Chapter 259 The winner of Best Actress is—Yan Zhuoyu!
By mid-June, "Sword Chant" had grossed over 70 billion yuan at the box office, and its momentum remains strong, continuing to rise. Besides the initial promotion, subsequent success relied entirely on audiences spontaneously sharing and recommending the film, which fully demonstrates its positive word-of-mouth; only good word-of-mouth can ensure sustained success.
Thanks to the success of this film, Yan Zhuoyu's Weibo followers have exceeded 50 million. Among the new followers are not only movie fans, but also loyal users of the company's products. The majority of the followers are women, and the fan activity level is extremely high.
Coinciding with the biennial Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Films, Yan Zhuoyu was unsurprisingly nominated for Best Actress thanks to the votes of her fans.
On the day of the awards ceremony, Yan Zhuoyu and Qin Zhuyue went to the venue together.
Grandma and Lin Qinglan, along with a group of relatives and friends, eagerly waited in front of the television to watch the live broadcast on the movie channel.
Before the live stream even started, the opening advertisements were for products from Yan Zhuoyu's company, and she was the spokesperson.
Following her was Pei's Group's AI-sponsored advertisement.
The commercial ended, the stage lights shone brightly, and the audience was filled with celebrities from all walks of life in the entertainment industry.
Holding the microphone, the host said enthusiastically, "Thank you to the above companies for their generous support of this event!"
The awards ceremony began with the announcement of the Best Supporting Actor award.
Clips of the Best Supporting Actor nominees were played on the big screen. The superb acting skills of the five male actors were showcased one by one, and after voting by the members of the selection committee, the winner of the Best Supporting Actor award was quickly determined.
The applause of the audience was thunderous.
Yan Zhuoyu and the people around her stood up together, smiling as they offered their sincere congratulations.
After the Best Supporting Actor award was presented, it was time for the Best Supporting Actress award, which went to Lin Xiangyi.
Seeing that "Sword Chant" had already won an award, Fu Zhuchen pricked up his ears, waiting for the next award to be announced.
Yan Zhuoyu is being nominated for Best Actress for the first time.
She was a little nervous, so she took a deep breath to calm herself down and stay peaceful.
In the entertainment industry, it's not uncommon for veteran actors, despite their exceptional talent and numerous film credits, to repeatedly miss out on awards. She's only been making films for a year, so even if she didn't win, she won't feel particularly regretful.
She felt deeply honored to be nominated for Best Actress.
This represents recognition of her abilities, and she should continue to hone and refine her acting skills.
That being said, Yan Zhuoyu was fully armed today.
She wore a watch on each wrist; one was a gold and red couple's watch that Pei Weijin had bought for her, and the other was a white couple's watch that she had bought for herself.
She even wore the spirit fox ring on her ring finger.
The three accessories clearly didn't match her makeup and styling that day, and the stylist even suggested that she change the accessories or dress.
But Yan Zhuoyu refused, thinking it was time to make their relationship public.
Qin Zhuyue, who was standing next to her, had already gone up on stage to receive her award and returned.
Currently, only the Best Actress award remains to be announced. "Sword Chant" has already won four awards: Best Supporting Actress, Best Feature Film, Best Director, and Best Screenplay.
After another song and dance performance, the host announced with a smile: "Next, please welcome our award presenters - Yu Xi and Shen Ruiyi."
When Yan Zhuoyu heard the host mention her teacher Yu Xi's name, she looked up towards the stage.
Teacher Yu Xi remained as gentle and serene as ever. After introducing herself to the male actor, she offered her blessings to the five nominees, then turned slightly to face the big screen.
The big screen began to display clips of the nominees' outstanding works.
A deep male voice then rang out: "Yan Zhuoyu, nominee for Best Actress at the 60th Hundred Flowers Awards, for her work 'Sword Chant'..."
On the screen, a desolate wasteland ravaged by a raging wind is filled with dust and sand.
Feng Xingsheng wore a deep red Tibetan robe, and rode a black horse with its hooves swift as the wind.
Her hair flew wildly, she was defiant and fearless in the face of her enemies behind her, calmly drawing her bow to fight back.
Like wild grass in the wilderness, even in adversity, it can still thrive and grow wildly.
The ten-second clip flashed by.
Yan Zhuoyu watched the clips of the other nominees on the screen with complete focus, unconsciously clenching her fists.
After all 101 audience members cast their votes, the real-time vote count appeared on the big screen.
The pillar bearing Yan Zhuoyu's name rose rapidly, much like Feng Xingsheng in the film, leaving everyone else in the dust, and ultimately winning nearly half the votes.
"Time's up! The winner of Best Actress is—Yan Zhuoyu!"
"Let's invite Yan Zhuoyu to the stage to accept her award!"
……
Upon hearing the result, Qin Zhuyue, who was sitting next to Yan Zhuoyu, immediately hugged her.
"Congratulations, beautiful Lady Yan! You truly deserve it! Don't forget me when you become rich and powerful!"
Yan Zhuoyu was being held by her, and it took her a beat to raise her arms and hug her back.
She lowered her eyes, blinked lightly, and her thick, curled eyelashes became damp. When she looked up again, her eyes were full of a bright smile.
"Thank you, Xiaoyuezi. I'll treat you to tangyuan (sweet rice balls) tomorrow."
Qin Zhuyue smiled and let go of her: "Alright, stop talking about tangyuan, go and claim your prize."
Director Fu, in his excitement, also wanted to hug her. But as he approached Yan Zhuoyu, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine and realized it wasn't appropriate. He quickly stopped and gave Yan Zhuoyu a thumbs-up. "Congratulations, our best actress!"
Yan Zhuoyu gave him a thumbs up and walked towards the stage surrounded by the crowd.
Along the way, actors, directors, and screenwriters, whether they had worked with her before or not, all sent her their blessings.
Yan Zhuoyu stood in the center of the stage, the spotlight shining on her, making even her hair seem to glow.
She accepted the trophy presented by teacher Yu Xi, turned around to face the audience, and began to give her acceptance speech.
In the audience, Pei Weijin sat in the first row, watching her intently, clapping for her, his eyes full of love and pride for her.
He was still wearing three watches today, with a white wolf ring on his ring finger.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the director switched the camera to Pei Weijin's side, then quickly cut back to the stage.
Although the shot only lasted two or three seconds, the viewers in the live stream who were watching with magnifying glasses still noticed something fishy, and the barrage of comments instantly surged, almost filling the entire screen.
[Holy crap, I was just saying that Sister Yan's makeup and styling today were a bit odd, the evening gown and business watch didn't quite match, but when the camera panned to President Pei, their watches looked like they were a couple's...]
[What couple watches? It's probably just a coincidence, right? Besides, isn't that the watch brand that Yan Zhuoyu endorses? There's nothing wrong with wearing them.]
[I don't believe it. What kind of good people would coincidentally wear two matching couple watches? Even if they weren't bought together, there's definitely something fishy going on! I'm really afraid that Yan Da Meiren's acceptance speech will turn into an official announcement of her relationship!]
Don't believe or spread rumors, focus on Sister Yan's work! Waiting for the truth!
Even if things are really as we think, it's not that unacceptable. Everyone has seen what Yan Zhuoyu has been doing lately, and he's also frequently involved in charity work. Two good people together will only get better. Ugh, I just want to say, there's definitely something going on between them! Look at that ring, it's a perfect match for me!
