yang Mi and Wen Zhang received their awards.

They received the grand prize that was announced last at the Golden Eagle Awards that year.

Generally speaking, the awards at the later stages of an awards ceremony are more prestigious.

Moreover, the guests who presented the awards to the two were no ordinary people.

Meanwhile, after the two received their awards, the hosts He Jiong and Sa Beining announced the vote counts for the top four most popular male and female actors.

On the male actor's side, Emblem received a total of 1470526 votes.

Following them are Chung Hon-liang with 1413301 votes, Ho Sheng-ming with 945732 votes, and Chen Szu-cheng with 926410 votes.

On the actress side, Yang Mi received a total of 366092 votes.

Following them are Tong Liya with 316625 votes, Ma Su with 14186 votes, and Song Jia with 3888 votes.

As we can see, the popularity of these two winners is genuine, with both leading by a large number of votes.

After the awards ceremony, the acceptance speech naturally followed.

Yang Mi thanked the Golden Eagle Awards again, saying, "My eyes welled up with tears many times tonight. The first time was when I sang 'Dad and Mom,' and then when I saw Sister Song Jia receive her award, I also got teary-eyed. I feel that the Golden Eagle Awards gave me a lot of touching moments and a lot of joy today. Thank you to the Golden Eagle Awards for this award."

It's worth mentioning here that when Song Jia received the award, it was presented to her by her university professor.

So this year's Golden Eagle Awards really managed to pull off some amazing things.

But then Yang Mi continued, "Then I met many good friends and seniors, thank you!"

By the way, I've actually nominated others before.

But when I was nominated for the first time, I was filming on set, and the crew told me, "Can you win an award? You probably can't, so don't go."

So I didn't attend the first nomination ceremony.

As he spoke, he turned to look at the emblem beside him, "It's about the same as yours, about the same as yours."

Herald smiled and nodded in response.

Chen Sicheng, who was in the audience, couldn't help but laugh when he heard Yang Mi say that.

The incident Yang Mi mentioned occurred in 2008, at the 24th Golden Eagle Awards and the 7th Golden Eagle Festival, when Yang Mi was nominated for the Most Popular Actress Award for her role as Wang Zhaojun in the TV series "Wang Zhaojun".

She was also automatically nominated for the Golden Eagle Award for Most Popular Actress.

At that time, Chen Sicheng was nominated for the Best Actor award at the Guanxi Awards for his role as Wang Dun in "Wang Zhaojun", competing for the award with his good friend Wang Baoqiang.

However, the result was naturally only a nomination.

Back then, in terms of popularity, who could rival Wang Baoqiang's Xu Sanduo?

In terms of acting skills, who can surpass Li Youbin's Zhu Kaishan?

In addition, there are Lin Yongjian and Wang Wufu (who played General Zhu in "Jinggang Mountain").

They were all genuinely talented actors, leaving the other nominees in despair.

The competition among male actors is fierce, and the competition among female actors is just as intense.

Liu Jia (Mother of the Gobi), Jiang Wenli (Golden Wedding), Tong Lei (Song of Youth), and Sarina (Crossing the Guandong).

At the time, Yang Mi was only 21 years old. Which of these four women could she defeat?

(She was only 19 years old when she actually played Wang Zhaojun, a freshman at the Beijing Film Academy, and hadn't received much systematic acting training yet!)

However, it's not that she doesn't want to attend, after all, she can broaden her horizons and make friends with senior figures in the industry.

However, she was filming "Chinese Paladin 3" and "Dream of the Red Chamber" at the time, and she was filming non-stop. The two directors had a problem with her because she was filming so many projects at the same time. How could she dare to ask for leave to attend the Golden Eagle Awards?

That way, you can enhance your qualifications.

When it was her turn to give her acceptance speech, she once again showed her deep affection for her husband: "Thank you to my wife. Because my wife is very busy right now, she took on all her work so that I could come..."

However, Emblem did have a rather manly air about him, as evidenced by his acceptance speech ending with: "I received this award for 'Snow Leopard,' and on behalf of the characters in the film, I want to say: 'DYD belongs to our China!'"

It certainly takes courage to say such things on such an important stage.

Afterwards, the 26th Golden Eagle Awards and the 9th Golden Eagle Festival came to a close amidst applause from film and television professionals and the audience.

The impact of this year's Golden Eagle Awards is only just beginning.
