Chapter 569 Best Newcomer Award

Fans were amazed by the dream collaboration between Ye Xian and the grassland bandits. When Ye Xian picked up the microphone and sang "The Wumeng Mountains connect to the mountains beyond mountains, the moonlight shines on Xiangshui Beach. Can anyone tell me if the heavens are calling to you?" together with Zeng Yilinghua, many celebrities in the audience actually joined in the singing.

This scene left the fans in the live stream completely stunned.

It turns out that the charm of square dance anthems has transcended the distinction between celebrities and ordinary people; people are no longer "connected to mountains beyond mountains" but rather "connected to people beyond people"!

The opening performance of "Lady Shexiang" ignited the Golden Bamboo Awards, and the subsequent award presentation drew gasps of amazement from everyone.

There were many films nominated for the Golden Bamboo Awards this year, but the most important ones were "Painted Skin" and "The Vanished".

"Painted Skin" received 15 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best New Performer, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Action Choreography, Best Original Film Score, Best Original Film Song, Best Sound Effects, and Best Visual Effects.

"Gone Girl" received eight nominations, including Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Film Score.

It's fair to say that these two films have swept all the major award nominations. As fans have said, if Ye Xian doesn't win anything today, then this year's Golden Bamboo Awards will be a mess.

So the host got nervous and joked, "These young people these days are really something! Two blockbusters in one year, and both with such high box office numbers. You're putting a lot of pressure on your seniors!"

The guests at the scene immediately burst into laughter, and everyone looked at Ye Xian, only to see him sitting very seriously with a perfect eight teeth showing.

Ye Xian is not a director, but he is better than a director.

Including "Dream of the Red Chamber", he has four film and television works that have been released, each of which has been a huge success.

Many people know his personality; if it weren't for the other members of the crew, he wouldn't even have attended this awards ceremony.

Ye Xian's non-competitive and unambitious attitude has earned him praise from many senior figures in the entertainment industry, but it has also made many of his peers secretly resentful, because Ye Xian's behavior makes everyone else seem vulgar.

You accepting the award is giving the organizing committee face, while everyone else accepting awards is chasing fame and fortune?

Nobody wants their public image to be associated with money, but that's how the audience and netizens perceive it, and nobody can change that.

Amidst the host's casual conversation, the first Best Newcomer Award was announced: "The winner of this year's Golden Bamboo Award for Best Newcomer is: Li Hong, for 'Painted Skin'."

Li Hong, who was secretly eating sunflower seeds with Chen Xu, was stunned. She never expected to win an award. She thought she was just a runner-up and wouldn't win even if she was nominated. She never expected to win.

Chen Xu, with his strong mental fortitude, calmly took the sunflower seeds from Li Hong's hand, then pushed her arm and lifted her up.

Li Hong stood up in a daze, first hugging Chen Xu, and then whispering, "I succeeded?"

"Go for it, honey, you can do it!"

Chen Xu patted her on the shoulder to encourage her.

The two joined Qiuye Yanxuan at the same time, but their fates were completely different. However, this does not mean that Li Hong is inferior. Now she can be considered to be making a name for herself.

Li Hong turned around and hugged everyone one by one. Finally, she walked up to Ye Xian, tears streaming down her face, and gave him a big hug. Ye Xian happily hugged her back, and just as he was about to let go, she grabbed his head and kissed him hard on the cheek: "Thank you, Brother Xian!"

Good-natured laughter erupted from the audience, and everyone in the live stream burst into laughter as well.

[Oh no, Aquaman has messed up in front of hundreds of millions of people!]

[How did it feel to be forcibly kissed, Brother Xian, in front of over 100 million online viewers? Did your mind go blank for even a moment, and your whole body tremble?]

[I really want to interview Princess Liu and Qiu Qing about their feelings! It's a pity they're not here, otherwise this would be hilarious!]

Wow, the director really knows the audience! He focused the camera on Chen Xu, and his little face is just too adorable!

……

Chen Xu hadn't expected her best friend to be so outgoing, and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up in her heart.

Sure enough, every woman who enters the entertainment industry is no pushover.

That kiss alone is enough to put Li Hong on the trending topics tomorrow.

Li Hong happily walked to the stage, accepted the Best Newcomer trophy, and excitedly thanked the organizing committee, the organizers, the production crew, and Qiuye Selection before calming down a bit: "Finally, I have to thank my benefactor, Brother Xian!"

The camera then focused on Ye Xian, who was helplessly wiping the lipstick stains off his face, and everyone smiled kindly again.

"Many people know that I auditioned for the role of Lin Daiyu with Chen Xu. At the time, I was very ambitious, but in the end, I couldn't beat Chen Xu, who had a background in directing. I was disappointed for a long time."

Li Hong's words evoked memories for many viewers in the live broadcast room and also drew envious glances from many female celebrities present to Chen Xu.

This girl is so lucky.

"Since then, I've known that my acting skills aren't good enough and I need to continue improving. Fortunately, Brother Xian gave me an opportunity. He hired professional acting teachers for us, gave us opportunities to intern and observe on set, and provided us with various resources to try things out..."

In fact, every artist who joins Qiuye Selection feels this way: if you don't learn and compete fiercely at Qiuye Selection, you'll be eliminated!

To perform well in a play, we rehearsed day and night, wrote character biographies, consulted teachers to rehearse, and talked to directors about the play. Every improvement was a happy torment.

I know there are many actors like me who harbor dreams and are waiting for their lucky star. What I want to say is, keep going! Our efforts will definitely be recognized!

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause. Every year, countless newcomers like Li Hong flood into the film and television industry, but very few actually make it big.

Li Hong may have been lucky to meet Ye Xian, but her own hard work is also evident.

Heaven may favor lucky children, but it will also surely favor those who work hard and strive for success.

The viewers in the live stream also gave Li Hong a thumbs up.

[Back then, I used to tell my friends stories about Li Hong, but I never imagined that in just one year, she would win the Best Newcomer Award.]

Perhaps her brilliance has been overshadowed by Chen Xu, but her professional abilities are extremely high; she simply lacks an opportunity to shoulder a significant responsibility.

I think this is a good approach. She can hone her skills with a few roles first, and then Brother Xian will definitely give her a chance to take on leading roles.

Haven't you noticed that the artists who work with Brother Xian are gradually starting to win major awards? And it hasn't even been that long! Brother Xian's ability to create stars is truly amazing!
